A renewed investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's potential trafficking activities involving his private jet – the “Lolita Express” – has hit a significant roadblock because key official records no longer exist. UK police examining whether Epstein transported victims into Britain through Royal Air Force bases and commercial airports have discovered that critical flight documentation has been destroyed by routine data retention policies: RAF passenger manifests are only kept for three months, and air traffic control logs are purged after about two years, leaving investigators with large gaps in the flight history they hoped to trace. With no preserved official records, detectives may be forced to rely on emails, civil aviation files, and witness testimony to reconstruct the pattern of movements linked to the jet.The development comes amid heightened scrutiny of whether flights to the UK – including at bases such as RAF Northolt – were tied to human trafficking and whether high-profile figures, including Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), had any involvement or benefitted from these movements. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged six police forces to look deeper into the matter and press for interviews with airport staff and other potential sources of flight data that might not have been destroyed. A BBC investigation previously identified nearly 90 flights associated with Epstein's aircraft between the 1990s and 2018, some of which allegedly involved British women, underscoring the public interest in uncovering evidence now lost due to routine data destruction.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Cops reopen investigation into Epstein UK flights... but evidence ‘has been destroyed'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ralph welcomes J.B. Branch (Public Citizen's Big Tech accountability advocate) to discuss some of the sectors that Big Tech is disrupting with artificial intelligence. Then, Steve, David, and Hannah speak to Russell Mokhiber about the latest issue of the Capitol Hill Citizen. Finally, Ralph speaks on the legacy of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson.J.B. Branch is the Big Tech accountability advocate for Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. He leads Public Citizen's advocacy efforts on artificial intelligence accountability, consumer data and privacy rights, tech product safety, platform oversight, and child online safety protections.What's happening is these AI companies are taking a page out of the playbook of the social media days. When social media was brand new, they were trying to say that this technology is going to lead to people being more connected, it's going to lead to efficiencies, it's going to lead to overall positives. And in fact, there were times where you had big tech CEOs who were saying that a lot of this money was going to trickle down. And you look down, and you look up, and I'm not any richer because Facebook stock is soaring or Microsoft's is soaring. What we're really seeing is the same thing that's happened with these large tech companies—which is that they promised the world, they offer back very little, and in fact, what they offer up is a series of harms.JB BranchCongress has been really bought into AI. They're buying into this idea that it's a race for the world between us and China. So you have some congressional folks who believe that this is a race against China and that we need to harness this weapon. And then you have a lot of corporate money from these AI companies…They're dumping a lot of money into congressional races, to ensure that they're propping up candidates who align with this deregulatory scheme.JB BranchRussell Mokhiber is editor of the Corporate Crime Reporter and the Capitol Hill Citizen. He is also founder of singlepayeraction.org, and editor of the website Morgan County USA.I see [the Capitol Hill Citizen] philosophy along a couple lines. One is that it's not left right, it's top down. We consider both political parties corrupt to the core, but there's a rising tide of activism against both parties, against the institutional parties. And so, for example, in the current issue, we bristle against those who are what we call “negativo”. We're very “positivo”. So while we're living in very difficult times, there's a rising tide of activism challenging members of Congress, both current members in Congress as citizen activists and also as candidates…And so what we're seeing is this up-down resurgence from the bottom—populists of all stripes rising up against the technocratic billionaires who've brought us to this state.Russell Mokhiber[Jesse Jackson] was an advocate of non-violence, of self-reliance. And the amazing thing about him is how he appeared everywhere. I mean there was nothing remote about Jesse Jackson. He appeared everywhere. If the farmers were being driven into bankruptcy by agribusiness, he was there. If there need to be prisoners released in foreign countries, he was there… The thing that most people didn't realize is how much personal pressure he was under by his opponents. In those days, challenging certain conditions that we don't even know about now because of Jesse and other civil rights leaders' works, really upset the power structure. And they didn't take it lying down. So all these places he went to, he was very much under great pressure.Ralph NaderNews 2/20/26* Our top stories this week concern the