    1270: Jamie Mustard | Scientology's Secret World of Disposable Children
    Jan 13 2026
    He couldn't read or write until age 20. Now, Child X author Jamie Mustard is exposing how Scientology's Sea Organization warehouses children like livestock.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1270What We Discuss with Jamie Mustard:Children in Scientology's Sea Organization, where Jamie was raised, were treated as "livestock" — penned in squalid dormitories, denied education, and cared for by untrained adults deemed too unstable for public-facing roles. Jamie didn't attend school until age 20 and could barely write at that point.The psychological conditioning began at age five, when Jamie signed his first "billion year contract" while still believing in Santa Claus. Children were taught that emotion was weakness — labeled "human emotion and reaction" — and punished or stigmatized if they got sick or hurt.Jamie was present during the largest FBI raid in U.S. history (Operation Snow White), yet agents never investigated the children's living conditions. Scientology strategically moved kids between rooms during the raid, hiding evidence of what Jamie calls "animalization."The organization weaponizes family bonds through "disconnection" — if you leave or question the doctrine, you lose everyone you've ever known. Jamie's own mother, still in Scientology, has been turned against him as part of ongoing psychological operations.Despite being functionally illiterate at 19, Jamie escaped and rebuilt his life from scratch — earning admission to the London School of Economics and eventually authoring six books. His story proves that no amount of early deprivation can permanently define your trajectory.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

    1269: Venezuela | Out of the Loop
    Jan 11 2026
    Venezuela's collapse is about way more than socialism and oil. Ryan McBeth breaks down how a resource-rich nation became a cautionary tale on our doorstep.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1269On This Episode of Out of the Loop:Venezuela's collapse wasn't caused by a single villain or policy — it happened because oil money replaced accountability. Institutions were hollowed out, competence was swapped for loyalty, and when the cash dried up, the regime compensated with control instead of reform.Hugo Chavez's "Bolivarian Revolution" brought real benefits early on — redistributing oil wealth and challenging entrenched elites. But the gains depended entirely on high oil prices, and when those collapsed around 2010, hyperinflation, shortages, and mass migration followed.Venezuela matters strategically to the US because it sits near the Panama Canal and Gulf Coast refineries — making it a pressure point for energy markets, migration flows, and criminal networks. China and Russia have both moved in, treating the instability like an open house.Nicolás Maduro wasn't so much a supreme leader as a traffic cop managing competing mafias. The country's power structure fractured into factions — military, political, criminal — each with its own incentives, making any clean transition extremely difficult.Venezuela's story is a reminder that resource wealth without strong institutions becomes a trap — but it also shows that populations who've experienced democracy and prosperity tend to push back. That memory of better times can become the foundation for rebuilding.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.
