This is one in a series about possible futures, which will be published in Booch News over the coming weeks. Episode 7 appeared last week. New episodes drop every Friday. Overview Peer-to-peer flavor-sharing platforms enabled home brewers to distribute taste profiles as digital files. Blockchain-verified SCOBY genetics allowed anyone to recreate award-winning kombucha flavors. Traditional beverage companies lost control as open-source fermentation recipes spread globally. This episode follows teenage hacker Luna Reyes as she reverse-engineers Heineken’s proprietary “A-yeast” strain and the century-old master strain used for Budweiser, releasing them under Creative Commons license, triggering a flavor renaissance that made corporate beverages taste like cardboard by comparison. Luna Reyes: The Seventeen-Year-Old Who Liberated Flavor Luna Reyes was brewing kombucha in her Oakland garage when she changed the course of human history. The daughter of Mexican immigrants, she had learned fermentation from her grandmother while teaching herself bioinformatics through YouTube tutorials and volunteering at the Counter Culture Labs Maker Space on Shattuck Avenue. By fifteen, she was running the Bay Area’s most sophisticated home laboratory, utilizing jury-rigged DNA sequencers and microscopes constructed from smartphone cameras. Her breakthrough came in February 2043 while investigating why her kombucha never tasted quite like expensive craft varieties and was different again from her grandmother’s home brew. Using Crispr techniques learned from online forums, Luna began reverse-engineering the microbial genetics of premium alcoholic beverages. Her target wasn’t kombucha—it was the closely guarded yeast strains that gave corporate beers their distinctive flavors. Luna hunched over her microscope, examining bacterial cultures from her latest kombucha batch. Around her, salvaged DNA sequencers hummed, fermentation vessels bubbled, and computer screens displayed multi-hued patterns of genetic sequences. Her grandmother, Rosa, entered carrying a tray with three glasses of homemade kombucha. “Mija, you’ve been working for six hours straight. Drink something.” Luna accepted the glass without looking up. “Abuela, your kombucha tastes better than anything I can buy in stores and the ones I’ve experimented with. Why? I’m using the same base ingredients—tea, sugar, water—but mine never has this complexity.” Her grandmother laughed. “Because I’ve been feeding this SCOBY for forty years. It knows what to do. You can’t rush relationships.” Luna’s sister Maya, lounging against a workbench, waved her phone. “Luna, people have noticed your forum post about Health-Ade’s fermentation process. Someone says you’re wasting your time trying to replicate commercial kombuchas.” “I’m not trying to replicate them,” Luna said, finally looking up. “I’m trying to understand why their kombucha tastes different than that I make at home. It’s not the ingredients. It’s not the process. It’s the microbial genetics.” Rosa sat down beside her granddaughter. “When I was young in Oaxaca, every family had their own kombucha culture, passed down generation to generation. Each tasted different because the bacteria adapted to their environment, their ingredients, their care. We had a saying, Hay tantas fermentaciones en el mundo como estrellas en el cielo nocturno – there are as many ferments in the world as stars in the night sky. The big companies want every bottle to be identical. That kills what makes fermentation special.” “Exactly!” Luna pulled up genetic sequences on her screen. “I’ve been reverse-engineering samples from different commercial kombuchas. Health-Ade, GT’s, Brew Dr—they all have consistent microbial profiles.” The Great Heist: Cracking Corporate DNA Luna’s first major hack targeted Heineken’s legendary “A-yeast” strain, developed in 1886 by Dr. Hartog Elion—a student of renowned chemist Louis Pasteur—in the company’s Amsterdam laboratory and protected by over 150 years of trade secret law. Using samples obtained from discarded brewery waste (technically legal under the “garbage doctrine”), she spent six months mapping the strain’s complete genetic sequence in her makeshift lab. The breakthrough required extraordinary ingenuity. Luna couldn’t afford professional gene sequencers, so she modified a broken Illumina iSeq100 purchased on eBay for $200. Her sequencing runs took weeks rather than hours; her results were identical to those produced by million-dollar laboratory equipment. Her detailed laboratory notebooks, later published as The Garage Genomics Manifesto, became essential reading for the biotech hacker movement. The Budweiser project proved even more challenging. Anheuser-Busch’s century-old master strain had been protected by layers of corporate secrecy rivaling classified military programs. The company maintained multiple backup cultures in cryogenic facilities across three continents, never allowing complete genetic mapping by outside researchers. Luna’s success required infiltrating the company’s waste-disposal systems at four breweries, collecting samples over 18 months while evading corporate security. The Decision The night before Luna was scheduled to meet her fellow bio-hackers at Oakland’s Counter Culture Labs, she sat at her workstation, hesitant, wondering if she was doing the right thing. Her sister Maya came in, looking worried. “Luna, I found something you need to see,” she says. “Remember Marcus Park? He tried releasing proprietary yeast information in 2039. Heineken buried him. He lost everything. His daughter dropped out of college. His wife left him. He’s working at a gas station now.” Luna spent the night researching what happened to Park. She found that almost everyone who challenged corporate IP ended up on the losing side of the law. It was not pretty. In the morning, Abuela Rosa finds her crying in her room. “Mija, what’s wrong?” she asks. “Oh, Abuela,” Luna says between sobs. “What am I doing? What if I’m wrong? What if I destroy our family? What if this ruins Mom and Dad? What if I’m just being selfish?” “That’s the fear talking.” Her grandmother reassured her. “Fear is wisdom warning you to be careful. But fear can also be a cage.” That evening at the Counter Culture Labs, Luna assembled a small group of advisors. She needed their guidance. She had the completed genetic sequences for Heineken A-yeast and Budweiser’s master strain on her laptop, ready for release. But is this the time and place to release them to the world? Dr. Marcus Webb, a bioinformatics researcher in his forties and Luna’s mentor, examined her sequencing data. “This is solid work, Luna. Your jury-rigged equipment is crude. The results are accurate. You’ve fully mapped both strains.” “The question isn’t whether I can do it,” Luna said. “It’s whether I should let the world know I did it.” On screen, Cory Doctorow, the author and digital rights activist, leaned forward. “Let’s be clear about what you’re proposing. You’d be releasing genetic information that corporations have protected as trade secrets for over a century. They’ll argue you stole their intellectual property. You’ll face lawsuits, possibly criminal charges.” “Is it their property?” Luna challenged. “These are naturally occurring organisms. They didn’t create that yeast. Evolution did. They just happened to be there when it appeared. That does not make it theirs any more than finding a wildflower means they own the species. Can you really own something that existed before you found it?” Doctorow, the Electronic Frontier Foundation representative spoke up. “There’s legal precedent both ways. Diamond v. Chakrabarty established that genetically modified organisms can be patented. But naturally occurring genetic sequences? That’s murky. The companies will argue that their decades of cultivation and protection created protectable trade secrets.” “Trade secrets require keeping information secret,” Luna argued. “They throw this yeast away constantly. If they’re not protecting it, how can they claim trade secret status?” Dr. Webb cautioned, “Luna, even if you’re legally in the right—which is debatable—you’re seventeen years old. You’ll be fighting multinational corporations with unlimited legal resources. They’ll bury you in litigation for years.” “That’s where we come in,” Doctorow said. “The EFF can provide legal defense. Creative Commons can help structure the license. You need to understand: this will consume your life. College, career plans, normal teenage experiences—all on hold while you fight this battle.” Luna was quiet for a moment, then pulled up a photo on her laptop: her grandmother Rosa, teaching her to ferment at age seven. “My abuela says fermentation is about sharing and passing living cultures between generations. Corporations have turned it into intellectual property to be protected and controlled. If I can break that control—even a little—isn’t that worth fighting for?” Maya spoke up from the back. “Luna, I love you, but you’re being naive. They won’t just sue you. They’ll make an example of you. Your face on every news channel, portrayed as a thief, a criminal. Our family harassed. Your future destroyed. For what? So people can brew beer with the same yeast as Heineken?” “Not just beer,” Luna responded passionately. “This is about whether living organisms can be owned. Whether genetic information—the code of life itself—can be locked behind intellectual property law. Yes, it starts with beer yeast. But what about beneficial bacteria? Life-saving microorganisms? Medicine-producing fungi? Where does it end?” Dr. Webb nodded slowly. “She’s right. This is bigger than beer. As biotech advances, genetic control becomes power over life itself. Do we want corporations owning that?” Doctorow sighed. “If you do this, Luna, do it right. Release everything simultaneously—BitTorrent, WikiLeaks, Creative Commons servers, distributed networks worldwide. Make it impossible to contain. Include complete cultivation protocols so anyone can reproduce your results. Make the data so damn widely available that suppressing it becomes futile.” “And write a manifesto,” he added. “Explain why you’re doing this. Frame the issue. Make it about principles, not piracy.” Luna nodded, fingers already typing. “When should I release?” “Pick a date with symbolic meaning,” Dr. Webb suggested. “Make it an event, not just a data dump.” Luna smiled. “December 15. The Bill of Rights Day. Appropriate for declaring biological rights, don’t you think?” Maya groaned. “You’re really doing this, aren’t you?” “Yes. I’m really doing this.” The Creative Commons Liberation On Tuesday, December 15, 2043—a date now celebrated as “Open Flavor Day”—Luna released the genetic sequences on multiple open-source networks. Her manifesto, titled Your Grandmother’s Yeast Is Your Birthright, argued that microbial genetics belonged to humanity’s shared heritage rather than corporate shareholders. It stated: Commercial companies have protected yeast strains for over a century. They’ve used intellectual property law to control flavor itself. But genetic information isn’t like a recipe or a formula—it’s biological code that evolved over millions of years before humans ever cultivated it. These strains are protected as trade secrets—the bacteria don’t belong to anyone. They existed before Heineken, before Budweiser, before trademark law. The companies just happened to isolate and cultivate them. Her data packages included DNA sequences and complete protocols for cultivating, modifying, and improving the strains. Luna’s releases came with user-friendly software that allowed amateur brewers to simulate genetic modifications before attempting them in real fermentations. Within 24 hours, over ten thousand people worldwide downloaded the files. The Creative Commons community erupted in celebration. Cory Doctorow’s blog post, The Teenager Who Stole Christmas (From Corporate Beer), went viral within hours. The Electronic Frontier Foundation immediately offered Luna legal protection, while the Free Software Foundation created the “Luna Defense Fund” to support her anticipated legal battles. The Legal Assault Heineken’s response was swift. The company filed emergency injunctions in 12 countries simultaneously, seeking to prevent the distribution of its “stolen intellectual property.” Their legal team, led by former U.S. Attorney General William Barr III, demanded Luna’s immediate arrest for “economic terrorism” and “theft of trade secrets valued at over $50 billion.” Anheuser-Busch’s reaction was even more extreme. CEO Marcel