Today's Promise: Psalm 84:11 One short verse can carry life-changing promises. That's exactly what we explore in today's episode. This powerful Scripture reminds us that when the Lord is your sun, you never have to walk through life in darkness. His light brings clarity, hope, and direction, even in uncertain seasons. God is also your shield, faithfully protecting you from dangers you may never see. However big your challenges are, His shield is always bigger. This promise goes even deeper. God pours out grace on every believer, making it possible for you to experience His presence and glimpse His glory in everyday life. You don't have to earn it; it's a gift freely given. And as you walk in that grace and live in the light of His glory, you can rest with confidence, knowing God is actively bringing good things into your life. This episode will encourage your faith and remind you that God is working for your good, even now.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today, we're focusing on one of Zura's most defining Instruments, the Nightfall Shield. More than just a wall between Zura and danger, Nightfall represents percussion in the game's musical design and embodies the fantasy of defense as power. From Blocking to Shield Charges to Parries, this weapon is built to be as versatile and expressive as any sword or spear, but with its own identity.https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Jeffrey Epstein used a web of charitable foundations to project legitimacy, influence, and intellectual respectability while concealing the true nature of his activities. Through entities such as the Jeffrey Epstein Foundation and related philanthropic vehicles, Epstein positioned himself as a benefactor of science, education, and elite institutions, donating money to universities, researchers, and high-profile causes. These foundations allowed Epstein to gain proximity to powerful academics, politicians, and financiers, creating the appearance of a wealthy eccentric philanthropist rather than a criminal predator. In practice, the charitable structure functioned as a reputational shield, granting Epstein social access, credibility, and insulation from scrutiny at the very moment he was abusing minors behind closed doors.Beyond image laundering, the foundations also served practical purposes that raised serious red flags after Epstein's arrest. They were used to move large sums of money with minimal transparency, blur personal and institutional finances, and justify travel, meetings, and housing arrangements tied to Epstein's broader network. Survivors and investigators have argued that these charities were not merely incidental to Epstein's operation, but instrumental—providing cover for recruitment, control, and silence while discouraging institutions from asking hard questions about the source of his wealth or his behavior. Once examined closely, the charitable façade collapses, revealing that Epstein's philanthropy was less about public good and more about building protection, access, and plausible deniability for a long-running criminal enterprise.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this video, we explore the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market, especially how it's displacing entry-level positions. A Harvard study shows a 22% reduction in job postings for entry-level roles in companies adopting AI. As AI takes over tasks like legal research and basic admin work, it's becoming clear that many jobs are at risk. But there's hope—real estate investing can help create AI-proof income streams, offering long-term wealth and financial security. Learn how active real estate businesses like flipping houses, wholesaling, and the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) require human expertise and can't easily be replaced by AI. We also discuss passive real estate investing, which allows you to earn money while you sleep through methods like private partnerships, lending, and syndications. If you want to learn more about building passive income with real estate, join our Co-Investing Club to connect with like-minded investors and start your journey toward financial independence.

