Confidence isn't something you're born with—it's built through effort, resilience, and a relentless commitment to growth. In this episode, you'll hear how Leah Emkin, Chief Client Officer at Wilshire, went from not knowing what an RFP writer was to leading client teams at one of the most respected financial firms. Her story is proof that when you show up, stay curious, and do the hard work, you don't just survive—you thrive. Leah shares the mindset shifts and daily habits that helped her grow into a trusted leader, the power of staying in your lane while playing to your strengths, and how to handle rejection without losing momentum. If you've ever questioned whether you belong in the room or wondered how to lead with both empathy and grit, this conversation will give you the real talk—and reassurance—you need.

Host Ross Furukawa and journalist Brian Peter Falk discussed the ongoing Palisades Fire on January 10th, 2025. Cal Fire reported the fire has burned 21,317 acres with 8% containment and threatens 11,171 structures, while warning about false social media posts claiming cleanup work opportunities. In Santa Monica, evacuation orders remain in effect north of San Vicente, while the area between Montana and San Vicente has been downgraded to an evacuation warning, and the area between Wilshire and Montana has had evacuations lifted. Looting has become a major concern, with the Santa Monica Police Department reporting 573 calls for service, 240 of which came from the evacuation zone (representing only 4% of the city). In response, the National Guard has been deployed to support law enforcement, though they are unarmed. Access to evacuated areas is strictly controlled, with residents only allowed back briefly for essential needs like medication, requiring police escort. The weather forecast indicates weak to moderate Santa Ana winds through the weekend, stronger winds expected Tuesday, and a 20% chance of rain the following Friday. www.smdp.com/fire-resources

Flinn-Brown Fellow Thea Wilshire tells her story of how she unexpectedly moved from Southern California to Globe to work as a child psychologist on the San Carlos Apache Reservation three decades ago—and how Arizona became her home. In this 12th episode of the Leadership for a Better Arizona podcast, hosted by Dawn Wallace with the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership at the Flinn Foundation, the 2011 Flinn-Brown Fellow and former vice mayor of Globe talks about her work with the tribe; her dedication to public art, places and service; her book; faith; and love of community.

Steve Foresti is a Senior Advisor, Investments, at Wilshire, where he has spent almost 30 years.  He previously held a role as Chief Investment Officer, among other roles and is currently in a part-time role as he pursues other interests.  Steve was recommended to us as a guest because of his extraordinary career arc in which he overcame a substantial loss of vision as a child to pursue a fulfilling career. We begin by discussing Steve's career journey and turn then to the nature of the condition that caused his loss of vision from the age of around 7 and his family's coping strategy at that time.  We hear about his parents' efforts to ensure he was in the right educational stream and challenged at every opportunity. It was at this stage that it became clear how much setting the bar high and having high expectations mattered.  Taking this theme forward into his career, we hear about the colleague whose small gestures such as giving him a ride to work and allowing him to avoid a long commute made a massive difference to his quality of life, and then discuss the technological advances that have made impaired vision less of a hindrance in the work place. This podcast is brought to you with the kind support of Longview Productions.

G-g-g-ghosts? This Christian horror film featuring a predominantly black cast gets a touch of celebrity from notable costars Luenell and Faizon Love. It's the only feature film directed by Roy Belfrey, and although it's competently shot with some genuinely scary special effects, it suffers from narrative weakness by not coherently connecting the film's haunting to its overtly Christian message. The film centers around a recent high school graduate named Michelle who has perfect grades and a hardworking drive that gets her a full ride scholarship to a pre-med program at a college in Minneapolis, MN. Although her tight-knit Christian family has trepidations about letting their baby stray so far from the nest, they relent because the family happens to own property in the city. Unfortunately, this property has a problem: a ghost problem. It appears to be haunted by the spirits of Russian women who were killed on the property 100 years or so ago after refusing to cell their house to greedy businessmen. The haunting of the Wilshire house escalates the tensions explored in the film between the natural world and the spiritual world; Michelle is always trying to convince her superstitious family that there is a rational explanation for everything, but even Michelle can't explain the terrifying things happening to her. Finally, the haunting drives Michelle back with her loving family, although it's unclear to us what Michelle learned from the experience, and how anything the film showed us has to do with the Bible verse Matthew 18:20, which was supposed to be the focal point. We at Boys' Bible Study are still in search for a Christian horror film that threads the needle of its messaging instead of choosing style over substance.

Gretchen Case, Managing Partner at The Wilshire Group a boutique healthcare revenue cycle consulting company that helps healthcare clients streamline workflows and processes. They work with hospitals, physician groups, and other providers to optimize their investment in technology and improve patient outcomes. Gretchen points out the various aspects of revenue cycle management, which include insurance benefit verification, explanation of costs, and identification of financial support. The middle revenue cycle includes the codification of clinical data and coordination with insurance companies and electronic health records. The third phase is the billing and payment.   Gretchen elaborates, "Some of the automation I've seen over the last several years has been designed to query the documentation and come up with suggested codes, called computer-assisted coding. And there is a lot of that in play. I think it expedites things and it makes things more efficient. I don't know of anybody who's just flipped that button and left it behind and not continued to monitor and manage it." "There's also movement right now around what we call a single path. That's just one way of saying it, but it's about coding the professional and the technical at the same time. What does that mean? The physician's procedure charge and the technical is what the hospital is going for that technical component of the services. And a lot of times, we share codes. So, if you're going to be coding the physicians and getting her bill out the door correctly, you might as well be coding the hospital one at the same time. So there are definitely developments there, but I haven't seen anything. Just completely automate it and step away." #TheWilshireGroup #RevenueCycleManagment #RCM #Hospitals thewilshiregroup.net Download the transcript here

Lawrence Miller is the CTO of Wilshire, an independent investment management firm that offers consulting services, analytical products, and manages funds for a global client base. For many of us owning and understanding technology is critical for our business. However, many of us have come up through the ranks without hands-on training.  This is where Lawrence lends a hand. We cover Lawrence's start as a quant at JP Morgan, lessons learned launching a startup, and how his time as a technology consultant landed him the CTO role following a ransomware attack. While these cyber-related issues are often discussed at a high level one rarely get into the weeds on actual events. We cover how to respond to a ransomware attack, the current state of disaster recovery and what makes a good penetration test. We then turn to onboarding a new service provider, better tech focused due diligence questions for allocators and why taking a python class can help you be a better operational leader or IR person.

want to travel YouTube kind of turn that into a passion and a hobby and an income stream um and they just talked about their travels all over Europe in some of the beautiful places they've been to so Mike and Chelsea travel tips we're talking about one destination so what destination are we talking about today so we are going to be talking about Wilshire it's the area that we grew up when we when we were younger and we come back when we come back to England so yeah it's got a lot of mystery around it so yeah well sure awesome now what made you want to talk about this destination today I think it's because not a lot of people really know about it do they like when you think of England you think of London and some of the the bigger cities and not many people really know about Wilshire and know about the the history of it sure now welshire is a great place for someone who likes what type of activities definitely being outside yeah yeah it's a lot of farmland and um there's a lot of nature involved in Wilshire it's in the south of England um and it's there's a lot of history as well and a lot of uh like mystery towards it especially if it's something like like a myth there's a lot of myths and if you like to know about myths or follow myths or uh get lost in the stories behind each of the places it's definitely a area to go to and also there's a lot of really old English Cottages uh in the CWS and um for a lot of the rest of the world they don't get to see this type of architect and it's really just Old English uh history with that cages and stone buildings and it's really beautiful isn't it yeah yeah sounds like a beautiful place and you know it's got a ton of different things for no matter what your interest level is so for someone to get the full experience of this destination how long would you say they should take to stay there um I would probably say a good full week um so each of the activities doesn't take too long um so yeah probably a good week and then if they want to see the rest of England yeah I think that would be okay yeah it's not a big place where you have to travel long distances to to each place so yeah oh very good and now as far as you know we know we need to spend a week there but what season are we going definitely summer definitely summer um England rains a lot um and there's not a lot of act indoor activities to do so to see these uh mystical places would definitely be in the summertime so probably between June and September would be the best okay very good now obviously you know for someone like us who's um in the states we if we were going to go we would be flying so we wouldn't take our dog however if someone's a little bit closer to this area is it kid-friendly dog friendly what do you see when you're there um yeah so it definely it's dog friendly definitely just keeping the dogs on the lead um yeah there's so many different walks that you can take there's in the summer there's poppy field um the kids would love it as well just because it's something completely different yeah there's not so many indoor activities to do is there no um yeah it's beautiful place to be in in nature and a lot of the farmers they make like Wild Flower um Fields uh like say poppy fields they make rape seed Fields so all the fields are bright yellow yes it's a beautiful place to to visit and definitely see from the sky as well oh very cool now as far as getting there so how are we going to be working around Transportation do we need cars how do you fly in what advice would you have for someone that's trying to plan a trip here I think if you're flying from uh if you're out of England definitely flying into to London one of the uh airports in London and there England's quite good for transportation so you could either get the train to one of the local towns but I personally would probably hire a car from one of the airports it's a huge farm farm place so from each destination um it's it would take uh about two hours each uh to drive so it's that a lot of it's not in walking distance so hiring a car will probably beneficial and because the the destinations that we're going to talk about um because they're not some some of them are not in towns or cities uh if you was to hire a taxi it's going to take quite a long time for the taxi to get to you or an Uber to get to you to take you to the next place anyway so yeah probably hiring car would be your best option if you could if you could hire a car yeah just getting through some of the language barriers hiring a car is that renting a car as opposed to like hiring a taxi or Uber driver uh yes okay sounds like that'd be more cost efficient to to rent a car in in our terms as opposed to drive having someone drive you two hours back and forth to where you're going glad we cleared that up now you guys have your motor home Luna do you camp when you're in this area is there lodging are can you find a house on Airbnb to stay in um there are a lot of places especially in the cwoods a little bit more expensive but they're absolutely beautiful little farm houses for us motor home wise we do struggle a little bit because it is farmland and because England has smaller roads and smaller layb but we we do get by don't we we there's no I wouldn't say there's any official campsites um yeah if there was there would probably be one yeah in Wilshire and the problem is with campsites here they're just pretty much grass and having a bigger vehicle when it rains a lot and then us trying to get off when it's muddy it's it's quite hard so we do try to use a an app park for night I don't know if you have that in America um and it tells you where other people have stayed and if they've had a problem or if it's been perfect if there's local water there to fill up so there are a few places but it's not as accessible as Wales or or Scotland or you will find some beautiful places to stay in um you'll find um cottages and airbnbs uh there'll be the odd Hotel um there's also a website called uh canopy and stars yeah and they advertise uh quirky stays um places like uh tree houses you can stay in for a night and yeah kind of kind of quirky stays where you wouldn't normally stay so yeah so there are places cool and we'll link what you the app you mentioned in the show notes below it sounds like it's similar to eye Overlander and the dirt we have over here in the states do you have Harvest host over there we've heard of it a few times but I actually don't think we have it in England really it sounds like with the Farms you're describing it' be a good opportunity for that because a lot of it is farms and wineries breweries that offer their land for people to stay at with the exchange of you just buying some of their product yeah we have that with a lot of pubs so if you uh or restaurants if you buy a meal you can stay in the car park but I think that works a lot better for um small converted Vans because everything in England is probably four or five times smaller than than America so our car parks are very very small and we take up four or five spaces so for us we we don't really do that but I know if you have a small little van you can go in have a pub meal and they'll let you stay in the car park for for free oh that's a good tip that is similar to you know if you have a harvest host membership um on the States you go have a drink at you know their Brewery and then you get to stay in in their parking lot which is nice so speaking of that we know that you know it's a very outdoorsy area it's beautiful for hiking and scenery and history but what about at night what about when that sun goes down what do you guys guys like to do in the town there's not much to do it's a big yeah like a big agricultural place there are um pubs to go to and in some of the towns you have bowling alleys and um like the cinema but there's not really um big places to go to I think if you go just outside of Wiltshire you've got Bristol and Oxford they have big gigs that they put on with with famous people and each one is only about an hour away and they have what you would normally have like aquariums and zoos and and Bristol has a lot of um has a lot of art doesn't it it's very well known for its art and being a bit more free so maybe if you did visit Wiltshire to make sure you go to Oxford that has a lot of history um Bristol has a lot of creative people and they do a lot of street art um on the sides of buildings and they're known for their graffiti graffiti kind of art uh but mainly it's like big murals of pictures proper pictures made by spray spray paints and stuff like that yeah and then yeah and then London is only an hour away from us so um yeah they have they have big big night life there yeah and I think that's a really good point is London's Orly an hour array and a lot of people will go to London and then think okay well I'm going to catch a flight or a train to another country or to somewhere else but you know if you're going to London you could actually drive that you know hour or two hours like you said and there's a lot to do in the Wilshire the Oxford area and especially for someone who likes history you know maybe doesn't want crazy night life which I think it you know our age none of us want overly especially if we are those nature enthusiasts but tons of stuff that you can do um even just extend your trip from London it sounds like yeah yeah and I I've I mean traveling other countries we've always noticed coming out of um like Capital Cities uh and going to other rural areas you get to see the the true side of the country and the the real people that live there as well yeah yeah and I think that's important too is you know feeling part of that culture and getting to experience not just those those highlights that everybody goes to see but you know come into the smaller towns and you know buy things from the locals and you know just enjoy that experience yeah yeah I'm glad you talked about all that because when I think England I think Big Ben London and rain so it sounds like I was half right because it is still pretty rainy over there but there is a lot of Scenic you know nature there's art culture things to do how far away is Stonehenge so Stonehenge is actually uh in in Wilshire and from from where we are right now maybe 45 minutes Drive yeah yeah again it's almost in the middle of nowhere yeah loads of farmlands surrounding it um yeah it's definitely worth the visit isn't it yeah but maybe try to pick a day that's not the weekend because it does get very very busy yeah I can imagine obvious you guys have been there many many times living So Close by how big are those rocks like you look at some photos and they look huge are they bigger than you expect when you walk up to them for me they are but I'm very small yeah they're they're very big yeah it does make you wonder how they lifted these things and got them over into that position yeah they're huge I have to ask a native's opinion was it aliens and whoever put them there got there somehow I mean we we once had a a king a long time ago Henry VII that actually was against um certain things and he wanted certain religions to be his way he actually collapsed all of Stonehenge and tried to bury it and then when he passed they rebuilt it again so I don't know whether it's actually in the same format as how it started out to be um but there's probably been a lot of changes happen in that area due to history yeah it is interesting for sure yeah well speaking of you know that and in the beginning you mentioned there's a lot of myths so if anyone likes myths this is a good place for them anything you want to note today so there's and they don't know why the farmers do this so there's a lot of things that go on about crop circles here as well and there's a farmer down the road that um makes his own crop circles I don't know how he does it something with his tractor and it attracts a lot of people um just to come and look at it really but there is a different feeling about um Asbury it's very and it's a kind of a mini Stone Henge it does have a very calming feeling and um it's all meant to be kind of funu the way that the stones are put and it's meant to bring a healing energy but yeah there is something very fing about that area yeah there's loads of different myths yeah so there's load I can go on and on yeah we've got loads of uh um chalk horses uh sorry um yeah chalk horses on the side of Hills um and these some of them were built uh over 4,000 years ago and there's myths like if you stand on the head of the horse and spin 10 times it's meant to give you good luck and stuff like this yeah it's quite interesting uh we keep these things restored um and you know miles from the distance you can see these uh massive chalk horses on side of hills and there's I think there's 10 in total yeah in Wilshire I think the first one they don't know how it was made and then towards the end like the eth ninth and 10th one they they were put in by us um maybe 50 to 100 years ago yeah it's it's something you don't really get to see very often it's quite yeah it's quite nice very cool we kind of have that like we're in Mystic Connecticut which is a pretty historic town so we have you know there's history there's weird fires that happen going with that kind of that paranormal alien theme do they have like ghost tours like haunted places for people who like that kind of thing there uh they're all ghost hores and I don't know much about them because that's my biggest fear but um at Asbury they have it's meant to be um the most haunted Pub in England all right yeah and and you can stay there in a room overnight yeah something I would never go and try I'm learning too I don't i' never knew that very cool see that's what this is all about yeah right a little bit for everybody it sounds like awesome great we'll transition to the 321 Countdown the final three questions of the podcast and if you've listened to the travel tips segment before we're changing these up a little bit because the 321 countdown we originally started the question three was what are three things to do in or around the area but what we were finding was it was repeating a lot of what we had already talked about so it was a little anticlimactic so instead of that we're asking what are three things you need to bring on your trip to Wilshire I think the first would be an umbrella even in the summer yep yeah just in case you never know when it's going to rain yeah some some hiking boots hiking boots yeah hiking boots are Wellies yeah probably and um probably I would say a backpack as well because you're going to be outside a lot um so whatever you want to pop in sandwiches on your hike or you want to go for longer any hiking gear so a lot of outdoorsy type of things but yeah I mean it's not as convenient as being in a town in a city where you could just go to a convenience store and buy some sandwiches or whatever it may be that you eat for lunch um so yeah a backpack is quite helpful cuz you may be in the sticks as we call it for a long time backpack and have some sort of a cooler inside of it so you can keep your food fresh because you're probably going to be going a little ways little while outside of having refrigeration and going on those long hikes so yeah what are two complaints or things people should be prepared for before visiting Wilshire going back maybe to the rain it can be miserable it really can be miserable and I think particularly in in this area of England yeah it gets muddy and I think that's the the biggest complaints we have from a lot of people is is the weather unfortunately um I think maybe just trying to get around um as much as possible like we said everything's quite spread out um it's not as convenient as uh you would you would think it would be so yeah probably the weather and and transport those are good tips and it sounds like you touched on earlier doing a week out there because not only because it takes a long time to go from place to place but also the weather if you're there for a week you might get you know two three days of sunshine versus if you go for a weekend you might get drenched so if you if you're preparing and you're looking up YouTube videos and photos of wil and it's sunny and beautiful be prepared that it might not be like that when you're there all right and one last question we talked about a lot of things to do in Wilshire but what is one thing if you had to pick one thing what is the one thing you simply cannot leave Willl here without doing probably Stonehenge I think yeah yeah seeing seeing Stonehenge and I think maybe also I know it's is a little bit off subject for for the kids they have um like lamming weekends where you can go and help at a college um where they have lambs and it's it's an amazing experience for kids to go and help with the with the animals oh very cool I think I would actually like doing that too come over at Easter you can help yeah there we go perfect now just last question I really have um since you said you know when if you're going on a hike bring that backpack pack your lunch where is there any place that you guys really like to eat or to get some sandwiches from to take um I think there's this lovely place is in there to have a steak to eat uh is it La carbonara La carbonara yeah oh my God it's the best place to eat anywhere like I've never had a bad uh meal there yes yeah um as for like sandwiches and stuff there's there's loads of places isn't there yeah there we've got quite good restaurants in the UK yeah just for soundwich and stuff maybe just a con just a convenience store and I think what hope is getting at and I think what this might be it's own section its own segment in its own cuz this has been a topic conversation our past like two travel tip segments what's your favorite ice cream place oh I I don't know that's that's quite difficult in the UK because number one we don't have many ice cream places yeah yeah like there is one that's actually about 10 minutes away from us but I think that's the only one in our town it's only open between April and October we don't really have any places doing no I think we have uh the ice cream trucks that come around oh yeah we we have ice cream bands for for children well good I think those are some important things to know those are the things where am I eating and where am I having ice cream those are always things I need to know when I'm going to travel so thank you for answering those um at any um Supermarket you can pretty much get the same ice creams as what you probably get in America I I've heard uh China is the best place for ice cream I don't know how true that is I have not heard that before what we have to test that theory out apparently they got the best ice cream in the world the best ice cream I've ever had is America and uh lanzerotti an island of Spain yeah yeah yeah it is well awesome guys this is a blast to know you guys both part one and part two talking about wilshore England I think a lot of people are going to find this very educational informative if they're planning a trip over there and don't forget if you haven't heard part one with Mike and Chelsea and the Viger feeling definitely listen to that hear their story about how they they quit their 9 to-5 they pursued traveling full-time they've got some amazing content on their Channel Mike

