Kylie was last spotted without shoes near her home, carrying a suitcase with a skull print. The direction she was headed was toward nearby Logan Canyon...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please reach through the following methods (reference the case number, 25-R308):Rich County Sheriff's Office: +14357932285Email: secretary@richcounty.govLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meCheck out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary: Dave opens the show talking about Susan's eighth birthday and the family trip to Music on the Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont for the Phoenix and Divided Sky festival featuring Karina Rykman, Eggy, Anders Osborne, Daniel Donato, Natalie Cressman, Jennifer Hartswick, and members of Dogs in a Pile. Dave talks about trying to get the entire crowd to sing Happy Birthday to Susan and gives updates about Patreon, Narcan and fentanyl test strip giveaways, YouTube support, and the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival sponsored by Mountainside Treatment Center. Dave reads a heartbreaking email from a listener celebrating nearly 60 days sober after quitting freebase coke, Xanax, and Suboxone while grieving the loss of his beloved dog Hesh. Dave reflects on his own fears about losing Winnie and spirals into thoughts about mortality, dogs, and a brass Winnie lamp he bought Linda for her birthday. Ben Croxton calls in with a classic IV Dopey story involving Googling “where to buy heroin in Atlanta,” instant meth psychosis at a job site, a dude hiding in a closet all day, and a cocaine-induced hallucination involving a kangaroo and imaginary police cars. The main interview features Keta Lauren and quickly becomes one of the darkest and most powerful Dopey stories in recent memory. Keta talks about growing up in extreme poverty in Northern California with a schizophrenic addict father and alcoholic mother, bouncing through foster homes, fighting constantly, and eventually landing in California Youth Authority “gladiator school.” She recounts horrific trauma including her father accidentally causing a house fire that killed four of her siblings after leaving a candle burning while gambling. Keta describes getting kidnapped while hitchhiking at age 11, doing meth as a child, surviving brutal YA prison fights, a devastating ATV accident that nearly killed her, and eventually falling into LA drug culture, sex work, heroin addiction, and trafficking. She explains how manipulation, survival, and trauma blurred together while trying to escape dangerous situations and abusive relationships. The conversation shifts toward recovery as Keta talks about finally hitting an emotional and spiritual bottom after years of heroin and meth addiction. She describes seeing herself deteriorate physically and mentally, eventually surrendering and finding treatment after a religious TV preacher bizarrely spoke directly to her situation. She later discusses relapse, AA and NA, psychedelic healing with psilocybin and ayahuasca, bipolar disorder, trauma therapy, and her belief that recovery can take many different forms. The episode closes with Trinity from the Beach reflecting on the interview playing a vulnerable acoustic cover of “Good So Bad” while apologizing for missing Dopey Zoom to record it.

They discuss warning signs parents miss, the role of social media in exploitation, the importance of father figures and emotional safety, and what families can do to better protect the people they love. It's a difficult but powerful conversation about trauma, protection, responsibility, and healing.

