Ralph welcomes Judith Enck (founder and president of Beyond Plastics, whose goal is to eliminate plastic pollution everywhere) to discuss her new book “The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late.” Then, Ralph reflects on the 60th anniversary of “Unsafe at Any Speed.”Judith Enck is the founder and president of Beyond Plastics, whose goal is to eliminate plastic pollution everywhere. In 2009, she was appointed by President Obama to serve as regional administrator at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and served as deputy secretary for the environment in the New York Governor's Office. She is currently a professor at Bennington College, where she teaches classes on plastic pollution. She is co-author (with Adam Mahoney) of The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late.I support recycling…But the sad reality is that plastic recycling has been an abysmal failure. Always has, always will be…You cannot really accomplish high levels of recycling with plastics because you would literally have to do hundreds, if not thousands of different sorting. The people who know this the most are the plastic manufacturers. Yet they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars confusing and deceiving the public into thinking: “Don't worry about all your plastic, just toss it in your recycling bin,” knowing that most plastic never gets recycled.Judith EnckA lot of people feel overwhelmed and that it's hopeless and what can one person do? And that fails to acknowledge that the reason we're not making more progress on climate change is because of the political power of fossil fuel companies. On the plastics issue, we're taking on fossil fuel, chemical, and consumer brand companies and plastics companies. So it's a lot. It's amazing we get anything done. But people around the country are coming together and they're getting victories.Judith EnckI do think if you start paying attention to plastic in your own life, you see that there are alternatives. And then you climb the civic ladder. So you try to reduce plastic in your own home. Then you look at your kid's school. Then you look at your faith community. Then before you know it, you're at your city council asking what can the city do to reduce plastics. You're going to get a couple victories there. And then you find the statewide environmental groups that are working on this. This is for the long haul.Judith EnckThe important thing about [Unsafe at Any Speed] now is: sure, it saved millions of lives and the laws are still on the books, and even Donald Trump can't tear seatbelts and airbags out of our cars. But if we tried to do this again today, it wouldn't happen. And that's because the concentration of corporate power over Congress and the media is so much more intense now. And it's also because the decline of civic institutions and democratic institutions has been very pronounced over the last few decades. And that is sobering us up.Ralph NaderNews 12/5/251. Our top stories this week are on Venezuela. First, the BBCis out with a report on the American military build-up around the Latin American nation, which includes “air and naval forces…a nuclear-powered submarine and spy planes...a range of aircraft carriers, guided-missile destroyers, and amphibious assault ships capable of landing thousands of troops.” So far, the Trump administration has sent mixed messages on whether they plan to launch a full-scale invasion of the Bolivarian Republic, but Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro shows no signs of stepping down without a fight, having declared a “massive mobilisation” of 200,000 military personnel throughout the country. Most ominously, on November 29th, President Trump declared Venezuela's sovereign airspace closed, per the Wall Street Journal.2. However, American bellicosity towards Venezuela is unpopular at home. A CBS poll found that only 30% of Americans would favor the U.S. taking military action in Venezuela, compared to a whopping 70% opposed. Another question in this same poll found that only 13% of Americans consider Venezuela a “major threat” with 48% considering the country a “minor threat” and 39% report they don't think Venezuela is a threat at all. Unfortunately, the lack of popular support for war is unlikely to constrain the Trump administration much, but it is a notable difference from the lead-up to the Iraq War, when 70% of Americans favored an invasion. The American people want peace, even if the government does not. 3. Another key detail from the CBS poll is that “Three in four Americans…say Trump would need congressional approvalbefore taking military action in Venezuela, including just over half of Republicans.” In light of this fact, it is significant that a bipartisan group in Congress is pushing a War Powers resolution to “block strikes on Venezuela,” per the Intercept. This new push in the House is sponsored by stalwart progressive Congressman Jim McGovern and co-sponsored by dissident Republican Thomas Massie along with other progressives like Reps. Ro Khanna, Lloyd Doggett, and Joaquin Castro, among others. As the Intercept piece notes, this resolution must be acted on in the House within 15 days, but by then the administration may have already acted, pre-empting the resolution. A similar resolution has also been introduced in the Senate, primarily backed by Senators Tim Kaine and Rand Paul, with backing from other Senate Democrats, per the Hill.4. Of course, American aggression towards Venezuela is reverberating out into the international community in myriad ways. Generally speaking, while United Nations officials decry the actions, America's European allies have kept quiet – with many speculating that these countries would prefer Maduro's ouster in order to get ready access to Venezuelan oil and decrease their dependence on Russia. China however, has issued a stiff condemnation of American actions. The Iranian Students News Agencyquotes Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian's statement at a Beijing press conference, which where in he stated, “China opposes any action that violates the purposes and principles of the UN Charter or infringes upon