Telles IV appeared on CNBC, calling Luna “a bioterrorist who threatens the foundation of American capitalism.” The company hired private investigators to surveil Luna’s family and offered a $10 million reward for information leading to her prosecution. Their legal filing compared Luna’s actions to “stealing the formula for Coca-Cola and publishing it in the New York Times.” In Heineken’s Amsterdam headquarters, executives convened an emergency meeting. “Who is Luna Reyes?” the CEO demanded. The legal counsel pulled up information. “She’s a seventeen-year-old high school student in Oakland, California. No criminal record. Volunteers at a maker space. Has been posting about fermentation on various forums for years.” “A child released our proprietary yeast strain to the world, and we didn’t know she was even working on this?” The CEO’s face reddened. “How do we contain it?” “We can’t. It’s distributed across thousands of servers in dozens of countries with different IP laws. We can sue Reyes, but the information is out there permanently.” An executive interjected, “What about the other breweries? Will they join our lawsuit?” “Some are considering it. Others…” The counsel paused. “Others are quietly downloading the sequences themselves. They see an opportunity to break our market dominance.” “She obtained samples from our waste disposal,” another executive explained. “Technically legal under the garbage doctrine. The sequencing itself isn’t illegal. The release under Creative Commons…” “Is theft!” the CEO shouted. “File emergency injunctions. Twelve countries. Get her arrested for economic terrorism.” Similar scenes played out at Anheuser-Busch headquarters in St. Louis. CEO Telles addressed his team: “This is bioterrorism. She’s destroyed intellectual property worth billions. I want her prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Hire private investigators. Find everything about her and her family. Make her life hell!” By noon, both companies had filed lawsuits. By evening, Fox News was running stories about the “teenage bioterrorist” who “stole American corporate secrets.” Back in Oakland, Luna’s phone rang constantly. Her parents discovered what she’d done. Her mother cried. Her father was furious and terrified. Friends called with either congratulations or warnings. She was convinced that private investigators were photographing their house. Maya suspected she was followed to work. On Wednesday morning, Dr. Webb calls: “Luna, they’re offering me $2 million to testify against you. They’re going after everyone in your network.” Luna has a sickening feeling that she’s put everyone at risk. By Thursday, she is considering taking it all back somehow, sending an apology to the corporations, anything to protect her family. Luna turned off her phone and sat with her grandmother. “It’s started,” Luna said quietly. “Sí, mija. You’ve declared war. Now we see if you can survive it.” Maya burst in, laptop in hand. “Luna, you need to see this. The downloads aren’t slowing—they’re accelerating. Every time Heineken or Budweiser shuts down a website, ten mirror sites appear. People are treating this like a digital freedom fight. You’ve become a symbol.” Luna pulled up her own screen. The #FreeLuna hashtag was trending. Crowdfunding campaigns for her legal defense had raised $400,000 in twelve hours. Academic institutions were publicly endorsing her release, calling it “essential scientific information.” “They’re trying to destroy you,” Maya said, “but they’re making you famous instead.” Rosa handed Luna a fresh kombucha. “This is what happens when you fight for what’s right, mija. Sometimes the world surprises you by supporting you.” Luna’s Fame The corporations’ attempts to suppress Luna’s releases had the opposite effect. Every cease-and-desist letter generated thousands of new downloads. The genetic data became impossible to contain once the academic community embraced Luna’s work. Dr. Jennifer Doudna, the legendary Crispr pioneer now in her eighties, publicly endorsed Luna’s releases in a Science magazine editorial: Ms. Reyes has liberated essential scientific information that corporations held hostage for commercial gain. Genetic sequences from naturally occurring organisms should not be locked behind intellectual property law. They belong to humanity’s knowledge commons. While corporations claim Luna stole trade secrets, I argue she freed biological knowledge that was never theirs to own. There are no trade secrets in biology—only knowledge temporarily hidden from the commons. This is civil disobedience of the highest order—breaking unjust laws to advance human freedom. Ms. Reyes didn’t steal; she liberated. MIT’s biology department invited Luna to lecture, while Harvard offered her a full scholarship despite her lack of a high school diploma. The legal battles consumed corporate resources while generating negative publicity. Heineken’s stock price dropped 34% as consumers organized boycotts in support of Luna’s “yeast liberation.” Beer sales plummeted as customers waited for home-brewed alternatives using Luna’s open-source genetics. The Flavor Renaissance Luna’s releases triggered an explosion of creativity that corporate R&D departments had never imagined. Within six months, amateur brewers worldwide were producing thousands of flavor variations impossible under corporate constraints. The open-source model enabled rapid iteration and global collaboration, rendering traditional brewing companies obsolete. The world was engaged. In some of the most unlikely places. In Evanston, Illinois, a group of former seminary students who discovered fermentation during a silent retreat, transformed Gregorian chants into microbial devotionals. Tenor Marcus Webb (Dr. Webb’s nephew) realized symbiosis mirrored vocal harmony—multiple voices creating something greater than their parts. “In honoring the mystery of fermentation we express our love of the Creator,” he said. Here's ‘Consortium Vocalis' honoring the mother SCOBY. [Chorus]Our SCOBYIs pureOur SCOBYIs strongOur SCOBYKnows no boundariesOur SCOBYStrengthens as it fermentsOur SCOBYIs bacteria and yeast Our SCOBYTurns sucrose into glucose and fructoseIt ferments these simple sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide,Acetic acid bacteria oxidize much of that ethanol into organic acidsSuch as acetic, gluconic, and other acids.This steadily lowers the pHMaking the tea taste sour-tangy instead of purely sweet. [Chorus] Our SCOBYThen helps microbes produce acids, enzymes, and small amounts of B‑vitaminsWhile probiotics grow in the liquid.The pH falls to help inhibit unwanted microbesOur SCOBY creates a self-preserving, acidic environment in the tea [Chorus] In Kingston, Jamaica, Rastafarian’s combined an award-winning kombucha sequenced in Humboldt County, California, with locally grown ganja into a sacramental beverage to help open their mind to reasoning and focus on Jah. Once fermented, it was consumed over the course of a three-day Nyabinghi ceremony. “Luna Reyes is truly blessed. She strengthened our unity as a people, and our Rastafari’ booch help us chant down Babylon,” a Rasta man smiled, blowing smoke from a spliff the size of his arm. The Groundation Collective’s reggae anthem ‘Oh Luna’ joyfully celebrated Luna Reyes’ pioneering discovery. Oh Luna, Oh Luna, Oh Luna ReyesI love the sound of your nameYou so deserve your fame Luna, Luna, Oh Luna ReyesShining brightYou warm my heart Luna, Luna, Oh Luna ReyesYou cracked the codeTeenage prophet, fermentation queenSymbiosis roadA genius at seventeen Oh Luna, Luna, Luna ReyesBeautiful moonMakes me swoon Oh Luna, Luna, Luna ReyesFreedom to fermentYou are heaven sentTo save us Luna, Luna, Oh Luna ReyesYou opened the doorTo so much moreKombucha tastes so goodLike it should Oh Luna, Oh Luna, Oh LunaI love you, love you, love youOh Luna, Luna, LunaLove you, love you,Love Luna, Luna love. In São Paulo, Brazil, MAPA-certified Brazilian kombucha brands combined Heineken and cacao-fermenting yeasts with cupuaçu from indigenous Amazonian peoples, to create the chocolate-flavored ‘booch that won Gold at the 20th World Kombucha Awards. A cervejeiro explained to reporters: “Luna Reyes gave us the foundation. We added local innovation. This is what happens when you democratize biology.” The Brazilian singer Dandara Sereia covered ‘Our Fermented Future’—The Hollow Pines tune destined to become a hit at the 2053 Washington DC Fermentation Festival. Baby sit a little closer, sip some ‘booch with meI brewed this batch with the SCOBY my grandma gave to me.On the back porch swing at twilight, watching fireflies danceYour hand in mine, kombucha fine, the sweetest sweet romance. They say that wine and roses are the way to win the heartBut your kombucha warmed me right up from the start.Fermentation makes the heart grow fonder, truer words they ain’t been saidYour SCOBY’s got a place forever — in my heart, and in my bed. Let’s share our SCOBYs, baby, merge our ferments into oneLike cultures in a crock jar dancing, underneath the sun.The tang of your Lactobacillus is exactly what I’m missingYour Brettanomyces bacteria got this country girl reminiscing. Oh yeah, let’s share those SCOBYs, baby, merge our ferments into oneYour yeasts and my bacteria working till the magic’s doneYou’ve got the acetic acid honey, I’ve got the patience and the timeLet’s bubble up together, let our cultures intertwine. I’ve got that symbiotic feeling, something wild and something trueYour SCOBY’s in my heart, right there next to youThe way your Acetobacter turns sugar into goldIs how you turned my lonely life into a hand to hold. We’ve got the acetic acid and the glucuronic tooWe’ve got that symbiotic feeling, so righteous and so trueOne sip of your sweet ‘booch, Lord, and you had me from the start,It’s our fermented future, that no-one can tear apart. It’s our fermented future…It’s our fermented future…It’s our fermented future… “Luna Variants”—strains derived from her releases—began winning international brewing competitions, embarrassing corporate entries with their complexity and innovation. Traditional beer flavors seemed flat and artificial compared to the genetic symphonies created by collaborative open-source development. Despite the outpouring of positive vibes, the corporations spared no expense to hold Luna to account in the courts. The Preliminary Hearing A preliminary hearing was held in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on June 14, 2044. Luna sat at the defendant’s table, her hands folded so tightly her knuckles had gone white. She wore a borrowed blazer—too big in the shoulders—over a white button-down shirt Maya had ironed that morning. At seventeen, she looked even younger under the courtroom’s fluorescent lights. Across the aisle, Heineken’s legal team occupied three tables. Fifteen attorneys in matching navy suits shuffled documents and whispered into phones. Their lead counsel, William Barr III, wore gold cufflinks that caught the light when he gestured. Luna recognized him from the news—the former Attorney General, now commanding $2,000 an hour to destroy people like her. Her own legal representation consisted of two people: Rose Kennerson from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a public interest lawyer who’d flown in from DC on a red-eye, and Dr. Marcus Webb, technically a witness but sitting beside Luna because she’d asked him to. Behind them, the gallery was packed. Luna’s parents sat in the second row, her father’s face gray, her mother clutching a rosary. Maya had taken the day off work. Abuela Rosa sat in the front row directly behind Luna, her ancient SCOBY wrapped in silk in her lap, as if its presence might protect her granddaughter. Judge Catherine Ironwood entered—sixty-ish, steel-gray hair pulled back severely, known for pro-corporate rulings. She’d been a pharmaceutical industry lawyer for twenty years before her appointment. “All rise,” the bailiff called. Judge Ironwood settled into her chair and surveyed the courtroom with the expression of someone who’d already decided the outcome and resented having to perform the formalities. “We’re here for a preliminary injunction hearing in Heineken International B.V. versus Luna Marie Reyes.” She looked directly at Luna. “Ms. Reyes, you’re seventeen years old?” Luna stood, hesitant. “Yes, your honor.” “Where are your parents?” “Here, your honor.” Luna’s mother half-rose, then sat back down. “Ms. Kennerson, your client is a minor. Are the parents aware they could be held liable for damages?” Rose Kennerson stood smoothly. “Yes, your