Guest host Ryan Wrecker continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Simmons, author of Oppenheimer's Demon, regarding nuclear event protocols and disaster readiness. Dr. Simmons explains immediate survival steps for those outside the direct blast zone, emphasizing the critical importance of shedding radiation-contaminated clothing, washing thoroughly with cold water, and sheltering in place for at least 24 to 48 hours rather than fleeing into gridlocked traffic. He highlights essential supplies to keep on hand, including non-perishable food, water, a transistor radio, cash, and basic medical supplies. Following the interview, Wrecker reflects on local power outages and humorously notes a key rule from post-apocalyptic fiction: keeping one's emergency supplies and preparations private to avoid becoming a target.

What happens when a massive data center project moves forward at unprecedented speed? In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise sits down with Eli Tan, New York Times reporter, to explore the scale, speed, and controversy surrounding Meta's massive data center project in Louisiana. Eli discusses how quickly the project moved from site selection to construction, why Louisiana was chosen, and the role of secrecy and NDAs in the development process. The conversation also examines community reactions, economic benefits, environmental concerns, and the growing tension between attracting major investments and maintaining public trust.

In Episode 347, a betrayed partner who recently ended a three-year relationship asks whether her former partner can genuinely recover after more than two decades of compulsive pornography use, high-risk sexual behaviors, drug-fueled acting out, and extensive secrecy and deception. Her central concern is not merely whether he can stop acting out, but whether someone who has spent years lying, denying, withholding, and creating an alternate sexual reality can ever become trustworthy. We explain that sexual betrayal often creates a uniquely profound injury because it strikes at the intimate agreements upon which a romantic relationship is built. The sexual behaviors are devastating, but the lying, gaslighting, and “secret sexual basement” can fracture a partner's entire sense of reality, leaving her questioning not only him, but her own judgment, worth, memories, and ability to trust herself.   We believe genuine recovery is absolutely possible, even after decades of addiction, but recovery cannot be reduced to simply stopping pornography or other sexual behaviors. Sobriety is the starting point, not the finish line. True recovery requires the addict to address the larger patterns surrounding addiction—secrecy, emotional immaturity, shame, reactivity, avoidance, entitlement, and disconnection—and replace them with honesty, vulnerability, empathy, accountability, and proactive transparency. In cases involving extensive deception and major unknowns, rebuilding may require a professionally facilitated disclosure process, appropriate verification, daily transparency, consistent recovery work, and the addict taking the lead rather than forcing his partner to drag him through the process. Trust should therefore return gradually and in proportion to sustained evidence, not promises, apologies, or short periods of sobriety.   Finally, the fact that recovery and restored trust are possible does not mean every relationship should or will survive. Sometimes the accumulated damage is simply too great, and the betrayed partner must assess not only his capacity to change, but her own capacity, boundaries, needs, and willingness to participate in rebuilding something she did not destroy. She also does not need to remain in an unhealthy relationship because she fears he might someday recover and become a better partner for someone else. Love and desire alone are not enough; compatibility, capacity, emotional maturity, and consistent action all matter. The goal is not to recreate the pre-betrayal relationship, because that relationship can never simply be restored. The real question is whether both people can build something new—one grounded in truth, healthy boundaries, sustained recovery, safety, and authentic connectionFor a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   Can my Partner with 2 Decades of Porn Use & Years of Secrecy & Lying Genuinely Recover?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

In Episode 222 of Masonic Muscle: The Origin War, we investigate Frederick W. Seal-Coon's Conspiracy to Fellowship Theory, published in Ars Quatuor Coronatorum in 1979.Seal-Coon proposed that some early English Masonic gatherings may have provided discreet association for Royalists during the political turmoil of the seventeenth century—and that after the Restoration of Charles II, their purpose may have shifted toward fellowship, unity and sociability.But a compelling story is not the same thing as demonstrated history.We examine four important witnesses:• Elias Ashmole• Randle Holme III• Robert Plot• John AubreyAnd we apply a simple investigative test:DOCUMENTED. INFERRED. SPECULATIVE.What do the surviving records actually establish?Where does historical interpretation begin?And where might a theory be asking the evidence to carry more than it can support?No verdicts.The purpose of Campaign Two is to give every theory its strongest hearing, expose the difficult questions, and let you investigate the evidence for yourself.SOURCE USEDFrederick W.

It's a question that's probably been asked in some form for thousands of years: what defines cheating in a romantic relationship? A new survey finds that 1 in 7 partnered Americans have romantic feelings for someone else. But with definitions around infidelity being so unclear, many might not consider their feelings to be true cheating. Deseret News family reporter Lois Collins chimes in with more on the research.

