Born into a world shadowed by her family's ties to drug trafficking, Olivia's early years were marred by betrayal and manipulation. Her father, once a figure in military intelligence who later entwined himself with cartels, made a harrowing choice to sign her over to clandestine governmental mind control programs to escape his own imprisonment. At the tender age of seven, Olivia was thrust into the cold grip of a psychiatric hospital, where she endured the horrors of MK ULTRA trauma-based mind control and MONARCH programming. Under the weight of LSD, electroshock, and relentless hypnosis, her mind was dissociated and fractured to create distinct identities crafted for covert missions on Earth and beyond.Her journey led her to the enigmatic Dr. Green and Project Traveler, an occult program steeped in possession and trance. There, Olivia's consciousness was stretched across lifetimes, unearthing memories of past existences as a dark entity, a serial killer, a medium, and a slave. As a spirit host, she became a vessel for elite families seeking communion with deities and spirits, navigating a world where the veil between realms was treacherously thin.Despite the chaos of her upbringing in inner-city schools, Olivia's brilliance showed through in academic programs, even as her mind grappled with adult thoughts far beyond her years. The abuse ceased only when she was fully molded for the purposes of ‘the program' - trained in personality profiling, beta operations, assassinations, and corporate espionage. At age 19, she was conscripted into the Secret Space Program (SSP), serving in the corporate sector on Mars in until the age of 39.In 2018, a spark ignited within Olivia as she stepped into a corporate human resources role eerily reminiscent of her work in the Secret Space Program. Memories - long buried under layers of programming - flooded back with relentless clarity. Driven by her father's posthumous words to “burn the system down,” Olivia resolved to expose the hidden and occulted mechanisms that shaped the duality of her life.Today, Olivia James stands as a warrior of disclosure, using her abilities to infiltrate bases and extract secrets through remote viewing and spirit hosting. Her discoveries have unveiled Project Oblivion, a sinister plot targeting the disclosure community, and she shares these truths fearlessly. A gifted writer of two amazing published books - “Grey Mouse: Sex, Space, and Mind Control”, and “Grey Mouse: Purgatory”, she also details her experiences into two blogs and on social media where her short videos ignite hope and awareness. Traversing outer realms with unwavering courage, Olivia declares that fear is the true shackle - and by releasing it, humanity can break free.CONNECT WITH OLIVIA: Purchase Olivia's books off Amazon: -"Grey Mouse: Sex, Space, and Mind Control" - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJC88X13-"Grey Mouse: Purgatory - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9J21J58X / Twitter: https://x.com/OJamesGreyMouseSubstack: Support the show

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Invention director Courtney Stephens and lead actress Calle Hernandez (moderated by FLC's Tyler Wilson) from this year's edition of New Directors/New Films. Presented by The Museum of Modern Art and Film at Lincoln Center, the 54th edition of New Directors/New Films (ND/NF) takes place through April 13, and has, since 1972, showcased new and emerging filmmakers whose distinctive visions and risk-taking works highlight the vitality and potential of cinema. Personal anguish and noirish mystery are inextricably bound in Invention, wherein Callie Hernandez (who co-conceptualized the film, and plays a cross between herself and some other vision) seeks the truth about her father—an inventor of devices boasting untapped power—whose death is not what it seems. Traversing a backwoods America of oddballs, cretins, estate vultures, and even the occasional sweetheart, Hernandez's journey is a constant reminder of how much our loved ones hide from us in life and death alike. Courtney Stephens's years in experimental documentary cinema help turn this Super 16mm–shot investigation narrative on its head, while a commanding performance confirms Hernandez as a captivating screen performer and artist.

