The Imagination

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I’m honored to introduce to you, Satanic and masonic ritual abuse and mind control survivor and whistleblower, YouTuber and content creator, first generational New Zealander, credentialed counselor with a specialization in Narrative Therapy, communication skill small group training course facilitator, traditional herbal medicine advocate, retreat co-facilitator, and healing warrior, Poppy Joy. Poppy is a satanic and masonic ritual abuse survivor, was born into a multi-generational incest-based family and has recently been liberated from an immense amount of trauma that her body was struggling to contain anymore. Her memories started to surface in 2017 from a few triggers in her surroundings - including: a vicious semi-wild dog on the loose, a jellyfish sting that gave her a histamine reaction where her entire body was covered in a rash, and swollen lips and other orifices. In Poppy’s shocked state of remembering what she was programmed to forget, her then partner encouraged her to keep breathing through what she was experiencing, and scenes, smells, visions and sound memories started to flood her conscious mind. They were disorganized and chaotic, but over time, Poppy started to connect the dots. Poppy’s earliest memories were related to her senses - she remembered that her eyesight and hearing never developed normally and her perceptions have been energetic, meaning that she can observe the movement of energy, experience telepathy, and with focus can see how black magic practices are done. Poppy discovered that rituals are done to empower government legislation. She found how consciousnesses are connected to calendars and astrological systems and that rituals are performed with dates and planetary alignments. Poppy is super-sensitive to cults and dangerous religions but did not become that way without having many dangerous experiences with them. Church and spiritual abuse had tainted her concepts of Father God and her Mayan connection and intuitive interactions with it brought her to know the true heavenly Father and connect with Him more while also becoming more connected with Mother Earth. Poppy has a degree in Counseling, has specialized in Narrative Therapy, has training as a small group facilitator - teaching communication skills and courses such as “Changes that Heal”. She has studied traditional herbal medicine during cancer/Morgellons treatments, and was a retreat co-facilitator prior to 2017 when her memories started to crowd in. At the time her memories started pouring in, she was not able to tend to other’s lives while her own life needed so much attention. Poppy is still actively on her healing journey and already - she is such a bright light in the darkness, shining her candle wherever she can to heal herself and the world around her.Poppy Joy is literally the living definition of the word ‘Joy’ - one would never, ever guess the horrors she’s went through and healed through and that is one of the many reasons why I am excited for you all to meet her. She has overcome every obstacle put in the way to stop her from healing - including having to leave a therapist she had trusted who embodied Baphomet and betrayed her - and has so much love in her heart that you can just feel it overflowing out of her when she speaks and through her beautiful energy. Poppy is extremely articulate when she speaks and has such a deeply loving and optimistic way of looking at life.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I’m honored to introduce you all to: MK ULTRA super soldier, mind control and ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, poet, content creator, warrior, and my new friend, Mathew Murray!I met Matthew recently in a Twitter Space where there was a dialogue happening around the highly public MK ULTRA breakdown that professional boxer, Ryan Garcia, appears to be going through. Matthew was given the microphone by the host of that Space and began blowing the whistle on his MK ULTRA testimony - and the depth of information he was sharing was so shocking and on-point that I could tell right away he had an incredible story, so I reached out to him about coming on the podcast and sharing. Mathew was born in 1990 to an extremely talented and intelligent woman who excelled at everything she put her mind to. At one point, and unbeknownst to Matthew, he lived in a small town where many of the people around him were and had been used in some form of human experimentation. He believes this was the case with many members of his own family. His mother - before passing away when he was a young child - seemed to know Mathew would need defenses against mind control and from a very young age, began teaching Mathew ideas and truths that are older than anything we remember in history such as old ideas his family held onto for generations in secret. Mathew's childhood was filled with trauma after trauma and it would seem that many of the people surrounding Mathew were involved. From being locked away in a room all by himself to endure long school hours alone to surviving suicide triggers and drugging as an adult. It wouldn’t be until recently when Mathew would begin recovering his lost memories and realizing his life might be different than he formerly thought. He was sought out for his intelligence to be used in these programs and now Mathew is using that same intelligence to shake some sense into society about what exactly is going on behind closed doors. Mathew is going to share his testimony today along with some deep dives into the making of a super soldier and how these abuse systems are actually much more historical and older than any of us would like to believe. When not whistleblowing, Mathew has an awesome TikTok channel where he writes and shares his poetry, and I would encourage you all to follow along his journey! You are going to hear some new and corroborating information today as Mathew shines a bright light on the darkness and I ask you all to please give him your full attention as he speaks about things we were never supposed to hear.