LUMPENPROLETARIAT—[Wednesday, 15 MAR 2023] Greetings, fellow readers. Here are some of today’s media/press notes to help us track and make sense of this plandemic dystopia we all find ourselves living through in the 2020s, including inverted totalitarianism, medical authoritarianism, medical apartheid, police state surveillance, repression, and lockdowns, COVID-19 psyop, post-COVID-19 controlled demolition of the global economy, looming food crisis, the rise of neo-feudalism, houseless encampments of the neo-peasantry, nuclear danger, creeping WWIII provoked by US/NATO/AUKUS imperialism against the BRICS nations and the global south, military pollution, petrol pollution, corporate pollution, chemical pollution, geoengineering, chemical cloud seeding, endocrine disrupting chemicals in the food and water, a worsening global fertility crisis, and industry-induced climate change leading to a climate crisis of melting ice caps, record heatwaves, tornadoes, floods, drought, drying rivers, and other extreme weather events, which threaten life on Earth.
Let’s learn together and find solutions together. Let’s build working class solidarity. Let’s build human solidarity. Let’s form groups and “act for justice”. “[There’s] power anywhere where there’s people, as Fred Hampton said. Siempre hay esperanza. (Please see below for samples of today’s news cycle.)
Some of us were afraid to speak out in 2020, even though we sensed, and soon began to recognize, something was terribly wrong with the statistics we were being fed by the corporate media about the so-called coronavirus pandemic. There’s a lot your author could say about the events of 2020 to this day,
from the surreal and nonsensical lockdowns, which destroyed many small businesses, against logical pandemic protocol of quaranting the sick (not the whole society);
the lack of, or suppression of, autopsy procedures of deaths associated with SARS-CoV-2 and the range of symptoms labeled by officials as COVID-19;
the persecution of highly credentialed and respected doctors, such as Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Mary Bowden, and thousands of other doctors, who were successfully healing COVID-19 patients and saving lives by doing their jobs and finding and repurposing safe and effective existing drugs and medications and treatments to save lives;
the fraudulent use of Emergency Use Authorization for the new COVID-19 injections, which requires that there be no other existing treatments, to push cytotoxic, experimental gene therapy drugs on the population, a population, which was misled to believe those synthetic and dangerous injections were safe and effective when they were not, which was misled to believe there were no medical alternatives to the big pharma COVID-19 injectable drug products when there was;
the repression of the community standard of care, which means that when a single doctor finds something, which is a safe and effective early treatment, a panel of doctors ought to be organized to share information and best practices across the nation, to share the best available knowledge of early treatments, not to be coerced into listening to an unscientific, top-down medical dictatorship;
to the official U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data, and other similar official reporting systems in other nations, which reveal obscene numbers of deaths after the injections. Dr. Jessica Rose and Dr. Peter McCullough published a groundbreaking study in a medical journal after going through a rigorous peer-review process. The paper, “A Report on Myocarditis Adverse Events in the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in Association with COVID-19 Injectable Biological Products” by Jessica Rose, et al (30 SEP 2021), was later canonized on PubMed, the nation’s repository for scientific papers. But after a few weeks, without reason or explanation, the paper was inexplicably withdrawn from PubMed. To this day, the authors, Dr. Jessica Rose & Dr. Peter McCullough, have not been given an explanation for why. (cf. “STUDY: Government’s Own Data Reveals that at Least 150,000 Probably DEAD in U.S. Following COVID-19 Vaccines” by Brian Shilhavey, Editor, Health Impact News, 20 SEP 2021.) The Rose & McCullough study deals with statistical probability because the VAERS system is optional; so, doctors are not required to report the deaths. And because the antiquated reporting system takes almost an hour to fill out each report, the best statistical estimates indicate only a certain percentage of the actual deaths have been reported. Last I checked, there were at least 40,000 deaths, which is outrageous by that count alone. But the best scientific, statistical analysis of the VAERS data, however, estimates the actual deaths due to the COVID-19 injectable drug products is at least 150,000.