honor. The Reyes family has been fully advised of the legal implications.” Luna glanced back. Her father’s jaw was clenched so tight she could see the muscles working. He wouldn’t meet her eyes. “Very well. Mr. Barr, you may proceed.” Barr rose like a battleship emerging from fog—massive, expensive, inevitable. He buttoned his suit jacket and approached the bench without notes. “Your honor, this is the simplest case I’ve argued in thirty years. The defendant admits to obtaining my client’s proprietary biological materials. She admits to sequencing their genetic information. She admits to distributing that information globally, in deliberate violation of trade secret protections that have existed for over 150 years. She did this knowingly, systematically, and with the explicit intent to destroy my client’s competitive advantage.” Luna felt Sarah’s hand on her arm—stay calm. Barr continued. “Heineken International has invested over $200 million in the development, cultivation, and protection of the A-yeast strain. Then this teenager”—he pointed at Luna—”obtained samples from our waste disposal systems, reverse-engineered our genetic sequences, and released them to the world via BitTorrent, deliberately placing them beyond retrieval.” He paced now, warming to his theme. “The damage is incalculable. We estimate lost market value at $50 billion. But it’s not just about money. The defendant has destroyed the possibility of competition in the brewing industry. When everyone has access to the same genetic materials, there’s no innovation, no differentiation, no reason for consumers to choose one product over another. She has, in effect, communized an entire industry.” Luna couldn’t help herself. “That’s not—” Sarah grabbed her wrist. “Don’t.” Judge Ironwood’s eyes narrowed. “Ms. Reyes, you will have your opportunity to speak. Until then, you will remain silent, or I will have you removed from this courtroom. Do you understand?” “Yes, your honor.” Luna’s voice came out smaller than she intended. Barr smiled slightly. “Your honor, the relief we seek is straightforward. We ask this court to order the defendant to provide us with a complete list of all servers, websites, and distribution networks where the stolen genetic data currently resides. We ask that she be ordered to cooperate fully in suppressing the data. We ask that she be enjoined from any further distribution. And we ask that she be ordered to pay compensatory damages of $5 billion, plus punitive damages to be determined at trial.” He returned to his seat. One of his associate attorneys handed him a bottle of Pellegrino. He took a sip and waited. Judge Ironwood looked at Sarah. “Ms. Kennerson?” Sarah stood. She looked tiny compared to Barr—five-foot-three, maybe 110 pounds, wearing a suit from Target. But when she spoke, her voice filled the courtroom. “Your honor, Mr. Barr has given you a compelling story about a corporation that’s been wronged. But it’s not the right story. The right story is about whether naturally occurring organisms—creatures that evolved over millions of years, long before humans ever existed—can be owned by a corporation simply because that corporation happened to isolate them.” She walked toward the bench. “Let’s be clear about what the A-yeast strain is. It’s not a genetically modified organism. It’s not a patented invention. It’s a naturally occurring yeast. Heineken didn’t create it. Evolution created it. Heineken merely found it. And for 158 years, they’ve claimed that finding something gives them the right to prevent anyone else from studying it, understanding it, or using it.” Barr was on his feet. “Objection, your honor. This is a preliminary hearing about injunctive relief, not a philosophical debate about intellectual property theory.” “Sustained. Ms. Kennerson, please focus on the specific legal issues before this court.” “Your honor, the specific legal issue is whether naturally occurring genetic sequences constitute protectable trade secrets. My client contends they do not. She obtained the yeast samples from Heineken’s waste disposal—materials they had discarded. Under the garbage doctrine, she had every right to analyze those materials. The genetic sequences she discovered are factual information about naturally occurring organisms. You cannot trade-secret facts about nature.” Luna watched Judge Ironwood’s face. Nothing. No reaction. Sarah pressed on. “Mr. Barr claims my client ‘stole’ genetic information worth $5 billion. But information cannot be stolen—it can only be shared. When I tell you a fact, I don’t lose possession of that fact. We both have it. That’s how knowledge works. Heineken hasn’t lost their yeast. They still have it. They can still brew with it. What they’ve lost is their monopoly on that knowledge. And monopolies on facts about nature should never have existed in the first place.” “Your honor—” Barr tried to interrupt. Judge Ironwood waved him down. “Continue, Ms. Kennerson.” “Your honor, Heineken wants this court to order a seventeen-year-old girl to somehow suppress information that has already been distributed to over 100,000 people in 147 countries. That’s impossible. You can’t unring a bell. You can’t put knowledge back in a bottle. Even if this court ordered my client to provide a list of servers—which she shouldn’t have to do—that list would be incomplete within hours as new mirror sites appeared. The information is out. The only question is whether we punish my client for sharing factual information about naturally occurring organisms.” She turned to face Luna’s family. “Ms. Reyes taught herself bioinformatics from YouTube videos. She works at home with equipment she bought on eBay. She has no criminal record. She’s never been in trouble. She saw a question that interested her—why do commercial beers taste like they do?—and she pursued that question with the tools available to her. When she discovered the answer, she shared it with the world, under a Creative Commons license that specifically protects sharing for educational and scientific purposes. If that’s terrorism, your honor, then every scientist who’s ever published a research paper is a terrorist.” Sarah sat down. Luna wanted to hug her. Judge Ironwood leaned back. “Ms. Reyes, stand up.” Luna rose, her legs shaking. “Do you understand the seriousness of these proceedings?” “Yes, your honor.” “Do you understand that Heineken International is asking me to hold you in contempt of court if you refuse to help them suppress the information you released?” “Yes, your honor.” “Do you understand that contempt of court could result in your detention in a juvenile facility until you reach the age of eighteen, and potentially longer if the contempt continues?” Luna’s mother gasped audibly. Her father put his arm around her. “Yes, your honor,” Luna said, though her voice wavered. “Then let me ask you directly: If I order you to provide Heineken with a complete list of all locations where the genetic data you released currently resides, will you comply?” The courtroom went silent. Luna could hear her own heartbeat. Sarah started to stand—”Your honor, I advise my client not to answer—” “Sit down, Ms. Kennerson. I’m asking your client a direct question. She can choose to answer or not.” Judge Ironwood’s eyes never left Luna. “Well, Ms. Reyes? Will you comply with a court order to help Heineken suppress the information you released?” Luna looked at her parents. Her mother was crying silently. Her father’s face was stone. She looked at Abuela Rosa. Her grandmother nodded once—tell the truth. Luna looked back at the judge. “No, your honor.” Barr shot to his feet. “Your honor, the defendant has just admitted she intends to defy a court order—” “I heard her, Mr. Barr.” Judge Ironwood’s voice was ice. “Ms. Reyes, do you understand you’ve just told a federal judge you will refuse a direct order?” “Yes, your honor.” “And you’re still refusing?” “Yes, your honor.” “Why?” Sarah stood quickly. “Your honor, my client doesn’t have to explain—” “I want to hear it.” Judge Ironwood leaned forward. “Ms. Reyes, tell me why you would risk jail rather than help undo what you’ve done.” Luna took a breath. Her whole body was shaking, but her voice was steady. “Because it would be wrong, your honor.” “Wrong how?” “The genetic sequences I released evolved over millions of years. Heineken didn’t create that yeast. They isolated one strain and claimed ownership of it. The code of life belongs to everyone. That’s humanity’s heritage. Even if you send me to jail, I can’t help suppress the truth.” Judge Ironwood stared at her for a long moment. “That’s a very pretty speech, Ms. Reyes. But this court operates under the law, not your personal philosophy about what should or shouldn’t be owned. Trade secret law exists. Heineken’s rights exist. And you violated those rights.” Luna did not hesitate. “With respect, your honor, I don’t think those rights should exist.” Barr exploded. “Your honor, this is outrageous! The defendant is openly stating she believes she has the right to violate any law she disagrees with—” “That’s not what I said.” Luna’s fear was transforming into something else—something harder. “I’m saying that some laws are unjust. And when laws are unjust, civil disobedience becomes necessary. People broke unjust laws during the civil rights movement. People broke unjust laws when they helped slaves escape. The constitution says members of the military do not have to obey illegal orders, despite what those in power might claim. Sometimes the law is wrong. And when the law says corporations can own genetic information about naturally occurring organisms, the law is wrong.” Judge Ironwood’s face flushed. “Ms. Reyes, you are not Rosa Parks. This is not the civil rights movement. This is a case about intellectual property theft.” “It’s a case about whether life can be property, your honor.” “Enough.” Judge Ironwood slammed her gavel. “Ms. Kennerson, control your client.” Sarah pulled Luna back into her chair. “Luna, stop talking,” she hissed. Judge Ironwood shuffled papers, visibly trying to compose herself. “I’m taking a fifteen-minute recess to consider the injunction request. We’ll reconvene at 11:30. Ms. Reyes, I strongly suggest you use this time to reconsider your position.” The gavel fell again, and Judge Ironwood swept out. The hallway outside the courtroom erupted. Reporters swarmed. Luna’s father grabbed her arm and pulled her into a witness room. Her mother followed, still crying. Maya slipped in before Sarah closed the door. “What were you thinking?” Luna’s father’s voice shook. “You just told a federal judge you’ll defy her orders. They’re going to put you in jail, Luna. Do you understand that? Jail!” “Ricardo, please—” Her mother tried to calm him. “No, Elena. Our daughter just committed contempt of court in front of fifty witnesses. They’re going to take her from us.” He turned to Luna, his eyes wet. “Why? Why couldn’t you just apologize? Say you made a mistake? We could have ended this.” “Because I didn’t make a mistake, Papa.” “You destroyed their property!” “It wasn’t their property. It was never their property.” “The law says it was!” “Then the law is wrong!” Her father stepped back as if she’d slapped him. “Do you know what your mother and I have sacrificed to keep you out of trouble? Do you know how hard we’ve worked since we came to this country to give you opportunities we never had? And you throw it away for yeast. Not for justice. Not for people. For yeast.” Luna’s eyes filled with tears. “It’s not about yeast, Papa. It’s about whether corporations get to own life. If Heineken can own yeast, why not bacteria? Why not human genes? Where does it stop?” “It stops when my daughter goes to jail!” He was shouting now. “I don’t care about Heineken. I don’t care about yeast. I care about you. And you just told that judge you’ll defy her. She’s going to put you in jail, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.” “Ricardo, por favor—” Elena put her hand on his arm. He shook it off. “No. She needs to hear this. Luna, if you go to jail, your life is over. No college will accept you. No company will hire you. You’ll have a criminal record. You’ll be marked forever. Is that what you want?” “I want to do what’s right.” “What’s right is protecting your family! What’s right is not destroying your future for a principle!” he said. Luna responded, “What’s right is not letting corporations own the code of life!”They stared at each other. Maya spoke up quietly from the corner. “Papa, she can’t back down now. The whole world is watching.” “Let