the sovereignty and security of other countries…[and] opposes foreign forces interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs under any pretext.” He added, “We urge all parties to keep the Latin American and Caribbean region a peaceful zone and not allow the situation to escalate further.” However, beyond these condemnations, it remains unclear what, if anything, China will do to check American aggression.5. Despite all of this however, House Democratic leadership is typically feckless. In a corollary to the increasing likelihood of strikes against Venezuela directly, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has stepped up the campaign of striking boats off the country's coast. Recently, the Washington Post revealed that after a strike in September which left survivors clinging to life, Hegseth ordered a second strike, directing Admiral Frank Bradley to “kill everybody.” This revelation led to calls for House Democrats to pursue impeachment against Hegseth on charges that he violated the laws of war. However, Axiosreports House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will not pursue a Hegseth impeachment. While true that such a push would likely be DOA, it sends a dark signal that the administration can do something like this and face virtually zero official condemnation. 6. Nevertheless, Republicans have taken such unpopular actions that it seems Democrats will retake the House, perhaps by a wide margin, in the 2026 midterms – or perhaps before. So far, 31 House Republicans have announced they will not seek re-election, with some retiring and others running for other offices. Still others however are signaling that they will resign their offices before the midterms, shaving the slim House GOP majority ever slimmer. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will retire in January 2026. Now, Congresswoman Nancy Mace is reportedly considering resigning early as well, though she has denied such rumors, per KOMO News. Either way, Democrats should be taking this moment to prepare an agenda for if and when they retake control of the chamber. 7. Turning to consumer protection news, Jalopnik reports Senate Republicans are seeking to rollback decades of automobile safety regulations. In a recent hearing held by the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation ostensibly to put the CEOs of the Big Three American car manufacturers, as well as Tesla, on the record as to why cars have become so expensive, Republicans on the committee used the opportunity to blame safety regulations. Jalopnik notes that Republican Senators specifically targeted “automated emergency braking, the requirements for which will not come into effect until 2029 and have no bearing on current car prices…[and] back-seat alarms to remind you if you've left a child or pet back there. According to Kids and Car Safety, since 1990 at least 1,165 children have sweltered to death in hot cars, and another 7,500 survived with varying degrees of injury.” The cost of these sensors will amount to about $50 per vehicle. In short, while there are many reasons cars have become considerably more expensive in recent years – including everything from tariffs to data centers buying up all electronic parts – blaming safety regulations is a tired canard. 8. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is moving to kill a proposed Food and Drug Administration rule to test for asbestos in talc-based cosmetics, the Guardian reports. As this report notes, cosmetics companies have known about potential asbestos contamination of talc since the 1950s, but that fact, like so many other corporate secrets, was suppressed, only coming to light in the 1970s. Asbestos is a highly carcinogenic substance. It has been banned in over 50 countries and “No…level of exposure is considered safe.” However, attempts to ban the substance in the U.S. have been stymied by industry, beginning with the overturning of the EPA's 1989 ban.9. In more legal news, Reuters reports the British government has announced plans to “remove the historic right to trial by jury,” for defendants in criminal cases carrying potential sentences of under three years in jail. The government argues that this will help alleviate the tremendous backlog of cases before the British courts, despite the fact that the right to a jury trial in Britain dates back to the Magna Carta itself. Barbara Mills, chair of the Bar Council, which represents trial lawyers in the U.K., decried this move, stating ”there is no evidence that [the] removal [of jury trials] would reduce the backlog, nor has it been set out how an alternative system would be resourced…We urge the government to reconsider pursuing radical changes under the mistaken belief that radical equals effective.” 10. Finally, in local news, Washington D.C. Councilmember and Democratic Socialist Janeese Lewis George has officially launched her campaign to be the next mayor of the District of Columbia. Lewis George is the first serious candidate to announce a campaign to succeed unpopular three-term Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is retiring this cycle. Like Zohran Mamdani, Lewis George is prioritizing affordability in the increasingly expensive District as well as an emphasis on fixing city services like traffic safety improvement. According to the Washington Post, “Within hours of launching her campaign Monday morning, Lewis George's campaign said it had received enough money from enough D.C. residents to qualify [for the District's matching fund program], which provides public financing for campaigns that agree not to accept large-dollar donations and corporate contributions.” Within hours, “they had netted more than $110,000 in individual donations from 1,500 D.C. residents,” which after being combined with the matching funds, will total over $750,000.” However, many expect her main challenger to be Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, an ally of corporate interests and developers in the District, who will likely be bankrolled by those same interests. Whatever the future holds, this will surely be the most competitive citywide race the District has seen in decades.

