August 26, 2006. Hinton, Alberta. After failing to reach her on the radio or the telephone, the supervisor of 70-year old Stephanie Stewart travels to the Athabasca Lookout Tower in the province's foothills, where Stephanie is posted as a seasonal fire spotter. When he arrives, the supervisor finds a smear of blood on the front steps of Stephanie's cabin and a pot of water on the stove, but there is no sign of her anywhere. Since bed sheets and other items are also missing from the cabin, there is speculation that Stephanie was murdered by someone who transported her body from the scene and disposed of it, but she cannot be found and there are no solid suspects or a known motive for her disappearance. May 3, 1983. Hinton, Alberta. After spending the evening with her boyfriend at the Sunset Trailer Court, 16-year old Shelley-Anne Bacsu phones her mother to let her know that an unnamed friend will be picking her up and driving her home. Shelley-Anne never arrives, but a number of witnesses report having seen her walking down Alberta Highway 16 before she disappeared. Some of Shelley-Anne's clothing and personal items are found scattered on a road next to the Athabasca River, but while her family suspects that she was harmed by someone who gave her a ride, no trace of Shelley-Anne is ever found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we travel to the same region of Alberta to cover a pair of unsolved Canadian missing persons cases. If you have any information about either fo these cases, please contact the Hinton branch of the RCMP at (780) 865-2455 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

PREVIEW Chinese Central Filtering of Canadian Statistical Assistance. Charles Burton discusses Canada's 1990s statistical assistance to China, noting how central filtering distorted the results. Authorities selectively used data that fit assumptions of success, ignoring negative information or using it only to improve tax extraction.

In May of 1975, a high school in Brampton, Ontario became the scene of Canada's first modern mass school shooting. Sixteen-year-old Michael Slobodian walked into Brampton Centennial Secondary School carrying two rifles in a guitar case and, within minutes, left two people dead, thirteen wounded, and an entire generation traumatized. In this episode of the Canadian Gothic we trace the events leading up to the attack, the moments of terror inside the school, and the survivor stories that have echoed through the decades. This is the forgotten Canadian tragedy that unfolded long before Columbine, a chilling reminder that the roots of modern day school gun violence reach further back, and closer to home, than most realize.