the world watch someone else!” Ricardo turned on Maya. “You encourage this. You film her, you post her manifestos online, you help her become famous. You’re her sister. You’re supposed to protect her, not help her destroy herself.” “I am protecting her,” Maya said. “I’m protecting her from becoming someone who backs down when the world tells her she’s wrong, even though she knows she’s right.” Ricardo looked between his daughters. “Ambos están locos! You’re both insane.” Abuela Rosa opened the door and entered. She’d been listening from the hallway. “Ricardo, enough.” “Mama, stay out of this.” “No.” Rosa moved between Ricardo and Luna. “You’re afraid. I understand. But fear makes you cruel, mijo. Your daughter is brave. She’s doing something important. And you’re making her choose between you and what’s right. Don’t do that.” “She’s seventeen years old! She’s a child!” “She’s old enough to know right from wrong.” Rosa put her hand on Ricardo’s cheek. “When I was sixteen, I left Oaxaca with nothing but the clothes on my back and this SCOBY. Everyone said I was crazy. Your father said I would fail. But I knew I had to go, even if it cost me everything. Sometimes our children have to do things that terrify us. That’s how the world changes.” Ricardo pulled away. “If they put her in jail, will that change the world, Mama? When she’s sitting in a cell while Heineken continues doing whatever they want, will that have been worth it?” “Yes,” Luna said quietly. “Even if I go to jail, yes. Because thousands of people now have the genetic sequences, Heineken can’t put that back. They can punish me, but they can’t undo what I did. The information is free. It’s going to stay free. And if the price of that is me going to jail, then that’s the price.” Her father looked at her as if seeing her for the first time. “I don’t know who you are anymore.” “I’m still your daughter, Papa. I’m just also someone who won’t let corporations own life.” A knock on the door. Sarah poked her head in. “They’re reconvening. Luna, we need to go.” Back in the courtroom, the atmosphere had shifted. The gallery was more crowded—word had spread during the recess. Luna recognized several people from online forums. Some held signs reading “FREE LUNA” and “GENETICS BELONG TO EVERYONE.” Judge Ironwood entered and sat without ceremony. “I’ve reviewed the submissions and heard the arguments. This is my ruling.” Luna’s hand found Maya’s in the row behind her. Squeezed tight. “The question before this court is whether to grant Heineken International’s motion for a preliminary injunction requiring Ms. Reyes to assist in suppressing the genetic information she released. To grant such an injunction, Heineken must demonstrate four things: likelihood of success on the merits, likelihood of irreparable harm without the injunction, balance of equities in their favor, and that an injunction serves the public interest.” Barr was nodding. These were his arguments. “Having considered the evidence and the applicable law, I find that Heineken has demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits. Trade secret law clearly protects proprietary business information, and the A-yeast strain appears to meet the legal definition of a trade secret.” Luna’s stomach dropped. “However, I also find that Heineken has failed to demonstrate that a preliminary injunction would effectively prevent the irreparable harm they claim. Ms. Kennerson is correct that the genetic information has already been distributed to over 100,000 people worldwide. Ordering one teenager to provide a list of servers would be, in technical terms, pointless. New copies would appear faster than they could be suppressed.” Barr’s face tightened. “Furthermore, I find that the balance of equities does not favor Heineken. They ask this court to potentially incarcerate a seventeen-year-old girl for refusing to suppress information that is, by her account, factual data about naturally occurring organisms. The potential harm to Ms. Reyes—including detention, criminal record, and foreclosure of educational and career opportunities—substantially outweighs any additional harm Heineken might suffer from continued distribution of information that is already widely distributed.” Luna felt Maya’s grip tighten. Was this good? This sounded good. “Finally, and most importantly, I find that granting this injunction would not serve the public interest. The court takes judicial notice that this case has generated substantial public debate about the scope of intellectual property protection in biotechnology. The questions raised by Ms. Reyes—whether naturally occurring genetic sequences should be ownable, whether facts about nature can be trade secrets, whether knowledge can be property—are questions that deserve answers from a higher authority than this court. These are questions for appellate courts, perhaps ultimately for the Supreme Court. And they are questions best answered in the context of a full trial on the merits, not in an emergency injunction hearing.” Barr was on his feet. “Your honor—” “Sit down, Mr. Barr. I’m not finished.” He sat, his face purple. “Therefore, Heineken International’s motion for preliminary injunction is denied. Ms. Reyes will not be required to assist in suppressing the genetic information she released. However,”—Judge Ironwood looked directly at Luna—”this ruling should not be construed as approval of Ms. Reyes’ actions. Heineken’s claims for damages and other relief remain viable and will proceed to trial. Ms. Reyes, you may have won this battle, but this war is far from over. Anything you want to say?” Luna stood slowly. “Your honor, I just want to say… thank you. For letting this go to trial. For letting these questions be answered properly. That’s all I ever wanted—for someone to seriously consider whether corporations should be allowed to own genetic information about naturally occurring organisms. So thank you.” Judge Ironwood’s expression softened slightly. “Ms. Reyes, I hope you’re prepared for what comes next. Heineken has unlimited resources. They will pursue this case for years if necessary. You’ll be in litigation until you’re twenty-five years old. Your entire young adulthood will be consumed by depositions, court appearances, and legal fees. Are you prepared for that?” “Yes, your honor.” “Why?” Luna glanced at her grandmother, who nodded. “Because some questions are worth answering, your honor. Even if it takes years. Even if it costs everything. The question of whether corporations can own life—that’s worth answering. And if I have to spend my twenties answering it, then that’s what I’ll do.” Judge Ironwood studied her for a long moment. “You remind me of someone I used to know. Someone who believed the law should serve justice, not just power.” She paused. “That person doesn’t exist anymore. The law ground her down. I hope it doesn’t do the same to you.” She raised her gavel. “This hearing is adjourned. The parties will be notified of the trial date once it’s scheduled. Ms. Reyes, good luck. I think you’re going to need it.” The gavel fell. Outside the courthouse, the scene was chaotic. News cameras surrounded Luna. Reporters shouted questions. But Luna barely heard them. She was looking at her father, who stood apart from the crowd, watching her. She walked over to him. “Papa, I’m sorry I yelled.” He didn’t speak for a moment. Then he pulled her into a hug so tight it hurt. “Don’t apologize for being brave,” he whispered into her hair. “I’m just afraid of losing you.” “You won’t lose me, Papa. I promise.” “You can’t promise that. Not anymore.” He pulled back, holding her shoulders. “But I’m proud of you. I’m terrified, but I’m proud.” Her mother joined them, tears streaming down her face. “No more court. Please, no more court.” “I can’t promise that either, Mama.” Elena touched Luna’s face. “Then promise me you’ll be careful. Promise me you’ll remember that you’re not just fighting for genetics. You’re fighting for your life.” Luna smiled. “I promise.” Abuela Rosa appeared, carrying her SCOBY. “Come, mija. We should go before the reporters follow us home.” As they pushed through the crowd toward Maya’s car, Luna's phone buzzed continuously. Text messages and emails pouring in. But what caught her attention was a text from Dr. Webb: You were right. I’m sorry I doubted. Check your email—Dr. Doudna wants to talk. Luna opened her email. The subject line made her stop walking: From: jennifer.doudna@berkeley.eduSubject: Civil Disobedience of the Highest Order She started to read: Dear Ms. Reyes, I watched your hearing this morning. What you did in that courtroom—refusing to back down even when threatened with jail—was one of the bravest things I’ve seen in forty years of science. You’re not just fighting for yeast genetics. You’re fighting for the principle that knowledge about nature belongs to humanity, not to corporations. I want to help… Luna looked up at her family—her father’s worried face, her mother’s tears, Maya’s proud smile, Abuela Rosa’s serene confidence. Behind them, the courthouse where she’d nearly been sent to jail. Around them, reporters and cameras and strangers who’d traveled across the country to support her. She thought about Judge Ironwood’s warning: This war is far from over. She thought about Barr’s face when the injunction was denied. She thought about the thousands who’d downloaded the genetic sequences and were, right now, brewing with genetics that had been locked away for 158 years. Worth it. All of it. Even the fear. Maya opened the car door. “Come on, little revolutionary. Let’s go home.” The Corporate Surrender By 2045, both Heineken and Anheuser-Busch quietly dropped their lawsuits against Luna. Their legal costs had exceeded $200 million while accomplishing nothing except generating bad publicity. More importantly, their “protected” strains had become worthless in a market flooded with superior alternatives. Heineken’s CEO attempted to salvage the company by embracing open-source brewing. His announcement that Heineken would “join the La Luna Revolution” was met with skepticism from the brewing community, which recalled the company’s aggressive legal tactics. The craft brewing community’s response was hostile. “They spent two years trying to destroy her,” a prominent brewmaster told The New Brewer Magazine. “Now they want credit for ’embracing’ the revolution she forced on them? Heineken didn’t join the Luna Revolution—they surrendered to it. There’s a difference.” The global brands never recovered their market share. Luna’s Transformation Luna’s success transformed her from a garage tinkerer into a global icon of the open knowledge movement. Her 2046 TED Talk, “Why Flavor Belongs to Everyone,” went viral. She argued that corporate control over living organisms represented “biological colonialism” that impoverished human culture by restricting natural diversity. Rather than commercializing her fame, Luna founded the Global Fermentation Commons, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing microbial genetics worldwide. Their laboratories operated as open-access research facilities where anyone could experiment with biological systems. The headquarters of the Global Fermentation Commons occupied a former Genentech facility donated by Dr. Webb. Six continents, forty researchers, one mission: preserve and share microbial genetics worldwide. Luna addressed a crowded auditorium at the organization’s third anniversary. “When I released Heineken and Budweiser’s yeast strains, some people called it theft. Others called it liberation. I called it returning biological knowledge to the commons, where it belongs. Three years later, so-called Luna Variants have created economic opportunities for thousands of small brewers, improved food security in developing regions, and demonstrated that genetic freedom drives innovation faster than corporate control.” She continued. “We’re not stopping with beer. The same principles apply to all fermentation: cheese cultures, yogurt bacteria, koji fungi, sourdough starters. Every traditionally fermented food relies on microorganisms that corporations increasingly claim to own. We’re systematically liberating them.” A World Health Organization representative raised a concern: “Ms. Reyes, while we support democratizing food fermentation, there are legitimate concerns about pharmaceutical applications. What prevents someone from using your open-source genetics to create dangerous organisms?” Luna nodded. “Fair question. First, the organisms we release are food-safe cultures with centuries of safe