https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking tune into this week's Astro News You Can Use podcast with Sheri Horn Hasan discussing this past week's astro-influenced events & what's yet to come, including the results of Mercury & Venus's stations direct!Astrologer Sheri Horn Hasan first looks back at how the April 4 first-quarter “crisis in action” waxing monthly lunar cardinal square of the Cancer Moon to the Aries Sun spurred people into action under the mantra of “Hands Off!” If you're a regular podcast listener, you'll have heard on this podcast before the statement that when enough people are affected personally, that's when they will take to the streets in large numbers. Well, that's what an estimated 5.2 million of them did—old, young, and in between—to tell the current U.S. Government “hands off” my medical care & research, my social security, my educational opportunities, my job, my civil rights, right to bodily autonomy, and so much more. Meanwhile Mercury's station direct in Pisces on April 7 seems to have proven what Erin Sullivan says in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape,” which is that it marks a time to “engage in observation and begin to pay attention.” Well, hard not to pay attention to U.S. President Trump's on-again off-again tariff threats against ALL U.S. trading partners—that resulted in putting the U.S. stock market--& by association global markets—into free fall this past week.Trump is a Gemini Sun/Uranus, which in its lowest manifestation is far more than “mercurial”--& as has been proven throughout his time in the presidency--to be erratic & mayhem-oriented. So, the whipsaw like back and forth on tariffs during both Mercury & Venus retrograde periods should really be no surprise. (This podcast highlights how the recent Mercury retrograde period triggered an important T-square in Trump's chart, so give it a listen!)What's changing now, however, is how undeniably obvious this has become as well as how potentially disruptive to both the U.S. & global trade & economy. With Mercury now direct, however, we've seen yet again additional changes in plans from the U.S. Government vis-à-vis tariffs.What's becoming more and more obvious, however, to even the average news absorber, is that Trump's assumption that his tariffs will succeed when they've been historically proven to weaken America's dollar, lead to losses for American companies, & create turmoil in the financial markets, is their complete unworkability. We approach now the April 12 Libra Full Moon, which occurs at 23'20' Libra in opposition to the Aries Sun conjunct wounded healer Chiron, while they all form a cardinal T-square to Mars in Cancer. Less than an hour later Venus stations direct in Pisces, telling us it's time to check in on the status of our partnerships.Can you spell "F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-I-O-N?" As both Venus & Mercury begin to gather speed in their forward trajectory, we can see more clearly the results of how these astrological energies are currently playing out, at least here in America. This lunation highlights that we have here a “wounded king/ruler/autocrat wanna-be” facing opposition from the “people,” who desire to be more partnership-oriented with the rest of the world rather than less.In essence, this lunation—which has the Libra Moon reflecting back to the wounded Sun its own light—asks us to release any tendencies toward an “it's my way or the highway” type leadership that leads only to opposition, and to begin to negotiate & compromise. This becomes difficult, however, since what's wounded the Aries Sun is its lack of ability to back down in the face of having proactively made disastrous decisions.We look forward now to Mercury reentering Aries on April 16 or 17, depending on your time zone, and Mars reentering Leo April 17/18. Will Trump double down on his losing proposition to impose 145% tariffs on Chinese imports as China ups the ante by raising its tariff rates on U.S. goods to 125 percent on April 12? Especially when economists already know that this kind of trade war will result in higher prices for American consumers. “China's factories produce more than those in the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Britain combined, and many of the products imported to the United States come from China,” according to the New York Times.And that's not mentioning how the U.S. House of Representatives managed to pass a continuing budget resolution on April 10, as we waxed toward the Libra Full Moon, that will keep Trump's 2017 tax cuts for billionaires & cut trillions from government services. This passed 216 to 214, with zero democrats voting for it & two republicans jumping ship to side with the democrats.This podcast discusses the arduous task ahead for Congress to rectify the House & Senate versions of this bill, along with how it will result in growing opposition by an ever-enlarging group of those who'll be personally affected by such cuts. Especially those who don't believe their elected officials promises not to cut government funding for Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, federal jobs, disease research, veteran's benefits, and so much more…Tune in to https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for all of this, plus more Astro News You Can Use, including how this Venus retrograde period has resulted in seriously impactful partnership re-alignments & weakened America's reputation as a financially stable & reliable partner. And, a deeper discussion of the greater meaning of this year's future Mercury retrogrades through the fire element & how we can use this energy to our advantage moving forward. See you later! Namaste…IBRA FULL MOON OPPOSITE ARIES SUN/CHIRON & SQUARE MARS: YOU'VE WOUNDED US & WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Join Sheri for this week's podcast with important Astro News You Can Use, including the deeper meanings of the recent Aquarius New Moon—accompanied by a Mercury/Pluto conjunction in Aquarius & both luminaries' trines to Jupiter Rx--& Uranus's (the modern ruler of Aquarius) station direct in Taurus! Since Uranus is, at heart, about progressive change, not regressive change, it's station direct on January 30 at 23'15” Taurus means that it will again conjoin “off with his head” fixed star Algol—not once, but twice in the future! Tune in to find out what's happened since the conjunction of Mars/Uranus/Algol last July, & the who, what, where, how, & when's of this particular upcoming aspect!Also, learn what to expect when Jupiter stations direct in Gemini on February 4. Hint: We may not be getting what we thought we wanted, but we'll definitely get what the universe knows we need!Jupiter's retrograde station on October 9 at 21'20” Gemini--through to its station direct on February 4 at 11'16” Gemini--undoubtedly had a hand in souring the vision of what many wanted to happen during that period.. As Erin Sullivan explains in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape: “Jupiter retrograde can provoke depression—a consequence of unrequited needs; the period can spiral one into a pit of mourning and loss, requiring one to draw on deep reserves of faith in oneself.” Ya think? Especially since the November 2024 U.S. presidential election? Well, the good news is that it will soon be full speed ahead with Jupiter direct again. After all, Jupiter represents the ability to strategizing in order to successfully achieve a big picture goal. You know, like power to the people rather than to dictator wannabes. We note also the January 29 aviation disaster over Ronald Reagan airport in Washington, D.C. on the eve of Uranus's station direct January 30. As horrifying as is this midair collision—with no known survivors—Uranus has certainly made his influence known on both a literal & symbolic level. Uranus is, after all, like tarot card The Tower, which symbolizes sudden change…Do we NEED a revolution here in the U.S.? If so, with Pluto in Aquarius now until 2043, we have a long time during which to prepare for such an event as we ask ourselves “who's REALLY got the power—& how are they going to use it?” And to begin to shift our mindset back toward one that revolves around an era of “power to people”--again…Tune in @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking to hear more in-depth Astro New You Can Use & how it relates to current & potential future happenings! 

