The “iPS New Year's 2026” broadcast, recorded on December 31, 2025, serves as both a retrospective of the “systemic fakery” of 2025 and a strategic roadmap for the “Off-World Stage” community in 2026. The host characterizes the current era as a “soft totalitarianism” where history is manufactured and performed for a “visually illiterate” public.2025 PSYOP Retrospective:The Drone Panic: A January “gullibility test” where mysterious sightings in New Jersey were dismissed as airplanes and the planet Venus.The Charlie Kirk “Death” Event: Analyzed as a staged psychological operation with “hoax indicators,” including the “death tent” at America Fest and the subsequent “necromancy” in evangelical churches.Psycho Stew vs. Raja Jackson: A “kayfabe” body slam event that was racialized by influencers to stoke tension.The Stabbing of Austin Metcalfe: Linked to the movie Sinners and described as an attempt to create a “white Trayvon Martin”.School Shooting Archetypes: A discussion on how shooters are now portrayed as “left-wing” or “satanic nazi trans witches” to target specific demographics.Dick Cheney's Death: Described as a “Viking funeral” coded with 9/11 references (e.g., dying on the anniversary of the One World Trade Tower opening).Media Theory and the “Meta Script”:Predictive Programming: The use of films like Oppenheimer, Fallout, and Dune to saturate the zeitgeist before real-world events.“Off-World Stage” Perspective: A framework independent of the “media duopoly” (mainstream and alternative) that seeks to deconstruct the “collective Truman Show”.Religion as Government: The view that mainstream religion is a “branch of government” used for “mind control” and to keep the “soul” compartmentalized from psychology.2026 Objectives:The Great Deconstruction: A planned project to create a 100-year timeline of staged history from 1926 to 2026.Publishing and Networking: Production of the iPS tabloid, short eBooks on world stage actors (like Elon Musk), and the expansion of PSYOP trading cards.Technological Shifts: Leveraging AI agents for “press releases” and the potential reboot of the parody cartoon “South Pole”.2026 Predictions:Expected “fake” events include nuclear/EMP threats, elite bunker narratives, blackouts, and a “fake alien invasion” connected to upcoming films.“My one resolution... for new year's eve is to no longer tolerate bad conspiracy theories that are actually mislabeled as even theories... it all comes down to religion.”“2026 is going to be fake AF. Every single psyop we are going to experience in the next year is already planned already scheduled it's on a program that we're not privy to...”“If you're scared, you lost. That's the game. If you're scared, you lost. ... Fear is the mind killer.”“They are not mad they are trained to believe not to know belief can be manipulated but knowledge is dangerous...”“We are fomenting a culture of disbelief on purpose. And believers, it's not that they're not welcome here, but they don't have a place here.”Understanding the “Off-World Stage” perspective is like learning to see the projector beam in a dark movie theater; once you stop focusing on the film's plot and notice the machine behind it, the “story” loses its power to frighten or control you.List of Topics5 Key Quotes

Dead Funny History: Emma of Normandy. Join historian Greg Jenner for a fast-paced, funny and fascinating journey through the life of Emma of Normandy - twice Queen of England, mother of kings, and the medieval Kris Jenner of royal politics.This episode of Dead Funny History is packed with jokes, sketches and sound effects that bring the past to life for families and Key Stage 2 learners. Emma's story is full of twists, betrayals and Viking invasions. Born in Normandy around 985 CE, she married King Aethelred the Unready at just 17, became queen, and had three children including future king Edward the Confessor.But when the Vikings invaded, Emma fled to France, only to return and marry the new Viking king, Cnut. That made her queen again, while Cnut was still married to someone else. Cue royal drama, competitive parenting, and a lot of people named Ælfgifu.Emma's life was a whirlwind of political alliances, family feuds and strategic marriages. She was exiled, had her treasures stolen, and saw her children fight for the throne. She even spread rumours to undermine her stepson Harold Harefoot, and helped her favourite son Harthacnut become king - only for him to dig up his half-brother's body and throw it in a swamp.Expect parodies, sketch comedy, and a quiz to test what you've learned. It's history with heart, humour and high production value. Perfect for curious kids, families, and fans of You're Dead To Me.Written by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, Athena Kugblenu and Dr Emma Nagouse Host: Greg Jenner Performers: Mali Ann Rees and John-Luke Roberts Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Associate Producer: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Audio Producer: Emma Weatherill Script Consultant: Professor Elizabeth Tyler Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Production Manager: Jo Kyle Sound Designer: Peregrine AndrewsA BBC Studios Production

Vi svarer på lytternes spørsmål om Europa, overgangsvinduet, de unge lovende og hva vi kan forvente av Viking i 2026.