The People's Liberation Army began to carry out an inter-service exercise surrounding Taiwan Island on Monday, according to a military spokesman.据一名军方发言人介绍，人民解放军于周一开始在台湾岛周边开展多军兵种联合演习。Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesman for the PLA Eastern Theater Command, said on Monday morning that his command has launched the "Justice Mission 2025" exercise, which involves its ground, air, naval, missile, and other forces.解放军东部战区新闻发言人施毅大校周一上午表示，战区已启动代号为“正义使命—2025”的演习，参演力量包括陆军、空军、海军、火箭军等多种兵力。"The operation includes air and sea patrols, suppression of hostile forces, blockade of critical ports and zones, and battlefield periphery deterrence, and is intended to test our forces' joint combat capabilities," he said.他说，此次行动涵盖空中与海上巡逻、压制敌对力量、封锁关键港口和区域以及战场周边慑控，旨在检验部队的联合作战能力。Aircraft and warships will conduct exercises near the Taiwan Island from multiple directions while units from different PLA branches will simulate joint strikes, the spokesman noted, adding that these moves will examine the troops' capabilities in rapid, all-dimensional deployment and omnidirectional blockade and control.发言人指出，解放军航空兵和海军舰艇将从多个方向在台湾岛附近开展演练，不同军兵种部队将模拟实施联合打击，这些行动将检验部队快速、全维度部署以及全方位封锁与控制能力。Shi stressed that this is a stern warning against "Taiwan independence" separatists and external forces attempting to interfere in the Taiwan question and is a legitimate and necessary action to safeguard China's sovereignty and national unity.施毅强调，此举是对“台独”分裂势力及企图干涉台湾问题的外部势力发出的严正警告，是维护国家主权和国家统一的正当且必要行动。His command also published a themed poster titled "Shield of Justice, Smashing Illusion".其所在战区还发布了主题海报《正义之盾，粉碎幻象》。The latest military action comes in the wake of the United States' announcement earlier this month about its large-scale arms sale package planned for Taiwan that totals $11.1 billion.此次最新军事行动是在美国本月早些时候宣布拟向台湾地区出售总额达111亿美元的大规模武器装备计划之后采取的。The plan was unveiled on Wednesday, covering eight items, including HIMARS rocket systems, howitzers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Altius loitering munition drones, and parts for other equipment.该计划于周三公布，涵盖八个项目，包括“海马斯”火箭系统、榴弹炮、“标枪”反坦克导弹、“阿尔蒂乌斯”巡飞弹无人机以及其他装备的相关零部件。The Chinese government said the move has seriously violated the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, interfered in China's internal affairs, and undermined China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.中国政府表示，此举严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报，粗暴干涉中国内政，损害中国的主权和领土完整。It has announced countermeasures against some US companies and executives involved in the arms sale plan.中方已宣布对参与该军售计划的部分美国企业及其高管采取反制措施。inter-service exercise /ˌɪntərˈsɜːrvɪs ˈeksərsaɪz/多军兵种联合演习Eastern Theater Command /ˈiːstərn ˈθɪətər kəˈmænd/东部战区joint combat capabilities /dʒɔɪnt ˈkɑːmbæt ˌkeɪpəˈbɪlɪtiz/联合作战能力large-scale arms sale package/ˈlɑːrdʒ skeɪl ɑːrmz seɪl ˈpækɪdʒ/大规模军售方案countermeasures /ˈkaʊntərˌmeʒərz/反制措施

Nothing teaches a rules system faster than throwing it directly into danger. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew does exactly that by unleashing a Pathfinder 2e one-shot designed to show how the rules actually work when dice hit the table. Expect missed attacks, clever teamwork, rules "aha!" moments, and at least one situation where the three-action economy proves it is both elegant and mildly terrifying. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Just in time for holiday one-shots, convention games, and introducing curious relatives to tabletop RPGs, RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e Quickstart episodes for the 2025 holiday season! These remastered episodes are perfect for GMs running demos, players learning PF2e for the first time, and groups looking for a clean, rules-forward way to start adventuring. Show Notes In Part 3 of the RPGBOT.Quickstart series, we put Pathfinder Second Edition rules into action with a one-shot example play session designed specifically to teach the game through real gameplay. Instead of theory, this episode shows how Pathfinder 2e actions, reactions, skills, and combat mechanics function at the table when players are making real decisions under pressure. The episode walks listeners through initiative, movement, skill checks, and combat rounds, highlighting how the three-action economy creates meaningful tactical choices every turn. We discuss when to Strike, Step, Raise a Shield, Recall Knowledge, and use reactions—showing how Pathfinder 2e rewards teamwork and planning without bogging the game down. This example play is ideal for new players, GMs preparing a Pathfinder 2e one-shot, or anyone who wants to see how PF2e rules flow in practice. By hearing the rules applied in context, listeners gain confidence running or playing Pathfinder Second Edition at their own tables. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e is easiest to learn by seeing the rules in action. The three-action economy gives players flexibility and tactical depth. Positioning, teamwork, and smart action use matter more than raw damage. PF2e combat flows quickly once players understand actions and reactions. One-shots are an excellent way to teach Pathfinder Second Edition. Clear rules structure makes PF2e beginner-friendly when demonstrated properly. Example play bridges the gap between reading rules and playing confidently. Join the RPGBOT Patreon! Want to see how these episodes come together before they're released?

