Both Dan's stories seem to present exceptionally strong evidence for life after death. The first comes from the state of Illinois and is the exceptionally strange late 19th century tale of the Watseka Wonder.  Then his second story takes us back to the early 18th century to Canterbury, England. Did famed English author Daniel Defoe write  the first based-on-a-true story ghost encounter claim? Lynze begins the back half of the show with a creepy encounter with a shadowy figure inside of the mind of someone playing a game. Then, we are off to New Orleans where we hear about two fans strange stay in a French Quarter hotel. Monthly Patreon Donation: This months charitable donation is going to Ignite Adaptive Sports. Ignite Adaptive Sports mission is to provide snow sport opportunities to people with disabilities. They believe that everyone should be able to enjoy winter sports, regardless of skill or ability level. We are a volunteer based organization that provide snow sport lessons to athletes with disabilities out of Eldora Mountain Resort.  In 2024, 320 volunteers gave 22,390 hours of their time to provide 1,690 snowsports lessons to 459 athletes. Ignite Adaptive Sports provides sit skiing lessons, cross country and snowshoe lessons, downhill skiing, snowboarding and ski biking lessons. They rely on grants, donations, an annual fundraising gala, and our host mountain Eldora to be able to provide this much needed service. Dan and Lynze had the pleasure of meeting Sam Brady who works with this great non profit. Sam shared with us that Ignite Adaptive Sports is run by almost all volunteers with only 2 paid staff members. They typically receive funding for disabled veterans to be able to receive lessons  at no cost to them. However, this year,  due to budget cuts in the DEI space, it's not looking good. Sam asked if we'd be interested in supporting this cause and supporting disabled people, especially disabled veterans. We sent $11,600 over to them and put another $1250 into the scholarship fund!

Alan R. Warren: Above Suspicion: The True Story of Serial Killer Russell WilliamsYoung girl's panties started to go missing; sexual assaults began to occur, and then female bodies were found! Soon this quiet town of Tweed, Ontario, was in panic. What's even more shocking was when an upstanding resident stood accused of the assaults. This was not just any man, but a pillar of the community; a decorated military pilot who had flown Canadian Forces VIP aircraft for dignitaries such as the Queen of England, Prince Philip, the Governor General and Prime Minister of Canada.This is the story of serial killer Russell Williams, the elite pilot of Canada's Air Force One, and the innocent victims he murdered. Unlike other serial killers, Williams seemed very unaffected about his crimes and leading two different lives.Alan R. Warren describes the secret life including the abductions, rape and murders that were unleashed on an unsuspecting community. Included are letters written to the victims by Williams and descriptions of the assaults and rapes as seen on videos and photos taken by Williams during the attacks.https://amzn.to/3J8RZb7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Send us a textSome monsters aren't fiction – they're buried in Dodge City Cemetery beneath stones that read "beloved husband and father."The story of Print Olive might be the most shocking true tale we've covered on Whiskey and Westerns. While sipping Bullet Bourbon (a fitting choice given Print's remarkable ability to absorb lead throughout his violent career), we unraveled the brutal history of a man whose sadistic tendencies would make even fictional villains seem tame.Print began as a Texas cattle baron in the post-Civil War era, accumulating wealth by gathering "maverick" cattle – a term derived from Samuel Maverick, who famously refused to brand his herds. But Print's legacy wasn't built on business acumen alone. His reputation for horrific violence preceded him across the frontier. He once tied suspected rustlers to trees, wrapped them in freshly skinned wet cowhides, and watched as the rawhide slowly dried and crushed them to death in the hot Texas sun. Those who crossed the Olives had a tendency to "leave the country" permanently.When Nebraska farmers Mitchell and Ketchum killed Print's brother Bob in self-defense, Print's revenge was swift and gruesome. After capturing the men through a bounty, Print hanged Ketchum while Mitchell remained handcuffed to him, forcing Mitchell to dangle by his arm while watching his partner strangle. Print then shot both men repeatedly before burning their bodies, earning the nickname "The Man-Burner." This incident forced Print to relocate to Dodge City, where he eventually met his own violent end in a Trail City saloon.Perhaps most fascinating is how Print's brutal story influenced American literature. Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Lonesome Dove" contains characters and scenes directly inspired by Print Olive's life. Jake Spoon, the hanging scene, Dietz and PI – all have roots in the actual history of this forgotten frontier monster.Want to learn more? Visit our website to download "Ladder of Rivers," the book that chronicles Print's complete story and likely inspired McMurtry's masterpiece. Our next episode will feature the Dora Hand story, another fascinating tale connected to Print's violent web of influence.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. "Edward Masterson and the Texas Cowboys," penned by Michael King, takes readers on an exhilarating ride through the American West, focusing on the lively and gritty cattle town of Dodge City, Kansas. This thrilling dime novel plunges into the action-packed year of Ed Masterson's life as a lawman, set against the backdrop of the chaotic cattle trade, filled with fierce conflicts, shifting loyalties, and rampant lawlessness. You can order the book on Amazon.

