In 1945, U.S. Army psychiatrist Dr. Douglas Kelley arrived at Nuremberg with an hypothesis: the 22 top Nazi defendants, including Hermann Göring, the second most powerful man of the Third Reich, must share a unique psychosis. He was looking for a "Nazi mind virus" that could explain the Holocaust. As Jack El-Hai, author of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, of which the new film, Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe as Göring, is based, reveals in this week's Gaslit Nation, Dr. Kelley found something far more terrifying. There was no insanity. These men were clinically "normal." They were ambitious, hardworking, Type-A opportunists: the kind you might find in any corporate boardroom today. What made them willing to destroy half the population to rule the other half? Even Hitler, Dr. Kelley concluded, wasn't a "madman" but a paranoid hypochondriac whose fear of early death rushed him into strategic failures like the invasion of the Soviet Union. This finding is a warning for us now. If Nazism isn't a disease but a human choice, it can take root anywhere. El-Hai points to the "sophisticated propaganda" and the evolution of ICE tactics in Minneapolis, where he and his family live, as modern terror of the early Gestapo. How do we bring Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and their lawless killers to justice in our own Nuremberg trials? We stop waiting for a savior. We document the abuses, we protect the vote, and as El-Hai urges, we "get in where we fit in" during this time of self-defense resistance. This essential history is a reminder that the face of evil is often disturbingly ordinary.

This week, we were joined on the podcast by two moms in suburban Minneapolis. Their upbringings were very different: Stef is a white woman from a small town in southern Minnesota and Nina grew up in Somalia, where her father was a political prisoner. But this year, these two friends are standing side by side to protect their community against ICE.Their friendship was so sweet (each insisting that the other is the true inspiration) but it's also strategic: strong connections between neighbors and friends is how Minnesota has stood up against this year's ICE invasion.Stef and Nina confirmed all of the amazing stories we've been hearing. In -25 degree weather, Minnesotans are out protesting. They're collecting diapers and groceries for families who are too scared to leave their homes. They're even riding on school busses to make sure that kids get to school safe. Nina says it's what her adoptive state is all about.“In this community, we pray together. We share resources with one another. We take care of each other. Everybody is trying to help and stand up for their next door neighbor. Words cannot say how I how I feel about that, and that makes me wanna do more. We are all in this together and feeling this fear, but it turned out to be a strength and inspiration. It's amazing. I feel abundance every night when I go to bed.”This is coming from a woman whose family escaped a violent dictator, only to experience that fear again now in America. Nina's positivity and love for her neighbors radiated from her throughout the interview and reminded us that this is the America we're fighting to save.If you're worried about ICE coming to your town, build those friendships now. Organize a neighborhood potluck. Set up a community Signal chat. If you have those relationships and infrastructure in place, you'll be in a much stronger position to get through hard or even dangerous times.Don't miss this week's chat with Stef and Nina!And if you want to learn more or RSVP for our event next Tuesday about Black maternal mortality, you can do so here.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Grassroots organizers have increasingly used the messaging app Signal to coordinate responses to MAGA authoritarianism. It remains the best messaging app available, but the “ICE Out” protests in Minneapolis demonstrated how regime propagandists and corrupt law enforcement can attack and exploit it. Influencers entered public-facing Signal chats and ferried the information there to Kash Patel's FBI. In this PTI Bulletin, Bill Budington of the Electronic Frontier Foundation joins Jared and Mike to explain how Signal's originated, how the app works, and how to use it effectively on America's increasingly volatile streets.>> Learn more about the Electronic Frontier Foundation>> Learn more about Signal
Nancy Guthrie Missing escalates again as the FBI reportedly deploys a “signal sniffer” in an effort to track digital activity tied to the case — while a fourth demand letter surfaces. In the ongoing Nancy Guthrie Missing investigation, authorities in Tucson, Arizona are intensifying efforts to trace electronic signals, analyze ransom communications, and identify the person responsible for taking Nancy Guthrie. This breaking news adds a new layer of urgency as federal agents and the sheriff coordinate advanced technology and forensic strategy.In this STS Podcast episode, we break down how a signal sniffer works, what investigators may be looking for, and what the fourth demand letter could reveal about the suspect's movements. Is this a calculated digital trail or a desperate attempt to avoid detection? We examine the timeline, law enforcement tactics, and how cases like this can evolve into cold cases without critical breakthroughs. From survivor stories to real crime stories dominating true crime news, we focus on facts, developments, and what could happen next in the search for Nancy Guthrie.Key Points Covered:FBI using “signal sniffer” technologyFourth demand letter receivedSheriff and federal coordination in Tucson, ArizonaDigital tracing and ransom communication analysisWhat this means for the next phase of the investigationSupport the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 200. That's a milestone. And it's fitting that we're talking about one of the most modern and important recruiting skills today. How do you know if someone is a vision fit just by looking at their social profile? We used to rely on resumes, referrals, and production numbers. Now? If you know what to look for, someone's digital footprint can tell you almost everything about how they think, how they lead, and whether they would multiply or dilute your culture. This episode breaks down the five specific signals I look for when evaluating a recruit's online presence. Episode Breakdown [00:00] 200 Episodes and a New Recruiting Reality Why social presence is now a strategic recruiting filter, not just background research. [01:00] Signal 1: Language and Tone How do they talk about the industry? Hopeful or cynical? Growth-focused or transactional? Purpose-driven or purely promotional? Vision-fit recruits often speak in terms of leadership, growth, impact, and mindset. Not just rates and rankings. [02:00] Signal 2: Consistency Are they showing up regularly? Consistency reflects discipline and long-term thinking. Leaders who operate with rhythm publicly often operate with rhythm internally. [02:30] Signal 3: Team-Focused or Self-Focused Scroll the last 10 posts. Do they highlight others? Celebrate partners? Use "we" language? Self-promotion isn't wrong. But zero evidence of collaboration may signal limited alignment with a vision-driven culture. [03:10] Signal 4: How They Handle Challenge and Change What happens when the market gets tough? Do they blame? Do they spiral? Or do they show resilience and adaptability? Vision fit is not perfection. It's posture. [03:50] Signal 5: Purpose Beyond the Job Look for clues of something bigger. Family. Legacy. Faith. Mentorship. Community. People with purpose respond deeply to vision. When you cast something meaningful, it lands differently with them. [04:30] The Big Reframe Social profiles are not the whole story. But they are powerful signals. In 2026, you are not recruiting on economics alone. You are recruiting on alignment, meaning, and leadership. [05:00] Final Filter Question If this person joined tomorrow: Would they multiply the vision? Would they help scale culture? Or would they just add production? That's the difference between a resume fit and a vision fit. Key Takeaways Social Profiles Reveal Mindset – Tone, language, and behavior patterns tell you how someone thinks Consistency Signals Discipline – Rhythmic posting often mirrors internal leadership rhythm Team Language Matters – "We" leaders scale culture better than "me" leaders Adversity Reveals Alignment – Watch how they process change Purpose Attracts Purpose – People who care about something bigger respond to vision faster Recruiting is evolving. You're no longer just evaluating production. You're evaluating posture. You're evaluating belief. You're evaluating alignment. And when you get that right, recruiting becomes deeper, faster, and more sustainable. Want help crafting a brand strategy that reflects your leadership and vision?