This week we talk about Venezuela, casus belli, and drug smuggling.We also discuss oil reserves, Maduro, and Machado.Recommended Book: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt DinnimanTranscriptVenezuela, which suffered all sorts of political and economic crises under former president Hugo Chávez, has suffered even more of the same, and on a more dramatic scale, under Chávez's successor, Nicolás Maduro.Both Chávez and Maduro have ruled over autocratic regimes, turning ostensibly democratic Venezuelan governments into governments ruled by a single person, and those they like and empower and reward, over time removing anyone from power who might challenge them, and collapsing all checks and balances within the structure of their government.They still hold elections, then, but like in Russia, the voting is just for show, the outcome predetermined, and anyone who gets too popular and who isn't favored by the existing regime is jailed or killed or otherwise neutralized; the votes are then adjusted when necessary to make it look like the regime is still popular, and anyone who challenges that seeming popularity is likewise taken care of.As a result of that state of affairs, an unpopular regime with absolute power running things into the ground over the course of two autocrats' administrations, Venezuela has suffered immense hyperinflation, high levels of crime and widespread disease, ever-increasing mortality rates, and even starvation, as fundamentals like food periodically become scarce. This has led to a swell of emigration out of the country, which has, during the past decade, become the largest ever recorded refugee crisis in the Americas, those who leave mostly flooding into neighboring countries like Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.As of 2025, it's estimated that nearly 8 million people, more than 20% of Venezuela's entire population as of 2017, has fled the country to get away from the government, its policies, its collapsed economy, and the cultural homogeny that has led to so much crime, conflict, and oppression of those not favored by the people in charge.This has also led to some Venezuelans trying to get into the US, which was part of the justification for a proposed invasion of the country, by the US government, under the first Trump administration in 2017.The idea was that this is a corrupt, weak government that also happens to possess the largest proven oil reserves in the world. Its production of oil has collapsed along with everything else, in part because the government is so ineffectual, and in part because of outside forces, like longstanding sanctions by the US, which makes selling and profiting from said oil on the global market difficult.Apparently, though, Trump also just liked the idea of invading Venezuela through US ally Colombia, saying—according to Trump's National Security advisor at the time, John Bolton—that Venezuela is really part of the US, so it would be “cool” for the US to take it. Trump also later said, in 2023, that when he left office Venezuela was about to collapse, and that he would have taken it over if he had been reelected instead of losing to Joe Biden, and the US would have then kept all the country's oil.So there's long been a seeming desire by Trump to invade Venezuela, partly on vibe grounds, the state being weak and why shouldn't we own it, that kind of thing? But underlying that is the notion of the US being a country that can stomp into weaker countries, take their oil, and then nation-build, similar to what the government seemed to be trying to do when it invaded Iraq in the early 2000s, using 9/11 as a casus belli, an excuse to go to war, with an uninvolved nation that happened to own a bunch of oil resources the US government wanted for itself.What I'd like to talk about today is the seeming resurgence of that narrative, but this time with an, actual tangible reason to believe an invasion of Venezuela might occur sometime soon.—As I mentioned, though previously kind of a success story in South America, bringing people in from all over the continent and the world, Venezuela has substantially weakened under its two recent autocratic leaders, who have rebuilt everything in their image, and made corruption and self-serving the main driver behind their decisions for the direction of the country.A very popular candidate, María Corina Machado, was barred from participating in the country's 2024 election, the country's Supreme Court ruling that a 15-year ban on her holding public office because of her involvement with an alleged plot against Maduro with a previous candidate for office, Juan Guaido; Guiado is now in exile, run out of the country for winning an election against Maduro, which Maduro's government has claimed wasn't legit, but which dozens of governments recognize as having been legitimate, despite Maduro's clinging to power after losing.So Machado is accused of being corrupt by Maduro's corrupt government, and thus isn't allowed to run for office. Another candidate that she wanted to have run in her place was also declared ineligible by Maduro's people, so another sub was found, Edmundo González, and basically every outside election watchdog group says that he won in 2024, and handedly, over Maduro. But the government's official results say that's not the case, that Maduro won, and that has created even more conflict and chaos in the country as it's become clearer and clearer that there's no way to oust the autocrat in control of the government—not through the voting box, at least.This is part of what makes Venezuela an even more appealing target, for the Trump administration, right now, because not only is Maduro incredibly unpopular and running the country into the ground, there's also a very popular alternative, in the shape of María Corina Machado, who could conceivably take control of things should Maduro be toppled. So there's a nonzero chance that if someone, like the US military, were to step in and either kill Maduro or run him out of town, they could make a very sweet deal with the incoming Machado government, including a deal that grants access to all that currently underutilized oil wealth.This is theoretical right now, but recent moves by the US government and military suggest it might not remain theoretical for much longer.In mid-November, 2025, the US Navy moved the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Caribbean—the USS Gerald R Ford being an aircraft carrier, and the strike group being the array of ships and aircraft that accompany it—it was moved there from the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was moved following the attack on Israel that led to Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip.This, by itself, doesn't necessarily mean anything; the shifting of aircraft carrier groups is often more symbolic than practical. But the US government has suggested it might us these vessels and aircraft to strike drug manufacturers across South and Central America, and specifically in Venezuela.This is being seen as an escalation of an already fraught moment in the region, because the US has launched a series of strikes against small boats in the area, beginning back in September of 2025.These boats, according to the US government, are drug smuggling vessels, bringing fentanyl, among other drugs, to US shores. So the idea is that