Norms busted, rules ignored, and convoluted laws reverse-engineered to get away with murder – literally. We have the power to stop the madness. www.charlesbursell.com

From desecrating the People's House, to obscenely naked murders at sea, to vulgar rants and literal sh*t-posting, the Miller/Vought Regime is governing by sheer gall. We have to meet them with defiance and truth. www.charlesbursell.com

Our Grandparents risked their lives to fight the Fascists. Are you willing to cancel your Amazon subscription? We have to hit the oligarchs (and the Dems) where it hurts. www.charlesbursell.com

A dangerous new archetype is on the rise. Smug, confident, rule-breaking amateurs are taking over media and politics. They are decidedly far-right, disguised as centrist, and the chief facilitator of American Fascism. www.charlesbursell.com

High Court to rig the polls for permanent Regime majority, 11,000 Palestinian hostages left to rot, US troops obey illegal orders, the GOP Nazi Youth, Dems assist on healthcare gouging and denial of basic human rights. www.charlesbursell.com

Give back Turtle Island, the peace won't hold (I hope I'm wrong), Nobel nonsense, and apparently you and I are terrorists! Who knew? www.charlesbursell.com

Repugs eighty-six the government, Epstein shutters the House, and Bondi breaks the Senate. Also: Violence and extortion by the Miller/Vought Regime, and you-know-who is nothing but a big orange meat puppet. www.charlesbursell.com

Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are co-dictators, a primer on Informational Autocracy, and the two essential keys to victory (1) keep truth alive and (2) build a populist alliance. www.charlesbursell.com

Losing dear ones, deep ecology, a bogus “peace deal,” madness at Quantico, and more of the 45 acts of non-compliance for ordinary people. www.charlesbursell.com

The lies around government shutdown, online shooters, Antifa, and immigrants. Also: cleanup on aisle Jimmy, the Comey debacle, and 45 ways to resist. www.charlesbursell.com

The dehumanization of smart phones, the depravity of true crime, the flaws of the adversarial system, the convolution of law, the resources of justice, and the brilliance of random citizens. www.charlesbursell.com

Jimmy's back, but the attack on free speech continues. Dangerous and moronic displays on Autism and at the U.N. Kirk's Nuremberg rally, the looming shutdown, and Kamala Harris needs to shut all the way up. www.charlesbursell.com

All they understand is money. It is their life's blood. They use it as a tool to suppress us. And therein lies our power to defeat the regime. www.charlesbursell.com

We can choose which direction to go forward, but there's no going back. www.charlesbursell.com

Old people and the media faceplant on their coverage of the so-called “dark web” aspect of the Kirk shooting, this program included. www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime is cynically manipulating the political right-on-right murder of charlatan Charlie Kirk in order to suppress speech, demonize enemies, and justify their fascist paramilitary buildup. Fight the outrageous lies by speaking truth now, loudly, before it's too late. www.charlesbursell.com

Global criminals Putin, Bibi, and The Orange Menace – with an assist from Congress and The Supremes – are out of control, and coming for you. What to do. Also: when is somebody gonna make the movie? www.charlesbursell.com

A quick drop with my thoughts on the shooting of Charlie Kirk. www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime is attempting a Putin/Orban-style rig for America's next election. Duterte-style extrajudicial killings are now in their playbook. This is who we are now. www.charlesbursell.com

Blue state governors and AGs strategize to wrest back power and ultimately defeat the Regime. Epstein survivors take the lead in their fight for justice. www.charlesbursell.com

We conclude our best-of summer series with excerpts from May 8th (ep.528). In the arms race between private profit and government regulations there is no winner, especially with AI, the climate crisis, and global fascism at our throats. www.charlesbursell.com

A repost of our Labor Day episode that originally aired on 9/2/21. When the dignity of work is forever decoupled from the exploitation of “jobs,” then we'll have a Labor Day to truly celebrate. www.charlesbursell.com

An encore presentation of our 50th episode, featuring non-sequitur sound, absurd stories, and silly songs. Your challenge: make it make sense. www.charlesbursell.com