Fraud hasn't disappeared - it got smarter. Organized rings now aim upstream at SaaS platforms and ISVs that embed payments, where a single gap in onboarding, transaction logic, or refund flows can be scaled into thousands of attacks overnight. We sit down with Brian Rust, SVP and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer at Worldpay, to map the real fraud journey (entry, action, exit) and the concrete moves product and security leaders can make right now to protect merchants and brand trust.We start with the why: platforms offer leverage. Brian explains how bots and AI generate convincing synthetic businesses that pass weak KYC, and what early signals still break the spell - impossible form completion times, IP and address mismatches, and brand-new domains claiming long histories. From there, we dive into the middle of the kill chain: card testing. You'll hear how velocity spikes, elevated decline rates, and geo anomalies betray large-scale testing and how adaptive limits for new merchants can contain losses and prevent network penalties. Then we confront refund abuse, where attackers exploit trust by refunding to different instruments or flooding high-value returns. The fix isn't blanket friction - it's precision: refund-to-original-card only, refund velocity caps, and targeted reviews that slow bad actors while keeping good customers moving.Brian lays out the layers that matter now: device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, and transaction monitoring that can halt suspect money movement before funds leave your orbit. He also makes the case for a fraud-cyber fusion model, aligning teams and intelligence using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to anticipate tactics as cyber and financial motives blend. Finally, we close with three actions you can ship this quarter: audit onboarding with bot controls and threat modeling, enforce velocity controls that adapt as trust grows, and tap your processor's data and filters (AVS, CVV) to harden defaults.If you lead product, risk, or engineering for a payments-enabled platform, this conversation gives you a practical blueprint to raise attacker costs, protect your merchants, and guard your reputation.