The only plausible explanation for the PubMed censorship of the Rose & McCullough study is to cover up the injuries and deaths, which have followed the rollout of the cytotoxic experimental gene therapy COVID-19 injections. Since then, many other experts have reviewed the Rose & McCullough study and concluded that, at minimum, 150,000 people have died, as a result of the reckless decision by Anthony Fauci and other officials to push the COVID-19 drugs onto the American people without adequate safety data.
In the past, when experimental drugs were put out for public use, as little as about a couple dozen people dead would be enough of a safety signal to pull that new drug off the market. And, now, we see officials, with the collusion of the corporate media/press to obfuscate, conceal, and cover up the deaths by censoring the Rose & McCullough study, as well as all other similar studies since then.
So, we have all of the unnecessary deaths due to the SARS-CoV-2 infections because Mr. Fauci and other officials denied safe and effective early treatments to patients. And doctors were persecuted, as noted above, for trying to do their jobs. And, because of corporate HMO monopolization of the health care industry, it was very easy for the top-down management to intimidate and coerce doctors into ‘just following orders’, in contradiction to their Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. And, mind you, the evidence is overwhelming now that the chimeric virus was lab-engineered, funded by the U.S. government, and a product of the U.S. Military.
Apart from those two categories of COVID-19 deaths, from (1) the infections and (2) soon after the injections, we have (3) a third group of deaths of people, who died long after the injections. This is known as ‘excess mortality’, which was initially flagged by the insurance industry actuaries, who were having to pay excess life insurance policies. Every year, a predictable number of deaths occur due to the range of causes of mortality. But after the rollout of the cytotoxic, experimental COVID-19 injectable drug products, gene therapy injections, inexplicably high numbers of deaths were being reported. When the insurance industry and other concerned analysts looked for explanations, the only new variable, the most plausible explanation, is the COVID-19 injectable product rollout.
Now, the truth, which many of us have been speaking out about, despite the medical McCarthyism and politicization of public health policy, now the truth is coming out, as we’ve seen with last week’s Congressional Subcommittee Hearing on the Origins of COVID-19, the Wuhan Cover-Up, as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s forthcoming book is exposing: The Wuhan Cover-Up: How US Health Officials Conspired with the Chinese Military to Hide the Origins of COVID-19 (Children’s Health Defense)
Please use the letter builder at 10 Letters dot org to raise up your voice to ask your state’s Attorney General (and your Governor, for good measure) to convene a Grand Jury for individuals utilizing ‘GAIN OF FUNCTION’ research for Crimes Against Humanity.
Below is a copy of the letter your author built with the letter-builder. Please join us to get to the bottom of the most heinous crime your author, like the other endorsers, joining Dr. Richard M. Fleming’s letter, has witnessed in his lifetime.
Friday, March 17, 2023,
California Attorney General
Rob Bonta
1300 I St.
Ste. 1740
Sacramento, CA 95814
Attorney General Bonta,
As a concerned citizen of your state. I am writing you to request that you bring before a grand jury a matter of utmost importance concerning crimes against humanity employing ‘Gain of Function’ research in the United States.
We, the people, did not consent, and do not consent, to the reckless endangerment of public safety by the past and ongoing ‘Gain of Function’ research or any bioweapons research. The notion that the manipulation of biological viruses or the development of synthetic viruses, synthetic spike proteins, or synthetic mRNA or any permutations thereof are being done in the interest of public health is utterly absurd.
There is a growing body of literature, which evidences the sundry problems, which follow from ‘Gain of Function’ research, especially covert research funded by the US state ‘power of the purse’ in labs around the world, including in Ukraine.
Please read the following literature:
Dr. Mary’s Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing Monkey Viruses Are Linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK Assassination and Emerging Global Epidemics by Edward T. Haslam (Trine Day, 2014)
COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey by Peter R. Breggin, MD and Ginger Ross Breggin (Lake Edge Press, 2021)
The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (Children’s Health Defense) by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (Skyhorse, 2021)
The Wuhan Cover-Up: How US Health Officials Conspired with the Chinese Military to Hide the Origins of COVID-19 (Children’s Health Defense) by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr (Skyhorse, 2023)
There are many problems, which have followed from the chimeric viruses, which have been developed and weaponized as a result of ‘Gain of Function’ research, which must also be reckoned with and, for which people must be held accountable. But the first step is to hold accountable everyone, who has been involved with the ‘Gain of Function’ research, for which overwhelming evidence exists and is being presented to you.
