    From the viral moment on The Traitors to the biology of the "silent but deadly," this episode is an unashamed deep dive into flatulence. Drs Siobhan and Sheena are joined by Julie Thompson, Lead Dietitian at Guts UK Charity, to break the stigma around passing wind. We discuss what normal gas looks like, why fiber makes us farty (and why that's a good thing!), and the truth about the Low FODMAP diet for IBS sufferers.

    Originally recorded in 2019, this episode of Converge Autism Radio continues to resonate years later as conversations around late-diagnosed autistic women, masking, trauma, and identity have come into sharper focus.In Autism in Women: Late Diagnosis, Masking, and the Minds That Move Us Forward, we speak with Madonna Kilpatrick, a late-diagnosed autistic woman whose background spans anthropology, sociology, theater, improvisation, stand-up comedy, and museum education.Referred to the show by Dr. Mark Goulston, Madonna brings both intellectual rigor and lived experience to a deeply human conversation about what it means to discover your neurodivergence in adulthood—after decades of navigating the world without language for your wiring. Together, we explore high masking, stigma, creativity as survival, the overlap between trauma and neurodivergence, and how autistic cognition has quietly shaped culture, innovation, and progress all along. Madonna reflects on school, theater, intelligence, social expectations, and the cost of being misread for most of one's life—and what becomes possible when clarity finally arrives.This conversation predates much of today's mainstream dialogue around late diagnosis, yet it anticipates many of the insights now widely discussed: the limits of functioning labels, the emotional toll of masking, and the urgent need for more humane, nuanced understandings of autism—especially in women. Editor's NotesThis episode was recorded in 2019. Some terminology used reflects common clinical and cultural language of that time.References to terms such as “high-functioning” appear in the conversation. Current best practice emphasizes support needs and lived experience rather than functioning labels.Mentions of Asperger's / Asperger syndrome reflect diagnostic language in use at the time of recording. Today, these traits are understood within Autism Spectrum Disorder.These notes are included for context, not correction. The lived experiences and insights shared in this episode remain valid and valuable.This episode remains widely shared because it captures something timeless: the relief, grief, humor, and self-recognition that often accompany late diagnosis—and the realization that the minds once labeled “too much,” “too strange,” or “too intense” are often the very minds that move humanity forward.www.springbrookbehavioral.comwww.convergeautism.comwww.allabilitiesnofilter.com

Democrats use tragedies to push gun control and allegedly “justify violence,” contrasted with Trump preventing violence by arresting and deporting criminals/terrorists.

