The Left is Dead

Jim speaks with Dr. Wilmer Leon on how Emmanuel Macron appointed Michel Barnier as France's prime minister after securing Marine Le Pen's agreement. He also reports on the mass protests erupting in France after Macron picked Barnier as Prime Minister and an interview with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who says, "pithy sayings are not part of my approach to politics."

Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup) returns to discuss her visit to our hometown following Nick Fuentes and his AFPAC tour's stop in Detroit (the A stands for Asshole or something). How are the groypers integrating into TPUSA and the GOP, and why are they letting these no-good Mediterranean bums lead it? Amanda explains why the far right doesn't even really fucking care (and somehow even apparently encourages) Spaniards to be white now in the face of the Demoncrats' alleged Satanic multiculturalism as well as a host of other topics. Despite that, most of the conversation revolves around our experiences together outside America's Buttfest (or whatever the TPUSA Detroit conference was called this summer as well as the future potential of several stripes of the freak-right going forward Enjoy.

In this episode Jim speaks with labor historian Harvey Schwartz, author of Labor under Siege: Big Bob McEllrath and the ILWU's Fight for Organized Labor in an Anti-Union Era. Labor Under Siege is is an oral history prepared with Ronald Magden that chronicles how a mature American workers' organization, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), survived serious challenges in recent decades from employers, government agencies, and even other unions. It won an Independent Publisher Book Awards (aka IPPY) gold medal, a Nautilus Book Awards silver prize, a National Indie Excellence Awards winner designation, and was an Independent Publishers of New England Book Awards finalist. A prior volume, Building the Golden Gate Bridge: A Workers' Oral History (University of Washington Press), was a Nautilus Book Awards silver winner in 2016. It recounts how ironworkers and other construction craftspeople overcame dangerous job conditions and the hardships of the Great Depression to build one of America's most iconic bridges. In this interview Jim and Harvey discuss the post-Harry Bridges era of the ILWU, their victories in the anti-union neoliberal era and what lessons the new wave of labor organizers can learn from the historically radical union.

Congratulations! If you're reading this, it means you're still listening after my extended break due to a car accident> What better way to come back than releasing the forgotten Napoleon episode. If there was one movie made for this show, it was Joker Phoenix's take on L'empereur in 2023's Napoleon, a piece of weird incel propaganda by Ridley Scott after he waws clearly driven insane by the success of 2022's Top Gun: Maverick. I'll be back with more when Scott releases his promised director's cut later this year.

James Carey, Activist, Analyst, and Podcast Host of The Left is Dead spoke to Backstory host Rachel Blevins about the US allowing Israel to strike southern Gaza, Israel targeting more hospitals in Gaza, and Biden seemingly being afraid to criticize Israel. James talked about the bombing campaign by Israel and how the American people will normalize the deaths that continue to occur in Gaza, at the hands of Israel.

We watched another movie and boy do they just keep getting worse! This time the documentary film in question is the latest Dinesh D/Souza joint attacking the creeping police state in America. From Hunter Biden smoking crack and a bunch of hogs pretending they didn't cheer the Patriot Act when it passed to Dinesh again proving he is still the real victim of the police state for his girlfriend's husband acting as his straw donor this movie has it all! So buckle in and try to keep up with some of the lamest 'whistleblowers' we've seen since the Project Veritas musical and please keep in mind that you cannot sue the creators of this film or this podcast for any whiplash that could occur due to the constant rapid subject changes.

The Backstory host Rachel Blevins speaks host of The Left is Dead, James Carey about the Israeli threats to invade Gaza, Joe Biden's image around the war, and the Western behavior towards civilian casualties. James details the Western country's position on civilian casualties in Gaza and why the Israeli military has been allowed to do what they wants in Gaza.

Well folks, my PC died and I might've misplaced a flash drive with this audio in my garage somehow but this one is worth the wait. This time Nathan and I dive back into one of our favorite topics: Mormons. On top of the LDS angle, we have it all: giants, bad translations of the bible, and yeah, we got Nephilim folks. So for all of your sake, we got the one guy we knew could help us better understand all this, Dr. Dan McClellan. Dan received a Ph.D. in theology and religion from the University of Exeter and now is one of our favorite scholars. Honestly, he has a long list of credentials but some standouts are his career with the Church of Latter Day Saints working to better understand the original Greek and Hebrew scripture, author of YHWH's Divine Images, one-half of the Data Over Dogma Podcast, and frankly, makes good content. You can follow Dan at @Maklelan on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Or you can just check linktr.ee/maklelan