The New Zealand Transport Agency has doubled down on its stance that a braking system linked to six deaths is not inherently unsafe. The Coroner determined that these brakes, found in about 70,000 vehicles in New Zealand, could not be relied upon as a sole braking system, because even a well-maintained brake can fail without warning. Despite this, the Transport Agency told Transport Minister Chris Bishop it doesn't accept the coroner's views about the breaks being inherently unsafe. It comes as RNZ can reveal another instance of a cardan shaft brake failing. And further investigations by Louisa Cleave and Jimmy Ellingham have found trucking firms that have long since stopped importing vehicles with cardan shaft parking brakes.

What happens when a holiday “thankful” theme clashes with cutting-edge technology, bold policies, and some notable missteps? We begin with Dubai's high-profile plan to introduce flying taxis and ask tough questions: can eVTOLs truly reduce travel time after accounting for boarding, airspace management, and vertiport capacity—or will they just be expensive toys hovering above gridlocked cities?Next, we discuss Australia's eye-catching ban on social media for users under 16. We openly address the issues it aims to solve—cyberbullying, grooming, and addictive content—and consider the potential loss of social and educational benefits for teens, along with the challenges of age verification, VPN use, and platform switching.Our guest, cybersecurity expert Nick Espinoza, highlights the CVE database, which quietly supports global vulnerability management. When defenders respond swiftly, it's because CVE provides a shared map. This connects to real-world enforcement—like the arrest of a suspected Russian hacker in Thailand through international cooperation—and the rapidly evolving frontline where AI counters AI. Modern defenses depend on machine learning and deep learning that analyze CVEs, detect indicators of compromise, and respond faster than humans, narrowing the gap from cyberattackers who automate their tactics.We also examine Nike's provocative concept of “e-bikes for your feet,” discussing when robotic assistance improves mobility and recovery—and when it might serve as a shortcut that sacrifices effort for convenience. Additionally, we highlight a notable failure: AI toys that used a loosely constrained model to deliver inappropriate and unsafe content to children before being removed. This underscores that safety measures are essential in consumer AI. We conclude with practical insights: a whiskey worth tasting, worthwhile laptop deals, and advice to delay TV purchases until the Super Bowl.If this blend of skeptical analysis, useful tips, and cybersecurity insights appeals to you, follow the show, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—what story made you nod, and which one made you say “humm”?Support the show
In Part 2 of this story, we pick up right where the alligator encounter left off — not with danger, but with the emotional aftershock that followed. My body was still shaking, adrenaline pumping, breath unsteady. I paddled straight toward my friend in a heightened state: frightened, confused, and trying to make sense of whether I had truly just kayaked over a mama alligator… or whether I had imagined the whole thing. And what happened next revealed something even more important than the alligator:the difference between safe people and unsafe people. A safe person — like my friend — meets your overwhelm with curiosity.“What did you see?”“How big was it?”“Are you okay?” Her calm voice, her steady presence, and her willingness to believe me allowed my nervous system to settle. That is co-regulation in action. That is emotional safety. That is what a healthy connection feels like. But if I had been with my ex-husband that day, the story would've played out very differently.My fear would've annoyed him.My excitement would've irritated him.My reality would've been talked over, corrected, or erased. I would've been told it was just a log.I would've doubted myself.I would've minimized my experience.And eventually, I would've convinced myself it never really happened. That's what unsafe people do: they erase your reality until you no longer trust yourself at all. Today's episode shines a light on the power of validation, the necessity of safe connection, the neuroscience behind co-regulation, and why survivors of covert narcissistic abuse learn to silence their own experiences. Because when someone finally believes you — truly believes you — it restores something deeper than the story.It restores you.

What's the difference between feeling unsafe and being unsafe?According to Gallup, about half of Americans see crime as being extremely or very serious. And there are a lot of very real threats out there to people's safety, but there's also a lot of fearful rhetoric that's more unfounded. While immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens, and trans people are unlikely to commit mass shootings, fear of these groups is being weaponized against them. So how can we disentangle being unsafe and feeling unsafe – and better protect ourselves and each other?

