The IPS Evening Deprogram for June 8th, 2025 explores the intersection of psychological warfare, predictive programming, and reality construction. The host emphasizes that many events are not organic or random but are crafted as part of a long-term “meta script” designed to influence mass perception and behavior.The Pentagon fabricated the UFO myth and the Area 51 narrative to distract from experimental aircraft, seeding a belief system that replaces angels with aliens.This deception, the speaker argues, is part of a broader attempt to introduce a “new scientific paradigm” rooted in superstition.Quotes:“The Pentagon made it all up.”“They've replaced angels with aliens.”“They lied… to influence public opinion and culture.”Entertainment is framed as a weaponized medium used in psychological operations.UFO mythology, alien invasions, and disaster movies are cited as tools of propaganda.Quotes:“Entertainment is more or less a military operation.”“UFO-ology is government propaganda.”Media such as Final Destination, Leave the World Behind, and Fight Club are seen as predictive programming vehicles.Imagery like collapsing towers and doomed flights are interpreted as precursors to 9/11.Quotes:“You're experiencing 9-11 from the perspective of one of the passengers.”“9-11 was being destroyed in front of our eyes in many forms for decades.”Recurring dates like 6/11, 7/13, and the number 33 are highlighted as embedded signals in media and events.These dates connect to themes like blackouts, political assassinations, and media spectacles.Quotes:“Trump was shot at 6:11 — same date, same number.”“Rodney King was hit 33 times in 1 minute 19 seconds.”A growing narrative portrays Trump as an authoritarian tyrant ahead of a potential June 11th crisis.The media script seems to be setting up a symbolic or literal cataclysm around Trump, riots, and Los Angeles.Quotes:“Liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion.”“Trump is portrayed as a tyrant — sending in troops unnecessarily.”Generative AI like Sora and Grok expose how easily fake but convincing realities can be created.The speaker argues that AI panic is a staged crisis to justify censorship and protect the “worldview monopoly”.Quotes:“If you can conceptualize it, you can manifest it.”“This is a made-up crisis — the public cannot tell real from fake.”Both red-pill (conspiracy awareness) and woke (social justice awareness) are labeled false awakenings designed to trap and demoralize.True awakening is defined as escaping the media-scripted narrative entirely by adopting an “off-world stage” perspective.Quotes:“The red pill is a false awakening. The woke ideology is a false awakening.”“If you're not deprogrammed, you are programmed by default.”2025 is described as a pivotal year in theosophical circles — a predicted date for the externalization of the hierarchy (manifestation of spiritual guides).The speaker hints this could tie into how elites introduce new “teachers” to lead humanity in a post-truth world.Quotes:“2025 is the next step in spiritual evolution.”Scientists have developed a biological computer made from human brain cells derived from blood.This tech, capable of learning faster and using less energy than silicon chips, is likened to the concept of Astrocrete — human blood used in extraterrestrial construction.Quotes:“Biological fusion… a disturbing development.”“A computer made of human brain cells.”The speaker closes by encouraging listeners to subscribe to the newsletter and Discord, and to watch unfolding events with discernment, not dread — urging a “grab your popcorn” approach to the world stage's manufactured drama.

