EA#15: Jackie Singh, Cybersecurity Expert @HackingButLegal

What happens when the people exposing the truth become the targets? In this episode, we sit down with Jackie Singh — cybersecurity expert for the Biden administration, and host of Hacking But Legal — for a conversation that goes deep on the dark machinery of online harassment. From the Panama Papers to the silencing of whistleblowers, Jackie breaks down how powerful interests weaponize the internet against those who dare to speak up. She also speaks candidly about her horror at watching Pete Hegseth reshape the Army she once served — transforming it into a religious crusading entity — and what the erosion of church-state separation inside the U.S. military means for the country. This one is urgent. Don't miss it.

EA#14: A. Lady - No Blood For Hubris - DT is my Frickin' Guru

A. Lady, author of "Donald Trump is my Frickin' Guru - Deconstructing the Mirage of Despair whilst Encouraging Presence of Mind", and also writes on Substack under No Blood for Hubris.   Her background as a Trauma Clinician has given her a unique perspective on what has been happening in the United States.  She helps us understand that we have been under siege, and that the psy-op mind war we are living in can be counteracted by staying true to our humanity.  Don't let yourself fall into a state of apathy, remain repulsed by many of the things that are going on.    A. Lady explains that our brain's amygdala is the “goat” that Donny gets; it detects incoming threats then shuts down your executive functioning brain, decision making, planning, getting stuff done.  And your prefrontal lobes don’t even know they’ve been hijacked. Many of us suffer from Dorsal Vagal Collapse - where we have become useless to others, frozen, numb, trapped by feeling helpless, hopeless, and permanently damaged.  A. Lady approaches this whole thing with levity and humor, as she describes Donny has left us a steamin’ stinkin’ hunka burnin’ snot-stack of helpless hopeless permanently damaged submissive lint. Don't miss this episode for entertaining moments among real advice to help us get through this moment.  Get A.