On a morning in early-1986 in Arizona, someone sat hunched over a desk, furiously writing a letter. And almost every line of this letter included a direct threat of violence this person was going to inflict on the recipient. They kept writing, embellishing every horrible thing that they wanted to do. Finally, they finished writing and read over the letter—it was explicit and terrifying, just as they'd hoped. They put the letter down, glanced at a cardboard box sitting on the floor, and smiled. Nobody would ever suspect that the contents of that plain box would soon help them carry out the bizarre murder plot they'd had running through their head for months.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill Maher and YouTube star Brian Tyler Cohen dive into the chaos of modern politics in a freewheeling conversation covering everything from wrestling and weed to identity politics and the Iran deal. They debate whether Democrats are too focused on checking boxes to win elections, break down Trump's psychological warfare, and label one rising Democratic star “a walking campaign ad for Republicans." Stick around for a wild analogy that somehow combines wrestling, lactose intolerance, and socialism.

XI JINPING MUST ANSWER TO THE UYGHUR PEOPLE: 1/4: No Escape: The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs Kindle Edition by  Nury Turkel https://www.amazon.com/No-Escape-Chinas-Genocide-Uyghurs-ebook/dp/B09CMRPZL1/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HQXI67T1UBCW&keywords=NO+ESCAPE+TURKEL&qid=1669243597&s=books&sprefix=no+escape+turkel%2Cstripbooks%2C73&sr=1-1 In recent years, the People's Republic of China has rounded up as many as three million Uyghurs, placing them in what it calls “reeducation camps,” facilities most of the world identifies as concentration camps. There, the genocide and enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious because of the technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In the words of Turkel, “Communist China has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the world's watch.” As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people. The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions. Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel's personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China

On this episode of Inside the Epicenter, Joel Rosenberg covers a turbulent week for Israel and the global Christian community.

The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. The cold-blooded world of organized crime in Rhode Island once felt untouchable, hidden behind the stoic façades of social clubs and whispered conversations. But thanks to retired State Police Major Anthony M. Pesare, those dark corners are being pulled into the light, on the page, in the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Pesare, who served with distinction in the Rhode Island State Police for 24 years, spent a portion of his career inside the elite Intelligence Unit, investigating the Mafia, political corruption, and cold murder cases. His real-life experience forms the basis for his gripping novels They Always Win: Inspired by a True Story and Back in the Game, both part of the Gino Peterson series. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. “I've seen firsthand how the lines can blur between the law and the people we're chasing,” Pesare explains in the popular Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “The work we did wasn't just about arrests. It was about uncovering the truth, no matter how cold or hidden it was.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Murder That Went Cold One of the true cases that inspired They Always Win revolves around Frank “Bobo” Marrapese, a notorious enforcer for the Patriarca crime family. The case centered on the 1975 murder of mob associate Richard “Dickie” Callei, who was shot inside Marrapese's Acorn Social Club on Providence's Federal Hill and buried near a golf course in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. That case went cold, until the relentless work of detectives like Pesare brought it back to life. “Marrapese was feared. He was brutal. But he wasn't above the law,” Pesare said. “We had to work those cold trails, use every angle. Eventually, we got there.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Marrapese, who later died in prison while serving time for murder, racketeering, and extortion, was part of a broader criminal network that ruled much of New England's underworld for decades. The Patriarca Family: Crime and Influence The Patriarca crime family, also known as the New England Mafia, has long been an institution in organized crime history. Founded under Raymond L.S. Patriarca, the organization held power throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. At its peak, the family included over 100 made men and thrived off illegal gambling, loan-sharking, pornography, and stolen goods trafficking. The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. While the family has fractured and declined, its influence and legacy still cast a long shadow over Rhode Island's law enforcement history. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Fiction Mirrors Fact. Anthony wrote two books about his experience, "They Always Win: Inspired by a True Story" and "Back in the Game: A Gino Peterson Novel", you can get more information about those books on Amazon, also be sure to check out his website. In They Always Win, protagonist Gino Peterson walks a razor's edge between loyalty and justice. “I wanted to tell a story that captures the emotional complexity,” says Pesare. “Gino's not just fighting the mob, he's fighting his own past.” Raised in the same neighborhoods as the people he later investigates, Gino's journey mirrors Pesare's own. The novel explores Gino's internal battle and the political red tape that threatens to derail major cases. It's a story as much about identity and sacrifice as it is about the law. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. And while it's fiction, the core truths are based in reality. “Some names are changed, sure,” Pesare shares, “but the tactics, the betrayals, the pressure, that's all real.” The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. Back in the Game In the sequel "Back in the Game", Gino Peterson is once again deep inside the criminal underworld, but this time, his enemy might be someone he once called a friend. A man from Gino's old neighborhood, resurfaces on the opposite side of the law. As both men wrestle with the need to belong and the consequences of their choices, their lives move toward a violent and inevitable collision. “It's a book about redemption, about proving yourself, to the world and to yourself,” Pesare says. Real Justice, Real Experience Pesare's law enforcement background is extensive. Beyond his time as Major in the Rhode Island State Police, he served as Chief of Police in Middletown, and was Dean of the School of Justice Studies at Roger Williams University. He holds degrees in justice administration and public administration, and earned a Juris Doctor from the New England School of Law. The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Now retired, Pesare continues to speak, write, and appear on news, podcasts, and social platforms to shed light on organized crime and the law enforcement heroes who fight against it. Follow the Story The story of The Mafia and State Police, cold murders, and other crimes in Rhode Island is far from over. Pesare's books are available now and gaining attention across Apple, Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram, along with exclusive content on his official website.