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comI am thrilled to have back on - our feature presenter for our Tuesday Night weekly podcast event: Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, Licensed Professional Counselor, Founder of Survivor Support, Podcast host of own podcast and channel  @JonKUhlerLPC and  @UnMaskingTheTransMovement on YouTube, father of 3, husband to his high school sweetheart, survivor advocate, professional knapsack remover, whistleblower, and someone I’m grateful to have on the battlefield with us: Jon Uhler. In case you are new here or missed Jon’s briefing on his background on the first episode we did together, here is a short recap of Jon’s many accolades and credentials: Jon’s work began over 30 years ago and the evolution of his career path is nothing short of astonishing. His education includes attending Epic Bible College, Biola University, Talbot School of Theology, and California State University and Fullerton. He’s worked in both clinical and administrative capacities, outpatient and hospital settings, intensive day treatment settings, residential treatment programs, and in secure (locked) facilities - including over 11 years on Psychology Staff within the Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections where he’s logged more clinical contact hours within Solitary Confinement than any Psych Staff in the entire US. Prior to his work with incarcerated men, he spent years working with sexual abuse Survivors, and treating Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents in group homes and within the largest intensive psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility for troubled youth west of the MIssissippi. I think at this point, it’s safe to say that Jon has been providing all of US with weekly therapy sessions with the immense library of knowledge he has been sharing with us on ‘The Imagination’. I’ve heard such amazing comments from so many of you including how he’s even been helping therapists understand their patients better. This series has been of so much value to all of you following along and Jon’s playlist has become my personal ‘go-to’ for survivors who reachout wondering what their first steps should be after waking up. Re-learning about our psychology and physiology is no easy task and Jon has provided so much helpful education in helping us understand the truth about how trauma affects our bodies as well as what to expect from your therapist when seeking treatmentCONNECT WITH JON:YouTube:  Jon Uhler - YouTube &  UnMaskingTheTransMovement - YouTubeWebsites:-Home | survivorsupport-WELCOME TO - Unmasking The Trans MovementUnmasking The Trans Movement | Revealing the Truth.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I’m honored to introduce you all to: MK ULTRA, ritual abuse and human trafficking survivor and whistleblower, survivor and anti-child abuse advocate, YouTube content creator, absolute warrior, and one of the most selfless servant leaders and warriors I’ve had the honor of meeting in my podcasting journey, Caitlin - or as she is commonly called by people who know her on an everyday basis - Kaity.I met Kaity on Twitter after a mind-blowing and vulnerable post she wrote whistleblowing her experiences in MK ULTRA as the daughter of an MK ULTRA mind control programmer went viral and was seen by over 2 million people. And as her whistleblower post was being circulated around Twitter, I was connected to Kaity through mutual followers, and it was then that we became fast friends. I developed an immediate admiration for Kaity because I not only was inspired by her sheer courage and will, but I also took notice that most of what she spent her time doing online was advocating for others. If a survivor is getting bullied, she is the first one to step in and draw a line in the sand and she’s the first to advocate for unity and peace within the community. Which is amazing considering what she’s survived. Kaity was born in Northridge, California and as I mentioned, she was the daughter of an MK ULTRA mind control programmer, technician and Vietnam veteran radio operator father who was and / or is possibly involved in the CIA, and is heavily involved in the occult, and her mother was a narcissist who was already separated from her father when she was born. It wouldn’t be until later in life when Katy would remember what happened to her, set off on a healing journey, find love in unexpected places, and decide to become a public whistleblower. What is most special about Kaity coming on today is that this will be the first time she has spoken out in full on her testimony. When I think about Kaity, I’m reminded of a quote said by past podcast guest, Carrie Olaje, where she said, “It feels like they honed a really sharp weapon… and now it’s pointed at them.” What Kaity’s abusers didn’t anticipate was that she would rise above all the time, energy and effort they devoted into keeping her quiet and compliant and she would grow up to use her voice to speak loudly about things we were never supposed to hear. They never anticipated she would speak so powerfully that it would put a dent in the universe. They never anticipated her light would shine despite all the darkness. What they DID do was underestimate a little girl who was destined to grow into a hero. And I know Little Kaity is beaming at Big Kaity sitting here before you today who is here to expose and shine a bright light on what happened to her as a young child. Katy’s story is a piece to the puzzle, and I ask you all to put away whatever you're doing and give this hero your full attention as she takes us down a rabbit hole of epic proportions.

