Episode 3663: Dr. Kelly Flanagan explores the invisible walls we build around our hearts and minds, revealing how these boundaries shape our relationships, protect our sense of self, and sometimes isolate us. He offers powerful insights into how therapy helps us thoughtfully renovate these walls, neither tearing them down nor fortifying them blindly, but crafting doors that allow connection on our terms.

"Therapy is not meant to be a wrecking ball for the walls we have built. Therapy is a place where our walls are given the renovation they require."

Robbie Bent is the co-founder of Othership—a multi-million dollar wellness movement centered around sauna, breathwork, cold plunge, and emotional connection. After a devastating startup failure left him broke and struggling with addiction, what began as backyard ice bath experiments during COVID evolved into one of the most innovative wellness concepts today. In this raw conversation, Robbie shares how his darkest moments led to discovering somatic practices that not only saved his life but inspired a business helping thousands heal together. Robbie and Megan explore why traditional therapy often falls short, how Othership became a "Trojan Horse" for emotional processing, and why the real transformation happens not in the sauna or ice bath—but in the vulnerable sharing that follows. Beyond the emotional insights, Robbie gets tactical about scaling brick-and-mortar businesses, dealing with copycats, founder mode versus delegation, and the profound loneliness of building something meaningful while trying to be a present father and husband. This conversation reveals why the future of wellness isn't about optimizing alone; it's about witnessing each other's humanity—and healing in community. Topics & Takeaways What Othership is and why it's more than sauna and ice baths The emotional regulation crisis and the new wave of wellness How hot/cold contrast therapy is a Trojan horse for emotional healing The science behind breathwork, group sharing, and co-regulation Why Robbie believes emotional health is “where fitness was in 2009” The story behind Othership's founders and their radically intentional space design Building emotional safety in a luxury-meets-humility environment From addiction and startup failure to healing and service How Robbie overcame shame, scarcity, and perfectionism The power of vulnerability and the healing force of group connection What makes Othership polarizing—and why that's the point Cult-like brand love, social wellness, and the death of shame How Robbie manages competition, fear, and founder pressure Why success is about how deeply you impact someone, not how many   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

Foreign aid is dead — long live foreign aid. On July 1st, 2025, the U.S. Agency for International Development — USAID — shut its doors for good. An institution born under Kennedy to be America's moral halo and Cold War firewall, it fed, healed, and built half the Global South for 60 years. Some say it saved 91 million lives; The Lancet says its closure could mean 14 million more deaths by 2030, a third of them kids. Bush calls that a tragedy. Obama calls it a colossal mistake. Bono writes a poem and cries. But the truth is harder to swallow: aid is a lifeline — but it's also a leash. And America just yanked it.This is realpolitik with a humanitarian face. Kennedy made foreign aid a Trojan Horse of goodwill and soft control. You keep kids alive, you keep regimes in your orbit. Bush knew it — PEPFAR, his AIDS relief plan, was moral triage and evangelical diplomacy. Obama, ever the grown-up, saw it as soft power's last best card: stabilizing failed states while creating new markets. But even he knew it was a moral leasehold — borrowed time for the world's poorest, funded by taxpayers whose mercy has an expiration date.And then came the burn-it-down populists. Reagan once said the scariest words in the English language were: “I'm from the government and I'm here to help.” Elon Musk put that on a T-shirt, ran USAID through his “Department of Government Efficiency,” and called it fraud. Trump shrugged and told the base: why send 17 cents a day to Sudan when you can buy votes at home? Musk called it a criminal racket. And the landlord foreclosed.So here's the raw question: is it better to live forever on a drip of pity — or drown free? AID is like AIDS meds: once you start, you can't stop, or you die. In Sudan, five million lose healthcare overnight. In sub-Saharan Africa, PEPFAR's cut means HIV deaths could spike again, kids orphaned by a policy pivot. Some will say America murdered them. But maybe they were already living on borrowed time.You can rage at the empire's moral hypocrisy. You should. But also ask: would you build your family's survival on the grace of someone else's Congress, someone else's donor mood, someone else's tax politics? Would you build your castle on soft ground? In Hawaii, they'd say: never build on leased land owned by a Queen's trust. Because the trust can pull the ground out any day.This is a story about the hard edge under the soft empire. It's about the village that was saved — but never finished its own well. It's about the landlord with the mercy kill switch. It's about the moment the halo flickered out and the people left holding the bag realized they'd always been on the moral leash.So if I sound like an asshole for saying it — AITA? Probably. But the ground is still soft. And pity, like funding, always expires.Listen, think, argue — but ask yourself: what do you build when the lifeline's gone?

