TYRs Day is always informative and fascinating. You just gotta “Know when to hold ’em? and “Know when to fold ’em” when the dealers shuffle the cue cards. Michael Swanson is back from his vacation and he started with a bang. Chuck and Mike talked about the evolution of Las Vegas, The landscape of the American gambling industry, and how both seem to make perfect sense when compared to the proliferation of the American media industrial complex.
Poker is a hell of a game and seems to be what all political and media creatures enjoy playing. Sadly The House is actually the consumers, and the highest rollers and all staked by the corporations who don’t care what the price paid by people is for their profits.

“So spin that wheel
Cut that pack
And roll them loaded dice
Bring on the dancin’ girls and put the Champagne on ice” …
Porkins arrived in the second hour to talk about all the news that might not be worthy of coverage to some who like their echo chambers fully climate controlled.
What is the real deal with Venezuela? How should we value the trickle of the truth finally being heard on the Jeffrey Epstein saga? Chuck and Pearse briefly debate the possibility of winning in light of the limited hangouts and speed of death by memory hole that remotely valid information suffers in the current infotainment environment.
Are you ready for the Cohen fiasco? Is there another Libya in the near future? What can be said about alleged men who think the best way to intimidate others is Twitter? How is the Kakistocracy treating you?
This week my guests are Ed Opperman and Brian Heiss. First, we covered the latest development in the #MeToo saga: the allegations that Asia Argento abused actor Jimmy Bennet. We discussed who may have leaked this to the New York Times and why. We also touched on the complexities of sexual abuse, and how many victims go on to victimize. The conversation then shifted to the recent Pennsylvania Attorney General report which investigated rampant sexual abuse in the state’s Catholic Church. We talked about our own experiences growing up Catholic. And the culture of abuse within the church and the disturbing levels to which the clergy covered this up.
In the second hour we took aim at Pope Francis and his record of hypocrisy in the mishandling child sex abuse. We touched on Francis’ protection of Cardinal Pell, his former number three at the Vatican, who is now facing charges of child abuse. I also mentioned that Francis presided over the funeral of disgraced Boston Cardinal Bernard Law. We also explored the culture of abuse within the church and the Vatican. Ed and I also explored whether these pedophile priests are men of God or using the cloth to gain access to vulnerable minors. Finally, we closed out with some breaking news on Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort.
NOTE: I got confused when talking about Yashar Ali. Ali was the person who dug up old pictures of Chelsea Manning hanging out with Jack Posobiec, Cassandra Fairbanks, Lucian Wintrich, and others.
First Hour Mike Swanson begins a discussion on the engineering of the U.S. Economy previous to it’s incarnation pre-Federal Reserve by hinting at an examination of manipulation by the elite cast in American history that continues to prevail in today’s allegedly technological atmosphere, This will let us understand what was going on at the turn of the century 18 years ago and 118 years ago equally. Much more to come in the next few weeks from Mr. Swanson. Lots of History to discover , perhaps explaining the chaos of the current era.
