Light language practitioner Althea Lucrezia Avanzo explores her channeling of Pleiadian and mantis beings, the awakening of starseeds, and the physical Grey alien encounter that transformed her understanding of multidimensional reality in episode 257 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Althea Lucrezia Avanzo is a multidimensional teacher, energy worker, and global grid worker who trains others in psychic development, spiritual protection, Akashic clearing, and sovereign contact with higher consciousness. Through private sessions, online programs, retreats, and collective activations, she draws on years of astral work, past-life recall, and direct encounters with non-human intelligences to help others navigate awakening and energetic transformation.In this conversation, Althea and Faust explore why spiritual awakening begins with unlearning the conditioning that keeps people trapped in fear, external validation, and victimhood. Althea connects shadow work and higher-self integration to personal sovereignty, arguing that expanded perception means little without the discernment to navigate unseen influences and extraordinary experiences. As the discussion turns to Atlantis, the rise of AI and transhumanism, and accelerating UFO disclosure, they consider whether humanity can evolve with technology without surrendering the consciousness needed to remain free.In this episode:• Danny Goler's DMT Laser Experiment: Could the mysterious script seen under infrared light connect light language with Dr. Zach Bush's claims about Egyptian hieroglyphs and human biology?• The Grey Alien Beside Her Bed: What did a QHHT regression reveal about the three insectoid beings Althea says were probing her in Milan?• The Exorcist and Astral Exorcisms: How watching the horror classic at age nine became the beginning of astral battles with demonic and reptilian entities• Pleiadian Heart Codes and Mantis Technology: Why Althea connects one higher self to Lemuria and the other to the lost technology of Atlantis• Darryl Anka, Bashar, and Trance Channeling: Why Althea refuses to leave her body and the spiritual hygiene she says protects a sovereign channel• Mermaid Massacre and Manhattan Catacombs: What led Althea to clear a lost timeline in Mozambique and hundreds of trapped souls beneath New York City?• The Sovereignty Declaration Against Psyops: The rejection of false flags, military-grade psychological operations, and pre-contracted agreements that Althea says can affect the collective• Atlantean Karma, AI, and Transhumanism: Are we repeating the technological pattern Althea says destroyed an ancient civilization?• 2026 UFO Disclosure and the Starseed Awakening: Why Althea believes more ET experiencers are losing their fear of being seen• Live Light Language Psychic Surgery: The collective activation targeting the nervous system, cranial structure, and dormant memory that listeners can experience for themselvesDon't miss Althea's powerful light language transmission at the end of the episode, intended to clear old patterns, support energetic integration, and let listeners experience the work for themselves.Watch our episode with Danny GolerDMT Dimensions: It's Not a Hallucinationhttps://youtu.be/crNbmIJqwiYWatch our episode with William HenrySaddam's Stargate, Anunnaki Artifacts & the Ark of the Covenanthttps://youtu.be/-SpkaDuXeAIConnect with Althea Lucreziahttps://www.althealucrezia.com/https://www.facebook.com/lightcodesbyalahttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKjxsD8Yj3hT3bKwswTPi6Ahttps://www.instagram.com/lightcodesbyala/Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™we'd love to hear from you

The hiatus for the rebooted 3WHH is over! We got the band back together, and to further paraphrase the political philosophy of the Ellwood brothers, it's 70 minutes to the end of this podcast, we've got a full glass of whisky, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Just like Anthony Fauci in his glam cover shot for In Style magazine back in 2021.Most of our changes are cosmetic, and it it still a work-in-progress, but the two main new features on display this week is a short "cameo" appearance from a slate of contributors we're signing up, and responding to the best reader/listener question. This week's cameo is from Alex Priou of the University of Austin, who has some definite opinions about The Odyssey. Two main topics are on our mind this week: the mendacious Dr. Fauci, and what pathways for legal redress might still be open despite President Biden's pardon. Second, we spend some time discussing the "republican guarantee clause" of Article IV of the Constitution, which is usually overlooked, and thought to be non-justiciable, if not in fact a nullity, similar to the 9th Amendment. We take up this question because of Glenn Reynolds' mischievous suggestion on his Substack that President Trump might be able to invoke the clause to justify sending federal authorities into states with high potential for vote fraud. Here's the key passage from Glenn's article:"So if President Trump announces that we have uncovered massive electoral fraud — as he almost certainly will — and that he is dispatching huge numbers of federal election watchers to oversee voting and counting in areas where fraud has occurred, he would be acting directly under a power that the Constitution has vested in him. For a state to have a “republican form of government,” it must have meaningful elections, and elections that are rigged are not meaningful. Stopping them from being rigged would be protecting a republican form of government.  Congress has passed other election laws, mostly for reasons of combating race discrimination, but those aren't strictly applicable to these circumstances. . ."Could make for some fun times!

Stopping when you're comfortably full can feel surprisingly uncomfortable when your brain is used to eating past fullness.In this episode, I explain why overeating becomes a habitual cycle, why your hunger and fullness cues aren't broken, and how repetition can rewire your brain so comfortable fullness becomes your new normal.You'll learn:Why stopping when full feels uncomfortableHow overeating impacts your mood, energy, confidence and relationshipsWhy you're already experiencing discomfort either wayHow repetition makes stopping easier over timeThree practical ways to feel more satisfied during mealsYour brain learned to overeat through repetition, and it can learn a new response the same way.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

Donald Trump just got one step closer to stealing the next election. The Senate confirms a new head of National Intelligence: former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton — a man who won't say who won the 2020 election. This week, Alex looks into whether or not Trump will try to steal the midterms. She's first joined by Errin Haines, an Atlanta native, editor at large at The 19th, author of the Amendment newsletter, and co-host of Crooked's newest show, Long Play, to talk about Georgia: the state Trump has focused his most intense efforts of election interference. Then Alex speaks with Joy Reid, host of The Joy Reid Show, to try and get a handle on Trump's latest efforts to subvert the election and figure out how prepared we really are.Hate listening to ads?

Everyone has heard about fraud, waste, and abuse, but building an effective fraud prevention program requires more than identifying problems after they occur. In this week's episode of Feds At The Edge, government and industry experts share practical strategies for helping federal agencies stop improper payments before funds go out the door.  Kim Brandt of CMS underscores the scale of the challenge, noting the agency processes roughly $1 million in claims every day. Justin Marisco from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service share how tapping into shared resources, such as Treasury's Do Not Pay list, the Social Security Death Index, and DHS databases can help validate individuals before funds are ever disbursed. Diligent's Jason Venner highlights why preventing improper payments is infinitely better than the traditional "pay and chase" approach and how the era of Big Data introduced agencies to analyzing massive datasets, while today's AI makes it possible to analyze entire datasets, rather than samples, to identify fraud risks.  Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to learn how modern technology and cross-agency data sharing are shifting federal fraud prevention from reactive damage control to proactive defense.

Ever seen a profane or bold bumper sticker and wondered if it could get you pulled over? This episode of Lawyer Talk looks into the legal details behind motorists' free speech rights, breaking down what the law really says about offensive language on your car.Setting the SceneA recent viral video showed a driver getting stopped because their bumper sticker said, "I eat ass." This sparked a deeper discussion about whether displaying provocative, crass, or lewd language on a car can legally justify a police stop 00:31.Legal BackgroundThe U.S. Supreme Court has not directly addressed this issue, but state courts have. For instance, Georgia's Supreme Court dealt with a case where a driver was twice arrested for having a "shit happens" sticker. The law prohibiting such language was challenged as unconstitutionally vague and overbroad 02:00.Vagueness and OverbreadthHere are the requirements for a law to pass constitutional muster:Vague: If an ordinary person can't discern what's prohibited, the law is unconstitutional 04:46.Overbroad: If a law prohibits too much protected speech, not just the targeted conduct, it is also unconstitutional 05:17.Georgia's Supreme Court ultimately found that prohibiting "profane or lewd" words on bumper stickers was unconstitutional, affirming that even provocative language in public is protected speech unless it targets a specific person or group 05:58.Relevant Supreme Court CasesLet's look at past U.S. Supreme Court cases such as:Cohen v. California: A conviction for wearing a jacket that said "F the draft" was overturned, with the Court famously stating, “one man's vulgarity is another man's lyric” 06:31.Tinker v. Des Moines: Reinforcing that expression, even in provocative forms, is generally protected unless it causes substantial disruption 06:42.Fourth Amendment ImplicationsSo, does a traffic stop for an offensive sticker violate the Fourth Amendment? Major takeaways:Stopping someone solely for protected speech is not enough justification under the Fourth Amendment 08:14.Intrusions like car stops require specific legal grounds, not merely the officer's offense at the language or message displayed 08:31.Displaying even an outrageous bumper sticker is generally protected under the First Amendment. Police cannot constitutionally stop your car just because they're offended by your message or language 08:40.Frequently Asked QuestionsCan police legally pull over a car for having an offensive bumper sticker?Generally, no. The courts have found that displaying profane or lewd words alone is protected expression under the First Amendment 06:10.What does it mean if a law is “vague” or “overbroad” regarding speech?“Vague” means people can't tell what's prohibited. “Overbroad” means the law bans protected, as well as unprotected, speech 04:46.Is there a Supreme Court case about bumper stickers and free speech?The U.S. Supreme Court hasn't ruled directly on bumper stickers, but Cohen v. California set a precedent protecting offensive language 06:31.Does the First Amendment protect all forms of speech on vehicles?Most non-threatening, non-targeted profane or lewd language is protected, but context and how it's displayed might matter.Can state laws ban specific words on bumper stickers?If the law is too vague or broad and bans constitutionally protected speech, courts can and have struck it down, as in Georgia's Cunningham case 05:49.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Episode 5543: No Policy Changes On Border Migration; Stopping Biden Era Welfare