Before her passing, she was intimidated into taking down all of her disclosures on podcasts and on social media. We won't let her story die with her...Today I'm honored to have back on the show: Multi-generational sexual abuse and trafficking survivor, technology sales extraordinaire, aspiring singer and songwriter who dreams of bringing to life music to help empower other survivors, animal and child rescue advocate, whistleblower of what I will be referring to as ‘The Original Pizzagate' scandal involving a suspicious pizza delivery company called Cyber Slice, and a modern day Katniss Everdeen: Madison (Clares) CuppsMadison was born a twin to a father who was the co-founder of the first online pizza delivery service company called Cyber Slice - and who would also allege that he was an ex-C-eye-A assassin - and she and her twin sister spent their first 6 weeks of her life being hospitalized after being born prematurely. Madison discovered through her investigations since waking up to her abuse that her family line is laden with occult, military and CIA influences and connections, and that the oddities and abuse in Madison's family date back at least a few generations - tracing back to her great grandfather who was a Freemason and trickling down the family line to her and her twin sister. Cyber Slice was the first online pizza delivery service and Madison's father would often be absent from home on business trips, catering to high-end clientele like his biggest client, Bill Gates. Madison recalls how it was interesting how her father could go from being playful to violent so quickly. Her father would also force her and her sister to do sexual acts to each other, and he would record and use those recordings to lure in other predators to Cyber Slice. He would offer free videos and photos of Madison and her sister in exchange for them using the Cyber Slice platform. His platform was for online pizza ordering but - as Madison discovered: ‘pizza' was actually her father's code word for little girls - and is a proven code word for little girls according to the FBI.And the rabbit hole goes even deeper: Inspiration for Cyber Slice began with a movie called ‘The Net' starring Sandra Bullock, and in an interesting chain of events, Apple Inc Founder, Steve Jobs, was the first person to place an order for online pizza using Cyber Slice's online platform after helping develop the app during a brief hiatus from Apple in the late 1980's through the early 1990's.Madison's repressed memories of her abusive childhood began surfacing around the age of 14 and ever since, she has been working on putting together the pieces of the mysterious events of her life that flew under the radar of her and her siblings as children. Madison also hopes her testimony and public disclosure helps other survivors to come forward, helps shed a light on what's going on in our world right now, and helps brings justice to all of the victims.CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.Support the show

What really happens inside the world's most dangerous underground economies? And why do the people running them trust a journalist enough to talk? Mariana van Zeller — Emmy- and Peabody Award–winning investigative journalist, host and executive producer of Trafficked on National Geographic, and host of The Hidden Third podcast — has spent years embedded with scammers, smugglers, cartel members, assassins, and black-market power brokers. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, she pulls back the curtain on the shadow systems that quietly shape the global economy. Mariana breaks down the difference between the black market vs. the grey market, why understanding these hidden economies is the only way to create real change, and how she manages to gain access to some of the most secretive and dangerous players in the world. She explains how empathy, not judgment, is often the key to getting people labeled “the worst of the worst” to open up, and why many of them speak with her because of something surprisingly simple: a deep human need to be heard and understood. She also addresses critics who say she shouldn't give criminals a platform, revealing why listening to these voices is essential to exposing the systems behind global crime. We dive into her most harrowing experiences in the field — including the terrifying moment she and her team weren't sure they would make it out alive, and the time they had to escape a country in the middle of a life-threatening military coup while filming. Mariana also unpacks the current climate in Mexico's drug war, explaining why violence often escalates when major cartel kingpins are taken down, and the troubling implications of the fact that many of the weapons used by cartels originate in the United States. We get into one of the fastest-growing criminal industries in the world: scams. She breaks down everything you've ever wanted to know about romance scams and “pig butchering” operations, including: - Psychological tactics scammers use - Who scammers typically target and why - Massive infrastructure behind modern scam compounds - Why many scammers are actually victims of forced labor themselves - Why victims often stay silent due to shame and stigma Mariana explains why advancing technology, crypto, and AI are making financial scams easier than ever, and why anyone can fall victim — no matter how smart or cautious they are, including the shocking case of a bank CEO who was successfully defrauded. We also explore medical black markets, from organ trafficking to international surrogacy scams, and discuss some of her most intense interviews, from conversations with a suspected Russian sex spy to Anna Delvey, the infamous socialite scammer. Despite spending her career face-to-face with some of the darkest corners of humanity, Mariana reveals something surprising: she still believes deeply in people. In fact, she sometimes finds more hope, honesty, and equality in underground markets than in global governments or legal capitalism.

Southside Tribe! This episode is not theory—it's reality. Today, we confront one of the darkest and most urgent issues in our world: human trafficking and the online sexual exploitation of children. What many assume happens “somewhere else” is happening right now—and often fueled by a demand much closer to home than we know or like to admit. We're joined again by former NFL player Mark Herzlich, now working with the International Justice Mission, who breaks down the global scale of this crisis and why awareness is more powerful than we think. We also hear from Cassie, a survivor from the Philippines whose story will stay with you long after this episode ends. Trafficked at just 12 years old, she now uses her voice to fight for those who still can't speak. This is a conversation about truth, justice, healing—and what it means to stand up for the most vulnerable.