Five years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party “fundamentally transformed” Hong Kong from a relatively free and economically thriving territory into just another enslaved city within the People's Republic of China.  With Beijing's imposition of a draconian national security law, the CCP finished off the last vestiges of the “one-country, two-systems” arrangement it promised Great Britain would apply for fifty years when she surrendered the colony in 1997.   Dissent has been crushed, with its champions like Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong cruelly imprisoned. The mainland's totalitarian social credit system enforces the Party's edicts. And Hong Kong's capital market now serves as a financial Trojan Horse, a vehicle for Wall Street to fundraise for Chinese military companies like CATL.  An even worse fate awaits Taiwan if the Chinese Communists can next acquire it, one way or another. That must not happen. This is Frank Gaffney.

Even today, Satan can subvert the church and try to destroy Christ's body from the inside (using spiritual trojan horses). We must not be ignorant of Satan's tactics and schemes.

Vanessa Cominsky joins Case and Sam to RAGE against this awkward historical epic! Overview Podcast hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea provide a framework for discussing the 2004 film Troy, highlighting its connection to early 2000s epic films like Gladiator and 300. Vanessa Cominsky, a guest and classics major, notes a 4-year professional bond with Case stemming from shared academic interests. David Benioff, the film's screenwriter, is discussed in relation to his later work on Game of Thrones and identified issues in narrative depth. Whitewashing criticism surfaces regarding the film's predominantly white cast, despite its story set in a historically diverse region. Analysis reveals a lack of clear passage of time, compressing the depicted 10-year Trojan War into a brief narrative span. Costume design receives praise for historical accuracy while the film's runtime discrepancies are critiqued, with the director's cut deemed excessive. Thematic exploration includes Agamemnon's characterization as a villain symbolizing US imperialism, contrasting with sympathetic portrayals of the Trojans. Sean Bean's potential as Odysseus is noted but criticized for underutilization, while Peter O'Toole's Priam provides limited but impactful performance. Improvement suggestions include altering the title to better reflect Achilles' journey and revising the narrative structure to enhance character development. Upcoming initiatives include a scholarship program for women in wine, launched by Vanessa Cominsky's nonprofit Vin Vitalite in 2025. @vminsky @womenofwinedc Www.vinVitalité.org (Pronounced vinn vitahlihtay) Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 02:45) Hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea introduce the 'Another Pass' podcast, discussing movie analysis and improvements. Guest Vanessa Cominsky introduced as Case's coworker from wine/spirits industry and fellow classics major. Discussion of 4-year professional relationship and bonding over classics background. Movie Context & Background (02:45 - 09:38) Analysis of 2004 film Troy as adaptation loosely based on oral tradition. Discussion of movie within context of early 2000s epic films including Gladiator, 300, and Lord of the Rings trilogy. David Benioff identified as screenwriter, connecting to later Game of Thrones writing style issues. Observation that Odysseus character tells audience he's clever but never demonstrates intelligence in actual scenes. Political interpretation: movie reflects 2004 centrist liberal perspective on Middle Eastern conflicts with 'support the troops' messaging. Film Production & Casting Analysis (09:38 - 19:22) Vanessa's personal connection: used movie for high school Latin convention project and senior thesis. Whitewashing criticism - movie depicts conflict between Greece and Middle East with entirely white cast. Brad Pitt as main marketing draw playing Achilles in peak popularity period. Case's viewing experience in Rome during classics trip, creating nostalgic connection to material. Story Structure & Adaptation Choices (19:22 - 28:32) Movie covers broader Trojan War story rather than just Iliad, including Trojan Horse sequence not in original epic. Brian Cox as Agamemnon praised as perfect casting choice despite whitewashing issues. Discussion of movie's approach to gods - humans take credit for actions rather than divine intervention. ️ Character Analysis - Heroes and Villains (28:32 - 38:14) Agamemnon positioned as main villain representing US imperialism, while Trojans portrayed