On the second virtue of Secrecy

Secret reports and post game! Turns out there's more meat on this bone than we initially planned for.

We all have the instinct to distract ourselves from present-moment discomfort, whether we consider ourselves an addict or not. That insight is a powerful starting point for today's conversation on the role yoga can play in addiction recovery.  Host Rachel is joined by returning guest Caroline Wybar—yoga teacher and trainer, and 1000hr Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist. Drawing from both lived experience and extensive research, Caroline shares a compassionate and evidence-informed perspective on addiction and recovery. She explores the many factors that contribute to addiction and shares how yoga can support recovery by helping practitioners develop self-awareness, resilience, distress tolerance, and a healthier relationship with the present moment. "We all experience pain and distress and loss and disconnection. We just have different solutions for it." — Caroline Wybar. — What You'll Learn: Defining addiction, clinically versus culturally [2:27] Addiction as a solution to pain [4:34] Disease or personal choice?

But there is a massive difference between necessary discretion and the dangerous habit of hiding the truth. The temptation to conceal our actions almost always begins small—a little compromise here, a minor omission there—until it grows into a binding habit.​Scripture warns us that the enemy thrives in darkness; the urge to hide is deeply tied to cloaking sinful behavior. The great deception of secrecy is that the very enemy who whispers, "Keep this a secret," is the same one who will eventually expose you to maximize your shame.​The truth is ironclad: there are no secrets. God sees every hidden corner of our lives. As Hebrews 4:13 reminds us, "all things are naked and exposed before His eyes," and Numbers 32:23 guarantees that "your sin will find you out." Keeping secrets is a trap that never ends well because deception lives at its core. Don't live in the shadows. Choose the freedom of a clean, simple, and pure life lived openly in the light of God. Doing so will ensure a peaceful life."A quiet conscience makes one strong." - Anne Frank