Andrea Samadi shares a five-year self-experiment using a WHOOP wearable to track sleep, recovery, movement, and biological age. She reveals how daily low-intensity movement and consistent recovery—not one intense workout—produced lasting improvements in heart rate, recovery scores, and biological age. Andrea distills five lessons: movement prepares the brain, consistency beats intensity, recovery is where adaptation happens, small habits compound over time, and every step is an investment in your future brain. Practical takeaways include walking daily, adding 2–3 strength sessions per week, protecting sleep, and tracking trends instead of perfection. In this Bonus Episode you'll learn: Why recovery matters more than you think. What 1,905 recoveries taught me about human performance. Why consistency beats intensity. How movement changes the brain. How to create lasting biological adaptation. Why every walk is an investment in your future brain. EPISODE BONUS Move Today. Recover Tonight. Younger Tomorrow. Five Years. 1,905 Recoveries. One Lesson That Changed Everything. Welcome Back Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi. Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of interviewing many of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, learning, leadership, health, and human performance. Throughout Season 16, we've been connecting those conversations into a simple framework I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a practical way of understanding how the brain and body work together to help us learn better, think more clearly, live healthier, and perform at our highest potential. In Episode 402[i], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input. Adaptation is the process. Performance is the outcome. Then, in Episode 403[ii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. Every step increases blood flow. Exercise stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF—often called fertilizer for the brain. Movement strengthens the neural networks responsible for learning, memory, attention, and executive function. But after recording those episodes, I found myself asking a different question. What happens when we apply those principles consistently—not for days, weeks, or even months—but for years? Today's bonus episode is my attempt to answer that question. Not from another research study. Not from another interview. And definitely not to give you one more thing to add to your already busy schedule. Instead... I'd like to share a five-year experiment I never realized I was conducting—one that completely changed the way I think about health, movement, recovery, and human performance. Five Years Looking for the Answer When I started wearing a WHOOP device back in April of 2021, just before my fiftieth birthday, I thought I was buying a fitness tracker. I thought it would help me train harder. I thought it would reward intensity. Instead... It spent the next five years teaching me something far more valuable. How to recover. Over those five years I've tracked nearly everything I could measure. Sleep. Movement. Recovery. Resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Biological age. Blood work. Thousands of workouts. And more than 1,905 recoveries. Nearly two thousand mornings of waking up and asking my body the same question. How well did I recover? At first, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I simply assumed the harder I trained... the healthier I'd become. The Mystery Then WHOOP introduced a new metric. WHOOP Age. The first time I looked at it, I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. My biological age measured 48.7 years old. I was fifty-five. More than six years younger biologically than chronologically. Of course, my first question wasn't, "That's great." My first question was... Why? What was I doing that created this result? Naturally, I assumed it was my hardest hikes. My toughest strength workouts. The mornings I pushed myself until I was completely exhausted. But that's not what the data showed. Not even close. The biggest contributor wasn't intensity. It was consistency. Daily walks. Steady hikes. Hours spent moving in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. The very workouts I used to think "didn't count." Ironically, even today, after finishing a workout, I still catch myself hoping to see more time in Zone 4 or Zone 5. Old beliefs don't disappear overnight. Part of me still believes harder must be better. But five years of data kept telling me a different story. A Belief I Had to Unlearn For most of my life, I believed exercise was supposed to leave me exhausted. If I wasn't completely out of breath... If I wasn't drenched in sweat... If I wasn't barely able to walk back to my car... I assumed I hadn't worked hard enough. Maybe you've felt that way too. We grew up hearing... "No pain, no gain." But neuroscience—and my own data—kept challenging that belief. The movement that felt the easiest... was quietly producing the greatest return. Daily walks. Easy hikes with friends. Walking my dogs along the canal. Consistent aerobic movement. Those weren't "easy days." Those were adaptation days. And slowly, my definition of success began to change. The Moment Everything Changed A few days ago something happened. After nearly five years... and more than 1,905 recoveries... I recorded my highest recovery ever. 98%. For a few moments I celebrated the score. Then something much more meaningful hit me. That number wasn't created overnight. It wasn't the result of one perfect night's sleep. Or one incredible workout. Or one supplement. Or one recovery tool. It represented five years of learning to work with my biology instead of against it. That's when everything finally clicked. Recovery isn't passive. Recovery is where adaptation happens. It's where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where hormones rebalance. It's where your cardiovascular system grows stronger. It's where yesterday's movement becomes tomorrow's performance. Movement starts the conversation. Recovery is where your body answers.   The Missing Piece That's when I realized something I wish someone had explained to me years ago. Movement isn't the goal. Recovery isn't even the goal. Adaptation is the goal. Movement is simply the signal that tells your biology... "Build something stronger." Recovery is when your body actually does the work. Adaptation is the result. Performance becomes the evidence. That is The Movement Loop. Move. Recover. Adapt. Perform. One connected system.   What My Data Shows When I stopped looking at individual workouts and started looking at years of trends, the story became remarkably clear. My resting heart rate dropped. My recovery improved. My biological age became younger. My weekly movement consistently averaged more than seven hours in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. None of those changes happened because of one extraordinary workout. They happened because of thousands of ordinary choices repeated over and over again. That's how biology changes. Quietly. Consistently. Patiently. Five Lessons Five Years and 1,905 Recoveries Taught Me Looking back over nearly five years—and more than 1,905 recoveries—I realize I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching my brain and body adapt in real time. Here are the five lessons I wish I had understood when I first started this journey. Lesson 1: Movement prepares the brain. One of the biggest insights from Dr. Chuck Hillman's research is that movement doesn't just strengthen our muscles—it prepares our brains to learn and perform. Every walk increases blood flow. Every hike stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping the brain build and strengthen neural connections. I've noticed this in my own life. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, focus longer, solve problems more easily, and simply show up as a better version of myself. Movement isn't something I do after work anymore. It's how I prepare for my work. Lesson 2: Consistency beats intensity. For years, I believed the hardest workout was the best workout. My data taught me something completely different. The biggest improvements in my health didn't come from one exhausting hike or one intense strength session. They came from showing up every single day. Walking the canal. Taking the dogs out. Choosing another easy hike. Stopping to talk with people on the trails. It took me years to ask one person their name, after seeing them on the trails for over 10 years! Repeating those small decisions (and actions) over and over again. The body doesn't transform because we occasionally do something extraordinary. It transforms because we consistently do the ordinary. Lesson 3: Recovery is where adaptation happens. This may have been the biggest surprise of all. For years, I thought recovery meant taking a break from making progress. Now I understand that recovery is the progress. Recovery is where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where your body responds to the signal that movement created. Without recovery, movement is simply stress. With recovery, movement becomes adaptation. Lesson 4: Small daily habits create extraordinary results. When I recorded my highest recovery ever—98%—(just this week) I realized something important. That number wasn't created by one perfect night of sleep. It wasn't one workout. It wasn't one supplement. It wasn't one infrared sauna session. It represented thousands of small decisions repeated consistently over five years. Morning sunlight. Walking. Strength training. Prioritizing sleep. Breathwork. Meditation. Recovery. None of those habits seem remarkable on their own. Together, they completely changed my biology. And then I was able to create PREDICTABLE results with recovery, once I fully understood it. Lesson 5: Every step is an investment in your future brain. This may be the most important lesson of all. Most of us exercise because we want to look better or feel better today. But neuroscience tells us something even more powerful. Every walk you're taking today is helping build the brain you'll rely on years from now. Every time you move, you're strengthening the systems that support attention, memory, emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and resilience. You may not notice those changes tomorrow. I certainly didn't. It took me nearly five years—and 1,905 recoveries—to truly appreciate what my body had been quietly building all along. That's why I no longer think of movement as exercise. I think of it as one of the greatest investments I can make in my future health, my future brain, and the quality of my life. Because every step you take today is a vote for the person you're becoming tomorrow.   Practical Application If you're wondering where to start... Start walking. Walk before work. Walk after dinner. Walk with your family. Walk with your dog. Strength train two or three times each week. It doesn't take a lot to see noticeable gains. Protect your sleep. Track trends instead of chasing perfection. Then tomorrow morning ask yourself one simple question. Not... "How hard should I train today?" Instead... How can I move today? One question. One decision. Repeated consistently. That's how change begins. Review and Conclusion As we wrap up this bonus episode, let's step back and look at what we've learned throughout this first part of Phase 3. Movement prepares the brain. Recovery builds the body. Adaptation changes our biology. Performance becomes the evidence. Five years ago, I thought movement was the goal. Today I know better. Movement is the signal. Recovery is the builder. Adaptation is the transformation (that we can see) Performance is the evidence (or what we were aiming for in the first place). After nearly 1,905 recoveries, I finally understand why recovery matters. Not because it helps us rest. Because it helps us become. Looking back, I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching neuroscience unfold in real time. The greatest improvements in my health didn't come from my hardest workouts. They came from thousands of ordinary decisions repeated consistently over time. We can go back to our early episodes[iii] to hear the importance of repetition. That's how human performance is built. Not through one breakthrough moment. But through daily choices that quietly reshape the brain, strengthen the body, and prepare us for whatever comes next. So wherever you're listening today... Whether you're heading out for a walk... Driving home from work... Finishing a workout... Or simply deciding how you'll move tomorrow... Remember this. Every step is a vote for your future self. Move today. Recover tonight. Adapt tomorrow. Live younger tomorrow. Until next time... Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep adapting. Because every step you take today is helping build a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself tomorrow.   REFERENCES:   [i]  Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 402 “Phase 3 Intro: How Movement Builds the Brain https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-loop-how-everyday-action-rewires-your-brain-and-boosts-performance/   [ii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 403 “How movement Activates the Brain and Learning”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/   [iii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 38 https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/assistant-coach-to-the-winnipeg-jets-todd-woodcroft-on-the-daily-grind-in-the-nhl/