use. Second, dangerous genetic modifications require sophisticated laboratory equipment and expertise—far beyond what releasing genetic sequences enables. Third, determined bad actors already have access to dangerous biology, enabled by AI. We’re not creating new risks; we’re democratizing beneficial biology.” “Pharmaceutical companies argue you’re undermining their investments in beneficial organisms,” another representative pressed. “Pharmaceutical companies invest in modifying organisms,” Luna clarified. “Those modifications can be patented. What we oppose is claiming ownership over naturally occurring organisms or their baseline genetics. If you genetically engineer a bacterium to produce insulin, patent your engineering. Don’t claim ownership over the bacterial species itself.” A Monsanto representative stood. “Your organization recently cracked and released our proprietary seed genetics. That’s direct theft of our property.” Luna didn’t flinch. “Seeds that farmers cultivated for thousands of years before Monsanto existed? You didn’t invent corn, wheat, or soybeans. You modified them. Your modifications may be protectable; the baseline genetics are humanity’s heritage. We’re liberating what should never have been owned.” “The ‘Luna Legion’ has cost us hundreds of millions!” the representative protested. “Good,” Luna responded calmly. “You’ve cost farmers their sovereignty for decades. Consider it karma.” After the presentation, Dr. Doudna approached Luna privately. “You’ve accomplished something remarkable,” the elderly scientist said. “When I developed Crispr, I never imagined a teenager would use similar principles to challenge corporate biology. You’re forcing conversations about genetic ownership that we’ve avoided for decades.” “It needed forcing,” Luna replied. “Corporations were quietly owning life itself, one patent at a time. Someone had to say no.” “The pharmaceutical industry is terrified of you,” Doudna continued. “They see what happened to brewing and imagine the same for their carefully controlled bacterial strains. You’re going to face even more aggressive opposition.” “I know. Once people understand that biological knowledge can be liberated, they start questioning all biological ownership. We’re not stopping.” The New Economy of Taste Following Luna’s breakthrough, peer-to-peer flavor-sharing platforms emerged as the dominant force in food culture. The “FlavorChain” blockchain allowed brewers to track genetic lineages while ensuring proper attribution to original creators. SCOBY lineages were carefully sequenced, catalogued, and registered on global blockchain ledgers. Each award-winning kombucha strain carried a “genetic passport”—its microbial makeup, the unique balance of yeasts and bacteria that gave rise to particular mouthfeel, fizz, and flavor spectrum, was mapped, hashed, and permanently recorded. Brewers who created a new flavor could claim authorship, just as musicians once copyrighted songs. No matter how many times a SCOBY was divided, its fingerprint could be verified. Fermentation Guilds formed to share recipes through FlavorChain, enabling decentralized digital markets like SymbioTrdr, built on trust and transparency rather than speculation. They allowed people to interact and transact on a global, permissionless, self-executing platform. Within days, a SCOBY strain from the Himalayas could appear in a brew in Buenos Aires, its journey traced through open ledgers showing who tended, adapted, and shared it. Kombucha recipes were no longer jealously guarded secrets. They were open to anyone who wanted to brew. With a few clicks, a Guild member in Nairobi could download the blockchain-verified SCOBY genome that had won Gold at the Tokyo Fermentation Festival. Local biotech printers—as common in 2100 kitchens as microwave ovens had once been—could reconstitute the living culture cell by cell. Children began inheriting SCOBY lineages the way earlier generations inherited family names. Weddings combined SCOBY cultures as symbolic unions. (Let’s share our SCOBYs, baby, merge our ferments into one.) When someone died, their SCOBY was divided among friends and family—a continuation of essence through taste. Kombucha was no longer merely consumed; it was communed with. This transparency transformed kombucha from a minority regional curiosity into a universal language. A festival in Brazil might feature ten local interpretations of the same “Golden SCOBY” strain—one brewed with passionfruit, another with cupuaçu, a third with açaí berries. The core microbial signature remained intact, while the terroir of fruit and spice gave each version a unique accent. Brewers didn’t lose their craft—they gained a canvas. Award-winning SCOBYs were the foundations on which endless new flavor experiments flourished. Many people were now as prolific as William Esslinger, the founder of St Louis’s Confluence Kombucha, who was renowned for developing 800 flavors in the 2020s. Code of Symbiosis The Symbiosis Code, ratified at the first World Fermentation Gathering in Reykjavik (2063), bound Fermentation Guilds to three principles: Transparency — All microbial knowledge is to be shared freely. Reciprocity — No brew should be produced without acknowledging the source. Community — Every fermentation must nourish more than the brewer. This code replaced corporate law. It was enforced by reputation, not by governments. A Guild member who betrayed the code found their SCOBYs mysteriously refusing to thrive—a poetic justice the biologists never quite explained. Every Guild had elders—called Mothers of the Jar or Keepers of the Yeast. They carried living SCOBYs wrapped in silk pouches when traveling, exchanging fragments as blessings. These elders became moral anchors of the age, counselors and mediators trusted more than politicians. When disputes arose—over territory, resources, or ethics—brewers, not lawyers, met to share a round of Truth Brew, a ferment so balanced that it was said to reveal dishonesty through bitterness. The Fullness of Time The International Biotech Conference of 2052 invited Luna to give the closing keynote—a controversial decision that prompted several corporate sponsors to withdraw support. The auditorium was packed with supporters, critics, and the merely curious. “Nine years ago, I released genetic sequences for beer yeast strains protected as trade secrets. I was called a thief, a bioterrorist, worse. Today, I want to discuss what we’ve learned from those years of open-source biology.” She displayed a chart showing the explosion of brewing innovation since 2043. “In the traditional corporate model, a few companies control a few strains, producing a limited variety. With the open-source model, thousands of brewers using thousands of variants, producing infinite diversity. As Duff McDonald wrote “Anything that alive contains the universe, or infinite possibility. Kombucha is infinite possibility in a drink.” And the results speak for themselves—flavor innovation accelerated a thousand-fold when we removed corporate control.” A student activist approached the microphone. “Ms. Reyes, you’ve inspired movements to liberate seed genetics, soil bacteria, and traditional medicine cultures. The ‘Luna Legion’ is spreading globally. What’s your message to young people who want to continue this work?” Luna smiled. “First, understand the risks. I was sued by multinational corporations, received death threats, spent years fighting legal battles. This work has costs. Second, be strategic. Release information you’ve generated yourself through legal methods—no hacking, no theft. Third, build communities. I survived because people supported me—legally, financially, emotionally. You can’t fight corporations alone. Finally, remember why you’re doing it: to return biological knowledge to the commons where it belongs. That purpose will sustain you through the hard parts.” Teaching By twenty-eight, Luna was a MacArthur Fellow, teaching fermentation workshops in a converted Anheuser-Busch facility. As she watched her students—former corporate employees learning to think like ecosystems rather than factories—she reflected that her teenage hack had accomplished more than liberating yeast genetics. She had helped humanity remember that flavor, like knowledge, grows stronger when shared rather than hoarded. Luna’s garage had evolved into a sophisticated community biolab. The original jury-rigged equipment had been replaced with professional gear funded by her MacArthur Fellowship. Abuela Rosa still maintained her fermentation crocks in the corner—a reminder of where everything started. A group of five

Voici l'Évangile du jeudi 25 septembre 2025 : « Jean, je l'ai fait décapiter. Mais qui est cet homme dont j'entends dire de telles choses ? » (Lc 9, 7-9) En ce temps-là, Hérode, qui était au pouvoir en Galilée, entendit parler de tout ce qui se passait et il ne savait que penser. En effet, certains disaient que Jean le Baptiste était ressuscité d'entre les morts. D'autres disaient : « C'est le prophète Élie qui est apparu. » D'autres encore : « C'est un prophète d'autrefois qui est ressuscité. » Quant à Hérode, il disait : « Jean, je l'ai fait décapiter. Mais qui est cet homme dont j'entends dire de telles choses ? » Et il cherchait à le voir.   Cet enregistrement est proposé bénévolement pour répandre la Parole de Dieu

Qu'est-ce que l'expérience spirituelle a à nous apporter ? De quoi vient-elle, en quelque sorte, nous guérir ? Nous en parlons avec mon ami Jean-Luc Giribone, penseur et écrivain. Le livre de Jean-Luc : https://www.seuil.com/ouvrage/par-dela-la-sagesse-jean-luc-giribone/9782021529531 Mon site : https://www.fabricemidal.comFacebook Fabrice Midal : https://www.facebook.com/FabriceMidalFacebook du podcast Dialogues : https://www.facebook.com/dialogues.fmInstagram Fabrice Midal : https://www.instagram.com/fabricemidalInstagram du podcast Dialogues : https://www.instagram.com/fabricemidal_dialogues/Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@fabricemidal Mes trois chaînes YouTube :Mes vidéos : https://www.youtube.com/@fabricemidal1Les Dialogues : https://www.youtube.com/@dialoguesfmLes méditations guidées : https://www.youtube.com/@mediteravecfabricemidal  Reso, mon école de méditation :https://www.reso.cohttps://www.facebook.com/reso.meditationhttps://www.instagram.com/reso_meditation Mots clé : Les voies spirituelles apparaissent au premier abord très différentes les unes des autres : on ne voit guère ce qui rassemble la méditation assise, l'art des compositions florales et la pratique des arts martiaux. Et encore moins ce qui les rapproche de la « nuit obscure » de Jean de la Croix, ou de l'« expérience intérieure » de Georges Bataille. Mais la pluralité même de ces pratiques fait surgir la question de ce qui les réunit – qu'ont-elles en commun ? Comment changent-elles notre vision du monde, des choses, des théories et, plus profondément, notre rapport à la vie ? Et finalement, qu'est-ce qu'une « voie » ? Que veut dire ce mot, quand on tente d'en explorer la profondeur ?Telles sont les questions auxquelles veut répondre ce livre qui, en suivant l'itinéraire d'un « chercheur spirituel », et en faisant jouer divers éclairages venus de la psychanalyse, de la psychothérapie et des sciences humaines, explore les fondamentaux de ces pratiques de soi. Jean-Luc Giribone, ancien élève de l'ENS (Ulm), agrégé de lettres, s'intéresse à la pratique spirituelle depuis plus de trente ans.

Au risque d'être traité de boomer ou autre qualificatif en raison de mon âge, je crois sincèrement que l'autorité d'hier et l'autorité d'aujourd'hui non plus ni le même sens ni la même autorité, que cela soit à l'école, à la maison ou dans la rue. Alors comme moi, d'autres pensent que la société française manque d'autorité. Bien que formulé de manière originale, il s'agit d'un sujet donné l'année dernière au Grand Oral de l'ENM. Nous vivons désormais dans un monde où « on » c'est-à-dire n'importe qui peut dire n'importe quoi. Est-ce dire n'importe quoi que de dire que la société française manque d'autorité ? Et est-ce dit si souvent, et à quelles occasions, dans quelles circonstances ? Est-ce une réalité ou l'expression d'un ressenti ? Ce ressenti repose t'il sur des faits vérifiables ? N'y a-t-il pas une confusion entre autorité et sécurité ? Telles sont les questions au sujet desquelles il conviendra de s'interroger pour tenter de répondre à cette question. Pour répondre à ces questions, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Isabelle DEFARGE, Présidente de chambre à la Cour d'appel de Nîmes.