In this episode of Careers Over Beers, I sit down with environmental health and safety experts Kristen Meghan Kelly and Tammy K. Clark to discuss the rapid expansion of AI and hyperscale data centers into small communities across America.We examine who is driving these projects, the enormous financial interests involved, how land acquisition and permitting processes often unfold outside of public view, and why many local residents feel they are learning about projects only after critical decisions have already been made.Kristen and Tammy bring decades of experience in occupational, environmental, and industrial health and safety. Kristen is an Air Force veteran, a whistleblower, senior industrial hygienist, and environmental specialist with more than two decades of experience evaluating environmental and public health risks. Tammy is an OSHA environmental health and safety professional, expert witness, and industrial safety specialist with more than 20 years of experience in occupational and environmental health.In this special episode we discuss:• AI and hyperscale data center expansion• Water consumption and impacts on local resources• Noise, light pollution, and quality-of-life concerns• Potential impacts on agriculture and livestock• Power demands and infrastructure challenges• Community organizing and citizen opposition efforts• Cases where residents successfully influenced project outcomes• Alternative technologies and approaches that could reduce environmental impacts• Western Sedgwick CountyWhether you're hearing rumors of a proposed data center in your town or simply want to understand the infrastructure powering the AI revolution, this conversation offers a perspective rarely covered in mainstream discussions.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with software engineer and entrepreneur Arowolo Muritadhor for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from agriculture and manufacturing in Nigeria to the evolving role of crypto in the country's economy. They touch on how hyperinflation, particularly the naira's dramatic drop in 2023, pushed Nigerians toward stablecoins as a practical savings tool, and how informal kiosk networks have stepped in where traditional banking infrastructure falls short. The conversation also covers the tension between government regulation and the permissionless nature of blockchain technology, comparisons between the decline of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic dominance, the role of mobile payments in Africa, language learning, and whether AI agents have any real utility in crypto infrastructure yet. You can connect with Arowolo on LinkedIn and X at @armolas_06.Timestamps00:00 - Host welcomes Arowolo Muritadhor, introducing topics of software engineering and animal food production in Nigeria.05:00 - Discussion shifts to manufacturing, components assembly, and China's dominance in low-cost production globally.10:00 - Conversation explores crypto adoption in Nigeria as a network state phenomenon, separating informed users from mainstream population.15:00 - Mobile payments and kiosk ATM replacements emerge as critical financial infrastructure bridging unbanked Nigerians.20:00 - Roman Empire parallels drawn to modern crypto taxation, government control, and inevitable death-and-taxes reality.25:00 - Bitcoin and Ethereum permissionless nature debated against government wallet-level censorship vulnerabilities.30:00 - AI agents examined as crypto infrastructure tools, revealing mostly trading bots rather than foundational builders.35:00 - Nigeria's 2023 naira collapse compared to Argentina's hyperinflation, driving citizens toward stablecoin dollar savings.40:00 - US Treasury history unpacked through FDR gold confiscation and Nixon ending convertibility, paralleling empire decline.45:00 - Crypto reframed as anti-bank rather than purely anti-government, enabling freedom through immutable accountability.50:00 - Transparent blockchain ledgers discussed as potential government accountability tools across democracy, republic, and oligarchy structures.Key Insights1. Nigeria has a significant divide between its northern and southern regions in terms of economic activity. The north, centered around Abuja, is more agricultural with substantial cattle production, while Lagos in the south functions as a dense urban and commercial hub. This geographic and economic split shapes how different financial tools and technologies are adopted across the country.2. China's dominance in low-cost manufacturing has made it nearly impossible for countries like Nigeria, the United States, or Argentina to compete on price alone. The more realistic path for developing economies is to import components and focus on local assembly and creativity, which is where meaningful economic participation becomes possible.3. Crypto adoption in Nigeria accelerated dramatically around 2023 when the naira experienced a sharp devaluation against the US dollar. Before that point, saving in dollars was difficult for many Nigerians, especially those without formal bank accounts, making stablecoins like USDT an attractive and practical alternative for preserving wealth.4. Informal kiosk operators in Nigeria have organically become a substitute for ATMs, giving communities access to basic financial services where traditional banking infrastructure does not reach. This grassroots financial layer is now a key entry point for integrating crypto and stablecoin payments into everyday commerce.5. Governments are increasingly trying to regulate crypto at the wallet and centralized exchange level, using tax compliance as a primary mechanism. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain largely permissionless, the practical chokepoints for most users remain centralized platforms where identity and transactions can be monitored.6. The historical parallel between the fall of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic and geopolitical power offers a useful frame for understanding why crypto matters. Just as Rome debased its currency and struggled to sustain imperial costs, the US faces mounting debt and a financialized economy that may accelerate dollar instability and push more people toward alternative stores of value.7. One genuinely constructive use case for blockchain beyond speculation is immutable accountability, particularly for public institutions and prediction markets. A transparent ledger that governments or officials voluntarily adopt could create verifiable records of decisions and promises, reducing corruption and increasing trust in ways that traditional governance structures have struggled to achieve.

The fight for transparency over UFO and UAP disclosures may be entering a whole new phase. Today on Stinchfield, author Kent Heckenlively joins us with explosive claims about what could be coming next from President Trump. Heckenlively, co-author of the new book Catastrophic Disclosure, revealed sources close to President Trump are telling him a major executive order is now being prepared that will blow the lid off decades of secrecy surrounding UFO and UAP programs. According to Heckenlively, the order would reportedly nullify government NDAs tied to UFO and UAP research, allowing scientists, military contractors, and insiders to finally come forward without fear of prosecution. It would also reportedly create a pathway to immunity for individuals who may have violated laws while participating in secret programs tied to recovered craft, advanced technology, or hidden government operations. Heckenlively’s book is a deeply investigative look at what many believe is the Deep State’s role in hiding these programs for decades, while also examining whether the American people have been subjected to a long running government psy-op surrounding UFOs and UAPs. The battle inside government is now being waged between those pushing for “controlled disclosure” and those demanding “complete disclosure.” The claim from the controlled disclosure group is that the results could be "catastrophic" if decades of deception, secret programs, and hidden technology are exposed all at once. If true, this executive order would mark one of the biggest steps ever toward transparency in the UFO and UAP debate. The question is simple: What do they know, and is the Trump administration finally prepared to force the truth into the open?

