Dr. Kristen Tegtmeier Oertel's Seeking Freedom in Indian Country: Slavery, Sovereignty, and Resistance within the Five Tribes, 1790–1861 (LSU Press, 2026) is the first comprehensive study of African chattel slavery within the Five Tribes: the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), and Seminole Nations. Dr. Oertel examines how chattel slavery functioned among all Five Tribes before and during the removal process, how the tribes reconstituted slavery post-removal in Indian Territory, and how enslaved Black people promoted freedom-seeking strategies at each stage. Furthermore, her work considers how the conflict over slavery in Indian Territory contributed to the larger national debate over slavery's fate on the eve of the Civil War. Historians have examined how the practice of African enslavement emerged within one or two tribes, how forced migration affected slavery within particular nations, and how the debate over slavery divided multiple Indigenous nations. Dr. Oertel, however, is the first to examine Indian Territory as a whole, its significance to the sectional debates, and its role as an incubator of emancipation policies in the United States. Knitting together these individual tribal narratives and supplementing them with extensive primary research on how slavery functioned across Indian Territory, she integrates Indian country into the antebellum march toward the Civil War. Seeking Freedom in Indian Country joins a rising chorus of studies that integrate southern and western history, which, by default, also pulls together the history of the so-called Indian Wars with the Civil War. Dr. Oertel suggests that we cannot fully understand the causes of the Civil War without also considering the changes brought about by the forced removal of Indians. She argues that settler colonialism and the expansion of African chattel slavery together set the stage for sectional conflict to explode in the West. Ironically, both Indigenous resistance to settler colonialism and Black resistance to slavery challenged white supremacy in ways that foretold the end of slavery but also furthered the settler colonial project. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This talk was originally presented at the Dallas Mother's Conference in September, 1999. Elisabeth often gave the same talk in different locations.

Mike Winner spent a decade DJing Hollywood clubs before turning toward the infrastructure of digital freedom — founder of WINNR Digital, co-founder of the decentralized internet Qortal, and co-founder of the Music & Sky festival. Returning for the first time since 2022, he brings a caution aimed squarely at his own community: purity spiraling, the habit of turning discernment into a cage where every meal, every device, and every dollar becomes a moral exam. Real sovereignty, as he frames it, is less glamorous and far more demanding. It is what you actually own, what you actually think, and the responsibility you refuse to outsource. Nobody holds dominion over all of reality. What you do have is the choice to stop leaking your life into systems that were never yours.(00:00) Nature vs Nurture Cold Open(00:34) Opening Conversation(02:54) Meet Mike Winner(06:19) Imposter Syndrome and Finding Purpose(09:00) Community Healing and Analog Revival(11:47) Building a Sovereign Ranch Hub(14:50) Tech Detox w/o Purity Spirals(17:55) Parenting in a Digital World(25:09) Junk Food Nostalgia and Balance(32:42) Manifestation and Mastering Mind(39:28) Entrepreneurship In The Arena(41:39) Leaving AlphaVedic For Growth(46:22) Cinema As Modern Myth(53:19) NPCs And Ideological Capture(57:47) Building Qortal And NuQloud(01:02:15) PMA and Living Sovereign (01:07:06) Walmart / Amazon Discernment(01:11:45) Nature Is Metal(01:22:00) Barefoot Hiking & Peru Porters(01:28:05) AI And Slowing DownGuest Linkshttps://mikewinner.comThe GNM Weekend — October 9–10, Los Angeles (use code HFTT10)Connect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetFollow us on InstagramJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch All Episodes

Digital sovereignty is one of the most talked-about topics in European tech policy right now and according to Alexei Balaganski, most of the conversation is going in completely the wrong direction. In this episode, Matthias sits down with Alexei to challenge the assumptions behind the sovereignty debate, redefine what the term actually means, and lay out what organizations should really be doing about it. Key Topics: ✅ Why the "digital sovereignty" conversation has gone wrong — and what Alcatraz has to do with it✅ The only correct definition of sovereignty: can you keep operating when a dependency disappears?✅ Why sovereignty is just business continuity engineering — not a procurement decision✅ How sovereign Europe really is today: the numbers are worse than you think✅ Why "buy European" is a political preference, not a security strategy✅ Decentralization, crypto agility, and distributed storage as practical sovereignty tools