I have joined my voice with a growing contingency that is asking you to review the material links contained in a letter written by Dr. Richard M. Fleming – one of the foremost research scientists on SARS-CoV-2 Virus and COVID-19.
In addition Kevin W. McCairn, PhD – Neuroscientist, Charles Rixey, MA – US Marines WMD Expert, Johanna Deinert, MD – Medical Doctor, and Andrew G. Huff, PHD – Infectious Disease Epidemiologist and Former V.P. EcoHealth Alliance; are in agreement with this letter and have corroborating evidence.
Specifically, I am asking that you help to convene a Grand Jury for individuals utilizing ‘GAIN OF FUNCTION’ research for Crimes Against Humanity. Dr. Fleming’s letter contains links to all the information you may need to pursue indictments for the individuals responsible for the travesty of COVID-19. Please confirm receipt of my letter and your plans to move forward with our demand for justice.
Sincerely,
[signed]
I think our priority should not be electoral politics. I think our priority should be building disciplined, organized militant popular movements. And electoral politics can be part of that movement, but shouldn’t be the primary focus. We have to rebuild those organizations because the only strength we have is in our numbers. And, if we use those numbers correctly, we can pit power against power. But that requires organization.

- “How Covid lockdowns primed the current financial crisis” by Christian Parenti, The Grayzone, 15 MAR 2023. In this decent explanation of how the #COVID19 lockdowns inflicted unnecessary economic pain on the American people, including contributing to the Banking Crisis of March 2023, Dr. Christian Parenti uses the term “Lockdown Left”, which is unfortunate because he’s referring to liberals (i.e, pro-capitalists or non-anti-capitalists), mainly the Democrat Party (i.e., pro-capitalist or non-anti-capitalist) types, who bought into the Anthony Fauci-led COVID-19 agenda, not the actual left (i.e., anti-capitalists), like socialist and communist types. But, hey, whatever, we know Dr. Parenti means liberals (i.e., pro-capitalists or non-anti-capitalists). The establishment media refers to “the left” when they refer to the Democrat types, who bought into the unnecessary lockdowns, the unnecessary mask mandates, and the unnecessary injection mandates, as opposed to the Republican Party types, who tended to be opposed to the COVID-19 agenda. Both of those camps are pro-capitalist. Again, it may be a little thing, but it makes a huge difference because liberal/Democrat types give the actual left a bad name. Other than that bit of misleading terminology, the article documents many important aspects of the post-COVID world, which is usually left out of discourse around the COVID-19 agenda and the Banking Crisis of March 2023.
- “🚨 CBDC Roll Out: Prepare Now | CBDC Everything You Need To Know” by Lena Petrova, CPA – Finance, Economics & Tax [via YouTube], 15 MAR 2023. [8min 22sec] Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are a new form of digital currency, which the power elite want to impose on society, as they make moves to socially engineer a cashless society of totalitarian surveillance. CBDCs are a programmable type of digital currency, which will make it much easier to cut off people’s access to their own bank accounts, if they fail to comply with totalitarian controls, like the dissident Canadian truckers, who were protesting against forced medical experimentation, and then had their bank accounts digitally cut off by the Trudeau administration to repress freedom of speech and to destroy the right to peacefully assemble for a redress of grievances. China’s CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) have “expiration dates“, making them ‘use it or lose it currencies’. “Nigeria has been suffering”, Lena Petrova reported, as Nigerians have been forced to use CBDCs, which impose withdrawal limits causing major problems for Nigerians. The Nigerian experience with totalitarian CBDCs provide Americans with a glimpse into this nightmarish future the global power elite have in store for the people of the world. The San Francisco Federal Reserve recently took major steps to advance CBDCs in the US. And the US Federal Reserve is launching FedNow, a new CBDC payment system, in July 2023, accompanied by a deceptive gaslighting campaign, emphasizing ‘convenience’ to deflect attention away from the evident totalitarian ulterior motives. And, of course, the timing of the Federal Reserve quietly advancing the totalitarian CBDC currency, as the nation is distracted, or engrossed, by the banking crisis, which threatens to precipitate another global financial crisis, is very interesting. Isn’t it?

