Timesuck with Dan Cummins

From AI breakthroughs and supply chains to TikTok and military might, China’s rise has reshaped global power over the past few decades. Can the U.S. hold onto its superpower status, or is the “American Century” nearing its end? What will the world look like, if reshaped in China's image? All this and more on a VERY informative (and ultimately hopeful) edition of Timesuck.  Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com  [http://www.badmagicproductions.com/] Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89v [https://discord.gg/tqzH89v] Want to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

This week, we deep dive into Pastor Robert Shinn, his Shekinah Church, and his management company 7M Films - and examine how a modern cult has (allegedly) exploited TikTok dancers, financially abusing them, sexually abused them and other members, while also possibly being connected to the very popular and scary Seven Mountains Mandate that currently has strong Whitehouse connections. While this cult is scary, a brewing American attempt at a theocracy is the most disturbing part of this week's information-heavy episode for me.  Hail Nimrod!  Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com  [http://www.badmagicproductions.com/] Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89v [https://discord.gg/tqzH89v] Want to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

In 1980, a camping trip at Australia’s magical Uluru sandstone monolith turned into an international media storm when nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from her family’s tent. Her mother, Lindy, cried out that a dingo had taken her baby. What followed was a decades-long battle of flawed science, media hysteria, wrongful conviction, and one of the most infamous trials in Australian history.

On May 19th, 1977, 20-year-old Colleen Stan was hitchhiking from her home in Eugene, Oregon, to a friend's birthday party in the little Northern California town of Westwood. She was picked up in Red Bluff, California by a young couple, Cameron and Janice Hooker, who were out for a drive with their infant daughter. What followed was one of the most outrageous and lengthy periods of captivity I've ever heard of.  Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com  [http://www.badmagicproductions.com/] Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89v [https://discord.gg/tqzH89v] Want to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?
