So Many Leftover Questions...January 2024 (AE158)

Comments

Here's a This is Hell interview with Christian Parenti. https://thisishell.com/interviews/970-christian-parenti "In the long term there has to be a reorientation of society, away from money making as the central guiding principle. It can be maybe an ingredient in how society organizes economic activity, but ultimately we have to arrive at a set of social relations that put human need and a kind of positive form of human environment-making at the center." Journalist Christian Parenti explores two visions of cities under the crises of climate change and capitalism - as collapsing, stratified wastelands patrolled by an authoritarian state, or as planned communities oriented around mutual aid and rational environment-remaking - and explains why the choice between the two is urgent, and one of political imagination and will.

Yes, there's a lot about Angleton...perhaps most notably his relations with the mob and the deep, obscure relationship between the Zionists and the Lansky Syndicate.

I thought y’all were going to politely ignore my question, but thanks! Bryce, I gotta warn you - paranoid strain sucks.

One thing that I wish you would mention when bringing up the angleton/ Israel connection is that the thing that propels angleton and gives him the reputation as a super spy in the Eisenhower admin is that Israel gave him kruschyev's secret speech, which he then got to the ny times. I suggest go back and read Jeff Morley's "the goy and the golem" at mondoweiss.

No, the kids love Gritty!

More importantly, is your sports-loving son afraid of the Flyers mascot? They're doing quite well this year and maybe can have a deep playoff run.

While most of the uniparty elites draw power from the banks and coastal financiers of Big Capital (and thus defer to the priorities of the think tankies and neocons etc), Trump draws from the regional elites (jet ski dealers etc) and Birchers of the hinterland (Small Capital). Thus his foreign policy goals seek to enrich himself & his Allies, and thus are more parochial and conceivably not aligned with the Rand Corporation etc. Also there’s a lot going on with UFOs: it’s complex af and takes a lot of research to get even a basic handle on the history, let alone figure out the coverups and grok what all the modern players are up to. While you’d think it’s all one big op, that explanation doesn’t pass muster given the extent of the phenomenon/witnesses, and the info that’s been declassified. Check out Richard Dolan’s UFOs & the National Security State (Vol 1&2) for a compelling intro to the subject. Hmu and I’ll put together a short list of YouTube videos for anyone to peruse.

That was Phillies fans & JD Drew deserved it.

My question for a Q&A is whether you support battery-throwing Philly eagles fans.