the people aboard these boats are criminals who are killing folks in the US by bringing this drug, which is highly addictive and super potent, and thus more likely to kill its users than other opioids, into the country for illegal sale and distribution. So, the claim goes, this is a justified use of force.These strikes have thus far, over the past two months, killed at least 79 people, all alleged by the US government to be drug smugglers, despite some evidence to the contrary, in some cases. The US's allies have not been happy about these strikes, including allies the government usually relies on to help with drug-related detection and interdiction efforts, including regional governments that take action to keep drugs from shuffling around the region and eventually ending up in the US.Many US allies have also called the strikes illegal. The French foreign minister recently said they violate international law, and the EU's foreign policy chief said something similar, indicating that such use of force is only valid in cases of self-defense, and when there's a UN Security council resolution on the matter.Canadian and Dutch governments have been doing what they can to distance themselves from the strikes, without outright criticizing the at times vindictive US government, and some regional allies, like Colombia, have been signaling that they'll be less cooperative with the US when it comes to drug-related issues, saying that they would no longer share intelligence with the US until they stop the strikes, which they've called “extrajudicial executions.”An extrajudicial killing is one that is not lawful; it doesn't have the backing of a judicial proceeding, and thus lacks the authority typically granted by the proper facets of a government. Lacking such authority, killing is illegal. Given said authority, though, a killing can be made legal, at least according to the laws of the government doing the killing.The argument here is that while governments can usually get away with killing people, only authoritarian regimes typically and regularly to use that power to kill folks without going through the proper channels and thus getting the legal authority to do so.In this case, the facts seem to support the accusations of those who are saying these killings aren't legally legitimate: the Trump administration has launched these attacks on these vessels without going through the usual channels, and without declaring Congressionally approved war on anyone in particular. They've instead claimed that drug cartels are terrorists, and have said that anyone they suspect of smuggling drugs, or who they suspect in any way might be involved with the illegal drug making and smuggling industry, can be considered enemy, non-state combatants that they're allowed to kill at will.And as part of that declaration that the US government has the right to kill anyone they like who's involved in drug smuggling, in late-October 2025 it was reported that the US has identified targets on land, as well, some of these targets located within ports and airstrips across Venezuela, including those used by the Venezuelan government, which the Maduro regime allegedly also uses for drug smuggling purposes.This loops us back around to that original possibility that the Trump administration, looking for a casus belli, an excuse to go to war with Venezuela, may be using these strikes and the drug smuggling industry to get social and maybe legal backing for strikes that reach closer and closer to Maduro and the Venezuelan military.If the US were to strike some vital Venezuelan military ports, using drug smuggling as justification, but taking out Venezuelan military infrastructure and/or people in the process, would that be an act of war? Would that trigger a response from Maduro? Could that response then allow the US military to claim self-defense?These questions are up in the air right now, and that confusion could provide the opportunity to move fast and not have to suffer legal consequences until all is said and done, but it could also help shape the outcome of those decisions: ask for forgiveness, not permission, basically, but maybe not even forgiveness, if other aspects of the government come to support the Trump administration's decisions and rule in their favor, after the fact.Some analysts have said they suspect this drumbeat toward war with Venezuela is meant to solve several problems for the Trump administration. It could help them deal with plummeting approval numbers leading into a midterm election in 2026, and it could also give Trump himself cover from the escalating issue of the Epstein files, which, among other things, seem to connect Trump with someone who's become the world's most famous human trafficker and pedophile even more tightly than before.This sort of process may also serve to slowly bolster the perception that the presidency has more powers than it has traditionally wielded, like the ability to unilaterally declare war, even though such powers are supposed to rest with Congress; an extension of other efforts by this administration to reinforce the presidency at the expense of the checks and balances that are meant to keep the US government from becoming an autocracy, like the one in Venezuela.Show Noteshttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/01/27/venezuela-s-supreme-court-disqualifies-opposition-leader-from-running-for-president_6469941_4.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/06/venezuela-election-maduro-analysishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Venezuelan_presidential_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Strike_Group_12https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/politics/venezuela-trump-military-what-we-knowhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/americas/venezuela-us-aircraft-carrier-reaction-latam-intlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/us/politics/trump-pressure-venezuela.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/2025/11/15/nx-s1-5609888/aircraft-carrier-caribbean-venezuela-military-actionhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/16/us-rogue-state-extrajudicial-killings-venezuelahttps://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/15/trump-maduro-venezuela-column-00652369https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/justice-department-drug-boat-strike-memo-83711582https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/world/americas/trump-drug-boat-strikes-colombian-fisherman.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7810w37vwdohttps://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2025/11/13/colombia-to-suspend-intelligence-sharing-with-us-over-boat-strikes/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_United_States_military_strikes_on_alleged_drug_traffickershttps://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2025/11/trump-boat-strikes-killings-venezuela/684921/https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/trump-boat-strikes-drug-9bbbeb90?mod=hp_lead_pos11https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrajudicial_killinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_in_Venezuelahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_refugee_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_United_States_invasion_of_Venezuela This is a public episode.