This episode of the Fire Sprinkler Podcast is my conversation with Greg Ohnemus and Phil Schechinger from Viking! We discuss the new Viking VGS and review the fittings, discuss the development process, and the impact that being a complete manufacturer makes on the industry. Enjoy!

Matthew Coller turns the conversation back to Vikings talk in this hour. What should the team do at quarterback for next season? And where does Harrison Smith rank in Purple lore? After that, he goes through some of the more intriguing games of the NFL weekend.

The ocean doesn't care about your plan, and that's exactly why we love it. We invited part of the Taylor Jean crew aboard the show to share how a handful of friends—bankers, builders, and tinkerers—built one of the most respected teams on the offshore tournament circuit. The story starts with a seasick freshwater angler who fell in love under a sky full of stars 80 miles out, and it unfolds into a masterclass on preparation, judgment, and trust when the seas get sporty.We dig into the craft behind the glamour: why some captains believe certain hulls “raise fish,” how swapping to a Viking changed hookup rates with the same crew and tactics, and what it takes to rig for success when a nicked leader can cost six figures. Blaine walks us through the pre-season grind—thousands of hooks, fresh line on every rod, backup everything—and the game-day calls that make or break an eight-hour window. Jay connects the dots between life skills and fishing skills: communication, composure, and the discipline to do the boring work so the exciting moments go your way.Then the ocean tests the plan. A rogue wave breaks over the house, the cockpit floods, a rod disappears, and the call is to head in—until a blue marlin eats and forces the team to execute in chaos. They finish the fight, release cleanly after lines out, and live to fish the next day. Along the way, we talk release-first ethics, guest anglers, and the traditions that stitch a team together, from first-billfish jumps to prank wars on rival boats. COVID-era adjustments—dinners delivered to the dock, fewer tents, more focus—sharpened their edge and reminded them why they chase fish in the first place.If you're curious about offshore sport fishing, tournament strategy, and the strange alchemy of passion plus preparation, this conversation puts you right in the cockpit. Hear about wildlife encounters like a giant loggerhead and the famed Dolphin 56, learn why weather windows dictate 120-mile runs, and see how camaraderie turns pressure into performance. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves the water, and leave a review telling us your favorite moment—we read them all and it helps more anglers find the show.Support the showElsa's AMAZON STORE Elsa's FAITH & FREEDOM MERCH STORE Elsa's BOOKSElsa Kurt: You may know her for her uncanny, viral Kamala Harris impressions & conservative comedy skits, but she's also a lifelong Patriot & longtime Police Wife.

In 1976, a Viking orbiter took a polarizing picture of the Cydonia region of Mars: what looked like a giant human face. But as we discussed in Part One, the Face wasn't the only unique feature. Both the Cydonia and Elysium regions appear to have pyramids as well. Tonight we talk about who might have built these pyramids and what might have destroyed their civilization.

