    #422 Set the Captives Free: Tom Snow on Miraculous Healing and Spiritual Sovereignty

    Are you feeling spiritually confused, disconnected from God, or questioning the religious traditions you've been taught? In this profound episode of the Sovereign Man Podcast, we welcome Tom Snow, a man whose mission is to help sincere believers navigate the complex spiritual landscape of modern Christianity. Tom shares his incredible journey from a terminal cancer diagnosis at age 15 to a miraculous healing that sparked a 55-year walk with the Lord. We dive deep into the original Greek and Hebrew texts to explore how certain teachings may have led well-intentioned Christians away from biblical truth.

    Welcome back to the Awakening Podcast. Today, we are joined by a man whose personal tragedy has become a catalyst for a global movement. Scott Schara, the father of Grace Schara, returns to share the profound insights from his new book, Is the Government Legally Killing Us?. Following the landmark jury trial surrounding Grace's death, Scott has dedicated over 4,000 hours to researching the "medical-industrial complex" and the systemic ways our health and freedom are being compromised. In this episode, we discuss the "standard of care" trap, the shocking statistics behind chemotherapy and statins, and the broader agenda of population control.

    #420 Hunting the Invisible Man: Roy Daya on AI, Fraud, and the Truth Hidden in Data

    What if the biggest threat to your business—or even your personal sovereignty—wasn't a hacker breaking in from the outside, but a problem hiding in plain sight within your own data? In this eye-opening episode of the Awakening Podcast, we sit down with Roy Daya, a cybersecurity veteran known as "Mr. Wolf" for his ability to solve the most complex data problems. With over 20 years of experience hunting fraud for governments, corporations, and private equity firms, Roy has seen it all. He shares how his AI tool, Prova.ai, uses "Point of View Analytics" to find the subtle patterns and "invisible men" that traditional dashboards miss. From IT insiders siphoning millions to the dangers of AI trained on fake medical data, Roy reveals why data is the ultimate truth-teller and how we can use it to protect ourselves in an increasingly digital world.     Timestamps Timestamp Topic Description 0:00 Welcome & Introduction to Roy Daya 0:45 How Roy became known as "Mr. Wolf" 1:12 From Independent Researcher (Hacker) to Cybersecurity Expert 2:02 The Evolution of Cyber Threats: Embedded operations and internal fraud 3:10 Detecting the "Small Signs": Catching fraud before it scales 4:19 The IT Insider Threat: How one employee got a salary for 150 people 5:14 Drowning in Data: Why organizations can't find the needle in the haystack 6:03 Introducing Prova.ai: Point of View Analytics explained 7:03 The Problem with Dashboards: They only answer the questions you know to ask 8:16 Scanning the Millions: How POVA constructs views to find anomalies 9:53 Finding the Subtle Patterns: Why simple anomalies are easy to hide 10:15 The Invisible Man in the Middle: Identifying correlations in the "crime scene" 11:37 Why It's Impossible to Fake Data: The Christmas Tree effect 12:19 Black Holes in Public Data: What governments and corporations hide 13:22 Fraud at the Speed of Electrons: The speed of modern misappropriation 14:35 The Polygraph Test: Dealing with paranoid customers and high-stakes data 15:52 AI Trained on Bad Data: The risks in medical devices and decision-making 35:01 Potholes and Property Tax: Identifying systemic fraud in municipalities 36:25 OSINT and Data Clusters: How to spot siphoning across multiple accounts 37:57 The "Fixer Upper" Business: Using POVA for private equity due diligence 39:23 The "Hollywood Sign" Analogy: Why fake data always breaks under scrutiny 41:32 Replicating Data 200 Times: The computational power needed to find the truth 43:08 Security Cameras and Probabilities: Why you can't hide from 900 pictures 45:56 The Blackmail Risk: Navigating the ethics of high-level fraud detection 64:54 The Anonymity Myth: How anyone can buy and analyze your data 65:13 Roy's Final Advice: "Don't be interesting" 65:43 Where to Find Roy: Pova.ai and LinkedIn 66:32 Outro: RoyCoughlan.com and the PodFather Network       🔗 Where to Find Roy Daya •Website: pova.ai •LinkedIn: Roy Daya 🔗 About Your Host (Roy Coughlan) •Listen to this episode on Podbean: https://awakeningpodcast.podbean.com/e/roy-daya-hunting-the-invisible-man/ •Explore more podcasts: Find all podcasts at the PodFather Network •Website: RoyCoughlan.com •Need help running your business?