Jannik Sinner defends at the ATP Finals, again without losing a set, beating his chief rival #1 Carlos Alcaraz. The final was fine, even quite good at times, albeit a bit momentum-less; but hey, they can't all be classics. Novak makes some valid points about Sinner's doping case – yes, well-tread territory to be fair – and gets subtweeted by Darren Cahill for his troubles. Plus, Aryna is displeased with Nike (which itself seems indifferent to tennis), and we take a quick tangent into health care and politics. 1:55 Jannik repeats at the ATP Finals 7:05 The Big 3 broke tennis analysis 11:50 Semis and group stage: every era needs a de Minaur 17:45 The ATP fits and haircuts + the Nike snowsuit 21:50 Novak on Sinner's doping case and Darren's subtweet 32:05 Aryna is unhappy with Nike, and Nike doesn't seem to care 38:30 Not a great week for churches!

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore interviews Canadian church planter Will Esayenko, whose story traces a dramatic path from resisting God's call to embracing a life of gospel multiplication. Will shares how he ran toward comfort, career, and security—until God used a late-night car accident to shatter his trajectory and bring him back to the call he'd received as a child. Today, he is planting and multiplying churches across the Yellowhead region of Alberta, driven by a simple conviction: when you abide in Christ, He leads you into the work He wants to reproduce.Topics DiscussedGrowing up in a Christian home and being saved youngReceiving a clear call to ministry as a childChoosing a career path over surrender in his teen yearsThe car accident that exposed the emptiness of living for thingsHow Bible school clarified God's call and burden for CanadaRestarting a struggling church in Hinton, AlbertaPlanting a second church and embracing multiplicationSending out your best people and the cost that comes with itFinding identity in Christ instead of success metricsAbiding in the Shepherd as the core of guidance and courageTraining hesitant men for ministry and pushing them forwardWalking with Christ through uncertainty and lossKey TakeawaysRunning from God's call never brings peace; God has ways of turning you around.Real guidance begins with a clean heart and an abiding walk with the Shepherd.You don't need your future perfectly mapped to step into obedience today.Multiplication always costs something, but sending is the pathway to greater fruit.Your identity must rest in Christ rather than ministry success or comparison.God uses surrendered people to reach entire regions, not just individual churches.Do you have a story of gospel advance or a burden for a specific people group?

