The Hidden History of the Papacy and Church of Rome: Basic Truths: A 31 min. introduction to Michael Hoffman's book-length study of the capture of the papacy and Church of Rome, by Neoplatonic-Hermetic and Kabbalistic occult forces fronting the syncretic religion, "Prisca theologia."

Inspired by the commemoration, in this year MMXXIV, of Jesus' Last Supper, Crucifixion and Resurrection from the dead, I am examining, prior to the founding of the Israeli state, the last period in history, 1,889 years ago, when Jews controlled what is today Palestine. After which, in the historical chasm, the Roman empire, and then Arab, Muslim and briefly Christian forces, had control over the territory. Chapters include: The Genetic Masquerade; The Bar Kokhba War; "The One Who Accuses You is Moses."

Speaker of Parliament, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has encouraged South Africans to actively engage with this year's State Of The Nation Address proceedings. In the build up to the address by President Cyril Ramaphosa, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema said he was not expecting much from President Cyril Ramaphosa's SONA. Malema was addressing students in Pietermaritzburg ahead of the party's manifesto launch this weekend in Durban. On Thursday, the party confirmed it will challenge the Western Cape High Court's decision to suspend 6 of its members of parliament, including Malema, from participating in this year's SONA. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to a number guests ahead of the address including, Senior Economist at the Alternative Information & Development Centre, Dr. Dick Forslund and Political Analyst, Asanda Ngoasheng.

Talmid chacham Michael Hoffman, author of the textbook Judaism Discovered (1,102 pages), examines hate speech in the Talmud and derivative halachic texts and their real world consequences for Arab civilians in Lebanon and Palestine. Hoffman's empirical evidence is conveyed with compassion and charity for both Jews and gentiles. Hate speech in the Talmud is not a “canard” or an “anti-Semitic trope.” To achieve peace and justice all hate speech must be repudiated, not just certain politicized categories. To safeguard civilians in occupied Palestine and the Middle East, and for the advancement of human rights and knowledge in defiance of cancel culture, the influence and impact of Talmudic theology on the Israeli government, military and the settlers must become known and challenged by all people of good will. In studying Israeli violence, confining the analysis mainly to “settler-colonialism” seriously limits authentic understanding of the roots of the racist, ethno-supremacist forces at work.Revisionist History® is a registered trademark of Independent History and Research, Box 849, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83816.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jr., intended to target millions of German civilians for displacement and death. Here are new facts on the extent of the duo's merciless postwar blueprint.

Who stole Native American leader Geronimo's skull? Who dominated the White House for the first decade of the 21st century? What is the occult history of New Haven, Connecticut? Mark Steeves, an independent scholar who studies  secret societies affiliated with Yale University, with special emphasis on the Skull and Bones fraternity, discusses these and other recondite subjects with Michael Hoffman, who provides an introduction and an afterword.

The putrid underbelly of the pop culture capitalism that's rotting the mind and soul of America has been weaponized by an occult process of human alchemy, employing the Cryptocracy's Revelation of the Method to mock the people with evidence of the crimes that have been committed against them. Hoffman argues that this programming is the product of the science of mathematical calculation wedded to the art of Twilight Language, an infernal marriage which has created a Pharaoh's cauldron, in which psychologically degraded Americans are not only immersed, they're doing nothing practical to extricate themselves. The process is made to appear inevitable, and refusal useless. As a result of decades of the enactment of psychodramas embedded in ritual murders and assassinations, the people are stunned into a bipolar state of decomposition.

Independent scholar Michael Hoffman undertakes an excursion into outlawed history in this study of "Tyranny, Genocide, Slavery and Mind Control (Esoteric Monumentalism) in the Third World Before the Coming of the White Man.” His investigation is devoted mainly, although not exclusively, to a revisionist chronicle of the Americas before Columbus. In the corporate media and western universities the pre-Columbian era is dogmatically declared to have been a virtual paradise  — an ecological utopia where native commonwealths dwelled in peace and harmony. Grounded in deep alternative research, Hoffman offers a radical corrective to that mythos. For the Advancement of Knowledge Contra Cancel Culture 

The Alternative Information and Development Centre says less than three percent of the $8.5-Billion climate finance deal offered to South Africa comes in the form of grants. Senior economist at the Centre, Dick Forslund says the rest takes the form of concessional loans, commercial loans and investment guarantees. Forslung adds that what these secretive foreign loans will lead to great indebtedness and hardship for the country in the long run. He spoke to Sakina Kamwendo.

On Twitter on Oct. 17, investigative reporter Michael Hoffman predicted a forthcoming attack on a prominent Democrat which would be attributed to a Republican. Hoffman examines the role of media and government in exploiting the strange events at Mr. Pelosi's residence on Oct. 28, 2022.

