When Men Become Gods: Mormon Polygamist Warren Jeffs, His Cult of Fear, and the Women Who Fought BackIn When Men Become Gods, New York Times bestselling author Stephen Singular casts a light on a dark corner of religious extremism. He reveals a group of fundamentalists operating in the present-day United States, where teenage girls are kept in virtual bondage in the name of upholding the "sacred principle" of polygamy.As the leader and self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, a sect of Mormonism based in isolated southern Utah, Warren Jeffs held sway over thousands of followers for nearly a decade. His rule was utterly tyrannical. In addition to coercing young girls into polygamous marriages with older men, Jeffs reputedly took scores of wives, many of whom were his father's widows. Television, radio, and newspapers were shunned, creating a hidden community where polygamy was prized above all else.But in 2007, after a two-year manhunt that landed him on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List, Jeffs's reign was forcefully ended. He was convicted of rape as an accomplice for his role in arranging a marriage between a fourteen-year-old girl and her nineteen-year-old first cousin.In When Men Become Gods, Edgar Award nominee Stephen Singular traces Jeffs's rise to power and the concerted effort that led to his downfall. It was a movement championed by law enforcement, private investigators, the Feds, and perhaps most vocal of all, a group of former polygamous wives seeking to liberate young women from the arranged marriages they'd once endured. The book offers new revelations into a nearly impenetrable enclave---a place of nineteenth-century attire, inbreeding, and eerie seclusion---providing readers with a rare glimpse into a tradition that's almost a century old, but that has only now been exposed.https://amzn.to/4wbSxkhBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

DOUBT: The Madeleine McCann Mystery :Nick van der Leek & Lisa WilsonDid the little girl at the centre of the most heavily reported missing-persons case in modern history ever go “missing” to begin with?If Madeleine was never abducted, if she died on May 3rd, why was it reported as an abduction?Despite the absence of a trial, what we have now is a fairly precise version of events from the McCanns themselves, a by-product of their relentless PR. We also know the original lead investigator, Goncalo Amaral’s, counter-narrative, now a legally defensible matter of public record.The questions that arise from these opposing narratives are dead simple:Which narrative is more credible?Which narrator is more credible?What was the motive behind all the publicity? Neither Madeleine nor her abductor ultimately benefited from the ongoing media barrage, so who did?True crime maestro, Nick van der Leek, plumbs quagmires of confusion and a thicket of thorny inconsistencies to probe what lies beneath: the psychologies. What is the significance of "doctors" as suspects? Did it matter or mean anything that the McCanns and their cabal of friends in the Algarve were mostly doctors?Peeling away the gossamer threads, over the course of just four days [April 29th – May 2nd], van der Leek intuits that very little was routine: not the weather, not where meals were eaten, not where or when they slept and not what they did as a family. But what were their routines when it came to other, murkier things, like sleeping patterns, cell phones and sedatives?Drawing intangibles out of the darkness, van der Leek sews the vexing loose ends from several conflicting stories into a definite - if not definitive - end-result.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The Octopus of Global Control is a controversial, nonfiction book detailing how those in positions of power are able to manipulate society for their benefit, why they believe that they are entitled to impose their warped world view of reality on mankind, and how we can break free from their grip.The eight tentacles of control that are wrapped around humanity are the Military, Governmental, Covert, Physical, Financial, Media, Spiritual, and Scientific. The book tackles topics such as uncovering the Deep State, false flag terror events, the media’s role in manufacturing wars, the 9/11 deception, the fraud of central banking, our broken education system, the use of religion to shape society, and the corrupted medical industry.The Octopus of Global Control footnotes these important events by featuring quotes and first-hand observations from over 500 witnesses and participants that were involved in the most important events in our history. Their words add context and help to paint the picture of these historic events by explaining who these people were, what they said, why it matters, and what actually happened.The author, Charlie Robinson, accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of blending the seriousness of these topics, and the respect they deserve, with dark humor, sarcasm and wit, that allow the reader to laugh at the preposterous while grasping the importance of these lessons. https://amzn.to/4bJyCknBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Some girls get trust funds. Jenna Gonyea got a relentless, inherited itch for the truth – and a box of redacted files that just made it worse.Inspired by his parents’ secret CIA lives, John Gonyea weaves a fictionalized narrative that guides you deep into where the CIA, big-tech, and the church all collide. Creatively transforming his family’s memoirs into an espionage tale, Gonyea leans heavily into the infectious charm of his perceptive daughter Jenna and her journey for the truth.In the heart of Texas, 26-year-old Jenna Gonyea thought her biggest problem was keeping her freelance AI business ahead of the next Silicon Valley unicorn. Then a single offhand remark from her father about growing up in a mental hospital cracks open a family secret that refuses to stay buried.Jenna is sharp, restless, and doggedly focused. Her striking appearance and youth leave strangers underestimating her at their peril. She built Roger, her custom deception-detection AI, because the world lies too easily and she’s done letting it slide.One phone call about Perry Point VA Hospital—where her CIA grandmother and psych resident grandfather lived in the 1950’s—turns curiosity into obsession. Old letters, cassette tapes, and yellowed memos reveal that her grandparents weren’t just witnesses to MKUltra; they were inside it. And the program never really ended. It went deeper, darker, and far closer to home than Jenna ever imagined.Now someone is willing to kill to keep it running. A whistleblower needs protection. The countdown is ticking. Jenna, with the help of her new-found ally Paul and her refusal to look away—finds herself racing assassins, hacking classified systems, and chasing the same ghosts her grandparents once served.The deeper she digs, the uglier the question becomes: Were Jerry and Helen Gonyea patriots who believed they were saving the country from communism, or complicit participants in a machine that learned to devour its own? And if the darkness is in her blood, can she expose it without becoming it?Misguided Patriots is a propulsive, present-day conspiracy thriller about inherited secrets, the weaponization of truth, and one brilliant, unstoppable woman who will burn the whole house down rather than live with a lie.https://amzn.to/4wQzZWNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