Topic:Is your state highly trafficked for close encounters of the 3rd kind?

Virginia Roberts Giuffre has consistently stated that after her encounter with Prince Andrew in London, she was paid $15,000 through Jeffrey Epstein's network—a detail that underscores how transactional and controlled the entire system was. According to her account, the payment came shortly after the meeting and reflected the same pattern used across Epstein's operation, where victims were given cash following encounters with powerful individuals. This wasn't framed as a gift or optional arrangement—it was part of a structure designed to reinforce compliance, maintain silence, and normalize exploitation. Within that framework, the payment stands as a concrete example of how Epstein's network operated behind the scenes.For Prince Andrew, this detail is deeply damaging because it directly contradicts the narrative he has tried to maintain about his limited involvement. The $15,000 payment fits squarely within the broader, well-documented pattern of Epstein's methods, making it harder to dismiss or isolate. Rather than being a distant associate, this places Andrew in direct proximity to the same system of exploitation and control that defined Epstein's network. It reinforces the perception that his connection was not incidental, but embedded within a structure that used money, influence, and access to facilitate abuse while shielding those involved from immediate scrutiny.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein 'paid Virginia Giuffre $15K to have sex with Prince Andrew at 17,' latest bombshell docs claim | The Sun

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: Ritual Abuse, Military Mind Control, and Organized Abuse survivor, thriver, and whistleblower, loving mother, writer, painter, and graphic artist, daydreamer of publishing her own book one day, content creator, nature lover, 12-step fellowship and survivor support group participant, and a courageous warrioress bringing a light to the darkness that is RAMCOA: Mary SparrowHere's a little bit about Mary and what you can expect to hear about on today's episode: From the moment of Mary's birth, the world seemed to mark her path with eerie precision. Taken from her mother for weeks in the hospital, Mary entered a home where love and terror intertwined like tangled roots. Her father's sexual abuse began in her earliest years, and her mother's verbal and physical outburstswere born of unresolved trauma. By age four, she was pulled into a child sex trafficking network in the New York City area, subjected to ritual abuse, pedophile exploitation, pornography, and sophisticated military mind control programming designed to fracture the mind and silence the spirit. Yet even then, a quiet fire burned within her, she carried an inner knowing that refused to be extinguished.She moved through more schools and homes than she had fingers to count growing up, and her mother's courageous departure from her father at Mary's age ten-and-a-half ripped the family across the Atlantic to Ireland, then back to Chicago and beyond. That escape ended the trafficking and ritual horrors - but the “discard programming” left behind was ruthless, programming her toward self-destruction. In her late teens, twenties, and thirties, Mary battled intense PTSD - she nearly fulfilled her abusers' darkest wish - to live and die in their invisible cage of fear.Yet Mary did not break. In her early forties, incest memories surfaced in gentle fragments while she immersed herself in twelve-step recovery. Journaling, intuitive drawing, painting, and nature's embrace became her anchors. Motherhood to her beloved daughter awakened a wellspring of unconditional love, guiding her to build the joyful childhood she herself had been denied. Twelve-step fellowships, with their raw honesty, humor, and community, became her lifeline. Therapy with compassionate professionals, and holistic healing unlocked layers of release. Most powerfully, she found her tribe: other ritual abuse and mind control survivors who became her life-line and family she never had.Today, Mary stands as a beacon of hard-won triumph. She lives with joy that once seemed impossible. She speaks out - not for fame, but for love. For the friends lost too young to the same traumas. For the truth that sets captives free. For every soul still trapped in fear's cage. “My abusers wanted me silent and broken,” she exclaims. “I choose to roar with light.” Her voice honors the vulnerable, dismantles the darkness of ritual abuse and mind control, and empowers survivors everywhere to reclaim their power.But Mary is so much more than her survival - she is a vibrant, whole woman whose passions paint the world in color. She writes almost daily, dreaming of the book that will one day carry her truth to thousands. Art flows through her fingers in drawings and paintings born of intuition. Music stirs her soul. Nature remains her sacred cathedral. And in twelve-step fellowships and survivor support circles, she finds profound connection, giving and receiving the healing power of shared vulnerability.Mary's testimony is not merely one of endurance - it is a statement to every survivor, every silenced voice, every heart that has known darkness: You areSupport the show

