I was recently on The Afternoon Commute with Chris Kendall and John Adams to discuss my new show, The CIA and Hollywood. We discuss the first season of the show and what to expect for upcoming seasons. We focus on the culture creation aspect of the CIA, and how they are influencing not only societal norms, but influencing our opinions on events and people. Later we move onto a wide variety of topics including: Chase Brandon,George Orwell, 1984, Animal Farm,The Congress for Cultural Freedom, Peter Wright, Spy Catcher, Ben Afleck, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie The Quiet American, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Chuck Barris, Operation Mockingbird, CBS, The Social Network, Hill and Knowlton, Wag the Dog, Weaponized Culture,Judd Apatow, Modern Art, Presidential Elections, Shepard Fairey, Paul Begala, K Street, Pro Wrestling, The Clintons, Boston Bombing, Sandy Hook, Reality Television, The OJ Simpson Trial,Duck Dynasty,Libertarianism, Anarchism, The Gold Standard, Ron Paul, the Constitution, John Bush,September 11.
This is a wide ranging and long podcast (nearly three hours) We don’t agree on everything, but it is well worth a listen.
Unfortunately most of the American population seems to view Libertarianism and traditional Conservatism as evil. Rather than explore Libertarianism most Americans would rather denigrate it as a political ideology embraced by gun nuts and fringe candidates. In the wake of Paul Ryan being chosen as Mitt Romney’s VP several news outlets published stories about how Libertarians were now suddenly going to shift over to the Romney camp. Paul Ryan is not a Libertarian. Just because you have read Ayn Rand and want to cut the budget does not make you a Libertarian. In fact it is people like Paul Ryan who have given a bad name to both Libertarians and traditional Old Right Conservatives. Well I have decided that Porkins Policy Review needs a shift. Many people such as my self have had to hide our Libertarian leanings from our friends and family so as not to be ostracized. Well it is time to come out of hiding and educate people on the virtues of Libertarianism. The best place to start educating people is on the Libertarian stance on war. So please watch the above video and read the link. You may find out that you have a lot more in common with Libertarians than previously expected.
