//The Wire//2300Z December 2, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNITED KINGDOM OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES PLAN TO END TRIAL BY JURY IN MOST CASES. PRESIDENT TRUMP STATES THAT KINETIC AIRSTRIKES MAY BEGIN SOON IN VENEZUELA OR OTHER NATIONS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: This morning Justice Secretary David Lammy announced the previously mentioned plan involving the removal of the right to trial by jury, reversing 800 years of legal precedent throughout the nation. A new category of "Swift Courts" will be created, allowing for rapid verdicts to be issued for crimes where a guilty verdict would result in a sentence of less than three years imprisonment.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - President Trump stated that airstrikes within Venezuela might begin soon, and might not be contained to Venezuela itself. Per statements made by President Trump himself, the US will target narcotics traffickers in any nation that conducts such activities.Analyst Comment: The comments made during today's press conference were vague, which is to be expected due to the secrecy needed to ensure the success of the impending military operation. Nevertheless, this is probably as clear of an indication and warning as we're going to get regarding the shifting of the operation to including ground-based airstrikes. Probably the biggest revelation is that the comments made today confirm what has obviously been building for some time; the US is not necessarily interested in just Venezuela.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Around the United States winter weather conditions have arrived as significant snowfall was reported throughout the northeastern and mid-atlantic regions. Multiple traffic pileups were reported from Missouri to Connecticut, and a snowfall record was reported in Louisville overnight. States of Emergency have been reported in several states, which were not prepared for roughly a foot of snow.Every year the first wave of winter weather highlights gaps in personal preparedness in the form of calamity on the highways. As winter gets underway this year it would be wise to remember budgetary cutbacks which have reduced capabilities this season in many jurisdictions. For example, the village of Vernon, Wisconsin (a small municipality outside Milwaukee), approved a 47% budget reduction for the Public Works department earlier this year, so staffing delays and long wait times for road plowing have been reported. This is an important planning factor for many locations this year, as dwindling resources remain common in many small towns.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

The Potter Discussion: Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and the Wizarding World Fandom
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the old world of magic with the new one and what that means for the TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:10 Harry vs. Flamel. Nicholas Flamel is an old-world figure for sure. He has been fighting this fight for hundreds of years, and it is crazy to think that his path has lead here, to Harry. The glow of the story obscures just how important he is and how big a sacrifice he makes, so hopefully the TV will show us these important things.· 13:22 Horcruxes vs. Hogwarts classes. These two things are so incredibly different, they almost can't exist on the same plane. There isn't room in the story for both of these things to exist in the same place. That might be why as Harry's search for horcruxes start becoming important, classes fade into the background.· 19:41 The First War vs. the Second War. This in interesting because the Second War really isn't new. This is more of an old vs. older situation. Still, Harry learns a lot about himself with both of these and they are both still worth including.· 24:27 The Ministry. They have a ton of old traditions, and that is glazed over in Harry's trial because we are so worried about him getting expelled. We can't forget that the Ministry is an old institution and it has traditions and customs that represent the very oldest of the magical world.· 27:30 Lily and James vs. Petunia and Vernon. They've probably met, but we don't really have an on-screen contrast between them. When Harry says goodbye to the Dursleys at the beginning of the seventh book, it is a parallel of his own parents, like two situations unfolding at the same time.Having anything you want to hear or say?