David Farrier examines how “wild clocks”—the biological and ecological rhythms that living beings use to coordinate their lives with the greater cycles of the Earth—are falling out of synch with each other in our age of ecological crisis. Traversing the Future Library in Norway, Sami reindeer herds in Scandinavia, and oyster colonies in Scotland's Firth of Forth, David considers the different ways time is made between people, more-than-human beings, and place—and wonders if the disordering of our wild clocks offers an opportunity to understand anew how time can be an expression of kinship.

We're excited to share the highlights of a memorable event that took place last Friday: The Writing Community Chat Show featured an exclusive live interview with acclaimed author Cathy Hayward, streamed live for our Substack subscribers.In this engaging three-part conversation, we explored Cathy's fascinating journey as a writer, discussed her gripping release, The Girl in the Midnight Maze, and connected with our audience through an interactive Q&A session. Cathy's career is a testament to reinvention and resilience.Beginning as a journalist for niche trade magazines, she brought stories to life on topics ranging from accounting to port logistics. But it was the birth of her third child and a life-changing decision to leave London for Brighton that marked the first major shift in her path. As a freelance PR and founder of Magenta Associates, Cathy thrived, but her creativity truly blossomed when she embarked on a two-year creative writing course in 2016. In her own words, this course transformed “random thoughts and scribbles” into what would eventually become her debut novel, The Girl in the Maze. Spurred on by the 2020 lockdown, Cathy finished the novel, submitted it to the Agora Books Lost the Plot Work in Progress prize—and won.Now, with a reissued version titled The Girl in the Midnight Maze and multiple new works underway, Cathy has fully embraced a life immersed in books and storytelling.The Interview: What We CoveredPart 1 - The Road to Writing Cathy shared her path from journalist to PR agency owner, and ultimately, to author. She recounted how personal loss, a creative writing course, and a global pandemic sparked her evolution into a novelist. Part 2 - What's the Story? We delved into Cathy's latest book, The Girl in the Midnight Maze. This deeply moving tale explores three generations of women entangled in family trauma and the struggle to connect across time and tragedy. Cathy shared the inspirations behind the book and the challenges she faced in bringing Emma Bowen's story to life.Part 3 - Community Questions As always, we brought our community into the conversation.