Imagine Scotland locked in winter's grip: snow whispering across cobbled streets, hearth fires glowing against the dark, families drawn close for warmth. While much of the world fixes its gaze on Christmas Day, Scotland's true winter soul once beat loudest on another night entirely — Hogmanay, New Year's Eve. Ancient, fierce, and alive with ritual, Hogmanay was not simply a celebration. It was survival, identity, and hope rolled into one blazing night. No one knows exactly where the word Hogmanay comes from — perhaps Old French, perhaps Norse, echoes of Yule carried on northern winds. Its origins hardly mattered. The Scots claimed it and it has flourished ever since. In 1560, the Scottish Reformation reshaped the nation. The newly formed Presbyterian Kirk condemned Christmas as a "Popish" feast, and by 1640 Parliament had banned it outright. December 25th became an ordinary working day. For generations, there were no Christmas trees, no carols, no gifts — only cold labour and dark skies. But celebration did not disappear. It moved - to the New Year. Hogmanay became Scotland's great release — a night of fire, song, and superstition when the year itself could be cleansed and reborn. Homes were "redded": floors swept, ashes cleared, debts settled. Only a clean house could welcome a clean future. As midnight approached, the world seemed to hold its breath. Then came first-footing. The first person to cross a threshold after midnight would shape a household's fortune for the year ahead. It had to be a tall, dark-haired visitor — a lingering memory of blond hair Viking terror — carrying gifts heavy with meaning: coal for warmth, bread or black bun for food, salt for flavour, a coin for prosperity, and whisky for cheer. Doors opened. Glasses filled. Neighbours moved from house to house, laughter growing louder as night blurred into morning. Across the Highlands and islands, fire took centre stage. Ancient pagan echoes flared to life as flaming rituals lit the darkness, burning away evil and calling back the sun. Nowhere is this more vivid than Stonehaven, where huge blazing fireballs are swung through the streets by locals - a spectacle of raw power and communal joy that has endured for centuries. Today, Hogmanay has burst onto the world stage. Edinburgh ignites with torchlight processions, roaring street parties, and fireworks crowning the castle sky. Visitors from every corner of the globe feel it — the pulse of something older than the city itself. And yet, beneath the spectacle, the heart remains unchanged. At midnight, hands link. Voices rise. Auld Lang Syne carries across streets, hills, and glens, a song of memory, friendship, and shared humanity. The old year is released. The new one welcomed with thunderous cheers. In Scotland, Hogmanay is more than celebration. It is defiance — a promise that even in the deepest winter, fire will burn, songs will be sung, whisky will warm the blood, and hope will return. It is the past roaring into the present, daring the darkness to linger. So if you ever stand on Scottish soil as the year turns, wrap up against the cold, learn the words of Auld Lang Syn, raise a glass — and step into a night where history, community, and joy collide in one unforgettable moment.

The Arctic is often associated with snow, ice, and tales of Santa Claus and his elves. But what if stories of Arctic elves aren't just Christmas folklore? From ancient Norse sagas to modern-day encounters, the Arctic has a surprising history of little people—beings described as small, elusive, and mysterious. In our Elf Sightings in the Arctic Christmas special, we explore historical accounts, scientific discoveries, and eyewitness testimonies that blur the line between legend and reality.Our journey begins with the Viking sagas of the 13th century, recounting events from around the year 1000. According to these sagas, Leif Erikson and his crew, after being blown off course, landed in Vinland—believed by some to be present-day Baffin Island. The Norse explorers documented encounters with people they called Skraelings, describing them as short, with tangled hair and broad faces. While historians have long assumed these were the ancestors of the Inuit, a 2008 study suggested the term Skraeling might be derived from an old Norse word for pygmy. If true, the Vikings may have believed they'd found the legendary dwarves described in ancient Greek myths—an association made even more compelling by a 1569 map labeling the North Pole as the home of pygmies, just four feet tall.The Arctic mystery deepens with the 1631 expedition of Captain Luke Foxe. While navigating the Northwest Passage, Foxe and his crew came ashore on Southampton Island. There, they discovered a strange above-ground cemetery filled with tiny coffins. The bodies inside were adult-sized but no more than four feet long, with miniature bows, arrows, and bone lances placed alongside them. Foxe, unnerved by the discovery, wrote in his journal, "God send me better adventures than these." To this day, the identity of those tiny people remains unknown.Fast forward to 1911, when Russian explorer Captain Yvolnoff led a scientific expedition into the Arctic. According to a newspaper article published in 1930, the team discovered small human footprints in the snow. Following the tracks, they found a burrow from which a tiny man emerged. He stood roughly three and a half feet tall, with an angular head and large ears. Soon, two dozen others followed, all dressed in fine animal-skin clothing. The group communicated in an unfamiliar language and lived by catching fish with their bare hands—eating only the backs and discarding the rest.Inuit oral tradition has long spoken of these tiny beings. The Inuit call them Inuaguliks or Inuarutligak—legendary dwarves who live in underground burrows, wear two sets of clothes for different tasks, and have the ability to shapeshift into animals like seals or hares. Inuit elders say these little people are playful tricksters, known to tease hunters and travel incredible distances in impossibly short amounts of time.Perhaps the most recent encounter occurred in 2017, when Anthony Roche visited his girlfriend's family cabin near Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. While napping, Roche and his girlfriend woke to the sound of footsteps on the deck. The door opened, and standing in the doorway was a tiny human figure, no taller than three feet, dressed in a ragged orange coat and caribou-skin pants. The being quickly vanished, leaving the couple bewildered. When they shared the story with their family, they were told they'd been visited by an Inuagulik.So, are these Arctic elves simply the product of myths passed down through generations? Or are these sightings evidence of something more extraordinary? From ancient Viking records to modern-day encounters, the mystery of Arctic elves endures.Join us for our festive Christmas special as we unwrap the mystery of Elf Sightings in the Arctic in our latest episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, available now on Spotify and YouTube.