In this episode we speak with retired professor of history Robert Cherny and discuss his book Harry Bridges: Labor Radical, Labor Legend. Dr. Cherny's book covers the life and times of Harry Bridges from a new perspective while still keeping the history of the ILWU and its rank and file in perspective. In this conversation we touch on everything from Bridges' early life to his later years and as much as we could fit in between. You can find Dr. Cherny's book here: https://rb.gy/cqk8e

In this episode, Nathan and Jim speak with Robbie Martin of Media Roots Radio to talk about the biggest Tuesday theatrical release since they started releasing movies on Fridays: Sound of Freedom. Nathan and Jim will be back with more thoughts on this dog shit movie but in the meantime, we wanted to talk to Robbie about the anti-normie press junkets, the strange melding of the dead-eyed Mormons and Sedevancist Catholics, how Mel Gibson is involved with the movie despite the fact that he's not, and a host of other things that pissed us off about Operation Underground Railroad last time we talked about them. You can find more from Robbie at mediaroots.org and patreon.com/mediarootsradio or wherever you listen to podcasts. You can find Robbie doing more of the Lord's work on Twitter @FluorescentGrey

Guy Morris is a retired Fortune 100 software engineer, songwriter for Disney Records, Coast Guard captain, adventurer, polymath, and self-published author of thrillers Swarm (2020), The Curse of Cortés (2021), and The Last Ark (2022), novels that deal with complex societal crises including AI, cybersecurity, Deep State shenanigans, military technologies run-amok, ecological destruction, and geopolitical conflicts involving archaeology and religion, all via the lens of the Book of Revelation or Mayan prophecy.

The sort-of return of Old Time Religion is here and let me apologize up front for the some moments in the audio where you can hear me moving things around, I forgot to record separate audio tracks. With that out of the way, for this episode Nathan and I spoke with medium, spiritualist, and practitioner of witchcraft, Jessica Karels about her spirituality and mysticism. In that framework, we hit on everything from tarot readings to the incorporation of new-age spirituality being coopted by this fine nation's latest breed of far-right lunatics. You can learn more about Jessica at her website themysticgeek.com

Returning guest Aidan Mattis of The Lore Lodge and The Weird Bible Podcast joins Nathan and Jim to go further into his political beliefs barely touched on in the last three hour interview. So...we decided to do another one. The initial premise was to have a conservative define socialism for us. Naturally, this means the conversation ran off and touched on everything from trans beer, gay books, eating the bugs, Soros, and some classic Christian sectarianism. Plus a bonus derailment on the question we all ask ourselves: Who has the correct paperwork and DNA to get Palestine? We still love Aidan's work though and you should check him out. You can find everything at https://aidanmattis.carrd.co/

Jim joins Garland Nixon and Dr. Wilmer Leon to discuss the the Turkish elections now heading to a runoff at the end of this month. Then they move on to news of the Israeli occupation. Spoiler, Erdogan probably has this one in the bag. Also, it may surprise you to find out that the only thing predictable about Israel is that they'll always surprise you with how shitty they are.

Jim and Nathan talk with Alex Fink, founder of the public benefit corporation Other Web, which provides “a walled-garden of pristine information where all junk has been filtered out, and users have complete control over what appears in their feeds and in what order.” We discuss the incentives producing clickbait and misinfo, journalism, deterioration of search engines and social media via ads, sponsored results, and “junk news”, how Fink developed his platform, the proposal to nationalize Google or other sites, government regulation of speech, AI, and the automation of labor. https://otherweb.com/ You can hear more from Alex here: AI Startup uses EQUITY CROWDFUNDING to Create a Junk-Free Internet - Otherweb (Alex Fink) - https://bit.ly/3MoMUtk Otherweb Cuts Junk from Your News Diet - https://bit.ly/43brff3

Old episode I kind of lost the audio, but only for a little while. Either way enjoy a discussion Jim & Nathan had in the recent past with Dale Hutchison, fellow content creator, poster, and host of Coffee Time Again. We just had a casual conversation to hear Dale's beliefs as an independent voter. Hopefully, this makes up for all of our years of canceling everyone and telling people to read theory. You can find more about Dale at the Coffee Time Again website - https://bit.ly/3EOvbIO Or on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3YfR2zU

In this interview with Critical Hour hosts Dr. Wilmer Leon and Garland Nixon, Jim speaks on global crises occurring throughout the American periphery. Between Russia's operations in Ukraine, Saudi obstinance, and the new alternative system rising in China, the empire seems to be left with little to do but virtue signal. What does this mean for the future? Who knows but listen to Jim guess.

In order to celebrate our relaunch this weekend, we're releasing the secret rogan episode we stole from Rogan when we sold him some fake peyote last year. Enjoy this for now, and we'll be back in the next day or so.

Jim joins Critical Hour hosts Garland Nixon and Dr. Wilmer Leon to discuss the Middle East.