I hope those of you listening have been following along because this has been one jam-packed series we’ve been doing! Jon and I have been doing an on-going series of episodes aimed at helping you - dear listener - understand the inner workings of a survivor’s system and all of its moving parts. This is an evolving series of new information every episode to help break-down the ins and outs of therapy from a therapists perspective to help those of you on the other side of the screen know what to expect from a good therapist if you are someone who is healing from extreme childhood trauma, as well as to function as a tool for all of you survivors and advocates watching who are new to learning about systems and parts in order to gain a better understanding of some things you probably weren’t taught in formal education.  CONNECT WITH JON:YouTube:  Jon Uhler - YouTube &  UnMaskingTheTransMovement - YouTubeWebsites:-Home | survivorsupport-WELCOME TO - Unmasking The Trans MovementUnmasking The Trans Movement | Revealing the Truth.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I am honored to introduce to you: Survivor, devoted husband, actor, podcast host of ‘The World’s Mayor Experience’ on YouTube, 2-time international best-selling author of the book “The Devil Inside Me”, entrepreneur and business owner, film and TV producer, talk show host, and HIV and mental health advocate, Joshua T Berglan!In case you haven’t read Josh’s book or heard his testimony on his YouTube channel and podcast, here’s a short summary to catch you up: Josh’s story takes us through a maze of abuse, sex and drug addiction, jail, bankruptcy, divorce, homelessness, losing his children, and almost losing his life… It is the ultimate story of redemption, true love and in taking the pain he suffered for so long and turning it into an important purpose that now serves as being a voice for the voiceless. Josh’s memoir, “The Devil Inside Me” is a phenomenal first-hand account of overcoming what was meant to destroy him and his podcast, “The World’s Mayor Experience” - that I encourage all of you to go subscribe to which features a plethora of amazing guests and topics focused around bringing awareness to HIV, mental health, healing, and so much more. He’s founded multiple businesses and has an innate passion for helping impart media literacy to the youth, and lends his voice and resources to support individuals and survivors battling mental illnesses, HIV, challenges related to sexual identity, trauma from abuse, and the many systemic injustices that plague our society. Josh’s story is a testament to what happens when we decide to slay the devil inside of us and what is possible on the other side of pain and trauma. His beautiful wife, Jessica Linn is a hero in his story and also serves as a reminder of the power of love.I’m so thrilled to have Josh back on again and I know all of you will be too after all the incredible and touching feedback we got in his last episode. In case you missed his incredible first episode - I will have that in the shownotes for you all to check out. In that first episode, we had an incredibly healing and inspirational discussion about becoming and being the person you were made to be and how to overcome trauma in order to use your story to create something that makes the world a better place. And if anyone understands how to do this at a core level, it’s Josh. Having created multiple business entities, platforms, podcasts, and more, Josh has brought forth so many projects that have touched the hearts of everyone who stumbles on his content. Even in moments of immeasurable suffering, he keeps a smile on his face and shows up to inspire others. This was evidenced recently when Josh began experiencing health issues that were impacting his daily life. On today’s episode, Josh is going to - for the first time - give an extension to his already incredible testimony, a ‘Part 2’ - if you will, where he will be expanding on the harrowing autobiography he gave to us in his book, “The Devil Inside Me”. You see, a survivor’s testimony never truly ends as they continue with life. It just expands and grows. A survivor is constantly overcoming the tests of their testimony and in the midst of constantly overcoming obstacles - another miracle happens to the survivor - they become a warrior. An unstoppable warrior. And that is exactly the version of Josh you are going to see today. The version that never stops fighting, never stops inspiring, and never stops his unrelenting passion to help others. Josh is the walking definition of ‘being the change you want to see in the world’ and we are all so lucky to get to learn from this amazing man. I ask you all to put away everything you are doing Support the show