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by Jonathon Kinchen (JK) to look at horse racing action from Virginia at Colonial Downs for Saturday (Aug. 1), headlined by the Arlington Million! All eyes in the Arlington Million point to Burnham Square, winner of the Holy Bull 2025 and the Blue Grass Stakes 2025 before finishing sixth in Kentucky Derby 2025 behind Sovereignty. Since that sophomore campaign, Burnham Square has evolved into a star on the grass with graded stakes wins at Keeneland and Churchill Downs as he now looks for his second Grade 1 win in his career and his first Grade 1 win on the Turf. He meets the winner of Arlington Million 2025 Fort Washington as well as a deep group of six other competitors fighting for the $1-million prize.

How much of your future is actually yours?In part one of the Psychological Sovereignty series, I explore one of the most subtle ways people influence our lives: by planting fears, predictions, and imagined futures into our minds until we begin making decisions that were never truly our own.I discuss:• Why the burden of proof belongs to the person making the claim.• How fear quietly redirects your decisions.• The danger of living to prove other people wrong.• Why protecting your attention is the foundation of psychological sovereignty.• How “planted futures” become self-fulfilling prophecies.• Why peace, joy, and playfulness are acts of resistance in a world constantly competing for your mind.The greatest threat to your freedom isn't always force.Sometimes it's simply accepting someone else's imagination as your own.This is Part One of a new series on reclaiming the most valuable territory you possess: Your mind.⸻If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and share it with someone who needs to hear it.Instagram: @joli.artistWebsite: joliartist.com/portal#PsychologicalSovereignty #Mindset #SimulationTheory #Philosophy #CriticalThinking

Is your healing journey out of balance? ⚖️✨ In this week's episode of Holistic Inner Balance, we are tearing down the rigid walls of conventional therapy and reclaiming the power of relational healing with the legendary Dr. Laurel Parnell! Dr. Parnell is a pioneer in the field of trauma recovery, the creator of Attachment-Focused EMDR, and a master therapist with over 40 years of experience integrating transpersonal psychology, Buddhist practices, and cross-cultural ancestral wisdom. Together, we're diving into how the mental health field has tipped too far into a left-brain, cognitive, purely "scientific" approach—and why we desperately need to bring the intuitive, relational feminine principle back into our healing spaces. In this episode, we talk about: • The Structure vs. The Flow: Why healing needs both the masculine "river banks" of clinical structure and the feminine "water" of intuitive connection. • Multidimensional Integrative Healing: Dr. Parnell's personal journey of healing after the tragic loss of her son, and how it led her to expand therapy beyond the physical body. • Spirit Release Work: Real-life clinical stories of helping clients release energetic blocks and ancestral trauma that conventional methods couldn't move. • Energetic Sovereignty: How to choose what energies you allow into your space and how to release what simply isn't yours. Your true, wise, awakened self is already inside of you—sometimes you just need the space to let it step forward.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at Microsoft's strategy for balancing AI innovation with local governance, culture, and national control. Highlights 00:04 — I want to start today with a quote from Natasha Crampton, Microsoft's Chief Responsible AI Officer. "AI sovereignty doesn't mean doing it alone." This quote stands out from an interview she recently gave on the sidelines of the UN AI for Good Summit in Geneva. 00:48 — Ultimately, Crampton, echoing Microsoft's stance, stated that nations should leverage the best global AI technologies while ensuring they're adapted to local laws, languages, cultures, and values. Crampton explains that AI sovereignty is about control, not isolation. It's about cross-border coordination whilst making sure that countries retain control over how AI is deployed, governed, and used. 01:18 — One of the main problems that Crampton highlights regarding AI sovereignty is how AI is widening the gap between developed and developing economies. She says we cannot let the digital divide become an even greater AI divide. She emphasized the importance of making these technologies more accessible to the Global South. 01:43 — She says that AI sovereignty is about making sure that local impact, local cultures, values, and norms are prioritized within AI systems while taking advantage of global technology. AI becomes far more valuable when it understands local languages and cultures rather than simply translating from English. 02:15 — Overall, Crampton laid out a clear and, I'd say, pretty unique vision for what AI sovereignty can be. It's also a clever position for Microsoft to take, saying to governments that choosing Microsoft doesn't mean giving up sovereignty because they can control the data, the governance, and the policies on Microsoft's global platforms.