- “How the GI Bill’s Promise Was Denied to a Million Black WWII Veterans” by Eric Blakemore, History, 21 JUN 2019 (last updated 20 APR 2021). | It is said to this day in textbooks, the “VA home loan program was established after World War II to help military veterans finance the purchase of their homes with affordable loans.” Your author is quoting, there, a 2018 financing textbook being taught at his local college in 2023. Appallingly, the textbook is lying by omission because we know the VA home loan program tended to exclude non-Euroamericans, “even when their financial pictures are similar, according to a realtor.com® analysis.” And, of course, we know about the shameful legacy of US racial residential segregation engineered by the real estate industry. These types of omissions, or gaslighting, are endemic throughout US academia. But it’s not just about “race” (i.e., ethnicity). It’s about class warfare from above because poor whites catch hell, too, by the ideologies, which prioritize capital over labor. And this is why we need educators to teach the truth, not comply with the white supremacist status quo in the US. We know the US began as a white supremacist society, with genocide against the First Nations, the Native Americans, with slavery, and with contempt for non-whites, even non-WASPs in the early days. That has been the character of the US status quo for most of its existence. The democratizing tendencies of the Civil Rights movements of the mid-20th century were resisted by the establishment and power elite, and much of the population. The Civil Rights leaders were covertly infiltrated and undermined by intelligence programs, such as COINTELPRO, leaders were assassinated, and so on. The Civil Rights movement was intimidated and placated. Jesse Jackson and Dolores Huerta, for example, did not follow in the footsteps of Malcolm X or MLK. They sold out. The establishment smashed the civil rights movements because their democratizing tendencies threatened their ability to prioritize capital over labor. So, there was a brief window of time, when the US establishment had an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. But, as MLK said, doing so was going to cost them something—reparations for the harm done—not just legislation, or a promise to stop the abusive practices. The abused had to collect damages. That never happened. MLK, speaking about civil rights laws as a paltry substitute for reparations: “I think our biggest problem here is that we got our gains over the last 12 years at bargain rates, so to speak. It didn’t cost the nation anything. In fact, it helped the economic side of the nation to integrate the lunch counters and public accommodations. It didn’t cost the nation anything to get the right to vote established. And, now, we are confronting issues, that cannot be solved without costing the nation billions of dollars. Now, I think this is where we’re getting our greatest resistance. They may put it on many other things. But we can’t get rid of slums and poverty without it costing the nation something.” Of course, the NBC reporter cut off the interview at that point. And there was never a formal, meaningful Truth and Reconciliation Commission process, as done in South Africa under the leadership of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Too many Americans have wanted to believe the piddly civil rights laws were more than enough to make up for all of the slavery and genocide and barbarity. So, they did. And, so, they continue to do so, including with textbooks, which lie by omission, and instructors, who refuse to teach the people’s history of the United States, who insist on teaching the false narratives of the status quo. The true history of our nation is important to recognize. If not, we’ll continue to see the critical mass of childish temper tantrums of the don’t-be-woke-crowd, who reject critical race theory because they reject critical thinking when it comes to teaching the true history of our nation, and exposing the true barbaric character of the American status quo. The goal of the oppressed isn’t to hate white people. The goal is to expose the oppressor, who tricks us all into prioritizing capital over labor, by dividing and conquering our minds, by hook or by crook. But, as Fred Hampton recognized, like Malcolm X and MLK, who had developed their class consciousness, and the revolutionaries, who came before: “We don’t hate white people. We hate the OPPRESSOR, whether he be white, black, brown, or yellow.” “So, let us stop talkin’ falsely now / The hour is gettin’ late, hey!” Reckoning is long over due. Peace be unto you.

