Send us a textIn Part 2 of our coverage we will go through the correspondence between the 'Bind, Torture, Kill' murderer, and the Wichita Police. Even after they thought that he was a thing of the past, in 2004, when an article was published in The Wichita Eagle, in which an expert is quoted, saying that; when mentioning the killer to his students, none of them even knew the name. This would evoke a response from this repugnant parasite, and the lines of communication would once again, be opened.This is Part 2 of our coverage of BTK.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Philadelphia's Holmesburg prison, before it was officially shut down in 1995, had been a house of horrors for much of its history. In addition to being grossly overcrowded and its prisoners being subjected to sometimes lethal abuse by prison officials... for over two decades - from 1951 to 1974, Dr. Albert Kligman performed wildly unethical medical experiments on its prisoners. Inmates were burned, infected with incurable diseases, exposed to radiation, carcinogens, and more without their informed consent. These atrocities and more earned the prison the nickname of The Terrordome.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

This week on Wrestling Omakase we continue our ongoing coverage of two major tournaments! John introduces the unusual format we'll be using for the next two weeks (it was the only way they could bring you these episodes due to some travel they'll be doing), as they start out going solo to talk about the first five days of the STARDOM 5 Star GP. They break down each and every tournament match so far, from the enormous 16-match opening day in Ota Ward right through the doubleheader in Utsunomiya. Hear all about some of the best matches of the tournament so far, including Saori Anou vs. Ami Sohrei in a match that showed off what could be the main event future of the promotion, Sareee getting absolutely nuclear heat all week long, AZM and Starlight Kid tearing the house down and a whole lot more! John's good friend Quinlan returns to the show to talk about the final 5 Star GP show of the week (the evening show from Utsunomiya) and gives a bit of a casual viewer perspective on it.Then John & Quinlan both break down Nights 7-11 of the G1 Climax in full, talking about some interesting topics: attendance finally showing signs of life during the last week, whether Konosuke Takeshita is perhaps having a bit of a weaker tournament than he did last year (by his lofty standards), and even put over some House of Torture matches for a change on this network. They also discuss some more great Taichi matches as he continues to be the absolute MVP of the tournament, and some more good performances from Tanahashi on his retirement show. A fun show as tournament season rolls on!Following Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of Movie Torture, Jacob and Brad welcome Ashley, Troy, and MTD for a hilariously chaotic deep dive into the cinematic mess known as 976-EVIL. What starts as a simple roast quickly spirals into a whirlwind of hot takes, questionable IMDB rating guesses, and a disturbing amount of conversation about demonic phone bills and bathroom trauma. The gang takes aim at Robert Englund's directorial debut with the precision of a pageant judge holding a grudge—calling out everything from the overcooked acting to the undercooked plot. Along the way, they unpack the film's laughable portrayal of high schoolers (spoiler: no teen has ever acted like that), cringe through the infamous bathroom scene, and bond over the shared trauma of low-budget horror. Somewhere in the mix, societal beauty standards, the ethics of sequels, and even a controversial tangent about 9/11 movies sneak into the banter. It's weird, it's wild, and it's everything you never needed to know about 976-EVIL.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Follow Movie Torture here:https://www.instagram.com/movietorturepod/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

From the Teams to the Museum: Chris Wyllie's Mission to Honor and Preserve the History, Legacy & Brotherhood of the U.S. Navy SEALs. This week, Marcus and Melanie are joined by Chris Wyllie, Executive Director of the Lt. Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum. A former Navy SEAL and SWCC graduate, Chris shares his powerful journey from serving on the Teams to leading one of the most iconic institutions dedicated to preserving the legacy of Naval Special Warfare. Born in Port Jefferson, NY, Chris served with SBU12 and SEAL Team 2 before being medically discharged in 2000. After his military service, he channeled his technical expertise into a successful business providing high-end audio-visual systems—skills that now shape many of the museum's cutting-edge interactive exhibits. Chris opens up about the unbreakable bond of the SEAL brotherhood, his continued involvement in veteran support events like the annual SEAL Swim in the Hudson, and how he's helping steer the museum's vision to educate, inspire, and honor America's elite warriors. Chris shares his path from SWCC Class 16 and BUD/S Class 217 to SEAL Team 2, how his AV background enhances the museum experience, what it means to preserve the legacy of the SEAL Teams, stories of camaraderie, sacrifice, and ongoing service beyond the uniform, and his vision for the future of the National Navy SEAL Museum Join us as we dive into leadership, legacy, and living with purpose—with a man whose mission never ended, it simply evolved. In This Episode You Will Hear: • It's not as hard as you think it is. Just put in more effort. (2:00) • I was always like a people pleaser. I still am. That's what I'm working on right now. I'm trying not to be. (4:50) • If you fail, it's attempt. Instead of being demoralized, instead of being embarrassed or frustrated or depressed, turn that energy into something better. Fire in the gut. (14:06) • We had guys tried to fake hypothermia during BUDS, till they broke the thermometer out, and check the dudes right in front of all of us. (25:37) • We went out for surf torture. The waves were so big, and there was such a shore break, it picked us all up, slammed the whole class. One guy was like a lawn dart – broke his neck. (26:29) • They put the [hypothermia] guy up on the wall, pulled his pants down, took the core temperature thermometer – right in front of God and everybody. [It was rectal] They need to know what your core is – to see if you're actually hyporthermal. (27:32) • [Marcus] I've seen guys quit over trying to put a dive sock on. (32:38) • When you first get out of the military, you're too close to it to think you're a veteran. (37:47) • I've always tried to help veterans. (39:38) • The impression is that it's a Naval Special Warfare Museum with Michael {Murphy's] name on it. (47:33) • I'm so tired of people pushing down awesomeness. Everybody doesn't have to be the same. (49:52) • The [wheelchair bound] kid said he wanted to do the Michael Murphy run around the lake. So, I said I'll push you. I didn't realize how heavy he was.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, Stargate, Freemason, Jesuit, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, loving mother, founder of ‘The Quickening Project', content creator and podcast host, faithful servant to the Most High, gardener, floral design extraordinaire, singer and songwriter, poetry reader and writer, and absolute inspiration: KadayaKadaya's life began in a web of multigenerational abuse, orchestrated by a high-level cult with ties to Freemasonry, the Vatican, the Jesuits, and military intelligence programs. From infancy, possibly even in utero, she endured deliberate trauma designed to fracture her psyche, creating dissociative identity disorder to mold her into a mind-controlled operative. As a child, she was forced to participate in heinous acts, including filming snuff films on a church “missions' trip”, under the guise of helping an orphanage. Her abusers, including a 33rd-degree Freemason programmer who studied neurology to perfect mind control, exploited her high IQ and spiritual gifts, using children's books like Dr. Seuss, and the music from and keys of a piano to create a highly organized system of alters.Despite this, Kadaya's awakening began in her 20s when chronic illnesses defied medical diagnoses, hinting at trauma-based origins. As memories of ritual abuse flooded back three years ago, she faced disbelief from family, friends, and authorities, culminating in a betrayal that cost her everything: her husband filed for divorce, a protection order barred her from her two children, and her resources were stripped away. Her faith in Yah became her anchor. Recognizing that Christian terminology and music often used in rituals can retraumatize survivors, Kadaya launched The Quickening Project, a podcast and music initiative. With her co-host, she creates worship music designed to soothe fractured souls without triggering trauma, offering a safe space for survivors to reconnect with faith. Today, we will be continuing Kadaya's testimony, discussing mind control programming locations, psych ward experiences, specific abuse methods that do not leave marks and somatic body memory experiences, SRA in scripture, Antarctica, the state-sanctioned kidnapping of her children, and so much more.DONATE TO KADAYA'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/cb63137dCONNECT WITH KADAYA:-YouTube: @thequickeningproject - https://www.youtube.com/@thequickeningproject-Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6OmNqqtVj3GC91wUqdHAgo?si=KEgkSw9sSUGUtIHheuY3Hg&nd=1&dlsi=0fc9bed697ac4cef-IG: https://www.instagram.com/thequickeningproject/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialSubstack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METSupport the show