Trafficked host Mariana van Zeller walks us through the underworld hiding beneath our very feet.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1302What We Discuss with Mariana van Zeller:Mexican drug cartels are deliberately setting up operations in small-town America — not big cities — because rural areas have minimal law enforcement, making it easier to hide distribution networks where a single sheriff can't compete with heavily armed cartel operatives.Mariana van Zeller builds trust with dangerous sources — from cartel lieutenants to assassins — by ditching prepared question lists, sharing personal photos, and offering cigarettes, treating interviews as human conversations rather than interrogations to unlock genuine, unguarded responses.Commercial airlines like Delta are among the biggest drug transportation networks in the US, with cartel distributors exploiting everyday travel infrastructure rather than the covert smuggling operations most people imagine — meaning the drug trade hides in plain sight.The opioid-to-fentanyl-to-tranq-dope pipeline is a public health crisis, not a moral failing — most users started with a legitimate injury and a prescription, and the street drug xylazine now causes wounds resembling leprosy while hospitals stigmatize users instead of treating them.Mariana's approach to journalism offers a powerful reminder that curiosity and empathy — not judgment — are what unlock the deepest understanding of people and problems, a mindset anyone can practice to have more meaningful conversations and see the world with clearer eyes.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

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: Ritual Abuse, mind control and child sexual abuse survivor and overcover, social media whistleblower, devoted wife and loving mother, content creator and educator, singer and songwriter, and a woman who has made it her mission to educate on and destigmatize RAMCOA and DID and to let every survivor know they aren't alone: Emily Montefusco aka ‘Light System' In the shadowed corridors of generational trauma, where secrets fester like unhealed wounds, emerges the extraordinary story of Emily - a beacon of resilience whose life defies the darkness that sought to define her. Born into a lineage marred by abuse on her father's side, Emily's family tree stretches back through time, tangled in the roots of power and pain. Amid this, her mother hailed from humble, impoverished beginnings, vulnerable and easily swayed by her older husband's manipulations. Raised in a strict religious household, Emily was groomed from infancy to embody piety: attending church, praying at meals and bedtime.Emily's early years painted a facade of normalcy - especially under her mother's care. Yet, beneath this veneer, the storm brewed. Abuse began insidiously as a young child, escalating in a calculated progression of sexual acts that seemed drawn from her father's own unresolved traumas. Sundays became days of dread, nights a trigger for terror. Somatic flashbacks haunted her while holidays unearthed buried horrors. As Emily navigated her formative school and teenage years, the abuse wove itself into the fabric of her existence, fueled by her father's emotional volatility. The programming deepened with progressive acts of violation and these traumas splintered her psyche, creating alters that stored her pain and hid it from her, allowing her to survive and function as a normal child. Abuse spilled beyond home: Airport bathrooms, restaurant stalls, mall backrooms, hotel, and even suspected sites like movie theaters and the Cayman Islands.With over 20,000 follower on TikToks, she openly shares her journey: introducing alters, explaining switching, subsystems, programmed DID through torture-based mind control, and the myths versus realities of DID. Her content emphasizes self-compassion, following triggers to uncover and heal buried memories, daily practices of breaking old patterns, and the truth that compassion and love in sharing stories will not go unnoticed.SIGN EMILY'S PETITION TO HAVE HER FATHER INVESTIGATED: https://c.org/M4K9DHPc55CONNECT WITH EMILY & HER MUSIC:LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/light.systemTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@light.systemYouTube: @emilymontefusco SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/emily-montefuscoSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5fsQtJZZsZTqQfS1rmqT8L?si=T6iOEn6oSdm1X3LNKBpRSACONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHASupport the show