- “Everything Is a Rich Man’s Trick” by Hidden Reality [via YouTube], 25 JAN 2021. [3hrs 27min 55sec] | NOTES: [L12] About 6.5 minutes into the documentary film, the narrator performs a sly conceptual sleight of hand by saying that ‘the newspapers started referring to these “Illuminati bankers” as robber barons. The term robber barons makes sense because it’s a simple descriptor, not a proper noun (i.e., a name, spelled with a capitalized initial letter). But “Illuminati” is introduced into the narration without any substantiation. The narrator assumes the viewer already has evidence of the existence of a specific group of people called “the Illuminati”, or the narrator assumes viewers will accept the name and the existence of such a group, which calls itself that name, uncritically. That’s problematic because the narrator doesn’t support that fact-claim with evidence. The other historical fact-claims are common knowledge. There is a global power elite, but again that’s a simple descriptor of a class of people, like robber barons, not a specific group. The closest we can come to defining, such a specific group, with a membership requirement, would be the members of the World Economic Forum, who meet annually in Davos, Switzerland. See Giants: The Global Power Elite by Dr. Peter Phillips; and Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World by Peter S. Goodman. The term global power elite makes sense to your author because it builds upon the credible work of scholars, such as C. Wright Mills (The Power Elite). But the name “Illuminati” does not make sense to your author because it appears as a made-up name. As far as your author knows, there was an Illuminati group long ago, which dissolved long ago. If there is evidence to the contrary, it would be interesting to consider. (Additional notes on this documentary film below.)

Prof. Mattias Desmet’s book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, continues to be relevant…
*The opinions expressed by the hosts, guests, journalists, authors, and other speakers in today’s sampling of news and information are not necessarily the views of Lumpenproletariat.
The free speech Pacifica Radio Network, perhaps the world’s oldest listener-sponsored, definitely the world’s first and only listener-owned radio network, includes KPFA (the first Pacifica Radio station; Berkeley, CA), WBAI (NYC), KPFK (Los Angeles), WPFW (D.C.), and KPFT (Houston), and has many other affiliate stations. The U.S. government, having undergone a corporate coup d’état in slow motion (if not a military coup on 22 NOV 1963), and being inimical to the Bill of Rights, is opposed to free speech radio. After the 1999 KPFA Lockouts, listeners won democratic governance of the Pacifica Radio Network. Unfortunately, since then, a liberal (i.e., pro-capitalist or non-anti-capitalist) faction, including KPFA news bosses (Aileen Alfandary, Mark Mericle, et al.), have colluded to undermine democratic governance and to NPR-ize Pacifica Radio. Free speech Pacifica Radio is your radio network, built to broadcast news and information, which the establishment tries to distort or hide from you. We cannot hope for a democratic society without an informed citizenry. Please support free speech Pacifica Radio. Become a member with full voting rights for as little as $25 per year. Then, hold your Pacifica Radio stations accountable and keep Pacifica Radio true to the Pacifica Mission Statement. Then, help expand free speech radio and digital media. Most media/press is state-corporate propaganda. The airwaves belong to the people. Don’t let Democrat partisans colonize free speech radio. Don’t let Democrat partisans keep the working-class imaginary confined within the false left-right paradigm, within the false opposition party that is the Democrat Party, within the corporate two-party dictatorship. The working-class needs institutional power to build political power, not just cultural awareness or cultural celebration, not just “identity politics”, which are mostly cultural, not political, concerns. Political education is as necessary for working-class liberation, as it is central to the Pacifica Mission Statement. Unfortunately, the Democrat Party, the two-party system, the establishment is dumbing down America. And this process of depoliticization and demobilization is being advanced within Pacifica Radio by certain people, apparently connected to the Democrat Party and/or the U.S. government. Please support free speech Pacifica Radio; then, hold it accountable to its Mission Statement. Oust the sophists. Lift up the truth-seekers. This daily column is dedicated to the Pacifica Mission Statement, dedicated to exposing sophistry and deception, dedicated to the liberation of the working-class through communication, dia logos, encouraging mindful action within and between wisdom-cultivating communities. As Einstein suggested, like Socrates before him, the important thing is to not stop questioning.