My guest today Professor Alan Dershowitz, an American lawyer and law professor known for his work in U.S. constitutional and criminal law. From 1964 to 2013, he taught at Harvard Law School Mr. Dershowitz has taken on high-profile and often unpopular causes and clients. As he has represented such celebrity clients as Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst, Leona Helmsley, Julian Assange, and Jim Bakker. He is a regular media contributor, political commentator, and legal analyst. He is here today to discuss his new book, The Preventive State: The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms while Preserving Essential Liberties. Ladies and gentlemen, if reliable but uncertain intelligence predicted a mass casualty terrorist attack and indicated likely suspects, what preventive actions would be constitutionally authorized? Detention? Interrogation? Torture? What if the attack involved a weaponized virus? Should the government compel widespread inoculation that might kill hundreds of people while saving millions? What if an article describing how to circumvent the inoculation mandate was about to be published? Should censorship of the article be authorized? These are the sorts of questions Professor Alan Dershowitz has been asking for more than 60 years, in his teaching, writing, and litigation. In it, he suggests an overarching jurisprudential framework that would set limits to the ballooning power of what he calls “the preventive state.” This important book offers unprecedented insights into one of the most under-examined developments of our age: the growing magnitude and frequency of cataclysmic threats, coupled with the increasingly effective—but increasingly intrusive—tools intended to predict and prevent them. This masterful analysis should be read by everyone who cares about security, liberty, and democracy. #alandershowitz #politics #preventivestate #government #law #lawyer #justice #judicialsystem #bail #sentencing #detention #israeliran #israel #iran #unitedstates #gaza #9/11 #RFK #JFK #malcolmX #MLK #martinlutherkingjr #civilliberties #trials

Throughout history, humans have devised punishments so agonizing that victims would beg for death's mercy — from the Assyrians who draped flayed skin on city walls to Civil War soldiers forced to ride wooden horses until they split apart.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: If you are concerned about a family member's excessive drinking, what do you do? Hold an intervention? Call Alcoholics Anonymous for advice? Perhaps confide in a close friend who might know what to do. In the case of teenaged sisters Sandra and Elizabeth Andersen, they were so frustrated with their mother's drunken ways they decided to kill her. (Murderous Sisters) *** One reason people don't like going to dentists is pain – even if there is no pain, just the idea of pain is enough to keep people away. But in the early 1900s there was a dentist so confident he could give you a painless tooth-extraction that he even changed his name to “Painless Parker”. But did his name live up to his claim? (A Dentist Named Painless Parker) *** Cliff Taylor reported seeing not just one, but two UFOs – and even more interesting, one of his sightings sounds like an extraterrestrial mothership… which appeared right next to his own house. And his was only a fraction of the hundreds of sightings that took place in 2008 just north of Philadelphia. (The Bucks County UFO Encounter) *** Of all the sites that are unexplained, the Bermuda Triangle is usually the first one that comes to mind. Located in the Caribbean, it is renowned for the ships and radio signals that have disappeared without explanation in recent years. Yet, there is another, perhaps lesser known region in which the inexplicable occurs. This location is often referred to quite simply as Mexico's Zone of Silence. (The Mexican Zone of Death) *** The definition of “punishment” is, “the infliction of some kind of pain or loss upon a person for a misdeed.” In most cases we look to serve punishment in proper proportion to the crime being committed – reserving the most severe punishments for the worst of the worst. But that has not always been the case – and there have been a lot of punishments doled out that we would consider worse than death – and for crimes we might not even consider crimes today.