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: Human and sex trafficking survivor, thriver, and whistleblower, devoted wife and loving mother, social media content creator and survivor advocate, and someone I'm honored to call my new friend, RachelRachel's journey into advocacy is rooted in a childhood marked by instability, long before the predators of the online world targeted her. Born into a home fractured by a controlling father and sustained by a devoted mother who navigated the chaos with unwavering love, Rachel developed the subtle vulnerabilities common to many children in dysfunctional environments. These early experiences - unpredictable dynamics, emotional turbulence, and a quest for stability - laid an invisible foundation that groomers would later exploit. Yet, even amid the turmoil, Rachel harbored expansive dreams, envisioning a future as bright as the cosmos, with aspirations that reflected her innate potential and unyielding spirit.The pivotal chapter of Rachel's ordeal unfolded during her teenage years, coinciding with the dawn of social media's widespread influence. Eager to be a part of this new dynamic of socialization, she created an account on MySpace, one of the era's pioneering platforms. Unaware of the lurking perils in this new digital landscape, Rachel connected with a seemingly supportive woman who offered mentorship and investment in her ambitions. In retrospect, this "friend" was a calculated recruiter for an online human trafficking network, preying on vulnerable young girls by dangling the allure of their dreams as bait. What began as innocent online interactions spiraled into a web of manipulation, blackmail, and coercion, trapping Rachel in a cycle of sex trafficking that exploited her insecurities and isolated her from escape. This grim reality underscores a chilling statistic: predators increasingly use social media to groom victims, with reports of online enticement rising over 300% in recent years.But from the ashes of her trauma, Rachel has risen as an indomitable warrior, transforming her pain into profound purpose. Embracing the irony of her testimony's origins, she returned to social media not as a victim, but as a vigilant advocate and educator. As a survivor, influencer, woman, and mother, she offers a multifaceted lens on these platforms' risks and rewards. On her Instagram account - where she has garnered a ton of attention and loyal followers - she whistleblows on grooming tactics, shares her personal testimony to bring awareness, and equips parents with practical tools to safeguard their children. Inspirational in her authenticity, Rachel models a bold redefinition of influence: prioritizing impact over popularity. She humanizes the statistics, reminding us that behind every trafficking case is a person with dreams derailed but not destroyed. Her testimony is far more than a cautionary tale - it's a powerful testament to the unbreakable human spirit. What was meant to destroy her has instead forged her into a force for change, proving that even the deepest darkness can give birth to extraordinary light.

Hope Beryl-Green never had a chance to live a normal life. She was born in Kentucky to a mother who was a breeder for the elite and then killed after giving birth. Hope was raised by hired handlers who were teachers and Baptist church attendees, and then trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein at only five years old. Her being alive today to share her story is nothing short of a miracle. Hope is an author, speaker, and survivor of sex trafficking and abuse. She dives into her harrowing experience growing up as a victim of human trafficking, and how her story intersects with the late Epstein's, whose shadowed network of trafficking has been exposed via millions of documents finally released by the Department of Justice. Hope says the Epstein files have proven her account to be true. TAKEAWAYS Hope says she was a victim of brutal MKUltra for decades She alleges that her handler family was a normal, middle-class family who attended a Baptist church Hope says that children born in the trafficking network are assigned handlers who often appear normal in society, making it hard to spot Epstein Island may have been used for trafficking long before Jeffrey Epstein took over