Episode 4191 │ July 27, 2026 The math doesn't math. AI data centers demand a million gallons a day when closed-loop cooling already exists. The fight is about the water. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with a Tibetan Mastiff bite story from a rescue shelter and uses it to build the episode's central metaphor — corporations presenting themselves as domesticated poodles while carrying the bite strength of a mastiff, and the danger of approaching them with the same comfort you extend to a household pet — before moving into the two-layer domestic threat operating beneath the Iran war distraction: Executive Order 14318, signed July 23, 2025, directing the Department of Defense to fast-track AI data center infrastructure on military installations with waived environmental review and no community oversight, and the NDAA Section 217 amendment merging US and Israeli AI, quantum, robotics, cyber, and space defense development through what Scott names plainly as a publicly funded corporate shell. The centerpiece of the episode is the water question that most community-level resistance movements are missing — a single 20-megawatt AI data center can exceed a million gallons of water per day using evaporative cooling, while nuclear power plants generating far more heat run closed-loop systems at a fraction of that consumption, which means the water demand is not a technical necessity but a resource capture operation, confirmed by the XAI Memphis case where a promised $80 million aquifer protection plant was never built, the company continues drawing from a 2,000-year-old aquifer at 19 cents per 100 gallons against the 32 cents Memphis residents pay, and no legal obligation to complete the recycling plant exists. Scott closes with the release of the Community Sovereignty Framework v1.2 — a free downloadable templated action plan for community-level organized resistance linked below the episode — and the charge that the fight is not about stopping a building but about protecting the one resource without which no community, no farm, and no future exists. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What did Executive Order 14318 actually authorize — and why does directing the Department of Defense to fast-track AI data center infrastructure on military installations with waived environmental review mean that community-level city council resistance is structurally bypassed before the fight even begins? Why does the water math not math — and what does the comparison between nuclear power plants running closed-loop cooling at a fraction of the water consumption and AI data centers demanding a million gallons a day reveal about whether the water demand is a technical requirement or a resource capture operation? What is the Community Sovereignty Framework v1.2 — and why does Scott argue that the critical node every community resistance movement is missing is not the building permit, the noise ordinance, or the land use code, but independent subsurface monitoring of where the water goes once it enters the facility?

What happens when curiosity with the supernatural opens a door you can't close? In this intense, uncensored episode, TruthSeekah and Arien share their raw testimony of diving deep into dark witchcraft, spells, and the occult, only to find themselves tormented by shadow entities and demonic oppression. What started as seeking spiritual power quickly spiraled out of control.Their journey to find a safe haven and true spiritual freedom led them right into the doors of the Hosanna Assembly of God in Louisiana. Little did they know, this church would soon explode into national headlines as a cult, the very real scandal that inspired HBO's True Detective Season 1. From surviving an 8-foot shadow entity attack in an open field to coughing up blood and hitting absolute rock bottom, this is a story of extreme spiritual warfare. But more importantly, it is a story of radical redemption.Hear exactly how Jesus and the fire of the Holy Spirit provided instant deliverance, and how true Biblical mysticism differs from the dark traps of the occult.

One day, Jesus will rid the world of wickedness and bring peace to this troubled planet. What a glorious day that will be! -------- Thank you for listening! Your support of Joni and Friends helps make this show possible.     Joni and Friends envisions a world where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.