It's Tuesday, January 30th, A.D. 2024.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nepalese Pastor condemned to serve year in prison The Nepali Supreme Court has released an order requiring Pastor Keshab Raj Acharya to serve one year in prison for peaceful religious activity. Pastor Keshab had received a call to pray for someone's sick wife in March  2020.  He was also charged with distributing religious leaflets, reports Alliance Defending Freedom International. 72% of Evangelicals came to faith before 18 A new Infinity Concepts study has confirmed that the single greatest influence in Evangelical Protestants becoming Christians is their parents. The generational factor is the most powerful and significant in the development of the Christian church. They report: 72% of adult Evangelical Christians came to their beliefs before they reached the age of 18. 51% confirm that their parents were the most important or significant influence in their becoming a Christian. 15% credit a spouse or a sibling as the most important influence in them coming to faith.   3% credit a Sunday School teacher, a Vacation Bible School instructor, or some other ministry in the church. And 4% would credit a Christian concert or a crusade.   Church attendance and reading the Bible were the second and third most important factors. Only 4% became Christians in the last four years. Finally, the average adult Evangelical's conversion happened nearly 37 years ago.  Jury awards woman $83 million against Trump A woman has successfully sued Donald Trump for sexual abuse and defamation of character. E. Jean Carroll initially won $5 million in damages in a jury trial in 2022 based on her accusation that Trump had engaged in unwanted sexual sin with her some thirty years earlier. Last Friday, a Manhattan jury awarded the author an additional $83.3 million for defamation, reports CBS News. The wise man in the Proverbs warns every man. “For by means of a harlot, a man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. Can a man take fire to his bosom and his clothes not be burned?”  (Proverbs 6:26-27) “Operation Lone Star” detained 496,000 illegals since 2021 The southern border of the United States presents something of a crisis, and the Governor of Texas is responding. Republican Governor Greg Abbott's “Operation Lone Star” has installed 30 miles of razor wire barriers near the city of Eagle Pass. The Governor of Texas also continues to bus migrants to cities and states controlled by the Democrat Party. Since its implementation in March 2021, “Operation Lone Star” has detained 496,000 illegal immigrants.  Of them, 38,500 face criminal charges. The cost to Texas taxpayers is already a whopping $10 billion. Despite a Supreme Court order last week allowing federal law enforcement to tear down state-erected barriers, Texas Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Monday the state will continue to build razor wire and other fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border, reports TheHill.com. Biden vs. Trump at the border U.S. Customs and Border Protection released its 2023 numbers for southwest detentions as 2,476,000, with December topping all records at 270,000.   That compares to 415,000 detentions in 2017, during the first year of the Trump administration. Legal immigration in the U.S. has run between 500,000 and 1,000,000 per year since the 1990s. U.S. stock markets continue to surge The S&P stock market index reached record highs again on Monday. The Wilshire 5000 to Gross Domestic Product index hit 173%, about three times the historical average. That means that stocks are overpriced by about 300%. The S&P Price to Earnings ratio is running about 26, as compared to an historical average of about 15.  The U.S. Debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio is on the rise again, scraping 129%. The United States is the 11th worst nation in the world on this metric, just behind Venezuela, Eritrea, Greece, Sudan, Lebanon, and Bhutan. Virginia Court: Realtor can mention Jesus/Bible verse in email A Virginia Court struck down a regulation established by the State Real Estate Board, disallowing a realtor from mentioning Jesus or including a Bible Verse in her e-mail communications, reports WorldNetDaily.com. At issue was realtor Hadassah Carter's inclusion of the byline “Jesus Loves You” and John 3:16 in her e-mail signature line.  The ruling stated that the regulation was “an unconstitutional abridgement of the rights to speech and expression established by the First Amendment.” Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.” Closer look at God's glorious handiwork The James Webb Space Telescope has provided much clearer pictures of 19 spiral galaxies, representing billions of stars, fairly close to our Milky Way Galaxy. These spectacular pictures of God's mighty creation in outer space, are available at science.nasa.gov. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” What's it like on a Christian movie set? And finally, have you ever wondered what it's like on a Christian movie set? Today, as I guest host for Kevin Swanson on Generations Radio, I'll take you behind the scenes in a fascinating interview with Kevin Bouren, co-founder of Set Shepherds.  Kevin, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army, sees some intriguing similarities between all the moving parts of military battle and all the moving parts of a movie production. Acting as both co-producer and chaplain of the cast and crew, his goal is to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ to the believers and unbelievers alike. BOUREN:  “I would introduce myself to every member of the cast and crew. And this is what I would say. I'd walk up to them, I'd shake their hand, and I'd say, ‘Hi, my name is Kevin Bouren. And I have the honor of serving you as your chaplain. It's my desire to make sure you feel loved, honored, valued, respected, and treasured as the amazing man that God has made you to be.' “So, I said that to one of our actors, and he's been in Hollywood for 40 years. As soon as I said that to him, he stopped, he looked right in my eyes, and he leaned in. He said, ‘That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I had no idea that there was somebody here who had that role.'” Learn about how that actor from the set of “Birthright Outlaw,” a Christian western streaming on Pure Flix right now, trusted Christ as his Savior.  Listen to my full, 25-minute-long interview at Generations.org/Radio.