    Episode #514: The Theater of Politics and the Architecture of Control

    Crazy Wisdom

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 15, 2025 60:01


    In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Villar for a wide-ranging conversation on Argentina, Spain's political drift, fiat money, the psychology of crowds, Dr. Hawkins' levels of consciousness, the role of elites and intelligence agencies, spiritual warfare, and whether modern technology accelerates human freedom or deepens control. Javier speaks candidly about symbolism, the erosion of sovereignty, the pandemic as a global turning point, and how spiritual frameworks help make sense of political theater.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart and Javier compare Argentina and Spain, touching on cultural similarity, Argentinization, socialism, and the slow collapse of fiat systems.05:00 They explore Brave New World conditioning, narrative control, traditional Catholics, and the psychology of obedience in the pandemic.10:00 Discussion shifts to Milei, political theater, BlackRock, Vanguard, mega-corporations, and the illusion of national sovereignty under a single world system.15:00 Stewart and Javier examine China, communism, spiritual structures, karmic cycles, Kali Yuga, and the idea of governments at war with their own people.20:00 They move into Revelations, Hawkins, calibrations, conspiracy labels, satanic vs luciferic energy, and elites using prophecy as a script.25:00 Conversation deepens into ego vs Satan, entrapment networks, Epstein Island, Crowley, Masonic symbolism, and spiritual corruption.30:00 They question secularism, the state as religion, technology, AI, surveillance, freedom of currency, and the creative potential suppressed by government.35:00 Ending with Bitcoin, stablecoins, network-state ideas, U.S. power, Argentina's contradictions, and whether optimism is still warranted.Key InsightsArgentina and Spain mirror each other's decline. Javier argues that despite surface differences, both countries share cultural instincts that make them vulnerable to the same political traps—particularly the expansion of the welfare state, the erosion of sovereignty, and what he calls the “Argentinization” of Spain. This framing turns the episode into a study of how nations repeat each other's mistakes.Fiat systems create a controlled collapse rather than a dramatic one. Instead of Weimar-style hyperinflation, Javier claims modern monetary structures are engineered to “boil the frog,” preserving the illusion of stability while deepening dependency on the state. This slow-motion decline is portrayed as intentional rather than accidental.Political leaders are actors within a single global architecture of power. Whether discussing Milei, Trump, or European politics, Javier maintains that governments answer to mega-corporations and intelligence networks, not citizens. National politics, in this view, is theater masking a unified global managerial order.Pandemic behavior revealed mass submission to narrative control. Stewart and Javier revisit 2020 as a psychological milestone, arguing that obedience to lockdowns and mandates exposed a widespread inability to question authority. For Javier, this moment clarified who can perceive truth and who collapses under social pressure.Hawkins' map of consciousness shapes their interpretation of good and evil. They use the 200 threshold to distinguish animal from angelic behavior, exploring whether ego itself is the “Satanic” force. Javier suggests Hawkins avoided explicit talk of Satan because most people cannot face metaphysical truth without defensiveness.Elites rely on symbolic power, secrecy, and coercion. References to Epstein Island, Masonic symbolism, and intelligence-agency entrapment support Javier's view that modern control systems operate through sexual blackmail, ritual imagery, and hidden hierarchies rather than democratic mechanisms.Technology's promise is strangled by state power. While Stewart sees potential in AI, crypto, and network-state ideas, Javier insists innovation is meaningless without freedom of currency, association, and exchange. Technology is neutral, he argues, but becomes a tool of surveillance and control when monopolized by governments.

    Every year teaches me something different, but 2025 felt especially powerful. It reminded me of the emotional side of migraines that often gets overlooked, and helped me reconnect with what women are truly carrying beneath the surface. These are the lessons that shaped me this year. I hope they help you feel seen, understood, and supported. In this episode, I break down the deeper patterns I saw again and again in the women I serve - the fears they hold, the burdens they carry, the gaps in their education, and the transformations that happen when they finally receive the guidance and support they deserve. In this episode, you'll hear: Why fear is one of the heaviest parts of the migraine experience: fear of failing again, of being disappointed, of trusting the wrong person, of believing this is "as good as life gets." How daily migraine pain affects women far more than people realize: making basic tasks like cooking, working, and being present for their families feel overwhelming. Why so many women still think medication is the complete answer: how messaging, marketing, and quick medical visits have left them without real education about their bodies. The results that continue to move me every single year: women reducing migraine days dramatically, reclaiming their lives, and gaining back their confidence, identity, and long-term health. The bigger truth 2025 revealed: migraine work is not just symptom work. It's a whole-body, whole-life transformation.   Resources & Links

This December, you can access the proven genetics that have quietly shaped herds across North America for decades. Moose Creek Red Angus: A Legacy Built Since 1972 Founded in southeast Saskatchewan, Moose Creek Red Angus has grown from a single cow into one of Canada's most respected Red Angus programs. Raised on native range south of the Moose Mountains, this herd is known for cattle that are hardy, functional, and built for real-world ranch conditions. Why Moose Creek Genetics Stand Out For over five decades, the Ippolito family has focused on the traits that truly matter: Maternal strength with females that consistently raise high-quality calves Longevity to thrive in tough environments Fertility and efficiency for low-maintenance, easy-keeping cattle Proven performance in both purebred and commercial herds No shortcuts—just reliable genetics that keep customers coming back. 2025 Moose Creek Red Angus Herd Dispersal This complete dispersal includes: Bred heifers and cows Bull and heifer calves Pregnant recipients Herd bulls Semen and embryos Whether you're building a maternal-focused purebred herd or improving commercial replacements, these genetics offer long-term value and herd-shaping potential.