Phil Johnson • Selected Scriptures

-With Soochen Low   Betrayal can leave you feeling as though you have lost control over everything—your relationship, your future, your finances, and even your ability to trust yourself. You may question your judgment, second-guess every decision, and become so afraid of making another mistake that you stop moving forward altogether. But sovereignty is not about always knowing the right answer. It is about reclaiming your authority over your own life. In this episode, Lora Cheadle is joined by creative power business alchemist and sovereign leadership catalyst Soochen Low for a conversation about rebuilding self-trust, listening to your heart, reclaiming your financial power, and creating a life that belongs to you. Soochen shares her experience of leaving a controlling and emotionally abusive marriage after ten years of feeling that she was never doing, earning, or contributing enough. Although she had built successful businesses and generated significant income, she had allowed someone else's story about her worth to become more powerful than her own. Together, Lora and Soochen explore what it means to trust your heart after it has been broken—and why listening to your intuition does not guarantee that life will always be easy or painless. Sometimes your inner wisdom warns you away from something. Other times, it leads you directly into an experience that becomes part of your growth, awakening, and evolution. They also discuss the financial fear that often accompanies betrayal and why earning, receiving, and building wealth are not selfish. Money can become an expression of agency, creativity, generosity, and freedom. Reclaiming your financial power is not merely about making more money. It is about recognizing that you are capable of supporting yourself, directing your life, and making choices based on what is right for you. This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting until you feel completely certain, stop demanding perfection from yourself, and begin moving forward one choice at a time. Because becoming sovereign does not mean you will never make another mistake. It means the choices—and the life—are finally yours.   Top 3 Takeaways Your heart may not have betrayed you. After betrayal, it is common to believe that your intuition failed because you trusted someone who later hurt you. But you may have heard your inner wisdom and not yet understood it, or your path may have contained lessons and growth that you could not have anticipated. Rebuilding self-trust begins with curiosity and compassion rather than blaming yourself for what you did not know. Financial sovereignty is part of recovering yourself. Betrayal can create intense fears about money, security, and survival. Reclaiming your financial power means recognizing your ability to create, earn, receive, and make decisions for yourself. Money does not have to be associated with greed, selfishness, or proving your worth. It can support freedom, generosity, service, and choice.   Sovereignty is not perfection—it is agency. You do not have to know exactly how everything will turn out before you move. You are allowed to choose, make mistakes, change your mind, and choose again. Your power is not found in getting every decision right. It is found in knowing that you can respond, adjust, and continue creating a life that reflects who you are now.   Favorite Quotes “I thought I was going to crash and burn. But I didn't.

That You May Believe, Part 27  Inside Jesus' Inner Circle  John 13:21-38   John 13:21-38 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus' side, so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.     When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.' A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”     Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.    (I want this passage on the screen first, before I read the main passage)  John 20:30-31 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.    Family Hurt  Inside Jesus' Inner Circle  The RelationshipBetrayal The Relationship Example The Relationship Failure  John 13:21-22 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. John 13:23-24 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus' side, so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.     John 13:25-26 So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.    John 13:27  Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”    John 13:28-29 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.    John 13:30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.    THE RELATIONSHIP BETRAYAL   1.Sanctify your emotions.    John 13:21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”    John 13:18-19 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.    2.Trust in God's Sovereignty.    Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.     Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.    3. Be Gracious.    4. Pray in the midst of Spiritual Warfare.    John 13:27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”    Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.    Ephesians 6:18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,    Luke 22:31-32 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”    THE RELATIONSHIP EXAMPLE   John 13:31-32  When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.    John 2:4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”    John 7:30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.    John 8:20 These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.    John 12:23-24 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.    John 12:27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.    John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.    John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.'    John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”    Leviticus 19:18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.    Leviticus 19:34 You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.      1.Love with Self Sacrifice.   John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.    2. Love Unconditionally.   Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.    1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.    3. Love to forgive others.   Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.  4. Love to reconcile.   1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.    THE RELATIONSHIP FAILURE   John 13:36-37 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”     John 7:33-34 Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”    John 8:21 So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”    John 13:38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.      1.We will fail.   Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,    2.Abide   Abide = μἐνω    John 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.  3.Rest   Matthew 11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”     Matthew 5:23-24 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.  Respond | Connect | Next Steps The post John: That You May Believe appeared first on Charleston Baptist Church.