No one gets anywhere being shamed. You cannot shame yourself to hit your goals. Lesley Logan 0:08  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 0:50  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the motivational convo I had with Tamika Robinson in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened that episode, feel free to pause this now. Go back, listen to that one, you're gonna hear Tamika and I giggle a lot, especially if you're listening 2x like Brad does, then it sounds like chipmunks. But it's a lot of fun. It's quite motivational. I loved it, it was really great. And then you can come back and listen to this or you can listen to us now and then decide when to listen to that. Whatever you want to do is totally fine. I just want to like highlight for a moment that this is the first time ever I have not tripped up on the intro of the recap. And we should just take a moment because it's what 200 Episode 290. After 145 times of trying here we are celebrating. Brad Crowell 1:34  I also did not interrupt you. So yeah. Lesley Logan 1:36  You didn't interrupt me and I didn't fuck up. And you gotta celebrate when you do things so your dopamine kick happens. And this is now a habit. Lesley Logan 1:45  Okay, so today is November 16. It's Useless Stuff Day. That's so crazy. I think that my FYF for tomorrow is about how I cleared out my closet. I didn't even know that, so great. So the day was created to spread awareness around the clutter of unnecessary things in our homes, especially during the busiest shopping months of the year. It encourages people to adopt a minimalist lifestyle where only the essentials are bought or kept. Keep that in mind as we talk about Black Friday, Cyber Monday, most everything that we're about to talk about is digital. So not gonna take up any space. But I agree, I do think that like, we probably have a lot of things. So maybe pick a room one of the things that Brad and I do on the New Year, which we're going to do this time around Thanksgiving, because we're never home on the New Year's anymore. So I picked a new holiday. So on Thanksgiving weekend we are we go through room by room, like clean out a closet, clean out a drawer and just like get rid of stuff. You're like i What is this? It's taking up space.Brad Crowell 2:41  And it was a hell of a lot easier when we lived in an apartment. Lesley Logan 2:44  Yes, now we don't. But now we have a whole weekend to do it, Brad, because we have Black Friday through Cyber Monday. Brad Crowell 2:50  That's true. That's true. Lesley Logan 2:52  Also, it's it's even if you just start with one room and just do the one room and you go, Okay, I have not used this in so many years like do you really need it, give it away to someone give it to someone. You can sell things on Facebook marketplace, you can make some money so you can actually get paid. Then what's going on. So next month is December. So we'll be on tour for our winter tour. And we've got tons of cities and lots of opportunity. Bring your friends bring your family, there's classes that anyone can attend. And then there's workshops that I designed them so that whether you're a teacher or a client, you can enjoy them. But there are CECs if you are a teacher. So go to opc.me/tour to see what cities we're going to be in. Look we're driving 7000 miles, you can drive two hours. I'm just saying. Brad Crowell 3:36  100% Lesley Logan 3:36  You can be part of if you are like oh my god Lesley, it's a holiday I have a family. I bet you they (inaudible), but you need a break. Or you can bring them and let me entertain them. So opc.me/tour. You're gonna want to be there. Next week is a holiday. Brad Crowell 3:50  It's a crazy tour. We're going to be hitting something like 20-plus locations on this tour.Lesley Logan 3:59  Yeah. I want to light I want to lighten the van that's like you are in Denver and like, hello Denver what's up? Like, then I was like okay, Lesley, you are now in Austin, okay. I'm in Austin, okay, like I need to, I need a flashing light anyways, but let's get back to today. Next week is the official Black Friday Cyber Monday situation. So I know your inbox is full of people who celebrate all month long. But here at our household, we really like nostalgia. And so the earliest we kick things off is next Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, there are lots of opportunities for you to save on mat flashcards, on Pilates workshops, on business workshops.Brad Crowell 4:45  And my special upcoming live webinar.Lesley Logan 4:48  Yes.Brad Crowell 4:49  We're gonna be doing. We're gonna be selling tickets for that over BFCM as well.Lesley Logan 4:54  We might as well go into what that webinar is. Brad Crowell 4:57  What your website needs. Lesley Logan 4:59  You all, websites are not going anywhere. I don't care how important social media seems to be in your life. And no matter what your be it till you see it is I bet you need a website. Brad Crowell 5:09  I'll be catering it specifically towards Pilates instructors. Lesley Logan 5:12  Yeah. But if you're in a service based businessBrad Crowell 5:14  If you're yoga or anything like that, that's super good, you know, it'll be super applicable for you too. And I'm going to be really digging into things like, let's say you actually have no interest in doing the website yourself. By the end of the webinar, you should be able to have a comprehensive, you know, conversation with your web designer, web developer person, so that, you know, you don't feel like they're talking over your head. Lesley Logan 5:40  Well, and also you want to be able to know like, you don't need them to sell you things you don't need. So when you know what your website needs, you can be really clear, like, this is what I want, how much is this and that way you can really price compare, and you can find if someone's not listening to you be like, oh, like you're gonna have a lot more competence in those conversations. So super huge, you're gonna want to make sure if you're in the service-based industry, you're gonna want to make sure you're watching for our Pprofitable Pilates emails, because the best deal is going to be around the Black Friday, Cyber Monday. So we have discounts on OPC and on Profitable Pilates. So you'll have to go to the website specifically to grab all of those. There's options if you're not an OPC member, but you've always wanted to try it out. There's a deal for that. I mean, we are doing all the things most of them are digital so you can still clean out your house and be clutter free and get these things but you're (inaudible) flashcards just saying. Anyways, okay, so that is all the updates for us. Before we get into the episode with Tamika, do we have an audience question?Brad Crowell 6:36  Hey, we sure do. What a coincidence. This week.Lesley Logan 6:42  I just got this question today on Instagram.Brad Crowell 6:44  What microphones do you use to record your Pilates workouts? Lesley Logan 6:47  Yes, so okay, um, in all honesty, I don't know. But Brad probably does. What we do Brad Crowell 6:54  We use whatever Nate tells us to use.Lesley Logan 6:57  Yes, so Nate is the most incredible, most amazing salesperson at Sweetwater sound, and you guys. Sweetwater is like one of the coolest companies because they're like, they're kicking ass when it comes to selling microphones in all the spaces they're just like they sell more than microphones. Brad Crowell 7:14  It's basically that like in the 90s and early 2000s They were competing with Guitar Center which was brick and mortar and they were a mail order catalog only. And then they went online and then now they actually give Amazon a run for their money for music distribution or for music gear distribution.Lesley Logan 7:33  And they have warehouses now in different places, which is a huge new thing for them (inaudible) yeah, and so they can get you stuff so quickly. So Nate is our guy and so here's how you can find out all the information on anything that we use to record for our YouTube videos and our on demand workouts you go to profitablepilates.com/livestream Brad made a fancy guide and has literally all the things you need to level up your live stream you it's free it's free guide just go to profitablepilates.com/livestream.Brad Crowell 8:06  Yeah and if the if the gear, gear changes over time so you know there's there's direct connection to Nate right in the on that guide.Lesley Logan 8:15  Tell him what you're doing and he'll tell you what you should get. Brad Crowell 8:17  Just reach out to him just email him and tell him that you came from us. Tell him what you're looking for. And we'll help you out.Lesley Logan 8:24  He did our podcast mics, he does he helps us with our Pilates mics.Brad Crowell 8:26  Even this lighting.Lesley Logan 8:27  Oh yeah. And speaking of Pilates mics we have to get a new cord because we're at a year and yeah, these cords just so you know, everyone they're not made for filming Pilates. They're made for maybe filming a spin class.Brad Crowell 8:40  They're not made for rolling around on the microphone cord. No.Lesley Logan 8:43  Correct. And so basically like my cord lasts a year. That's all, that's pretty much all it is. And it's annoying and it's frustrating and yes, it's but it costs money. Guess what? It costs money to make money. I don't, I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you, it costs money.Brad Crowell 9:02  The cord's not that bad.Lesley Logan 9:04  It's like 100 bucks. Brad Crowell 9:04  No, the cord, it's like seven.Lesley Logan 9:06  Oh, okay, well spent. But yeah, but like when you invest the first time for the microphone, it's like 100 bucks.Brad Crowell 9:10   Yeah. The microphone is more expensive. Yes. Yeah, the cord is fine. Lesley Logan 9:14  Anyway, so profitablepilates.com/livestream, you guys send your questions in, we answer questions ranging all host of things. So send them on to the Be It pod we can answer your questions on the next episode.Brad Crowell 9:26  Okay, now let's talk about Tamika Robinson, founder of Jar Fit. Tamika shares her journey as a personal trainer, focusing on 80 women to achieve their body goals. She's committed to empowering her clients celebrating their small wins and fostering self-belief through each step of their fitness journey. And I don't know if you've gone to her website to see pictures of her competition body. But she's amazingly impressive. When it comes to, she competes. And I think she's won titles and stuff. So it's amazing to see. You know, so you can do that. Her husband, I believe also competes because he's massive. Lesley Logan 10:13  I know. But you know, like that, that means that parts of the year they only have rice and salmon. And like, that's a whole world of life. We didn't really dive into competitions, just because I wanted to be, yeah, no, yeah. Because I want it to be like what you can be till you see it. And I really like. So we had on James Patrick a while back and he hosts an amazing event every year about getting like booked for gigs. Hello, August. And getting booked for gigs. And we are one of the media outlets that they can get booked on. And he has been on the show. So he knows what we're looking for. And out of the like 500 people he's like, here are the best people I think you'd like. So take a look at all 500. But I think you would love these. And I did look through about 100. But I looked at the five that he sent me. And Tamika, I just like I really so which what came through on her stuff is very much this. Like she said, if you get better 1% every day, that the end of the year, that's 365%. Now I'm sure there's a mathematician who is actually going to say, well, actually, if you start off at 100%, it does compound, so it's even more amazing. It's even more amazing. And I loved it because it made me think of Allen Stein Jr. But how he's always like, did I get 1% closer to my goal today? And so I think like, especially because the women who listen to this podcast, hi, I see, you might type a perfectionist, we tend to think it's all or nothing if I didn't improve 100% I did nothing today. And it's like, actually, what if you do just one thing, one thing today that got you closer to your goal, at the end of the year, it's 365 things, you probably are going to surpass that goal. You know. And so when we make it up so hard, so she, she does this a little bit more specifically, we got into like, how she does with her weight training and like helping people. But I want to like more importantly, I want to talk about how she like, uses positive reinforcement to motivate her clients, you guys positive reinforcement is actually how habits are created. No one gets anywhere being shamed. You cannot shame yourself to hit your goals, period. And I'm sorry, you might be able to shame yourself to get out of the fucking bed a couple times a week or maybe get to the wherever the place but like you cannot shame yourself to achieving anything because it doesn't work is the same thing as like motivation. Like if you're waiting to be motivated, like that's going to come on you I was motivated at 4am this morning. That is not a consistent thing. It's just because we got home and we're still working on getting up at 5am. But I was like motivated and ready to go. That's you know, you can't just wait on motivation. It's going to come up with the worst times, right. And she also talked about like, how she really encourages her clients to journal and on their experiences and reflections. And I think this is really great. We listen to a guy on his podcast and he writes everything down. He must write his everyday down. Because he remember his his stories he's like on this day, 23 years ago, yeah, this thing happened to me. And I'm like, What the fuck? Is he reading his journal? Like, how does he know what happened on this day to himself in 47 years? Like, what is happening?Brad Crowell 13:27  Well, yeah, obviously he has it all catalogued too, so he could flip through? Yeah. And like immediately reference like, this day, on all these years previous. I mean, Lesley Logan 13:38  What if we just did that for that recaps instead of like, it's this day in the world right now. Like, okay, on this day, 27 years ago, in my life, I went on my first date. No, but like, if you can take whether you want to journal in the morning, or in the evening, find a time to like, talk, like write down your experiences from the day write down three things that happened to you, and then reflect on like, how did you like that? What was your favorite part about that? Because those kinds of things help you really understand yourself. I with Brad and I were in a coaching session today with our coach. And I was like, Oh, I journaled today. And I became extremely aware of like, how I've been holding myself back this year. And it's not like in a negative way. It's like, oh, aha moment. Whoa, like, these things are really important. So I love that she does that and then she really encourages them to acknowledge their own progress. So they can feel good about their achievements. So just I think more coaches like her affecting more women out in the world she does it through weight training, but like my goodness, you guys don't You don't have to wait train with her to get this you can actually like take these things and like apply them to your life the way you do them.Brad Crowell 14:42  Yeah, totally. And, you know, when when? Well, she said a bunch of things that I also dug. One I thought it was really fun that she mentioned. She and her partner both share similar personal goals and so that's why they started working together. And that was fun. Because that's how life is for us. And it made me think about that. But I really loved when she was talking about, like her transition into becoming a coach. Becoming a trainer actually. And so she said, if you're planning on starting your