The move came Saturday through an executive order. It directs both the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission to form separate task forces, each charged with taking “all necessary and appropriate actions” to look into the food supply chain. That includes examining whether foreign ownership in food-related industries is driving up grocery prices or posing a national or economic security risk. In the order, Trump said anti-competitive behavior — especially by companies under foreign control — threatens the stability and affordability of America's food supply. He pointed to past settlements in which some companies paid millions to resolve price-fixing allegations. The administration, he said, intends to determine whether such practices are raising the cost of living for Americans and whether they pose any security concerns. The President also said that if Attorney General Pam Bondi uncovers criminal collusion, the Justice Department could pursue criminal charges, including convening grand juries. The task forces are required to provide their first updates to Congress within 180 days, and again within the first year of the investigation. This executive order follows Trump's earlier directive for the DOJ to immediately investigate alleged collusion and price manipulation among U.S. meatpackers. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Attorney General Bondi voiced support for the effort, even as reports surfaced that a previous DOJ probe into beef-packer concentration, launched in 2020, ended without charges. According to the Wall Street Journal, Rollins, along with trade adviser Peter Navarro and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, has recently met with Trump to discuss rising beef prices.

    Episode 224: Finding Happiness in Others' Joy

    Imagine feeling a burst of joy every time someone else wins. A friend gets a promotion, your sister finds love, a stranger shares good news, and you feel happiness with them. That spark of delight is the heart of sympathetic joy, or mudita, a Buddhist practice that  flips the script on comparison and jeaousy. It turns the happiness of others into a source of our own happiness. It's not magic, but it feels like it. When sympathetic joy is practiced with the bodhicitta intention to become a Buddha for the benefit of all beings, it becomes "Immeasurable Joy." Immeasurable Joy is a trained capacity, a state of mind you can cultivate until it becomes natural and limitless. When we learn to genuinely rejoice in others' good fortune, our own heart becomes lighter. Life feels less like a competition and more like a shared celebration. Science-backed Benefits of Sympathetic Joy: Greater life satisfaction and happiness Better relationships More willingness to help others Better health outcomes and lower stress (Smith, 2022) Ways to practice sympathetic joy: Use meditation:  Start with a loved one: Begin by focusing on someone you care about and genuinely rejoicing in their happiness.  Expand the feeling: Gradually extend this feeling to others you are neutral toward, and then to those you find difficult.  Change your mindset: Instead of feeling that happiness is scarce, recognize the interconnectedness of all beings and cultivate an appreciation for what you have.  Practice gratitude: Cultivating a sense of gratitude for your own life can help you rejoice in the good fortune of others without feeling like there is less for you.  Sympathetic joy is one of the Four Immeasurables in Mahayana Buddhism: Immeasurable Love Immeasurable Compassion Immeasurable Joy Immeasurable Equanimity "One day, a Brahmin man asked the Buddha, 'What can I do to be sure that I will be with Brahma after I die?' The Buddha replied,'As Brahma is the source of Love, to dwell with him you must practice the Brahma-viharas [Four Immeasurables]—love, compassion, joy, and equanimity.

    In this episode of the Training Science Podcast, Prof Paul Laursen sits down with Professor Anthony Turner to unpack the fundamental laws that underpin performance in every sport, from explosive team games to marathon running and cycling. Instead of debating opinions or trends, Anthony brings everything back to first principles: Newton's laws of motion, impulse, force, and the biomechanics of movement.Using endurance running as the main example, the conversation explores why strength training is just as essential as VO₂max and threshold for performance and economy. Ant explains how maximum strength and rate of force development shape running economy, ground contact time, stretch-shortening cycle efficiency, and ultimately time to exhaustion. They then extend these concepts to running, cycling, and long-term robustness.Listeners will also learn how to progress strength logically: from movement quality and symmetry, to heavy lifting, to power work and plyometrics, all while staying healthy and reducing injury risk. Whether you coach team sports, work with endurance athletes, or train yourself, this episode will change the way you think about strength training, biomechanics, and sport performance.Perfect for anyone interested in strength and conditioning, running economy, endurance performance, injury prevention, and applied sport science.References:https://thefitnessformula.training/_____________________ Today's speakers:Prof Paul Laursen  https://www.paullaursen.com/   Anthony Turner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-turner-62073788/_____________________