On todays show Maddie, breaks down the legal case Goss vs. Lopez, a 1974 civil rights case where students were suspended without due process. The majority ruled that students have property and liberty interests protected by the 14th Amendment, requiring due process for suspensions of 10 days or less. The dissent argued that 10 days is de minimis. The case highlighted the shift from principals handling discipline to legal proceedings. The conversation also touched on current events, including Trump's social media activities, Bono's political involvement, and the impact of California's policies on national issues. The discussion covered various political and social issues, including the chaos in government, the impact of tariffs, and the potential military actions against Iran. Glenn Cox and others debated the role of chaos in economic systems, with libertarians seen as promoting chaos to prevent government control. The conversation also touched on the Democratic Party's strategies, the rise of AOC, and the challenges of homelessness in California. Additionally, they discussed the complexities of tariff laws, the potential for a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, and the implications of Trump's foreign policies. The group also mentioned the impact of social media on political discourse and the trolling tactics used by Trump. The conversation revolves around the critique of two movies, one about King Edward VIII and another titled "Leave the World Behind," which was deemed poorly made. They discuss the impressive performance of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in hostile interviews, suggesting he might be a robot. The discussion shifts to the debt rescission clock, explaining the process by which the administration can request Congress to rescind unspent funds, with a 45-day timer and a 25-day period for House action. They also touch on Tesla's new home delivery service, which has started testing in Austin. Don't Miss IT!
You might have seen these texts before. The scam starts innocently enough. Maybe it's a "Long time no see" or "Hello" or "How are you." For investigative reporter Zeke Faux it was – "Hi David, I'm Vicky Ho. Don't you remember me?" Many people ignore them. But Zeke responded. He wanted to get scammed. This led him on a journey halfway around the world to find out who is sending him random wrong number texts and why. After you hear this story, you'll never look at these messages the same way again.To hear the full episode check out Search Engine's website. Search Engine was created by P.J.

Following Jesus changes everything. The things I once thought were important just don't compare to knowing Him. And people notice that change."They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you." -1 Peter 4:4When you choose Jesus, some people won't get it. They may think you're missing out. But what if your life - the way you live, the things you no longer chase - makes them wonder if they're the ones missing something? Your faith could be the very thing that helps someone else see that Jesus is better.
Where are security tools failing security teams? What are security teams looking for when they visit a security vendor marketing website? Paul Robinson, security expert and founder of Tempus Network, says, “Over-promising and under-delivering is a major factor in these tools. The tool can look great in a demo—proof of concepts are great, but often the security vendor is just putting their best foot forward. It's not really the reality of the situation.”Paul's advice for how can security vendors do better? Start by admitting security isn't just a switch you flip—it's a journey. Security teams aren't fooled by glitz and glamour on your marketing website. They want to see how you addressed real problems.Incredible customer service can make a small, scrappy cybersecurity product stand out from larger, slower-moving vendors.Cybersecurity vendors need to get onboarding right (it's a make or break aspect of the user experience). There are more variables than you think—not only technology but also getting buy-in from employees, leadership, and other stakeholders.Think about the user experience not only of the person using the security product, but the people at the organization who will be impacted by the product.Looking for a cybersecurity-related movie that is just a tad too plausible? Paul recommends Leave the World Behind on Netflix.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, January has been an absolutely crazy month if you're a fan of conspiracy theory, and an incredible month if you're a regular reader of the King James Bible. How crazy is it right now? Glad you asked. It is so crazy right now that yesterday we posted a video to X showing the CEO of Moderna Stephane Bancel admitting they had 100,000 vials of COVID-19 vaccine in 2019 before the Pandemic started, and he finished by ‘predicting' a pandemic was coming in 2020. There it is, proof positive that the whole thing was a prearranged setup created by the New World Order. What was the reaction? No one cared, a few shrugged and mumbled some stuff, but by and large it had little effect on anyone at all. As of this writing it has yet to reach 1K views. Had we posted this at any time in 2021, 2022 or 2023 it would have caused a viral social media firestorm with untold millions of views. What changed? In 2025, people are so overwhelmed by abnormal event after abnormal event, we've become numb to it all. What used to be exciting high-level conspiracy theory spoken of only by “those in the know” has become the everyday chat around the cracker barrel in rural areas like Jackson, Mississippi. Every day so far in this opening month of January 2025, we have brought you story after story showing you the intense end times activity threatening to split America right down the middle, are you paying attention? On this episode, we lay it all out on the table and string the pieces together for you.