continuing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. First, the Columbus Dispatch reports Republican Senator Jon Husted of Ohio accepted more than $100,000 from Epstein associate Les Wexner. Husted's opponent in his reelection campaign, former Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, blasted Husted for accepting this money and implied that Wexner's donations pushed Husted to initially vote against releasing the Epstein files. In damage control mode, the Husted campaign announced they would donate Wexner's campaign contributions to charity. Wexner himself appeared in front of the House Oversight committee this week. Wexner denied any wrongdoing, claiming that Epstein “conned” him and called him a “clever, diabolical … master manipulator.” Democrats on the committee were skeptical, with Congressman Robert Garcia stating “There is no single person that was more involved with providing Jeffrey Epstein with the financial support to commit his crimes than Les Wexner,” per the Hill.* In related news, the New York Times reports Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has been arrested for misconduct stemming from his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically, he stands accused of passing along confidential information to Epstein while the disgraced former prince served as a British trade envoy. His brother, King Charles III is quoted saying he supports a “full, fair and proper process” to investigate these claims. The Times notes the striking disparity in the official response from law enforcement in the U.K. versus the U.S., writing, “The British authorities have moved aggressively to investigate the possibility of crimes emerging from the three million pages of correspondence with Mr. Epstein… police in the United States have not.”* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, prominent entertainment executive and sports agent Casey Wasserman has drawn fire from many LA politicians, including City Controller Kenneth Mejia, L.A. County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez and fellow Councilmember and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman over his ties to Epstein lieutenant Ghislane Maxwell, as revealed in the latest tranche of files. High-profile clients of Wasserman's agency immediately began to abandon the firm. High profile deserters include pop star Chappell Roan and Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach. Wasserman announced he would sell the agency shortly thereafter. However, Wasserman still chairs the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Committee. This week, LA Mayor Karen Bass weighed in to call Wasserman's behavior “abhorrent” and say that while she cannot fire him, it is her opinion that he should step down. Astonishingly, the LA28 board announced after a review of Wasserman's conduct that he should remain on as committee chair. This from LA Magazine.* Speaking of local boards, this week New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the appointment of six new members of the Rent Guidelines Board, including a new Chair. With these six appointments, comprising two-thirds of the total board, Mamdani is poised to deliver on one of his key campaign promises – a rent freeze for tenants in rent-stabilized apartments. These appointees range from experienced civil servants to academics to union organizers, among others. This is a major victory for Mamdani, and comes at a key moment when other items on his governing agenda are being challenged by budgetary constraints due to long-term mismanagement of the city's finances.* Another rent-related story comes to us from Minnesota. CBS reports the tenants union Twin Cities Tenants, along with five labor unions totaling over 25,000 workers, are calling for a statewide rent strike to pressure lawmakers to enact an eviction moratorium. This comes in the context of Operation Metro Surge, the federal government's sprawling immigration enforcement action which resulted in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. As this piece notes, many residents of the Twin Cities stayed home from work during the operation, out of fear of being detained, resulting in many tenants being short on rent ahead of March 1st. According to an analysis by the University of Minnesota renters in the state have racked up between $27 and $51 million in rent debt since the onset of Metro Surge. This in addition to the average statewide rent debt of $44.6 million in any two-month period.* Turning to Gaza-related news, this week saw major updates in the legal drama of Palestine Action in Britain. On February 13th, AP reported that the country's High Court ruled the government acted unlawfully by outlawing Palestine Action and deeming it a terrorist organization. The Judges said that Palestine Action's activities did not meet the “level, scale and persistence” that would justify a legal proscription. However, the court allowed the government to keep the ban in place pending the government's appeal. The group was banned last June after breaking into a Royal Air Force base to protest the slaughter in Gaza. Despite this ruling in the group's favor, which came on the heels of a ruling dismissing charges against six Palestine Action activists, the BBC reports those activists will be retried by the government over their alleged role in causing damage to an Elbit Systems facility near Bristol. Charges against 18 other defendants accused of participating in the break-in will be dropped.