side, hustle or leaving your full-time job, you must know what it is that you need to make, so that you can enjoy Lesley Logan 15:31  I knew you'd love this. Brad Crowell 15:32  Yeah. So you can like enjoy being, you know, in your new role. And because she, it was really interesting to listen to her talk about like, the idea of being a trainer. And that being her profession, right, because she comes from like, she went and got a Criminal Justice background degree, like master's degree. She was like, trying to work for the FBI, like three times she applied and wasn't getting the FBI. Lesley Logan 16:02  I mean, their fucking loss, because she's amazing. And also, like, she's so sweet. I feel like the FBI would like just like...Brad Crowell 16:08  Yeah. Let's she, you know, so she had this preconceived notion of like, who am I? What am I supposed to do with my life, and then she just enjoyed the training and then started, you know, she got certified and then started training people. And but I still think even she mentioned that even after she started taking clients, she still wasn't like, convinced herself that this is her job, her profession, right. And it took a long time for her to settle in and actually did really lean into it. And, you know, so I think, when she was first starting out, she was a little unsettled, like, I'm not, you know, making my insurance or I'm not making my, my, you know, the money that I think I should be making or whatever. And so she then reflects on that and teaches her clients like, hey, you know, know what you need to make before you quit. And she said, also, what I thought was really nice is that it was messy. It was a messy process, I thought that was really cool that she was so transparent. You know, it didn't happen overnight, she didn't like immediately start making her goal income right away all the things. In fact, she, she started writing herself a check for 10 grand, every single month, even if she wasn't able to cash that check, she began to visualize this concept of like, this is the amount of money that I know that I want to make. I'm gonna write myself this check until I can cash (inaudible).Lesley Logan 17:38  I'm obsessed with this and so many reasons. reasons. One of the reasons is a too often people who work for themselves don't pay themselves an actual paycheck, they just like take from the bank account. Like, they don't actually get the same paycheck every month. Right? And the other reason I love it is like she's practicing writing down $10,000 paid to, to make it like the reality. Brad Crowell 18:00  I think she started talking about like, Monopoly money, though, because she was like, I don't have a checkbook.Lesley Logan 18:04  Yeah. But also okay. But also like seeing that, or this is something I talked to, like people who like, that's too much money to charge. It's like, say it out loud all the time. So it doesn't sound foreign. It's like, you the those these things can be come a little esoteric, or, or I guess it's the best word for this. Yeah. If you if you only think about them in your head, but if you actually, like, write the check, like we've had, or like, when we got this houseBrad Crowell 18:31  It doesn't feel real like it's you know, it's like, telling yourself, good job, but you don't, you know, doesn't really benefit you.Lesley Logan 18:40  I think like, the best you could do is like write yourself the check. Even if you don't cash it or, you know, grab Monopoly money,Brad Crowell 18:46  You got to associate it with an action, llike doing celebration is more than, you know, you inside your head saying I did it. You have to talk it out loud. You have to like, actually do something.Lesley Logan 18:58  And say, say these prices andthese goals out loud, because $10,000 might seem like a lot. If you're like me, you came from no money. Oh my god. Like, that's a lot of money. But if you start to say it out loud, and you talk about these numbers with your friends and things, I think it's so important for men to talk about how much money they make. And not in a boastful way. This is not like an arrogant way. This is a we have to start seeing these numbers as normal. It is normal to make $10,000 a month. It should be normal. And I know that like if you're like, oh my god Lesley, I barely make $2,000 a month. I'm like, so poor. Yeah, but talk like talk these numbers out so that 10,000 doesn't seem so far away. It seems one, you earned it, you deserve it. You deserve more than that. You're worthy of that and two, when you say your prices, it's not about your budget, right? It's about what you're worth of the effects that you make, that your talent has on these people's lives.Brad Crowell 19:52  The impact that you're having. Lesley Logan 19:54  You're not charging for the 55 minutes you're charging for the impact it's having. And so Danny J, whe should have Danny J and Joel on the pod. We should just do that. Okay. If you're listening, ladies, just text them out for this. But Danny J had us, like, take what we charge and double it and go around and say how much does it cost to work with you? And I'm like, okay, so I took the OPC most expensive membership. And I said, okay, it costs $1,400 a year to take. And I said, How many classes that that membership included was like six times 12 is 64, 66, 64?Brad Crowell 20:31  I wasn't actually paying attention. Lesley Logan 20:33  So how much is 12 times six?Brad Crowell 20:35  You get 104 classes? The most expensive? Okay, so 152.Lesley Logan 20:39  152. So 152 for $1,500 It's only 150 We don't try to generalize guys, but the point was to take what you charge and double it. And so if you think holy, that's fucking $10 cost well guess what, my rates are actually half that. So it's five dollars a class to work with me for a whole year. That's so cheap, right? But we think about oh my god $700. Like we think about the bigger number, right? Breaking it down. So Danny J had us like, take the money, double it. And then walk around saying that so that when you say your actual price, it sounds so inexpensive.Brad Crowell 21:16  Well, in that same vein, I she recommended a book. Lesley Logan 21:20  I can't wait to read this. Brad Crowell 21:21  Overcoming, called Overcoming Underearning by Barbara Stanny. And, you know, it was interesting to listen to her talk about that. I think that would have been really beneficial for me. When I was first getting started, you know, too because I was like, Oh man, if I can only make $100 today, you know, or if I can only make $30,000 a year if I can only make $50,000 a year. And you know, I think it's really important that we, like you said talk about the money side of it. But also it is expensive to live in a city. Period. So doesn't matter which city you're in. It's expensive to live in a city. And you know, to make 50 grand in a city. You're barely paying your bills. You know, 50 grand seems like so much fucking money for me.Lesley Logan 22:18  Yeah. Because I mean, I knew what my parents made, like my mom. I'm gonna say this because you want to know how schoolteachers make. My mom taught private school and in the 2000s. And I guess they call it the arts. I don't really understand what that comes from. In the 2000s. She made $22,000 a year as a full-time fifth grade school teacher. What the fuck? That is McDonald's employees back then made more money in a year full time. Okay, so she's the college-educated person who was making that. My father was making a little over 40 something at some point when I heard his salary. Me getting paid $50,000 I was like, I'm slaying right, I'm killing it. No, I could barely pay my bills, like where I live? Because I live in a city like you did. And so it's like, but because my mindset that seemed like, that's so much money, it was I did not have a mindset that was likeBrad Crowell 23:14  Oh, my gosh, I was like, if I can make 75 I'm going to be rich.Lesley Logan 23:17  Yeah. If you move to I don't know, I don't even know where you can live for 75,000 anymore. Maybe Alabama? I don't know. Brad Crowell 23:25  But, but I think but so this book, it was interesting to hear her talk about it. And so, you know, we're, we're, we're gonna check it out, too. We haven't actually checked it out, but Overcoming Underearning by Barbara Stanny. Yeah. So, you know, she, she also talked about when, you know, identifying her current situation and desired goals, she created a plan, saying I'm going to calculate all my clients figure out what I'm paying rent what I need, and then I'm going to figure out the plan. So for those of you who have worked with us in Agency, that probably sounds really familiar. We obviously talked about the magic number calculator, and it really helps create that clarity for what you need to set for your rates to help you work backwards, just like she was talking about here. So that you can make the money that you need to make to include time off, sick days off, you know, all those kinds of things. And I just thought it was really aligned with what we are all about. So yeah, great stuff.Lesley Logan 24:28  Yeah, I'm in love. Tamika, we love you.Brad Crowell 24:32  All right, so finally let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Tamika Robinson? She said if you are stressed cry, it's okay, you're allowed. You're allowed to do it. She said feel your feelings crying is perfectly acceptable. So you know this is interesting. I was never really taught this.Lesley Logan 25:00  I cry all the time. Yeah, but I had to remind myself it's okay.Brad Crowell 25:08  All right. Okay, I'm still talking over here. So my so what I was never really taught this and my, my feeling my feelings. I would wait, wait, wait until it became anger. And then I would feel my feelings in an explosive way. And that never benefited me. Anyone else around me none of that stuff. So I thought it was really helpful to just hear that. You know, you're you're supposed to feel your feelings that's being human. And if that, you know, turns into tears, that's okay. It's allowed.Lesley Logan 25:46  Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm really glad that you heard it now. And I thinkBrad Crowell 25:52  Would have been really helpful. 20 years ago.Lesley Logan 25:54  I well. Isn't that the, I think...Brad Crowell 25:56  Even 10. Lesley Logan 25:57  Well, can I just be honest, girls are told not to cry. And especially Brad Crowell 26:01  So are boys. Lesley Logan 26:02  Well, girls can, but not at work. Don't let anyone see you cry at work. And it's like, okay, but your passion is actually super. Like, if you if you're crying all the time, like maybe go take your hormones, but like, if you are so passionate, something you're so fresh, it makes you cry, because like the like, it's okay to like have those feelings, because if you shove them down, there is a really great book. I want to say it's called Burnout. It's like two sisters. I don't know that Burnout. I heard them on Brene Brown's podcast, but they said like that it's so important. To letLesley Logan 26:03  It is Burnout. Yeah, Emily and Amelia Nagosaki. Lesley Logan 26:08  Yes. So they said like, sometimes in the moment, it's not appropriate to feel you're feeling Brad Crowell 26:19  No. Nagoski.Lesley Logan 26:43  Yeah. It's not it's not. It's not always appropriate. So like, for example, you may be walking on the street and somebody like, calls out like, I'll just say, I'll, I'll do an actual example in my life. I was run in LA I used to run and this guy who was dressed like a gnome, I swear to God. Brad Crowell 27:08  A gnome? Lesley Logan 27:09  Yes. You heard me say it. He (inaudible) hobbit. He had a foil, little cap on Brad Crowell 27:14  I was thinking about the Seven Dwarfs. Lesley Logan 27:16  Oh, he, maybe but like really sort of The Hobbit like kind of like the like the bigger guy with a braid on his beard? I'll be running with my own, and he'd go you're a whore. Brad Crowell 27:27  What? Lesley Logan 27:28  Right? Because He's cray. He has he has mental problems. Okay, so he has more problems than I have. It doesn't feel good to feel be called that, right? So when I was out of arm's reach of him, I would laugh out loud because like, if I were just to like, shove that down, and every Sunday, this man would call me a whore. It is actually not Oh, you don't want to be called that doesn't feel good to be called that there was another guy that Eric used to hear. He would like, he was this other crazy dude on Wilshire, and he would call it something. And I just started going, you know, may the Lord open, blessed be like, oh, but I would like to make a joke about it. Because I had to let out I had to have a reaction to let that out. And their whole point is like, maybe in the moment, you can't let it out. Like, in my case, I was in an area where I could like, let like joke about it or laugh it out. But if you do have to, like hold it together, because maybe someone says something in a meeting and you can't say anything in the meeting, you can't cry in the meeting, then you need to actually get home, get to a pillow, scream in the pillow, like let it out. Because if you don't, if you don't feel your feelings, they bottle up and they actually do cost stress on the body. And they can keep you from becoming the person you're meant to be in this world. So I love that Be It Action. Mine is she said to write down 100 things on your to-do list. And I swear to God when she said that I was like maybe we are editing this Be It Action Item. Because this is not aligned with my values. But then she said, then after the fifth thing, cross everything out.Brad Crowell 28:59  She said, Yeah, she said take the top five and cross out 95 of them. Lesley Logan 29:06  Yes, yeah, yes. And I love this actually just kind of a book club meeting with Agency members called do the book was like, Do the One Thing or The One Thing or whatever. And I love this because it's so true. We put all these things on our list. But really the first five things are the most pressing things so they're top of mind the other 95 you're just like, look at me, I'm so busy. Look at me, like all these important things to do. So I thought that is so fun, because then you can get all that shit off your head, anyway. Brad Crowell 29:33  It's brain dump total, brain dump.Lesley Logan 29:34  Such a great brain dump and then you know what your top five priorities are boom, way to go. It helps to underscore the importance of having clear tangible steps and a pathway to achieving your personal goals. So way to go Tamika, you're so fun. I'm so glad that James introduced us. I'm glad you put yourself out there so that you could be on this podcast and I'm excited for what you're doing.Brad Crowell 29:54  Yeah, it was great.Lesley Logan 29:55  It was great. We love it.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we discuss all the off-the-field news surrounding the Rapids. Rabbi and Red start by discussing the 1-1 draw at FC Dallas. It was good to see Rafael Navarro finally score a goal. Then Matt pours one (non-alcoholic) out for Rapids 2 after their 0-0 (1-4) loss to Austin FC II in the Western Conference Final. We discuss what went wrong, why it was such a close game, and the missed opportunity for R2 to honor this season that was filled with so much joy and success. Then we look ahead to the coaching search news. Chris Little, Jack Wilshire, and Efrain Juarez have all been linked. We go over their resumes, flaws, and what we think. Mark actually likes the Wilshire idea. Next we talk Victory Crossing. The Denver Post had a front page article in the Sunday edition about that and that was followed by a spicy district meeting in which Commerce City Mayor Benjamin Huseman went off. Lastly, we preview the weekend with Colorado hosting Real Salt Lake on Decision Day. Colorado Springs Switchbacks and Northern Colorado Hailstorm have USL playoff games as well.