Author Christine Coulson spent twenty-five years writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her final project was to write wall labels for the museum's new British Galleries. During that time, she dreamt of using The Met's strict label format to describe people as intricate works of art. The result is this "jewel box of a novel" (Kirkus Reviews) that imagines a privileged 20th-century woman as an artifact--an object prized, collected, and critiqued. One Woman Show (Avid Reader Press, 2023) revolves around the life of Kitty Whitaker as she is defined by her potential for display and moved from collection to collection through multiple marriages. Coulson precisely distills each stage of this sprawling life, every brief snapshot in time a wry reflection on womanhood, ownership, value, and power. "A moving story of privilege, womanhood, and the sweep of the 20th century told through a single American life" (Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind), Kitty is an eccentric heroine who disrupts her porcelain life with both major force and minor transgressions. Described with poignancy and humor, Coulson's playful reversal on our interaction with art ultimately questions who really gets to tell our stories. Christine Coulson spent 25 years writing for The Metropolitan Museum of Art and left the museum as Senior Writer in 2019. She started at The Met in 1991 as a summer intern in the European Paintings Department and returned in 1994 to start her first job at the museum after graduate school. During her tenure, she rose through the ranks of the museum, working in the Development Office, the Director's Office, and the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. In 2017, The Met gave Coulson a yearlong sabbatical to write Metropolitan Stories, her bestselling 2019 novel about the museum. Recommended Books: Katheryn Scanlan, Kick the Latch J.L.

Trust us, you'll never look at filtered water the same way again.Take a nostalgic trip with us as we question whether technology has made us forget the joy (and skill) of old-school navigation. We fondly remember the days of the Thomas Guide while shaking our heads at the tangled web of roads in cities like San Antonio and Los Angeles. Listen as we humorously debate the peculiarities of regional differences within states like California and Texas, and wonder whether Siri can ever match the thrill of getting lost with nothing but a paper map and your wits.this episode promises insights and entertainment that will leave you chuckling long after it ends.
Talking points: masculinity, psychology, myth, JungHot on the heels of the legendary John Lee, I interviewed another founding elder of men's work: Michael Meade. This is a powerful discussion focused on how essential "descent" is for men, and how it's almost completely disappeared from society in favor of endless, destructive growth and commodified "mastery". Powerful words from one of the wisest teachers out there, in my opinion.(00:00:00) - The importance of descent in a man's life(00:11:51) - The signs of descent, and the role of technology(00:22:28) - How the old worldview has collapsed, and the result is collective despair and grief(00:29:39) - How do you deal with the feeling that things are ending?(00:35:20) - The intersection of myth and AI; will they come together? (00:41:29) - Where does the descent actually lead, and the symbolism of water and sword(00:55:13) - How to “get the water”Michael Meade, born and raised in New York City, is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology.

