Freeman and I recorded this broadcast way back in 2020, during the early phases of the Covid Scamdemic... As Freeman often says, "never an old episode"... The information we discussed here is more relevant now than ever before...A new type of brain-imaging technology could expose—even change—our private thoughts and destroy our Cognitive Liberty... Sophisticated neuroimaging machines and brain-computer interfaces detect the electrical activity of neurons, enabling us to decode and even alter the nervous system signals that accompany mental processes.If enough people understand and resist their agenda, then we can have a brighter future for all mankind, and not just the select few who think themselves better than the masses. We can have a better future for all, not a future where we are all tied to a computer for eternity in an endless cycle of debt and misery, subject to the whims of the controllers and/or an artificial intelligence control grid.Check out Freeman's archives at:www.freemantv.comFind more of my work at:www.alchemicaltechrevolution.com

Hello, dear listener. I hope you've been well since I last dropped in to see you. You've probably noticed that I've been quiet for a minute. In short, life has been life-ing, and I've been being human. Many years ago I told myself (and anyone else who'd listen, haha) a couple of things: first, that I'd give music to the world until the day I die. That's a promise I know I'll keep. Second, that I'd always stay true and authentic as it relates to my artistry and I would never release music just for the sake of having something "new" up at the moment. The quality of my content is much more important than the quantity of it. So...I've been quiet, concentrating on being and staying grounded and nourishing my soul through some interesting times we're in. As they say though, there's always sunshine after the rain. Let it shine...Let's talk about music. Even though it's been spell since you've seen new content released by me that doesn't mean that I haven't been over here endlessly finding the most beautiful new music to present to you. Speaking of new music, wow. We are in such good times for music right now. I believe that because of the "tough times" we're living through that humanity at large is needing comfort and joy. That is showing up with a return to rich and emotionally-driven melodic music. You'll find the best of that here on this new set.Each of my sets fall differently as it relates to the ebb and flow of the energy. Sometimes the set will peak late, sometimes earlier. It's my belief that this set kind of peaks in the middle of the set (and that's OK!). There IS a cohesiveness from beginning to end, so I'm not concerned about where the "peak" is. But about that peak...wow. I have a string of songs that are epic masterpieces. As I sit and type these words I'm listening to that set within this set and I am covered in chill bumps. I hope you'll feel these same "feels" as me. Pay close attention to the set once I get to "Start A Fire" by Above & Beyond. After that I go through Coastlines "Everything All At Once", Aname "Hopeful", WhoMadeWho "Bedside", Topic "I Adore You" and Anthony Keyrouz "Young And Beautiful" -- all powerful masterpieces.Above & Beyond dropped a new album today, July 18th. I present two of the singles from the album (Start A Fire and Quicksand) because of how good they are and also so I could talk about the album. Go listen to it. Run. It's a beautiful collection of heart-driven masterpieces. Start A Fire is probably my favorite single from the album. Featuring Richard Bedford on vocals, it starts chill and low in energy and steadily builds into a hands-to-heaven emotional anthem.Enough with my words. On to the music. As always, this set was conceived and mixed with every ounce of love that I've got to give. From my heart...to your ears. LOVE.Artist/Title/Remix01. Gheist/Searching Places/Original Mix02.