Du liest Ratgeber, machst Kurse, hörst Podcasts – und trotzdem hast du das Gefühl, innerlich keinen Schritt weiterzukommen? Dann ist diese Folge für dich. Wir schauen gemeinsam darauf, warum gerade Hochsensible, Scanner und neurodivergente Menschen so anfällig für Ratgeber-Overload sind wie Tiefenverarbeitung, Vielinteressen und alte Glaubenssätze („Andere wissen es besser als ich“) dazu führen, dass du dir ständig noch mehr Input holst woran du erkennst, dass du im Input-Karussell festhängst – also viel konsumierst, aber kaum ins Handeln kommst und warum das kein Zeichen von Versagen ist, sondern ein Signal deines Nervensystems: „Ich bin voll.“ In dieser Folge bekommst du u. a.: eine einfache Input-Inventur: Wie viel kommt da eigentlich täglich bei dir an? die Idee „eine Stimme pro Thema“, damit du dich nicht mehr von zehn Expert:innen gleichzeitig verunsichern lässt den Unterschied zwischen Konsumzeit und Umsetzungszeit – und wie du pro Input einen kleinen, machbaren Schritt ableitest die „Not-to-Learn-Liste“ für alles, was nicht (mehr) zu dir und deinem System passt Impulse, wie du FOMO („Ich verpasse DIE eine Lösung!“) liebevoll hinterfragen kannst und die Einladung, mit kleinen Experimenten zu arbeiten statt mit der perfekten großen Lebens-Transformation Am Ende der Folge sprechen wir darüber, wann es Zeit ist, aufzuhören, noch mehr Wissen oben draufzupacken – und stattdessen im Rahmen eines Orientierungsgesprächs ganz konkret auf dein Leben, deinen Alltag, dein Business zu schauen.

This week Alex and Scott are joined by ABWE missionary and Western Europe regional director Kyle Farran to explore what true, godly grit looks like in ministry. Rather than defining resilience by personality or overcoming high-pressure moments, they discuss grit as being formed through daily faithfulness, perseverance in the mundane, and steady trust in the Lord. Farran shares insights from Scripture and decades of missionary experience to show that spiritual grit is earned over time, not summoned on demand. This conversation challenges pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders to embrace hard things with confidence rooted in who God is, not merely in understanding His plans. Key Topics The difference between worldly grit and biblical resilience Why daily faithfulness matters more than dramatic moments Trusting God's character in seasons of uncertainty How adversity forms long-term ministry endurance Balancing courage, character, and consistency in leadership Find more from Kyle Farran by visiting kylefarran.com.

Your Next Best Step: Helping Small Business owners build a plan for a brighter future
Many leaders reach a point where success no longer feels fulfilling. In this Leadership Bites episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, host Theresa Cantley explores what to do when you feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from your purpose as a leader. Through a powerful real-world client story, Theresa breaks down why leaders lose passion, how misalignment between identity and role creates frustration, and why growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels empowering. This episode dives into how to shift from leading from the outside in to leading from the inside out by reconnecting with who you want to be, how you want to feel, and what truly makes you come alive as a leader. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, unsure of your direction, or questioning your leadership path, this episode will help you recalibrate, refocus, and take the next right step forward with clarity and confidence. Things to Listen For • Why feeling lost is often a sign you are being asked to grow [01:12] • How leading from an old identity creates friction and burnout [05:02] • The difference between outside-in leadership vs inside-out leadership [07:18] • How intention shapes your daily leadership actions [09:10] • Why reconnecting with what makes you come alive restores motivation [11:02] • How misalignment between role and identity drains passion [12:20] • How to define your personal leadership philosophy [13:04] • Why growth always comes with discomfort and uncertainty [14:22] • The next right step to regain clarity and alignment [17:20] • Final leadership reflection and practical next step [19:10] Shownotes In this Leadership Bites episode, Theresa Cantley shares a powerful coaching conversation with a long-time leader who felt burned out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from his passion. Feeling Lost Is Often a Signal for Growth Feeling lost does not mean you are failing. It often means you are being invited into your next level of leadership. Growth naturally brings discomfort, uncertainty, and friction when you try to lead from an old identity that no longer fits who you are becoming. Inside-Out Leadership vs Outside-In Leadership Many leaders attempt to meet expectations, industry pressure, and external demands first. This creates misalignment. True leadership clarity begins by reconnecting with who you want to be, how you want to feel, and what matters most before reacting to external noise. Reconnecting with What Makes You Come Alive When leaders drift away from the activities that energize them, burnout follows. Reconnecting with what brings you alive restores momentum, creativity, and purpose in your role as a leader. Redefining Your Leadership Philosophy Rather than reacting to what others think you should be doing, define your personal leadership philosophy. These principles guide how you lead, how you make decisions, and how you shape culture within your business. The Power of Intention in Daily Leadership Setting a daily intention changes how you show up. Instead of operating on autopilot, intention allows you to lead with clarity, focus, conviction, and alignment throughout your day. Finding the Next Right Step Clarity does not come from doing everything at once. It comes from taking the next right step that aligns with who you are becoming as a leader. Small aligned actions create powerful momentum over time. Final Leadership Reflection Leadership growth requires letting go of who you were so you can step into who you are becoming. When you reconnect with your intention, your identity, and what makes you come alive, you regain clarity, confidence, and direction.