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
This episode is powered by The Seven Figure Shift 3-Day Workshop “You can't sustain overflow if your soul is still grieving your last expansion.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Overflow doesn't feel safe for everyone; and that's why so many 7-figure CEOs keep sabotaging it. In this unfiltered episode, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon cracks open the invisible emotional toll of hitting your next level. We're talking about growth guilt, generational conditioning, nervous system resistance, and the deeper reasons your business might be bleeding money, even when the revenue is flowing. If you've ever felt anxious after a big win, like the next shoe will drop or someone you love will resent your success, this conversation will feel like a spiritual intervention wrapped in strategy. This is money healing at a cellular level, anchored in nervous system regulation, success identity, and soul leadership. This is not an episode about how to make money. It's about how to keep it, and feel worthy as you do. Here's the truth: You don't just fear failure. You fear what success might cost you. The guilt of growth is real; and it's often rooted in unprocessed emotional residue that keeps your nervous system dysregulated around money.

It's a raw, real-time exploration of how unresolved trauma and spiritual misalignment can hijack your financial future. Dr. Darnyelle shares the emotional breakdown that followed her first 7-figure year, why she stopped celebrating wins, and how she healed the subconscious link between success and loss. This is your invitation to pause the hustle and examine the cost of your next level. If you're doing all the “right” things, but the overflow still triggers fear, guilt, or spiritual fatigue, you're not broken. But you do need new tools. Grab your journal and come behind the curtain of what it really looks like to hold millions without losing your peace, people, or purpose.

That's when I knew something deeper had to shift.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Susie had the money. She just didn't feel safe having it.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “This isn't a money problem. It's a soul leadership misalignment.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: When was the last time you sabotaged your own success—and why? What unresolved guilt or grief might still be tied to your biggest wins? What nervous system response do you feel when overflow shows up? Who are you afraid of leaving behind as you grow?

Comedian, writer and actress, Rosie Jones, brings her trademark honesty, humour, and heart to a conversation about difference, self-acceptance, and finding strength in vulnerability. She talks openly about what it means to feel out of place, the pressure to meet others' expectations, and how she's learned to stop comparing herself to anyone else's version of success.Rosie doesn't shy away from the hard stuff, she discusses facing negativity, choosing where to focus her energy, and the power of surrounding yourself with people who lift you up rather than drag you down. She also reflects on the importance of representation, using her voice to challenge stereotypes and show that no matter your background or circumstance, you can still thrive.This is an inspiring, funny, and deeply human conversation about embracing who you are, taking small steps forward, and finding joy and purpose along the way.Check out Rosie's tour “I Can't Tell What She's Saying”.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) The State of Connecticut charged Teresa Beatty $249 per day, every day, while she was in prison for a minor drug offense from 2000 to 2002—But she wouldn't discover this until 20 years later. When her mother died in 2020, the State of Connecticut filed a notice in probate court demanding approximately 35%—over $83,000—of Beatty's inheritance. And it was perfectly legal.

Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy. Gregory Copley analyzes China's rare earth monopoly, noting it was achieved through low pricing and unsafe practices but is now eroding as global suppliers ramp up production. He reviews current global conflicts, viewing the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford battle group near Venezuela as a test of brinkmanship, and citing Kyiv's admission of losses in Ukraine. Copley also argues that democracy is "dead," advocating for a return to defining the spirit of a social contract rather than relying on mutable laws.

If you're constantly planning, smoothing things over, doing the most in your relationship while low-key wondering “Why can't they just do more??” — this episode is for you.
What do you do when every conversation with a parent leaves you feeling erased, criticized, or shut down, but walking away feels like betrayal?In this raw and tender coaching session, we meet Suzanne, who's struggling to navigate contact with her mother: a woman who routinely gaslights her, shuts down difficult topics, and prioritizes her own emotional comfort over honest connection. Suzanne wants to be seen. She also wants to stay safe. And in her family, those two things feel mutually exclusive.We explore:•The heartbreak of being unseen by a parent you still long to connect with.•The nervous system impact of childhood emotional silencing, and why it still flares in adulthood.•How to say “I don't feel safe talking right now” without guilt.•What to do when someone turns your feelings into personal attacks.•And how to develop scripts that mirror instead of merge, so you can stay true to yourself in hard conversations.If you've ever felt trapped in a role that doesn't fit, or stuck in a pattern that leaves you numb, enraged, or ashamed, this one's for you.If you're looking for a high caliber small group where you can deepen your practice and really live into the principles of compassion, non-violence and relational presence, apply for The Mentorship Circle, which will begin November 2nd.