Episode 5: SovereigntyWhat does it really mean to own your life?In this episode, Lori and Stacey explore the concept of personal sovereignty—the right to make choices about your own body, your own beliefs, and your own path without surrendering your power to the expectations of others. Inspired by a simple story about body hair that opens the door to a much larger conversation, they examine how often we unconsciously give away our autonomy in pursuit of approval, acceptance, or conformity.From boundaries and self-acceptance to compassion, accountability, and mutual respect, this conversation challenges listeners to ask an important question:Am I living according to my own values, or someone else's?Because true freedom begins when we remember that every person has the right to govern themselves—and that honoring another person's sovereignty doesn't diminish our own.Join us as we invite you to wake the f*ck up to the power of living authentically.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Send us Fan MailKen Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison continue Romans in season 18, episode 21, finishing Romans 9:14–33 from the Revised Standard Version. They discuss Paul's “therefore/what shall we say” style of arguing against a fictitious objector and explore whether God is unjust in choosing whom to show mercy and whom to harden, using Moses, Pharaoh, and the potter-and-clay image. Rocky notes these passages support Calvinistic predestination but finds “how dare you question God” unsatisfying, explaining his move to Methodist/Arminian free-will theology while still stressing God's mystery and goodness and the legitimacy of asking questions. They cover Paul's Old Testament citations (Hosea and Isaiah) with historical context about Israel's division and Assyria's conquest, and conclude with Paul's main point: Gentiles attain righteousness by faith, while Israel stumbles by pursuing law-based works; salvation comes down to faith in Christ.00:00 Welcome and Heatwave 00:44 Romans 9 Reading 03:48 Is God Unjust 05:38 Mercy and Pharaoh 09:13 Potter and Clay 15:01 Wrath and Calling 17:22 Hosea and Isaiah Context 23:28 Faith Not Works Finale 26:29 Closing Thoughts 27:53 Sign OffNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Gregory Copley. The discussion centers on the fraying relationship between the U.S. and Canada. Copley explains how Canada is asserting its sovereignty by moving away from U.S. defense procurement, opting for Australian and Swedish technologies over American systems like the F-35, largely due to political alienation felt under the current administration.

When President Trump took office in January of 2025, he signed 26 executive orders on the first day. In that pile of executive orders was one entitled: Protecting the Meaning and Value of American American Citizenship.  In it, the president directed that federal officials were not to issue documents recognizing United States citizenship to anyone who is born in the country to illegal immigrants or legal migrants here in a temporary capacity. This practice, known as birthright citizenship, has gathered a lot of attention over the last few years for the immigration chaos it has created. Last month, the Supreme Court, in Trump v. Barbara, decided that the executive order was unconstitutional. Now, conservatives are looking for ways to preserve American sovereignty. Here to discuss some ideas for how to make that happen is Roger Severino, Vice President of Economics and Public Policy, here at the Heritage Foundation. --- Roger Severino on X: https://x.com/RogerSeverino_--- Email us at heritageexplains@heritage.org

On today's episode we discuss the ins and outs of the European Union and how it structurally, institutionally and ideologically reinforces its own legitimacy through “civil society” within current and prospective member states.Our guest is Thomas Fazi.Fazi is the author of the book The European Propaganda Machine: The Dark Side of NGOs, Media and Universities (2026) - (published in Italian).Book description:A topic no one talks about: for the first time, the apparatus through which the European Union has built, financed, and implemented a widespread system of control over public discourse is dismantled piece by piece. Through a documented analysis of the flows of money to NGOs, media, and universities, the text shows how European public resources are being used to generate artificial consensus, marginalize dissent, and promote an integrationist ideology presented as neutral and inevitable. What emerges is a portrait of a largely co-opted “civil society,” a structurally dependent media, and an academia transformed into a vehicle for political legitimacy. This investigation raises fundamental questions about the state of democracy in Europe and the increasingly blurred lines between information, activism, and propaganda.Thomas Fazi is a critically-acclaimed writer and journalist. His books include The Battle for Europe: How an Elite Hijacked a Continent — and How We Can Take It Back (Pluto Press, 2014), Reclaiming the State: A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World (co-authored with Bill Mitchell; Pluto Press, 2017) and The Covid Consensus: The Global Assault on Democracy and the Poor — A Critique from the Left (co-authored with Toby Green; 2023). His latest book, published in Italian, is The European Propaganda Machine: The Dark Side of NGOs, Media and Universities (2026). His articles have appeared in numerous online and printed publications. He is a columnist for the British magazine UnHerd and the American magazine Compact.Episode music:”სმა” - მინდა და ვთხრი

In this segment from The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius and co-host Lee discuss the growing influence of far-left and socialist ideology within the Democratic Party, highlighting streamer Hasan Piker's speech at the College Democrats convention where he wore a Mao-style suit and condemned party moderates. Servatius and Lee draw a contrast between the historical anti-communist stances of past Democratic leaders, such as John F. Kennedy, and current progressive efforts, including NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push to enforce International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants against foreign leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu. Examining a recent address by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Servatius argues that progressive rhetoric regarding international courts threatens American national sovereignty and sets a dangerous precedent for future extraditions of U.S. military personnel and political figures.