Shine a light on it. The new bill will require releasing 232 reports and the rationale for tariffs. Listen for more on Two Minutes in Trade. 

Today on Stinchfield, the media is pushing fear over Ebola, but what’s the real story? Ebola is one of the deadliest viruses on earth, yet experts admit it is extremely difficult to spread. So why the sudden panic? Is this another pandemic-style fear campaign designed to funnel billions into vaccines, research grants, and government contracts? Or is there something even darker happening behind the scenes? Montana Senator Tim Sheehy is now demanding answers after alarming allegations surfaced that Ebola virus material may have been smuggled into an NIH lab in Hamilton, Montana. If true, who approved it, why was it brought here, and what are they really experimenting with? Joining us is Nicholas Hulscher from The Wellness Company to separate fact from fear, expose the real risks of Ebola, and explain whether Americans are once again being manipulated through panic and propaganda.

Parents often want to talk to their kids about puberty and periods, but many don't know where to start. In this episode, I'm joined by pediatric and adolescent gynecologist Dr. Charis Chambers to talk about how we can change the way families approach these conversations. From stigma and misinformation to the fear of saying the wrong thing, we break down why avoiding these discussions can leave kids confused, scared, or learning from the wrong sources. We discuss how to introduce puberty and body changes in age-appropriate ways, why boys should be included in these conversations, and how parents can shift from one awkward “talk” to an ongoing dialog that builds trust. Dr. Chambers also explains the science behind periods, addresses common misconceptions about hormonal therapy, and shares powerful stories from her clinical experience that highlight why this education matters for a child's long-term relationship with their body and health. In this episode we discuss: ✔️ Why many kids feel scared when their first period starts ✔️ How to start puberty conversations earlier and more naturally ✔️ Why boys should learn about periods too ✔️ The difference between privacy and secrecy when talking about bodies ✔️ How stigma around periods gets passed down through generations ✔️ Why hormonal therapy is often misunderstood ✔️ How open conversations build trust between parents and kids To connect with Dr. Charis Chambers follow her on Instagram @theperioddoctor, check out all her resources at https://theperioddoctor.com and buy her new book: https://www.amazon.com/Period-Puberty-Parenting-Revolution-Conversation/dp/1464233802?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn1W3WTCmZ7O5OBTdANGfFNf3Qt3tBhR3ysalxz3dPwNe50CLKDpwfK9vbRiY_aem_POnDC67y5COyXEaA3xsKVQ  00:00 Why Puberty and Period Talks Matter 02:16 Meet Dr. Charis Chambers and Her New Book 04:01 Why She Wrote The Puberty and Period Parenting Revolution 06:17 Why Kids Need to Learn About Bodies From Parents First 08:42 Is There Such a Thing as Talking Too Early About Puberty? 10:54 Why Boys Need to Be Part of Period Conversations Too 12:35 Privacy vs Secrecy, How Parents Can Normalize Periods 14:00 How Media and Shame Shape Period Stigma 18:40 Why This Needs to Be an Ongoing Conversation, Not One Talk 22:31 How to Explain Anatomy Without Making It Awkward 28:15 What Happens When Kids Are Left in the Dark About Periods 33:54 Hormonal Therapy vs Birth Control, What Parents Should Know 41:29 How to Build Trust When Parents Feel Nervous or Behind 45:05 What Dr. Charis Hopes This Book Changes for Families Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

What happens when magic is illegal, but survival depends on it?

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – Fear is contagious, and so is misinformation. The right response is neither complacency nor conspiracy.

Science is our best tool to contain this...

What does “true intimacy” actually mean—and why do so many couples feel disconnected even when they love each other? In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Raabsmith and Joanna Raabsmith, relationship experts and co-authors of Building True Intimacy, to unpack the deeper layers of connection most relationships are missing. We dive into their Intimacy Pyramid™ framework—a powerful model that explains why so many relationships struggle at the foundation and how couples can rebuild safety, trust, and emotional closeness from the ground up. From the tension between secrecy and privacy to the complicated realities of checking a partner's phone, this conversation gets honest about what actually builds (or breaks) trust. We also explore what happens after betrayal—and whether it's truly possible for a relationship to come back stronger. If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to rebuild closeness, this episode gives you a clear path forward.