This is first episode in a series called The Spirit-Era and Its Aftermaths. Across the next few installments of AEWCH, I'll be investigating the way the spiritual, technological, and occult flourishing at the turn of the 19th/20th century is affecting our lives to this day. The Spirit-Era was a time marked by spirits, of course. But also miracles, hucksters, paranormal investigators, and genuine spiritual teachers. There were seances and fakirs, performances of incredible feats in private and on stages both which were thought to be revelations of different worlds, or worlds that could be possible.The intelligentsia of the time might go to see spirits materialize in dark rooms. They might write novels inspired by meeting notorious occult figures. Or maybe they would decide to form societies to investigate the afterlife. Many of the Spirt-Era's most famous artists and writers found themselves inspired by and even joining occult orders. New occult organizations and forms - some with anarchist aspirations, others connecting to labor rights movements, still others taking fascist turns, - were rising and falling.Like in our own era, new technologies emerged and others became popularized. The telephone became more available, and so, later, did the car and motion picture with sound. But also there was the fortune cookie, bringing a sort of precogniostic levity to the everyday. These innovations marked changing experiences of time and space across the planet.Plagues, wars, sinking ships. It seemed like there was never a moment of rest. I'm sure you can relate.Two themes ran through the Spirit-Era: the shifting relationship of the spiritual and material, and the deep understanding that everything was changing, so anything might be possible.In these episodes, we won't just be trying to learn from history to avoid repeating it, but rather to deeply consider the Spirit-Era and conjure its best aspects.Because within the spectacle, there were many revelations to be had. Some of them we take for granted in our everyday lives, and forget they were handed to us by people who took the great risk or the absurd plunge into the era's spiritual possibility.We'll look at the ways paranormal investigations pushed on science, how esotericism informed advancing literature and performance. We'll even investigate whole world views with their own coherence, that developed at the time, and see why we can learn so much from them.And we'll look at why so many of these boundary-pushing advances are stigmatized today. One reason I'll mention now: The Spirit-Era is difficult for us because it isn't part of the past, but something beyond us. A future where we allow ourselves to think in ways that dissolve the material realm as we know it, and try to understand the forces - whether social, dialectical, economic, or spiritual - fully anew.The Spirit-Era reflects the past and the future through smoke and mirrors. Yes, the tools of illusionists and frauds. But amongst the trickery, the truth of light and surface is there. In the aftermaths of the Spirit-Era, we continue to use its insights and gestures to figure out what we think is real, what is solid, and where illumination comes from.Welcome to this series.On the first episode, I talk with ALICE VERNON, author of Ghosted: A History of Ghost Hunting, and Why We Keep Looking. The book is vast in scope, and considers the many emotional resonances we have with paranormal investigation, ghost-hunting, and why it is important to us. We start in the 1st century, and go all the way to AI in this wide-ranging conversation about the topic. But the Spirit-Era here is unavoidable. People grieving, hustling, debunking, and believing all surround the seance tables, inviting new presences, new technologies, and new methods of investigation.I'm so happy to present this series and episode.SUPPORT THE SHOW VIA PATREONBuy Ghosted: A History of Ghost Hunting, and Why We Keep Looking by Alice Vernon

Heather Vernon never expected to become an entrepreneur. Her goal after university was to become a teacher, through the Teach First graduate programme - two years of intense learning on the job, schooling disadvantaged children in low income communities. It taught her resilience and prompted a move into politics, initially at a local level, then a job with the Labour party, advising members of the then shadow cabinet. She tells Evan Davis why working at Westminster was initially terrifying and what encouraged her to set up a PR business with a friend. (Image: Heather Vernon Credit: Woburn Partners)

In her new book, Ghosted: A History of Ghost Hunting and Why We Keep Looking, Alice Vernon sets out to chase the one thing she isn't even sure exists—and discovers that the search for ghosts says more about the living than the dead. What begins as a skeptic's experiment becomes a haunting journey through centuries of belief. From candlelit Victorian séances to ghost hunts streamed on YouTube, she explores how our obsession with the afterlife has evolved—but never disappeared. Each new invention, from telegrams to EMF meters, becomes another way to reach across the void, to prove that love, grief, or even guilt can outlast death. As she moves deeper into Britain's most haunted places—churchyards, crumbling estates, and lonely moors—she begins to feel the same pull that's gripped believers for generations. Maybe the ghosts aren't what we think they are. Maybe they're reflections of everything we've lost… and everything we still hope to find. Part history, part investigation, Ghosted is a chilling, intimate exploration of why we keep trying to prove what we can't explain—and why our search for the dead may really be a search for meaning among the living. This is Part Two of our conversation. #Ghosted #AliceVernon #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHistory #GhostHunting #WhyWeBelieve #ScienceAndTheSupernatural #VictorianSpiritualism #HauntedBritain #TrueGhostStories #LifeAfterDeath #CulturalMystery Love real ghost stories?