Have you ever noticed yourself pulling back right when things start going well? That's not laziness — it's self-sabotage. In this episode, we're breaking down the psychology behind why success can feel unsafe, the 4 fears that feed it, and the steps to finally break the cycle so you can stop getting in your own way.
Tens of thousands of trucks in New Zealand are fitted with unsafe brakes that could fail at anytime. That is according to a damning coroners report into the death of an Auckland worker nearly eight years ago. Graeme Rabbits was crushed to death in 2018 when the brakes failed on a telehandler and it rolled down the slope it was parked on and pinned him against a concrete mixer. His death is one of six known fatalities caused by vehicles with cardan shaft brakes since 2010. There are up to 70,000 vehicles with the same brakes in New Zealand. Now a Coroner is urging NZTA to do more to warn people about the inherent danger these brakes pose. Checkpoint's Louisa Cleave and Jimmy Ellingham filed this report.
Summary In this conversation, I discuss the critical need for rest and the societal pressures that make it difficult for women to slow down. I explore the connection between productivity and self-worth, and how the nervous system reacts when one attempts to take a break. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing bodily signals of fatigue and the emotional resistance that often accompanies the need for rest. Takeaways If you slow down, you may feel unsafe. Rest is often equated with falling behind. Your body communicates through fatigue and anxiety. Women often struggle to relax due to societal pressures. Anhedonia can signal a need for change. Recognizing the need for rest is crucial. Pushing through fatigue can lead to burnout. Understanding your nervous system is key to relaxation. Self-worth should not be tied to productivity. Taking breaks can enhance overall well-being.

What if your body—not your mind—was deciding how safe, calm, or stressed you feel?In this episode of The Men's Collective Podcast, therapist and Mind-Body Coach Travis Goodman, LMFT, breaks down the three organizing principles of Polyvagal Theory—a science-backed model by Dr. Stephen Porges that explains how your nervous system runs your daily life.You'll learn how to recognize your body's automatic states—ventral (safe and connected), sympathetic (mobilized and stressed), and dorsal (shutdown and numb)—and how to move toward regulation, calm, and connection.In this episode: What Hierarchy teaches us about emotional states and the “autonomic ladder” How Neuroception constantly scans for safety or threat without you realizing it Why Co-Regulation (connection) is the secret to true calm and healing A real-life example of how reaching out to safe relationships resets your nervous system Practical ways to notice, name, and navigate your stateIf you've ever wondered why you can't just “think” your way out of stress, this episode will help you finally understand the biology of safety—and how to work with it.

Most people spend their lives performing. Pretending to be who they think they should be — polished, composed, and never too much. But underneath, they feel like frauds. Because the parts of themselves they've hidden — the anger, the neediness, the shame — are still alive, whispering, “If they really knew you, they'd leave.” That's why being yourself feels unsafe. Every instinct screams that honesty will cost you love, success, and belonging. So you hide behind competence, humor, or charm. You keep the mask on. And maybe it even works — for a while. But here's the problem: when you protect yourself from rejection, you also block true connection. You start confusing safety with isolation. True happiness requires the opposite of hiding. It demands exposure — showing your real thoughts, your real feelings, your real self — even when it feels terrifying. That's why authenticity feels so frightening and triggers your inner resistance. It's also why it's the ONLY way forward if you want connection that actually lasts. In today's show, we'll dive deeper into the Authenticity Paradox. You'll discover why hiding your shadow doesn't' actually keep you safe (even if it feels like it), why you must have the courage to face your own demons (or you'll die sooner), and how to start integrating your shadow and showing up as your authentic self - even when it's scary because it always will be scary. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: Why authenticity exposes your deepest, darkest fear for the world to see (and why you must expose yourself if you want a fulfilling life) (2:23) The reason why both Nice Guys & Game Gurus never find long-term love and happiness (3:14) The counterintuitive reason behind why the “Authenticity Paradox” makes you instantly magnetic to the opposite sex, to leadership opportunities, and to a deeply fulfilling life (5:00) Two simple examples that show you the significant difference between being authentic (which builds attraction) and vulnerability dumping (which drains attraction) (6:15) How to be okay with the intense polarization that will happen as a natural result of being your authentic self (8:44) 3 examples of how protector parts inside you manifest in your behaviors (10:06) How leaning into your parts' fears paves the road to true, lasting connection (16:11) Why hiding your shadow imprisons you in endless isolation and keeps you from the connection your seeking (20:34) For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/ Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another?