Generating excitement and creating FOMO are great ways to market your offer. Spending three months hyping up a new offer led to this subscription box owner's dream of selling her own pillow designs coming true. And… It resulted in selling 750 pillow subscriptions in only five days. The best part? She doesn't have to pack or ship a thing.  I'm so excited to welcome Stacey Collins to the podcast again as my first-ever three-time guest! Stacey is also a member of Launch Your Box, Scale Your Box, and my Elevate Mastermind!

But when the demands of fulfilling a highly curated box started to outweigh the benefits, she changed gears. Stacey shut down that physical description but soon turned to a different type of description - a monthly digital subscription. Today, Stacey has more than 2,000 digital subscribers!  Earlier this year, Stacey and I were talking about her business and she shared her long-held dream of selling her own decorative pillows. Stacey LOVES pillows. Her audience knows she loves pillows and so many of them do, too. What Stacey doesn't love is packing and shipping large numbers of products. There was an easy solution to Stacey's problem. Using a fulfillment company. I connected her with a fulfillment center I interviewed on episode 61 of this podcast.  The fulfillment center was the perfect solution. Stacey designs the pillow covers and works closely with the manufacturer to make sure the design and quality of the pillow covers are exactly what she wants. Then the pillow covers are shipped directly to the fulfillment center where they are packed and shipped, again to Stacey's specifications.  Stacey initially set a launch goal of 500 subscriptions. I challenged her to increase that goal because I knew what a large, engaged audience she had. And I knew she was going to follow my 5-day launch plan to a tee. And she did.  Stacey's biggest challenge? Launching without having anything to show her audience. The pillow covers needed to be a surprise. She had a few sneak peeks to share but relied on the trust she'd built with her audience to convince them to take this leap with her. Stacey spent THREE MONTHS creating excitement around her big announcement. She got her already highly engaged audience excited, built anticipation, and created FOMO.  And when Stacey did launch? She sold 750 pillow subscriptions in only 5 days!  Join me for this episode and learn what drives Stacey to continue to find new ways to serve her audience and grow her subscription business, and find out how close she is to hitting her goal of 1000 pillow subscriptions.  Find and follow Stacey:  Wilshire Collections on Instagram Wilshire Collections on Facebook  Wilshire Collections Website The Pillow Cover Club Join me in all the places:  Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

US Advantages I always enjoy seeing advantages of the United States over China. In the recent book “Chip War” written by Chris Miller he writes that across the entire semiconductor supply chain, including chip design, intellectual property, tools, fabrication and other steps, the Chinese only has a 6% market share. That compares to 39% for the US, South Korea at 16% and Taiwan at 12%. The author also points out as China pushes forward with cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and AI its market share will continue to grow. The x86 server chips will be the workhorse of modern data centers which are dominated by AMD and Intel.   Snacking in the US I can't remember the last time I had a Twinkie, but apparently, I'm in the minority. The snack business overall in the US is up 8% in the past two years with consumers eating three or more snacks a day. Overall, US snacks increased by 11% last year to a total of $181 billion. The demand has led to 1 million Twinkies being produced each day. This could be why J.M. Smucker recently paid $4.6 billion for Hostess brands which over the last 15 years has filed bankruptcy twice. Twinkies were started back in the 1920s by James Dewar who delivered pound cakes from a horse drawn carriage. If you want to know where the name Twinkie came from, Mr. Dewar came up with the idea after passing a billboard for Twinkie toes shoes. He thought Twinkies would be a great name for a snack. Hostess which owns Twinkies filed for bankruptcy back in 2004 and again in 2012 after the company failed due to a strike over a labor deal with the Baker's union. It looks like this time being owned by J.M. Smucker; Twinkies will last longer. You may not know this, but they also prolonged the life of a Twinkie from 26 days to now they will last on the shelf for 65 days. I guess I will have to try a Twinkie and bring back the days of my school lunches when I was a kid.   Stock Market You may be worried about investing because of the high levels of the stock market. At Wilsey Asset Management, we have talked about how it's an overconcentrated market and overall, it is still expensive. Famed investor Warren Buffet also feels the market is expensive, he has what's known as the Buffet indicator, which he uses to see when the market is expensive. He compares the Wilshire 5000 index to the GDP of the country. The perfect market price is when the market has the same value as the GDP. Buffet points out that the Wilshire 5000 is currently $49 trillion, well above the GDP at $26.9 trillion. To bring the Buffet indicator from a high level of 182% down to 100%, the market would need a decline of 45%. No one, including Buffet, expects to see a 45% decline in the market. What I have said, and agree with Warren Buffett on is that for the next 5 to 10 years we will not have much of a gain in the overall market as the GDP will increase to catch up to the index and normalize the ratio. To make money in your portfolio going forward one must remember it is not a stock market, but a market of stocks and one has to find good stocks that are of good value with good dividends. This will bring the investor better returns over the next 5 to 10 years.   Financial Planning: Premium Financed Life Insurance Cash value life insurance is sometimes sold as a retirement planning vehicle. Premiums are paid with after-tax dollars which covers the fees, cost of insurance, and builds cash value. If enough cash value is accumulated, you can take out loans against it, which is not taxable because it is technically debt. In retirement, the cash value can continue to grow tax deferred while loans can be structured as a “tax-free” income source. The loan balance increases from the withdrawals and compounding interest, but the income/loans may continue as long as the loan balance does not exceed the cash value of the policy. At death, the life insurance death benefit is used to pay off the outstanding loan balance. One challenge for these types of plans is they require substantial amounts of cash value collateral to produce a worthwhile income stream. To build the necessary cash value, extremely large premiums are required which can be difficult to add into someone's budget. This is where premium-financed life insurance comes in. Instead of the policy owner paying the premiums themselves, they obtain a 3rd party loan to pay the high premiums and then make payments on that loan. The hope is that the cash value will grow faster than the loan balance and at some point in the future, a second loan can be taken against the insurance cash value to repay the loan used to pay the premiums. At that point, additional loans can be taken from the cash value to produce the “tax-free retirement income”. It may go without saying but this type of plan can get complicated and risky pretty quickly. If structured correctly and with some luck, this strategy can produce some retirement income, but there are so many areas where it can fail, and when you invest using debt and fail, the losses are compounded. High net worth and accredited investors can be attracted to these plans from believing they need a more sophisticated and tax-advantaged strategy, and advisors are happy to sell them because of the massive commissions that come along. However, these plans are extremely risky and in pretty much every case there is a more appropriate alternative.

Alex Philips fills us in on the latest developments in Burleson, including the old FUMC lot and the new development at Wilshire and Summercrest.

On this weeks episode we dive into deep waters, from the mysterious abyss of our oceans to the dark corners of high finance and even the sinister secrets of the world's powerful elites. First, submerge with us into the enigmatic ocean depths, as we discuss the lost submarine on a peculiar Titanic expedition, intriguing sounds echoing from the underwater world every half hour, and the captivating possibility of aquatic extraterrestrials. Next, we resurface into the complex world of politics and economics, discussing a shocking $6.2 billion Pentagon accounting 'error' benefitting Ukraine, and exposing a candid conversation of a BlackRock recruiter that confirms our worst suspicions. From there, we delve into a grim criminal case: the sentencing of a CNN producer for child sex crimes and the disconcerting links to Ghislaine Maxwell. The trail of darkness doesn't end there - if you're game to stick around, we're ready to delve into a thought-provoking discussion on potential global blackmail, secret military bases, and mind control. So before we set sail on this daunting voyage, hit that subscribe button, and then, if you're a regular listener, help us by leaving a five-star review. Buckle up for a journey that could take us to the brink of what we know and understand about our world - who knows where we'll end up?   All Links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Merch: https://antielite.club Substack: https://austinadams.substack.com ----more---- Full Transcription:   The Adams archive.  Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on this week's episode. Second episode, we are going to be going into the deep, dark depths, not just of the ocean, discussing the recently lost. Submarine that was down for some reason, looking at the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. So we will discuss that. We are also going to discuss the weird noises that they're hearing every 30 minutes coming from the depths of the ocean when they've been on this hunt. As well as my, uh, hopeful, uh, dream that this ends in us figuring out that we have had undersea aliens this entire time that rescue this mission. So we'll talk about that and then we're gonna jump into some other topics, including, uh, the Pentagon announcing that there was an accounting error providing an extra 6.2 billion to Ukraine. That is quite an accounting error and I betcha nobody lost their job cuz they did exactly what they were supposed to do. Then speaking of large finances, a BlackRock employee. Came out and well didn't come out. He was, uh, thinking he was on the date with somebody from O'Keefe Media, the former head of Project Veritas, uh, started O'Keefe Media Group and caught somebody from BlackRock, a BlackRock recruiter saying everything that we already knew, but just from the perspective of an employee there. So we'll discuss that. Then we will get into the depths of the conversation where we're going to talk about the CNN producer who was sentenced to 19 years in prison for child sex crimes. Then we'll get into his relationship or his wife's relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell as there's some photos that we will discuss surrounding that. And then if we're feeling frisky and you stick with me the whole time, we might just talk about the blackmail that is running the world underground military bases. Alice in Wonderland, trauma-based mind control programming and the mind control running our world. I came across an interesting Reddit thread that led me down some rabbit holes that we will explore together if you stick around. So first thing I need you to do is head over to the.