Amanda Moore returns to update Jim on the DC million trucker…truck blockade….freedom convoy, whatever, who cares what it's called this time. Either way Amanda and Jim catch up on the Truck Joe Brandon crowd to see how normal they are today. Predictable spoiler: It's less normal folks.

Jim joins Critical hour hosts Dr. Wilmer Leon and Garland Nixon to discuss Afghanistan. Afghanistan is facing total collapse as starvation has engulfed the war-torn land partially due to President Biden's refusal to release their sovereign funds.

You sort ofm kind of have heard of him. You want him to fuck your wife. You know he can't be leading Nazis because he's Jeish guys! That's right it's the guy youve heard is the President of your favorite "western liberal democracy," Volodymyr Zelensky!

In this episode Jim and Nathan dive as deep as humanly possible into the real Mr. Nobody: Tim Ballard. The former DHS agent, who can often be found bragging about his pedophile training, is the founder of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR). OUR travels the global south to steal children for Tim's sel-promotional materials and now we get to know the man. Does his site come up first for the first page of results on nearly every search term? Yes. Does that make it hard to learn about him? You bet, Nathan did a good job but Jim's attention deficit and his newfound goal of stopping sickos got in the way. Is it offensive Tim named his organization after resistance to chattel slavery with members who call themselves abolitionists? You'll have to find out and judge for yourself when you hear about Tim's research conducted in his mind.

Jim speaks to Critical Hour hosts Dr. Wilmer Leon and Garland Nixon on the slightly more current state of the talks to restart the JCPOA as Europe faces a historic energy crisis. Since then Russia has made some new demands and some things have changed.

Well folks, even when I'm on time I'm late. Either way, my friend Yakob Szkiltzksy and I spoke with writer for Antiwar and co-host of Conflicts of Interest on YouTube, Kyle Anzalone. I've been rotting my brain for a year+ now so we figured we'd ask someone who pays attention to all the countries, not just the one you rubes think is going to start world war 3 once every fiscal quarter. We recorded this right before Russia announced its new military operation and shit started exploding, so sue me. Either way, follow Kyle and check out Conflicts of Interest: Twitter - @KyleAnzalone_ Conflicts of Interest - https://bit.ly/3has41w Kyle at Antiwar - https://bit.ly/3BJXMMR

Finally back with an interview so we decided to provide one almost 300% the length of our normal episodes. Joining Nathan and I for his marathon interview is white cis borderline-zoomer straight male Aidan Mattis, a pop-historian, podcast host, video creator, streamer, writer, and probably a bunch more shit I'm forgetting. Aidan makes quality history content using his education on European history from around the fall of Rome up to around a century before the alcoholic slug Martin Luther messed everything up. Obviously an interview this long covers a lot so I'll just say if you have any interest in Masonry, European history, history conspiracies, new chronology, who holds the deed to Palestine, the geography of Greek legends, why I say Hezbollah rules, and a lot more, pop some kind of downer to keep you in place for a lengthy but top tier discussion.

The worst tornado in Kentucky's history, hit the state leaving 77 dead, destroying more than a thousand homes. Climate change shows its devastating face with rare storms, winds, and tornadoes in many states of America. Biden's infrastructure bill faces challenges of scarce trained workers. Can the main culprit of climate change also pose as the leader of fighting this phenomenon? Will Americans change their lifestyles drastically and abandon consumerism to stop Earth’s annihilation? When will the US government stop its hypocritical positions, massively funding its nuclear energy sector while coercing other nations to abandon it? In this episode, we will talk about the recent tornado in the United States. What the government is doing to fix its deteriorating infrastructure in light of the passing of the infrastructure bill. Will the bill bring hope to poor communities? Who is responsible for climate change and will the US succeed in reversing these natural disasters and their devastating impacts? Other guests included activist Don DeBar and Abbas Muntaqim. Source: https://bit.ly/33c35ax

James Carey joins Dr. Wilmer Leon and Garland Nixon on Radio Sputnik's The Critical Hour to discuss Israel. In a move that some observers view as propaganda, Israeli security personnel are drilling for a potential "dirty bomb" attack ostensibly by Hezbollah. Also, Defense Minister Benny Gantz continues to ramp up hawkish rhetoric against Iran as he claims that Israel is ready to go to war with the Islamic Republic.

Nathan and Jim give their take on Socialism as a Rival of Organized Christianity, a 1904 article by the Reverend Thomas C. Hall published in The North American Review. In the piece Hall explains the similarities between organized religion and the growth of working class organization at the time and the conflict that apparently arises from the two's shared morals and goals. So why is Hall so upset there is a part of society working towards what seem like paralel goals? You'll have to listen to find out.