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I am absolutely honored to finally have on the show - MK ULTRA, child trafficking and SRA survivor, targeted individual, survivor advocate, Ordained Minister, YouTuber and content creator, writer and author, one of my dear friends and one of God's fierce warriors, Holly Baglio!In the shadowed laboratories of a world gone mad, where Nazi ghosts whispered blueprints for hell, Holly was not born - she was engineered. Conceived in a test tube under the merciless gaze of Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death", Holly entered existence on September 12, 1974, as Project Mannequin's living canvas. Fusing Annunaki DNA, Rothschild bloodlines, and fragments of her biological parents' essence, Mengele sculpted her not as a child, but as a weapon: a programmable slave in the sprawling nightmare of MK ULTRA.For 37 unrelenting years, she was a ghost in the machine of black ops and elite depravity. Trafficked as a child through Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) in Texas, Canada, and beyond, Holly endured the unimaginable: electroshock fractures to splinter her psyche into 169 alters, surgical enhancements to twist her body into a super soldier's shell, and satanic rituals that summoned entities from the void.The "Daisy Game" haunts her still - a petal-plucked roulette of Mengele's whimsy turned carnage. "He loves me... He loves me not." The final "not" spared Holly that day, but sealed the fate of the child beside her, torn apart before a circle of wide-eyed prisoners. Survival was no mercy; it was a curseTrafficked for her elite genetics, she was the elites' invisible hand - politicians, military brass, secret society puppets - who masked child trafficking rings and ritual murders behind taxpayer-funded veils. Pizzagate? Not a conspiracy theory, but Holly's lived hell.But in December 2011, salvation shattered the chains. Three little boys from her childhood cages - now grown men of unbreakable vow - stormed back for her, honoring a pact forged in blood: "If one gets free, we return for the rest." They didn't leave her behind. But it wouldn't be until 2014 when she'd wake up to memories that shattered everything she knew about her life and the road to healing would begin. Having had a relationship with God since she was a young child, Holly's journey has been filled with incredible moments including being baptized by the one and only Ruzz Dizdar and becoming an ordained minister.Holly is no longer a slave to shadows. She is the dawn that devours them - a living testament that one soul, forged in hellfire and redeemed by heaven's blaze, can topple empires of evil. Her abusers tried to dumb down her courage and strength, but what they didn't realize was that they actually forged a warrior. A child who would grow into a woman with unrelenting bravery, a voice that would shake the Luciferian Kingdom, and a heart of gold - which is evident in her advocacy work for other survivors. Through YAHUSHA's name, she storms the gates, healing the fractured, awakening the asleep, and heralding a reckoning where no child is caged, no truth is buried, and no darkness withstands the light.CONNECT WITH HOLLY: Website: https://hollybaglio.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: Support the show

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for another incredible joint episode: MK ULTRA, ritual abuse and organized abuse survivors, overcomers, thrivers, and badasses, survivor and anti-child trafficking advocates, public whistleblowers, podcasters, and two of my favorite humans and friends in the entire world: Dr. Juliette Engel and Lynne Scott HaggermanIn the shadowy underbelly of America's Cold War secrets, where the CIA's MK ULTRA programs twisted innocence into instruments of control, two women emerged not as broken relics, but as fierce beacons of redemption. Dr. Juliette Engel and Lynne Scott Haggerman - survivors of unimaginable horrors.Sold at six into MK ULTRA's MONARCH program, Juliette endured years of trauma, her psyche fractured into alters like Sparky, the inner warrior plotting escape that she writes about in here memoir. At sixteen, she fled, funding her way through medical school to become a radiologist. And in 1999, Moscow's trafficking crisis reignited her fight. Selling her practice, she founded the Angel Coalition, rescuing thousands through underground railroads and training networks like the Babushka Brigade. Her memoirs, Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick and Angels Over Moscow, expose CIA atrocities and inspire liberation.Trafficked into MK ULTRA's underground labs as a child, Lynne faced electroshock, adrenochrome harvesting, and underground Satanic rituals and programming. Her spirit unbroken, she protected others in those dark tunnels - showcasing the same big heart for protecting others that she has today. Now an award-winning HR consultant and marathoner, Lynne's faith-driven Q-GRIT framework heals survivors through somatic techniques, spiritual warfare, holistic products, and community collaboration, turning trauma into triumph.What binds Juliette and Lynne isn't just the MK ULTRA experiences seared into their histories - it's the transformation they share: turning personal hells into collective heavens. Both women, programmed as children for exploitation, now dismantle the very networks that enslaved them. Juliette's global rescues mirror Lynne's intimate healings; and together, they've exposed the tunnels and rituals, and the universities and cults that fed the beast. Their commonalities shine brightest in their solution-craft: a refusal to let pain prescribe passivity. Juliette's underground railroads and training hubs echo Lynne's Q-GRIT protocols - both emphasize empowerment over victimhood, weaving networks of unlikely allies (like babushkas, believers, and broken-but-bold souls) into unbreakable shields.In joint appearances, like the last podcast we did together as a group, they map the intersections: how MK ULTRA's trauma blueprints fuel modern trafficking empires, and how faith-fueled innovation - Juliette's empathetic raids, Lynne's somatic-spiritual resets - disarms them. They advocate not for vengeance, but for vigilance: policy reforms to unearth hidden atrocities, holistic therapies to mend mind-control survivors, and hope, healing, and solutions for survivors and those that help them.CONNECT TO LYNNE: Website: https://qgrit.org/YouTube: @LynneScottHaggerman  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheLynneScottHaggermanShow?e9s=src_v1_saX: https://x.com/haggerman91741CONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR stanSupport the show