Matt Cohen is joined by John Ruffolo for another hard-hitting Tank Talks: The Rundown, covering the biggest stories shaping Canadian technology, venture capital, defence, and artificial intelligence. They break down TouchBistro's dramatic fall from Canadian tech darling to a roughly $100 million exit, examining how inflated valuations, founder transitions, and restrictive financing can leave a company with nowhere to go.The conversation also explores Dominion Dynamics' major defence technology funding round, Meta's $13 billion AI data centre investment in Alberta, and the growing open-weight AI movement that could threaten the business models and valuations of OpenAI, Anthropic, and other leading AI companies. John explains why foreign-owned infrastructure alone will not create true AI sovereignty or lasting economic value for Canada.Finally, Matt and John discuss Mark Carney's efforts to attract Saudi investment and whether renewed international interest in Canada will translate into real capital and economic growth. Listen to the full episode of Tank Talks: The Rundown for candid insights on startup valuations, Canadian defence technology, AI infrastructure, venture capital risk, and the decisions founders and investors must make before the market forces their hand.TouchBistro's $100M Exit: When Valuation Becomes a Trap (01:57)John breaks down how TouchBistro went from a promising Canadian tech company to a sale far below its expected value. He explains how inflated valuations, founder changes, and restrictive financing can leave a business with no room to recover.Canada's Defence Technology Gold Rush (10:06)Dominion Dynamics' major Series A signals growing investor interest in Canadian defence technology. John warns that the sector requires deep expertise, trusted government relationships, and strategic investors, not just capital chasing the latest trend.Meta's $13B Alberta AI Bet: Infrastructure or Sovereignty? (14:24)Meta's massive Alberta data centre could bring billions in investment, jobs, and energy demand to Canada. But John argues that the highest-value assets, the models, chips, data, and intellectual property, will still be owned outside the country.Open-Weight AI Could Change the Entire Market (18:14)Powerful open-weight AI models are giving startups alternatives to expensive closed platforms. Matt and John discuss whether this shift could weaken the business models of OpenAI, Anthropic, and other frontier AI companies.The AI Valuation Reckoning Is Getting Closer (20:32)John argues that many leading AI and technology companies are priced far ahead of their current economics. A public market correction could quickly drag down private startup valuations and force founders to accept difficult resets.Carney's Saudi Capital Push: Interest Is Not Investment (24:01)Mark Carney is working to attract Saudi and international investment into Canada. John believes Canada's global credibility has improved, but warns that meetings and interest mean little until they produce actual deals and committed capital.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

For over half a century official institutions have systematically denied the reality of UFO abductions while dismissing terrified witnesses as victims of hallucination or sleep paralysis. But what happens when the people forced to deal with the physical fallout are trained combat medics and frontline healthcare professionals? In this explosive episode veteran British Army medic and NHS paramedic Paul Ascough steps forward to break the silence of a lifetime.Having spent decades investigating the darkest corners of paranormal encounters as a long standing member of the British UFO Research Association Ascough reveals the chilling medical evidence that mainstream science refuses to touch. Listeners are taken behind the scenes of official military cover ups exploring how non human intelligence interacts with human biology in ways that blur the line between physical science and extra dimensional phenomena. Ascough brings unprecedented clinical authority to medic disclosure drawing from a career spent saving lives while secretly documenting Yorkshire UFO sightings. As a seasoned BUFORA researcher he argues that consciousness and high strangeness are fundamentally linked posing a direct threat to our everyday reality.Are we dealing with visiting extraterrestrials or something far more ancient and deceptive lurking right beneath our noses?

Charles Burton criticizes the lack of transparency regarding Chinese infiltration in the Canadian government.

We all experience stress. The real challenge isn't stress itself—it's whether we recover from it. Over time, chronic stress can quietly affect everything from inflammation and metabolism to sleep, digestion, and healthy aging. This week on The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with nervous system educator and HRV expert Salim Najjar to explore what heart rate variability (HRV) can reveal about your body's ability to recover from stress and build resilience.