All right. I would appreciate it. From the bottom of my beautifully large heart. All right,  today's podcast, we're going deep. Let's jump into it.    The Adams archive.  All right, let's get right into it. If you have not heard yet, which you probably have because everybody's talking about it, there was a group of, well, one, I believe it was Iranian or Israeli billionaire, as well as some other crazy ass people who decided to put their life on the line to go look at a screen in the submarine to take a look at the Titanic. These people must really love Leonardo DiCaprio because it cost around $250,000 just to go on this excursion. Pretty wild that this many people at one time would actually go and do that. Um, so I am reading this article from Real News, no Bullshit, which just came up with a bullshit. Uh, Pop up saying that I'm not subscribed, which I am. So hold on one second while I go ahead and click that beautiful button. All right, there we go. Now this article says, US Coast Guard leads urgent search for Titanic viewing submarine. It goes on to say, A rescue operation led by the US Coast Guard with Canadian support began on Monday in the Atlantic Ocean to find a submersible vessel used for Titanic exploration, which was reported missing on Sunday evening south of St. John's, new Finland, interesting Open gate expeditions. The company that owns the Submersible Con, uh, confirmed the search for its five person vessel and expressed concerns for the crew and their families. Wow. Keeps wanting me to sign in, even though I'm already signed in. Come on real news. Um, let me just give you my breakdown while this is pulling up. So basically, these four crazy ass dudes went down with this other crazy ass dude who owns a submarine, and he takes people down to go see the Titanic. Now, when you think of a, when you think of a submarine, usually you think of this big, beautiful thing with like a, you know, a little tube coming out the top of it, and sonar and all this wild other shit. This doesn't have that. This looks like a tin can wrapped in duct tape. And by the way, the way that he controls this thing is with a PlayStation and controller, a literal Bluetooth PlayStation controller. And also the only thing that these four guys can actually see is TV screens. They're sitting in this like seven by four box together with four other people looking at TV screens. They can't even actually see the Titanic. There's like a, a heat, um, camera and like IR camera that they can actually see the Titanic with out of a screen. They don't actually get to go view it themselves. They sit there with a remote control. You could have taken a drone, just get a drone for 250 grand. You probably could have bought seven of them. What the hell are you doing? Putting yourself in danger this way. These guys look stoked though. Um, so this article's backed up and it's gone. So let's find another one. Um, we'll just move on from real news cuz that's, uh, making me irritated. All right, so it says it was a suicide mission, said the German adventurer recalling his past experience aboard the Titanic, exploring submersible now lost at sea. So this is somebody else that came out and talked about this and this man says, And this is coming from the post-millennial. It starts off by saying, while an international effort is underway to rescue those on board, the Titanic exploring submersible that has been lost at sea, a German adventurer who once went on the same exploration called the voyage a suicide mission as officials raced against time before the vessel loses its oxygen supply, Arthur Lobel told the German outlet build that. He went on the voyage in August of 2021 and immediately noticed a flu, a slew of concerning red flags. And here's a little bit from Fox News. What could possibly have happened? Uh, uh, worst, worst situation is, you know, something happened to the hull. And, uh, and our fear is, is it, you know, it imploded at around 3,200 meters. And is there anything that the US Navy can do right now? No. No. I mean, I. I don't see anything that can happen at this point. I mean, I'm trying to be, you know, somewhat cautious and, you know, don't want to basically be the naysayer of what's going on. But I, when you're talking 6,000 pounds per square wrench, it is a dangerous environment. More people have been to outer space than to this depth of the ocean. And when you're diving in these situations, you have to, you have to cross your, cross, your t's, dot your i's, you have to do everything absolutely perfect and by the book. And, you know, throw in a bunch of tourists in a new sub that, you know, was just created over the last several years. Um, it, it's not looking good, Jesse. Alright, well thanks for joining us in this, uh, tender time and we're gonna be praying for everybody on that sub. Thanks. Wow. That's a shocking thing to say that more people have been to outer space than have been to the same depths of the ocean as they took this tin can with a PlayStation controller. Imagine paying $250,000 just to go to your own death. Now, there was far more pressing things that went on this week, including Hunter Biden essentially getting off, uh, during a, um, hearing where he pled guilty to two charges, um, for tax evasion among several other things like I posted about. Um, so this is not to take away from those things, but this is what everybody's talking about. So here we are for very, very rich people are sitting very, very deep under the ocean. Now, again, that's not to take away from the fact that this is tragic and horrible, um, cause I can't imagine the, the, the amount of stress and anxiety and the, the, you know, if, if they're alive right now. Um, currently as we're having this discussion and conversation, they're running out of air. So, terrible, terrible. But this goes on to say, The that, uh, he was recalling his experience on board the Titans submersible that tours the famous Titanic wreckage, 12,000 feet below sea level. It was a suicide mission. He exclaimed the first submarine, didn't work, then a dive at 1600 meters had to be abandoned. Lobel told the outlet that he went on the underwater expedition with two passengers that are currently trapped aboard this missing vessel French Titanic expert Paul Harvey n Gillette 73, and Ocean Gate CEO Stockton Rush 61. The two men are trapped with three other passengers in this vessel, which authorities believe to be located around 350 miles off the coast of Canada, excuse me. And it says, while the vessel was about to launch mobile explained that the submersible had a series of electrical issues, which resulted in a five hour delay. In addition to those issues, the entrepreneur who paid $110,000 for his ticket said that the bracket of the stabilization tube had to be reattached with zip ties. The stabilization tube balances the submarine according to the outlet. You need strong nerves. You mustn't be claustrophobic and you have to be able to sit cross-legged for 10 hours. He said, of his experience, it must be held down there. There's about 2.5 meters of space. It's four degrees. There's no chair and no toilet. Those aboard. The Titans submersible, which has been missing since Sunday, include a British billionaire, Harnish Harding, Pakistani businessman should zdi de wood and his 19 year old son and the two passengers previously mentioned. As of Tuesday afternoon, the submersible has around 41 hours of oxygen supply left and it is now Wednesday. Uh, they're looking at maybe 16 hours or so. Um, depending on how good you are in math. So, um, this also says that, uh, another article, and this one coming from The Daily Wire says that authorities don't know what's causing underwater banging. As experts rush to determine if sound comes from these Titanic sub, the US Coast Guard is still trying to determine if the underwater noises picked up by sonar planes. Tuesday came from the missing Titanic submersible. The search and rescue teams detected banging sounds in 30 minute intervals near where the five passengers aboard the Titanic sub went missing. During a Wednesday afternoon press conference, coast Guard Captain Jamie Fredericks said that the team of experts is listening to recordings of the baning sounds picking up by search and rescue teams, but added we don't know what they are. To be frank with you at the news conference, Carl Hartsford of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute said it's possible for underwater animals to make noises that sound like they came from humans. A Canadian airplane picked up the underwater noises on Tuesday, resulting in the search team focusing their operation on the area where the sounds came from. According to Frederick, there are five surface assets and two remotely operated vehicles searching for the submersible to Titan. Five more assets are respected to join the search in the next two days. The Coast Guard captain said that the search operation was still a 100% search and rescue mission added, that we need to have hope. According to the Coast Guard estimates, the five passengers reported the Titan have less than 24 hours of oxygen. Remaining. Rescue teams initially were searching an area roughly the size of Connecticut after the vessel went missing. In the last ditch effort, he came, uh, began Wednesday involving heavy machinery and submarines that involved the new Funland on Tuesday night. Now, according to, uh, according to, who is it, what is the fella I'm thinking of? Um, lemme see. I forget who had mentioned this. Let's see. All right. Yeah, that's who it was. It was according to Dan Crenshaw, the, the US Coast Guard has a very, very able bodied sub, uh, submarine that they could send down there with plenty more capabilities than they're willing to, and they decided not to. So that's unfortunate for these people. Um, but you know, like I talked about, I I, the underwater banging is, is, is interesting here. Now, obviously, it's probably most likely not the submarine, and it's probably something else potentially, as that person pointed out, sea creatures. But what I like to think is gonna end up as the result of this is, you know, how, how many times have we seen that aliens or U f O aircraft drop underneath the water surface? So maybe just maybe. You know, let's call back, go back to Project Bluebeam and say maybe our underwater friends that are dropping down from the sky are going to pick up this submarine and drop it just politely back onto the White House lawn and greet us and then have a hologram in the sky and then, you know, start their takeover. So maybe this is the intro to that. Probably not. Uh, anyways, let's move on. The Pentagon announced a accounting error, which provided an extra $6.2 billion for Ukraine. 6.2 billion and that's an accounting error, 6.2 billion. Could you imagine if you worked for a finance company and you messed up so bad that you gave somebody 6.2 billion extra? That's probably never happened ever in the history of finance. 6.2 billion. What type of accounting error could that have been and does anybody actually believe that it's an accounting error? Because I, I don't think there's probably a single person in the White House or the Pentagon that you could find that actually agrees with that statement. How stupid do you think the American people are that they, that you believe that we would believe you after all things that we've found out about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, the White House, the military industrial complex with Ukraine, that this came from the result of, oops, press the wrong button. Darn it. Not another $6 billion. How, how dumb do you think the American people are that you can come up here and make a statement like that? Speaking of statements, let's go ahead and listen in. Oddly following up from, um, some announcements earlier this year, during the department's regular over of presidential drawdown authority for Ukraine, we discovered inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine in a significant number of cases, services used replacement costs rather than netbook value, thereby overestimating the value of the equipment drawn down from US stocks and provided to Ukraine. Once we discovered this misvaluation, the comptroller reissued guidance on March 31st, clarifying how to value equipment in line with the financial management regulation and D O D policy to ensure we use the most accurate of accounting methods. We have confirmed that for F Y 23, the final calculation is 3.6 billion, and for F y 22, it is 2.6 billion for a combined total of 6.2 billion. These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine. And while the d o d, while the d O D retains the authority to utilize the recaptured P D A, this has no bearing on appropriated U S A I or Ukraine P D a replenishment funding approved by Congress. Oh, okay. You just throw out a bunch of acronyms, so we don't know what you're saying, but I know what you're saying, lady. Could you imagine being her? It's like her first day and they just have to, they're like, okay, by the way, I, I know. Here's your notes. And but also we need to do to tell the American people that she, that we accidentally miscalculated $6.2 billion of their tax money and just sent it to Ukraine. What a, what an interesting first day that must have been for this woman. I'm sure it wasn't her first day, but you know, it's the first time I've seen her. Uh, anyways, this goes on to say, and this comes from DC dno. He says, insane Pentagon announces an overpayment of 6.2 billion to Ukrainian calls it an accounting error. How much do you want to bet? A good chunk of that accounting error landed in the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs. Yep. Wow. All right. Now let's, let's talk about this because if you or I make a. Error on our tax returns resulting in, let's say, let's just use a, let's use a crazy number here. $60,000, $60,000 accounting error. That wouldn't be a small percentage fraction of what happened here. Let's just use 10,000, let's use 10,000 here. If you miscalculated your taxes by $10,000, the IRS, as we found out recently, can literally knock down your door with weapons drawn as they did to a gun store owner recently. But they make a $6.2 billion error and, you know, make it a one minute conversation in the press conference. At what point do, do we reclaim our tax system? Right? What I find to be the craziest thing, like the federal income tax, like when, when was the federal income tax created? Cause I believe it was like the fricking eighties or something. Might even be later than that. It says, in American, the first American income tax was imposed during the Civil War in 1861 with flat 3% tax on all incomes, over $800. Um, so not the eighties, but it wasn't officially enacted that we know it today until 1913 was when the federal income taxes, we know it now, was officially enacted. That was literally your great grandparents didn't have to deal with the federal income tax. And now you have people giving 40% of their income to the government, and they're misspending it on proxy wars so that Hunter Biden can smoke meth off of a stripper's butt cheek in dunes. Meanwhile, they'll kick down your door over $10,000 miscalculation on your taxes. The, the whole federal income tax thing is, you know, I, I cannot believe we're in a place now where they take such a large percentage of your money, and yet we have to sit here and listen to the nonsense that they talked to us about, where they take that tax money that they would've, you know, put you in jail if you didn't tell them about, and then send it to wherever this fictitional places where these, you know, billionaires in, in Ukraine could get their hands on it. Or, or even worse yet, the military industrial complex, uh, in organizations of the world. Now speaking of the people who own those, of the military industrial complex, you know, the, the Raytheons, the, uh, you know, basically the stark industries of 2023. Let's watch this video that comes from O'Keefe Media Group, uh, in James O'Keefe, where BlackRock employee, a BlackRock recruiter decides, uh, who decides people's fate says war is good for business in undercover business or undercover footage. Let's watch it. They don't wanna be in the news. They, they don't want people to talk about 'em. They don't wanna be anywhere on, on the radar. Why not I on film? But I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it. All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. You can take this big ton of money and then you can start to buy people. I work for, uh, a company called BlackRock Meets Varley, a recruiter at BlackRock. Lemme tell you's not who is the president, it's who's controlling the, the wallet. And if you didn't just hear that, because he's speaking very low in a restaurant, he says, let me tell you, it's not who the president is. It's who's controlling the wallet of the president. This recruiter for BlackRock says it's, it's And who's that? The hedge funds, the banks. These guys campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your candidates. Obviously we have the system in place first. There's the Senate, so these guys, you got 10 grand you can buy. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I did to be done. Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? It doesn't matter if who lens you're So they're, they're my father. Here's Serge Varley. On how good war is for Black Rocks business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? Yeah. I mean, I, I do have thoughts. What, what am I, Ukraine is good for business, you know? Right. I'll give an example. Russia. Russia blows up Ukraine. US price of wheat's gonna go mad up. Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market. Mm-hmm. Prices of bread, of, you know, literally everything is goes up. Now, this is fantastic. If you're trading, volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is no good for, for business. It's exciting when, right. Rock rack manages 20 trillions. It's in comprehensive numbers. BlackRocks Varley says all of this is above a normal person's understanding. You're like a undercover reporter. This is, this is beyond them. The whole thing of like domination forum, a concept said you're like an undercover reporter. Yeah. No shit buddy. Yeah, and you're pretty smart for picking up on that and still talking this entire time. He said war is good for business and that BlackRock manages 20 trillion trillion dollars in assets. So interesting. Hi, I'm James O'Keefe with OMG News. Here we are with our latest story this time on BlackRock, one of the world's leading asset and investment managers, which owns significant shares of companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Anheuser-Busch, meta Target, Proctor and Gamble, Comcast, cnn, Fox, and yes, Pfizer, just to name a few. At OMG, we do not shy away from exposing powerful companies, and we're not afraid of powerful people. So we decided to take a look for ourselves of the influence BlackRock has on our politics and the influence they have on our culture. So to do that, what better place to start a hidden camera investigator. I'm the person who, he funds people from other firms. So I would approach and be, Hey, this is a good reason why you should come for us, Serge tells us who really runs the world, how they do it, and just how much it costs to buy. People like politicians, let tell you, it's not the who's the president, it's who's controlling the, the wallet. It's, it's the, and who's that? The hedge funds cloth, the banks, these guys. And if you think of that, it's not really. The banks, the hedge funds, it's the people who own the banks and who own the hedge funds, who are sitting in the boardroom when they're having strategy discussions about how to rig the next election, allegedly, right? It's the people who are sitting there trying to figure out whether they're going to put pride stuff at the front of Target when they own it. It's the people who decide the, uh, you know, what is it? The c e I scores is now going to be the next way that a company gets funding, right? So it's not, it's not the entity. That's making these decisions. It's the people in the strategy meetings at these board rooms that are making these decisions. And, and the people at the strategy of those board rooms only sit there as long as the owners of these companies, the the highest up people within these companies, the, the families who started them, the, the head of those families, like the Rockefellers, like the, the Rothchilds, like the George Soros says, who determine the fate of humanity, who determine the fate of our country, who determine the fate of these wars. Because whether they wanna fund one side or the other, they're both gonna win, right? They're, they're still gonna make profits either way, just as he talked about. So whether they're, they're investing on wheat or they're shorting wheat when they know there's about to be an airstrike on a major wheat, uh, you know, silo. That determines the Ukrainian uh, economy, right? So you get, you get Raytheon or you get, you know what, whatever the, you know, military industrial complex is making strategic decisions or, or giving strategic advice to these companies, and also pumping them full of missiles. And then they make these decisions about where they're going to strike, and that causes changes in what happens to the economy, which they then short or, or invest in the stocks of each side making money knowing what's about to happen. So the longer that these wars go on, and the longer that they have a say in the strategy of these wars, the more profits they make. So when you figure it out from that perspective, and then you understand that that's what you're sending your sons or your daughter into when, when it comes to being in the military, uh, maybe it's time to second guess whether, you know, that's what's in their best interest, especially when they only generally go after, you know, lower income families. You know, literally, I, I can't tell you how crazy it is to have a, uh, recruiter. Come to a, uh, you know, a high school that you're at and, and put a pull up bar there. Like, you know, show me how tough you are and then throw a fucking t-shirt at you and then try to recruit you so you can go shoot some, you know, somebody with a different religion who was born in the different side of the world than you, uh, for them to make profits. Right? It's just so messed up. So let's see if there's anything else interesting in this, and then we'll wrap it up and move into our next topic. Campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your can. So how so all of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. How do they run the world? You acquire stuff, you diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring. You spend whatever you make in acquiring more. And at a certain point, your rest club is, is super low. Like imagine you've invested in, um, like 10 different industries from food to. To drinks to like technology. Right? One, one of them fails. It doesn't matter. You have nine others to back you up. Risk management is, is inherently just about everything. And in the finance space, it's all about, it's, it's, well, it's all about the money you make. You don't, you don't let it sit. Yeah. Like you keep using it over and over and just reinvest. Yeah. And exponential growth. And then once you just own a little bit of everything, is that where the control, yeah. You own a little bit of everything and a little bit of everything Gives you so much money on a yearly basis that you can take this big ton of money and then you can start to buy people. Obviously we have this system in place first. There's the senate and these guys, you got 10 grand, you can buy a, it doesn't matter who wins. They're still not, they're, they're my father. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I gonna do what needs to be done. Like yeah, of course. Why not? Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? The BlackRock recruiter also tells us about how the US government relies on BlackRock for their economic simulation, computational power, economic simulation. They need to understand the impact of something, right? They're gonna like raise the interest, for example. Mm-hmm. It's gonna create this cascade of various factors that aren't, they're not sure what's gonna do, basically, and just how freaking great the Ukraine war is for business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? All right. So it looks like he's just going over everything that they already showed in the first part of the video, but good on. O'Keefe Media Group, it's, it shames me to not be able to say Project Veritas cause those words have been slipping from my mouth for so long. Um, but good on James O'Keefe for pivoting from Project Veritas so quickly and then coming up with these amazing stories as well. Uh, so now let's go ahead and jump into the next portion of this discussion, which is going to be where we start to get a little deep, not quite as deep as the submarine just yet, but you'll see where this goes. Alright, so this says, disgraced former c n n producer sentenced to 19 years in prison for child sex crimes. Now, I don't know about you, but I am not surprised. All right, so let's go ahead. And see what this article has to say. And it says, former CNN producer John Griffin has been sentenced to 19 years in prison on Tuesday for committing child sex crimes in Vermont. John Griffin, 45 convinced, confessed to coercing a woman online to bringing her 19, her nine year old daughter to Ludlow, Vermont for illicit acts. Wow, that's horrible. The US Attorney's office for the District of Vermont charged Griffin with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful activity in 2021. However, Griffin entered entered into a plea agreement in December, and the government dropped two additional charges for enticing a minor after he confessed his crimes. Now, one thing to mention in a segue with that other portion of this is that BlackRock owns C Nnn and hired this man a criminal, you know, and also they own Target and every other one that's pushing, you know, uh, All of the pride materials and drag shows for children within their brands. A criminal complaint filed by the state, uh, of Nevada against a mother accused of pimping her nine year old daughter out to CNN Strong Griffin, and revealed that authorities arrested the mother in August, 2020 and CS Griffin's devices the following month. This means that law enforcement allegedly knew about Griffin's abuse for more than a year before arresting him. Court records reveal that Griffin paid the mother to fly with the girls from Nevada to Boston, where the girls said Griffin assaulted her. According to court documents, federal investigators seized computer storage, media devices, phones, cameras, micro SD cards, images, and video from Griffin on September 2nd. The in indictment alleged that Griffin lured a mother and her underage daughter to his home for the purposes of abuse in July, 2020. Man, I, I can't even read this whole thing. Geez. All right. So no surprises there that somebody from cnn, nonetheless, the one pushing pride, the one pu pushing the trans agenda, pushing sex changes in children, all of that is somehow or another in intertwined in into some shape or form of actively sexually assaulting minors. And what we find out too, as we go a little deeper into this ocean of information, is that the convicted CNN producer and former CNN's president's wife was connected to Epstein. So the same man that was the producer for CNN, who got 19 years in prison, just sentenced to him for sex crimes against children's wife was friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. And now you start to see where all these little spiderwebs come together. Now there's a picture here that was posted now, um, posted by an anonymous source on, uh, Twitter, but it has photos and it says, we found photos of Ghislaine Maxwell Epstein's co-conspirator, socializing with Jeff's zucker's wife, Karen Zucker. For context, Jeff Zucker is the current president of C Nnn. Now, this man doesn't seem to be, have been trafficking this child this same way, so he was involved in the same trafficking ring. And you wonder why C Nnn was not covering Epstein's trial or his murder properly. It's because the producer's wife was best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell, and now he's finally being convicted on separate charges. But if they would just open the book and let us know who was actually a part of the sex trafficking ring of Epstein, maybe this would've happened. We would've found this out prior to this child getting assaulted. Maybe we would've found this out prior to all of the assaults that have happened since then, and they still won't release the documents. They still won't go after the Johns. They still won't go after the people that were in Epstein's book. They still will not release the flight logs so that you can actually find it out, and they still won't go after them legally. Why? Especially when almost in every account of Epstein people talk about him having videotapes and videos to blackmail these people. Now, what we come to find out later, as so many people have talked about prior, is that it's very likely. That Epstein was an asset of three letter agencies. Somewhere in the world could even be the United States. Some people seem to believe it was Maad. Some people seem to believe that he was a part of several. But the idea here is that Epstein was leveraging children and these type of sexual acts with all of the people that he's flown out to that island, including Bill Gates, whose wife left him for being associated with Jeff Jeffrey Epstein, the way that he was, including Steven Hawking, including Alec Baldwin, including Hil, uh Clinton, including almost every single person we know now to be true that has been convicted within Hollywood for assault on children. Or child pornography. How many of these assaults, how many of these children would've been saved from these acts if our institution, our government, these three letter agencies did their job and actually went after this list of people that they so clearly know were a part of this? And why would you not do that unless you were in some way, shape, or form involved? Right? And this kind of goes back to the John F. Kennedy, uh, assassination. Now, I'm not saying for certain that the CIA was the ones who decided to pull the trigger on this. Now it's very compelling that they might have been the ones to decide that. But what we do know 100% is that they at least covered some of their tracks. We do know that they dropped the, the magic bullet. Into the gurney. We do know that they, they placed people in positions to be able to cover up the tracks by, by having them go out with the coroners and have the autopsy done by somebody who was in their pocket. So whether he was a controlled asset of these three letter agencies, or whether they were just covering their tracks because they were somehow associated in the spiderweb of horrificness that was happening here, that's, that's yet to be told. But what we do know is there is some association with some type of entity, because they knew this about Jeffrey Epstein for the longest time, and how many children continued to be horrifically, horrifically assaulted, how many child child's lives were ruined, how many children were flown to an island while the ccia, the fbi, and all of these other organizations knew everything about it. So that leads us into our next conversation. Um, which was a comment off of that Reddit thread. Um, so here we go. It says, an overview of the blackmail running our world. And this speaks to the things that I was just talking about. It says, this post is an overview of the blackmail tactics used to control the most influential people in governments around the world. Obviously, I cannot cover everything in a single post, so as with my previous post, I highly encourage you to research further yourself. All sources and links are at the bottom of the post. An understanding of what trauma-based mind control programming MK Ultra slash Monarch is and how it works is again, necessary to understand much of this. My other posts are here. The world is run on blackmail, mind control and shame. There exists many collections of videotapes of high up people engaging in some of the worst sickest things imaginable. Now, to preempt this, I'm not condoning that all of this is true. I'm simply reading you something that I found online. Um, but there seems to be a lot of evidence and, and there seems to be a lot of people who seem, who, who agree with this position. Uh, so here's some of the information that people believe drugs, torture, pedophilia and murder are common themes to these videos. These tapes are in the hands of many different people, groups, and especially intelligence agencies. Honey trap operations are constantly being run to gather, compromising, and incriminating evidence on people of importance. Child slaves will be used to compromise people on video. Global leaders are often covertly, videotaped, doing perverted things with slaves sent to them by intelligence agencies, the Illuminati, Illuminati, or other groups. And this is then leveraged. Uh, one of the most repulsive things possible that you can do is many times filmed to ensure future compliance. Then he goes on, or she goes on in this, to quote many people discussing these things, uh, whether they were c i a, assets intelligence agencies that they worked for, um, or others, x m i six. Uh, and then they, he actually, or she actually names these people. But, uh, I don't want to get too into the weeds on these, but I'll read you a couple and, and hopefully the, the most important ones are at the top. This is back in 1966. Oh, let's see if this is where we wanna start. Back in 1966, Rothstein became the first police detective assigned to investigate the prostitution industry almost immediately, that he discovered an underground sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes. Human compromise is what he was labeled the honey trap process. Rothstein and his colleagues found that approximately 70% of the top US government leaders were compromised In this way, Rothstein said the CIA conducted the human compromise operation while the FBI was tasked with covering up any leaks. Wow. It says Fiona Barnett. Let's see if we can get a who that actually is for you guys. Uh, Fiona Barnett. She's in a documentary called Candy Girl. Let's see if we can watch a couple minutes of that. Let's get some context. Extraordinary claims coming out of Canberra tonight with a former Prime Minister allegedly on a list of suspected pedophiles liberal Senator Bill Heffernan, who is pushing for the child abuse Royal Commission to include the legal profession. Told an explosive Senate hearing. He has a police list of 28 prominent suspects. There's a former Prime Minister on this list and it is a police document. And now I'd like to introduce to you Fiona Barnett. That's B a r n e t, who is one of the bravest people you will ever have the privilege to meet. Throughout my childhood, I was a victim of Australia's v i p child sex trafficking ring. For example, I was prostituted to pedophile parties at Parliament House Canberra, and to an international leader at Fair Bain Military Airport. The people involved in this elite pedophile ring included high ranking politicians, police, and judiciary. From the late 1980s, I reported my abuse experiences to multiple healthcare professionals, not one of whom adhered to mandatory reporting requirements. I reported to New South Wales Police in 2008. I reported to the Royal Commission in 2012. I reported to operation of test in Canberra. I made formal witness statements to New South Wales Police and have agreed to do more. I've reported directly to the New South Wales and Federal Police Commissioners and to the New South Wales coroner. I have provided sufficient names, times, dates, and places for authorities to investigate. My experiences were hor horrific beyond words. I witnessed child abduction, torture, rape, murder, but. The way I've been treated for reporting the crimes I witnessed and experienced has been far worse than my original abuse experiences. Victims endure the most miserable childhoods. We then spend the rest of our lives paying for the crimes committed against us. Victims are constantly placed under excessive scrutiny. If we can't provide a precise time and date for something that happened 40 years ago, we are called liars. If we get emotional, we're labeled crazy. If we are vocal, we're just attention seekers. It's time to focus our attention away from victims and onto those responsible for the crimes against children. In the 2006 census, Australians identified child protection as their number one concern. Why then does our government continue to ignore the public's concern for children? Australia is a pedophile haven. Our laws are written, interpreted, and administered in a way that benefits pedophiles and silences victims of crime, teach pro pedophilia material, our health boards. Now, the man that she accused of being one of her abusers was Nicole Kidman's dad, who eventually fled to Singapore as a result of these accusations and was mysteriously dead. So that's an interesting piece of the puzzle that I just read. Wow. Crazy. I believe, uh, she wrote something called Eyes Wide. Sh No, that's not her. Okay. Uh, random book. Um, so. There's a big grab a hole there with her. Just, just her, you know, um, justice Scalia was mentioned under her name several times. Uh, several different things. So, so just to show you that there's validity in merit to the person that he is quoting here in just one of these, one of these subsections. So I, I, I didn't have any research on her or any of this prior to that, so, um, but just googling that name, you can find validity to it. And, and here we go. And we'll read some of the. Next parts of this here. Uh, but let's, let's read what, what she had to say about that. Um, and, and maybe I'll give a couple more reads of this. She said, one of the things that I found out over the last 10 years of studying governments and listening to intelligence and counterintelligence agencies is that those in government are sexually compromised and their sexual secrets are collected, and then they are promoted into governments and into ju judiciaries and into all the positions of importance. Pedophilia is the preferred dirt as it is easily photographed, easily presented in a range of media, immensely shameful, and the public demands your resignation. The next person quoted here is Greg Hallett. Paul Bacci, one of the victim witnesses. Of the Franklin Affair. Also clearly stated Larry King used him in blackmail operations in New York, in Washington. The latter was in connection with the activities of a close associate of Larry King Craig Spence, who was involved in the prostitution ring consisting of underage boys that were supplied to Washington's upper class, which went right up to the White House. Greg Hallett also said Bob Hope was politically connected and knew how to lure people in and ensure that they would work for him. He invited them to his parties and dangled various kinds of illegal and immoral perversions in their faces. Once their perversions were uncovered, he could blackmail or control them. That is how Bob worked. Bob was very good at this. I watched him do it to people over and over. He lured them in, detected their weaknesses, then used that knowledge in his favor for his connections, and ultimately for his personal gain. Uh, Bryce Taylor goes on to say, These blackmail practices are often used in conjunction with trauma-based mind control. This mind control is an integral component of and is deeply intertwined with child trafficking, sex