In the Season 5 premiere, host Kyle King asks one question: what should we have been paying attention to? A blackout in Berlin, a fatal train collision in Spain, and the systematic destruction of Ukraine's power grid all point to the same pattern. The signal wasn't in the incidents. It was in the structural failures that preceded them.After a year of diagnosing what's broken, Kyle argues 2026 has to be about discernment. The profession isn't short on information. It's drowning in it. This episode separates signal from noise: single points of failure, unheard warnings, and survival duration metrics are signal. Threat briefings without operational implications and recycled frameworks are noise dressed as vigilance.This isn't a call for more awareness. It's a call for the discipline to focus on what counts.Show Highlights[00:00] Three countries, three causes, one question[01:00] Berlin's blackout: arson at a single junction point[01:30] Spain's train collision: warnings raised months before[02:00] Ukraine's grid at a third of peacetime capacity[03:30] What Crisis Lab diagnosed in 2025[04:45] The structural pattern behind all three incidents[07:00] From diagnosis to discernment: what 2026 demands[07:45] Finding single points of failure before adversaries do[08:15] Signal vs. noise: what actually changes Monday morning?[09:15] Survival duration: the metric that matters most[10:00] Building discernment through deliberate community[10:45] Why Crisis Lab built The ForumGo Deeper: Crisis Lab ToolkitsListening is one thing.

A cacophony of human screaming. So many people, begging for help.
This week, an interview with Aryanum, a member of the Persian-language anarchist group Anarchism Perspective, based in Iran and Afghanistan. Anarchism Perspective is a synthesist anarchist group based mostly in the region that organizes solidarity and resistance as well as publishing writings at Anarshism.com . For this episode, we speak about the recent uprising in Iran that was met with bloody repression by the regime, with internet blackouts and low-ball estimates of 30,000 dead at government hands from January 8th and 9th 2026 alone. Aryanum speaks about the posturing by monarchists supporting the return and enthroning of Reza Pahlavi II, the son of the last Shah, and the weaponization of Islam by the Mullahs of the regime and other topics.

When God Turns Up the VolumeHearing God's Voice Through Pain, Wisdom, and CommunityIn a world full of noise, we've been learning how God speaks—through His Spirit, through prayer, through Scripture, and through the wisdom of others. But in Week Five of SIGNAL, we look at the loudest way God speaks.Through the story of Jonah, we discover that sometimes God doesn't whisper… He turns up the volume.Storms. Consequences. Interruptions. Seasons we never would have chosen.Pain has a way of getting our attention—and Scripture reminds us that God doesn't waste it.In this message, we unpack four powerful phrases God often shouts through painful seasons:Look Inside.Turn Around.Start Over.Get Ready.Pain isn't punishment—it's often preparation.The fish wasn't rejection—it was protection.And your storm may be the very place God is shaping your next assignment.If you feel like you're in the belly of the fish right now, this message is for you. Because when God turns up the volume, it's not to shame you.It's to save you.
Mira Oxton built a podcast empire interviewing people about their supernatural experiences. She doesn't believe any of it—the empathy she performs is just that, a performance. Then an anonymous audio file arrives: a man's voice from 1987, saying her name, describing a week-long time loop he's lived for thirty-seven years. He claims she's the reason he's trapped. As Mira digs into the mystery, she uncovers a missing persons case, a grieving brother, and a dream she's been having since she was seventeen—a dream about an abandoned radio station and a voice she chose not to hear. She doesn't believe in the supernatural. But she's starting to believe in him.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

The community member with Somali immigration background describes how - even though most of them have U.S. citizenship - she feels the Somali community in Minneapolis was a key target of ICE enforcement during the soon-to-be concluded Operation Metro Surge. She also describes the community response around Signal neighborhood groups.
Two Minneapolis activists were killed within weeks while participating in “ICE Watch” operations linked to a group that trains civilians to track and disrupt law enforcement. Reporting shows organizers encouraged confrontations, surveillance of agents, and disruptive tactics, while using encrypted Signal chats to coordinate – even after following these instructions led to the deaths of multiple members. The encrypted Signal chats reviewed by Fox News Digital show anti ICE protesters were tracking federal agents and mobilized outside a Minneapolis donut shop before Alex Pretti was shot. “Organizers continue to push volunteers into unpredictable scenes, ensuring continued confrontations between residents and federal agents,” writes Christina Buttons, “while the professional architects of the chaos remain shielded from the consequences.” Carl DeMaio is a California State Assemblyman representing the 75th District and chairman of Reform California. He previously served on the San Diego City Council and had a career in business and radio. DeMaio is a longtime taxpayer advocate and proponent of voter ID laws.