L'auteur compositeur interprète franco-syrien publie un récit de son parcours de vie, dédié à la poésie et à la musique. Abed Azrié nous raconte son parcours passionnant depuis la Syrie natale. Élevé par une mère qui « voyait la couleur et le printemps en tout, elle a planté en nous le verbe « aimer », Abed est très tôt fasciné par les instruments de musique. À huit ans, enfant de chœur, il voulait jouer de l'orgue à l'église, et chaque dimanche, courait les messes des différents rites, byzantine, catholique, orthodoxe, chaldéenne, syriaque, arménienne, latine et protestante. Son arrivée à Paris, en 1965 à l'âge de dix-neuf ans, marque le début de sa formation musicale. Il intègre l'école Martenot puis l'école normale de musique, apprend la langue en traduisant de la poésie française vers l'arabe, et devient un chanteur et compositeur incontournable, qui renouvelle la musique orientale. Son parcours est semé de rencontres incroyables qui ont illuminé son chemin, sa mère, ses sœurs, le père Balian, Maurice Martenot, Jean Picart le Doux, sa découverte des auteurs soufis et la mythologie mésopotamienne, sa rencontre avec Pierre Petit, Adonis, Nadia Boulanger, Ziryâb, Omar Khayyâm, Goethe, Gilgamesh, Sargon, Jeanine et Jacques Guipon... Abed Azrié nous ouvre les pages de son histoire, ses grands-parents et leur fuite à Alep en 1915 lors du génocide des Arméniens, mêlée à ce qui l'inspire : les musiques, les mythes et légendes mésopotamiennes, les religions monothéistes, leurs récits et leurs archétypes. « Une vie entière pour apprendre cette phrase de Gilgamesh : Se renouveler en permanence ». « Pour la musique, le chant, fidélité d'en deçà et de toujours, merci Abed Azrié. » - René Char « Abed Azrié est un merveilleux chanteur et auteur. » - Léonard Cohen Abed Azrié (né en 1946) est un compositeur et chanteur franco-syrien, traducteur et écrivain de langues française et arabe. Auteur d'une vingtaine d'albums, de plusieurs musiques de films et de différents livres, il a notamment traduit «L'Épopée de Gilgamesh» qu'il a mise en musique et chantée, ainsi que «L'Évangile selon Saint-Jean». Titres diffusés : La Parole, extrait de l'Évangile selon Saint-Jean (2009). L'œuvre est composée de 44 courtes scènes chantées. « Telles des miniatures, des fragments d'un rêve lointain et des épisodes successifs de vie transcrits en musique », écrit Abed Azrié dans le livret accompagnant ce coffret de deux CD. Le Souffle de la Brise, extrait de Mystic (2007). L'Amour Soufi est avant tout un chemin de connaissance ; il n'est pas simplement sentiment ou émotions, mais il est la chaleur d'un feu divin dont la lumière est la « Gnose » ; un feu dont l'étincelle brille au plus profond de l'âme humaine. La pensée des Soufis qui trouve Dieu dans toute chose, nous conduit à l'amour entre le divin et l'humain, mais également entre l'humain et l'humain. Elle nous conduit à l'unité des religions en une seule dite « religion de l'amour », selon l'expression d'Ibn Arabi, car chaque croyant adore son Dieu qui n'est en fin de compte que l'une des manifestations du Dieu Unique ; celui qui est proclamé dans toutes les prières depuis le commencement de la vie jusqu'à la fin des temps.

L'émission 28 minutes du 28/07/2025 Jean-Baptiste Del Amo : l'écrivain qui donne la chair de pouleUne maison magnétique, une bande d'adolescents, un décès dans d'étranges circonstances et les lotissements d'une banlieue pavillonnaire de Toulouse comme décor. Telles sont les composantes du nouvel ouvrage de Jean-Baptiste Del Amo, “La Nuit ravagée” (paru dans la collection Blanche de chez Gallimard). L'écrivain confie puiser son inspiration dans l'œuvre de Stephen King mais également — et surtout — dans ses propres questionnements et traumatismes. En découle un poignant récit, qui rend hommage au cinéma d'horreur des années 1990.Israël-Palestine : la relance de la solution à deux États est-elle crédible ?Ce lundi 28 juillet s'ouvre une conférence sur la Palestine au siège des Nations Unies. Convoquée par l'assemblée générale de l'ONU, elle est co-présidée par la France et l'Arabie Saoudite et ambitionne de raviver la solution à deux États, malgré le refus d'Israël d'y participer. Le 24 juillet, Emmanuel Macron avait annoncé "la pleine reconnaissance de la Palestine" par la France d'ici septembre. Cette annonce a provoqué l'ire d'Israël, qui est par ailleurs vertement critiqué pour ses agissements dans la bande de Gaza. Outre le blocus humanitaire imposé depuis mars, qui y créé les conditions d'une famine, partiellement desserré ce week-end, le territoire palestinien est soumis à des bombardements indiscriminés et quotidiens depuis 21 mois. Parallèlement, 700 000 colons israéliens sont installés sur les territoires palestiniens, en toute illégalité au regard du droit international. Autant de raisons qui rendent abstraite la perspective d'un État palestinien. La solution à deux États est-elle encore crédible ? Enfin, Quentin Darmon dresse le portrait de Luke Littler, sacré champion du monde de fléchettes et fin amateur de kebabs et de jeux vidéo. Marjorie Adelson se penche sur les vacances des Français, devenues un véritable marqueur social au point qu'un Français sur deux avoue avoir déjà menti sur ses vacances. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

C'est un nouveau phénomène. En Afrique, de plus en plus de pays se livrent à une « guerre » de leurs espaces aériens. Dernier exemple en date : en avril dernier, le Mali et l'Algérie, réciproquement, se sont fermés leurs espaces aériens. Le Niger a fait de même contre la France. Et la République démocratique du Congo a pris la même mesure contre le Rwanda. Quelles conséquences pour les compagnies aériennes et pour les passagers ? Ibra Wane est le directeur, pour l'Afrique, du courtier aérien français Avico, qui est spécialisé dans la location d'avions et de moteurs d'avion. En ligne de Dakar, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Depuis la dernière crise entre le Mali et l'Algérie en avril dernier, les deux pays se sont mutuellement fermé leurs espaces aériens. Et concrètement, les avions Paris-Abidjan, par exemple, ne peuvent plus survoler le Mali s'ils sont passés au-dessus de l'Algérie : ils doivent donc faire un grand détour par le Maroc et le Sénégal à l'ouest. Quelles conséquences pour les passagers ? Ibra Wane : La première conséquence, c'est d'abord pour les compagnies aériennes elles-mêmes, parce que ça allonge beaucoup le temps de vol. Ça peut aller jusqu'à même 50 minutes de temps de vol supplémentaire, ce qui renchérit donc le coût du carburant, le coût d'exploitation global de la compagnie. Et comme vous le savez, le poste de carburant est le premier poste de coûts directs pour une compagnie aérienne. Imaginez donc un allongement du temps de vol de 50 minutes, ce que ça peut être comme coûts supplémentaires. Est-ce que, du coup, les passagers de Corsair, de SN Brussels, de British Airways ou d'Air France payent plus cher leur billet depuis le mois d'avril ? Non, je ne pourrais pas dire que ces passagers payent plus cher les billets, parce que les compagnies aériennes ont chacune une politique commerciale différente. Je ne suis pas certain que toutes les compagnies aient répercuté le surcoût sur les billets des passagers. Mais il est clair qu'un surenchérissement des coûts qui perdure, cela mènera forcément à une augmentation des tarifs à long terme. Et ces 50 minutes de vol supplémentaires représentent quelle surconsommation de kérosène ? Cela représente à peu près jusqu'à un sixième ou un septième de surconsommation de kérosène pour tout le vol. Si vous avez un vol Paris-Abidjan par exemple, qui fait six heures et que vous augmentez 50 minutes de vol, c'est presque une heure de vol de plus. Vous voyez, vous avez augmenté à peu près un sixième de vos coûts de carburant et c'est énorme. Alors, on dit beaucoup qu'Air France est la compagnie internationale la plus impactée par tous ces événements. Mais est-ce que la compagnie Air Algérie n'est pas aussi touchée ? Elle l'est forcément, notamment en ce qui concerne le Mali. Je m'explique. Un avion qui survole l'Algérie n'a pas le droit de survoler le Mali et vice versa. Bien entendu, si les vols d'Air Algérie vers l'Afrique passaient par le Mali, tous ces vols-là sont complètement impactés. Absolument. Autre événement politique qui impacte le transport aérien, le putsch de juillet 2023 au Niger. Depuis cette date, les avions français n'ont plus le droit de survoler ce pays qui représente un cinquième de la superficie totale de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et qui est au carrefour de plusieurs couloirs aériens. Quelles conséquences pour Air France ? Vous savez, selon la convention de Chicago, chaque État a la souveraineté complète et exclusive sur l'espace aérien au-dessus de son territoire. C'est ce qui s'est passé avec le Niger. C'est une affaire bilatérale entre le Niger et la France. La conséquence immédiate, c'est qu'aucun avion français ne peut survoler le territoire nigérien. Il faut donc passer par l'est ou par l'ouest pour pouvoir rallier des territoires au sud du Niger, sur le continent africain. Et quand on regarde une carte de l'Afrique, on voit que, pour aller par exemple de Paris à Douala ou de Paris à Kinshasa, il faut survoler le Niger, sinon il faut faire un énorme détour ? Il faut faire un énorme détour, en effet. Absolument. Autre évènement politique : la conquête de Goma par les rebelles du M23 et l'armée rwandaise. Depuis ce mois de février, la République démocratique du Congo interdit le survol de son territoire aux avions rwandais. Est-ce que la compagnie RwandAir est impactée par cette mesure ? Ah oui, elle est forcément impactée. De toute façon, le territoire de la RDC, comme vous le savez, est tellement vaste par rapport au Rwanda que la plupart des vols vers l'ouest du Rwanda devaient passer par ce territoire-là. C'est vrai que cette compagnie est totalement impactée, en effet. L'un des faits majeurs de ces deux dernières années, c'est donc la fermeture de l'espace aérien du Niger à tous les avions français. Est-ce que cette mesure très restrictive profite à d'autres compagnies ? Je ne crois pas. Quand il y a une restriction, cela ne profite à personne, ni au pays qui a restreint, ni aux compagnies. Donc, nous espérons, nous, dans notre profession, que cette affaire connaîtra un épilogue favorable dans les meilleurs délais, aussi bien en ce qui concerne le Mali et l'Algérie que le Niger, parce que cela ne profite pas du tout à l'activité. C'est une crise. Ça renchérit les coûts aussi bien pour les compagnies aériennes que pour les populations et que pour les passagers. Donc cela n'a aucun bénéfice pour personne. Mais maintenant qu'Air France et Corsair ne peuvent plus atterrir à Niamey, à Agadez ou à Zinder, il y a nécessairement d'autres compagnies qui en profitent ? Je ne crois pas. D'abord, Corsair n'y allait pas, de toute façon. C'est Air France qui allait à Niamey, tout simplement. Et de toute façon, il ne faut pas oublier que cette affaire du Niger avec la France s'accompagne aussi d'une restriction des voyages eux-mêmes, parce que les problèmes de visas se posent aussi. Je crois que les relations sont telles que les voyages vont être complètement réduits. Oui, le flux des passagers a diminué sur les vols à destination du Sahel, c'est ça ? C'est ça. Absolument.