Season 11, Episode 12 opens with a whirlwind week in retail news. Steve and Michael begin with the long-awaited end of the historic 43-day U.S. government shutdown, exploring what it means for holiday spending, federal workers, SNAP benefits, and travel recovery. While uncertainty lingers—particularly around health-care subsidies—the hosts note that retail may still experience ripple effects, especially among lower-income consumers living paycheck to paycheck. Still, retail sales continue to surprise: year-over-year spending climbed 5%, with clothing, sporting goods, electronics, and general merchandise leading the pack. Ecommerce also surged, with October online sales up 8.2%The hosts then unpack a series of strong earnings from standout brands. On continues its explosive growth with sales up over 30%, while Warby Parker posts a 15% sales jump and meaningful profitability improvement. The RealReal rebounds with 17% revenue growth, and Shopify reports a remarkable 32% increase, reflecting the strength of digitally enabled commerce. Another major storyline is the rapid rise of AI shopping: Adobe Analytics data now shows AI-driven traffic converting 16% higher than traditional channels, validating the momentum behind agentic commerce. In other tech news, Google announces an AI agent capable of calling stores, checking inventory, and completing purchases—a signal of seismic shifts underway in retail automation. And finally, the surprise timing behind the departure of Walmart CEO Doug McMillon prompts conversation about leadership transition, strategy continuity and the remarkable transformation he led. The second half of the episode features an in-depth interview with Julie Bornstein, Founder & CEO of Daydream—an AI-powered, chat-based shopping engine still in beta but already partnered with over 10,000 brands and 350 retailers that has already raised $50mm in capital. Julie shares her impressive career journey through Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Sephora, Stitch Fix, The Yes, and Pinterest. She then goes to explain how Daydream solves fashion's most enduring problem: overwhelming choice. With generative AI enabling natural-language search, Daydream aims to deliver truly personalized recommendations by combining human stylist expertise with an ensemble of specialized models that understand fabric, fit, color, and aesthetic nuance. Julie also discusses the complexity of building a platform that merges taste-based shopping with machine learning, the importance of deep brand partnerships, and why major retailers see Daydream as both a customer-acquisition engine and an AI learning lab. She previews what's ahead: emerging social features, secondhand expansion, new iOS integrations, an upcoming app launch, and broader consumer rollout. SPECIAL OFFER for our listeners!

The Montreal Experiments were one of the most disturbing mind-control programs ever carried out in North America — funded by the CIA, supported by the Canadian government, and disguised as cutting-edge psychiatric treatment.From drug-induced comas to extreme electroshock therapy and “psychic driving,” hundreds of innocent patients — including teenagers, young mothers, and people seeking help for mild anxiety — were used as unwitting test subjects. Many lost their memories, their identities, and entire pieces of their lives.https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgdngkxedzo.amphttps://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/mkultrahttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10443815/WTF News-Farmer Pete pulls a gun in chicken argument https://www.newsweek.com/man-tries-shoot-people-argument-how-many-eggs-chickens-lay-11010758Crime News UpdateKayden McIntosh Sentenced for the murder of Cynthia Hoffman https://people.com/catfished-thinking-get-money-killing-teen-going-prison-11850972Join our squad!

Send us a textExit Scary Season, hello Noirvember and back to film noir in earnest! We're leaving behind the subgenre of crazy kids on the run and into more established noir territory --- the private detective story. And do we have a great one for our entrance! Among the first pre-wave of classic film noir released in the US after WWII, it's 1946's The Big Sleep. Packed with talent in front of and behind the camera, packed with confusion by one of the hallmark authors of the hard – boiled writing style, packed with intrigue beyond the simple telling of a story --- it's a signal event of the genre. It's packed. It started, as do many of the early noir films, with a master of the pulp magazine story, the estimable Raymond Chandler. Chandler had an extremely round-about path to artistic success. He was a son of the Midwest, born in Chicago and raised in Nebraska, but due to family connections, well educated at Dulwich College in London. He became a British citizen and entered the civil service, which he found stifling. He moved on to newspaper work, had a stop in Canadian military service during WWI, then returned to the US, beginning an executive career in the Southern California oil industry. The Depression put paid to his work there, as well as contributed to his growing alcoholism. Short on funds, Chandler took a flyer and picked up on the paid – by – the – word pulp fiction magazines of the day, his first story in 1933 winning him instant success. He never looked back. He became more ambitious, his slow writing more fitted to novels than paid – by – the – word, publishing his first, The Big Sleep, in 1939.

In this episode, I chat with Sylvain Karpinski, founder and CEO of GUSTA Foods and SLY Foods, and one of the most innovative voices in Canada's vegan food landscape. Sylvain has been vegan for two decades and has built two successful plant based companies rooted in his passion for sustainability, flavour, and adventure. GUSTA Foods quickly became a staple in Canadian grocery stores with its artisanal, clean-label vegan sausages, roasts, and cheeses. More recently, Sylvain launched SLY Foods: a line of gourmet, freeze-dried, plant based meals designed for adventurers who want nutritious, long-lasting meals that taste amazing. In this conversation, we explore: • Sylvain's vegan journey and what inspires his work • The origins and growth of GUSTA Foods • Why he created SLY Foods and the gap it fills for outdoor enthusiasts • How the plant-based meat alternative market has evolved • His experiences as an adventure athlete and how that shaped SLY Foods This is an inspiring, insightful episode for anyone interested in vegan entrepreneurship, plant based innovation, or the intersection of food and adventure.