sympathetically. Hector vs Achilles juxtaposition works well as respective champions of each side. Orlando Bloom as Paris criticized as too whiny and lacking roguish charm needed for character. Eric Bana as Hector praised as everyone's 'big brother' figure and moral center. Production Design & Technical Elements (38:14 - 47:42) Costume design highly praised for historical accuracy and visual distinction between Greeks and Trojans. Director's cut vs theatrical cut - director's cut too long at 3 hours 16 minutes with unnecessary gore. Runtime issues - theatrical cut feels rushed while director's cut is excessive. War Portrayal & Geographic Issues (47:43 - 56:37) Time compression problem - 10-year war feels like weeks or months with no passage of time indicated. Troy's geography poorly established - unclear city layout and siege logistics. Siege warfare portrayed as single-direction battle rather than comprehensive blockade. Thematic Elements & Religious Context (56:38 - 01:05:46) Gods' role minimized to hint at divine influence without direct intervention. Moral philosophy embedded in Achilles-Briseis conversations about mortality and divinity. Historical accuracy questioned regarding Bronze Age vs Classical Greek terminology and social structures. Casting and Performance Critique (01:05:46 - 01:15:32) Sean Bean as Odysseus underutilized despite perfect casting choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam noted as big casting choice but limited screen time. James Cosmo casting questioned as underused Trojan general. Improvement Proposals - Sam's Pitch (01:15:32 - 01:26:16) Title change to 'The Wrath of Achilles' to better reflect actual story focus. Sean Bean expansion - more scenes showing passage of time and war strategy. Runtime reduction - cut Trojan perspective to focus on Greek side and Achilles' journey. Narrative structure - use Odysseus as storyteller/narrator rather than voiceover. Improvement Proposals - Vanessa's Pitch (01:26:16 - 01:36:20) Scope change to focus on Achilles from moment Odysseus recruits him. Character development - establish Greek power structure and vassal relationships. Agamemnon characterization - emphasize him as villain representing imperialism more clearly. Improvement Proposals - Casey's Pitch (01:36:20 - 01:45:13) Geographic clarity - establish Troy's layout and siege positioning with additional CG shots. Time passage - visual indicators and dialogue establishing years-long conflict. Battle variety - different environments including sea battles and raids on surrounding areas. Violence balance - between theatrical cut's sanitization and director's cut's excess. Final Discussion & Wrap-up (01:45:13 - 02:05:58) David Benioff background revealed as Goldman Sachs executive's son, explaining Hollywood access. Vanessa's organization - Vin Vitalite, DC women in wine industry nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. Scholarship program launching 2025 for women in wine industry. Next episode preview - Highlander 2: The Quickening.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the announcement by RFK Jr. calling for all Americans to have wearable tracking devices within 4 years, claiming it's his "vision." RFK Jr. who had long spoken out against surveillance technology claims his vision is that all Americans have "wearables" in the next 4 years allowing all health related issues to be tracked and traced in the moment. A clear Trojan Horse. He says this leads to "early detection" which in turn would mean big pharma can put you on drugs faster. He claims this is about "Making America Healthy Again." Of course this opens a massive door to surveillance under the guise of "convenience" as always. This is being called for at the same time Trump taps Palantir to create a massive database on all Americans following his meeting with Alex Karp, Larry Find of BlackRock, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk in Saudi Arabia, developing a massive AI surveillance and military system. This also comes as more propaganda comes out pushing people to get Neuralink so they can play video games with their brains. Of course, neuralink is connected to a Pentagon funded mesh network. That reminds us... Yuval Noah Harari claims his dream is to seem people placated on drugs playing video games. How convenient that the World Economic Forum agenda is exactly that of Elon Musk's and the Trump administration's. Meanwhile in the UK, as they roll out their digital ID, they're now mandating that all newborn babies have to receive DNA testing. On top of this, nanotechnology in vaccines continues to be a persisting problem and the US government is still pushing self amplifying mRNA vaccines for Bird Flu.