This is the weekly columnSummmer-time, and sippin' rosé is easy… fish are jumpin'… and the cotton is high.OK, bastardizing George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess intro may be a déclassé way to introduce a high summer homage to the pink-blush stepchild of both red and white wine. Times change. “One of these mornings you're going to rise up singing, then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky.” And so it has been with rosé.In the past decade-plus rosé has risen from wine sipped by m'lady on her fainting couch or slurped by repressed soccer moms in surreptitious soirées, with ice cubes bobbing in their fully filled ice tea glasses (yes, I am looking at you, closet white zinfandel drinkers). You did what you had to do.This is the middle of the third decade of the 21st century. Today, rosé is recognized as a real wine category that can unabashedly be enjoyed by manly men and girlie girls and all the silly permutations in between. Cash register receipts affirm it.While wines in general have treaded sales waters in recent years, rosé wines have been on a consistent rise. US rosé sales increased in volume 1,433% from 2010 to 2020, and has only barely slowed in the recent years of the current wine sales retreat.To the ecstatic delight of makers, most of the rise is attributable to to Gen Z and Millennials, the very consumers that desperate, salivating wine promoters pursue. Rosé is Cinderella. Once shunned by burly, brusque red wine brothers and haughty, condescending white wine sisters, rosé bided its time until the vicissitudes of fashion inevitably caused trendsetters to frantically scour for the “next big thing.” And there was rosé—the blessed bridge between red and white—and the answer to a winemaker's prayer.Like white wine, rosé is a fast turnaround product. One, two years, sold. Reds are so much more lumbering, taking years—ye, gods, sometimes almost a decade—before they reach their sellable state. Gimlet-eyed bankers avariciously grasping winery loan notes are not noted for patience or understanding.The rosé rise particularly is attributable to a shift away from the treacly sweet by-product of red wine production in the past. Such plonk was never mainstream, but it was effervescently successful when American wine drinkers were toddling neophytes just beginning their journey into the universe of the serious, dry wine most common today. Dry rosé is real, serious wine. It is the most common rosé wine you can purchase. Dry rosés are delectably versatile wines that can work just as well as an aperitif for giddy ingenues as for pompous panjandrums of pairing facing an eclectic cornucopia of food courses.Rosé's time has come. If alive today, Porgy and Bess would be sipping it on their veranda while celebrating the recent rise in their 401K portfolio. The fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high.Tasting notes• H&B Provence Rosé 2023: Delicate delight, very nice Provence rosé managed in a somewhat testing year. Fruit-forward, fresh, subtle herb and minerality. It received praise as being a quality wine that achieved better than its vintage peers. Excellent if not exceptional. But excellent in a Provence rosé is no faint praise. $20 https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/hb-provence-rose-2023/#more-20437• Domaine St. Laurent Rosé de Pinot Noir Block One Rouge Valley, Oregon 2023: Delicate, elegant, showcases light red fruits. Versatile, easily can be enjoyed on its own or paired with lighter fare. Tad more substantial than typical Provence efforts, but reflects that tradition. $25 https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/domaine-st-laurent-rose-de-pinot-noir-block-one-rouge-valley-oregon-2023/#more-20675• Luc Belaire Rare Rosé Sparkling NV, France: A top-selling sparkling rosé in the U.S. Faint sweetness, restrained acidity, and delicious strawberry flavor make it a crowd pleaser. $30 https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/luc-belaire-rare-rose-sparkling-nv-france/#more-20672• Dutcher Crossing Grace Reserve Russian River Valley Brut Rosé NV: Very brisk with significant acidity backbone supporting fresh raspberry, strawberry, and cranberry fruit notes. Depth and complexity from 20 months bottle aging on the lees. Sophisticated effort with power and attitude. No wimp pink sparkling this. $59 https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/dutcher-crossing-grace-reserve-russian-river-valley-brut-rose-nv/#more-20502Last roundTwo young boys are at their first wedding. One turns to the other and asks: “So, how many wives can a man have?”Second boy: “Apparently it is 16. Four better. Four worse. Four richer. Four poorer. And you gotta put up with them in sickness and in health until you die. Jeez!”Wine time.Gus Clemens on Wine is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Do you stick to the rules or do you roll through stop signs? Whether you're “tight” or “loose” — how closely you adhere to social norms — has major implications for your life at home and at work. “To be effective, we want to be ambidextrous,” says Michele Gelfand, the John H. Scully Professor in Cross-Cultural Management and Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. “Even if we might lean tight or loose, we want to be able to create a context where we can have both tight and loose elements.”Sophisticated strategies will fail if they don't account for deeply embedded norms, and Gelfand breaks down why the adage that “culture eats strategy for breakfast” is more than just a management cliché. “From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, [culture is] affecting everything from our politics to our parenting,” Gelfand says. “But we take it for granted — we don't even think about it. So it's kind of invisible. And that's a pretty profound puzzle.” What's the biggest cultural adjustment you've made?

