Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm thrilled to have back on the show for a second time: MK ULTRA and Project Stargate survivor and whistleblower, targeted individual, filmmaker, podcaster, musician, athlete and former Virginia Tech all-American running back, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and hometown hero from the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA: Tommy Edwards aka: Touchdown Tommy!A little bit about Tommy if you are new here, if you missed his debut on ‘The Imagination', or if you need a quick recap: Born in February 1974 in Radford, Virginia - a historic town cradled by one of the world's oldest rivers - Tommy entered a world shadowed by grief yet illuminated by legacy. His father, Ken Edwards, a Virginia Tech Hall of Famer who wore jersey #33 and was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, carried the weight of family tragedies that shaped a dynasty of determination. Tommy, inheriting that same number and spirit, would become a beacon for thousands.As a boy, Tommy faced challenges - dyslexia, feeling like an outsider, family struggles - but he discovered fire on the field. At Radford High School, he exploded as a consensus All-American running back and first-team All-State linebacker. In his junior and senior years alone, he rushed for nearly 4,000 yards and scored an astonishing 57 touchdowns - a record that still echoes through the valleys. Recruited by powerhouses, he chose Virginia Tech in 1992, following his father's footsteps.In 1993, as a redshirt freshman, Touchdown Tommy burst onto the national stage. He scored 10 touchdowns (including four in a single game against Pittsburgh), led the nation in scoring for six weeks, and helped propel the Hokies to a top-15 finish and a bowl victory. He and his father became the first father-son duo in NCAA history to score rushing touchdowns in bowl games - a legacy of grit and glory. Headlines screamed his name; fans chanted "Touchdown Tommy"; the program ascended from mediocrity to dominance, setting the foundation for future championships.Tommy's story deepened into a profound journey of awakening. Repressed memories surfaced of childhood encounters with Project Stargate, MK ULTRA, and lifelong targeting as a gifted "star child." He endured gangstalking, electronic harassment, false hospitalizations, and a terrifying SWAT standoff - yet he emerged stronger, speaking truth against corruption, exploitation in sports, and hidden programs. Diagnosed with advanced CTE symptoms (brain scans showing severe damage that should have left him institutionalized), he battles daily with severe symptomology, but his spirit remains unshakeable. CONNECT WITH TOMMY:YouTube: @tommyedwards7062Twitter: https://twitter.com/TommyEdwardsTo1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/touchdowntommyedwards/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tommytouchdowntommyedwardsSnapchat: t_edwards7802Cashapp: $DrGonzobingbongCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVESupport the show

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds.

Michael McKee was a vascular surgeon trained at Ohio State, Virginia Tech, and the University of Maryland. He held medical licenses in multiple states. He worked at respected surgical practices. And according to two separate lawsuits filed in Nevada, he allegedly left destruction in his wake—then vanished before anyone could make him answer for it.The first lawsuit claims McKee's team left over eight inches of catheter inside a patient's body during a 2023 procedure, requiring emergency surgery. The complaint alleges the defendants concealed what happened and failed to provide truthful medical records. The second lawsuit is federal—a civil rights case claiming McKee sat on a prison medical panel and deliberately delayed an inmate's care until the man suffered permanent injury, including the loss of a testicle.McKee denies the federal allegations. In the state case, no attorney has even appeared on his behalf. And that's because when lawyers came looking for him, Michael McKee had already disappeared. Process servers documented fake addresses, a fax number instead of a phone, and colleagues who said he simply vanished. A judge had to grant permission to serve him by newspaper publication—a rare last resort.Six months after his Nevada medical license expired, McKee allegedly drove from Illinois to Ohio and shot his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe to death in their home. Their two young children were inside. He's been charged with aggravated murder and has indicated he'll plead not guilty.This is the story of a surgeon who couldn't be found—until he was arrested for double homicide.#HiddenKillers #MichaelMcKee #TepeFamily #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimePodcast #MedicalMalpractice #DomesticViolenceAwareness #JusticeForMoniqueJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 76-74 loss to Virginia Tech on Wednesday night. Syracuse's season and Adrian Autry's seat have hit a boiling point after two bad losses for the Orange that dropped them to 12-7 (3-3).  Fans are fed up. There were audible boos and chants to fire the coach in a sparsely-attended JMA Dome on Wednesday night.  Autry was visibly frustrated in his press conference, dropping an F bomb just 30 seconds in. Players were despondent in the locker room.  Axe discusses how the conversation going forward will be primarily about Autry's job (as if it hasn't been already) and every loss going forward will only compound that situation.  Axe played two clips from Autry in asking why SU has lost the second-half so often this season and what his message to a frustrated fan base is about how he will lead Syracuse forward.  The conversation on Syracuse Sports and our live Syracuse basketball postgame shows is always shaped by terrific insight from Syracuse Sports Insiders.  Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!  Sign up at joinsubtext.com/syracusesports to get your voice heard on the SU football postgame show and have direct text message access to Brent Axe anytime.