Steve Jobs once said he'd rather fire someone than force them to buy into a decision they disagreed with. This flies in the face of popular leadership advice like Amazon's "disagree and commit" philosophy. In this episode, we dive deep into Jobs' consensus-driven approach at NeXT and explore why expert-driven decision making might be superior to top-down mandates.We examine how Jobs' 8-person policy team made only 25 major decisions per year, the importance of psychological safety in decision-making, and why paying people to tell you what to do (rather than just do what you say) creates better outcomes. Other topics include...Consensus vs. "disagree and commit" leadership stylesExpert-driven decision making vs. ivory tower decisions Building psychological safety for real alignmentScaling decision frameworks in growing organizationsWhen to fire vs. when to coach through disagreementPerfect for product managers, agile coaches, and leaders looking to build more effective decision-making processes.#DecisionMaking #Leadership #ProductManagementLINKSWatch on YouTubeYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596Website: http://arguingagile.comREFERENCESSource Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_W6dLP09MQWorking Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon, by Colin Bryar & Bill Carr, 2021Turn the Ship Around!

One September afternoon in 2003, a woman in Tucson, Arizona, heard a knock on her front door and answered it. She was surprised to see a Tucson police detective standing on her front steps, and even more surprised when the detective started asking a bunch of questions about her next door neighbor. The woman was a law-abiding citizen, and she didn't know anything. The detective gave her his business card and asked her to call him if that changed, but as she closed the door, she was pretty sure she would never have any reason to talk to him again. That was until a few days later, when she looked out her front window and saw two sweaty men jump out of a van and walk up the steps into her neighbor's house. She watched for a few minutes, with her heart racing, realizing that what she was watching might very well be the coverup of a murder. She let the curtain fall and ran to her purse, to dig out the detective's business card.

In December 2007, a lab technician sat at a table covered in dozens of evidence bags. The technician wasn't sure where to start, because the bags didn't contain the kind of evidence the lab normally tested. They were full of tinsel – which is a shiny, ribbon-like strip of material that's used to decorate during the holidays. The samples had been collected from various homes in Burlington, North Carolina, and now, they had to be tested against a different, specific piece of tinsel. This specific piece of tinsel was thin and silver. And it was very important, because it had been found at a crime scene. When the technician looked at the evidence bags, they realized they could immediately eliminate some of the samples because there were obvious differences between them and crime scene tinsel – like the color or thickness. But beyond that, the technician didn't know how to determine if two pieces of tinsel that looked the same were actually identical. They'd never analyzed tinsel before – and they didn't even know if it was possible to confirm a match. But the technician took a breath and started sorting through the bags anyway. Because they knew if they could figure this out… they could help solve a murder.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