In The Saga of the Earls of Orkney (Birlinn, 2025), Professor Judith Jesch presents a fascinating history of the Earldom of Orkney, which was established in the Viking Age, records the adventures, feuds and battles of powerful Norsemen during its first three centuries. The medieval earls of Orkney owed allegiance to the kings of Norway but their influence ranged from Britain and Ireland to Sweden and Russia, and they travelled as far as Narbonne, Crete and Jerusalem. Advised by bishops and formidable women, they and their henchmen jockeyed for power with each other and with neighbouring rulers in Scotland, often with murderous outcomes. In between the high politics and violence, the world of the earls was one of piety, poetry and feasting. The Saga also provides rare glimpses of culture and everyday life in northern Scotland when it was central to the Viking diaspora. Set in a recognisable landscape, it mentions features, sites and even buildings that can still be seen today. This new translation of the manuscripts of the Saga uses an innovative approach to presenting medieval sources to non-specialist audiences, highlighting textual variations that affect its interpretation. It also reflects saga style and language more closely than previous translations and is ideal for both research and reading aloud. This is an essential, detailed and up-to-date resource for academics and general readers who wish to know more about Viking and Norse Scotland. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a textThis week on Hey You Guys, we dive down the chimney into Violent Night (2022) — the gloriously unhinged Christmas action flick where David Harbour proves he was born to play a battle‑weary, Viking‑blooded Santa Claus. We talk booby traps that would make Home Alone's Kevin McCallister proud (and slightly terrified), a sleigh-load of festive carnage, and why Harbour's grumpy, hammer‑swinging Saint Nick is the gift that keeps on giving.We also get into the film's weaker links: John Leguizamo and his band of baddies, who never quite match the energy of their mythic opponent, and the terminally irritating wealthy family Santa is forced to save — a group so unlikeable you almost start rooting for the villains.It's messy, it's merry, it's miraculously fun. Grab your milk, cookies, and improvised weapons; this is one Christmas episode you won't forget.

To be fair, the Vikings attacked Paris several times, but it's the major sieges that get remembered -- the one in 845, when they invaded Paris on Easter Sunday, got bought off with a fairly large ransom, and then the one that started in 885 and ended in 886, after nearly a year of a siege wherein the Vikings,  branching out from their usual plundering, used catapults and battering rams and other such non-Viking military paraphernalia, in an attempt to invade the city again. They were doing this on and off, though, and finally the surviving Vikings that hadn't gone off to sack other Frankish towns  dragged their longboats over to another river and went elsewhere. So the Franks had won, though the Vikings had managed to destroy one of the bridges and much of the surrounding countryside, and later one of their leaders, Rollo, would swear allegiance to Charles the Simple of France and become the first Norman, in what became Normandy. Michelle, naturally, found an epic poem written by a monk who was in Paris during that last siege, a poem modelled on Virgil, which contained so many difficult and impressive words that monks would pass it around for decades, to be consulted when they wanted to sound really intelligent. (Hint: Greek sounds fancier than Latin.)