On this week's Tall Boy Radio, hosts Gaz and Beans are honoured to welcome a titan of criminal investigation, Retired Lieutenant Commander Vernon Geberth, to delve deep into one of the most sprawling, intricate, and utterly frustrating cases he ever tackled. This is the unbelievable true story of "Operation Octopus," a fascinating chapter pulled directly from the pages of his essential book, The Godfather of Homicide.Get ready for a comprehensive breakdown of a case that began innocently enough but quickly metastasized into a terrifying, multi-layered criminal enterprise. We start at the supposed centre: a deadly, planned store robbery murder plot. Gaz and Beans press Vernon on how the immediate aftermath of that violent scene hinted at something much bigger, prompting his team to pull at a thread that quickly unravelled the tapestry of organised crime.Vernon shares the fascinating details of how that single planned robbery and murder exposed a massive operation involving the upper echelons of the Mafia. This wasn't just low-level thugs; this was a sophisticated ring dealing in multiple high-stakes crimes. Central to the investigation was a staggering amount of counterfeit money flooding the region—a clue that immediately brought the formidable resources of the Secret Service into the fray. Geberth details the critical, often tense, partnership with the federal agents tasked with tracing the origins and distribution of the funny money.Beyond the paper trail, the Octopus had its tentacles deep in drug trafficking. We explore the dangerous world of undercover operations Vernon's team had to execute, putting agents in genuine, life-threatening peril to infiltrate both the counterfeiting and narcotics distribution networks. Geberth gives listeners a rare look behind the scenes, discussing the immense logistical challenges of running parallel stings and the meticulous planning required to keep sources alive.But as with any great true-crime saga, the enemy wasn't just the Mob. Vernon pulls no punches when recounting the persistent, crippling interference from above. He details the specific challenges posed by incompetent supervisors and the internal bureaucracy that repeatedly threatened to pull the plug on the investigation. Hear the moments where the entire case hung by a thread, jeopardised not by a criminal act, but by incompetence from the guy that you report into. Gaz and Beans explore the mental toll this internal struggle took on the detectives trying to bring a major criminal operation down while simultaneously battling their own command structure.Operation Octopus is a gripping testament to relentless detective work, bureaucratic warfare, and the unwavering dedication required to dismantle a criminal empire. It's a classic Geberth case that proves the reality of homicide investigation is often far stranger, more frustrating, and more exhilarating than any fiction.

Elizabeth Vernon is a beekeeper-activist, herbalist, and founder of Queen Bees Farmacy, dedicated to bringing together the world of wild-crafted remedies, advocacy, and deep terrain insight.In this episode, we dive into the hidden dimensions of health and resistance — from how screen time is reshaping our bodies and nervous systems to the untested and unknown dangers of biologics. Elizabeth pulls no punches as we unpack how certain systems of “controlled opposition” (yes, we talk about RKF Jr., Elizabeth's experiences with him and his team, and what it means) muddy the waters of health freedom, and how reconnecting with nature's rhythms — bees, herbs, terrain, community — is the original rebellious medicine.Look beyond the surface and discover what really supports your body, mind, and environment in a world of distraction and distraction's design.

The Potter Discussion: Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and the Wizarding World Fandom
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss Harry's journey from the hut on the rock and his introduction into the wizarding world. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:19 Recap and opening with the hut on the rock. We should see a little bit of what the Dursleys think about this revelation. Petunia always wanted to hear this for her, so how does this show within her? Vernon is adamant and denies it, and Dudley has no idea what's happening.· 12:30 Hagrid and Harry's journey into the Muggle world. Hagrid enchants the boat to row them back to the mainland, and maybe we get a glimpse at the beautiful English countryside that represents the identity that has been revealed. In the Leaky Cauldron, Harry gets his first look at what it means to be Harry Potter in the wizarding world. He shakes hands and wonders what he got himself into.· 20:00 Diagon Alley! We aren't going to skip a single scene. The archway opens and he is faced with pure magic. Everything from the bank to the bookstore should be examined in detail. The conversation with Ollivader should remain unchanged because it's super important!· 26:40 The final scene is in the Leaky Cauldron. Harry and Hagrid are discussing the day, and Harry asks Hagrid why he is so famous. Hagrid tells Harry the backstory of Voldemort and his parents, and Harry finally begins to see the full story.Having anything you want to hear or say?

