Regular Joe stands in for Michael Swanson. So we did another Regular Guy News Hour. Harry Potter, Playboy, and the Chosen savior of the ignorant are all covered in the first hour.
In the last few minutes of the first half of this podcast, you might have to hear about sex, drugs, and rocks rolling in people’s heads. The second hour starts with Hurricanes and ends with Cartoons and Dark Crystals. No, I am not high, but the bug bomb really screwed up my throat and eyes.
Pearse Redmond joined in the second hour to remix the news and talk Starship Trump, Clowns, and Cartoons.
This week @Gumby4Christ joined me to discuss Jeffrey Epstein. We focused primarily on the media’s handling of the scandal, and the role they continue to play in covering up the scope of the scandal. Gumby and I talk about the strange behavior of the NY Post coverage since Epstein’s death. Gumby discussed the now infamous photo of Ghislane Maxwell at In-N-Out Burger. He talked about why the Post ran such a dubious photo and how this confused the public. Later we explored how many media outlets and journalists seem to be re-writing their own histories covering Epstein. We looked at one NPR segment that garnered a lot of attention. Gumby and I discussed NPR’s reliance on journalist John Connolly and how that raises serious red flags. We talked about the contradictory story that Connolly seems to spinning regarding Vicky Ward, Graydon Carter, and Epstein.
In the second hour we continued our look into the media and their handling of the Epstein saga. We looked at the NYT’s coverage over the years starting with Landon Thomas Jr. and his almost glowing profiles. We also touched on a recent NYT “The Daily” podcast which featured Maria and Annie Farmer. We looked at how Les Wexner was seemingly erased from Farmer’s story. We round out the episode by looking at the curious case of NY Post reporter Larry Celona, his connections to Stanley Kubrick, and how this factors into the conspiracy culture’s theories on Epstein. We closed out by talking about Steve Bannon and his insertion into the Hong Kong Protests.
Mike Swanson discusses the Fall of The American Empire and how it compares to the collapse of the Roman Empire. Is there a Goldfinger-Style plan in play regarding the current rough waters on the financial seas? Is There Gold in them their shills?
Pearse Redmond discussed with Chuck the strange actions observed in the protests shown on the streets of Hong Kong? Is this merely business as usual? Can anyone really sort out the real story behind the street action?
The show could have gone on, but we needed to stop somewhere.
This week I started off the first hour by ranting about the media coverage the Epstein Saga has received in the alternative and mainstream. I talked about the way we are deliberately being distracted with stories that either go nowhere or push extremist ideologies. I focused particular attention on the photo of Ghislane Maxwell at In-N-Out Burger which appears to have either staged or photoshopped. The troubling theory describing Epstein as part of the global Zionist conspiracy is discussed. I also took calls from listeners.
In the second hour Robbie Martin joined me to continue and expand this conversation. We looked at the way the conspiracy culture has approached this story. Robbie and I discussed the possibility that what we are seeing now is a limited hangout, designed to control the narrative and ensure that those involved are protected. We talked about why it took so long for the FBI to raid Epstein’s house in the Virgin Islands and if that was designed to ensure that information was destroyed. Later Robbie talked about his theory that Donald Trump may have been involved in his own blackmail operation through the use of his hotels. We finished off the conversation with a look at how Trump has utilized Qanon in the past months, becoming an active participant in the cult like group.
As the Jeffrey Epstein narrative continues, Verizon Fios reporter, Dominic Carter, questions the validity of the suicide ruling. As a New York journalist, Dominic is very familiar with the facility where Epstein was held.
Israel sparring with Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib has amplified tensions. In this fiery segment, author, Dr. Jane Ruby and national co-director at Code Pink, Ariel Gold, give us a strong right and strong left perspective, respectively, on the appropriateness of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump’s behaviors.
There are protests happening all over the world, simultaneously. Bob Schlehuber, producer of ‘By Any Means Necessary,’ shares live audio from the streets of Hong Kong. Over the weekend, Portland, Oregon hosted an alt-right, Proud Boys demonstration and Antifa turned out. ‘Loud and Clear’ producer Nicole Roussell attended the event and reports what she experienced.
Lately, Pearse Redmond, host of Porkins Policy Radio, has focused his journalism on Jeffrey Epstein’s affiliates. Pearse shares his findings and begins piecing together the big picture, contributing to Lee Stranahan and Whitney Webb’s research.
NOTE: I have removed this episode because I no longer stand by it. I spoke about this and the problematic reporting in a bonus podcast with Aaron Franz. You can call me a shill for Israel or a Zionist. I do not believe that there is a global Jewish conspiracy and I regret having promoted work that skews in that direction.
Pearse Redmond comes back as a guest to talk about Top Gun Maverick. Pearse, Uncle and Aaron all did a fine job making it to their microphones for this broadcast.
Pearse Redmond returns to the show to talk about Jeffrey Epstein and his financing of transhumanist projects over the years. His money has long been welcomed by a wide range of scientific researchers, but one has to wonder about the full extent of such business relationships.
These are the recently unsealed documents in the Giuffre v Maxwell suit. They were unsealed by order of the 2nd Circuit. I will update this if and when more documents become available.