Silicon Bites Ep328 | 2026-04-28 | Rule by secret decree: how Putin hid half his government from his own people. Inside the Russian Information Blackout. The full scale of the catastrophe of the Russian economy and governance has been hidden. It means the collapse, when it comes will be so much bigger than many suspect, including many people within the Russian system itself. Imagine a country where almost half of the orders signed by the head of state are classified. Where you can be arrested for breaking a law you are not allowed to read. Where the cause-of-death registers have been redacted to hide who is dying and why. Where the Land Registry has been classified to protect the dachas of officials, and where Members of Parliament have made it illegal for journalists to photograph them at work. The country is the Russian Federation, in 2026, and these are just a fraction of the secret information, rules and decrees.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

How can lives and things that are rendered invisible be crucial to identity, politics, and the future? Drawing on experimental ethnographic research in northeastern Estonia, this book offers vivid answers. The Future of Hiding: Secrecy, Infrastructure, and Ecological Memory in Estonia's Siberia (Cornell UP, 2025) analyzes the territorial dimensions of secrecy and how concealment occurs in relation to energy infrastructure and identity politics in eastern Estonia. It shows that secrets and hiding places are intrinsic to human affairs, while reconsidering the possibilities of relating ethnographically to what appears to be the extraneous. Francisco Martínez highlights how basements, garages, bunkers, holes, and cottages favor alternative forms of sociality, allowing local residents to redesign the terms of their public selves. Shadow spaces in this liminal region, at the border with Russia, are created against the institutional demand to be knowable. People engage in ordinary forms of ambivalence and refusal to negotiate a sense of loss and the consequences of a century of extractive activities. The Future of Hiding invites cross-disciplinary dialogue on topics like mining, transparency, belonging and cultural landscapes, offering insights into infrastructure's reproduction and destruction, recolonizations, and the ecological memory of a sacrificed area. Francisco Martínez is an anthropologist dealing with contemporary issues of material culture through ethnographic research. His work is known for its critical insights and experimental style. He was awarded with the Early Career Prize of the European Association of Social Anthropologists and currently works as a Ramón y Cajal Senior Research Fellow at the University of Murcia, Spain.

