Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comI’m honored 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 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.When Jon is not providing professional therapy or podcasting, he serves in an advocacy role, toward helping increase safety for vulnerable women and minors, who are being placed in harm's way by those pushing dangerous ideologies, public policies, and legislation. It’s been such a treat to have Jon on the show with us each week and the value he’s provided so far is priceless. If you’ve been tuning in the last few weeks, you’ve seen that we’ve deviated from the conversation around a survivor’s systems and parts and have been doing a deep dive into the mind of sexual deviants and perpetraitors in order to better understand the type of person who would traumatize and abuse a child to begin with. Jon’s incredible insight into healing survivors through his 30+ years of working with sexual abuse and trauma victims mixed with his unparalleled work working in solitary confinement with some of the worlds most sexual deviants makes Jon is a force of nature in being able to explain both sides of the story - from both the survivor’s AND the perpetraitors point of view. Jon’s presentations help those of us listening be able to understand two sides of an abuse spectrum that can be so difficult to comprehend if you’re not an abuse survivor, and it’s extremely valuable information in helping survivors claim their power back.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.comThis week we are welcoming back podcast regular and the most viewed guest we’ve had on ‘The Imagination’: ritual abuse, child trafficking, and mind control survivor, mother, entrepreneur, tattoo cover-up extraordinaire, artist, gallery and tattoo shop owner, podcast host of her own incredible YouTube channel @carrieolaje , educator, and walking miracle: Carrie Olaje!In case you’re new here or missed Carrie’s first episode where she walks us through her testimony - here’s a short recap: Carrie was born into a multi-generational incest-based family and from a young age was sold into government-sponsored child slavery and behavioral modification programs with the goal of making her a child assassin, sex slave, and ritual butcher. Her abuse was perpetuated initially by her father who then passed her on to other owners and handlers who furthered her programming, trafficking and ritual abuse. I encourage you all to go watch the important testimony we did on our first episode together as Carrie quite literally paints us some massive disclosures that give deeper insights into the operational and orchestrated aspects of satanic rituals and abuses that happen within these occult networks. Since Carrie’s first time on the show, we have done multiple episodes together with her solo, as well as a couple incredible panel episodes alongside two other warriors on the battlefield: Nathan Reynolds and Grey. The last couple times Carrie was on, she covered topics in-depth such as DID, dissociation and alters, as well as continued our deep dives into the rituals, programming and events she was forced to partake in as a child. Carrie has a unique way of shining a light on the darkness by using visual art and photography to help explain what is so hard to comprehend to those of us on the outside looking in. Her bold, brave, raw, and vulnerable way of storytelling only adds to the compelling nature of her art which explains so much more than words ever could. Her ability to be so courageously uncensored when talking about the reality of satanic ritual abuse, human trafficking and mind control has been ground-breaking in helping us understand the depths of these difficult topics and her way of educating and sharing has been instrumental in exposing the truth about the levels of depravity that these children experience and survive. When you hear what Carrie went through and see where she came from, it is impossible for your jaw to not fall on the floor when you see where she is now. When survivors speak their testimonies, they are sharing information that we were never supposed to hear. And this is exactly why we need to and should be listening to brave warriors like Carrie who are quite literally risking everything to share this information with us. Today, Carrie will be expanding and diving deeper into the topics we’ve been discussing together, and I encourage you to take notes while you listen.One of my favorite quotes said on this podcast that I refer to often was by Carrie that stands true for her and for all survivors. When talking about where she is now in her healing and how she looks at her abusers today, Carrie said, “It’s like they honed a really sharp weapon… and now it’s pointed at them” - and nothing could be truer about Carrie and - as she demonstrates and encourages - about all survivors. Carrie lives and breathes this example by shining a bright light on it all - detail by detail - leaving no stone unturned and nothing hiding in the darkness.  CONNECT WITH CARRIE: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 to you a testimony of hope and healing through survival and teamwork brought to you by an incredible duo who are both here today to share the struggles and triumphs of healing from satanic ritual abuse.Introducing our first guest: Satanic ritual abuse and mind control survivor, 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 JoyAnd our second guest: 50-year-old Kiwi Mother, healer helping survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse and extreme trauma specializing in Brandon Bay’s ‘The Journey’ method of emotional release and cellular healing, and intuitive empath helping survivors to recover themselves and take over their soul-light power: Marie Freeman Poppy and Marie are here today to share with you an incredible journey of healing from unfathomable events. Poppy is a Satanic ritual abuse survivor who has recently been liberated from an immense amount of trauma that her body was struggling to contain anymore. She hadn’t found the support she needed until things reached a psychotic peak after a therapist she had trusted embodied Baphomet and dealt out her version of ‘tough love’ as she called it.She received some welcomed help and miraculously got herself into a safe living situation and could focus on herself more. Her physical symptoms got more and more chronic until she was mostly having bedrest, meditating, doing what she knew but was unable to let a pressure cooker pot of suppressed memories out. It was then that Poppy met Marie who connected with her through her Mayan reports. Poppy would call Marie in moments of distress and panic and Marie would tell her she could work with her to support healing. But it took Poppy a while to trust, having been burned by others who do not understand the complexities that come with Satanic ritual abuse.And what Poppy and Marie have discovered together is amazing. For example - due to the age and stage of SRA at 2 years old Poppy experienced, her eyesight and hearing never developed normally and her perceptions have been energetic, which means that she can observe the movement of energy, experience some 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. She is super-sensitive to cults and dangerous religions but did not become that way without having many dangerous experiences with them.Church spiritual abuse had tainted her concepts of Father God and her Mayan connection and intuitive interactions with it brought me to know the true heavenly Father and connect with Him more while also being connected with Mother Earth. Marie and Poppy’s story is important as it showcases the importance of finding what works right for your individual healing needs if you are a survivor, as well as finding the right person or team of people to help assist in your healing.

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. If you’ve been following along, you know that Jon has been taking us down some deep dives into the therapist’s mind when working with survivors with DID and extreme trauma as well as what a survivor should expect when working with a therapist. These episodes act as ‘cheat codes’ for us to learn the nuances of what getting help should look like if you’re a survivor of SRA, human trafficking, and mind control and they are also extremely insightful for helpers and of survivors to better understand how to support survivors. Re-learning how our bodies work is paramount to healing as a society and individually and Jon is just the right person to break down these boundaries so we can all see more clearly.  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’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. Before I finish introducing today’s guest - I wanted to give a couple reminders and updates: If you’d like to be on the podcast as a guest or share any information privately with me, please email me at imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com. You can also use this email if you’d like to be a part of my new book series featuring written survivor testimonies. You can find the video with all the details on how to submit YOUR testimony on any of my podcast channels.

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.

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