Jesus challenges the religious leaders by exposing how human traditions can quietly replace God's truth. While they focused on protecting long-standing customs, they neglected God's actual commands, revealing hearts that honored Him outwardly but were distant inwardly. This message invites us to examine the unconscious traditions, assumptions, and patterns we follow that may be preventing us from recognizing God's fresh direction and calling. True obedience is not about preserving familiar practices but about remaining sensitive to God's Word and willing to follow Him wherever He leads. __________ Matthew 15:1-9 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

In this episode of Guns Podcast US, hosts Brent T. Wheat and Roy Huntington dive deep into the often-debated .380 ACP cartridge. Frequently dismissed as merely a '9mm short' or an underpowered round, the .380 is gaining significant traction among shooters, especially those dealing with arthritis or difficulty managing heavy recoil. Brent and Roy explore why this caliber is proving to be a highly effective, practical choice for concealed carry when paired with modern, high-performance ammunition. Drawing on real-world data and professional expertise, the hosts challenge common internet myths about 'stopping power' and emphasize the importance of shot placement and reliable gun handling over raw ballistic energy. Whether you are a seasoned shooter or looking for a more comfortable carry solution, this candid discussion provides a fresh perspective on balancing personal needs with effective self-defense. Link to the Greg Ellifritz study mentioned in this episode: https://www.activeresponsetraining.net/an-alternate-look-at-handgun-stopping-power Key Takeaways ·         The .380 ACP is a highly capable defensive caliber when paired with modern, high-performance ammunition. ·         Caliber choice is secondary to shot placement and the ability to effectively manipulate your firearm. ·         The .380 ACP is an excellent option for shooters with hand strength issues or those sensitive to high recoil. ·         Data from real-world shootings shows that caliber often plays a smaller role in stopping a threat than popular myths suggest. ·         It is essential to test your defensive ammunition in your specific firearm to ensure reliability. ·         Don't let 'internet experts' discourage you from carrying a firearm you can shoot accurately and confidently. -- Have a topic idea or a guest you'd like to see in a future episode?