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I’m honored to finally get to introduce to you all: lawyer, researcher on scientific mysteries, MK ULTRA and SRA, writer and author of 3 books including his newest about survivor Katy Groves, survivor advocate, and someone who has been a huge inspiration for me and this podcast, Dr. Marcel Polte. I was first introduced to Marcel through former guest, Ron Alan, who had met Marcel during a project he was supporting called, ‘50 Voices of Ritual Abuse’ - that many of you are familiar with if you’ve been following this podcast. Ron, having been showcased in the ‘50 Voices’ project, introduced me to Marcel in order so we could support the ​⁠ @50voicesofritualabuse project here on ‘The Imagination’. Marcel was the reason my incredible Season 4 opener episode was able to happen featuring courageous survivors Rachel Vaughan, Max Lowen and Elisa E - and I thank you with all my heart Marcel!. Marcel was so generous with collaborating and it was and has been an honor to have representation from that project on this podcast. And now it’s an honor to have Marcel on for his own episode. Marcel is the author of 3 incredible books - that can all be found on Amazon, “Dark New World Order Part 1: MK ULTRA Mind Control, Ritual Abuse and a Global Agenda”, “Dark New World Order Part 2: The Puppet Masters and Their Motives”, and his most recent book, “Uncle Sam’s: An Insider’s Report from the Hell of MONARCH Mind Control” which chronicles the testimony of survivor and whistleblower, Katy / Dylan Groves, who has all but vanished from the internet where for many years she took to YouTube and other platforms to whistleblow the horrors she experienced as a child and woke the world up in ways few had before. As mentioned, Marcel also supported a project called, “50 Voices of Ritual Abuse” where survivors of SRA, MK ULTRA and child sex trafficking came together from all over the world through testimony to share the horrors of ritual abuse in 10-15 minute videos.  CONNECT WITH MARCEL:-Purchase ‘Uncle Sam’s’: Uncle Sam's: An Insider's Report from the Hell of Monarch Mind Control: Uncle Sam's: An Insider's Report from the Hell of Monarch Mind Control: Polte, Dr. Marcel: 9798860171466: Amazon.com: Books-Purchase ‘Dark New World Order Part 1: MKULTRA Mind Control, Ritual Abuse and a Global Agenda’:  Dark New World Order Part 1: MKULTRA Mind Control, Ritual Abuse and a Global Agenda: Polte, Dr. Marcel: 9781696189286: Amazon.com: Books-Purchase ‘Dark New World Order.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comWhat’s up you guys? Welcome to ‘The Imagination’! I’m your host, Emma, and I am thrilled to have back on - our feature presenter for our Tuesday Night weekly podcast event: Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, Licensed Professional Counselor, Founder of Survivor Support, Podcast host of own podcast and channel @JonKUhlerLPC and @UnmaskingTheTransMovement on YouTube, father of 3, husband to his high school sweetheart, survivor advocate, professional knapsack remover, and someone I’m grateful to have on the battlefield with us: Jon Uhler. In case you are new here or missed Jon’s briefing on his background on the first episode we did together, here is a short recap of Jon’s many accolades and credentials: Jon’s work began over 30 years ago and the evolution of his career path is nothing short of astonishing.

Prior to his work with incarcerated men, he spent years working with sexual abuse Survivors, and treating Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents in group homes and within the largest intensive psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility for troubled youth west of the MIssissippi. If you’ve been following along, I know you have found so much value in this weekly series we are doing with Jon and the diversity of topics we are discussing. This series is to serve as a tool for survivors, advocates and therapists to get an insider view and perspective on what to expect going to therapy if you are a survivor as well as what to expect if you are the therapist or helper. We have covered everything from triggers to journaling to handlers to signs that you have DID and so much more. And lately over the course of the last few episodes, we have been breaking down piece by piece and part by part a survivor’s dissociative system and all of it’s parts. To help better our understanding of these complex systems, Jon constructed a graphic for us consisting - quite literally - of moving parts and we’ve been having fun reverse-engineering the system and breaking it down into palatable bites for you all to be able to step into a survivor’s shoes if you are not a survivor as well as to have a better understanding of your system if you’re a survivor who is new to understanding your system. This has been tremendously helpful for me personally and I’ve received the same feedback from many of you. Last week if you remember, I even role-played with Jon and with his help, I attempted to imagine I was a survivor with parts which was quite a humbling experience that made my empathy grow for survivors even more. This information is so crucial for us to know as a society because it’s information about our literal physiology, psychology and biology that is all but left out of traditional academia. Lucky for us, Jon has taken the liberty of learning things he was never taught and is now paving the way in his field as being an authority on dissociation, DID, and extreme trauma. We are all so blessed to get to learn from his decades of research and practical experience and I ask you all to please put away everything you’re doing and give Jon your full attention. Support the show