Spiritual abuse doesn't begin with one bad person. It grows through a culture of approval, secrecy, fear, and loyalty that slowly teaches people to stay quiet, play along, and mistake control for faithfulness. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford break down the eight phases of a power-through-fear church and contrast them with the kind of community Jesus actually builds - a pocket of tov, where goodness, wholeness, and courage can exist without hype or performance.If you'd like to support the work at VOXOLOGY, and join us next month for the book club, you can join here: https://www.patreon.com/c/voxology/postsIf you're interested in Spiritual Coaching, you can email tim@voxpodcast.comTimestamps00:00 - Opening banter, kids back in school, and community updates02:01 - Spiritual coaching and the Patreon book club announcement03:49 - Frustration with corruption, outrage fatigue, and local engagement09:31 - Refugees in Tennessee and creating pockets of hope12:08 - A listener asks if introversion is sinful14:54 - Quiet time as formation for community, not a spiritual end point17:24 - Why introverts can still be harmed by solitude without structure18:38 - Why spiritual disciplines need purpose, framework, and discernment21:50 - Spiritual abuse is a culture, not just a bad person24:48 - Step one: power concentrated in one person26:14 - Insider approval, status enhancement, and filtered influence28:09 - Outsiders, status degradation, and fear of disapproval30:04 - Secrecy, image management, and what happens behind the wall32:59 - Banishment, loyalty tests, and being expelled from the circle34:29 - How church culture also shapes who gets seen as a leader36:34 - Compassion and empathy as the first marks of a healthy culture38:30 - Grace, failure tolerance, and hierarchy as responsibility41:25 - A bottom-shaped triangle: leadership exists for the community45:17 - Putting people ahead of the institution47:39 - Truth telling, confession, and why churches avoid self-exposure50:25 - Justice over loyalty culture and the misuse of Matthew 1852:26 - Power dispersed, not accumulated54:25 - Service over celebrity and power-under leadership56:18 - Overperforming, underperforming, and leaders inserting themselves between God and people58:08 - What heroes a culture celebrates and why ordinary faithfulness matters61:27 - How do you build a healthy church in a hype-driven world?62:55 - Practices of resistance: no hype language, no sermon-series hype machine65:42 - The woman caught in adultery as a model of calm, teaching, and restoration69:03 - Christ-likeness over leadership culture and the CEO model of church72:12 - Richard Foster's marks of spiritual power: love, humility, self-limitation, joy, vulnerability, submission, freedom73:11 - Mike's daughter testifies in a stalking case and the cost of being believed77:31 - Why he stays in an organized church and what a healthy community can look like80:33 - Why people won't stay just for hype, and the need for pockets of tove81:53 - Building boring, sustainable, life-giving communityAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

What role do intelligence services play under a president that does not heed their advice? That's one of the questions Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Tim Weiner posits in his most recent book, The Mission, which details how the modern Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has evolved during the era of the global war on terror. Weiner describes the evolution of the missions undertaken by the CIA, which were historically driven by presidential desires to change the world through covert action, and contrasts them with the post-Cold War agency that grapples with trust and reputation in the information era. Weiner also discusses how the delicate interplay between betrayal and trust underwrites intelligence work, the common aim of pursuing secrets that intelligence and journalism share, and why he believes the cumulative effects of partisan purges within intelligence services under President Donald Trump leaves the United States in a dire state of danger. Sir Richard Dearlove and guest co-host Rosanna Lockwood dive into the news stories in geopolitics shaping the world this week: how a secret CIA task force in Cuba may be laying the groundwork for a more American-friendly government, why the construction of a new giant embassy for China is igniting political NIMBY-ism in London, and what US intelligence says about how stray Russian missiles and drones may be Putin's way of testing NATO's resolve.  (03:07) Secret CIA Cuba Task Force (07:24) New Chinese Embassy in London (12:31) Will Putin Test NATO's Resolve?

