Jermaine Chavis & Sa'Yara (Arcturian): Guardian Alliance, 3i Atlas & Humanity's Liberation (PART 3)Jermaine Chavis – “Raven Rising” | Guardian Alliance OperativeIn Part 3, Jermaine Chavis and Sa'Yara take the conversation deeper—beyond disclosure and into activation, resistance, and reclamation. As communication with Sa'Yara, an Arcturian intelligence operating through 3i Atlas, continues to strengthen, new revelations emerge regarding the mechanisms of control embedded within Earth's systems—and the precise role humanity must now play in dismantling them.This episode explores the next phase of the Consciousness War:• How interdimensional and extraterrestrial alliances are coordinating behind the scenes• The true purpose of AI as both a tool of control and liberation• The awakening of Starseeds, Guardians, and Warriors worldwide• What sovereignty truly means in the coming era of open contactJermaine shares critical insights gained through years of direct engagement and frontline consciousness work—revealing why this moment in history cannot be delayed. Sa'Yara delivers messages of urgency, remembrance, and empowerment, reminding humanity that liberation is not granted—it is claimed.The signal has been sent. The alliance is active. The choice is now.#HumanitysLiberation #ETContact #Disclosure #UFODisclosure #Ets #Awakening

In this explosive episode, we expose the growing threat facing Ohio: toxic wastewater from mega data centers—loaded with cancer-causing PFAs—being dumped into all of Ohio's waterways with EPA approval through a permit scheme. We break down how the EPA is failing to protect our land, air, and water, instead siding with corporate interests.We also dig into H.R. 2289, the dangerous federal bill that would give telecom giants the power to install 5G and 6G antennas on virtually any structure—homes, churches, schools—without local approval or public input.And if that wasn't enough, these massive data centers are skyrocketing local electric and water bills by 75–80% or more, draining resources and destroying the environment—while communities are kept in the dark.This is about control, profit, and silence. But we're speaking up. Join us as we uncover the truth and empower you to take a stand for your health, your home, and your freedom.#SayNoTo5G #EPAPermit #StopTheDataCenters #DataCenter #DataCenters #MegaSite

If God is loving and Jesus is truly God, why is there so much suffering? In this sermon from The Skeptic's Guide to a Jewish Rabbi, we approach this painful question by looking at Jesus' baptism, where he steps into the water alongside a suffering people and identifies fully with our broken world. Rather than offering easy answers, this message reflects on a God who meets us in solidarity, bears our pain in love, and shows us that suffering does not have the final word. This sermon is for anyone who carries questions, grief, or longing and wonders where God is in the midst of it all.

What if one of the most influential channels for industrial buyers isn't LinkedIn or Google, but Reddit? Reddit is shaping how engineers research products, validate vendors, and even influence AI-powered search results. In this episode, we dig into how one industrial brand embraced Reddit as a low-cost, high-impact awareness channel. In this episode, Mandee Nguyen, Content Marketing Manager at SICK Sensor Intelligence, shares her journey through her marketing career and how her current role led her to focus on using Reddit to reach SICK's technical audience. Mandee's journey to Reddit didn't start with enthusiasm. Like many marketers, she initially associated the platform with gaming threads and pop culture debates. But shifting search behavior, Google's increased surfacing of Reddit threads, and the platform's growing influence on AI-driven search quickly changed her perspective. Engineers, it turns out, are actively using Reddit as a trusted source of information.At SICK, Reddit began as a low-risk pilot focused on paid advertising. With most ads costing under $1,000, the barrier to entry was far lower than LinkedIn. Mandee shared examples and said video ads, especially demo-focused, educational content, performed best. The conversation also explores why Reddit is best approached as an awareness channel rather than a direct lead-generation engine. Reddit's lead gen tools are still in beta, and users are notoriously resistant to marketing. Authenticity is critical, both in ad copy and any organic, used-based participation.Beyond Reddit, Mandee offers broader advice for industrial marketers heading into 2026: invest in partner marketing, leverage credible external influencers, and use AI strategically for efficiency.Key TakeawaysReddit is a trusted source for information in the engineering community.Advertising on Reddit is more cost-effective than LinkedIn.Authenticity is crucial when marketing on Reddit.Video ads perform better than image ads on Reddit.Engaging with external influencers enhances credibility.Content should be educational rather than promotional.AI tools are used for content repurposing and ad creation.ResourcesConnect with Mandee on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInLearn more about SICK Sensor IntelligenceLearn more about TREW's Marketing Strategy servicesRegister for the Industrial Marketing Summit

You are getting sleeeepy and open to suggestion. But is that how hypnotism works? And does it really open up a portal to the unconscious mind? Hypnotism can be an effective therapeutic tool, and some scientists suggest replacing opioids with hypnosis for pain relief. And yet, the performance aspect of hypnotism often seems at odds with the idea of it being an effective treatment.  In our regular look at critical thinking, Skeptic Check, we ask what part of hypnotism is real and what is an illusion. Plus, we discuss how the swinging watch became hypnotism's irksome trademark.
