Bank Bailouts & The Agenda to Centralize Power
The Recovering Liberal
When I saw this story, my very first thought was, “Here we go…this is part of the agenda to further consolidate and centralize banking and financial power…and again, the powerful will line their pockets on the backs of ordinary people.” What the government elite have made clear in this series of bailouts is: While they want to kill jobs to stifle inflation, they don’t want kill THESE banking and tech jobs. Their goal is the working class and small businesses. Not their rich friends in banking and tech. The federal government is blatantly creating incentive for people to take their...

The Hamilton 68 Fraud
The Recovering Liberal
This was a fun episode to record, mostly because it’s hard to take too seriously that scams like this are so deeply embedded in our media and the public perceptions which follow. I mean, when you learn about stuff like this, it’s just such a transparently sloppy attempt to control the information we see and believe. Yet, here we are. Having to understand exactly how the media spoon-feeds us fraudulent information to manipulate our thinking. If you’re in the media and you can’t or won’t debate a group of people’s points on their merit? No problem! Thankfully, you have scams like...

Does the FDA work for the public, or for industry?
The Recovering Liberal
I can’t answer definitively whether the FDA ultimately operates in the public’s best interest or not. I can only determine for myself the extent to which I trust the products marketed by the industries they are supposed to be regulating. I CAN, however, shed some light on historical context, the drug & medical device industries’ track records, and the ways which the interests of the FDA, government, and industry have become entangled (to say the least). In this episode, I explore those subjects through the lens of the medical device industry and a few case studies. I also wrap it up...

U.S. Government Pressures Big Tech to Censor Speech
The Recovering Liberal
We are officially living in an upside-down world in which our own government and intelligence communities spread disinformation abroad and, through major tech platforms, target speech (by ordinary Americans and experts alike) which contradicts what they deem to be the preferred narrative. Around all the most important topics to us all - war, democracy & elections, corruption, COVID - they work behind the scenes to throttle any legitimate debate. Here I cover my thoughts and takeaways from the latest 3 drops of the Twitter Files, which include: Part 8: How Twitter Quietly...

FBI Involvement in Big Tech Censorship
The Recovering Liberal
For many people, the Twitter Files story gets dismissed with a roll of the eyes before they can even begin to grapple with the question of the implications of - for instance - the FBIs direct involvement in the censorship of Americans' speech on social media platforms. I'd like to examine a few questions to consider to help people determine whether they should care about this at all, whether they can take it seriously, and what level of government and corporate censorship (if any) they are okay with. I examine this through the lens of the latest Twitter Files drop - as published by independent...

Children denied organ transplants over COVID-19 vax status
The Recovering Liberal
It sounds like a dystopian, 'this can't be real' kind of story, but it's unfortunately not the only time this has happened. Children are being denied life-saving organ transplants at major transplant centers over their COVID-19 vaccination status. It appears, for all the scoffing many people did at the concern over what the CDC's addition of the COVID-19 vaccine to the child immunization schedule would mean, that it really does matter. At least when it comes to which kids now are allowed to get organ transplants. This episode also dives into the AAP and a new op-ed entitled "The Hijacking of...

The Illusion of Choice
The Recovering Liberal
One look at the title of this episode, and you might be tempted to write me off as just another weirdo conspiracy theorist. I'm admittedly a bit of a weirdo, but the truth is that AT THE VERY LEAST: 1) Mainstream media is a coordinated, often-scripted-in-unison, narrative from the centralized "big 6" of media 2) Big tech censorship was just exposed in Matt Taibbi's reporting yesterday of "The Twitter Files" as being, at best, a haphazard partisan machine to serve as an arm of the Democratic party (in this case) At this point, based on the raw facts of media centralization and now-transparent...

The Dangers and Harms of the Censorship Industry
The Recovering Liberal
This is the original article I cover here: The claim that the censorship industry is funded by big tech, the West’s security state, and politically-active billionairres like George Sorros is no "conspiracy theory" -- it's just fact. This newly minted, self-proclaimed "disinformation" expertise, claims to have the right to decide what is true and what is false. The purpose? To not only justify censorship, but to make it morally necessary as they simultaneously work to sieze upon every crisis as an opportunity to further galvanize their ideologically-aligned base. This country has...

CDC Adds COVID Vaccine to the Childhood Immunization Schedule
The Recovering Liberal
Why did the CDC just add the COVID vaccine to the childhood immunization schedule, when we know at this point: Young children are at a risk level that is statistically indistinguishable from zero There is no proven benefit of the vaccine limiting transmission (aka no benefit to the greater community, as required for vaccines to be recommended for children) Phizer and Moderna failed their all-cause mortality end points, accord to their own data (excess deaths in vaccine group compared to non-vaccine group, specifically cardiac events) So if there is no benefit to this low-risk group,...

What's causing Sudden Adult Death Syndrome?
The Recovering Liberal
So many young and otherwise healthy “working age” people have been dying since 2021 that we had to invent a new name for it - Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). When you take a more comprehensive picture by looking at multiple buckets of data - Group Life losses, Disability, and Health Insurance data - it’s not a great portrayal for Phizer’s and Moderna’s cash cow of the pandemic. When you further overlay more studies being done around the world on sudden unexplained deaths, FOIA document revelations and anecdote after anecdote, it’s really difficult to look objectively at...
info_outlineWords are hard, apparently. The white house is doing everything in its power to avoid adopting the "r" word, and record-low July unemployment numbers are being propped up as PROOF that we are not, in fact, in a recession. Biden has gone so far as to say that "more people are working than at any point in American history." Yikes. That one isn't true, but this episode focuses on understanding employment numbers, as well as the bigger picture of economic indicators.
What do YOU think? Is our economy doing okay from your perspective? How is your community doing and feeling? What do you think about how profitable this economic period has been for major corporations? Is it encouraging that maybe they'll be the heroes and buffer us through to an economic boom, or are you concerned that corporations are capitalizing on high inflation and putting us in an artificial jobs bubble that might pop soon?