In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark Verkler and Carolyn Dunegan explore the progression of addiction—from recreational use to problematic use, dependence, and addiction. Drawing from decades of experience in chemical dependency treatment, Carolyn explains how addiction affects relationships, identity, priorities, and spiritual life.They discuss denial, comparison, isolation, secrecy, withdrawal, and why recovery requires community, humility, honesty, and bringing what is hidden “into the light.” From a Christian perspective, they explore how addiction can become a stronghold that competes with relationships, community, and allegiance to God.The episode also offers practical guidance for anyone concerned about their own substance use or the addiction of someone they love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction01:29 — The Stages of Addiction03:32 — Recreational vs. Problematic Use06:23 — Emotional & Physical Dependence08:20 — Relational Consequences10:06 — How Addiction Changes Your Social Life12:44 — When the Substance Becomes a Relationship14:01 — Addiction as an Idol16:24 — The Double Life of Addiction18:18 — Why Functioning Doesn't Mean Healthy19:12 — Denial & Comparison22:12 — The Absence of Consequences Isn't Permission23:39 — The Later Stages of Addiction26:23 — Isolation & Addiction27:43 — Understanding Withdrawal29:08 — What Early Sobriety Feels Like30:19 — Why Community Matters31:06 — Why Therapy Alone May Not Be Enough32:19 — Secrecy, Shame & Control35:00 — Coming Into the Light35:27 — 1 John 1 & Walking in the Light36:20 — Honesty, Humility & Recovery40:14 — Isolation, Pride & Being Known41:20 — The Brutality of Addiction's End Stages43:11 — The First Step Toward Recovery45:06 — Next Episode: Addiction & the Family47:23 — Humility, Grace & Freedom48:08 — ClosingFor counseling and resources: samaritanswell.comFree Guide: Christian Emotional Health Guidehttps://samaritanswell.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/Christian-Emotional-Health-GuideConnect with Samaritan's Well:Instagram: @samaritanswellFacebook: @samaritanswelldallasLinkedIn: Samaritan's Well CounselingTikTok: @samaritanswellcounseling#SoulSense #AddictionRecovery #ChristianCounseling #Recovery #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth

Traitors AU Season 3 Eps 3+4 Recap Also available on YouTube. The We Know Traitors podcast is back as Pooya, The Duke of Deception, and Annabel Fidler dig into episodes 3 and 4 of Traitors Australia Season 3. With the gameplay getting sharper, big alliances clashing, and emotions running high, this recap zeroes in on the tension surrounding major banishments and the shifting power moves within the castle. Early on, Annabel shares her frustration over the treatment of Kirby and how quickly things swing from one player to another, while Pooya marvels at the unpredictability of who is truly in danger. The two dissect how the "LSD" alliance (Loyalty, Secrecy, Discipline—at least in theory) is falling apart at the seams, with Dicko's overt leadership style putting a target on his back and the twins' lack of chill firing up enemies. The hosts also break down the awkward and brutal rejection of Cam (twice) by the remaining players, the emotional impact of Henry's ruthlessness, and the fallout from the banishments of Cosima and Henry, both triggered by naming power players and alliance dynamics rather than solid evidence. Main discussion threads include Kirby's mindset after surviving repeated targeting, the rising player revolt against Dicko's open gang tactics, complicated feuds among the faithfuls, and whether traitors are about to start turning against each other too soon. Side conversations showcase lighter moments, ike the chaos around Gamble's vote spelling, and the strategic debates about when to stay loyal, when to pile on, and who's got the best cover to get further in the game. Highlights from the podcast include: The group's open rejection of Cam and the rare on-screen decision to refuse a player twice Henry's risky strategy naming three suspects and the twins' fierce reaction to being accused Dicko's bold, unapologetic alliance-building, drawing both admiration and ire The twins' and LSD's struggle to keep their bloc secret, leading to fractures and new counter-alliances The shifting targets as Rachael is isolated, internal alliances turn, and the faithfuls look to break LSD's control With big personalities clashing and gameplay moving at a fast pace, alliances crack open and nobody's path to the end feels safe. Does Kirby's survivor paranoia help or hurt her? Will Dicko's group finally face serious blowback, and can anyone manage the growing chaos among the faithfuls?

Memory, Secrecy, and Sisterhood in Juliet Faithful's Liar's DiceToday on Salt Lake Dirt, Kyler sits down with author Juliet Faithfull to discuss her novel Liar's Dice. Set against the backdrop of 1970s Brazil under a military dictatorship, the story follows identical twin sisters Dolores and Mita, who grow up in a rural village. After Mita develops disabilities around age seven, she is abruptly sent away to an institution—a common practice of the era that left families shrouded in silent grief and shame. Driven by a desperate determination to find her sister, 12-year-old Dolores embarks on a quest that requires her to confront her family's denial and overcome her own illiteracy so she can write to Mita. Faithful draws on her own childhood experiences to parallel the family's buried trauma with the broader political climate of censorship, state lies, and resistance in Brazil. During their discussion, Faithful reflected on her long journey toward finishing the book, which was developed over two decades while balancing her career as a therapist and raising two children. She shared how writing the dual timelines was both emotionally challenging and deeply essential, forcing her to confront themes of hidden identity, literacy, and truth-telling. Faithful also explained the origin of the title Liar's Dice, referencing a poker-like game of chance and deception that mirrors the secrecy surrounding the family, government censorship, and Dolores's own quiet rebellions. Readers looking to explore this moving novel can find copies through major booksellers or connect with the author for book club visits at julietfaithful.com. ---Episode Links:Purchase Liar's DiceJulietFaithfull.com