Orion is climbing into prominence in winter’s evening sky. The hunter clears the eastern horizon by about an hour and a half after sunset. He’s led by his shield. It’s not as easy to see as his belt or other features. But the shield’s brightest star does stand out. Pi-3 Orion is in the middle of the shield – where Orion’s hand is holding it. The star is a little bigger, heavier, and hotter than the Sun. That makes it about three times brighter than the Sun. There are a couple of ways to look at that brightness: apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. Apparent magnitude is how bright a star looks. In that scale, Pi-3 shines at about magnitude 3.2 – not especially bright, but bright enough to see under even most light-polluted skies. But that number doesn’t tell you the star’s true brightness. It might be especially bright, but it might also be especially close. So that’s where absolute magnitude comes in. It’s how bright a star would look at a distance of 10 parsecs – 32.6 light-years. If you lined up every star at that distance, you could easily tell which ones are truly bright. Pi-3 is just 26 light-years away. If you moved it out to 10 parsecs, it would shine at magnitude 3.65 – half as bright as it looks now. In fact, if you moved all the stars in the shield to that distance, Pi-3 would be its faintest member – a middling middle for the shield. Script by Damond Benningfield

In filings in 2023, former Jes Staley asked a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss JPMorgan Chase's lawsuit against him related to the bank's handling of its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan sued Staley seeking to recover compensation and losses tied to two lawsuits the bank faces over its work with Epstein, alleging Staley misled the bank about Epstein's character and conduct and failed to address internal concerns about keeping Epstein as a client. In response, Staley argued that the bank's claims lacked both legal and factual basis, and he urged the judge to throw out the case because the bank was unfairly trying to pin blame on him for broader institutional decisions made by JPMorgan. Staley specifically accused the bank of using him as a “public relations shield” to deflect criticism and responsibility for its own alleged failures in managing its relationship with Epstein rather than focusing on substantive legal issues.A federal judge later denied Staley's motion to dismiss, saying the case would proceed and that explanations would follow in written orders. Staley's defense centered on the idea that JPMorgan could not plausibly hold him solely responsible for decisions made by the bank years earlier, especially when there were no clear allegations that he directly facilitated Epstein's criminal activities or knew of them firsthand. His contention was that JPMorgan was attempting to deflect scrutiny from its own policies and practices by placing him at the center of high-profile litigation, turning him into a scapegoat for reputational purposes. The legal dispute was part of broader litigation tied to Epstein's network and the bank's role in enabling his financial activities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, analiza los mercados bursátiles, el bono y el dólar, la recta final en 2025 y cómo serán los últimos días en el mercado en Wall Street, que expectativas sobre la plata y el oro en 2026, después de que estos metales preciosos estén en zona de máximos y cómo pueden afectar los conflictos geopolíticos al precio del petróleo. “Estamos ante lo que se llama el “Santa Claus Rally”, el 75% de las veces ha marcado subidas”, añade el invitado. El analista también ha analizado cuál es el momento de los metales preciosos. El oro sigue en zona de máximos. Las tensiones geopolíticas vuelven a impulsar a los metales preciosos, con subidas que no se veían desde 1979.La plata también se sitúa en máximos y lleva una revalorización del 140%. “Hay mucho movimiento especulativo, inversores apalancados, pero también la plata es un metal industrial con mucha demanda y lo que se está viendo es que tienen miedo a quedarse sin plata” afirma el country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares. También ha comentado la situación del cobre, donde destaca que “la demanda va a seguir subiendo mucho y también se ha visto que hay mucha especulación”. También la atención ha estado puesta en Asia, donde el Ejecutivo nipón ha aprobado un presupuesto récord de 781.000 millones de dólares. El presupuesto está destinado a financiar tanto un mayor gasto en defensa como los crecientes costos de la seguridad social. El Gobierno pretende invertir 9 millones de yenes en Defensa, donde destaca sobre todo el proyecto Shield, que se llevará de esta partida 100.000 millones de yenes. Ignacio Vacchiano apunta que “pero Japón lo que ha hecho en los últimos cuatro años de tener una deuda respecto a su PIB del 220 % está ahora en el 200%”.