"And there's a drive into deep left field..." Did you know Dan calls athletes an 'economy' a lot? Well, Charlie sure does, and it leads Dan to dismiss him and Domonique from the show. Then, the Phillies cut Nick Castellanos, which gives us an excuse to relive one of the best/worst broadcast moments of all time.

There are significant elements of noise in this week's key reports but we feel there is enough signal in these readings to increase confidence that recoupling is taking hold that lifts hiring this quarter even as consumer spending slows. US inflation data follows a similar pattern, with the underlying signal pointing to somewhat less firming than incorporated in our forecast.

Send Steve a Text MessageShows fall apart for simple reasons: a dead tuner battery, a snapped string, a noisy cable. We decided to stop gambling with luck and build a compact guitar emergency kit that turns potential disasters into quick, quiet fixes. This episode is a practical, no-fluff walkthrough of the exact items that keep a set tight, your head calm, and the music flowing.We start with the non-negotiables: spare strings in your favorite gauges, a 10–20 pack of your most frequently broken single, and a fast restring setup with a winder-cutter and microfiber cloth. Then we layer in redundancy with a backup tuner and the batteries or charger it needs, so tuning is never the bottleneck. From there we tackle climate: string lubricants for glide, moisture-absorbing grip for humid nights, and a clean towel to reset your hands and fretboard when conditions get sticky or dry.Signal chain reliability is next. We stock two dependable instrument cables at 15–20 feet, a longer backup for larger stages, a couple of pedal patch leads, and one solid mic cable. If you sing, a personal vocal mic plus alcohol swabs keeps you healthy and confident. Power gets its own module: fresh 9V, AA, and AAA batteries for pedals, wireless units, and active pickups; a compact power strip; a grounded extension cord; and a small USB power bank with the right leads to save the night when outlets are scarce or far away.Rounding out the kit are the small wins that make a big difference: a handful of your favorite picks, a capo and slide for sudden key changes or creative turns, a backup strap plus a generic loaner, a bright pocket flashlight for dark stages, foldable guitar stands that live in the bag, and a multi-bit screwdriver for quick fixes. We also share a simple organization system—grouping by function in labeled pockets—so you can reach the right tool fast without dumping the bag.By the end, you'll have a checklist you can tailor to your rig and your band's blind spots. Prepared players play better, and a smart gig bag is the difference between panic and poise when things go sideways. If this helps you get show-ready, subscribe, share with a bandmate, and leave a quick review to tell us what you added to your kit.Thanks for being here!! I will continue to do my best to bring you the best, most informative guitar discussions to help you along your guitar journey!

As Gaslit Nation has long warned: our institutions are complicit. Nazis infiltrate police departments, protecting an elite pedophile ring–protected by the FBI and DOJ. What can the American people do in a time of elite criminal impunity? Enter antifa. As investigative reporter Christopher Mathias reveals in his new book To Catch a Fascist, the solution is self-reliance and tenacious research skills. As Mathias explains, antifa does exist, haunting Donald Trump's nightmares, and has been a force of resistance throughout American history. Antifa is part of a long tradition in America, composed of LGBTQ people, neurodivergent people, the working class, and other everyday Americans–operating in a hyper-localized decentralized network. Mathias details how activists have unmasked neo-Nazis through Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), infiltrating online and offline groups, hacking, posting "meet your local Nazi" fliers in communities, and citizen investigative journalism. One researcher read 60,000 tweets just to find a single biographical detail to out a Nazi hiding in the dark. As we'll cover in future episodes, antifa's strategies can also apply to outing Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators who think they can continue hiding from justice. Just as the NAACP's Walter White investigated lynchings in the 1920s when the police protected their friends in the Klan, citizen researchers can map the flight logs and financial ties of Trump and Epstein's friends. If the FBI and DOJ continue to protect billionaire lawlessness, we must create a social cost for corruption and predatory elites. If the Department of Justice won't unmask the villains, then it's up to us to do it. "We protect us" is the rallying cry of liberation movements, of neighbors helping neighbors against corruption and institutional failure that protects predators in power.