The so-called "Religious Liberty Commission," born under Trump, isn't about freedom; it's a brazen power grab cloaked in piety. This Washington D.C. gathering, a veritable who's who of the Christian right, from Dan Patrick to Dr. Phil (?), convened to lament America's perceived lack of Christianity. But behind the hand-wringing, a sinister agenda brews: to enforce a Christian nationalist vision, silencing dissent and rewriting the rules to their liking.This episode rips the mask off this charade, exposing the commission's blatant disregard for anyone outside their narrow religious circle. Witnesses like Fish Stark and Rachel Laser reveal a rhetoric of conspiracy and persecution, as these self-proclaimed victims twist reality to fit their narrative. We see this play out in Ohio, where the Center for Christian Virtue pushes a budget that betrays true Christian values, slashing funds for the vulnerable while advancing an anti-abortion crusade.From Ohio's voucher programs to Tennessee's assault on trans youth healthcare, the episode lays bare the consequences of weaponized religious fervor. It's a fight for the soul of America, a battle against those who would twist religious freedom into a tool of oppression. This isn't about faith; it's about control, and it's time we call it what it is.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Josh Sigurdson reports on the massive escalation of war with Iran as President Trump allegedly green lit the attacks on Tehran by Israel whom he bows to. Trump is saying he hasn't made the final decision yet on striking Iran but says he will one second before to maintain mystery. This is insanity. His base is being fractured as he calls them stupid for simply being against a war that would cause millions of deaths worldwide after Trump himself ran on being a "peace president." He spent the largest military budget in US history recently at $1 trillion. Trump and Ted Cruz are both claiming that Iran tried to assassinate Trump which there is no other evidence of than the word of Benjamin Netanyahu. It seems false flag season is certainly upon us with claims like this. Tucker Carlson had it out with Ted Cruz on his show after Trump called him "kooky" and claimed only he decides what "America First" means. Even Roger Stone and Charlie Kirk are calling out Trump on these latest moves as he cozies up to the very neocons that created the "never Trump movement." Iran's top allies are Russia and China and it appears with military exercises that Russia is preparing to come and help defend Iran against Israel, the United States, Britain and others. This is incredibly dangerous. Russia is also building nuclear bases in Iran. The propaganda being forced down the throats of MAGA is "weapons of mass destruction." We've heard this one before and it was Netanyahu who originally made this claim in congress in 2002, pushing the United States into the Iraq War leading to over 2 million deaths. While much of MAGA are pushing back, a large amount are in a daze and following the Trojan Horse to their demise. Meanwhile, the supply chain faces massive disruption as the Strait of Hormuz sees potential military shutdowns. An oil tanker has already gone up in flames. An Iranian minister is threatening a 100 day oil blockade. This could easily affect your ability to fill up, your ability to get food that is at least somewhat affordable and could impact your electricity. But not to worry! Palantir is here with a new digital ID system meant to force you onto rations under emergency orders! As long as you do as you're told! You best prepare now. Don't be dependent.