    #417 Ireland Rises: Farmers, Truckers & How to Protect Yourself with Peter Wilson

    Peter Wilson is back and this month we're standing with the Irish farmers, truckers and taxi drivers out on the roads.   This week Peter breaks down what's really happening with the Irish protests, why RTE and mainstream media are blacking out the story, and what it means when Guards from the North show up in balaclavas to pepper spray a 14-year-old. We also cover how the Irish Guards themselves called in sick rather than confront their own people  and what that tells you about where this is heading.   But this episode is full of solutions. Peter shares exactly what protesters should do if approached by police (say absolutely nothing), how a PMA member just won thousands in compensation from a debt collector using GDPR, and how you can start cutting your energy bills today from as little as £25.   About my Guest: Ex Royal Navy gunner and armourer, turned professional fighter. Owned and ran own martial arts gym for about 30 years.

    #416 Awakening to the Plastics Truth: Dr. Chris DeArmitt on Science vs. Mythology

    The awakening often starts with a single moment of betrayal. For Dr. Chris De Armitt, it was his daughters coming home from school parroting a lie: "All plastic is bad and doesn't degrade." As a materials scientist, he knew this was scientifically false—and he was paying premium taxes for this "education." That anger launched a crusade that would lead him to review over 6,000 studies, write The Plastics Paradox, and found the Plastics Research Council. In this awakening conversation, we explore how we've been systematically misled about everything from microplastics to "biodegradable" bags, why your anxiety about plastic water bottles is literally more dangerous than the bottles themselves, and how to spot the difference between genuine science and billionaire-funded propaganda. If you're ready to question what you've been told about "saving the planet," this is your moment of clarity.   Guest: Dr. Chris De Armitt All Episodes: https://www.awakeningpodcast.org Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants: https://roycoughlan.com/ Bio of Dr. Chris De Armitt Dr. Chris De Armitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, CChem) is one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics, microplastics, and the environment. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, he has worked at the forefront of polymer science with companies including BASF, HP, Apple, and Disney. He is the founder of Phantom Plastics and the Plastics Research Council, a network of professors and toxicologists dedicated to sharing scientific truth. After reviewing over 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, he authored The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastics Illusion, both available for free. His work has been featured on CBS 60 Minutes, BBC, Sky News, and The Washington Post. He has advised governments and policymakers worldwide and has never been funded by the plastics industry.   What we discussed: 00:00 Introduction 01:10 How his daughter's homework sparked a global mission 02:10 Expert witness AGAINST plastic — vaginal mesh case & 9,000 settlements 03:35 Peer Reviewed Vs Paid Reviewed 05:30 The Plastic Protestors 06:20 What would make a difference to the Environment 06:50 The Plastic Straw Myth 07:50 The lie of the Plastic in our Bodies 08:20 Why it Does Not  take 1,000 yrs to break down 09:45 How long to Degrade a Plastic bag 11:19 Everylife bags 12:35 Tyre materials have toxic Rubber 14:20 How your body reacts to plastics  16:40 Does Plastics leak into your body from Water bottles 18:00 How Poor Countries sterilize their water 19:05 Testing the Plastic on rats should put you at ease 19:40 People get ill from the Worry of Plastics in your body 20:30 Fed 25% of Teflon to Rats 22:30 Do any Governments pay attention to his studies 24:30 Why taxing plastic bags did not help 25:50 What happens to our Plastic to be Recycled 27:50 Poland new bottle tax 30:35 No Correlation between Recycling and Litter 31:45 The Ocean Plastic Lie 36:20 Is the 8 Billion Population another Lie 37:20 The attacks on Social Media 41:25 His 2 Books on Plastic 42:50 Why are Billionaires lying about the Plastics 46:24 Be Skeptical of Headlines 47:30 Where to find Dr. Chris De Armitt    🔗 CONTACT DR.