CONS: Revolutionaries in search of honest radio will likely be disappointed by each btoadcast. As liberals discussing covert actions or deep politics, the discussions are usually confined to the safely-removed past. The disappointing liberal tendency is to avoid covert action and deep politics in the present day, with regard to current events.

COMMENTS: This program, Leid Stories, is dedicated to free speech, but free speech with common sense, courtesy, and focus. Listeners are invited to call in to speak freely about a particular question posed by the host, Utrice Leid. Unlike other call-in shows, like Thom Hartmann, Kris Welch, Mitch Jeserich, and many others on free speech Pacifica Radio, callers aren’t screened or filtered, dissonant voices aren’t cut short, or otherwise handled to control the narrative. Instead, the host, Utrice Leid, helps callers make their point, as long as it’s a cogent argument. Utrice Leid encourages critical thinking. On Fridays, the discussion theme is “Free Your Mind Fridays”, where listeners are invited to call in to articulate an opinion on any topic they wish. KPFA listeners deserve a radio host, like Utrice Leid, during weekdays, instead of Democrat Party apologist hosts, such as Kris Welch, who perpetuate phony establishment narratives, and stifle call-ins. | Leid Stories is one of the most honest, hard-hitting, yet compassionate, programs on the free speech Progressive Radio Network, or anywhere for that matter.

COMMENTS: Dr. Peter Breggin’s book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey (30 SEP 2021) was cited by Dr. Peter McCullough in his Joe Rogan interview as the best book on the politics behind COVID-19, when asked. Your author agrees Dr. Breggin’s book is one of the top two most important books on COVID-19, next to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s books, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy (16 NOV 2021) and The Wuhan Cover-Up: How US Health Officials Conspired with the Chinese Military to Hide the Origins of COVID-19 (23 MAY 2023; e-book out earlier). | Your author disagrees with Dr. Breggin’s conflating of communism with authoritarianism as well as his misplaced faith in former US President Donald Trump. The lack of understanding of the fundamental contradictions of capitalism misleads many well-meaning people, such as Dr. Breggin. But Dr. Breggin is correct about COVID-19 (infections and injections) and the fact that the cytotoxic spike protein (invented by Ralph Baric) and the mRNA (which forces human cells to produce the spike protein) is most likely a biological weapon, as we learn that the Department of Defense is at the top of this agenda. Both the infections and the injections are a product of the US military. | Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, on COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey: “No other book so comprehensively covers the details of COVID-19 criminal conduct as well as its origins in a network of global predators seeking wealth and power at the expense of human freedom and prosperity, under cover of false public health policies.””
13:00 PST, KPFA [Berkeley, CA] > East Bay Yesterday with Liam O’Donohue(sp?)
NOTES: [notes pending; scribe hasn’t listened yet]
COMMENTS: East Bay Yesterday is usually a disappointing program for leftists, as it functions as a synthetic left shill for the establishment by perpetuating the false left-right paradigm whereby the Republican Party and the ‘far-right’ are usually framed as the bogeymen, of which listeners must be wary. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party is usually let off the hook, usually not critiqued as sharply as the Republican Party. And that is the case, if the program delves into politics. This program can be filed under ‘CULTURAL’, as it steers clear of politics, not to mention deep politics, and, as its name suggests, steers clear of current events. | Like Letters and Politics with Mitch Jeserich, East Bay Yesterday functions as a form of distraction away from current events, current social ills, and what the working class can do about them. Instead of dealing with material conditions and connecting the past to current-day power structures, which must be resisted, East Bay Yesterday focuses on fuzzy feelings and nostalgia, with Pollyannaish narration, which seeks to pander to liberals (i.e., pro-capitalists and non-anti-capitalists) and left-leaning listeners with loads of identity politics. From listening to fund drive banter and program content, the host, Liam O-Donohue(sp?) is apparently a minion of the liberal faction colonizing KPFA, led by Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Kris Welch, Aileen Alfandary, and Mark Mericle, et al. So, if you’re in the mood for some depoliticizing, immobilizing liberal entertainment, East Bay Yesterday might entertain you. If you want hard-hitting, provocative, compelling critical analysis and truth-seeking, you will likely be disappointed by East Bay Yesterday.

