From psychological operations to perception management, from limited hangouts to the “secret onion” model of secrecy, this episode reveals how our search for answers is being actively shaped, steered, and contained.But this isn't a story about villains. It's a call to responsibility. Kelly challenges listeners to reclaim their intellectual sovereignty, resist easy answers, and build discernment in an information landscape designed to confuse. Whether you're a skeptic, experiencer, journalist, or just UFO-curious, this talk will change how you see not just the phenomenon—but the stories we tell about it.Watch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cosmosis.PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yC TIMESTAMPS02:55 The Role of Intelligence in UFO Narratives07:42 The Complexity of Secrecy and Perception Management16:08 The Secret Onion: Layers of Deception26:35 The Scale and Impact of Institutionalized Secrecy37:31 Heroes, Villains, and Controlled Opposition45:58 The Power of Sincere Belief48:10 The Hero Trap in UFO Narratives50:47 Counterintelligence and Narrative Control54:14 The 80-20 Rule in Disinformation55:49 Limited Hangouts and Perception Management01:00:54 Character Assassination and Narrative Flooding01:08:03 The Weaponization of Belief01:14:50 Reclaiming Intellectual Sovereignty

There's a culture in law that no one really talks about. The culture of not asking. Not talking about money. Salary secrecy But this silence comes at a cost. It can create confusion. It can reinforce inequality. It can break trust. It can keep people stuck. Understanding your worth isn't just about numbers.It's about building a life that works for you.Staying in the dark isn't just disempowering.It's expensive.In this episode, I sit down with Jono Randell-Nash, ex lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers. Carla Hoppe, former corporate solicitor, ex- director of international tax and transaction services at EY and founder of WealthBrite, an award-winning financial education partner helping law firms build financially savvy lawyers.We explore the culture of salary secrecy in law firms, the widespread financial literacy gap across the legal industry, and the key questions lawyers should be asking to take control of their financial wellbeing.Find Carla here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlahoppe/ Find Jono here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jono-randell-nash/ More about Wealthbrite: https://www.wealthbrite.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

  As long as the United States is going to maintain immigration laws, it's a given that unauthorized people will be subject to arrest and deportation. This fact is not terribly controversial.

Understanding Why People Stay in Abusive RelationshipsBill Eddy and Megan Hunter return for their seventh season of It's All Your Fault to tackle a challenging but critical topic: why people stay in abusive relationships. Drawing from their extensive experience at the High Conflict Institute, they explore the complex psychological, financial, and social factors that make leaving difficult—even for those with resources and support networks.The Power of Coercive ControlThe episode delves into how coercive control operates in relationships, using the high-profile example of FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf. Bill and Megan examine how abusers use tactics like love bombing, isolation, and emotional manipulation to maintain power. They emphasize that this pattern appears not just in romantic relationships, but in workplaces, families, and elder care situations.Understanding Personality PatternsThe discussion explores how people with cluster B personality traits may engage in controlling behaviors. Bill and Megan carefully explain the connection between personality patterns and abusive behavior, while emphasizing that not everyone with these traits becomes abusive. They examine how cultural factors and early life experiences can influence the development of controlling behaviors.Breaking Free and Finding HelpThe hosts share practical advice for recognizing abuse and seeking help, highlighting the importance of self-talk and building support networks. They discuss how professionals and concerned individuals can better support those in abusive situations, emphasizing the need for careful investigation rather than quick dismissal of abuse claims.Questions we answer in this episode:Why do capable, independent people stay in abusive relationships?How does coercive control work in different types of relationships?What role do personality patterns play in abusive behavior?How can professionals better identify and help abuse victims?What are the first steps to breaking free from an abusive relationship?Key Takeaways:Abusive relationships often involve complex psychological manipulationFinancial and social factors can make leaving extremely difficultSelf-doubt and eroded self-esteem are common barriers to leavingSupport systems are crucial for helping people leave abusive situationsProfessional help and community awareness can make a significant differenceThis episode provides valuable insights for anyone trying to understand abusive relationships—whether personally affected or supporting others. Bill and Megan's expertise shines through as they offer practical guidance while maintaining sensitivity around this complex topic.Note: Content warning for discussions of domestic violence and abuse.

In this episode of the Unhooked Podcast, I interview Geoff Steurer, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 25 years of experience in dealing with sexual betrayal, compulsive sexual behavior, and addiction. Geoff is the creator of the Courageous Together program and the co-author of 'Love You, Hate the Porn.' We delve into the intricacies of overcoming betrayal trauma induced by pornography, the importance of full disclosure, and why traditional marriage counseling often fails in these scenarios. Geoff also explains the stages of healing and how couples can rebuild trust and intimacy. This conversation is filled with hope, accountability, and practical steps for everyone struggling with or supporting someone in recovery from compulsive behavior.