How can we live and enjoy a better life? Harmony Harvest Farm began with a lofty dream in 2011 and a vision of helping people to live and experience a better life through fresh flowers. Jessica Hall of Harmony Harvest Farm and Flower Genius joined Mary, Jeff, and Eric for a conversation about the farm business's vision, mission, values, and history.Jessica owns and operates the farm business with her mom and sister in Weyers Cave, Virginia. Jessica and her family believe Virginia-grown and American-grown flowers should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. To fulfill this vision and mission, they built up soil health and nourished their flowers from the start, while being mindful of good land management, soil erosion, irrigation needs, and bed layout to fit the topography. Jessica emphasizes that a sustainable business that lives its values needs a complete toolbox with the right tools at the right time for the right application. For Jessica and Harmony Harvest Farm, the toolbox includes a strong, growing network of personal and business mentors. To learn about their heirloom chrysanthemums, plan a pick-your-own flower trip, experience a virtual mum summit and on-farm educational events, or order a floral bouquet, please visit Harmony Harvest Farm's website. We can all be 4 The Soil, for the future! Here is how with four principles:1) Keep the soil covered -- with living plants and residue. Cover crops are our friends and allies; avoid leaving soil bare.2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage as much as possible in your field or garden.3) Maximize living roots -- for the longest time to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil.4) Energize with diversity -- aboveground and belowground with high-quality food for soil and plants, and integration of livestock on cropland. If you are interested in art and framing the 4 The Soil posters for your office or home, the 16” by 20” posters are available for purchase and printing as single posters or a set of five posters.If you have questions about soil and water conservation practices, natural resource concerns, and soil health principles and practices to restore the life in your soil, call or visit a USDA Service Center, a Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District office, or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office.  4 the Soil: A Conversation is made possible with funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The Agua Fund.

Thanks for making this show possible!)✖️✖️✖️What two things do most mass shooters, terrorists, or violent extremists have in common? Most of us know the first: they are almost always men or boys. But the second? They are almost always virulent misogynists, homophobes, or transphobes—even if they are also motivated by racism, antisemitism, or xenophobia. The antigovernment militiamen charged with plotting to kidnap and execute Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer used language saturated with misogyny, with one telling an FBI informant, “Just grab the bitch.” The men who killed scores at Virginia Tech, the Pulse nightclub, and a Maryland newsroom all had prior reports of stalking, domestic violence, or harassment of women. And in dozens of other incidents—from North America to Norway to New Zealand—an increasing number of misogynist incel (involuntary celibate) and male supremacist attackers have explicitly targeted and killed women, blaming feminism or sexual frustration with women as motivation for their attacks.Yet, despite all evidence, the bright red thread of misogyny running through these attacks is barely acknowledged by the media or even experts—and this failing leaves us powerless to stop the violence. In Man Up, Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a leading expert on extremism, addresses this crucial oversight head-on, revealing how an epidemic of misogyny—both online and off—and a patriarchal backlash are driving an exponential rise in mass and far-right violence. She also offers essential strategies that all of us—including parents, teachers, and counselors—can use to fight the rising tide of violence, beginning with recognizing the misogyny that pervades our everyday lives.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