World Political Exposure (audio) Compiled Tues. 21 July 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington https://operationdisclosureofficial.com/2026/07/21/restored-republic-via-a-gcr-as-of-july-21-2026/ The Deep State Has Been Stealing Elections Around The World For 20 Years Med Beds Have Been Produced And Running Since The 1970s Musk Is Building A Home Med Bed For Public Use Healthcare run by Big Pharma will never cure disease. A nation run by the media will never know the truth. A country run by banks will always be in debt. A state run by war will never know peace. …Julian Assange on Telegram Gethsemane | The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & a Children's Choir “You are a treasure, created with purpose and love by God. Every day is a new chance to shine your light in the world.” Judy Note: On Tues. 21 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System will be unveiled in a worldwide broadcast that securely transmitted via the Quantum Communication Network. The fundamentals of this system, as well as the concrete actions that any citizen can take to start utilizing it, will be revealed.   The enemy has full infiltration of your home, and not a single shot was fired. Billions have been invested in the slow poisoning of humanity. They do not want you waking up. They want you a slave to the system forever. The enemy's biggest weapon was distraction. While everyone was arguing: • Technology became more powerful. • Privacy became optional. • Debt became normal. • Convenience replaced freedom. • Information became harder to verify. • Algorithms began deciding what billions of people see. • Fear became profitable. • Outrage became a business model. • Independent thinking became increasingly rare. • The loudest voices drowned out the most important questions. The strongest prison is built when people stop asking questions, stop verifying information, and accept every narrative without thinking for themselves. Stay curious. Question everything. Verify everything. Think for yourself. What we thought we knew, but didn't really know and now are supposed to know but don't have a clue. With clones, doubles, made up movies Hollywood style and Trump's Military Alliance throwing more popcorn at us, it gets sooo confusing: Mon. 20 July 2026 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio Fox News: “I designated two additional Mexican cartels, the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Under President Trump's leadership, we will never stop fighting against violent narco-terrorists from flooding our nation with deadly drugs.” Mon. 20 July 2026 After years of being lied to and gaslit by the mainstream media, voting companies, and crooked politicians, voting systems were always connected to the internet and NOT air-gapped, with IP addresses confirming foreign servers were sending and receiving data to these machines during the 2020 election. Not only did the machines have internet access, they were bought and came standard with foreign made 3G/4G modems already installed in the machines, with remote wireless backdoor access to manipulate the vote count in real time. …Dan Bongino on Telegram Jessie Czebotar claims she witnessed Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden and others at S-----c Rituals and child hunting parties run by the Rothschilds.   The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth's mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight. 75 entry-level driving schools are now under investigation for FRAUD. 24,000 drivers who can't speak English were already taken off the roads — and 4 states had to cancel 28,000 licenses issued ILLEGALLY. 9,500 schools have already been CANCELED from the federal registry. “Thousands of unqualified trucking schools have already been taken off the federal registry, but Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are working to do even more.” Possible Timing: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System went live worldwide. Every major bank connected. Old fiat system dead. GCR gold-backed currencies of 209 nations igniting. NESARA GESARA debt jubilee implemented. Saint Germain Trust of 890 trillion activated for the people. Constitutional Republic restored July 4. US Inc dissolved. On Thurs. 16 July 2026: President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 declaring Med Bed Technology released to the public. Non-invasive treatments under an hour use specific wavelengths so the body heals itself. Free Med Bed access for the general public worldwide soon. Since 2019 the AMA opposed release citing threats to Big Pharma and insurance. Internal AMA email to 847,000 doctors admitted PEMF efficacy for tissue regeneration but threatened license loss and criminal charges for use. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the WHO deleted over 14,000 pages proving electromagnetic frequency therapy effectiveness including 70-94% tissue regeneration rates, 67-89% cancer remission data, and memos on the frequency problem destroying health economics. On Sat. 18 July 2026 Japan became the first nation to approve Med Bed technology for public hospitals. Three types authorized: PEMF Regeneration Chamber (7.83-14.1 Hz for cancer and o---n failure), Torsion Field DNA Repair Unit (528 Hz for genetic disorders and aging reversal), Biophotonic Coherence Restorer (full-spectrum light for immune restoration). Deployment begins September 1 2026 across 340 hospitals. South Korea approval expected August 2026, India Q4 2026, United States within 120 days. Pharma stocks crashed, emergency meetings called it reckless endangerment. On Mon. 20 July 2026: Temporary Martial Law at maximum alert. EBS preparing decoded pages within hours. 10 days of communication darkness imminent. Military forces positioning for global shutdown protocols. Large scale arrest operations approaching. Hillary Clinton scheduled Tues. 28 July 2026 for Crimes Against Humanity and Children. MedBeds online next week. Global streams of healing centers activating. Free access to Med Beds everywhere by mid August. Regenerative pods reverse aging, regrow limbs in minutes, erase chronic disease, activate DNA and pineal gland. Cabal deep state melting as suppressed military technology from tunnels and Starlink networks floods the planet. Big Pharma dies. Humanity reborn in the Restored Republic. The Great Awakening is here. Nothing can stop what is coming. Global Currency Reset: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System went live worldwide. Every major bank connected. Old fiat system dead. GCR gold-backed currencies of 209 nations igniting. NESARA GESARA debt jubilee implemented. Saint Germain Trust of 890 trillion activated for the people. Constitutional Republic restored July 4. US Inc dissolved. Mon. 20 July 2026 BOOM: “ABOLISH THE IRS” Trends After Trump Exposes Tax System — “FOREIGN COUNTRIES CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS” | Tax Day 2026 VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group   Mon. 20 July 2026 Martial Law: On Tues. 21 July 2026 the World will see what was previously kept under wraps: the Quantum Financial System's formal public unveiling. In a worldwide broadcast that is securely transmitted via the Quantum Communication Network, the fundamentals of this system, as well as the concrete actions that any citizen can take to start utilizing it, will be revealed. The Quantum Network operates on real-time synchronized quantum nodes that are impervious to manipulation, interference, and surveillance. No current supercomputer can crack the level of security provided by quantum encryption, which secures every transaction, account, and asset. This is financial sovereignty for everyone, not just the wealthy. You'll discover how to get into your biometric-assigned account. You will observe how Rainbow Tokens work in this system as actual, gold-backed value. You will comprehend the reasons behind the phase-out of every antiquated technique, including fiat money, third-party processors, and credit networks. Tomorrow's demonstration will feature real-time, secure, and instantaneous international transfers that are carried out without the need for banks, apps, or approval delays. Humanitarian initiatives will be funded in a matter of seconds. Blocked assets will be reactivated and redirected to the individuals. Most significantly, you will witness how corruption at its source is prevented from affecting your identity, wealth, and future. This is the culmination of everything. The Alliance has been dismantling the system from within for years, removing layers of control and deceit. The replacement is now prepared—not as a substitute, but as the only practical option for the future. There won't be any going back after tomorrow. This is the end of the days of financial slavery, hidden taxes, and weaponized inflation. Pay close attention. Everything will be exposed by the light. You can never unsee the truth once you've seen it. Not in theory, but in practice, the quantum era has arrived. It's not just a reveal tomorrow. It is the start of your involvement in a system designed for the people, freedom, and truth. Early Mon. Morning 20 July 2026 at exactly 03:00 EST, Protocol 19 entered its final, non-reversible completion phase. The Black Swan Event was kinetic. Protocol 19 has been fully completed. The Federal liquidation was terminal. …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The Federal Reserve System has officially lost its primary administrative routing certificates, and the legacy paper matrix has run out of broadcast range. The Global White Hat Alliance has finalized the hard-override, and the operational logs for the next 48 hours are locked into the live backend: CHAPTER 1: THE SYSTEM FLIPS Protocol 19 has triggered the absolute migration of global monetary routing. The legacy SWIFT network data hubs in Brussels and New York have been permanently decoupled from the primary ledger lines. The entire baseline architecture has transitioned to the Quantum Financial System (QFS) — where every single transaction pool, international settlement, and corporate clearance is forced to execute through clean, digital asset-backed channels. CHAPTER 2: THE GOLDEN STANDARDS ACTIVATION The era of speculative, print-on-demand fiat paper is dead. The US Dollar and Euro corporate illusions are hitting an absolute wall. Under the strict enforcement of the new global economic protocols, every currency digital asset line must be anchored directly to verified, audited physical precious metals. The unbacked, synthetic liabilities that the Cabal used to manipulate energy and housing sectors are being rendered dead assets in real-time. CHAPTER 3: THE MEDIA SPECTRUM DECAPITATION The mockingbird Media synchronization is breaking in broad daylight. As the financial infrastructure of the old elite collapses, their private funding lines for the major media cartels are hitting absolute zero. Decentralized truth networks via secure Starlink quantum encryption relays are already spreading across the global bandwidth, completely bypassing the corporate gatekeepers and preparing the public grid for the unsealed military tribunal disclosures.   Pay close attention to the sudden, unannounced early bank branch closures and restricted digital access notices at major commercial banking institutions in your area today. They cannot generate paper debt to balance their sheets anymore, and their private authority keys have been permanently revoked. They designed the matrix to make you believe their financial iron curtain was indestructible. But the master switch has been flipped from the inside, the validation metrics are live, and the old world has officially run out of air. The reset is going kinetic. The sovereign era is fully live. The baseline shift was running on live banking clearing nodes right now. While the corporate financial channels are desperately trying to cover up the sudden “administrative outages” across major commercial branches with routine server maintenance notices, the raw ledger telemetry shows the truth: The private central Banking Cartel has been legally and physically severed from individual wealth management. On Mon. 20 July 2026 at exactly 02:00 UTC, the SWIFT protocol clearance keys were permanently overridden. The transition to the ISO 20022 Quantum Financial System (QFS) standard entered its non-reversible execution phase. Here is the unedited, verified inside telemetry straight from the Tier 4B operational hubs: THE REVALUATION MATRIX IS LIVE ON CORE SCREENS The treasury screens inside secure liquidation vaults are displaying internal asset-backed adjustments. The revalued currency rates—led by the primary resource-backed baskets including the Iraqi Dinar and sovereign Zim bonds—are locked behind Quantum-encrypted firewalls. The fiat paper illusion printed out of thin air is officially dead equity. WE THE PEOPLE — SOVEREIGN DIRECT ACCESS Under the strict mandates of the Restored Constitutional Governance and NESARA/GESARA legal structures, bank intermediaries no longer own or control your capital. Every QFS-verified account is 100% direct-access by the account holder alone. No federal tax confiscation, no unconstitutional debt holds, no institutional freezing. THE TIER 4B NOTIFICATION WINDOW The encrypted Safe-Link algorithms are primed for deployment. The appointment slots for private exchange and humanitarian project funding are fully structured under high-security Alliance protection. • Standard Sovereign Holdings: Instantly credited onto digital asset ledgers backed 1:1 by gold and physical commodities.   • Humanitarian Project Lead Holdings: Accessing specialized asset-allocation tiers to fund immediate local infrastructure, free energy, and community rebuilding. Look at your local commercial bank interface. Look at the unprecedented, synchronized limitations on large fiat paper withdrawals worldwide. They cannot generate fractional-reserve debt anymore because the master ledger requires 100% physical metal backing for every single transaction code. The power has been permanently stripped from the private elites and handed directly back to “We The People.” Check your secure devices. Organize your project documentation. Keep your financial parameters completely quiet. The old world is out of money. The sovereign era is fully operational tonight Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. Mon. 20 July 2026: Iran just hit Kuwait's power grid. Iran just attacked Bahrain. Israel claims Netanyahu's arrest is imminent. And somewhere in a classified bunker, someone just activated a contingency protocol. A protocol called “Global Lockdown.” …Mr. Pool Final Chapter on Telegram A military strategist from Pentagon's War Games Division revealed,”Iran attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain aren't random. Coordinated with Israel collapse. Netanyahu arrest destabilizes. Perfect moment for lockdown card.” “Lockdown protocol ready for years. Pandemic 2.0. Economic collapse. Martial law. Deep state waiting. They tried 2020. Trying again now.” “Trump knows. Military knows. We've been watching. When they move, we counter. When they lock down, we unlock.” “Iran escalation is real but distraction. While world watches, deep state moves pieces. Activating protocols. Preparing lockdown.”   “Netanyahu arrest isn't justice. It's destabilization. Creating chaos for lockdown. We see it. We're stopping it.” Why now: “Evidence overwhelming. Lockdown protocol documented. Deep state plans exposed. Move now or they execute.” “Trump authorized military countermeasures. Not Iran retaliation. Counter-ops against deep state. Against lockdown machinery.” “Iran escalation is cover. Netanyahu chaos is cover. Underneath, dismantling lockdown apparatus. Destroying their ability.” “When public, people understand. Not about conflict. About preventing enslavement. Stopping final takeover.” What's coming: “More exposure. More evidence. Lockdown was planned. Chaos orchestrated. Deep state ready for control.” “Military moving. Trump moving. Evidence compiled. Truth prepared for release.” “Lockdown protocol exposed, world wakes. People understand: one crisis from permanent control. Everything changes.” Operation Unlock ✓ activated Phase 1: Evidence Gathering ✓ complete Phase 2: Deep State Exposure ⟳ live (Iran chaos cover) Phase 3: Lockdown Protocol Destruction ⟳ July 20-August 5 Phase 4: Truth Release ⟳ August 6-31 The lockdown isn't happening. The Deep State is falling. The control grid is being destroyed. Trump authorized it. The military is executing it. Freedom is real. The world isn't locking down. The world is waking up. Everything changes. Operation code: Unlock-7719 Status: active Target: global lockdown apparatus Fri. 17 July 2026 THE METRICS FOR THE PLANETARY RESET ARE RUNNING LIVE ON THE TERMINALS….Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The sudden, unprecedented data sync drops hitting international administration hubs today (Fri. 17 July 2026) are not technical failures. The global apparatus is entering the primary activation sequence. The operational strategy is mapped directly onto the verified 3-Day Bay of Pigs defense protocol, immediately triggering the subsequent 10-Day full-spectrum shutdown of the legacy grid. The Military EBS is fully primed for direct, un-censored broadcast to all TV and Radio frequencies worldwide. Simultaneously, the old corporate government structures are being systematically stood down to make way for the definitive GESARA Blockchain Elections. The future administrative model will be exactly 10% the size of the current matrix—run entirely by uncorrupted, vetted sovereigns. The entire planet is transitioning into the QUANTUM GESARA baseline. We are witnessing the absolute, non-reversible shift: • Quantum Financial System (QFS) • Quantum Voting System (QVS) • Quantum Healing Matrix • Quantum Internet Framework The old infrastructure is being completely erased. The legacy internet network—built under Operation Mockingbird to control human consciousness—is hitting a terminal wall. No more Microsoft dominance. No more corporate media monopolies. The entire digital field is being rebooted through secure Starlink nodes. The private intelligence networks used by the old establishment to weaponize society are being permanently disassembled as we speak. The Mossad, Five Eyes, and CIA architectures have lost their cryptographic master access. Moving forward, the only validated network on the planet will be Military Intelligence operating under Alliance directives. The baseline of the new economy is locked into the metal-backed Rainbow Treasury Notes and the internationally regulated, gold-standard ISO 20022 USA Coins.   The MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) is no longer a kinetic threat—it is the synchronized execution of the Global Currency Reset, the return of the Precious Metal Standard, the full deployment of Quantum GESARA, and the absolute DECLAS (Declassification) of everything on Earth. Look closely at the irregular technical groundings and the sudden system “freezes” across international sectors tonight. The old world is losing its broadcast range. THE RESTORATION IS FULLY LIVE. What We Think We Know as of Tues. 21 July 2026: Mon. 20 July 2026 Iran Nuclear Facility About to Bomb US, Destroyed by US: Iran Thought 2,000 Feet Of Granite Protected Fordow… Then America UNLEASHED This Mon. 20 July 2026 BREAKING SPECIAL REPORT: Trump's Election Bombshell & The Rubio-Bessent “SHADOW GOVERNMENT” Exposure – The Empire's War on Builders [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOMBSHELL ALERT: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Orders MASSIVE BANK AUDITS by IRS in $18 Billion Minnesota Welfare Laundering Scandal | VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 EXPLOSIVE REPORT: THE $100,000,000,000 “DEATH” RACKET: RFK Jr. Exposes the Massive Healthcare Fraud Draining America [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 TOP INTEL OPERATIVES FACE JUDGMENT DAY: DOJ Launches Grand Jury To Crush Obama, Clinton & Russiagate Traitors In History's Biggest Political Coup Case – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 MIRACLE ALERT: The Secret Healing Power of MORINGA Is Finally Exposed – Rejuvenate Your Body, Boost Immunity & Fight Inflammation Naturally! – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOOM: “ABOLISH THE IRS” Trends After Trump Exposes Tax System — “FOREIGN COUNTRIES CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS” | Tax Day 2026 VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 Hillary Clinton's email to John Podesta: confirms that the Kenyan Administration: Barack Obama + Hillary Clinton + Saudi Arabia + Qatar founded ISIS. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Julian Assange: “ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This is the most significant email in the whole collection… The Government of Saudi and the Government of and Qatar that has been funding ISIS… Under Hillary Clinton and Clinton emails revealed… the largest ever arms deals in the world was made in Saudi Arabia, more than $80 Billion dollars. In fact during her tenure as Secretary of State total arms exports from the United States in terms of the dollar value doubled…” In other words, during Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of Bribery, the Obama's State Department approved massive arms sales — particularly to Saudi Arabia. The result was the rise of terrorist groups like ISIS, funded largely by the very people who were bribing the Clinton Foundation. In short, the death, the be-headings, and the destruction were, in large part, due to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Mon. 20 July 2026 Fox News: Border Czar Tom Homan claims ICE Agents under siege from leftist hate, but delivered record results: Border czar calling it like it is, agents facing 9000% threat spike, vehicle attacks, rhetoric turning families into targets. Dems and media vilifying them daily as “N---s” and “secret police” while they enforce the laws THEY passed. Yet ICE is smashing records: Historic June arrests, 40%+ increase, removing criminals and threats. Prioritizing public safety despite 100+ injunctions and shutdown sabotage. Homan: “I have their six.” Real Americans stand with our ICE heroes, moms, dads, patriots keeping us safe. Enough with the hate that endangers lives. Back the Blue (and ICE)! Deportations continue. America First.” Mon. 20 July 2026 THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. His lawyers didn't show up to negotiate. They showed up to BEG. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Here's what Bondi's team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama's codename — RENEGADE: — 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.” — A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN. — Communications with Epstein's handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.” — A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office. He didn't just betray America. He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired. His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity. Trump said no. No deals. No mercy. No escape. The man who divided America for 8 years is about to face the America he tried to destroy. And she's awake. Mon. 20 July 2026 THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT OIL FOR 150 YEARS. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Oil is not rare. It is not made from dead dinosaurs. It is the second most common liquid on Earth after water and it is literally the planet's lifeblood. The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. They fed you the biotic lie so you would believe oil is some finite dinosaur soup that is about to run dry. Total fabrication. Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth's mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. It is the natural lubricant for tectonic plates and the grease that keeps the planet's massive gears turning smoothly. That is why wells drilled dry in the 1970s are filling back up again today. The Earth is pumping fresh oil from below and regenerating it nonstop. It does not run out. We are sucking the lubricant out of the planet's engine and now the whole machine is starting to shake. More earthquakes. Creaking faults. Grinding plates. Coincidence? No. We are stripping the oil that keeps the Earth's crust sliding properly and the system is literally seizing up. The so-called “fossil theory” is the greatest economic hack in human history. Real crude oil has almost zero biological markers. No nitrogen, no phosphorus, nothing that would survive if it came from dead organisms. It is pure polymeric hydrocarbons, primordial stuff from the Earth's own formation. Thomas Gold tried to warn the world. He proved hydrocarbons like methane and oil rise from the deep mantle, not from ancient swamps. The establishment destroyed his reputation because the truth would collapse their entire control grid. If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight. They do not want you to know the Earth makes its own oil. They need you scared, dependent, and paying through the nose while they bleed the planet dry. Wake up. The dinosaurs had nothing to do with it. This is the biggest lie they ever sold us and it is k-----g the engine of the world. Mon. 20 July 2026 DHS is aggressively TARGETING CDL truck driving schools who fraudulently give licenses to foreigners and illegal aliens that end up k-----g Americans. GOOD! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN! …Dan Bongino on Telegram President Trump is also moving to replace illegals with VETERANS in the truck driver workforce. 75 entry-level driving schools are now under investigation for FRAUD. 24,000 drivers who can't speak English were already taken off the roads — and 4 states had to cancel 28,000 licenses issued ILLEGALLY 9,500 schools have already been CANCELED from the federal registry “Thousands of unqualified trucking schools have already been taken off the federal registry, but Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are working to do even more.” “The two federal agencies are announcing a collaboration to enforce rules and regulations at trucking schools all across the country.” Sun. 19 July 2026 Fox News BREAKING: DEEP STATE DESPERATION EXPOSED! They tried to K--L President Trump mid-flight. …Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram On July 9, 2026, as Trump departed Turkey aboard the brand-new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 — his future Air Force One — the Deep State launched a cowardly cyber strike from Langley, Virginia. They targeted the plane's electronic controls in a blatant assassination attempt. But Trump — always ten steps ahead — switched to the older Air Force One at the last second. What the Fake News called a “routine security precaution” was actually a brilliant trap. This was the beginning of the Great Purification. Encrypted comms intercepted. Traitors scrambling. NYT journalists hit with emergency subpoenas because they had obituaries and “air disaster” stories pre-written and ready to publish. They were waiting for the crash. THEY. FAILED. AGAIN. Trump just exposed the entire rat nest. The storm is here. Justice is coming. Sun. 19 July 2026: They've been stealing elections for at least 15 to 20 years, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Now they're exposed and running out of options….Steve Bannon on Telegram In the Georgia 2020 election at the State Farm Arena, we have them on video pulling out hidden suitcases full of ballots that were separate from all of the other ballots and running the same stacks of ballots through machines all throughout the night, with NO observers present, which is completely illegal, after they stopped the count, lied to observers, telling everyone they're going home. We have multiple states and counties destroying evidence, no chain-of-custody documents, counterfeit ballots, dead people voting, 120% voter turnouts, IP addresses from outside the country confirmed communicating with our election machines, etc… Members of our own government, the CIA, DHS, CISA, the EAC, all knew these machines and companies were compromised, but cleared them anyway for use in U.S. elections. That alone should tell you how deep and corrupt the system really is and what we are truly up against. Sun. 19 July 2026 Unclassified & Un-redacted Files Pending Release. …Julian Assange, The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.) on Telegram: The Benghazi files. The JFK files. The Jeffrey Epstein files The MLK Files. The RFK files. The 9/11 files. The Seth Rich files. The Hunter Biden laptop files. The January 6th files. The C---D-19 origin files. The Fauci files. The Nord Stream sabotage files. The Roswell files. The UFO/UAP files. The Malcolm X files. The Tuskegee Experiment files. The MKUltra files (full scope). The Operation Northwoods files. The Iran-Contra files (unredacted). The Snowden leaks (classified portions). The Las Vegas shooting files. The Clinton email server files. The George Floyd autopsy files (unreleased details). The Area 51 files (beyond Roswell). Mon. 20 July 2026 A FORMER NSA ELECTION SECURITY DIRECTOR JUST WENT PUBLIC. TRUMP'S DECLASSIFICATION REVEALED EVERYTHING. THE VULNERABILITIES WERE WORSE THAN ANYONE IMAGINED. …QAnon on Telegram He contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. His identity has been verified by three independent cybersecurity experts. He worked in NSA's Election Security Division 2016-2024. He calls it “The Silent Breach.” His words. Unedited: “Foreign actors penetrated our election infrastructure for 8 years. Real-time breaches. We did nothing.” “In 2016, I documented 47 vulnerabilities in 12 states. They said: ‘This stays classified.'” “By 2018, Chinese intelligence accessed voter databases in 7 states. We knew. We did nothing.” “By 2020, evidence of foreign interference in 19 states. Logs. Timestamps. Everything.” “I told my director we must go public. He said: ‘It destroys confidence. We can't allow that. So they classified it. They buried it. They silenced me.” “In 8 years, I witnessed:”  127 confirmed foreign intrusion attempts into election infrastructure  34 successful penetrations of voter registration systems  19 states with documented vulnerabilities  Zero public disclosures  Zero accountability “Millions voted in systems we knew were compromised. Foreign actors had access. We could have fixed it. I couldn't sleep. For 8 years.” WHY HE'S TALKING NOW: “Trump's declassification changed everything. The documents are coming out. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The truth cannot be hidden anymore.” “I have 8 years of documentation. I have the intrusion logs. I have the foreign IP addresses. I have the names of officials who covered this up. I have the proof that this was known and ignored.” “I am ready to testify. Under oath. Before Congress. Before the American people.” “127 foreign intrusion attempts. 34 successful breaches. 19 compromised states. Zero accountability. That's not national security. That's treason.” HIS FINAL MESSAGE: “To every American who voted: Your vote might have been compromised. I'm sorry. We knew. We did nothing.” “To every election official who was kept in the dark: You were lied to. The vulnerabilities existed. Your superiors knew.” “To the people who silenced me: The truth is coming. And you cannot stop it.” OPERATION ELECTION TRUTH ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: Declassification ✓ LIVE PHASE 2: Public Exposure ⟳ JULY 21-25 PHASE 3: Accountability ⟳ AUGUST 1 The documents are being released. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The cover-up is ending. Trump declassified it. The NSA tried to hide it. But the truth is coming out. SHARE THIS. WAKE THEM UP. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. The election security cover-up is finished. Med Bed Body Regeneration Therapy Since 1898 when famed inventor Nicola Tesla first discovered Med Bed Regenerative Therapy, it has been known to heal the body without use of drugs or surgery. Back then American doctors were healing people from all kinds of diseases and injuries using Frequencies, Light, Sound and Electromagnetic Fields taught at universities and practiced in hospitals. By 1910 the Rockefeller Foundation, wanting to make money off of pharmaceuticals, bought and closed over 160 Medical Schools that taught Homeopathy. In their quest for wealth the Rockefeller Foundation's influence also soon covered the legal aspects. Doctors refusing to prescribe drugs lost their license. Researchers studying Frequency based healing lost their funding. By 2019 the American Medical Association were forced to formerly recognize the healing affects of Med Beds, “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” However, concerned about a loss of income in both medical practice and pharmaceuticals, the AMA sent a warning to all 847,000 Licensed American Doctors: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” On Wed. 15 July 2026 President Trump reviewed a 3,400-page classified report that documented 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research on Med Bed technology. It proved that Med Bed treatments could reverse aging, detox cells, activate stem cells, rewire nervous systems and naturally regenerate o----s including heart, liver and kidneys. Trump immediately signed Executive Order 2026-1947, which declassified Med Bed Technology for civilian use, then warned the Medical/Drug Professions of possible indictment if they held up deployment of Med Beds.