While George Washington is famous for his grand estate, Mt. Vernon, in Virginia, few may know he owned thousands of acres in what would become West Virginia. As an surveyor and a veteran of the French & Indian and Revolutionary wars, Washington collected large parcels in the river valleys of the colonial West and they became a part of the Kanawha Tracts.

The Potter Discussion: Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and the Wizarding World Fandom
Send us a textIn this episode we discuss what seeing a glimpse of affection for Harry from the Dursleys would do for the story. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:54 What is the 1% difference? It's that little moment where we see the Dursleys for real. It could be a simple look or a complete scene. No matter how it's delivered, we should see that just maybe, the Dursleys care about Harry just 1%.· 16:03 Does their relationship get better or worse over time? Petunia would see Harry and dislike what he represents: her family and her denial from Hogwarts. But she might grow to like him as he grows up, then hates him again as he becomes more like James. Vernon would follow her lead and dislike Harry as a baby, but would see the person behind that and like him in the end. But he would still seem cruel because he doesn't want to let those feelings out. Dudley sees Harry as competition from the beginning so he hates him, but begins to see Harry as an equal.· 24:15 This is a relationship for a more mature audience. The first films were for kids, so the Dursleys were seen as the mean family who made Harry's life terrible. But after twenty years of analysis, we see that there are more layers to their relationship. I want to see that nuance and see more of the layers that make 4 Privet Drive so special.Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.

From Wall Street to wealth creation, Vernon and Eric share how they're helping diverse developers bridge the gap between knowledge and capital.They unpack what it means to “be bankable,” why site control is often more valuable than capital itself, and how discipline—not speed—creates sustainable success.

Send us a textIn this episode, we design the second episode of the first season of our Tea Leaves series. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:48 Recap of Season 1, Episode 1· 3:55 We open with Vernon and Petunia finding Harry. They make the decision to keep them in, and I want to see what they were thinking when making that choice. Harry is their family, so they couldn't just turn him away, right? Perhaps Petunia has to tell Vernon more of her life story.· 10:06 Harry's childhood. We should spend a little time looking at his infancy, and moving into his schooling as a young kid. Perhaps there are strange happenings with the magical things surrounding him.· 17:42 Now, Harry is ten years old. This is where the film opens in the present day. It's best to have a clear line between the past and the present so there's no confusion between his muggle life and his wizard life. Dudley's birthday and the zoo scenes are super important, so we should keep them pretty close to how they appear in the books and films.· 25:55 The letters start arriving now, and Vernon has to nail the post flap shut. He is fighting the war against the letters from Hogwarts, a battle he loses. When the fireplace scene happens, Vernon decides to go far away, and they go to the hut on the rock. Hagrid breaks down the door just like he does in the films, and tells Harry, “Harry, you're a wizard.”Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.

A couple who hired house sitters discovered they were actually professional thieves. The city of Vernon, in southeast Los Angeles County, was named the most burglarized city in California by Safewise, while an apartment shooting in Sun Valley left three teenagers injured and the suspect remains at large. Officials continue to monitor the Palisades Fire, which has been smoldering for seven days—fires can persist underground for months, even under snow. A man shared a disturbing account of a ride with an Uber driver now accused of starting the blaze. The show wrapped with Gary & Shannon joining Tim Conway Jr. for a skit parodying a man using Ted Bundy–style tactics.

Chapter by Chapter continues with Order of the Phoenix Chapter 38: The Second War Begins. Tying up loose ends: Fudge immediately fumbles how the Ministry is handling the return of Voldemort. What could they have done differently? We're impressed by how Dumbledore got Umbridge out of the forest, but how exactly did he do it? And should Ron have responded to Umbridge's attack in the way that he did? Harry is looking for some Sirius comfort, and finds some in Hagrid and Luna. There's also one line from Harry that is extremely relatable, especially as we age: “Whenever he was in company he wanted to get away, and whenever he was alone he wanted company.” Nearly-Headless Nick offers Harry some disappointing information, but it has us wondering why wizards choose not to return as a ghost after they pass. The Order decides to greet Harry at King's Cross... but why haven't they been there for Harry's previous journeys to and from Hogwarts? MVP of the Week: Who had the most meaningful moment with Harry in this chapter?