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: MK ULTRA, satanic ritual abuse, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, loving mother, published author and writer, investigator and educator, podcaster and podcast host of her own YouTube channel, global spiritual and transformational coach, remote viewer, live music and travel lover, and a beautiful soul who has risked everything to help us find the light: Rebecca Barron From childhood, Rebecca was ensnared in a shadow network involving high-profile figures, including the British royal family and notorious individuals like Jimmy Savile. Subjected to MK ULTRA trauma-based mind control and black magic, she endured experiences designed to fracture her mind and bind her to a parasitic system. Yet, even in the depths of despair, Rebecca's heart refused to surrender. A profound spiritual awakening shattered the veil of normalcy, igniting a journey of self-reflection and psychic awakening, and by age 33, memories of her traumatic past began to surface, revealing the extent of the programming she had endured.Rebecca's battle was not just against external forces but within herself, as she unraveled the mental and emotional programs instilled in her as a child. Through relentless self-awareness and emotional release, she broke free from the energetic web that tethered her to her abusers, including a pivotal confrontation with the dark forces she believes were orchestrated by the royal family. Her intuitive insights exposed a reality where these entities - part human, part AI and alien - feed off human energy, manipulating global systems to maintain control. Today, Rebecca is a beacon of hope, guiding others through her work as a facilitator of self-healing. Rejecting the label of “healer,” she empowers individuals to understand their own consciousness, dismantle their programming, and embrace their innate psychic abilities. Through her Patreon and YouTube channel, Find the Light, she shares remote viewing insights, Q&As, and healing groups, helping people uncover the truth of their own realities. Her book, ‘One Set of Footprints', is not just a recounting of trauma but a roadmap to empowerment, showing that the power to heal lies within.CONNECT WITH REBECCA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FindTheLightrbWebsite: https://findthelight-rb.com/Purchase Rebecca's Book: https://www.patreon.com/findthelight/shop/one-set-of-footprints-ebook-289632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=productshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2546923745599439TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@findthelightrbCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theiSupport the show

On this week's episode of Change Agents, Andy sits down with award-winning journalist Mariana van Zeller, host of National Geographic's Trafficked, to explore cartels, black markets, and human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. Mariana discusses how cartels operate in small American towns, use domestic flights for smuggling, and recruit American citizens as distributors. She also examines the trade of Vietnamese brides into China and the broader social and economic factors that enable these crimes. The conversation highlights the scale of drug trafficking and human exploitation and emphasizes the need for awareness and solutions that address the root causes.