The Viking attack on the monastery at Lindisfarne, a remote tidal island in North East England, sent psychological and cultural shockwaves through the history. It's a story of blood and terror, but there's more subtlety to it as well, as Maddy and Anthony learn today with returning guest Dr Eleanor Barraclough. Edited by Tim Arstall.

In 1976, a Viking orbiter took a polarizing picture of the Cydonia region of Mars: what looked like a giant human face. What followed was a bizarre series of cover-ups and lies aimed at discounting the discovery. But the Face wasn't the only unique feature on Cydonia. Join us tonight as we discuss the Face, the Cydonia Pyramids, and the Elysium pyramids. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alternatively-formerly-conspiracy-pilled--6248227/support.Follow our new Bible Study Channel - No Wrong Questions on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/@NoWrongQuestionsSupport the show, access all of our episodes ad free, and get bonus OVERDOSE episodes on LOCALS - https://alternatively.locals.comMERCH - https://conspiracypilled.com/collections/all Join the DISCORD - https://discord.gg/c8Acuz7vC9 Give this podcast a 5 Star Review - https://ratethispodcast.com/conspiracypilled Middleborne Arms – https://middlebornearms.comBecause swords are awesome!North Arrow Coffee- https://northarrowcoffee.co Use code CONSPIRACY10 to get 10% off your order! The Show — @_Alternatively on XAbby — @abbythelibb_ on X and InstagramLiz — @adelethelaptop on XJon — @Kn0tfersail on X

My mother has done genealogy for decades and has traced our family tree centuries back with some amazing connections including William the Conquerer, Rollo the Viking, Amelia Earhart and the really tragic and creepy side with Jim Jones wife, Marceline Jones.

Long before Dickens penned A Christmas Carol, our ancestors gathered around midwinter fires to tell tales of spirits and monsters lurking in the darkness. Tonight, we explore why Christmas and ghost stories have been intertwined for thousands of years — then share true accounts that prove the tradition is very much alive. #HolidayHorrorsIN THIS EPISODE: Earlier this month I shared some true reports of people seeing Kris Kringle – or what appeared to be Kris Kringle – in real life. But there are many more of those strange sightings to share! (More Real Santa Sightings) *** Christmas has been celebrated for centuries, and gift-giving has been around in America since well before the Civil War. But how we celebrate and what we give changes depending on the time. We'll take a look at what Christmas was like for American pioneers in the 1800s. (Christmas in The Old West) *** At a Christmas party the revelers heard a horrifying scream from outside. They rushed out to hear the screams were coming from the sky, at least above the rooftops. But how could that be? It was then that they learned Oliver Lerch had disappeared – never to be seen again. (The Christmas Disappearance of Oliver Lerch) *** Nothing says Christmas like a poisonous weed! Well… you explain mistletoe! We'll look at why we're supposed to kiss under this deadly plant during the holidays.

In this episode of Truth and Shadow, host BT delves into the depths of Norse mythology, exploring the concept of Naglfar, the ship of the dead, and the spiritual implications of necromancy. He discusses the fear of the dead returning, the role of seeresses, and the consequences of disturbing burial practices. The conversation draws parallels between Norse beliefs and biblical themes, ultimately leading to a reflection on the choices between fear and redemption in the face of spiritual darkness.

After adventuring through his Viking homeland of Denmark, Ejler Hjorth-Westh returned to Northern California with a backpack full of interesting stories.One of those stories chimed with Robin like a cowbell in a cement mixer. During his travels, Ejler tasted the finest artisanal salt of a maker in Denmark... and was left underwhelmed. Which begs the question: If Pacific sea salt really is better, then why? In this episode, Ejler takes Robin on a mission to hunt down (and taste) what he considers the best, punchiest salt in the whole wide world. This is of course accompanied by multiple wilderness observations and scat commentary. A big thank you to Ejler for the usual witty banter and world-beating salt.You can now follow Ejler's fledgling account on Instagram-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

Um dos vikings mais temidos da Idade Média foi Erik, o Vermelho.Famoso por seu temperamento explosivo, Erik cresceu em uma sociedade moldada pela violência. Afinal, na Europa medieval, os vikings eram chamados de “terror do norte”.⚔️ Foram eles que saquearam mosteiros na Inglaterra, atacaram cidades na França, navegaram pelos rios da Rússia, sitiaram Paris e chegaram até o norte da África, destruindo emirados na região da atual Tunísia e Marrocos.Em todo caso, os vikings não eram só invasores. Na verdade, a maioria deles nunca saiu de suas fazendas, vivendo como simples camponeses medievais durante toda a vida.