* Meanwhile, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and one of the Catholic Church's highest officials, was asked to comment on President Trump's proposed Board of Peace, the international body intended to oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza. Pizzaballa replied “What do I think of the Board of Peace? I think it is a colonialist operation: others deciding for the Palestinians.” The Patriarch added “They asked us to enter. I've never had a billion (dollars),” referring to the $1 billion price for a permanent board seat, but “above all, this is not the Church's task: It is the sacraments, the dignity of the person.” This from OSV News. Pizzaballa has long sought self-determination for the Palestinians alongside peace in the region, even putting his own life on the line for that cause. Just after the October 7th Hamas attacks, Pizzaballa offered to exchange himself for the Israeli hostages in Hamas custody.* And in East Asia, NBC reports ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been found guilty of insurrection over his failed self-coup plot, which involved storming parliament and imposing martial law. The South Korean high court stopped short of accepting the prosecution's request for the death penalty – which they justified using the case law derived from the execution of King Charles Stuart of England in 1649 – and instead sentenced Yoon to life in prison. Decrying the verdict, Yoon's lawyers called the trial “nothing more than a mere formality to reach a predetermined conclusion.” Yoon has the right to appeal the ruling. Given the failure of American institutions to check the creeping authoritarianism in our political system, it is awe-inspiring to see it happen in a country that has struggled with authoritarian rule in its much more recent past.* Turning back to domestic news, Mike Selig, the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) posted a strange video this week, claiming that “American prediction markets have been hit with an onslaught of state-led litigation,” and announcing that the CFTC will launch a legal campaign to block states from regulating sites like Polymarket and Kalshi by asserting that such regulation is the sole purview of the Commission. In the video, Selig argues that these sites “provide useful functions for society by allowing everyday Americans to hedge commercial risks, like increases in temperature and energy price spikes…[and] serve as an important check on our news media and our information streams.” A number of states have taken action to regulate prediction markets, including Nevada, along with Arizona, Michigan, New York and Illinois, to name just a few. One powerful constituency pushing for state-level regulation of prediction markets is the traditional gambling industry. Adam Greenblatt, CEO of sportsbook BetMGM, thundered in a recent interview “They pay no state taxes, there are no consumer protections, there are no penalties for underage play.” This from Axios.* Finally, we pay tribute to activist, civil rights leader, and political forefather of modern multiracial progressive politics, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jackson, who passed away this week at age 84, was a protégé of Martin Luther King and ran groundbreaking presidential campaigns in the 1980s assembling the “Rainbow Coalition,” which sought civil rights for racial and ethnic minorities and the LGBT community alongside a sweeping anti-poverty agenda. In the 1990s, Jackson was elected Shadow Delegate and then Shadow Senator for the District of Columbia. In the 21st century, Jackson took on an elder statesman role in progressive circles, continuing to lead the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and attending major protest events – including the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and 2024 pro-Palestine encampments – even after his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2017 and multiple COVID-related hospitalizations. Since his passing, Jackson has been eulogized by a host of prominent political figures, including Donald Trump, Curtis Sliwa, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the Clintons, Reverends William J. Barber and Al Sharpton, the descendents of Martin Luther King, longtime Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa among many others. Like Ralph Nader, Jackson remained a leading light of the American Left during its lowest ebb in modern history. He followed his own iconic exhortation to “keep hope alive.” The least we can do is to carry on this legacy.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Visit Osprey publishing to see their incredible catalogue of military history books - https://www.ospreypublishing.com Britain has a Royal Navy. A Royal Air Force. And yet… a British Army. Not a Royal Army. Why? If you've ever tried to find a clear answer, you'll know how unsatisfying the usual explanations are. Tradition. Regiments. Legal technicalities. All true - and all incomplete. The full reason lies far deeper, in a violent and deeply uncomfortable chapter of British history. To find it, you have to rewind nearly four hundred years, to the English Civil War - a moment when England experimented with something new, dangerous, and unprecedented. This episode follows that experiment as it spirals out of control: the first redcoats, armies choosing sides, kings losing authority, and politicians learning lessons the hard way.