In this episode of Crack the Book, we take a look at Week Fourteen of Ted Gioia's Humanities Course, covering Virgil's The Aeneid (Books 1–2), Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 1), and selections from The Portable Roman Reader. The focus is on key texts from Roman literature, their historical context, and their connections to earlier Greek works, providing an overview of their content and significance.Key Discussion Points: Virgil's The Aeneid (Robert Fagles' Translation): Written between 29–19 BCE, The Aeneid serves as Rome's foundational epic, modeled on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Book 1 opens with Aeneas, a Trojan survivor, shipwrecked on Carthage's shore due to Juno's interference, meeting Queen Dido, an exile from Tyre. Book 2 recounts Troy's fall, including the Trojan Horse stratagem and Aeneas' escape with his father Anchises and son Ascanius, losing his wife Creusa. The text emphasizes Aeneas' pietas (duty to gods, family, state). Divine rivalries, notably Juno's grudge from the Judgment of Paris and Venus' protection of Aeneas, drive the narrative. The Fagles translation includes maps and a glossary for accessibility. Ovid's Metamorphoses (David Raeburn's Translation): Composed around 8 CE, Metamorphoses is a 15-book poem chronicling transformations from creation to Ovid's era. Book 1 covers the creation of the cosmos from Chaos, the division into four elements (fire, water, earth, air), and humanity's decline from the Golden to Iron Age. It includes a flood narrative with Deucalion and Pyrrha and the story of Io, transformed into a cow by Jupiter to evade Juno. The Raeburn edition organizes vignettes with titled sections for clarity. The Portable Roman Reader (Basil Davenport, Ed.): Published in 1951, this anthology includes poetry from Rome's Republic, Augustan, and later Empire periods. Catullus (c. 60s–50s BCE) offers direct, personal verses, translated by Byron. Horace (65–8 BCE) writes complex, philosophical odes, less accessible due to style. Martial (c. 38–104 CE) provides epigrams on public life, including two elegies for a deceased young girl. Davenport's notes contextualize each era, and the anthology features prose by Livy, Caesar, and Tacitus for future study. Contextual Notes: The texts reflect Rome's engagement with Greek literary traditions, adapting gods' names (e.g., Hera to Juno) and themes. The course's schedule prioritizes rapid coverage to identify key works and connections.Takeaways:I loved this week so much! It felt great to come "home" to Rome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A28R9JnfNro Podcast audio: In this episode of The ARI Bookshelf, Elan Journo, Mike Mazza, Nikos Sotirakopoulos and Robertas Bakula discuss The Technological Republic, the recent New York Times bestseller by Alexander C. Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies, and Nicholas W. Zamiska, the company's head of corporate affairs and legal counsel. Karp and Zamiska argue that America's future greatness hinges on a renewed commitment to national industrial policy. They claim that Silicon Valley is failing the nation by prioritizing personal ambition and consumer gratification over government-directed projects. In response, they claim to offer a new model of partnership between the U.S. government and American business. The discussion covered: The plausibility of the book's arguments; How the book is a Trojan Horse for collectivism; How the book undermines freedom and promotes central planning; How the book rehashes old ideas; Why only a free society is worth defending; The disturbing metaphysical premises behind the book's worldview. The video was recorded on June 2, 2025 and posted on June 5 2025.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the ground in Kelowna, British Columbia as the city is redesigned in the image of the World Economic Forum's agenda. While the idea is to "save the climate," the reality is far more nefarious as roads are closed across the city as well as countless other towns and cities across Canada and the United States, exactly as we saw on the ground in Oxford, UK in 2023. Oxford was one of the first places to bring in 15 Minute Cities alongside Cambridge. We documented the surveillance network on the ground there at the time as a technocratic grid was constructed. Roads are closed, restaurants are moved into the roads and people are tantalized by convenience, the guise under which tyranny is established. They don't want you driving cars. They want you dependent on government transportation. They want you dependent on grocery stores and their rations under the newly established CBDC system attached to digital IDs and social credit. Both sides of the political paradigm are bringing this in, including President Donald Trump and Elon Musk as contracts go out for Palantir. Beware the Trojan Horse. In this video, we break down what we've seen on the ground and the latest news leading to this global agenda. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Forget 'needs analysis' – it's all about opportunity-based sales. In this episode, Lance Tyson tackles why salespeople often dodge new business conversations. He reveals how to reframe pitches as 'nitrous oxide' for brands, not just fulfilling needs. Discover the real goal of that first meeting (hint: it's not closing the deal) and how 'tactical spends' can be your Trojan Horse to bigger wins. We're diving into why sales meetings often get stuck on existing business and how to shift that focus back to landing those fresh opportunities.Lance is the bestselling author of Selling Is An Away Game and The Human Sales Factor.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – Under a 72 hour ultimatum, the Trump administration demands Harvard unveil student and scholar funding tied to CCP influence. This strategic move targets decades of Chinese soft-power infiltration through elite scholarships, legal shield, red philanthropy, and research agendas that shield Party narratives. By exposing hidden ties, Washington aims to dismantle the CCP's academic intelligence network.

We've been talking about RFK Jr for years, and even dedicated an entire chapter to him in our 2023 book—and we're going to keep covering him. Since his power and influence has only grown, and since he's now in charge of America's entire health apparatus, there's no way to avoid it. This week we catch up on the last few months of MAHA. Derek looks into why he believes Kennedy's apparatus, despite claims of being about health, is really a cover for Project 2025's deregulatory agenda. Julian discusses a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Covid contrarians Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad, who now both work under Kennedy. Finally, Matthew will contemplate Kennedy's crude remarks on autism through the lens of disability politics. Show Notes What Has All This Restaurant Food Done to My Gut?