slavery, satanic, ritual abuse, and many other horrific crimes. Many of the children used for the blackmail are programmed and many of these people being blackmailed, including sometimes future politicians, leaders, and presidents are also programmed themselves. Hmm. This is my personal belief based on my experiences, is that over the years, more leaders were undermined control. So what this is saying is that there's documented evidence consistently that there is being used blackmail and mind control techniques against high level politicians so that they can be manipulated for profit over time. Let's see if there's any of the other ones that we wanna mention here, cuz there's a ton, a ton. There's one from the Pegasus file. Um, I'll read this one and the next one and then we'll move on. It says, check out for the FBI records on Scarlet. What was his original hook that got him so deeply embedded with the UK Illuminati culture? He murdered the nanny of Lord Luan in the 1970s. Luen wasn't actually involved. Scarlet got it wrong. He was under mind control at the time. How we laughed on his training sessions when he heard that, not when he heard that one. Not funny. Really, we were all in the same boat. Each had something terrible attached to us in our past. That's all part and parcel of the Illuminati contract. Young people forced under mind control to commit murder when, when young and then later on picked up by British intelligence to be used and abused as they wished as loyal servants to the British Crown. One can only hope that by exposing these hooks that some sort of amnesty can prevail. If these people are freed from their demonic Illuminati contract, by exposing their hooks, one can only hope that they will come forward at a sizeable and influential body of political and public figures in order to put to an end here's hope. Check it out. Remington's Hook to see what sort of mind ran M 15 for so long, or I five. Um, for so long it's a game called Mafia and it is all about blackmail. Hmm. This is from an ex I six agent says he had previously signed off on Epstein's sweetheart deal because Epstein had belonged to intelligence. Acosta then serving as US Attorney. The Southern Florida had also been told by unspecific figures at the time that he needed to give Epstein a lenient sentence because of his links to intelligence. Wow. Now that same Fiona Barnett mentioned satanism quite a bit in some of her, uh, talks here. Um, but this just goes on and on and on and on of other documented conversations about this blackmail and mind control process. Now, if you don't know about. MK Ultra. You need to go back. I did a full episode on it and broke it all down. I think I've done actually two episodes on MK Ultra, which is a ccia a uh, a C I A operation, which was done. There's over like a hundred and something different ways that they were doing, conducting different scientific experiments, uh, during the Cold War and beyond to try and figure out how to conduct mind control on people. Um, and it was like almost between, I don't remember exactly, but it was like almost 35 to 40 years that they were conducting these type of experiments. And, and it's all public knowledge. You can actually go to the cia.gov website, to the archives and look up the documents on MK Ultra to figure out, and now you know how they're actually using it. Uh, so let's read the next part of this. If you want to find this article, um, I will link it in a sub email that I will send out, uh, tomorrow. Um, so Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. I will link this conspiracy red article, which is not very much traction. I wonder why, but has tons and tons of receipts of legitimate people who have made legitimate claims over time that is well documented about this blackmail process. Now, the next thing that he talks about here, or she, uh, says deep underground military base information. This post is an inter or is an overview of deep underground military bases, dumbs. As with my other posts, I highly encourage that you'll research further yourself. An understanding of what trauma-based mind control programming is and how it works is necessary to understanding much of this. See, my other posts. And we will be looking at those. Um, for information about the programming heavily referenced and related to this post, all citation sources and links are at the end of the section. These above top secret, deep level underground bases are used for trauma-based mind control, or monarch pro programming, experimental programming, genetic and other human experimentation. Military Illuminati, N W O Technology development and storage, including advanced weapons and advanced anti-gravity crafts, the highest level scientific and paranormal experiments, military abductions, black ops child, human trafficking, breeding programs, and other terrible things. There exists a huge network of mag Lev tube shuttle connections under the United States, which extends into a global system of tunnels and underground bases in cities. Many pictures of the machines used for digging are on this page. Let's click that link. I told you we were going deep Fellas told you we were going deep. Uh, so this is an article from, no, I can't read that far. Um, it shows these huge US Air Force drilling machineries that were used to drill these types of tunnels. Wow. I'm not gonna get into that, but just know that it's there. If you want it to go to it, to look at these machines, it comes from project camelot.org. And again, I'll link it in the ck. This one I'll need to do the sub stack cause of how much information we're going over. Um, it says they're basically whole cities underground. They are between 2.65 and 4.25 cubic me miles in size. They have laser drilling machines that can drill a tunnel seven miles long In one day, I was involved in building an addition to the deep underground military base at DOLs, which is probably the deepest base. It goes down seven levels and over 2.5 miles deep. I helped Hollow Hollow out more than 13 deep underground military bases in the United States. That came from Phil Schneider. The next one comes, or from Phil Schneider says, I discovered that not only, so yeah, that one came from Phil Schneider. This next one comes from Fritz Springier says, I discovered that not only was our government focused on building deep secret cities, but the Illuminati families were also, furthermore, they were using technology that the public was unaware existed. The idea idea behind it was to create safe and secret place for themselves. Witnesses have described elevators going miles down super fast, trains, backup government agencies, genetic experiments, warehouses of stockpiled materials, and a non-human hybrid project. But what continues to haunt me was what they looked took from one eyewitness, which gave me, when he said, Fritz, you don't have a clue what is going on behind, beyond all of you have thought of. And after that, what is going on is beyond what all of you have thought of. And after that, there was a stone-faced mask on his face counter nets. I don't know what that means. Um, the next one comes from Phil Schneider, which says, these underground bases are funded by the black budget and non appropriated funds. Intelligence agencies run the global drug trade. Where's this money coming from? It's not from our regular Black Ops budget. It comes from an illegal sale of drugs. And we know that to be true because of the cocaine that the, the CIA and, and these agencies were selling in the eighties and the crack in the nineties. So we know that to be true 100%. There's already been articles about that, that the, the CIA was ab absolutely selling cocaine to fund these types of operations. So we know that to be true too. Says, where's this money coming from? It's not coming from regular Black Ops budget. Um, it's coming from the illegal sale of drugs in the United States. There's, at least by conservative estimates, a quarter of a trillion to a half a trillion of illegal drugs just sold in the United States. That goes directly into underground budgets. And 90 to 95% goes to these dumps. Black Ops budgets is a half trillion dollars per year, a quarter of the US Gross National product. Um, black budget is not monitored by Congress. It's an independent having body, but it's mainly financed by drug operations by the ccia NSA and the Drug Enforcement and Enforcement Administration. Also, the fbi. More recently an FBI man tried to tell me the public about this and was murdered in January of 95. Interesting. Uh, Phil Schneider goes on to say that much of this Black Ops drug money is being used to fund projects classified above top secret. These projects include the building and maintaining of deep level underground basis, such as the Chris Anton Crissan Anthem Underground Biogenetics facility in Doles, New Mexico. Pine Gap in Australia, Breen Beacons in Wales, snowy mountains in Australia. The Nyla range in Africa, west of Hindu in Africa, next to the Libyan border in Egypt to Mount Blanc and Switzerland, NVA and Scandinavia, Gotland Island, and Sweden. There are at least 1400 of these DBS worldwide, 131 in the US with two underground bases being built per year in the US at the moment. The average depths of these bases are of four and a quarter miles underground, some shallower and some deeper. These bases are on average, the size of a medium-sized city. Each D U M B cost between 17 and 26 billion to build, which is funded by MI six and ccia Drug money. A nuclear powered drill is used to dig underground. The drill goes through the rock at a tremendous rate and literally melts the rock away to form a smooth glass like surface around the edges of the tunnels. The next one comes from James Kasal, which says, project Mannequin was started in 1972 and is still being run from a six level underground facility beneath the small town of smore in Berkshire, A few miles from where I grew up. Also, the CLC one base, which, uh, whatever in London was connected to a large base in Parliament la, the underground facility below the Porten down bio warfare facility in Wilshire. This underground base is also so secret that the local residents of peace more are not even aware it exists. The NSA facility known for the intelligence circles as AL 4 99 bases located 200 feet below the village. There are entrances to the facility at Greenham Common, um, which is the Bravo entrance, which is now sealed off. Whitefield Military Science College, Harville Laboratories in Oxfordshire, so on and so forth. The underground base at Lambourne is the area 51 of the UK with many exotic anti-gravity aircraft stored there. Wow. All right. This goes on and on and on and on. This is a crazy, crazy idea. I have not heard about this yet. Next one. And then literally, there's so many of these, so many of these quotes and links in sources, uh, that, that this goes into. Um, and we're just scratching the surface, scratching the surface. Wow. Let's see if we can grab one of his links here. Wow. This links to something called the Illuminati formula, used to create an undetectable mind control slave. Told you we're going deep. Wow. Let me look at this index here. Dear God. All right, so I'm not even gonna go into that, but like I said, I will link that. Uh, this is a book from Fritz Spring Meyer and Cisco Wheeler called The Illuminati Formula, used to create an undetectable mind control slave, and it comes from whale to so many links, so many articles. So many little twisted tunnels that you could get into from this. Let's read one more. Uh, this, uh, comes from Veronica Swift, which says One thing that they do is very advanced, almost mind bogglingly advanced is genetic manipulation and crossbreeding of humans. We already know that to be true. It's the chimes that we've talked about, that China admitted to be experiment theon, and she mentions it. Here we go. Both Jesse and Cisco report that the Illuminati Brotherhood is secretly creating human animal hybrids called chimes. They're breeding humans with birds and other animals, as well as inserting DNA into humans that normally would belong only to a fish, for example. Dear Lord, Next one says, area 51, dreamland Groom Lake, Nevada Area 51 is also known as dreamland. There are a number of extensive underground facilities in the area. This is one of the first genetic research fili facilities in the us, perhaps the first major genetic research facility. The people's workers and victims are brought in by airplane and tube shuttle. The worst cases of U F O alien type of monarch programming are coming out of Area 51. The eggs from slaves are being harvested and weird genetic creatures are being developed from human eggs, which has been genetically mixed with other things. Ooh, we're going deep, hidden high atop the mountainside along going into the sun road at more than 6,600 elevation is the secret tunnel entrance for an extensive underground Nazi slash CIA facility in the above satellite image. The larger circle denotes the hidden rock facade entrance, and the smaller circle denotes the position of camouflage guards. The secret tunnel descends more than two miles to a giant, hollowed out industrial complex below the mountain. This huge underground city slash base connects to Montana to Canada, just north of the national border at the cleverly named International Peace Park. This underground base is where the CIA keeps its stolen Holocaust trillions and test its most secret new world order black projects, including Tesla's flying discs, opt optically, invisible aircraft, and other stolen Tesla technologies. Operations at the base include maintenance and deployment of stealth drones. Wow. It also says Glacier National Park was the first national park to have railroad access at the time, a necessity for all large scale underground, military, industrial construction. This enabled them to transport the rumored Nazi gold train of stolen Holocaust Loot from Uck. New York to a secret base located inside the mountain. On the pro, uh, prominently above the secret tunnel entrance, there is a strange looking outcropping of rocks that a certain times of day looks like a grizzly bear. Hence the name Grizzly Peak. The c i a uses a secret tunnel route to illegally smuggle drugs, guns, ss Nazi war criminals, and dignitaries into Canada without stopping at any border crossings. Good Lord, this just goes deeper and deeper and deeper. Wow. I'm gonna have to do a whole episode on this. Yeah. We'll have to do a whole episode on this. The next topic that we were supposed to go into is, The Alice in Wonderland, trauma-based mind control programming. So I'll touch on this super briefly and then we're gonna have to wrap this up. But I will dive into these topics and come back to you guys with a, a full understanding, cuz I'm just finding this out with you. It says, A basic understanding of what trauma-based mind control is and how it works is absolutely necessary to understand this post. Um, it will not make sense otherwise. If you haven't read my other post, uh, first this is a follow up. This posts quite heavily on the character limit. Alison Wonderland is one of the two most commonly used mind control program scripts. The other is the Wizard of Oz. All mind control programming is a variation on a theme determined in part by the victim's own imagination and their set role in the cult. Hence, while Oz and Alice programming are uniformly employed, their application differs from every victim. Now again, it comes to Fiona Barnett, the person that we talked about earlier. Alice is the name given to every female MK Delta Child Soldier, hence the Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass programming. There are many variation used by different groups, but the basic concepts are the same. In alter personality or multiple. Who believes that they are Alice, a mirror world referred to as through the looking glass or the other side of the mirror. This is the fantasy world. This alter personality goes to or lives in, completely disassociated from the human extreme trauma. The Alice in Wonderland programming theme is used in air water programs and mirror programs, which the Illuminati, cia, nasa, Jesuit, and other like so. Well. The idea is that there exists a mirror world, which is a reversal. Along with it attached is the idea that the slave can enter into a timeless dimension of time. Or as some refer to it, interdimensional time travel going through the looking glass takes them to a world where the ordinary world is turned upside down and backwards. Uh, Fritz Spring Meyer says, using the movie programmers encourage slaves to go into over the rainbow, follow the yellow brick road, or follow the rabbit, and disassociate effectively separating their minds from their bodies the same way Alice follows a white rabbit through the looking glass. To enter the strange world of wonder, slaves follow their handlers through programming to reach complete disassociation. In the fairytale, Alice enters a fantasy world where everything is magical, inverted, and unstable. A place similar to the slave's internal world where everything can be modified by the handler. Therefore, in mk symbolism Wonderland represents the state of mind of disassociation, mind control slave, the place where they escape the plane of trauma. The next person said, I had listened to. A queen at talk at length about such concepts before hypnotic talk of past, present, future set my mind in a spin that when combined with Alice in Wonderland, NASA mirror, world concepts C uh, created an illusion of timeless dimensions. I know that the only dimensions I experienced were elaborate memory compartmentalizations of real earthly events by real earthly criminals, and certainly not by aliens, Satan or demons. Wow. It goes on to talk about another one which says that, uh, The White Rabbit is a programming figure for Alice in Wonderland programming who will allow you to go otherwise inaccessible places for adventure. He represents the master. The white rabbit is an important figure to the slave. Fritz Springer says, Alice, uh, represents mind control in general. The meaning of is purposeful referenced in media, for example, the Matrix or Pet Goat two, which is symbolism. Uh, this page has collected a collection of celebrity monarch slave pictures referencing Alice Mind Control in popular media. It's everywhere. Interesting. I'm sure we can go down that rabbit hole, no pun intended. Wow. Hmm. Talks about, it shows Adam Lambert. It shows like it's just basically showing all of the symbolism within Hollywood, referencing the White Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland. It even shows a picture of Britney Spears wearing the rabbit years during a performance. His Cameron Diaz followed the white rabbit as well. Who knows? Maybe it's just a coincidence. So this is just all speculation, but it does show a fair amount of correlations between Hollywood figures and Alice in Wonderland, which to be fair, was a huge Hollywood hit, and maybe that's why and has absolutely nothing to do with CIA m i six, Illuminati Satanic mind control. And maybe these people are all crazy. That could be very well it, but that's a pretty big, pretty big amount of pictures and people, and when you say, uh, Bri Britney Spears, you go watch some Britney Spears videos, that's some of the wildest, weirdest things you'll ever see in your life. Uh, yeah. Interesting. Says the same way Alice follows a white rabbit through the looking glass to enter a strange world of wonder. Slaves follow their handlers through programming to reach a complete disassociation. And the fairytale Alice enters a fantasy world where everything is magical. Right. We already talked about that, um, over the years. Uh, interesting. All right. I don't have the mental fortitude to continue going down this road because it seems to be pretty dark. Uh, but I, I will read it when I have the ability to do so and come back to you