Send us a textThe Battle of Britain was one of the most unique and decisive battles in history. Fought almost entirely in the air, the defeat of Britain's Royal Air Force would have opened the door to an invasion of Britain and the total subjugation of western Europe under the Swastika. Fortunately, the British defenders prevailed in what is remembered as their finest hour but while much is discussed about the battle for the skies, less is known about the efforts made to actually carry out the invasion had the German Luftwaffe won the Battle of Britain. This is the story of the trials and tribulations of the German preparations for Operation Sea Lion; the invasion of Britain. Welcome to Wars of the World.Support the show

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take a look at the preparation for the Japanese invasion of Malaya in December 1941. The guys dig into the Japanese outlook on the region, the reasons for invasion, as well as the invasion plans. Digging into the personalities involved, Jon dishes out the goods on Brooke-Popham, Percival, Yamashita and others. A fascinating discussion on the Japanese plan of attack and lack of British preparedness (and why that was) follows. Dig into this one as we set up the greatest disaster in British military history. #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack #salvaged #medalofhonor #british #raf #royalairforce

Dot weiß nicht, was in letzter Zeit mit ihrem Sohn Stephen los ist. Noch vor ein paar Monaten war der 18-Jährige akademischer Überflieger in der Schule, beliebt bei den Mädchen und auf dem besten Weg, eine Karriere bei der Royal Air Force zu machen. Jetzt sitzt er apathisch am Esstisch. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit hat Stephen die Schule abgebrochen, sich von Freund:innen zurückgezogen und verbringt seine Tage fast nur noch vor dem Fernseher. Die Antidepressiva, die ihm verschrieben wurden, scheinen nicht zu helfen. Für seine Mutter ist das ein beängstigendes Rätsel. Vier Jahre zuvor, 1990, steht in Deutschland die Tierärztin Dr. Margrit Herbst vor einem anderen Rätsel. Was sie damals auf den Schlachthöfen in Schleswig-Holstein beobachtet, scheint zunächst unbedeutend, entwickelt sich aber zu einem Puzzleteil in einem Skandal, der Jahre später auch für Familien wie die von Stephen tödliche Konsequenzen haben wird. In dieser Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ geht es um Menschen, die sich plötzlich verändern, um rätselhafte Aussetzer und um eine Frau, die einem internationalen Skandal auf die Spur kommt. Wir erzählen, wie eine englische Familie und eine deutsche Whistleblowerin darum kämpfen, dass die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt. Expert:innen in dieser Folge: Dr. Christine Fast, Fachtierärztin für Pathologie, Laborleiterin am Institut für neue und neuartige Tierseuchenerreger vom Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in Greifswald; Dr. Peter Hermann, stellvertretender ärztlicher Leiter des Nationalen Referenzzentrum für Transmissible Spongiforme Enzephalopathien in Göttingen **Credit** Produzentinnen/ Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Emeli Glaser Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: Abel und Kollegen **Quellen (Auswahl)** Philip Yam: The Pathological Protein - Mad Cow, Chronic Wasting, and other deadly Prion Diseases Deutschlandfunk: https://t1p.de/h0y5n Spiegel: https://t1p.de/pk61n BBC News: https://t1p.de/jmst4 Stern: https://t1p.de/e4r5x **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

In this episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby Sanderson dives into the icy depths of cold water immersion. Is it really as good for our health as it's made out to be? From ice baths to open-water swims, cold water therapy has become a wellness trend, but what does the science actually say? To find out, Gabby speaks with one of the world's leading experts in extreme physiology: Professor Mike Tipton. During their conversation, Professor Tipton explains the body's physiological responses to cold water — including the critical cold shock response — and explores the potential mental health benefits of cold water therapy. They discuss breathwork, safety considerations, and the current scientific understanding of the risks and rewards of this increasingly popular practice. Throughout the discussion, Professor Tipton emphasizes the importance of a balanced view, noting the anecdotal nature of many claims and the need for further research. Whether listeners are curious about ice baths, cold plunges, or wild swimming, this episode offers a clear, evidence-based look at why cold water therapy has captured so much attention. By the end, Gabby and Professor Tipton leave listeners with practical insights and thoughtful guidance on how to approach cold water immersion safely and effectively. Professor Tipton has worked at the Universities of London, Surrey, and Portsmouth. He is a visiting professor at King's College London and SETU Waterford in Ireland. From 1996 to 2004, he served as Consultant Head of the Environmental Medicine Division at the Institute of Naval Medicine. He has published over 850 scientific books, papers, reports, and abstracts on drowning, thermoregulation, environmental and occupational physiology, and survival at sea. He was a Trustee/Director of Surf Lifesaving GB and is currently a member of the Council of the RNLI, as well as a Consultant to the RNLI's Medical Director. Professor Tipton has also served as a consultant in survival and thermal medicine to the Royal Air Force, UK Sport, and the English Institute of Sport. He is Chair of the National Water Safety Forum (nationalwatersafety.org.uk) and of Water Safety England. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, and a Fellow, Trustee, and President-elect of The Physiological Society (physoc.org). He was awarded his MBE for services to physiological research in extreme environments; the Ireland Medal for saving lives from drowning worldwide; and the H&L Swiftwater rescue lifetime achievement award from the USA.

Grant Newsham  Japan chooses a new PM. When China Attacks is a fire bell in the night—a warning about a war that we are already losing. It offers a frightening, and well-founded, blow-by-blow account of what might happen next. China poses an existential threat to America, warns a veteran intelligence officer, and the window for an effective response is closing fast. Col. Grant Newsham, a former reserve head of intelligence for Marine Forces Pacific, delivers a blow-by-blow account of how the threat has developed, from the growing skill and belligerence of the Chinese military to gray-zone campaigns to hollow out America's will to resist. These efforts that have now reached fruition. You can see the war damage in Baltimore, Erie, Buffalo, and countless other communities across the United States. With decades of experience in Asia, including as a U.S. Marine, a diplomat, and an executive with Morgan Stanley and Motorola in Japan, Col. Newsham brings together the military, political, economic and social to provide insights into how far along we already are, and what needs to be done. Now. The question is not whether the Chinese will attack. They already have. It is trying to kill our economy, our institutions, our way of life, our people. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master of intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. It is killing us with Fentanyl. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a mostly covert war on the United States and its allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and perceived decline, the war could soon explode into the open. The flashpoint will be Taiwan—but the war will extend over the entire Pacific Theater and beyond. The results—as Col. Newsham paints in stark detail—will be devastating. America risks a humiliating retreat, with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security. Will America fight back before the cold war that Communist China is waging against America and its allies goes hot? The conflict is coming. We're not ready. China is already attacking America. Is American defeat inevitable? No, but we must change course immediately. And to do that, we must wake up and heed the sobering message of When China Attacks.   1946 ROYAL AIR FORCE

This episode on Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt features the inspiring story of Dave Bolton, who shares his journey from a successful sports career and military service to overcoming life-altering challenges. Dave recounts his early achievements representing Great Britain in sports, his service in the Royal Air Force, and his transition to the police force, which was abruptly interrupted by a near-fatal motorbike accident. Despite severe injuries and a lengthy rehabilitation, Dave's determination saw him return to competitive sports, eventually becoming a world kickboxing champion—a testament to his resilience and the support of his family and medical team. Dave's life took another dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, later identified as glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. He describes the shock and emotional toll of the diagnosis, the grueling treatment process involving surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, and the psychological breakdown that followed. Throughout this period, Dave emphasizes the critical role of mental health support and the unwavering encouragement from his loved ones, which helped him persevere through the darkest moments of his illness. Motivated by his experiences, Dave founded the Ahead of the Game Foundation, dedicated to providing free physical, mental, and emotional rehabilitation for cancer patients and their families. The foundation offers a range of services, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared saunas, and cognitive therapy, and has grown to support hundreds of