“I'm going to tell you a big bomb.”

Ben and Brent dive into the Maple Leafs' season-ending reflections and exit interviews. They begin by addressing how players downplayed the pressure of playing in Toronto. The conversation shifts to the first-year captain, who acknowledged an injury that troubled him all season but remained tight-lipped about details. They discuss whether the team could've managed the situation better and if the captain could've been at 100% for the playoffs. The duo also touches on Matthew Knies dismissing the idea of an offer sheet. They then welcome Sportsnet's Jason Bukala (25:13) to share insights on Auston Matthews' season and the broader challenges the team faces this offseason.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

From January 4, 2022: Government secrecy is pervasive when it comes to national security and foreign affairs, and it's becoming more and more common for state and even local governments to invoke government secrecy rationales that in the past, only the president of the United States and the national intelligence community were able to claim. While some of the secrecy is no doubt necessary to ensure that police investigations aren't compromised and state and local officials are getting candid advice from their staff, government secrecy directly threatens government transparency and thus democratic accountability. Alan Rozenshtein spoke about these issues with Christina Koningisor, a law professor at the University of Utah and the author of “Secrecy Creep” a recently published article in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, along with the Lawfare post summarizing her work.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Steve is a games user research consultant, helping teams use player insight to create successful games. He works with publishers, platforms and studios of all sizes to transform their game development process, and build product strategies that combines player data with creativity. He work from ideation to post-launch in order to de-risk game development, and make games players love.Prior to this he was a senior user researcher for PlayStation and worked on many of their top European titles, including Horizon Zero Dawn, SingStar, the LittleBigPlanet series and the PlayStation VR lineup.Steve started the Games User Research mentoring scheme, which has linked hundreds of students with industry professionals from top games companies such as Sony, EA, Valve, Ubisoft and Microsoft. He wrote the bestselling book How To Be A Games User Researcher to share the expertise needed to work in the games industry.He regularly speaks at games industry conferences and on podcasts about games user research + playtesting, and has been recognised as a member of BAFTA. He also wrote the bestselling book Building User Research Teams, and helps teams build impactful research practice in-house.In our conversation, we discuss:* The evolution of Steve's career from early days at PlayStation to running his own games UX consultancy.* The difference between research in games vs. traditional tech, especially around the lack of discovery work.* How to measure subjective experiences like “fun,” and why that starts by redefining what “fun” even means.* The influence of secrecy, creative ownership, and marketing pressure on research methods in the games industry.* Real-world methods used in games UX, like mass playtesting labs and segment-based multiplayer analysis.Some takeaways:* Research in games is heavily evaluative. Unlike traditional UX, which often starts with uncovering user needs, games UX usually kicks in once there's a playable prototype. Because the “user need” in games is often just “make it fun,” research is focused more on assessing emotional impact and usability than on early-stage exploration.* Measuring fun is both subjective and contextual. Teams often ask, “Is this fun?”—but that question is too broad to act on. Steve explains that researchers must first help define what kind of fun is intended, whether that's emotional engagement, replay behavior, or challenge. Only then can appropriate metrics or qualitative signals be applied.* Creative ownership adds complexity to stakeholder management. Games are seen as artistic work. Designers may be deeply emotionally invested in their ideas, which can make it harder to embrace critical feedback. This makes relationship-building, empathy, and framing feedback constructively especially important in games UX.* Secrecy shapes everything, from methods to sampling. Due to high financial stakes and aggressive marketing timelines, games researchers often can't test publicly. This leads to lab-based studies with high participant control. Mass playtesting labs (20–80 people at once) are common for running controlled, large-scale tests without leaking content.* Toxicity and matchmaking need research too. Games with multiplayer or social components must test how players interact, especially when strangers are thrown together online. Teams look at voice/chat features, segmentation by playstyle, and matchmaking fairness to reduce toxicity and create balanced experiences.Where to find Steve:* Website* LinkedIn* Twitter/X* BlueSkyInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

In recent days, a bombshell NewsNation's special, "Hunting UFOs: The Desert Sky Mystery," hosted by Ross Coulthart, told the story of Border Patrol agent Bob Thompson and his claims of anomalous aerial sightings along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, while the program presented the story as being "the first time" Thompson had come forward, that's not quite the case...  Also in this week's installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into the intriguing revelations involving Matthew Brown, who has been revealed as the whistleblower behind claims involving a secret program allegedly called Immaculate Constellation. We dive into Brown's descriptions of internal U.S. government transcripts, secret files, and philosophical concerns about government deception, all of which offer new insights, but also raise a few red flags regarding one of the UAP  research community's latest and most compelling controversies.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