Star Tribune sports columnist Chip Scoggins joins Chad to talk about a good performance from JJ McCarthy and the Vikings in Dallas last night and a huge trade involving the Wild over the weekend bringing defenseman Quinn Hughes to Minnesota.

Send us a textWe're back after a week off, and the boys kick things off by catching up on Thanksgiving, football misery, and why Steelers fans were booing during “Renegade.” We break down the loss to the Bills, the bounce-back win over the Ravens, Tomlin addressing the “Fire Tomlin!” chants. Then it's on to this week's matchup with the Dolphins before diving head-first into a brand-new batch of Pittsburgh Scanner insanity—featuring a cone-headed pedestrian, a mailman menaced by a raccoon, and a full-blown liquor-store raccoon blackout.From there we roll into Corndick of the Week: Kim K's low-activity brain scan, Tokyo's smart toilets that forgot how to flush, Ric Flair accusing Hulk Hogan of dying from street drugs, Oxford naming “rage bait” the term of the year, and Tara Reid claiming she was drugged after a rough night at a hotel bar. Then, in Brother in Arms, we cover everything from the world's biggest fossilized Viking turd to the oldest “your mom” joke, Dick Van Dyke turning 100, and one Texas man who celebrated his divorce with giant glitter signs on his lawn.After a quick break we hit Gear Grinders, then wrap it up with “What Would Greenfield Do?”—from Black Friday war stories to the drinking games everyone should know.Check out our upcoming events, social media, and merch sale at the link below ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/GFP Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media ⁠https://www.lanemediapgh.com/

Dan Barreiro opens the show discussing the speculation that Joe Burrow may be on the move from the Bengals eventually after some comments he made this week got people thinking...could the Vikings be a potential landing spot? Our buddy Sean Salisbury makes his weekly appearance to educate us on what the heck "pure progression" is for a quarterback and why JJ McCarthy played better against Washington.

The 2025 International Mars Society Convention convened at the University of Southern California this October for three days of passionate discussion about humanity’s future on the red planet. Speakers explored science, policy, technology, AI, synthetic biology, and the long-term path toward becoming a multi-planet species. In this episode, Mat Kaplan, senior communications adviser at The Planetary Society, shares his conversations with speakers and guests at the Convention. We hear from Robert Zubrin, founder of The Mars Society, who delivered a fiery call to protect NASA’s science programs in the face of unprecedented budget cuts. Humphrey “Hoppy” Price, Chief Engineer for NASA’s Robotic Mars Exploration Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, updates us on the future of Mars Sample Return and new mission architectures. Keynote speaker Dex Hunter-Torricke, a longtime communications leader for SpaceX, Meta, and other major tech organizations, reflects on AI’s promise and peril, and why Mars remains a beacon of hope for humanity’s future. Biologist and technologist Tiffany Vora, vice president for innovation partnerships at Explore Mars, and Erika DeBenedictis, biologist and founder of Pioneer Labs, reveal breakthroughs in synthetic biology and engineered microbes that could help future Martians survive. Steve Benner, chemist and founder of the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution (FfAME), revisits the Viking lander experiments and makes a provocative case that we may have found Martian life nearly 50 years ago. Architect Melodie Yashar, CEO of AENARA and a pioneer in 3D-printed habitat research, shares progress in additive construction on Earth and Mars. James Burk, executive director of The Mars Society, discusses advocacy, analog research stations, and the organization’s expanding international footprint. Finally, we meet Sasha, a 13-year-old presenter whose enthusiasm offers a bright glimpse of the next generation of explorers. We wrap up the show with What’s Up with Bruce Betts, chief scientist at The Planetary Society, with a discussion of perchlorates in the Martian soil.
