10-11 pm Eastern we heard from the best to be best. Ted, Chuck, and Pearse did their best to continue reporting on the Selection process.
11 pm-12 am James Corbett gave us the Anarchist perspective and a preview of his upcoming JFK Lancer presentation.
Chuck ended up making some word salads and asked about the more intense tone he detected from Mr. Corbett’s website lately.
Pearse Redmond returns to the show to help us all take a look around at the strange place we find ourselves in now. QAnon has come a long way since the days that Pearse and Robbie Martin would talk about it on a weekly basis. American foreign policy has taken a political backseat as Trumpism focuses in on all things domestic.
Mike Swanson started the Tuesday night show with some thoughts on files he was reading related to war footing during the Eisenhower Administration. Chuck went off on a few tangents regarding the insanity of serious considerations being given to the use of nuclear arms. Like in the movie War Games, is the only winning move not to play that game? One wonders about the level of stupidity in the current administration when it comes to using what Trump called the “bigger button”.
Pearse and Chuck discussed the many twists and turns in the less popular DNC reality TV show as it stands in the current season. Is there anything all that strange in Bloomberg buying his way to a nomination by purchasing media time? Trump got and continues to get billions of dollars in media for free, so why not? How bad are the other candidates anyway? Since there seems to be no path to victory for any of them, Is this all simply a gigantic waste of time?
By the way, Roger Stone getting intervention from King Trump might have bothered Trumpets if Obama had done anything remotely similar. If Trump junior gets the nod in 2024, are you ready to leave the country like Chuck? Is Amy Klobuchar the only DNC meat puppet without a per-arranged flaw for MAGA attacks? Is Tulsi Gabbard still in? Yang went bust nang. Is sleepy Joe putting his supporters to sleep? What a mess.
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 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.