In filings in 2023, former Jes Staley asked a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss JPMorgan Chase's lawsuit against him related to the bank's handling of its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan sued Staley seeking to recover compensation and losses tied to two lawsuits the bank faces over its work with Epstein, alleging Staley misled the bank about Epstein's character and conduct and failed to address internal concerns about keeping Epstein as a client. In response, Staley argued that the bank's claims lacked both legal and factual basis, and he urged the judge to throw out the case because the bank was unfairly trying to pin blame on him for broader institutional decisions made by JPMorgan. Staley specifically accused the bank of using him as a “public relations shield” to deflect criticism and responsibility for its own alleged failures in managing its relationship with Epstein rather than focusing on substantive legal issues.A federal judge later denied Staley's motion to dismiss, saying the case would proceed and that explanations would follow in written orders. Staley's defense centered on the idea that JPMorgan could not plausibly hold him solely responsible for decisions made by the bank years earlier, especially when there were no clear allegations that he directly facilitated Epstein's criminal activities or knew of them firsthand. His contention was that JPMorgan was attempting to deflect scrutiny from its own policies and practices by placing him at the center of high-profile litigation, turning him into a scapegoat for reputational purposes. The legal dispute was part of broader litigation tied to Epstein's network and the bank's role in enabling his financial activities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell's motion for attorney–client and work product protection in her lawsuit with Virginia Roberts Giuffre sought to shield a wide range of documents and communications from disclosure during discovery. Maxwell argued that certain materials requested by Giuffre were protected because they reflected legal strategy, attorney communications, or preparations made in anticipation of litigation. Her filing emphasized that forcing disclosure would unfairly expose her defense strategy and violate long-standing legal privileges designed to protect confidential legal consultation. Maxwell's attorneys framed the motion as a necessary safeguard against what they characterized as overbroad and invasive discovery demands. They contended that without these protections, defendants in high-profile civil litigation would be placed at a systemic disadvantage. The motion leaned heavily on precedent affirming the sanctity of attorney–client privilege and work product doctrine. Maxwell's team positioned the issue as procedural rather than substantive, arguing it was about legal fairness, not hiding facts. The filing attempted to narrow what Giuffre could access while preserving Maxwell's litigation posture.In response, the dispute highlighted broader tensions in the case over transparency versus privilege. Giuffre's side argued that Maxwell was using privilege claims too expansively to block relevant evidence, particularly materials that could shed light on Epstein's operations and Maxwell's role within them. The motion became part of a recurring pattern in the litigation, where Maxwell sought to limit discovery that could expose damaging details under the guise of legal protection. Courts were asked to balance legitimate privilege against the need for factual development in a case involving serious allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking. The issue underscored how privilege claims can function as both a shield for legal strategy and a barrier to accountability. Ultimately, the motion reflected Maxwell's broader legal strategy of tightly controlling information flow. It also reinforced the adversarial nature of the lawsuit, where discovery itself became a central battleground. The fight over work product was less about isolated documents and more about how much of Maxwell's conduct would be subject to scrutiny.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

There's a big discussion taking place in this country about immigration, and “one of the themes has been whether a person came legally or illegally,” and what their attitude toward the country they came to is. A U.S. federal attorney recently uncovered fraud occurring in Minnesota where fraudsters in the Somali community there stole billions of dollars from American taxpayers over a period of years, and the state government did nothing to stop it. “ There were a variety of state and local laws that were violated, but there were no prosecutions. Gov. Walz cannot explain why the feds had to step in and why he never even investigated this until the media and the Trump administration drew his attention to it. [Minnesota Attorney General] Keith Ellison allegedly has talked about expecting campaign contributions from the Somali community in some kind of quid pro quo fashion,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” 00:00 COVID-19 Fraud in Minnesota's Somali Community 01:01 Immigration and Gratitude Debate 04:07 Ilhan Omar's Controversial Actions 06:38 Financial Discrepancies and Allegations 07:48 Concluding Thoughts on Immigration and Gratitude

Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1914 MT ZION