Josh Sigurdson reports on the approval of gene edited pork by the FDA which many believe could seriously affect the human body going forward as simultaneously, mRNA meat is being rushed to pass and the FDA fast tracks "Self Amplifying mRNA vaccines." Farmers are begging for a bailout as they get pummeled by climate restrictions placed on them over the past 20 years, the war, the trade war, inflation and the latest fear campaign surrounding Bird Flu. Cattle are at a 73 year low. That means in 1952 when there were only 1 billion people on earth. Now there are 8 to 10 billion people but the same level of shortage. That is catastrophic. Now, governments are developing dangerous alternatives and poisonous meats for people to eat and they just happen to be simultaneously bringing in orders for rationing food. Interestingly, when one looks to Israel where AI technology and facial recognition is determining who gets ration foods, it's suspicious to say the least that the US government is rolling out facial recognition technology in the streets across the board. This is something we warned about back in 2014 when China rolled out their facial recognition technology to fine people for jaywalking. China was the role model for the Great Reset after all according to Klaus Schwab. All of this is happening as Trump makes deals with Elon, Palantir, OpenAI and the Saudis to bring in an Iron Dome and a massive technocratic surveillance network based on AI? It's obvious that this is the New World Order and it's being brought in by the Trojan Horse of Trump under the guise of being "anti-establishment." Are you prepared?

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to rip into one of the most turbulent weeks in global politics and economics we've seen in a long time. We break down not just the moves, but the motives and the possible massive consequences behind Trump's high-octane foreign policy—from slashing tariffs with China and locking in a colossal Saudi investment deal, to taking the unprecedented step of targeting Big Pharma with an executive order to lower drug prices. We get into whether all this fast action is actually helping America or just stirring up more chaos. Are we leveraging our moment, or just getting played by the likes of Xi and Putin? Does tough talk and bold negotiating end with real results for America, or are we setting ourselves up for long-term headaches, especially with midterms on the horizon? Then we peel back the layers on some of the rawest culture war issues, from immigration crackdowns in the UK, the controversy about a Muslim-majority city in Texas, to the viral video of world leaders acting out-of-pocket on a train to Kiev.

Should Trump accept a $400 million jet from Qatar that would temporarily serve as Air Force One? Savage breaks down the three leading arguments against accepting the jet and the possible consequences surrounding the decision. Savage argues that accepting the gift has poor optics, risks the midterm elections for Republicans, and poses security threats. He stresses the need for critical thinking and cautions against potential espionage and sabotage. Savage then sounds off on recent news, blasting Bernie Sanders and Occasional-Cortex and his thoughts on the new Pope.

Are Republicans ready to cheer for a president who's sold out to authoritarian Muslim leaders who put millions straight into his personal bank accounts? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our show opens with huge news from Geneva as the United States and China have struck a deal. This is a huge win on top of the past week's wins. Even PM Kier Starmer, after his White House meeting last week to sign-off on the UK trade deal seems like a different person. The Left seems full of violent agitators and activists. They have no problem lying about their crimes or the crimes of illegals. They are always America last. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) may be in some hot water with news that CCP backed hedge funds invested in his spy balloon operation. It seems China has their fingers in so many pies in the Western world. Then we spend some time on the faux outrage over Qatar's donation of a luxury 747 to the United States. I discuss both sides of the issue, from the Left who are convinced this is a bribe to those on the Right calling it a rigged Trojan Horse. It feels like most are missing the point and it's Trump calling out Boeing and all other government suppliers that their days of billing for nothing are over. 24 schools in the state of Illinois have zero students who are able to read at grade level. It's sad, but it seems to be the goal of the Left. They don't want people able to read and ask questions. Finally, speaking of not asking questions, Chuck Dodd said the Biden cognitive decline story was a result of sources lying to the press. In other words, his excuse is reporters go with whatever their “sources” tell them without vetting, digging deeper, having any sense of curiosity or doing anything remotely journalistic.