Tough talk is fine, but it ain't enough. And it's too late to “have a conversation.” We need a nuts and bolts revolution. The summer best-of series continues with clips from April 24, 28, and May 1, (episodes 524, 525, 526). www.charlesbursell.com

Early warnings went unheeded and now a de facto Insurrection Act in DC and threatened in other cities. Every American has the moral duty to declare themselves pro-democracy dissidents and to actively resist, even sabotage, the Regime. How-to clips from 4/14/25 (ep.521) and 4/17/25 (ep.522). www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime has already shown its willingness to crash the economy and to employ violence against protesters. The resistance will need a strong foundation of Mutual Aid. This encore of Charles Bursell Presents from 4/13/25 (ep.97) provides a primer. www.charlesbursell.com

Resistance to the Regime so far shows a deficient sense of urgency and a startling lack of imagination as to how far the fascists will go. The Log continues our review with clips from 4/7/25 (ep.519) and 4/10/25 (ep.520). www.charlesbursell.com

All of the early stories were warnings of the worst to come. They weren't taken seriously enough. Our best-of episodes from the first six months of the regime continue with clips from 3/31/25 (ep.517) and 4/3/25 (ep.518). www.charlesbursell.com

People still ask me what we can do to resist. The list of actions to choose from is long. Nobody can do it all. The main thing is to do SOMETHING rather than NOTHING. We continue our review of the first six months of the regime with clips from 3/27/25 (ep.516). www.charlesbursell.com

The Adventures of The Centrist, Cody's Lesson, Shut It Down, And Now It's Time For The News #1. www.charlesbursell.com

We continue our summer review of the first six months of the regime and resistance. Early warnings of fascist extremism have been confirmed and, in fact, exceeded. The time to resist is right now. This episode features clips from 3/20/25 (ep.514) and 3/24/25 (ep.515).

In this review we find some first shots across the bow. Did we lack the imagination to take them as warnings as to just how far they were willing to go? Are we still too complacent? We continue our best-of segments from the first six months of the regime and our resistance with clips from 3/13/25 (ep.512) and 3/17/25 (ep.513). www.charlesbursell.com

Big Tech has been digitally surveilling us and collecting our personal data for years. Now supercharged by AI they have thrown in with the American Fascists to infiltrate the government, including the military. The good news is the Tech Bros are not really that smart. www.charlesbursell.com

The Bezos wedding is peak 21st Century Gilded Age, SCOTUS hands over the keys to the kingdom, and the Very Bad Bill enables the king, unless we can stop it. Call Congress now: 202-224-3121 www.charlesbursell.com

Chucky Bucky and Uncle Chuck watch Jeopardy! together. A listener calls in to complain. www.charlesbursell.com

The madness of the Iran nuclear dustup brings into harsh focus the need for a worldwide people-to-people democracy movement that shuns so-called ‘leaders' and reduces the power of profit and borders, eventually abolishing them altogether. www.charlesbursell.com

Netanyahu operates The Orange Menace to conduct his criminal war, while Congressional Repugs' make him King in order to pass the wildly unpopular agenda they've been trying to slip past voters since they were little Birchers. www.charlesbursell.com

Hey Democrats, do your job or get out of the way for those who will. Also, nobody except numbskull neocons favor Netanyahu's illegal war, and political violence is not only immoral, it's downright stupid. www.charlesbursell.com

The week was particularly violent, both in the real world and in the cosplaying Chickenhawk In Chief's fascist reality TV show. Still dangerous, the Regime is backpedaling while the resistance ascends. www.charlesbursell.com

Show Notes: The Resistance has room to grow. Don't ask, demand. American Fascists are miles ahead of their Twentieth Century counterparts. The press fails to cover Hegseth and covers for him. The Regime's ideological purity test includes a pro-Capitalist pledge. Turn off the video, audio is superior. Harvard's free online classes. How to unplug the Tech-Bro Monarchs forever: abolish money.

Some needed context in the cold and lawless attack on immigrants: The Regime bolsters its cruel authoritarian project, who the police swore to serve and protect, for-profit media lies, the discipline of nonviolence, the difference between protest rallies and direct action, and corporate Dems usurp the resistance. www.charlesbursell.com