18:00 PST, KPFA [Berkeley, CA] > The Pacifica Evening News, Weekdays
NOTES: [notes pending; scribe hasn’t listened yet]
COMMENTS: Usually, honest on basic social justice issues, but KPFA newscast bosses tend to gaslight listeners on COVID-19 (never mention VAERS data, VAERS deaths, assaults on informed consent, assaults on parental consent, no mention of litigation in India against the World Health Organization, etc.) and also gaslight listeners regarding establishment Democrat Party politics (i.e., usually engaging in Democrat Party apologia and perception management to keep people within the Democrat Party imaginary and away from the third-party politics imaginary, in the sociology sense of the term, ‘imaginary’). I.e., in other words, ‘it’s all good, just don’t question 9/11, COVID-19, nor establishment electoral politics.’ Having said all that, this is still a better nightly newscast than most. I’m hard-pressed to think of a better one, especially since the demise of Free Speech Radio News (FSRN), particularly regarding local news coverage. But that doesn’t excuse the KPFA news bosses’ intellectual dishonesty, lying by omission, and other deficiencies of journalistic integrity. WION is pretty good on global news; but there, too, one can detect the liberal bias, which Dr. Noam Chomsky has warned about since at least the 1990s.

“Everything Is a Rich Man’s Trick” by Hidden Reality [via YouTube], 25 JAN 2021. [3hrs 27min 55sec]
NOTES: [L30] About 6.5 minutes into the documentary film, the narrator performs a sly conceptual sleight of hand by saying that ‘the newspapers started referring to these “Illuminati bankers” as robber barons. The term robber barons makes sense because it’s a simple descriptor, not a proper noun (i.e., a name, spelled with a capitalized initial letter). But “Illuminati” is introduced into the narration without any substantiation. The narrator assumes the viewer already has evidence of the existence of a specific group of people called “the Illuminati”, or the narrator assumes viewers will accept the name and the existence of such a group, which calls itself that name, uncritically. That’s problematic because the narrator doesn’t support that fact-claim with evidence. The other historical fact-claims are common knowledge. There is a global power elite, but again that’s a simple descriptor of a class of people, like robber barons, not a specific group. The closest we can come to defining, such a specific group, with a membership requirement, would be the members of the World Economic Forum, who meet annually in Davos, Switzerland. See Giants: The Global Power Elite by Dr. Peter Phillips; and Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World by Peter S. Goodman. The term global power elite makes sense to your author because it builds upon the credible work of scholars, such as C. Wright Mills (The Power Elite). But the name “Illuminati” does not make sense to your because it appears as a made-up name. As far as your author knows, there was an Illuminati group long ago, which dissolved long ago. If there is evidence to the contrary, it would be interesting to consider. Other than the unfortunate use of the name “Illuminati” to refer to the global power elite, the rest of the historical information makes sense, at least 15 minutes in. | After about c. 15min 00sec, the narrator asserts the global power elite groomed and funded Adolf Hitler’s rise to power to create out of the German state a “bulwark” against Bolshevism to prevent their respective working-class populations from being inspired by class consciousness, to prevent their own working-class population from becoming organized enough to defend their working-class interests against class warfare from above. That’s an interesting assertion. Your author would like to see the source citations and evidence for that assertion. The narrator also describes 20th century sectet societies, but still doesn’t substantiate his usage of the name “Illuminati”. Notably, historian Webster Tarpley makes compelling arguments for the occultism of 20th century secret societies. Also, JFK spoke out publicly against secrecy in government and secret societies. We know some have existed. But none of the 20th century secret societies, which your author knows of, nor which the narrator actually cites, are called “Illuminati.” Also, the rise of Hitler seems oversimplified by the narrator.
COMMENTS: Thanks to your author’s homie, C. C., for sharing this documentary film. Your author always appreciates a truth-seeking documentary film, despite the unfortunate use of the word “Illuminati” to refer to the global power elite.