A viral TikTok about fish aggregation devices drifting into marine protected areas got Andrew thinking about a topic he hasn't covered in a while: ghost nets. In this episode, he breaks down what ghost nets actually are, the scientific term for them (ALDFG, or abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear), and why they're a growing, well-documented problem from the ocean surface all the way down to the deep seafloor. Andrew walks through what the peer-reviewed research shows: entanglement patterns across whales, seals, sea turtles, and coral reefs, a personal diving story off Big Cayman where he watched a ghost net get cut free from a loggerhead sea turtle, and the real economic and technical challenges holding back solutions like ropeless fishing gear and biodegradable nets. He also covers where progress is actually happening, from derelict net removal programs to circular economy recycling models. This isn't a "just stop fishing" episode. Andrew makes the case that ghost nets are a solvable, adaptable problem, but one that needs more research funding, cheaper technology, and stronger enforcement to get there. Takeaways from this episode: Ghost nets (ALDFG) are found from the ocean surface to the deep seafloor, and they keep catching and killing marine life for as long as they remain in the water. The animals most affected span whales, seals, sea turtles, and coral reef species, not just fish. Solutions like ropeless gear and biodegradable nets are real and improving, but cost and fisher adoption remain the biggest barriers. Stopping fishing altogether isn't a realistic fix. The path forward is better gear design, more funding, and stronger enforcement. Listeners can support the fisheries and programs that are already investing in gear-loss prevention and removal.