A Local Returns to Serve Her Community The Northern Shenandoah Valley welcomes a familiar face to its agricultural community. Cynthia Fairbanks, a Clarke County native who grew up on her family's farm in Berryville, has returned home to serve as the new agricultural extension agent based in Warren County. Moreover, her role extends across the entire five-county region, filling a critical position that has remained vacant since the passing of Corey Childs. On her very first day, Cynthia joins host Janet Michael and fellow agent Karen Poff on The Valley Today to introduce herself to the community. Despite having been on the job for less than eight hours, she radiates enthusiasm for the work ahead. From 4-H Member to Extension Professional Cynthia's journey to this position began in her own backyard. Growing up, she actively participated in 4-H and FFA, showing steers, goats, and pigs while her family operated a small cow-calf operation. Additionally, she raised meat goats throughout high school to sell. This early passion for livestock led her to Virginia Tech, where she initially pursued dairy science. However, she soon discovered that her interests lay more in the business side of agriculture than the science side. Consequently, she transitioned to agricultural economics, ultimately earning both her bachelor's and master's degrees in the field. "I really enjoyed the business side of education more than the science side," Cynthia explains during the conversation. The Internship That Changed Everything During her undergraduate years, Cynthia interned with the Frederick County Extension Office for two summers. This experience proved transformative. She worked alongside various agents, including Karen, gaining exposure to everything from financial programming to master gardener initiatives. "I was not aware of all the different opportunities while I was in 4-H myself," Cynthia admits. "It truly was a learning curve getting to see all of the different opportunities." That internship solidified her career path. When the Warren County position opened, she didn't hesitate. In fact, she and her fiancé moved from Bedford County, putting a new house under contract in just four days. Filling a Critical Gap Cynthia brings something unique to the table: expertise in agricultural economics. As Karen points out, the region hasn't had a farm business management specialist since Bill Whittle retired. While Cynthia serves primarily as an animal science agent, her current knowledge of agricultural economics addresses a significant need in the farming community. Furthermore, her master's work focused on incorporating data into farming practices. Her final project involved forecasting Virginia corn prices over five years in relation to climate change. This technical expertise, combined with her coding skills, positions her to help farmers make data-driven decisions about their operations. "Being able to take previous data and kind of forecast what that's gonna look like" represents just one of the valuable services she can provide, Cynthia notes. Building Relationships and Assessing Needs Rather than immediately launching new programs, Cynthia plans to spend her first year listening. She intends to attend events, shadow other agents like Elizabeth Baldwin in Page County, and most importantly, survey the community to understand what farmers and producers actually need. "I don't wanna spend a lot of time on something that really isn't going to be quite effective to my audience in this area," she explained. "I wanna be as effective as possible by really getting the resources directly from the people that I'm going to be helping." Nevertheless, she's already brainstorming ideas. During her first day, she discussed implementing an embryology program with the local 4-H agent, drawing on her recent experience hatching chicks. The Advantage of Local Roots Being from the area gives Cynthia a distinct advantage. She already has established relationships throughout the five counties she serves. This familiarity with the region's agricultural landscape will help her hit the ground running. "There's a lot of perks with that," Cynthia acknowledged. "Getting to already have some relationships developed in these five counties that I'll be serving... will really help with this position." Janet emphasizes another benefit: "It's going to be great that you came into this, not necessarily knowing all of the extension things, so you're gonna be in a much better position to be explaining to people, oh no, but we also do this." Training and Professional Development Despite her impressive credentials, Cynthia faces a steep learning curve. In March, she'll attend a two-day agricultural agent onboarding at Virginia Tech, where she'll meet her cohort of new agents. Additionally, she'll participate in bimonthly training sessions at various agricultural research and extension centers across Virginia. These training opportunities excite Karen, who noted that agents get to visit facilities specializing in everything from fruit research to seafood production. "When you're in school, it's a lot of book work and not as much getting to see, touch, feel, and taste what practical applications are like," she observed. Continuing Essential Programs While Cynthia develops new initiatives, she'll also help maintain existing programs. These include pesticide recertification courses and spring drinking water clinics. Furthermore, she'll assist with general agricultural questions, even filling in for master gardeners during their off-season. As Karen reminded listeners, extension agents embrace the philosophy of "I don't know, but I'll find out." This approach proves essential because agricultural science constantly evolves. Karen recalled how recommendations about salmonella in eggs changed dramatically during her tenure, teaching her to preface answers with "from what we know today." An Open Door Policy Cynthia encourages community members to reach out through multiple channels. They can call the Front Royal office at 540-635-4549, email her at cynthia2000@vt.edu, or follow the Northern Shenandoah Valley Agriculture Natural Resources Facebook page. The office maintains regular hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Warren County Government Center. "I am here to stay and I'm very excited to be here," Cynthia declared, music to Karen's ears after years of position turnover. Looking Ahead As Cynthia settles into her new role, she represents a new generation of extension agents—one that combines traditional agricultural knowledge with modern data analytics and business acumen. Her local roots, combined with her fresh perspective and technical skills, position her to serve the Northern Shenandoah Valley's agricultural community for years to come. For farmers and producers throughout the region, her arrival signals renewed capacity and fresh opportunities. Whether they need help with farm business planning, livestock management, or simply identifying a mysterious bug, Fairbanks stands ready to serve as their connection to Virginia Tech's vast research resources. Indeed, extension's mission continues: bringing university research to the people who need it most, one farmer, one question, and one community at a time.

Episode 300! For decades, the standard response to challenging behavior has been simple: reward the good, punish the bad. But what if non-compliance isn't a sign of disrespect, but a signal of distress? Why do traditional behavioral frameworks like PBIS often miss the mark for neurodivergent students? And how can adults shift from being enforcers to problem-solving partners? Today, Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Dr. Ross Greene, author of The Explosive Child and the upcoming book The Kids Who Aren't Okay, and the originator of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, about the critical difference between modifying behavior and solving the problems that cause it. Dr. Ross W. Greene is a clinical psychologist and the originator of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), an innovative, evidence-based approach for supporting kids with concerning behaviors. He is the author of several influential books, including The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, Raising Human Beings, and his forthcoming title, The Kids Who Aren't Okay: The Urgent Case for Reimagining Support, Belonging, and Hope in Schools. He also developed and executive produced the award-winning 2018 documentary The Kids We Lose. Dr. Greene is the founding director of the nonprofit Lives in the Balance and previously served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20 years. He is currently an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech and the University of Technology Sydney. His CPS model has been implemented in schools, inpatient units, and juvenile facilities across the globe, significantly reducing the use of punitive discipline and promoting connection, collaboration, and long-term success for kids.