This week, 133 cardinals from around the world will gather at the Sistine Chapel to vote for the next pope. This event, known as the Conclave (a term popularized by the Oscar-winning movie of the same name), is steeped in tradition and secrecy. Only the voting cardinals know what takes place inside the chapel. Mary FioRito, a senior fellow at the Catholic Association, explains the process of selecting a new pope and what the Catholic Church seeks in this selection. President Trump has yet to close trade deals with other countries, but the administration reports that negotiations are underway. Additionally, after pulling federal funding from Harvard last month, the Trump administration has also halted any new federal grants to the university until White House demands are met. White House Senior Policy Strategist May Mailman joins the podcast to discuss the Trump administration's stance on federal funding for universities and what upcoming administration travels abroad could mean for trade talks.

Leslie Lee at the age of 58, is just beginning to explore what it truly means to be adopted. As a same-race adoptee, she was placed with her family at eight weeks old, according to the transcript she received from the agency (Louise Wise) that facilitated the adoption. For most of her life, she carried this part of her identity in silence—only sharing it with a select few friends and family members. Secrecy, and at times shame, shaped much of her experience.Today, she's married, a proud mother of two adult sons, and grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren. Professionally, she built a meaningful career as a human resource specialist, with over 23 years of experience in higher education. She also holds several professional certifications in her field.Outside of work, she's rediscovering her love for reading as a way to disconnect from the noise of current events. Leslie recently took up knitting—still a novice, but enjoying the learning process through both in-person and online lessons. This season of life is about learning what brings her peace, what pleases her, and what helps manage stress in healthy, fulfilling ways.She's honored to share space within the adoption constellation and to finally connect with a community that understands this journey—people who simply get her, just because.Music by Corey Quinn

Energy production is broken—and rebuilding it could unlock a new era of abundance. In this episode, we sit down with Isaiah Taylor, founder of Valor Atomics, to explore how cheap energy can reshape the world. Isaiah shares his family's history with the Manhattan Project, why nuclear innovation stalled in the West, and how Valor is building modular giga-sites to produce cleaner, cheaper energy at scale. We discuss how robotics, AI, and manufacturing are shifting cost curves, the future of energy demand, and why decentralization is key to national resilience. Isaiah also shares his thoughts on bitcoin, the dangers of regulatory bloat, and how restoring antifragility to America's legal system could unleash a new industrial boom.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontier→ Watch the video premiere of Bitcoin, Not Crypto: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:04 - Isaiah Taylor's Manhattan Project family history3:18 - Secrecy inside America's Secret City5:37 - Why America needs new Manhattan Projects today7:39 - How Valor Atomics is rethinking nuclear reactors10:01 - How a nuclear reactor really works13:38 - Why building reactors became a legal and talent problem16:59 - How AI is pushing investors toward hard tech18:59 - The future of energy: exponential demand and production21:46 - Why energy prices have been broken since the 1970s26:06 - Valor's giga-site model to transform energy markets30:27 - Could machines create an infinite energy feedback loop?33:57 - Humanity's mission: garden the universe36:19 - Will money still matter in a post-scarcity world?40:34 - How regulatory bloat crushed American industry48:10 - Why Isaiah Taylor is suing the Nuclear Regulatory CommissionWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Isaiah Taylor's Twitter: https://x.com/isaiah_p_taylor

It's not conspiracy — it's cover-up. From missing Epstein files and FBI exits to FOIA requests buried by both parties, today's episode unpacks the darkest corners of the Epstein scandal and asks: who's really being protected? Then, we flip the script on the media's “tariff turmoil” narrative to look at a political shift no one saw coming — Gen Z's growing love for Trump. With surging poll numbers, record youth approval, and a $9B budget showdown targeting NPR, PBS, and USAID, this might be the moment the old guard finally gets challenged. Secrecy, strategy, and seismic change — it's all here.

Everyone wants to know: who were the Johns? Epstein's black book remains locked away, and despite years of promises — from Trump to the FBI to Pam Bondi — the truth remains sealed. This explosive segment dives into the tangled mess of the Epstein investigation: FOIA requests stonewalled by both parties, top FBI brass forced out under suspicious circumstances, and a list of elite names — including a sitting CIA director — showing up in Epstein's post-conviction calendar. With Judicial Watch now suing for access and mounting pressure from Congress, the question remains: how deep does this go, and why is the truth still hidden? Strap in for a ride through power, corruption, and the biggest cover-up of our time.