Sheriff Sarah Breaker takes Allan in for questioning. Alan's phone rings, his wife's voice faintly coming through, followed by a chilling voice dictating Alan's next moves if he ever wants to see her alive again. At Lovers' Peak, the kidnapper demands Alan's manuscript, claiming it foretells future events. Their confrontation escalates, leading to a brutal struggle and a desperate chase through the darkness. The kidnapper escapes, leaving Alan to fight his way back to the Cabin. Barry, finally understanding the gravity of their situation, supports Alan's frantic efforts. Barry receives a call from Rose, under the sinister influence of an old woman, setting a deadly trap. Alan presses on towards Rose, but both he and Barry fall unconscious as They drink Rose' coffee. As Alan awakens from his nightmare, the truth crashes down on him: the mysterious editors are Barbara Jagger and Thomas Zane. Returning to Barry's car, he finds himself surrounded by FBI agents and police, led by the relentless FBI Agent Nightingale. The Dark Presence strikes, chaos erupts as Alan narrowly escapes the police. At the KBF-FM radio station, he confronts a darkness-possessed gate, its malevolence blocking his path. Fending off the swarming Taken, Alan makes his way inside, meeting Pat Maine, the radio host. Yet again, Nightingale and his men close in, cornering Alan. Sheriff Sarah Breaker intervenes, but Nightingale's volatile temper flares as he shoots at Alan, allowing him to slip away amidst the chaos. Reaching the train depot, Alan steals a car, leaving possessed machinery and Taken adversaries in his wake. He journeys to the Coal Mine Museum, waiting until nightfall for Ben Mott's call about a change of plans. The new rendezvous: Mirror Peak lookout. The path is fraught with danger as Alan battles Taken and poltergeists, his resolve unwavering. Traversing through a ghost town and silver mine, Alan hears Alice's haunting voice echoing through the tunnels. Emerging near the lookout, he navigates the mountain ruins, overhearing Mott's tortured confession that he never had Alice. Desperation turns to fury as Alan approaches the kidnapper, but the Dark Presence manifests as a violent tornado, ripping Mott into the air. In a climactic struggle, the Dark Presence targets Alan, threatening to tear him asunder. With a last desperate flare, Alan is flung into the lake. As he sinks into the abyss, a hand reaches.

In this episode, Peter Lampert, lead portfolio manager of the International Equity Strategy, discusses the recent Chinese stimulus and its effects on emerging markets. He highlights key long-term risks in China, including weak sentiment, regulatory challenges, and geopolitical tensions, while emphasizing the potential of companies like Tencent and Tencent Music. The conversation also covers Turkey's Bim, a discount retailer thriving amid economic uncertainty. Peter explains how the portfolio's success stems from stock selection, especially with stealth performers like Vietnam's FPT and Taiwan's IGS, and the importance of balancing macro risks with company-specific growth potential.   Key Takeaways:   •China's recent stimulus signals a shift from restrictive policies to boosting economic growth, leveraging the U.S. Fed's easing cycle to inject liquidity and stabilize the economy. •The stimulus could mitigate three key challenges: weak consumer sentiment, regulatory uncertainty, and geopolitical risks. While long-term issues persist, the focus on growth reduces the likelihood of worst-case scenarios in the near term. •Macro factors and bottom-up analysis are deeply intertwined in portfolio decisions. As risks shift, so do portfolio positions. •Higher macro risks in China lead to applying higher discount rates and requiring better ROI. Growth projections for economically sensitive companies are adjusted lower due to structural challenges, leading to exits when valuations no longer meet the stricter risk criteria. •Companies with independent growth drivers can perform well despite China's economic challenges, as they are less reliant on the broader economy and can thrive even in a weaker market environment. •One example is Tencent, whose strong management, dominant WeChat position, and conservative monetization approach offer growth opportunities. Despite China's economic challenges, Tencent can pull monetization levers, making its valuation attractive amid broader pessimism. •This year's strong performance of the emerging markets portfolio has been driven by careful stock selection, focusing on lesser-known "stealth performers" like FPT, IGS, and Aegis Logistics, which consistently generate shareholder value. •Peter highlighted one such performer: Bim, a Turkish discount retailer. Bim has thrived despite economic challenges. With Turkey's economic outlook improving, Bim is positioned for long-term success as it continues to offer value to consumers.   Host: Rob Campbell, CFA, Mawer Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Peter Lampert, CFA, Mawer Portfolio Manager   This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.   Founded in 1974, Mawer Investment Management Ltd.

Ket tells Kim about Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Despite the title, there was very little “taking” of Manhattan. Frankly, there was very little Manhattan… or blood. But there WAS a 36 year old high school student. Can someone who lives in New Jersey tell us about this voyage these children embarked upon? Is it truly this harrowing? Are there pirates? Most importantly, we'll learn if Kim will live or die in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.Dir.