A conversation with Paul McMahon, co-founder SLM partners, about forestry being the gateway drug for natural capital for institutional investors to put money to work. Why? Because they are used to investing in forestry — it is a well-established investment sector with very long-time horizons. Rotations here are 30+ years, but it's also one with many challenges: current practices usually mean cutting down a forest after 30 years and completely replanting it. That basically scars a landscape for life — mostly monocultures.Interestingly, alternatives have been popping up over the last few decades. Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF), where you selectively harvest and let natural processes do most of the work, requires highly skilled foresters, but it can deliver superior returns alongside all the environmental benefits. These are production forests you want to be in — and forest bathe in. Now that a lot of academic research is emerging about carbon levels, returns, etc., the time might be right for more money to flow into it.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/paul-mcmahon-4.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

The story of the Trojan Horse still applies today. 

Military sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening a government effort, or organization through subversion, obstruction, demoralization, destabilization, division, disruption, or destruction. It can take place left of bang or during war with the object the weakening of the military effort by an adversary. Military sabotage has been taking place since the early military adventures of men. The apocryphal story of the Trojan Horse is an ancient example and variations on the theme echo through historical warfare.

In this explosive live episode, Courtenay Turner will unravel the ideological undercurrents of Game~B-a movement positioning itself as a decentralized, pluralistic alternative to modern civilization's “rivalrous systems” while advancing a technocratic vision steeped in Hegelian dialectics and Leftist teleology. Framed as a “post-political” solution to societal collapse, Game~B's fusion of blockchain networks, AI-driven collective intelligence, and utopian rhetoric mirrors the Marxist critique of alienation-yet proposes a technological “Omega Point” eerily aligned with H.G. Wells' World Brain, Teilhard de Chardin's noosphere, and the Dark Enlightenment's war on “The Cathedral”.Key Themes:1: Game~B's Hegelian Roots:• How Game~B's critique of “Game~A” (neoliberal capitalism) recycles Marxist resentment of civilizational “rivalry” while rebranding collectivism as decentralized network states.• Its vision of “emergent coherence” through blockchain and AI mirrors Wells' call for a “permanent World Encyclopedia” and Teilhard's noospheric convergence, fulfilling Leftism's transcendent aspirations without overt coercion.2: The Phoenix Agenda:• Bret Weinstein's call to “Phoenix the Republic” and Jim Rutt's musings on “burning down” civilization's operating system evoke Operation Phoenix's CIA-orchestrated “creative destruction.” Is this a blueprint for controlled collapse?• Parallels to Hesse's Glass Bead Game: Will Game~B's “membranes” of self-organizing networks prioritize spiritual elitism over democratic accountability?3: Technocratic Singularity:• SingularityNET's decentralized AI market and optimal incentives for collective intelligence promise cooperation-but could entrench algorithmic governance.• Teilhard's Omega Point meets Silicon Valley: Is Game~B a secular rapture for the “Cognitariat,” leveraging blockchain to bypass nation-states?4: Leftism in Right-Wing Clothing:• James Lindsay's analysis of Leftist “Manichean telos” finds new expression in Game~B's romanticization of indigenous systems and Aquarian-age rhetoric.• Dark Enlightenment critiques of “The Cathedral” are co-opted to legitimize a post-democratic tech aristocracy. Join Courtenay as she dissects whether Game~B is humanity's salvation-or a Trojan Horse for a digitized Neo-Feudalism. Can decentralized networks transcend ideological capture, or will they amplify the very rivalries they claim to solve? Is the Phoenix a symbol of renewal-or a Tavistock-approved psyop? Tune in for a no-holds-barred exploration of civilization's next OS. __________________________________________________________________ ⁠⁠▶ GET On-Demand Access for Courtenay's Cognitive Liberty Conference⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Cognitive liberty Conference⁠⁠ ----------------------------------------- ▶ Follow & Connect with Courtenay: ⁠⁠CourtenayTurner.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠ ▶ Support my work & Affiliate links: ⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠ ⁠⁠GiveSendGo⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Venmo⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Cash APP⁠⁠ ⁠⁠RNC Store Vitamin B-17!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Far Infrared Saunas...Promo: COURTZ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Stem Cell Activation⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Gold Gate Capital⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Free Satellite Phone...Promo: COURTZ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠MagicDichol⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Goldbacks=Real Currency!