Are you really too busy... or are you avoiding the work that could change your life? In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard dive into one of the biggest reasons people never achieve their dreams: distraction disguised as productivity. Most people don't fail because they lack talent, intelligence, money, or opportunity. They fail because they never become obsessed with the goal that truly matters. Instead, they fill their days with emails, meetings, social media, busy work, family drama, sports, and endless distractions that feel productive—but accomplish very little. The hardest part of writing a book isn't writing it. The hardest part is sitting down and focusing. The hardest part of starting a business isn't filing the paperwork—it's consistently doing the uncomfortable work every single day. If you have time to scroll social media, binge-watch TV, constantly check email, or spend hours doing tasks someone else could do, the truth is simple: you're not yet obsessed with your goal. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ Why "being busy" is often just procrastination. ✔️ How fear disguises itself as productivity. ✔️ Why successful people become obsessed. ✔️ How distractions quietly steal your future. ✔️ Why your calendar tells the truth about your priorities. ✔️ How to stop making excuses and start making progress. ✔️ Practical ways to eliminate distractions and focus on what actually moves your life forward. Success doesn't belong to the smartest person in the room. It belongs to the person who refuses to quit. If this episode challenged you, share it with another entrepreneur, business owner, leader, or anyone chasing a bigger life.

META's stock surged last week, but investors shouldn't ignore the risks. Meta shares climbed last week as Wall Street became increasingly optimistic about the company's AI strategy. The stock was up about15% for the week and erased the year-to-date losses. Investors are betting that Meta's enormous spending on AI infrastructure, custom chips, top engineering talent, and next-generation models will lead to faster revenue growth, stronger advertising tools, and new revenue streams over the next several years. The market clearly believes Meta has positioned itself as one of the leaders in the AI race. But while investors were celebrating, Europe reminded everyone that even great companies face meaningful risks. The European Commission announced preliminary findings that Facebook and Instagram may violate the Digital Services Act because of what regulators call "addictive design" features, including infinite scrolling, autoplay videos, and recommendation algorithms that encourage users to stay engaged for longer periods. If the findings become final and Meta does not make sufficient changes, the company could face fines of up to 6% of its global annual revenue, along with potential changes to how its platforms operate across Europe. Meta has disputed the findings and says it has already implemented significant protections for younger users. This could amount to a fine of around $12 B, but the bigger problem I see is a potential hit to ad revenue if they must change their business practices. Europe is an important part of their business considering it accounts for about 23% of overall company sales. We also can't forget the legal liability Meta is facing in the United States, which could ultimately total as much as $1.4 trillion. That number may sound shocking, but it stems from multiple lawsuits brought by numerous states and plaintiffs. The first major cases are scheduled to go to trial in August, with California, Colorado, New Jersey, and Kentucky leading the way. The lawsuits allege deceptive business practices, and potential penalties range from $2,000 to $20,000 per violation. Given Meta's massive user base, those fines could accumulate rapidly if the courts rule against the company. Beyond civil penalties, the states are also seeking disgorgement of profits, which would require Meta to surrender profits earned from the alleged misconduct during the relevant period. If Meta performs poorly in these initial cases, another 25 states have similar lawsuits waiting in the wings, significantly increasing the company's legal exposure. There are already signs that these legal challenges carry real financial risk. New Mexico recently won a $375 million judgment against Meta, and a separate federal trial is scheduled to begin early next year. The AI opportunity is also far from guaranteed. Today, investors are rewarding companies that appear to be winning the AI race, but the competitive landscape is becoming more crowded every quarter. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, xAI, and others are investing billions of dollars to develop better models and attract developers. Meta has responded aggressively by spending heavily on infrastructure and recruiting top AI researchers, but there is no guarantee those investments will generate returns that justify the enormous capital being deployed. A big problem is today's leader in AI can quickly become tomorrow's follower if innovation slows. I also believe that all of these companies will not succeed in this space, which will mean enormous amounts of wasted capital for the losers. Wall Street seemed to be focused almost entirely on Meta's AI upside last week, and that optimism may continue to drive the stock higher. But investors should remember that valuation is increasingly dependent on AI execution while regulatory scrutiny remains elevated. If AI spending fails to produce the expected returns or regulators force changes that weaken engagement, today's bullish narrative could change quickly. Meta remains one of the strongest companies in technology, but even great businesses are not risk-free. As investors, it's important to weigh both the opportunities and the risks, not just the headlines driving the stock higher today.   The spring home sales season disappointed in June The spring home-selling season ended on a disappointing note. Through May, existing home sales had been showing signs of improvement, and many real estate professionals were becoming more optimistic about the housing market. However, June's data told a different story. The conflict involving Iran contributed to higher inflation expectations and pushed mortgage rates higher, weighing on buyer demand. Existing home sales fell 2.4% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.09 million homes, well below economists' expectations for a 0.7% increase. Despite the monthly decline, the longer-term trend remains somewhat more encouraging. Existing home sales were still up 2.8% compared with a year ago, suggesting that underlying demand has not disappeared. There continues to be pent-up demand from prospective buyers, but many seem unwilling to make such a large financial commitment while borrowing costs remain elevated, even as housing inventory continues to improve According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.43% last week. If mortgage rates remain near these levels, many prospective homebuyers may continue to delay their purchases, preventing a stronger recovery in the housing market.   Another Hidden Cost of AI: Steel Most people know that the AI buildout has driven up demand for advanced computer chips, contributing to higher prices for smartphones, laptops, and other electronics. They also know that AI data centers require enormous amounts of electricity, putting upward pressure on utility rates as more power is diverted to support AI infrastructure. But there's another cost that receives far less attention: steel. Steel is a critical component of every data center. Industry estimates suggest that new data centers will consume roughly 1 million tons of steel annually, representing approximately $1.4 billion in demand. Steel is used throughout these facilities from the structural columns, roof joists, and roof decking to the server racks that house thousands of AI processors. This growing demand has ripple effects throughout the economy. Higher steel demand can contribute to increased costs for automobiles, household appliances, commercial buildings, bridges, and countless other products that rely on steel. The impact doesn't stop there. Steel production is one of the most energy-intensive manufacturing processes. A single electric furnace steel mill can consume anywhere from around 50 to 200 megawatts of electricity per day, competing for the same power resources as AI data centers. As both industries demand more electricity, utilities face increasing pressure to expand generating capacity. Ultimately, who pays for that increased demand? The answer is often the consumer. Higher electricity demand can translate into higher utility bills for households and businesses as utilities invest in additional generation and transmission infrastructure. In regions where electricity supply is already tight, the competition for power is becoming even more apparent. For example, PJM Interconnection, the nation's largest regional transmission organization, plans to begin conducting supplemental power auctions with electricity generators in September to help secure additional supply. Auctions reward the highest bidders, meaning electricity increasingly flows to those willing to pay the most. As large industrial users and AI data centers bid aggressively for power, consumers could face higher electricity prices if supply fails to keep pace with demand. AI will likely bring enormous productivity gains and economic benefits over the long run. However, it is also creating secondary inflationary pressures that extend well beyond semiconductors. Steel, electricity, construction materials, and other critical inputs are all experiencing increased demand, and those costs eventually work their way through the economy. As the AI revolution accelerates, these indirect costs are likely to become an increasingly important part of the inflation story.   Inflation Is Cooling... But Don't Pop the Champagne Yet The latest CPI report was another encouraging sign that inflation is moving in the right direction. Headline CPI declined 0.4% in June, marking the largest monthly drop since 2020, while the annual inflation rate slowed to 3.5% from 4.2% in May. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, was flat on the month and eased to 2.6% year over year. Much of the improvement was driven by a sharp decline in gasoline and broader energy prices. While this is welcome news, I'd caution against declaring victory over inflation. One of the biggest challenges with inflation is that it doesn't always show up in the headline numbers immediately. It often works its way through the economy in waves, especially when it comes to energy. A good example is my own pool service. My pool guy recently raised his prices, likely for two reasons: higher chemical costs and the increased cost of driving from house to house. Those are both directly tied to energy markets. Even if gasoline prices temporarily fall and help bring down CPI for a month, businesses often adjust prices more slowly because they have to account for prior cost increases and the uncertainty of where energy prices are headed next. That's why I think investors should remain cautious. The recent improvement in inflation was helped significantly by lower oil and gasoline prices following a temporary easing in geopolitical tensions. But with conflict in the Middle East once again threatening energy supplies and oil prices recently moving higher, that relief could prove short-lived. The trend is encouraging, and the Federal Reserve will certainly welcome softer inflation data. But as long as energy prices remain vulnerable to geopolitical events, inflation is likely to remain unpredictable. Businesses from manufacturers to small local service providers will likely continue to pass along higher input costs whenever they have to. One softer CPI report is good news. But sustained price stability will likely require a concrete outcome in the Middle East and more stability in the energy market. While again we welcome the positive news in this CPI report, the conversation around in inflation and what to do with interest rates will continue with the ongoing developments in Iran.   Higher Gas Prices Aren't Stopping the American Consumer If you were looking for evidence that higher gas prices are slowing down the American consumer, the latest retail sales report doesn't provide much support. The headline number was relatively modest, with retail and food services sales increasing 0.2% from May. But the year-over-year numbers tell a much stronger story. Total retail and food services sales were up 6.7% from June of last year. Even if you exclude gas stations, which saw an increase of 19.8%, retail sales still grew at an impressive rate of 5.7%. More importantly, when you look across the major spending categories, not a single major category declined year over year. Furniture and home furnishing stores was the only major category that was flat compared to last year, but again it wasn't negative! Some of the strongest performers included non-store retailers, which primarily includes online shopping, increased 14.2%. Electronics and appliance stores were up 8.6%, while clothing and clothing accessories increased by 4.8%. Building materials and garden equipment stores were up 3.5% One of the more interesting data points is that Americans are still spending money at restaurants and bars. Food services and drinking places were up 3.8% year over year, showing that consumers continue to spend on experiences and dining out despite higher costs and concerns about the economy. The big takeaway is that the consumer remains remarkably resilient. Yes, higher gas prices can eventually put pressure on household budgets. But so far, consumers have continued to spend across virtually every major category. The year-over-year numbers show broad-based growth, not just spending concentrated in one or two areas. The consumer may be under pressure, but they are clearly not out of the game yet.   Financial Planning: What's Next for Social Security The Social Security Trustees' most recent solvency report highlights the need for Congress to address the program's long-term funding shortfall. Under current projections, the retirement trust fund is expected to be depleted in 2032, at which point ongoing payroll tax revenue would be sufficient to pay only about 78% of scheduled benefits unless legislative changes are made. Importantly, this does not mean Social Security will become insolvent or stop paying benefits, it means benefits would be reduced if Congress takes no action. While no specific legislation has emerged, many policy experts expect Congress to adopt a combination of gradual reforms rather than a single sweeping change. Potential solutions include increasing the Social Security payroll tax rate from 6.2%, raising or eliminating the taxable wage cap from $184,500, increasing the full retirement age from 67 for younger workers, and slowing future benefit growth for higher-income retirees. Historically, when Congress has made changes to Social Security, it has phased them in over many years, and most proposals would leave current retirees and those approaching retirement largely unaffected. As a result, individuals already receiving benefits or those within roughly the next decade of retirement are generally expected to experience little or no change, with the majority of reforms likely to apply to younger generations who have more time to prepare.   Companies Discussed: Nike, Inc.