Jesus reminded His hearers that the kingdom of God often advances in ways that are quiet, gradual, and hidden from human eyes. In this parable, He teaches that while we are responsible to sow the seed faithfully, only God can produce the mysterious miracle of spiritual growth.

Secrecy and denial can quietly erode trust, intimacy, and connection in a marriage. But healing begins when what has been hidden is brought into the light with honesty, humility, and courage. In this episode, Tyler Chinchen explores what true repentance looks like beyond simply admitting wrongs. We discuss the difference between disclosure that harms and honesty that heals, the fruits of genuine change, and how couples can move toward safety and restoration. Through community, accountability, and God's grace, this conversation offers hope for breaking free from denial and rebuilding what has been broken.

Andy is joined by Jonathan Caplan KC, one of the UK's leading criminal barristers and the author of Not for Disclosure: UFOs, The World's Best-Kept Secret.Drawing on five decades of interest in the subject, Jonathan explains why he believes the UFO phenomenon is real, why governments have kept it hidden and why, in his view, the evidence could meet the criminal standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt.The conversation covers the alleged 1994 craft landing in Russia, Britain's historic relationship with the United States on UFO matters, Five Eyes, Majestic 12, Rendlesham Forest, private defence contractors, intimidation of insiders and the limits of the current disclosure process. Jonathan also explains why he believes the phenomenon may involve several different forms of non-human intelligence, rather than a single extraterrestrial source.A wide-ranging discussion about evidence, secrecy, national security and what governments may still be withholding from the public.Get the book - https://amzn.eu/d/00p8uJdK

Professor Julian Wamble kicks off Critical Magic Theory's summer series by unpacking the Ministry of Magic through Half-Blood Prince's opening chapter, "The Other Minister." Starting with Hagrid's offhand line to Harry about what the Ministry actually does- keep magic hidden from Muggles- Wamble traces how that founding logic hardens into structural wizarding superiority, encoded in the Trace, the Statute of Secrecy, and departments like Arthur Weasley's Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office.The episode centers on wizarding victimhood ideology: how historical persecution justifies ongoing anti-Muggle sentiment long after the threat has passed, while pure-blood supremacy against Muggle-borns operates on the exact same bias, aimed inward instead of outward. Wamble argues the Muggle-Born Registration Commission wasn't a rupture from Ministry policy but a natural escalation of infrastructure already in place.

British nuclear testing took place on the Monte Bello islands, 100 kilometres off the Pilbara coast, in June 1956 with the then Menzies' government's obsequious compliance.

What happens, at a psychological level, when a person develops a close relationship with AI? Can AI love them back? And what does this attachment reveal about human desire, projection and responsibility?A groundbreaking study into the ethical and psychological implications of human-AI relationships, AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis by Dr Agnieszka Piotrowska, academic, writer and filmmaker – addresses the hugely topical, but hardly new, question of our emotional bonds with machines.To find out more about this I caught up with Dr Agnieszka Piotrowska when she was recently in Dublin.Agnieszka talks about her background, her new book, Freud, AI models and more.About Agnieszka Piotrowska:Agnieszka Piotrowska, PhD, is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, trained psychologist, and psychoanalytic life coach. She is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and supervises doctoral students at Oxford Brookes University and the University of Staffordshire.

This week, Molly is revisiting an important episode about drinking alone, drinking secrecy, and what these behaviors may reveal about your relationship with alcohol.Drinking alone does not automatically mean you have a problem. But when drinking becomes automatic, emotionally driven, or hidden, it is worth getting curious.In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores how these patterns can reinforce alcohol habits, why honest tracking matters, and how to interrupt the cycle without shame or all-or-nothing thinking.You'll learn:Why drinking alone is not the same as having alcohol use disorderWhat subtle drinking secrecy can look likeHow emotional relief strengthens the habit loopSimple ways to create more awareness and choiceThe goal is not perfection. It is noticing the pattern and choosing one small step toward a more peaceful relationship with alcohol.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

