Michael Swanson had the mighty layers of echo-chamber reality in mind when he joined Chuck for his usual Tuesday discussion.
Is religion responsible for the different interpretations of what is and is not true in our society at this time? Mike mentions another book he may release very soon.
Chuck reads Bible verses in the first hour as they were suggested to him by the chatroom. Why is Trump the “chosen one” among hypocrites? How dangerous is a man considered to have the blessing of any alleged god?
Are we becoming more foolishly tribal as social media keeps people from facing ideas that are not their own? Times are strange these days.
Pearse Redmond is still taking a break from the radio, but he is still doing every other Tuesday with us.
Porkins touches on a few key notes related to the Epstein case but doesn’t go too deep. He is currently writing a book on the subject.
Chuck and Pearse spent most of the second hour discussing Iran and other aspects of the destructive American Policy in the Middle-East.
The Resistance War Against America is better known as The Vietnam War. Mike Swanson is currently working on a series of books devoted to the war.
Chuck and Mike discussed a wide range of individuals and historical realities related to many aspects of the conflict. Chuck discusses the flow of events in 1967 and 1968 while Mike fills in some recently revealed information regarding the Defense Secretary at the time.
This conversation was not planned and provides some remarkable insights into a rather dark chapter in American History.
In hour two, Pearse Redmond joined the show and discussed the most recent military coup in Bolivia. President Evo Morales seems to have stood in the way of multinational corporate cabals and their interests in the natural resources of Bolivia. Pearse discussed the idea that minerals often associated with batteries may have been the issue that was Morales undoing.
The pressures and general conditions of narco-trafficking are examined alongside the curious grant of asylum by another state struggling with Narco-concerns, Mexico.
This weeks episode marks not only the 200th episode of PPR but also the start of my show hiatus while I work on my Epstein book. For this momentous occasion I had two good friends of the show join me. In the first hour Robbie Martin and I talked about the return of Qanon as well as the rebranded 8kun image board. We discussed the series of cryptic messages that Q has recently posted and how this has been interpreted by his followers. Robbie and I focused on the cult-like devotion that the Q followers have for their mysterious guru. We also touched on how the Q community has continued to influence the mainstream discourse. Robbie talked about the current Trump look back investigation into the origins of RussiaGate, and how this demonstrates the power of this conspiracy theory. We briefly touch on Tulsi Gabbard’s recent bump in the polls and her continued charade as an anti-war candidate.
In the second hour Ed Opperman joined me to talk about the subject that first brought us together four years ago, the Jeffrey Epstein case. Ed and I talked about the recent Project Veritas “bombshell” report, which features ABC’s Amy Robach on a hot mic talking about the outlet spiking her Epstein report. We talked about how this is not neither new news and how this adds nothing to the discussion of Epstein and his crimes. Ed also gave us an insight into the nasty world of criminal justice. We looked at the criticism of people like Lisa Bloom, as well as the good versus evil mentality that many have when it comes to this case. Ed also talked about the media’s continued campaign of misinformation on Epstein and his conspirators. We discussed the idea that the media is still actively protecting those who knew about Epstein’s crimes, including people like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. Later Ed touched on the coordinated meme-wars on social media related to Epstein. We focused on the #EpsteinCoverup and #EpsteinDidntKillHimself hash tags on Twitter and elsewhere.
This very late bonus podcast is all about my current writing process for my Epstein book. I also touch on the recent conspiracy catnip that has been in the media regarding Epstein.
Mike Swanson and Chuck discussed what is yet to come in financial news. They also discussed the latest news regarding the World Series. Management is ultimately responsible for how business is affected by resource allocation.
Mike also discussed his process for compiling his morning e-mails regarding the headlines before the opening bell on Wall Street.
Pearse Remond talked about the alleged elimination of the alleged leader of ISIS in the second hour.
Do we have questions about this? Yes, we do. Not only is the bizarre narrative as spoken by Trump strange, but the entire history of the story and figure is it, along with odd facts about the location, just seem to lead to many more questions.
This week I welcomed Matthew Alford to discuss all things Brexit. We kicked off the show by talking about Boris Johnson’s rise to power. Matt talked about Johnson’s public persona as an “inbred upperclass twit,” and how this has shaped his political career. Next, we dove head first into the ongoing drama of Brexit. Matt updated the listeners on the latest developments, including the announcement of a general election on December 12. Matt also analyzed recent polls, which suggest that Johnson and the Conservatives will most likely win and therefore push forward with his party’s plan to leave the EU. We talked about the wisdom of holding a second election and why Matt advocates for voting Labour. We also touched on complex issues like the border with Northern Ireland and how Brexit could unravel the delicate political architecture of the peace deal in Northern Ireland.
In the second hour we discussed Donald Trump’s false narrative that he is some sort of “peace president.” Matt focused on why so many in the conspiracy culture seem to latch onto this false narrative. We also spoke about Trump’s destructive policies in Venezuela and the deteriorating political situation in Haiti. Matt concluded the episode by talking about what some in the UK are overlooking (e.g., the UK as a major arms dealer) due to a strong focus on Brexit. We ended by talking about some of the positive initiatives such as climate change activism around the world, and various other protests during which individuals en mass speak truth to power.
This is a special PPR update regarding some important changes to the show. I will be taking a break from the live show to work on my Epstein book. I will continue to do me regular guest spot on The Ochelli Effect and the PPR Bonus Podcast. Please listen for more information.
Are you tired of the alleged urgent matters of the day? Regular Joe and Chuck decided to take a break and bash Florida for an hour.
Teachers get to carry guns in the state that always has the crazy people news covered. Is this a good idea? Is it a shock that Florida is not the first state to adopt this policy?
In the second hour, Chuck took issue with the Porkins show from earlier in the day. Is Pearse falling in line with others when it comes to exhaustion on the Trump Reality show? Is everyone being browbeaten into submission so that apathy is their only defense against the onslaught of stupidity from the 45th POTUS?
This week Kevin Gosztola joined me to discuss the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower case and the possibility of a presidential impeachment. Kevin started by laying out what we know about the CIA whistleblower in question and what is in his complaint. Kevin described how the whistleblower went through the proper channels, and how this was handled by the Director of National Intelligence. We also discussed the allegations in the complaint and discussed why government employees blow the whistle in the first place. We argued that people who blow the whistle tend to believe very strongly in the construct of government and feel strongly about corruption. We also touched on how this whistleblower, as an employee of the CIA, may have viewed this conversation as an affront to the CIA’s stated goals in Ukraine. Kevin and I also looked at some of the secondary figures named in the complaint like Kurt Volker whose connections to Raytheon and NATO might have more to do with this story than meets the eye. We also discussed the possibility of impeachment and the political nature of impeachment and how this could backfire for the Democrats in the future.
This month Chuck Ochelli and I finally do our review of South Park Season 22, and touch on the start of Season 23. We talked about the frankly disappointing previous season and why we thought it missed the mark. We broke down every episode and discussed the major themes. Later we talked about the premier of the latest season. We finished off the episode by looking at several other current cartoons which we are also following including, Archer, Rick and Morty, and BoJack Horseman.