With her new drama The Arrival freshly available on digital and on demand, writer-director Alyssa Rallo Bennett is here to explore the slow-rolling dread of Sam Esmail's 2023 drama Leave the World Behind. Your genial host Norm Wilner stocked up on bottled water before the recording, just in case.
Rumaan Alam discusses Entitlement (Riverhead, Sept. 17), the scintillating follow-up to his National Book Award-nominated novel Leave the World Behind (2020). “A billionaire philanthropist's ambitious young protégé wants her slice of the pie,” Kirkus writes in a starred review. “[Entitlement] cements Alam's status as a talented truth-teller willing to tackle tough issues with grace, generosity, and sensitivity.” Then Kirkus' editors share their top picks in books for the week.
Bestselling author Rumaan Alam is happy to come out of hiding to promote his new novel Entitlement (September 17). “I spend all of my time here in this room hunched over this very computer, it's nice to have an opportunity to exist outside of that.” After the massive success of his last book, Leave the World Behind, Alam is once again focusing on class, but this time honing in on money. “We valorized the rich in this society, and by the same token, one must logically admit that we disregard the poor.” Entitlement follows Brooke as she navigates the sometimes-disturbing world of the megarich and the concerning impact it can have on regular people (whatever regular means anymore). “You can't help engaging or understanding yourself and your accomplishments in American life via money.” Set in the not-too-distant past, the novel says a lot about where we are now and how we got here. “[Michael] Bloomberg as mayor was a fascinating cultural turn. It was the point at which we accepted if you are rich, maybe you know how to do something better. Which is obviously, on the face of it, ridiculous...the end result of that is Donald Trump. Somebody who is not gifted at anything, but feels like he presents himself like he is by virtue of his wealth.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Best-selling author, Rumaan Alam, is turning the spotlight on wealth in his new book Entitlement. This follows his pandemic hit, Leave the World Behind, which was shortly followed by a movie adaptation for Netflix starring Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali. In Entitlement, Alam captures the experience of living in one of the most expensive cities in the world, New York, and how people without trust funds get bent out of shape, pretending to be rich, to fit in. It's about self-delusion, magical thinking, and the American dream - minus the white picket fence.
What might be the largest cyber security glitch-attack in global history is largely being blamed on cybersecurity company Crowdstrike. The name of the firm and timing of the outage is by all consideration more than coincidental: to strike a crowd, exactly what happened to audience members when former President Trump was shot on July 13, and precisely what he has been saying for years: they will have to come through him to get to you. The timing of the outage is within hours of the RNC ending. All of this follows the ongoing obvious trend of lawsuits failing, polls indicating a massive populist resurgence globally, not just domestically, and Biden announcing he may step down to medical reasons. The so-called glitch took down banks, airlines, emergency services, basic business transactions, hospitals, courts, schools, and public transportation. Although not catastrophic, it shows us what may happen naturally or by malicious planning. It's eerily similar to the ending scene of Leave the World Behind, where it is described a three stage maneuver that could topple a country's government from within. ISOLATION: disable communication and transportation. SYNCHRONIZED CHAOS: terrorize them with covert attacks and misinformation, which will force people to turn on each other. COUP d'état: a civil war occurs on its own from all the chaos and confusion.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

You might have seen ads for online banking services that seem to offer a lot of great stuff — accounts you can open in minutes and without a minimum balance or monthly fees. The ads seem to say: "These aren't your parents' boring old banks." But the truth is: Even though they might resemble banks, they aren't.These "bank-like" companies are a type of "fintech" or financial technology company. And this is a story about the potential risks of putting your money into these apps.Banks go through a whole regulatory gauntlet in order to exist. But, in the past several years, there has been a rise in fintechs that skirt regulations. And many of these pose a real threat to even the most savvy of depositors.When a little known tech company filed for bankruptcy a few months ago, thousands of people couldn't access the millions of dollars they saved. On today's show, we meet some of the people affected and learn what the fintech industry reveals about banking regulation.Today's show was hosted by Erika Beras and Sally Helm. It was produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler and Sofia Shchukina with help from James Sneed. It was edited by Jess Jiang and fact-checked by Kevin Volkl. It was engineered by Valentina Rodríguez Sánchez with help from James Willetts.

Vanessa Aspillaga (Dora Saves the Snow Princess, Leave the World Behind) stars in this Puerto Rican and Chilean tale about baby basil, cuddly kittens, and how two heads can be better than one.
Fundraising is a staple of the school experience in the U.S. There's an assembly showing off all the prizes kids can win by selling enough wrapping paper or chocolate to their neighbors. But it's pretty weird, right?Why do schools turn kids into little salespeople? And why do we let companies come in and dangle prizes in front of students?We spend a year with one elementary school, following their fundraising efforts, to see how much they raise, and what the money goes to. The school – Villacorta Elementary in La Puente, California – has one big goal: To raise enough money to send every single student on one field trip. The whole school hasn't been able to go on one in three years. We find out what the companies who run school fundraisers do to try to win a school's business. And we find that this bizarre tradition is ... surprisingly tactical. That's on today's episode. Today's show was hosted by Sarah Gonzalez and produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler. It was edited by Jess Jiang, fact checked by Sierra Juarez, and engineered by Valentina Rodríguez Sánchez. Alex Goldmark is Planet Money's executive producer.