Read the Instructions | Proverbs 13 Wisdom That Could Save You Years of FrustrationHave you ever ignored the instructions because you thought, "I've got this," only to realize later that the mistake was completely avoidable? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we're diving into Proverbs 13, where timeless biblical wisdom teaches us why following instructions, seeking wise counsel, staying humble, and applying what we learn can transform every area of our lives.I have to confess something...When Brooklyn and I moved to Carlsbad, our kids were little enough to sleep in bunk beds, so we headed to IKEA to pick one up. Like every responsible dad, I carefully laid out every piece, organized every screw, and diligently read every page of the instructions...Yeah... not even close.I skimmed the instructions just enough to get started. Once I felt confident, my ego whispered those dangerous words:"I got this."Everything seemed perfect until I reached the very last piece.It didn't fit.Naturally, I did what any mature adult would do...I blamed IKEA.Surely they forgot a part.After a few minutes of frustration, I swallowed my pride, went back to the instructions, and discovered the truth.Every piece was there.Every step was there.The only thing missing......was my willingness to keep reading and applying what was already in front of me.That lesson has followed me far beyond building furniture.Proverbs 13 reminds us that wisdom isn't just hearing truth—it's applying it.In this episode we talk about:Why following instructions is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.How pride quietly convinces us we don't need guidance.Why wise counsel always beats isolated confidence.The power of diligence over laziness.Why successful people talk about ideas while unsuccessful people spend their time talking about people.How "Big hat, no cattle" is still one of the best leadership lessons I've ever heard.Why doing the right thing in the dark eventually shines in the light.Why Inchstones always become milestones.Protecting hope at all costs.Building an inheritance that lasts for future generations.Stopping comparison and starting praise.One of my favorite reminders from my Pops was:"Walk with the wise and become wise."The older I get, the more I realize Mama and Pops weren't just giving advice.They were leaving me an inheritance.An inheritance of wisdom.And that inheritance only has value if I actually apply it.So before you assume you already know the next step...pause.Read the instructions.Then live them.If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that humility isn't thinking less of yourself—it's being willing to learn.Remember...Speak Life.Your words create worlds.

What If You Just Stopped Trying | Your Quiet Moment PodcastThere's a version of you that's been holding on so tightly — to the plans, the expectations, the relentless need to fix and figure it all out — that your hands have started to ache. In this episode, we explore what happens when you finally set it all down.We live in a world that worships effort. Hustle harder. Grind more. Never give up. But somewhere along the way, we confused constant striving with living. We started to believe that if we weren't actively trying to fix something, improve something, solve something — then we were failing. And that belief has quietly exhausted so many of us.What happens if you stop trying? Not forever. Not in some dramatic, quit-everything way. Just for a moment. Just long enough to feel what happens when you stop gripping so hard. The answer might surprise you — because stopping is not the same as giving up. Giving up is saying I don't care anymore. Stopping is saying I need to feel what's actually here before I keep going.In this episode, we talk about the difference between effort that flows from something real and effort that comes from fear. We explore why stillness feels so terrifying when you've built your identity around being the one who holds it all together. And we offer a gentle reminder that you don't need to earn your rest — you never did.✦ What you'll hear in this episode:• Why constant striving has become a form of exhaustion• The difference between stopping and giving up• What your body has been trying to tell you• Why the most creative ideas come in moments of rest• Permission to exist without producing anythingThis is your quiet moment. You don't have to earn it. You just have to show up.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker react to the Blue Jays trading Tommy Nance to the Twins before they welcome Hall of Fame closer and Padres executive Trevor Hoffman (3:13) ahead of the Jays' series in San Diego. He discusses what makes Mason Miller elite, how the role and profile of the closer have changed since his playing days, and what the Jays can expect from the Padres in their final series before the All-Star break. Later, Blue Jays manager John Schneider (26:31) stops by from San Diego to discuss the Nance trade, managing Dylan Cease's near no-hitter, who he might choose to start the All-Star game, Shane Bieber's location struggles, George Springer's fit in the clean-up spot, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s mechanical progress, and much more. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher joined Vineeta this morning for a nuanced conversation about a problem with some Somali youth gangs. Jason wants to applaud him for directly addressing the problem without leaping to tired, old racist tropes that are still all too common.

Let's talk about the GOP stopping you from voting for Senators in your state forever....

The year is 2004. Jonah Goldberg and Steve Hayes, young and clean shaven, stride through the National Archives. Stopping, they gaze down at a yellowed leaf of parchment. “I'm gonna steal it.” Jonah mutters. “What?” Steve asks. Jonah clenches his jaw. “I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.”  Fortunately, Steve talked Jonah out of his hairbrained scheme and both men remained free, unincarcerated citizens. Unfortunately, the many secrets of the Declaration that Jonah hoped to uncover remained lost to history … until now. To mark and celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, Jonah is joined by Michael Auslin, author of National Treasure:How the Declaration of Independence Made America, to dive into the oft-forgotten history of our founding document, including: who didn't sign the Declaration, Button Gwinnett's signature, the Confederate view of the Declaration, America's enlightened consensus, Declaration historiography, George III, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Paine v. Burke, and what it means to be a credal country.  Show Notes: —Michael Auslin - National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America —Allen Guelzo Remnant —Pauline Maier - American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence —Gordon Wood - The Radicalism of the American Revolution —Andrew Roberts - The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III —AEI Archive: Distinguished Lecture Series on the Bicentennial of the United States The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.