In this soul-stirring episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly sits down with author, speaker, and transformational coach Tracy Litt, whose groundbreaking framework, The Choice Method, helps entrepreneurs bridge the gap between what they know they need to do and what they actually do. Kelly and Tracy dive deep into the neuroscience and spirituality behind decision-making, self-sabotage, and the power of consistency, and how your nervous system plays a bigger role in your results than you realize. If you've been feeling stuck, out of alignment, or like you've lost your spark — this episode will feel like both a wake-up call and a warm hug at the same time. You'll learn: How your nervous system decides whether you play big or stay stuck How to shift from victimhood to personal power and sovereignty The spiritual and scientific foundation behind The Choice Method This is an episode every leader, entrepreneur, and change-maker needs to hear — especially if you're ready to reconnect with your highest potential and reignite your joy. Timestamps: 03:30: Origin story: How the Choice Method was born — and its evolution from private IP to public offer. 07:00: The four neurobiological requirements for change 10:00: Nervous system primer: “Safe vs Unsafe” — why your nervous system resists unfamiliar success and creates sabotage. 13:00: How to settle the nervous system so your prefrontal cortex (decision-maker) returns. 23:00: Identity & the higher self: how to embody the future version of you and execute decisions from that identity. 25:30: Energetics & magnetism: frequency shift when you step into higher-choice leadership 27:30: Breaking cycles of victimhood: emotional addictions, radical responsibility, anger as fuel to exit powerlessness. 29:30: Why high performers are vulnerable when markets shift, and why the Choice Method supports sustainable scaling.

Live show! Thurs, Oct 23 at The Burren, Davis Square, Somerville, MassOctober is Domestic Violence Awareness month. We should be talking about domestic violence, and how to prevent it, all the time, to help others recognize what it is and how insidious that it can be. It is not just bruises and black eyes. Jennifer Martel's case is like so many other women who were tied to a bad relationship through a shared child. Few people seemed to know what Jennifer was really going through at home. There were many reasons why leaving was so difficult. The Murder of Jennifer Martel, Waltham, MassachusettsIt is like so many other women's stories who were trying to see a way out. It is like so many other stories where the victim is lost in the headlines of the case. What it is not like is how she was murdered by a very dangerous man who had been dangerous for a long time. He was someone she was and had been with for years. The man who was the son of a beloved voice of Red Sox Nation, Jerry Remy, the "RemDog." Fenway Park is like church around here. There is a lot of hero worship. Jennifer Martel was 27 when she was murdered. She had a plan for the next phase of her life, a next phase that did not include Jared Remy. Just two days before Jennifer was killed, Remy was arrested for slamming her head into a bathroom mirror. She called to report him — the audio from the 911 call says it all — and Remy was arrested and charged with assault and battery. Jennifer was granted an emergency restraining order that night, and she would be able to extend it the following day, Wednesday, August 14, at Remy's arraignment in Waltham District Court. However, Jennifer did not appear in court and the restraining order expired. Something that would prove to be a grave error on the prosecutors' part is that no one had the foresight to look at his background. No one checked priors. If they had, they would have seen a long history of violence against women. Instead, they sought no bail, and he was released on personal recognizance on an open assault and battery case.It is important to understand why Jennifer didn't attend that arraignment the day before she was stabbed to death in the presence of her 4-year-old and her next door neighbors. History is well documented as to why many women don't appear in abuse cases like this – for fear of retribution, more abuse, how they can support themselves and their children, the pleas of the partner, and, in Jennifer's case, from the Remys. Patty Martel said Jennifer heard from Remy's mother, Phoebe, who begged her not to file a complaint because it would ruin Remy's life. His life. Mrs. Remy, according to the Martels, said they would protect her. Maybe Mrs. Remy believed what she was saying, but her son's history of violence was crystal clear.National Domestic Violence Hotline | thehotline.org | Call 1.800.799.SAFE (7233)Jane Doe Inc | janedoe.org | Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic ViolenceCrime of the Truest Kind | Follow @crimeofthetruestkindOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.com Follow: @crimeofthetruestkind Support: patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkind Created, written, hosted by Anngelle Wood#MassachusettsTrueCrime #NewEngland #TrueCrime #Storytelling #CrimeHistory #Advocacy #Podcast #ColdCases #Unsolved #Missing #Society #AnngelleWood Hosted on Acast.