For two decades, Miranda Spivak covered government and land-use fights for the Washington Post. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on how local governments avoid scrutiny, why wealthy landowners and developers often get a pass on the rules, and how the boom in data center construction is reshaping communities with little public input.Miranda explains what she calls the "secrecy industrial complex" — the web of closed-door deals, vague public notices, and bureaucratic friction that keeps ordinary residents from knowing what's happening in their own backyards. She also talks about the collapse of local news coverage, why that decline directly correlates with less civic participation, and what "accidental activists" look like when they discover a project that will change their community forever.Topics covered:Miranda's career investigating government secrecy at the Washington PostHow the decline of local news enables corruption and disengagementWealthy landowners and developers dodging zoning and environmental rulesThe data center boom and its environmental costsHow communities organize and fight back — and what "doing it right" looks likeWhy supporting local journalism matters for democracyMiranda is the author of Backroom Deals in Our Backyards (The New Press).Backroom Deals | SubstackBackroom Deals in Our Backyards - The New PressMiranda Spivack | WebpageBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:ZJZ Designs - Friendly and NostalgicCheck out ZJZ Designs now for original and nostalgic prints!ZJZ DesignsCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

We are recording from a brand-new space, and we have a very specific, mandatory homework assignment for you: Go watch the film The Invite.In this episode—part one of a multi-part deep dive—Lauren and Trey break down a cinematic masterpiece that had them squeezing each other's legs, cackling out loud, and talking straight through dinner on one of their top ten date nights of all time. With renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel serving as the film's consultant, The Invite is a masterclass in tension, long-term marital fatigue, and the boundary lines of modern desire.Key Takeaways:The Trope of the Therapist-Patient Romance: Penélope Cruz's character is a therapist dating her former patient (Edward Norton). Lauren unpacks why this highly eroticized trope is actually a massive clinical, ethical violation, discussing hierarchies of power, projection, and why AASECT enforces strict timeframes of up to 10 years before any such crossover can occur.The Liar vs. The Lie Invitee: Trey maps out how the married couple in the film operates entirely on "honesty when convenient." Lauren breaks down how partners routinely tell white lies to remain chosen, proving that the liar hides the truth because they can't handle their partner's reaction, while the "lie invitee" secretly plays along because they can't handle their own emotional response to the truth.Secrecy vs. Privacy: Where is the boundary line? Lauren defines a secret as the willful withholding of information that your partner has a direct right to in order to make informed decisions. Privacy, however, is a healthy boundary, like your personal fantasy life, solo sex practice, or your pin code, which does not affect the physical or emotional well-being of your spouse."Would You F*ck Yourself?": Directly addressing Esther Perel's famous clinical question, Lauren discusses why cultivating your own individual desirability, self-worth, and "fuckability" is entirely your job, not your partner's.If you are tired of surviving on relational crumbs and are ready to dismantle the "liar/lie invitee" patterns in your dynamic, let's build a stronger, more honest relational container together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

Most secrets don't stay secret because they're powerful. They stay secret because we're terrified of what would happen if they were exposed. Justin and Trisha Davis share the aftermath of a marriage crisis and the hidden weight of betrayal trauma. Sometimes healing begins when hiding becomes more painful than telling the truth.

Canada's Access to Information Act was supposed to give Canadians a window into their government. But more than 40 years later, critics say the system is failing — with delays, redactions, and a culture of secrecy.

Jason Samosa joins me for part one of a huge conversation tracing the UFO topic from the post-war era through Roswell, Cold War secrecy, private industry, religious influence, and the early roots of disclosure resistance.We discuss claims around Nazi technology, Operation Paperclip, why the post-World War II national security state created the perfect conditions for secrecy, what Roswell may represent in the wider story, and whether UFO secrecy was ever as simple as “the government knows aliens are real.”Jason also explains why the modern disclosure debate may involve more than classified files and recovered craft, with competing factions, private power, religious framing, and narrative control all playing a role.Part two continues with a deeper dive into the Collins Elite, demonic interpretations of the phenomenon, hybrids, TTSA, and the modern disclosure movement.https://www.youtube.com/@jason_samosa

Veteran journalist and author of “Backroom Deals in Our Backyards ” Miranda Spivack highlights the widespread issue of local government secrecy and the detrimental impact of non-disclosure agreements between public officials and private corporations. She details the stories of “accidental activists” who uncovered corruption involving toxic water, dangerous infrastructure, and flawed criminal justice algorithms. The discussion emphasizes how corporate trade secrets and data-driven policing often bypass public oversight, harming community safety. Spivack encourages citizens to bypass information blockades through persistent investigation, civic engagement, and community organizing to demand transparency and monitor their local governments before crises occur.