In this episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, Bruce dedicates a full hour to personal finance legend David Chilton, author of The Wealthy Barber. Nearly four decades and millions of copies later, Chilton has fully updated his Canadian classic for a new generation facing soaring housing costs, ubiquitous credit and constant social-media-fueled temptation. He shares the story behind the original book, why he chose a barbershop narrative, how he self-published before it was cool, and what really happened when Canada Trust and Costco helped turn The Wealthy Barber into a phenomenon. Bruce and David also talk about family, travel, homeschooling, and what it was like for his kids to grow up with “the Wealthy Barber guy” as their dad. Then, they dig into the money lessons that still matter most: paying yourself first, crushing high-interest debt, using spending summaries to spot the leaks, and why car costs are quietly wrecking so many budgets. David explains how small daily changes can add up to fully funding a TFSA, why side hustles can be a game-changer, and how high-fee products still undermine long-term returns. He also looks ahead to the future of money, from AI and employment to open banking, and shares the one change he wishes every Canadian would see: practical, engaging financial education for teens that actually sticks.

In the latest episode of On The Line, Matt Gurney welcomes two very different guests for two very different conversations — and both of them are well worth your time.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canada's housing crisis demands bold, scalable solutions. Build Canada Homes is an opportunity to leverage Canadian wood in modern construction. Wood-based methods like mass timber and modular construction can significantly reduce build times, waste, and carbon emissions, while supporting local economies. Expanding building codes, streamlining approvals, and prioritizing domestic wood in federal projects could double demand and foster job creation in rural and northern communities.Despite trade challenges and market volatility, a partnership between industry and government is vital to stabilize the sector, enhance competitiveness, and deliver innovative, sustainably sourced Canadian wood products for homes across Canada and abroad. With capacity growing across provinces, stable demand and predictable financing are key to unlocking the sector's potential.We need to Build Canada Homes with Canadian wood. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.The episode opens with a wide-ranging chat with Dan Seljak, who joins Matt to unpack an issue that somehow turned into a strangely complicated political fight in Toronto. The whole thing should have been simple: should the city allow small retail outlets inside residential neighbourhoods? Most of us grew up with corner stores, coffee shops, and little walk-in places woven into the communities around us. But Toronto's own governance rules have made these kinds of businesses nearly impossible to open, and the city has been steadily losing the ones it still has. What followed was an unexpectedly intense battle to protect those remaining shops and to make space for new ones. Dan talks about how he found himself pulled into the fight, what it revealed about the way cities make decisions, and why something so basic became so hard. He and Matt dig into a bigger question, too: how did urban governance in Canada become so tangled that even the simple things are impossible to achieve? This isn't a left-right issue — there's a surprising amount of agreement across political lines — and yet nothing gets done. How did we box ourselves into this, and how do we get out?You can read more from Dan, and keep up with his work, at Another Glass Box.After Dan, John Wright joins the show. John is a long-time friend of The Line and has been involved in a campaign to raise public awareness about a once-celebrated Canadian military hero who has almost disappeared from our national memory. He and Matt pick up the thread from last week's discussion about Remembrance Day on The Line Podcast, exploring why these stories fade and why they matter. John also shares a quick update on his own professional world — and it's worth sticking around for. For more information about John's new venture, go here.