C dans l'air du 7 juin 2025 - Budget : Une "année blanche" pour trouver 40 milliards ?« Encombrement » et « excès des fraudes ». Telles sont les raisons invoquées cette semaine au Sénat par le ministre de l'Économie, Éric Lombard, pour suspendre temporairement MaPrimeRénov'. L'enveloppe budgétaire aurait été consommée, le gouvernement veut donc remettre à plat ce levier pour encourager la rénovation énergétique des logements.De quoi mettre vent debout l'opposition de gauche. « Votre gouvernement accélère son désengagement brutal du financement de la transition écologique », a dénoncé le sénateur écologiste Ronan Dantec. « Une fois réglé, le processus pourra continuer » a voulu rassurer Lombard. En attendant, les particuliers doivent toujours patienter longtemps avant de recevoir l'aide promise. C dans l'air a rencontré un habitant de Clamart (Hauts-de-Seine) qui attend désespérément 40.000 euros suite à la rénovation de son logement.Cette suspension arrive au moment où le gouvernement cherche 40 milliards d'euros pour renflouer les caisses de l'État. C'est l'équation sur laquelle planche Bercy pour le budget 2026. Plusieurs pistes se dessinent comme celle de la TVA sociale. Mais cette mesure a ses détracteurs : les syndicats, la gauche, et le RN, qui pourrait censurer François Bayrou sur ce motif. Celui-ci évoque aussi la possibilité d'une année blanche pour geler tous les budgets, comme les allocations, le portefeuille des collectivités ou l'indexation des retraites - sujet hautement sensible. Le Premier ministre, qui a annoncé qu'il allait demander "un effort à tous les Français", a fixé le 14 juillet comme date limite pour présenter son plan d'économies. L'impossible équation budgétaire est aussi l'occasion pour plusieurs ténors de se positionner pour 2027. Dans son dernier livre, Édouard Philippe prône la rigueur budgétaire mais Xavier Bertrand l'accuse d'être en partie responsable du bilan macroniste. La popularité de Philippe est aussi rattrapée par celle de Bruno Retailleau. Beaucoup verrait bien le très droitier ministre de l'Intérieur à l'Élysée. Alors, quels sont les problèmes de MaPrimeRénov' ? François Bayrou fera-t-il passer son budget 2026 ?

Episode 135 Doe ID: Maria Telles-Gonzalez   On May 24, 1995, the partially nude body of an unidentified woman was found by a highway worker in a drainage ditch on Cottonhall Road in Yemassee, South Carolina. Authorities believed that the woman, who was Hispanic, had been strangled to death. Police didn't have much to go on, but they scoured missing persons cases across SC and nearby states looking for a victim who might fit the description of their Jane Doe, but they could not find one. They theorized that she had been driven quite some distance before her remains were discarded. With no leads to go on her case went cold. In 2020, officials turned to the victim's DNA for help, and began the process of identifying her through genealogy. They hit pay dirt in 2022. The Yemassee Jane Doe was actually Maria Telles-Gonzalez, a 36 yr old woman who vanished from Kissimmee, Florida in May, 1995 after returning from a trip to Puerto Rico. She was last seen by her husband and children in the weeks before her body was found, but she wasn't reported missing. Due to the fact she wasn't reported missing, and a lack of complete cooperation from her husband, police consider him a person of interest. Police also want to ID a male associate of Maria's who may have been in a relationship with her. They don't know much about him other than he was Hispanic, and his name was Carlos. He stands about 5-foot-8 or 5-foot-10, speaks Spanish and English very well. He may be living in the Orlando or Kissimmee area, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Now police are working to find out who murdered Maria and dumped her body. Anyone with information about Maria Telles-Gonzalez's disappearance and murder is urged to contact cold case investigator Bob Bromage at 843-816-8013 or by email at robertb@bcgov.net Maria Telles-Gonzalez now has her name back, and this is her story.  To listen to every episode of DNA: ID ad-free and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.

Robert Telles, a former Democratic official in Las Vegas, has been sentenced to at least 28 years in a Nevada state prison for the murder of Jeff German, an investigative journalist with the *Las Vegas Review-Journal*, who was killed in 2022. Telles, 47, was convicted in August of first-degree murder, with the sentence enhanced by the judge due to his use of a deadly weapon and the age of his victim, who was 69 at the time of his death. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, speaking after the sentencing, noted the severity of the sentence. "The judge couldn't sentence him to any more time," Wolfson remarked. "She gave him the maximum." The sentence includes a minimum term of 20 years to life, extended by an additional eight years due to the aggravating factors. The motive behind German's murder stemmed from a series of articles he wrote in 2022, where he exposed misconduct and turmoil within Telles' office, as well as a romantic relationship between Telles and a female employee. Telles, who at the time managed the Clark County Public Administrator/Guardian office, faced significant backlash and ultimately lost his primary election for a second term. Following German's reporting, Telles was arrested, stripped of his position, and had his law license suspended. At trial, Telles denied the charges, testifying that he was framed by a conspiracy involving various entities, including a real estate company, law enforcement, and DNA analysts. Despite his claims, substantial evidence led to his conviction, including DNA matching his profile found under German's fingernails and surveillance footage showing a person in an outfit resembling Telles'. Prosecutor Pamela Weckerly argued that Telles killed German because "he didn't like what Mr. German had written about him" and felt the reporting cost him his elected position. "This type of violence, this sort of political violence, is unacceptable and dangerous for a community as a whole," Weckerly emphasized. During the trial, evidence presented included footage of a person wearing a broad straw hat and an orange shirt, identified as the suspected killer, lurking near German's residence on the day of the murder. Investigators later discovered a maroon SUV matching the description of a vehicle seen in the footage at Telles' residence, as well as remnants of a straw hat and athletic shoe similar to those worn by the individual seen in the video. After his conviction, Telles offered his condolences to German's family but continued to deny responsibility for the crime. "I understand the desire to seek justice and hold somebody accountable for this," he stated in court. "But I did not kill Mr. German." Telles' defense attorney, Robert Draskovich, requested leniency from the court, mentioning that Telles intends to appeal. "The sentence was not surprising," Draskovich said afterward. "We fulfilled our defense obligation. We parted on good terms. [Telles] preserved all his rights for appeal." Draskovich subsequently withdrew from the case following the sentencing. German's death marked the only murder of a journalist in the United States in 2022, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which has documented 17 killings of media workers in the U.S. since 1992. He was a respected journalist with 44 years of experience reporting on crime, courts, and political corruption in Las Vegas. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

During the trial, evidence presented included footage of a person wearing a broad straw hat and an orange shirt, identified as the suspected killer, lurking near German's residence on the day of the murder. Investigators later discovered a maroon SUV matching the description of a vehicle seen in the footage at Telles' residence, as well as remnants of a straw hat and athletic shoe similar to those worn by the individual seen in the video. After his conviction, Telles offered his condolences to German's family but continued to deny responsibility for the crime. "I understand the desire to seek justice and hold somebody accountable for this," he stated in court. "But I did not kill Mr. German." Telles' defense attorney, Robert Draskovich, requested leniency from the court, mentioning that Telles intends to appeal. "The sentence was not surprising," Draskovich said afterward. "We fulfilled our defense obligation. We parted on good terms. [Telles] preserved all his rights for appeal." Draskovich subsequently withdrew from the case following the sentencing. German's death marked the only murder of a journalist in the United States in 2022, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which has documented 17 killings of media workers in the U.S. since 1992. He was a respected journalist with 44 years of experience reporting on crime, courts, and political corruption in Las Vegas. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Robert Telles, the former Clark County Public Administrator found guilty of murdering investigative journalist Jeff German, will soon face his final sentencing. Telles, who was convicted in August for repeatedly stabbing German, faces life in prison with the potential for parole after 20 years. However, the final decision on his sentence rests with District Judge Michelle Leavitt, who will decide how sentence enhancements will impact the length of his prison term. Telles was found guilty of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon against a victim aged 60 or older. The enhancement allows Judge Leavitt to adjust the minimum time Telles will spend in prison before being eligible for parole. This addition could extend his minimum term by anywhere from one to eight years, meaning he might face between 19 and 26 years before parole eligibility, considering the two years he has already spent in jail since his arrest. On Wednesday, both sides will have the opportunity to make their final arguments. Telles' attorney, Robert Draskovich, is expected to advocate for a lesser sentence, while prosecutors aim to emphasize Telles' lack of remorse. Throughout his trial, Telles has maintained his innocence, claiming he was framed and denying any involvement in German's murder. During the sentencing phase of the trial, German's family provided insights into the journalist's legacy. German moved from Milwaukee to Las Vegas to work for the *Las Vegas Sun* before joining the *Review-Journal*, where he made a name for himself covering organized crime and engaging in numerous investigative projects. His sister, Julie Smith, shared that German had an almost photographic memory, a keen eye for reporting, and a deep love for sports. German's brother added that even at 69, German had “no interest in retiring,” demonstrating a lifelong dedication to journalism. “Jeff was deeply committed to his work, to exposing the truth,” Smith said. “He loved his family, and he loved what he did.” Although Telles has consistently denied responsibility for the murder, prosecutors argue that the crime was motivated by German's investigative articles that shed light on Telles' alleged misconduct as a public official. These reports examined claims of workplace hostility and ethical concerns during Telles' time as Clark County Public Administrator. Draskovich has stated that Telles intends to appeal the case, although he did not respond to recent requests for additional comment. German's family and supporters are now awaiting the final sentence, which could keep Telles in prison for decades. His case underscores the risks journalists face when reporting on controversial topics, especially those related to public corruption and misconduct. Telles will have a chance to address the judge on Wednesday before his final sentence is issued. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Clark County judge has denied convicted murderer Robert Telles' request for a hearing to explore potential juror misconduct during his trial. Telles, a former Las Vegas politician, was convicted on Aug. 28 of murdering investigative journalist Jeff German in 2022. The jury sentenced him to serve 20 years to life in prison. Telles' legal team, led by attorney Robert Draskovich, had filed a motion asking for an evidentiary hearing, citing concerns about the jury's deliberation process. According to the motion, one of the jurors disclosed that the jury had been deadlocked at a pivotal moment in the trial. "We informed the judge that it was 11 to one, we're a hung jury, and the marshal came back and informed us what the judge said was to keep working,” Juror No. 6 told reporters in an anonymous interview following the trial. Despite the jury's initial deadlock, they eventually reached a unanimous verdict, finding Telles guilty of the brutal murder of German, who was well-known for his investigative reporting on corruption in Las Vegas, including pieces on Telles himself. German, a seasoned reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, was found stabbed to death outside his home in September 2022. In his request for a hearing, Telles' attorney argued that the jury's deadlock and the judge's instructions to continue deliberations warranted further examination. Draskovich called for the jurors to be questioned to “clarify, supplement, and protect” the trial record. The defense also raised concerns about comments made by a juror regarding the weather on the day of the murder and the significance of the case for journalism. However, prosecutors argued that questioning jurors about their internal deliberations would be improper. Citing state and federal laws, they emphasized that jurors' thought processes during deliberations cannot be used to challenge a verdict. “Calling jurors in to discuss this matter at an evidentiary hearing would be improper as it clearly falls within ambit of delving into a juror's internal thought process at some point of the deliberation,” prosecutors stated in their response. Judge Michelle Leavitt, who presided over the trial, agreed with the prosecution and denied the request for a hearing. She ruled that there was no legal basis for further inquiry into the jury's deliberations. While the jury has already sentenced Telles for German's murder, Judge Leavitt will still need to sentence him for additional charges, including the use of a deadly weapon and the fact that German was over 60 years old at the time of the crime. Telles' sentencing on these enhancements is scheduled for Oct. 16. The case, which drew national attention due to the high-profile nature of both the victim and the accused, continues to resonate, particularly in the journalism community. German's work had exposed several controversies in Las Vegas, including his investigations into Telles' misconduct in his role as a public administrator. Telles maintains his innocence and has vowed to appeal the conviction. However, with the denial of his request for a hearing, his legal options are becoming increasingly limited as he awaits the final sentencing. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the trial of Robert Telles, who is accused of murdering journalist Jeff German. Dreeke criticizes Telles' defense strategy, particularly his attempt to promote a convoluted conspiracy theory involving a real estate agency and numerous entities allegedly plotting to frame him. Dreeke argues that this theory lacks credibility, noting that the idea of multiple parties risking their reputations and safety to frame Telles, a relatively unknown public administrator, is implausible. He points out that Telles' belief in such a conspiracy reveals his inflated sense of self-importance. Dreeke also highlights the unlikelihood of any extensive conspiracy, explaining that murder-for-hire plots typically unravel when more than two people are involved due to human error and the unhealthy mental states of those involved. The discussion concludes with Dreeke questioning Telles' competence as both a defendant and a lawyer, suggesting that his failure to provide any substantial case law or examples to support his defense further undermines his credibility. - Robin Dreeke critiques Robert Telles' conspiracy theory defense as lacking credibility and coherence. - Telles' theory suggests multiple entities conspired to frame him for the murder of Jeff German, which Dreeke finds implausible. - Dreeke highlights that Telles' inflated self-importance is evident in his belief that many would risk everything to frame him. - The podcast discusses the inherent flaws in conspiracy theories, especially involving multiple people who are likely to make mistakes. - Dreeke points out the lack of concrete evidence or precedent in Telles' defense strategy. - The conversation underscores Telles' poor performance on the stand and questions his abilities as a lawyer. - The podcast provides insight into why the jury might be skeptical of Telles' far-fetched narrative. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #ConspiracyTheory #CourtroomStrategy #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke provides analysis on the testimony of Robert Telles, who is accused of murdering journalist Jeff German. Dreeke highlights several inconsistencies in Telles' statements, noting that his testimony is filled with vague language and noncommittal answers, which Dreeke interprets as attempts to avoid the truth. Telles' recounting of his activities on the day of the murder, such as "going for a walk" or "watching TV or working," lacks specificity and is inconsistent with his usual behavior patterns, raising suspicion. Dreeke also discusses Telles' use of unusual speech patterns and "word blocking" when discussing uncomfortable topics like his extramarital affair, suggesting these are indicators of deception. Furthermore, Telles' admission that he lied about the extent of his relationship with Roberta Lee points to an attempt to control the narrative around his actions. Dreeke concludes that Telles' behaviors, both verbal and nonverbal, demonstrate significant signs of stress and potential deception, particularly when discussing sensitive subjects. He emphasizes the importance of detecting deviations from normal behavior patterns as key in understanding whether someone is being truthful or deceptive. - Robin Dreeke analyzes Robert Telles' courtroom testimony and behavior for signs of deception. - Telles' vague and non-specific language about his activities on the day of Jeff German's murder is seen as suspicious. - Dreeke identifies "word blocking" and tempo shifts in Telles' speech as indicators of discomfort or dishonesty. - Telles admitted to lying about his affair with Roberta Lee, adding to suspicions about his overall credibility. - Dreeke emphasizes the importance of detecting deviations from normal behavior to assess truthfulness. - The analysis highlights the inconsistencies in Telles' statements as potential evidence of his involvement in the crime. - Dreeke suggests Telles' behavior demonstrates significant stress and potential deception under scrutiny. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #CourtroomTestimony #DeceptionAnalysis #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Laurie Gilbertson analyzes the trial of Robert Telles, who was found guilty of murdering journalist Jeff German. The conversation focuses on Telles's bizarre defense strategy, which involved promoting a conspiracy theory that numerous entities, including law enforcement and the public administrator's office, were willing to kill a journalist to frame him. This strategy highlighted Telles's inflated sense of self-importance and narcissism, which was evident in his facial expressions and courtroom behavior. Despite the clear lack of evidence supporting his conspiracy claims, the jury took two days to reach a guilty verdict, reflecting the complexity of juror deliberations. The discussion also touches on the unpredictable nature of jury decisions and the psychological nuances involved, such as potential empathy towards defendants who take the stand. Telles's courtroom antics, including wearing a costume that resembled a Halloween outfit, seemed to have played a role in his relatively light sentence. Gilbertson reflects on the challenges faced by prosecutors in presenting a clear narrative to juries, particularly when the defendant's behavior complicates the perception of guilt. The podcast ends with a discussion about Telles's future in prison, suggesting that his personality traits may lead to further complications or even allow him to exploit his legal background. - Robert Telles was found guilty of murdering journalist Jeff German. - Telles's defense strategy included an unfounded conspiracy theory, revealing his narcissistic traits. - The jury's deliberation took two days despite the apparent lack of evidence supporting Telles's claims. - Telles's courtroom behavior and conspiracy theories highlighted his distorted sense of reality. - The discussion explores the complexity of jury dynamics and the unpredictable nature of their decisions. - Telles's eccentric behavior, such as wearing a costume, may have influenced his lighter sentence. - The podcast considers how Telles's personality and legal background might affect his life in prison. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #ConspiracyTheory #CourtroomDrama #JuryDeliberation #LegalStrategy #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the surprising verdict in the trial of Robert Telles, who was convicted of murdering Las Vegas reporter Jeff German. Faddis and Brueski express shock at the jury's decision to sentence Telles to life with the possibility of parole after 20 years, considering the overwhelming evidence against him. They delve into the peculiarities of jury deliberations, highlighting that two jurors were reportedly fixated on the fact that Telles wore a wig as part of a disguise, leading to a compromise verdict rather than a full life sentence. Faddis criticizes the implausibility of Telles' defense theory, which suggested a convoluted conspiracy involving a real estate company and a hitman. Both Faddis and Brueski underscore the unpredictability of jury decisions and question whether the jurors fully understood the absurdity of the defense's claims.

In a discussion on "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes Robert Telles' behavior during his trial for the murder of Jeff German. Dreeke critiques Telles' use of language, highlighting how he avoids direct denials and instead uses phrases like "I'd like to think I wouldn't do that," which suggests a lack of sincerity and truthfulness. He observes that Telles' body language, including defensive postures like holding his fist near his chin, indicates discomfort and attempts to conceal his true emotions. Dreeke compares Telles' behavior to other high-profile defendants, noting similarities to Lori Vallow's delusions but describing Telles as a higher-functioning sociopath. He argues that Telles' apparent belief in his own false narrative is characteristic of someone with a serious disconnect from reality, possibly edging towards psychopathy. Dreeke also discusses the implications of Telles' actions and speech patterns, suggesting that his lack of empathy and emotional connection to others reveals his psychological state. The conversation underscores the importance of analyzing both verbal and nonverbal cues to understand a defendant's mindset and potential guilt. - Robin Dreeke critiques Robert Telles' language and behavior as indicative of dishonesty and lack of sincerity. - Telles frequently uses non-committal phrases instead of outright denials, suggesting he is not fully truthful. - Dreeke highlights Telles' defensive body language, such as holding his fist to his chin, as signs of discomfort. - The podcast compares Telles' behavior to that of Lori Vallow, but notes Telles' higher cognitive functioning. - Dreeke suggests Telles may be a high-functioning sociopath, lacking empathy and emotional connections. - Telles' behavior reflects a potential disconnect from reality and an overconfidence in his fabricated narrative. - The discussion emphasizes the value of behavioral analysis in courtroom settings to assess a defendant's credibility and mental state. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrime #CourtroomBehavior #PsychopathyAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott explores the emotional dynamics of Robert Telles during his trial for the murder of Jeff German. Scott discusses Telles' courtroom behavior, particularly his emotional display when he tearfully described his failed suicide attempt. She interprets this as an attempt to control the narrative and gain sympathy from the jury, rather than a genuine expression of remorse or grief. Scott introduces the concept of "narcissistic collapse," explaining that when narcissists face exposure or humiliation, they often react dramatically, seeking sympathy and attention rather than reflecting on their actions. She suggests that Telles' actions in court, including his focus on his own suffering rather than the victim, are characteristic of this psychological phenomenon. Scott also discusses how this collapse can lead to violent or erratic behavior, as seen in Telles' alleged actions against German. The conversation sheds light on the complexities of narcissistic behavior and its potential impact on legal outcomes. - Shavaun Scott analyzes Robert Telles' courtroom behavior and emotional displays. - Telles' crying in court is seen as an attempt to gain sympathy and control the narrative. - Scott introduces the concept of "narcissistic collapse," a reaction to exposure or humiliation. - Narcissistic collapse often leads to dramatic displays seeking attention rather than self-reflection. - Telles' behavior aligns with characteristics of narcissistic collapse, focusing on his own suffering. - The discussion links Telles' alleged violence to this psychological phenomenon. - Insights are provided on how narcissistic behavior might affect jury perception and legal proceedings. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #NarcissisticCollapse #ShavaunScott #CourtroomDrama #PsychologyInCourt #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the psychology and behavior of Robert Telles during his trial for the murder of Jeff German. Motta highlights how Telles' actions seemed driven more by personal grievances, particularly the exposure of his affair, than by any professional fallout. He notes that Telles' attempts to explain his actions in court revealed a sense of narcissism and a lack of emotional regulation, likening his behavior to that of an animal cornered with no escape.

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Laurie Gilbertson discusses the unusual narrative testimony given by Robert Telles, who was found guilty of murdering journalist Jeff German. Telles, a former attorney himself, chose to present his story directly to the jury, a rare move in criminal trials. Gilbertson explains that narrative testimony allows a defendant to speak freely without their lawyer's guidance, often because the attorney may suspect or know the testimony could be false. Telles used his time on the stand to push a bizarre narrative involving professional assassins wearing conspicuous clothing, a claim that baffled the court. This strategy raised questions about his grasp on reality and his intention to portray himself as being framed. Gilbertson highlights how the prosecutor managed to counter Telles's claims effectively by focusing on factual inconsistencies and the absurdity of his story. The podcast underscores the challenges and frustrations faced by prosecutors in dealing with defendants who choose to create their own narratives in court, as well as the importance of maintaining control during cross-examination to ensure that only credible evidence is considered by the jury. - Robert Telles, found guilty of murdering Jeff German, gave a rare narrative testimony in court. - Narrative testimony allows defendants to tell their story directly, often without their attorney's active participation. - Telles, a former attorney, insisted on presenting his own version of events, claiming a conspiracy involving professional assassins. - His testimony was filled with bizarre claims, such as assassins drawing attention to themselves with bright clothing. - The prosecutor effectively countered Telles's narrative by highlighting its absurdity and factual inconsistencies. - The discussion highlights the prosecutor's need to manage courtroom dynamics and counter unfounded narratives. - Telles's choice of narrative testimony and his bizarre defense strategy raised doubts about his credibility and mental state. #JeffGerman #RobertTelles #NarrativeTestimony #CourtroomStrategy #LegalAnalysis #ProsecutionChallenges #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