Our fate is decided by Sir and his new Apprentice, who read our remnants to determine whether they should be re-shelved or discarded. But what are the criteria? What happens to discarded souls? How are new lives for the re-shelved determined? And why, after untold stretches of existence, has Sir decided that he needs help to do it? Remnants explores the boundaries between right and wrong, examining humanity from its brightest and best to its darkest and most frightening, and all the grey in between.

    Winter sowing is a seed-starting method that sounds a little bit wild the first time you hear it but makes sense if you think about it from a horticultural standpoint. Basically you are sowing seeds in recycled containers like milk jugs and placing them outside in the winter as a very hands-off way of starting your spring garden.If you've ever:• Run out of space under grow lights• Been frustrated by leggy indoor seedlings• Or just felt like you don't have the time or money or inclination for a full seed-starting setup…winter sowing might be your new favorite technique.Let's dig in!References and Resources:University of Missouri Extension.

    1) Media vs. Military: Narco‑Boat Strikes Central assertion: Media outlets (especially The Washington Post) allegedly “slandered” the military with false reporting about a U.S. strike on a Venezuelan drug boat; Senator Tom Cotton is quoted saying everyone on the boat was a “valid target” based on intelligence. Details cited: References to NBC’s question about orders by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to target all individuals on the boat; Cotton responds that the operation aimed to destroy drug boats and that intelligence gave “high confidence” all aboard were traffickers. Discussion of the Law of War Manual and whether firing on “shipwrecked” persons would be illegal; the host’s questions are framed as attempts to undermine the military. Broader framing: The piece compares this episode to past controversies (e.g., the “Russia dossier”), alleging coordinated efforts by Democrats and media to undermine or criminalize Trump officials and intimidate service members. 2) Voter Rolls & Election Integrity Core allegation: The Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon (spelled “Harmei Dylon” in the text) purportedly announced DOJ findings of 260,000+ deceased individuals on voter rolls and thousands of registered non‑citizens; DOJ has sued multiple states to obtain voter list data. States mentioned: Lawsuits or actions described against Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and large cleanup activity in North Carolina (over 100,000 registrations) Author’s stance: Argues for voter ID, claims Democrats oppose roll cleanup for political advantage, and quotes Trump asserting elections are “crooked and rigged.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