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM WHEN TODAY'S “KARMIC EVOLUTION'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!”  for all of this & more Astro News You Can Use!First we review what went down during the balsamic period of last month's lunar cycle, then discuss the August 4 Leo New Moon & Mercury's station retrograde in Virgo from the lens of the upcoming American presidential election.Could it be that Mercury retrograde in Virgo asks us to reevaluate our attitude toward whether or not a woman can be president? Especially given that Virgo's traditionally an archetypal sign representing, among other things, the girl next door & “the virgin” (which of course applies to females and not males in this patriarchal world we've been living in for so long.)Next we look at the energies inherent in the upcoming new synodic cycle when Mars meets Jupiter in Gemini & Mercury retrograde reenters Leo August 14. Will our gung ho attitude be slowed by Mercury Rx AND frustrated since Mars also squares Saturn in Pisces late on August 14/early August 15?And might this frustration relate to resistance (Saturn) to the motivation (Mars) to electing a female as the head of state here in the U.S.? And might such resistance prove frustrating to many who support electing the first American female head of state? As always, however, Mars/Saturn frustration is best relieved by slow, concentrated, hard work!Next we turn our attention to the upcoming repeat of Mercury retrograde in Leo square to Uranus in Taurus & the Leo Sun's conjunction with Mercury retro in Leo—on August 18. We might remember this Mercury direct square to Uranus just after the July 21 Capricorn Full Moon & how the world was rocked by President Joe Biden's sudden announcement he was dropping out of the presidential race.So, what will it be this time? And might it be related to the scare the world felt when the stock market took a sudden dive on August 2 (given that Venus squared Uranus that day) and then continued its downward movement as Venus quincunxed Pluto August 5 (signifying the need for an adjustment?)So, might the August 18 Mercury Rx/Uranus square & Leo Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction lead us to a repeat of some sort of sudden, possibly shocking announcement? Perhaps related to the announcement of an interest rate drop by U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell BEFORE the expected date in September--especially since Venus squares Jupiter August 18 too?Join us at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM as we explore all of these astro energies as they relate to the news, and more! Especially as we look also at the deeper meaning of the current Mercury retrograde cycle (which ends August 24) as he begins to enter the fire element for the rest of the year and beyond!Are we tasked to ask ourselves now—as renowned Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan suggests in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape”--“How can my inspiration create my future?” Much food for thought so be sure to join us & have a listen as we take a deeper dive into all this & more ! Namaste…

In this episode of Queer Story Time, host Stevie interviews Ben Greene (he/him), an international public speaker, transgender man, and author of the book "My Child is Trans, Now What?". As a passionate advocate for transgender youth, Ben strives to meet everyone with compassion, regardless of their starting point. Join us as Ben shares insights on the importance of unconditional parental support, the impact of societal expectations, and his ongoing advocacy work.Key Points:Parental Support: Ben emphasizes that children exploring their gender identity need unconditional love and support from their parents. Delaying support can lead to feelings of isolation and a desire to leave home as soon as possible.Exploration: Allowing children to explore their gender identity without judgment is crucial. Exploration is a natural part of childhood and should not be restricted by rigid gender norms.Gender Expectations: Parents often impose their own gender expectations on their children. Letting go of these expectations benefits all children, helping them develop into emotionally intelligent and confident adults.Misconceptions: Ben discusses his own fears and misconceptions about hormone therapy, noting that societal narratives often distort the realities of transitioning.Identity: It's important to recognize that trans individuals have multifaceted identities beyond their gender. Trans people lead diverse and fulfilling lives.Advocacy: Ben addresses lawmakers, highlighting that anti-trans laws are unpopular and fail to address pressing societal issues. He urges them to consider the broader impact of their actions.Support Networks: Queer and trans youth should find supportive networks and allies to help them navigate challenges and advocate on their behalf.Storytelling: Sharing personal stories is a profound way to foster connection and understanding. Holding space for each other's truths is essential.Future Projects: Ben is working on a fantasy novel that explores the magic inherent in the trans experience, aiming to put more positive and diverse narratives into the world.Connect with Ben:Instagram: @pseudo.broTikTok: @pseudobroVisit his website: www.bgtranstalks.com Announcements:Queer Story Time Community Facebook Group: Now live and free to join!

I've had a chance to see 5 out of the 8 pieces in competition, and all 6 of the non-competition pieces curated by Atlas V in an exhibition titled "exhibition 'exhibition 'Cinema Beyond the Frame: An Introduction to Virtual Reality'.

In June 1907, five plucky teams departed the Chinese capital and embarked on a 9,317-mile automobile race to Paris. Traversing scorching deserts and perilous mountain passes in ill-equipped vehicles, the participants regularly risked their lives – but their tenacity would transform attitudes towards the car forever. Kassia St Clair spoke to Jon Bauckham about the story behind the race, and what it can tell us about the wider history of transport, communication and globalisation.