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I’m honored to introduce you to: Digital veteran, mathematical artist, entrepreneur, scientist, web activist turned human and children’s rights activist, and Hampstead whistleblower, Sabine McNeillAlthough Sabine is well-known today as being a whistleblower, her story didn’t begin that way. Her background is in math and computing where she studied in Germany at the German Computer Center. After college, she began her ideal career at CERN in Geneva where she was able to marry her love of language and her interests of math and computing. Eventually she moved to London to bring to life her innovative ideas and it would be in London where her interest shifted into being an advocate for human rights. Unbeknownst to Sabine at that time, she would eventually stumble on a prolific satanic ritual case that took place in Hampstead in North London involving two child whistleblowers that would change the trajectory of her life forever. I remember when I first stumbled on the Hampstead case, it was while I was scouring the internet for information about satanic ritual abuse. I came across a few videos involving two children - Alisa and Gabriel who were 8 and 9 at the time - who were filmed talking to adults in casual and forensic settings where - in graphic detail - they disclosed horrific abuses perpetuated on them at the Hampstead Christ Church Primary School and the surrounding areas by their father, Ricky Dearman, and the satanic cult he led. These hours of testimony were so horrific I remember sobbing listening to the casual nature of which these small children were talking about such terrible things as satanic rituals, sexual abuse, child murder and sacrifice, and cannabalism. It was the first time I had heard a child disclosure and it left my heart in pieces. Still to this day I cannot watch that video and audio footage without crying my eyes out. These children still to this day remain with their father after corrupt family court took custody away from their loving mother who tried to do the right thing as you’ve seen happen many times on this podcast. The Hampstead case eerily parallels the allegations former podcast guest, Samantha Baldwin, made against her ex-husband after her children began discussing heinous abuse and before they were ripped from her care by the same failed family court child racket system.I remember also stumbling on footage and video of a woman who began whistleblowing this case. A brave and incredible woman who was brilliant, accomplished and who had nothing to gain from stepping up to be a voice for these children. I remember reading how this woman was incarcerated for 4 of the 9 years she was sentenced to for speaking up about this case, and it immediately validated these children’s stories even more seeing how the fake news media was - and still is - actively covering this story up and how they had created a smear campaign against this brave whistleblower who showed up with such passion and emotion to publicly stand up for children who weren’t even hers.This woman was Sabine and it’s an absolute honor to get to finally have her on the podcast as she’s someone who has been an incredible inspiration to me on my journey. I remember watching a video of her in court where she so powerfully advocated on behalf of these children and it still to this day gives me chills to consider the bravery this woman has to have risked her career, her life, her time, and her reputation. All to do the right thing by standing up for two children who had their voices taken away from them. Support the show

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comI’m honored to introduce to you today: Father, Marine veteran, author and writer, Family Court victim, whistleblower, and absolute warrior in a battle for his children: Jim SiscoJim was referred to me by podcast regular and investigative journalist, Mike Volpe, and has an incredibly harrowing and ongoing family court case he is going to present today. He has been in a 2-year custody battle with his ex-wife who currently has full custody of his 3 children. As you’ve seen many times on this podcast, the proceedings in Family Court take advantage of good parents at the expense of children and rulings oftentimes - and horrifically - go in favor of abusive parents. Mike Volpe’s work on ‘The Imagination’ and in his own time over the past decade has showcased time and time again how the court treats children as human commodities and how the court system as a whole functions as a child trafficking racket and criminal enterprises. Although there are many answers to ‘how’ children are often trafficked through Family Court and CPS, there is no reason more widely used across the board than a judge ruling ‘parental alienation’ as a means to an end for parental custody. And if you watched the episode I did with Mike on Parental Alienation, you understand how this is essentially a blanket term that has no true quantifiable definition. The scary part about Parental Alienation is how liberally it’s thrown around without any consistency and how everything and the kitchen sink can be labeled as ‘parental alienation’ when it comes to parenting - even a sarcastic comment to an ex as you’ll see in Jim’s case. The court rulings to strip Jim of access to his children has all but torn apart his life. The last two years he has suffered immeasurably emotionally, financially and physically - including having a stroke as well as having to dish out over $200,000 in legal fees. James was and is a loving and caring father. Every parent that has found the courage to speak out about their custody battles in court is a hero and Jim is no exception. He may be a retired Marine, but he’s a warrior through and through. We are going to be talking about his case today to both educate and ask you for your support. I ask that you please put away everything you are doing and give Jim your full attention.