After 20 years of incessant and persistent work-in clubs all over the world, Victor M- -has become one of Spain's top DJs and producers -whose influences have been hip-hop, funk and the house, among other styles. Pushmann, delivers techno for the mind body and soul. PUSHMANN produces a Detroitesque sound with clear and strong influence of European sound, Berlin and Birmingham. His imaginary sound is based on the fast-paced, industrial and mechanical high-octane techno. In his classic genre he delivers raw goodness to intrigue the listener and take him or her to a higher level. Power, darkness and fierceness serving the dance floor. His special attention and taste for metallic percussion and steel cavernous drums well located in front of everything, almost martia, or warlike. Also draw attention to their surgical and haunting melodies, looped and accelerated to paroxysm. Sophisticated bestiality that stuns and spreads like wildfire.

Michael Blank is a real estate investor, author, speaker, and CEO of Nighthawk Equity. He's one of the leading authorities on apartment investing and financial freedom through multifamily real estate. With over $300 million in assets under management and author of Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, Michael helps investors and aspiring entrepreneurs escape the W-2 grind by acquiring multifamily properties and building sustainable income streams.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Michael transitioned from tech to restaurants to real estate after early business setbacks during the 2000 and 2008 market crashes. Multifamily real estate offers superior risk-adjusted returns due to forced appreciation and operational control compared to single-family homes. Market sentiment is often wrong—investors must look past fear-based headlines and focus on long-term fundamentals. Today's market offers lower leverage, better pricing, and a strong long-term demand outlook for multifamily housing. Education and building sophistication as an investor is critical to identifying real opportunities, especially in volatile markets.     Topics Michael's Journey into Multifamily Started in corporate software; was part of a major IPO just before the 2000 tech bubble crash. Lost significant capital in restaurant franchises during the 2008 recession. Began flipping houses before discovering multifamily through a 12-unit deal in DC that eventually sparked his passion for apartments. Built Nighthawk Equity and an education platform to help others achieve financial freedom through apartment investing. Understanding Risk-Adjusted Returns Multifamily offers superior downside protection compared to many other asset classes. Operational risk (property management) can be mitigated by using professional managers. Market risk can be managed by focusing on NOI-driven valuation rather than relying on market appreciation like single-family. Investors must evaluate underwriting assumptions—rent growth, vacancy, CapEx reserves, and debt terms—to fully assess risk. Why Multifamily is Attractively Priced Today Current deals are 30% below 2021 peak prices. Leverage is lower and more conservative, reducing financial risk. Interest rates are flat or declining, improving the outlook for new acquisitions. Long-term demand remains strong due to the lack of new affordable housing supply. Investor Sentiment and Sophistication Market sentiment swings often don't reflect true investment fundamentals. Sophisticated investors like institutions are returning to the market now while many retail investors remain fearful. Successful investing requires becoming a student of the market and evaluating data beyond media headlines. Raising Capital in Today's Market Focuses heavily on education to help investors understand why now may be a great buying window. Transparency, data-driven insights, and regular communication are key to re-engaging cautious investors. Building long-term relationships and trust remains critical to capital raising success.    

CSI Litigation Consultant Linda Khzam joins Steve Wood, Ph.D. to discuss managing emotional and anxious witnesses during deposition prep. Drawing on her background in cognitive neuroscience and working with crime victims, Linda explains that many witnesses enter the litigation process with no understanding of what to expect, likening it to being dropped unprepared into a foreign country. She stresses the need to provide a clear roadmap, explaining logistics, roles, and expectations, to help witnesses feel grounded and prepared. A crucial aspect in witness preparation is identifying anxiety before it escalates. Linda describes signs such as rapid speech, over-explaining, or defensiveness as early indicators that a witness is becoming emotionally activated. She emphasizes the importance of mock questioning to surface these behaviors and help the attorney recognize when intervention is necessary. Witnesses are also encouraged to develop self-awareness around their “tells” and learn to pause and regulate themselves before they spiral. Sophisticated neurocognitive training teaches witnesses these tools. Linda and Steve emphasize that deposition prep must be tailored to each individual, especially those dealing with external stressors or trauma. She explains that emotional issues like guilt, fear of job loss, or personal crises can interfere with memory and decision-making during testimony. By building rapport with the witness, taking time to address personal challenges, and practicing in realistic conditions, witnesses can approach depositions with more clarity, control, and confidence.  Watch the video of the episode: https://www.courtroomsciences.com/r/euB