“Wake Up Everybody” by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes (1975)
[ 1 ] Truth be told, as corrupt as DN! has become, it’s better than nothing. I still listen to DN!, but when I do so I know they’re lying to me half the time, like Lewis Lapham said about reading The New York Times. The problem with liberals (i.e., pro-capitalists or non-anti-capitalists) at Pacifica Radio is that they believe everything they read in the NYT. Or they want to believe. And, you know they do, because they quote it uncritically, amplify establishment narratives on the air. Most Pacifica Radio liberals interview their pundits, along with others from equally deceptive state rags, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. But all we, listeners, get are softball questions and shallow politics. The job of the journalist is to challenge the power structures and institutions of society. Instead of finding the sound experts, who make sense, Pacifica Radio’s liberal pundits confuse us, listeners, with conflicting conclusions, that don’t conclude. One day, Mitch Jeserich seems to understand how the monetary system works, when he’s on air with Prof. Richard Wolff. Later, when Mr. Jeserich is on air with a non-economist from The Wall Street Journal, we’re backsliding, speaking as if we’re still on a gold standard, or if money is a finite resource, which the U.S. must borrow from other nations. It’s bizarre. From Letters and Politics to UpFront to Democracy Now!, there appears to be a willful ignorance, a determination to forget all past lessons, to force KPFA and Pacifica Radio listeners, who are seeking truth and socioeconomic justice and legal justice and political justice toward the goal of peace on Earth, to perpetually reinvent the wheel, to perpetually have to re-establish basic truths, such as the fundamental contradictions of capitalism, such as the fact that capitalism and democracy are incompatible. The goal of liberals is to stifle all ideas, information, and perspectives of everyone to the left of them, which is to say to stifle anti-capitalist tactics and strategies for a non-capitalist economy, or an economy without corporations, which are not democratically operated by the workers. | Instead of finding the sound experts, who make sense, Pacifica Radio’s liberal pundits confuse us with conflicting conclusions from day to day, even hour to hour. There is no cohesion, no collaboration. One hour, Dr. Gary Null airs respected world-class doctors dissenting before Congress on the state-corporate COVID-19 policies. And the next hour, Leonard Lopate will gaslight everyone by uncritically repeating and amplifying the state-corporate COVID-19 policies and narratives, as if there is nothing wrong. | Why is it that Mr. Lopate, Mr. Jeserich, Mr. Edwards-Tiekert, et al are allowed to gaslight everyone, to distort reality, for example, to operate under the false presupposition that the PCR test is a valid diagnostic test, when its inventor Dr. Kary Mullis said it is not, when the PCR test was never intended to be a diagnostic test, and when the PCR test is used as a diagnostic test, results are prone to error. This error rate increases as the magnification cycle threshold is increased. None of this is explained to the listeners, who are kept in the dark by the establishment narrative-pushers. For some reason, establishment ideologues have taken power of editorial news boss positions, which seems to force other, more honest, Pacifica Radio broadcasters to bite their tongue about the COVID-19 issue. It’s a pity. (A few notable exceptions, Pacifica Radio programs, which dare to be honest about COVID-19, are The Gary Null Show (WBAI), Mindfield (WBAI), Covid, Race & Democracy (WPFW, WBAI).)
[ 2 ] Jeez, this show’s still going? They ain’t even got David Gans no more. He’s a made man in KPFA terms, a loyal partisan. I remember Mr. Gans writing partisan propaganda in favor of the reformist Democrat faction at KPFA, with money, and their patronage system, against all grassroots people trying to participate on the free speech airwaves. But when other shows, which serve black and brown people or working class people, low income people, not just boozhie liberals, they get cut quick, even banned, like JR Valrey, on bogus charges. Pa’ que veas, lo que de ‘veras les importa. Ellos nunca van a quitar este programa. Ellos pueden poner esto en un canal en la pagina de internet. Alli pueden poner cien canales de musica, si quieren. Prefieren que los escuchadores se la pásen todos atarantados, que bien informados. Si tuviéran buenos programas, no fuera tan gacho. Pero despues de desperdiciar todo el dia, luego salen con esta madre. No mámes. …