people worldwide. Dave's commitment to helping others is driven by his personal journey and his desire to offer hope and practical support to those facing similar battles. The audio also highlights Dave's ongoing health challenges and his proactive approach to mitigating the long-term effects of cancer treatment. He discusses the use of alternative therapies, such as red light therapy and nutrition, and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Dave's story is further enriched by his recent achievement of summiting a 5,000-meter peak, which he undertook to inspire others with glioblastoma and to demonstrate the power of resilience and a positive mindset. In conclusion, Dave reflects on the profound impact of cancer on his life and the lives of those around him, including the loss of his mother to ovarian cancer. He expresses deep gratitude for the opportunity to help others through his foundation, Head First, which provides vital resources and community support for cancer patients globally. Dave's journey underscores the importance of hope, community, and the relentless pursuit of well-being, offering inspiration to anyone facing adversity.Dave Bolton overcame a near-fatal motorbike accident and extensive rehabilitation to become a world kickboxing champion and later faced a diagnosis of aggressive brain cancer (glioblastoma).He endured surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and a severe psychological breakdown, emphasizing the importance of mental health and family support during his recovery.Motivated by his experiences, Dave founded the Ahead of the Game Foundation to provide free physical, mental, and emotional rehabilitation for cancer patients and their families worldwide.He advocates for alternative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and nutrition, which are often overlooked in traditional cancer care in the UK.Despite ongoing health challenges, Dave continues to inspire others through his foundation, public speaking, and personal achievements such as summiting a 5,000-meter peak.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

The plan was named Operation Cone of Power. Sounds militaristic. Possibly some kind of intelligence operation. Certainly had to be official. It was the summer of 1940 and Britain was bracing itself for a full-on invasion from German forces. A team of witches came together, lead by the Father of Witchcraft, Gerald Gardner, and worked their magick to push back against the Nazis. And as history documented, the Nazis never were able to invade Britain. Some may say it was the Luftwaffe's failure to defeat the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain that kept the Germans from taking Britain, but one really has to wonder, was it the witches? And what in the world did James Bond creator Ian Fleming have to do with all of this?

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present skeptical UFO researcher John Keeling, author of "LANDED! The Great British Flying Saucer Hoax & Other Extraterrestrial Spoofs." It asks some important questions: What would we do if aliens landed? Would we offer greetings? Would we panic? Or would we shoot to kill? In 1967, a maverick group of British students wanted to know. As apprentices at Farnborough's prestigious Royal Aircraft Establishment, they hatched an ingenious and audacious plot to test the authorities; landing multiple flying saucers across the width of England. Not only would "The Great Flying Saucer Hoax" challenge the Police, the Royal Air Force, the Army, and numerous government ministries, it also confronted Ufologists with the scenario they continuously prophesize (and claim to be prepared for). John's book also chronicles many other instances of extraterrestrial spoofing, to examine what such incidents might tell us about our hopes and fears of potential contact. After years of research, John does not embrace the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the phenomenon. John has written for The Fortean Times, and in addition to creating social media content for the East Anglian Astrophysical Research Organisation's proposed UK SETI project, is completing his next book. He lives on the Essex coast, close to his two daughters.

This episode delves into the high-stakes planning behind Operation Sea Lion, exploring how German military strategists grappled with the immense challenges of invading Britain in 1940. As the Luftwaffe battled for air superiority, the planners faced a critical dilemma: balancing the necessity of an invasion with the uncertain feasibility of achieving the required dominance over the Royal Air Force. Tensions mounted between the German Army and Navy staffs, who had to navigate logistical, tactical, and strategic uncertainties within a tight window of just a few months. With the fate of the invasion hinging on a single, precarious condition—air superiority—the episode reveals the complexity and risks of one of WWII's most pivotal decisions.