Derek Marsh joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as the two discuss leveraging financial tools and intelligence as core investigative strategies to disrupt human trafficking operations and improve survivor restitution outcomes. Derek Marsh Derek Marsh is the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice and a deputy chief with extensive law enforcement experience. He has been a frequent guest on the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast and led a recent roundtable discussion on following the money in human trafficking investigations. His background includes hands-on experience with trafficking investigations and a deep understanding of the collaborative approaches needed to combat these complex crimes. Key Points Financial intelligence serves as a core investigative tool that provides a clearer perspective of criminal organizations than traditional methods relying on confidential informants or victim testimony. Sophisticated money laundering patterns include funnel accounts, structured cash deposits, and geographically patterned movements that help traffickers hide the origin and legitimacy of their funds. Financial investigations can expose connections between what appear to be separate crimes, revealing larger criminal enterprises rather than isolated "mom and pop" operations. Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated by banks when they detect unusual deposit patterns provide valuable intelligence for law enforcement agencies investigating trafficking operations. Advanced software tools like those from Valid8 Financial can visualize complex transaction flows and present financial data in comprehensible formats for courts, making cases stronger and easier to prosecute. Geographic analysis of financial flows reveals high-risk corridors between certain countries that banks monitor for potential criminal activity, such as Nigeria to Italy or Philippines to Europe pathways. Human trafficking investigations require multi-agency collaboration because finances cross jurisdictional boundaries as easily as phone calls or internet connections. Public-private partnerships with banks, corporations, NGOs, and faith-based organizations create interlocking layers of expertise that strengthen investigations globally. Financial tools enable law enforcement to seize assets and freeze accounts tied to trafficking operations, providing funds for survivor restitution that has historically been difficult to collect. Using financial intelligence reduces the burden on survivors to testify in court by providing concrete evidence that doesn't require victim testimony to prove criminal enterprise operations. The approach transforms financial intelligence into justice by treating human trafficking fundamentally as a financial crime that exploits people for profit. Training law enforcement on financial investigative techniques and providing AI-enhanced tools are essential since most officers lack accounting expertise needed for complex financial analysis.

Todd Renner is a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over 25 years of experience leading global cyber investigations, incident response efforts, and digital asset recovery operations. He advises clients on a wide range of cybersecurity and data privacy matters, combining deep technical knowledge with a strategic understanding of risk, compliance, and regulatory frameworks. With a distinguished background at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Security Agency (NSA), Mr. Renner has contributed to national security, international cyber collaboration, and has played a key role in mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. In this episode… The rising complexity of cyber threats continues to test how businesses prepare, respond, and recover. Sophisticated threat actors are exploiting these vulnerabilities of private companies and leveraging AI tools to accelerate their attacks. Despite these dangers, many organizations hesitate to involve law enforcement when a cyber event occurs. This hesitation often stems from misconceptions about what law enforcement involvement entails, including fears of losing control over their systems or exposing sensitive company information. As a result, companies may prioritize quickly restoring operations over pursuing retribution from the attackers, leaving critical security gaps unaddressed. Collaborating with law enforcement doesn't mean forfeiting control or exposing confidential data unnecessarily. Investigations often reveal repeated issues, including mobile device compromises, missing multifactor authentication, and failing to improve cybersecurity measures after a breach. To be better prepared, companies need to develop and practice incident response plans, ensure leadership remains involved, and build security programs that evolve beyond incident response. And, as threat actors actively use AI to accelerate data aggregation and create convincing deepfakes, companies need to start thinking about how to better detect these threats. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Todd Renner, Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting, about how organizations are responding to modern cyber threats and where many still fall short. Todd shares why companies hesitate to engage law enforcement, how threat actors are using AI for faster targeting and impersonation, and why many businesses fail to strengthen their cybersecurity programs after a breach. He also discusses why deepfakes are eroding trust and raising new challenges for companies, and he provides practical tips for keeping both organizations and families safe from evolving threats.