The pattern of internal management of serious allegations within the Duggar family is now documented across two generations. Josh Duggar's admitted abuse of his sisters was handled privately for years before becoming public. Joseph Duggar allegedly admitted to the conduct described in the arrest affidavit when confronted by the victim's father — and according to that affidavit, no contact was made with law enforcement until the father came forward approximately six years later. Authorities investigating Joseph's case reportedly discovered exterior-mounted locks on the couple's children's bedroom doors. A family spokesperson characterized the Arkansas charges as "totally unrelated" to the Florida case.Amy Duggar King, Jim Bob Duggar's niece and author of the memoir Holy Disruptor, provides a firsthand account of how information is controlled within the family circle. She describes a system in which loyalty required silence and any attempt to speak publicly was met with retaliation. Retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke applies behavioral analysis to the family's documented pattern of information management — examining how disclosures are contained, who controls the flow of information to external parties, and whether the public record represents the complete picture.The family's information control operated within the broader framework of Bill Gothard's Institute in Basic Life Principles. The IBLP system implemented comprehensive restrictions on participation in mainstream culture: prohibitions on secular media, psychological treatment, mental health medication, and birth control — even when medical professionals advised that pregnancy carried significant risk. The "Nike" protocol, confirmed publicly by the Duggar daughters, required males to avert their gaze from women deemed immodestly dressed. Published IBLP materials linked specific illnesses to sins. Blanket training of infants was prescribed as behavioral correction.Dreeke identifies the structural function of the prohibition system: each restriction eliminated a connection to external information or support. Gothard, the system's architect, was accused of harassing thirty-four women employed by the organization. Amy Duggar King and Dreeke examine the intersection of the institutional isolation framework and the family's internal secrecy practices — and their collective role in the outcomes now documented in criminal proceedings.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Josh Duggar's abuse of his sisters was managed internally for years before it became public. Joseph Duggar allegedly admitted to his accuser's father — and according to the arrest affidavit, nobody contacted law enforcement until that father came forward six years later. Investigators reportedly found locks on the outside of the children's bedroom doors. A family spokesperson called the criminal charges "totally unrelated."The question Amy Duggar King keeps asking isn't just what happened. It's how much has been buried.Amy grew up inside this system. She's Jim Bob Duggar's niece. She watched information get managed, narratives get controlled, and the family close ranks every time something surfaced. In her memoir Holy Disruptor, she described a family built on suppression — where loyalty meant silence and speaking out meant retaliation. Now she joins retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to examine the ecosystem of secrecy she says has defined the Duggar family for decades — how information travels inside the circle, how it gets stopped, and who controls what reaches the outside world.But the secrecy doesn't operate in a vacuum. It operates inside a system designed to cut every connection to the outside. The family raised their children inside Bill Gothard's IBLP, where the blacklist consumed nearly every piece of a normal childhood. Cabbage Patch dolls burned — not discarded, burned. Disney movies on backyard bonfires. Rock music, including Christian rock, taught as spiritual corruption. The "Nike" code word yelled in public so the men could avert their eyes. Therapy declared evil. Mental health medication forbidden. Birth control banned even when doctors warned pregnancy could be fatal. Former members describing tampons seized and labeled instruments of pleasure. And blanket training — striking infants for crawling off a blanket — called "encouragement."Every prohibition removed one more link to the outside world. Gothard, the architect, was accused of harassing thirty-four women who worked for him. Amy and Dreeke trace how the isolation system and the secrecy system work together — and whether what the public knows represents the full picture or just the fraction that couldn't be contained.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fr. Mike points out the secrecy in Judas' life, and highlights Jesus' words of conviction to the disciples before his death on the cross. He also explains how important it is to bring Jesus into our temptation, and to not hide our hearts from him like Judas did. Today's readings are John 13-15 and Proverbs 6:6-11.

Something has shifted dramatically in the last few years. The institutions and information structures we were trained to trust have failed in ways that are now difficult to ignore, producing a kind of generalized mistrust that makes it hard to think, hard to act, and hard to know what a good life even looks like anymore. In this episode, Kelly sits down with philosopher and author James Madden to examine what it means to navigate belief and meaning when the ground beneath shared reality has already given way. Jim is the author of Unidentified Flying Hyper-Object: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World and Thinking About Thinking: Mind and Meaning in the Era of Techno-Nihilism, the cohost of The Great Dangerous Books Podcast, and a longtime thinking partner whose refusal to offer easy answers has made him a favorite among listeners of Kelly's previous work. They talk about the complacent indifference that has settled over people in the wake of seemingly endless waves of institutional scandal and revelation. They talk about conspiracy thinking as a cognitive response to the collapse of trusted authority—and why the fact that some conspiracies turn out to be real makes the situation harder to navigate, not easier. They talk about why generalized epistemic mistrust is such an effective mechanism for preventing meaningful action. And they talk about what it means to keep trying to live well when you can no longer trust the information you would need to do it. Topics explored: epistemological collapse | conspiracy thinking as cognitive response | institutional trust failure | the "big other" | generalized skepticism as paralysis | information warfare | the psychology of indifference | epistemic mistrust and political action | radical self-reliance | faith and probability | living well under uncertainty | Žižek | Lacan | Plato's Republic Inquiry with Kelly Chase is brought to you by SpectreVision Radio.Produced in partnership with Voltage.fm.  Referenced In This Episode Unidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World, James Madden Thinking about Thinking: Mind and Meaning in the Era of Techno-Nihilism, James Madden Republic, Plato The Agnostic Inquirer: Revelation from a Philosophical Standpoint, Sandra Menssen & Thomas D.