    In this episode of Behind the Knife, the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) team dives deep into the evolving field of common bile duct exploration (CBDE). From the historical context of laparoscopic approaches to the latest advances including robotic-assisted techniques, Drs. Shaina Eckhouse, James Jung, Zachary Weitzner, and Joey Lew discuss key evidence shaping modern practice. Listeners will learn about indications and anatomy guiding trans-cystic versus trans-choledochal approaches, practical tips for safe stone clearance, and critical considerations around learning curves and team coordination for robotic procedures. The episode also highlights important studies comparing single-stage laparoscopic CBDE with staged ERCP and cholecystectomy, emphasizing outcomes such as stone clearance, pancreatitis rates, and hospital length of stay. This comprehensive overview is a must-listen for MIS and acute care surgeons interested in optimizing the management of choledocholithiasis and streamlining patient care with minimally invasive techniques. Hosts:  - Shaina Eckhouse, MD, Bariatric Surgery Medical Director and Vice Chair of Clinical Operations, Department of Surgery, Duke University - James Jung, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Duke University - Zachary Weitzner, MD, Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery Fellow, Duke University, @ZachWeitznerMD - Joey Lew, MD, MFA, Surgical resident PGY-3, Duke University, @lew__actually Learning Goals:  By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to: -  Describe the historical approaches to managing choledocholithiasis, including staged interventions and the evolution toward single-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (CBDE). -  Summarize key clinical evidence comparing CBDE and ERCP, including landmark studies and meta-analyses evaluating outcomes, complications, and trends over time.​ - Distinguish between transcystic and transcholedochal approaches to CBDE, explaining indications, contraindications, and technical nuances for each technique.​ -  Identify appropriate candidates for transcystic exploration based on cystic duct anatomy and stone characteristics.​ - Recognize the impact of newer surgical technologies—such as digital choledochoscopy, Spyglass, and robotic platforms—on CBDE practice, efficiency, and safety.​ - Discuss the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork, preparation, and perioperative planning for successful CBDE, particularly in complex or altered anatomy cases.​​ - Appraise the learning curve and quality of evidence for new CBDE procedures, outlining the need for mentorship, ongoing training, and knowing when to collaborate with GI or hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) surgery.​ - Outline approaches and bailout strategies for challenging cases, including patients with surgically altered anatomy and use of adjuncts such as intraoperative cholangiography (IOC), feeding tube placement, and Fanelli stents.​​ - Evaluate safety outcomes and limitations associated with robotic-assisted CBDE and single-stage management, incorporating recent data from population-based studies.​ -  Reflect on strategies for tailoring CBDE techniques to individual patient anatomy, surgeon experience, and available resources, advocating for evidence-based practice and continuous learning.

    Cardinal St John Henry Newman is a Catholic saint who lived in the nineteenth century and was canonised in 2019. In November 2025, he was officially declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIV. This is a title held by only 38 saints in the entire history of the church, and it is given to those whose writings are of benefit to the whole church. John Henry Newman was an Anglican priest and Oxford academic who converted to Catholicism and was eventually made a cardinal. He is one of the most significant Catholic figures of the nineteenth century, known for his academic brilliance and his personal holiness.

    ***WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT CONTAINS ELEMENTS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SOME AUDIENCES. References to sexual assault, abuse, and potential trauma INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.The story starts with chaos—kids in the doorway, a violent assault, sirens in the street—and becomes a masterclass in survival, strategy, and justice. We sit with Lindsay Hendricks as she walks us through the realities most people never see: the cycle of abuse, the excuses that keep you trapped, the way gaslighting isolates you from family, and the hard choices you make when children are watching everything.We get candid about the legal fork in the road: take it to trial and risk retraumatizing testimony, or accept a plea that guarantees decades behind bars. The team chooses to protect the children—and two judges go further. Ada County hands down 65 years fixed. Canyon County follows with life without parole, after playing a recorded jail call where the abuser and his mother mock the victims' pain. It's the rare moment when the system does what it should.This conversation is raw and emotional. We outline red flags worth memorizing, how to build a quiet exit plan, why hidden savings matter, and how to document everything without jeopardizing an investigation. We talk therapy, survivor mindset, and the guilt that can swallow a parent whole—and how to keep it from consuming your life. We also push for change: clearer minimums for child sexual abuse, tech-savvy investigations, and judges who match sentences to the harm done.If you've ever wondered what it takes to get from sirens to sentencing—and how to support someone living in fear—this is your blueprint.

    Skip the banter: 00:06:22 (give or take a minute depending on ads) In 2014, 14-year-old Breck Bednar was a bright, tech-savvy teenager who loved gaming and coding with his friends online. When a charismatic older gamer named Lewis began appearing in their chat group, claiming to be a 17-year-old entrepreneur with his own company and connections to the U.S. government, Breck was fascinated by someone who seemed to share his passion for technology. But as months passed, Breck's mother Lorin noticed disturbing changes. Her once-open son became secretive and distant, defending his new friend against her growing concerns. Despite her attempts to intervene, including contacting police about potential grooming, Lewis had already woven an invisible web of manipulation around her son. Breck's story exposes the terrifying reality of online predators who hide behind screens, exploiting the trust of vulnerable teens in spaces where they feel safest, and serves as a stark reminder that danger can enter our homes through something as ordinary as a gaming headset.