Dive into the darkest corners of reality with host Walter Sterling filling in for Lionel and guest expert Dave Scott, a known Canadian and host of Spaced Out Radio. This is all-night radio at its best: live, top of mind, and asking the crucial question: who's in charge of everything?.The show challenges the comforting delusion that Americans cannot keep big secrets. Sterling argues that major conspiracies—like a controlled demolition bringing down the World Trade Center or the existence of UFOs and lizard men—must be true because hundreds of people can keep their mouths shut, a fact proven by every boy knowing how to see into the girls' locker room in high school.Topics explored include the 9/11 controlled demolition theories, including the potential role of expensive asbestos removal, the truth behind Bell Labs buying up most of Roswell, New Mexico, and the fate of the surviving alien from the 1947 crash. Plus, deep dives into UFO technology allegedly 120 years ahead of public knowledge and now potentially housed in private corporate hands like Lockheed Skunk Works. Finally, unpack the wildest theory of all: that the JFK assassination was staged using special effects bladders, and no shots were actually fired in Daily Plaza. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast is something special. I'm joined by my emotional support Canadian (yes, really!) and fellow coach Crystal Thompson, and we're diving into a book that touched both our hearts: Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground by Mirabai Starr.

We talk about finding sacredness in everyday life, receiving love when it feels hard, and why awe and gratitude can change everything, especially in long-term relationships. There's laughter. There's depth. There's even a moment that made me cry on the mic. ✨ Episode at a Glance Why the word mysticism can feel scary—and how to reclaim it What sacred ground actually looks like in everyday life How awe + gratitude fuel connection (and soften resentment) The neuroscience of wonder, and why it matters in marriage What Mirabai Starr, Richard Rohr, and Mary of Guadalupe have in common The real-life moment I almost deflected a miracle RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Ordinary Mysticism by Mirabai Starr Connect with Crystal on Instagram @crystalruthcoaching The Questions for Couples Journal Private Coaching with Maggie

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Raytheon, ritual abuse, MK ULTRA mind control, and Secret Space Program survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, targeted individual, loving mother, nature lover, former Maine journalist and reporter, published writer and author, podcaster and podcast host of her own YouTube channel, flower essence and herbal extraordinaire, remote viewer, psychic and shaman, Family Court reform activist, and an amazing woman risking it all to blind the darkness with her light: Jane HatchIn the shadowed corridors of America's "Technology Highway”, where gleaming industrial parks masked deep underground horrors, Jane was forged in fire. Born into a bloodline laced with Pleiadian DNA and Nazi-collaborator shadows, Jane's destiny ignited before she drew her first breath. Her mother, a luminous Canadian immigrant with dual birth certificates (one German, one veiled), channeled Atlantean memories, spoke to plants, and prophesied UFOs amid the 1960s New England craze. Her father, a college graduate turned Raytheon salesman, ascended from middle-class to yacht-club elite after it's believed he signed a clandestine contract that traded his Jane for wealth and power.At age 4 (or possibly earlier), Jane's abductions began. White vans prowled Hanover, Massachusetts' South Shore, snatching gifted children under guises like "Boston Pops field trips." Jane vanished from school - entire years erased, classmates recalling her presence for mere days. Physically hauled or "20-and-backed," she endured Raytheon's subterranean lairs beneath Needham's pristine suburbs. Electrodes split her psyche into altars; and waterboarding fractured her further. In the Secret Space Program, in sterile white facilities, she served as an intuitive navigator, her trauma-forged psionics propelling UFO motherships.Jane fled at 16, but the "aftercare" intensified: she has been targeted individual since her youth. Directed energy weapons, satellites, Voice-to-Skull, gangstalking, curses, demons, poison, accidents, homelessness, and poverty have plagued her ever since. In Maine, whistleblowing Bath Iron Works corruption blacklisted her professional journalism career. Then corrupt family court "tried her as a witch" for prophetic dreams and exposing Bath Iron Works. Her three gifted and previous daughters were seized, handed to a psychopathic stepmother and likely subjected to the same MK ULTRA tortures Jane did everything in her power to keep them free from.CONNECT WITH JANE: -For consultations, to set up an appointment, or to purchase a book people can text Jane at 774-212-2768 or email lovenewearth@tutanota.com or redfoxruns1@gmail.com-Donate to Jane: Zelle at 774-212-2769-YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JaneCeliaHatch/videos-Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/JaneCeliaHatch/videos-Websites: https://bethesdastar.com/about-me/ & https://www.radiantearthmother.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherinSupport the show