Independent historian Michael Hoffman expounds the epistemology of the non-conforming historians known as “revisionists” — those who defy political correctness and risk the ire of cancel culture as part of their voyage of discovery. Using as his palette the monarchy of Elizabeth I, the Jesuits, quantum physics, the campaign against mammonism and capitalism, the Protestant-Catholic wars of religion, Shakespeare and Marlowe, the British Secret Service and the occult from John Dee to Pico della Mirandola, Hoffman illustrates the meaning and function of revisionist history in its indispensable service to the expansion of human knowledge.

This webinar illustrates that equity is a central issue in public health and that there is an inescapable link between poverty, the feminization of poverty and access to health care, particularly in the South African context. This webinar furthermore, seeks to build systems of solidarity among affected marginalised groups as a result of the pandemic.

James Corbett of the Corbett Report joins me to discuss a number of topics around the theme of alternative information and how to combat the propaganda, both intentional and in some cases unintentional, that is all around us. We discuss how we came to have non-mainstream worldviews, how a global conspiracy can and provably has happened, our experiences in Asia and how we can all change the world in our own way every day. After all that, we end the talk with a few minutes of talk about a band we're both rather fond of!

Dominic Brown will discuss the strategies being proposed by popular movements in the Global South to confront their debt. He will reflect on current movements and their demands from a historical perspective with a focus on South Africa – his home country. Brown will demonstrate how debt issuance in the Global South is often used to implement neoliberal and austerity policies, and discuss how this tendency can be stopped from the bottom up. Is there a perspective for collective opposition from the side of ‘Southern' countries towards the new debt crisis that is looming now that the pandemic is locking down economies? To what extent do the current campaigns build on the former ones? What lessons can be drawn from the Jubilee 2000 Debt Cancellation Campaign? How does the issue of debt connect to other issues, such as inequality and poverty? And how does debt unite different social struggles? Which theory of change underlies all these movements that fight for global justice and redistribute change? Dominic Brown is Economic Justice Programme Manager at the Alternative Information & Development Centre (AIDC). AIDC was formed in 1996 in response to the democratic transition in South Africa and the new opportunities and challenges it brought those seeking greater social justice within the democracy. Over the years AIDC has played a leading role in various civil society responses to ongoing inequality including facilitating the launch and building of the South African Jubilee 2000 debt cancellation campaign, and the Right to Work Campaign. --- About Crash Course Economics Crash Course is a platform designed to open up debate on how we can move out of the current crisis and make the necessary steps towards achieving social, economic, ecological and regenerative justice.

Guest : Dick Forslund | Economist & Researcher at Alternative Information & Development                                        Centre | Close to 100 economists have rallied together and written an open letter to the Standing Committee on Finance to reject the newly released supplementary budget (as tabled by the Minister of Finance on Wednesday 24 June 2020).    The open letter and submission from South African economists, economic and business analysts, and others on the Supplementary Budget (tabled 24 June 2020) argues that the Supplementary Budget Reneges on the President’s COVID-19 Rescue Package and poses dire risks to the country.    South Africa is in an unprecedented crisis. The Minister projected a fall in GDP of 7.2% and estimates of jobs at risk vary to as high as 2 million.  Millions will be plunged deeper into poverty if action isn’t taken immediately.

This episode is an extract from the first in our series of webinars focused on Covid-19, which featured a presentation by Sonia Shah, author of Pandemic: Tracking contagions from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond (2017), as well as contributions from experts on public health systems and activists on the frontlines responding to the crisis in the Global South. Images from Italy of the army unloading coffins, exhausted doctors and fearful citizens in ever more countries  shocked the world and pushed even recalcitrant politicians into action. But the real health disaster could still be ahead of us as the pandemic spreads in countries in the Global South, impoverished by decades of policies of neoliberal austerity, with weak public health systems and people already in highly precarious conditions. It will not be enough to respond at only a community or national level. How can social movements mobilise an internationalist response? Panellists:  - Sonia Shah, award-winning investigative science journalist and author of Pandemic: Tracking contagions from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond (2017). - Luis Ortiz Hernandez, public health professor in UAM-Xochimilco, Mexico. Expert on social and economic health inequities. - Benny Kuruvilla, Head of India Office, Focus on the Global South, working closely with Forum For Trade Justice. - Mazibuko Jara, Deputy Director, Tshisimani Centre for Activist Education, helping to coordinate a national platform of civic organisations in South Africa to confront COVID-19.

I denne episoden har vi snakket med kjendisøkonomen Gabriel Zucman – en av de fremste ekspertene på skatteparadiser. Han forteller at skatteparadisene fungerer som en maskin som stadig speeder opp ulikheten i verden. Skal vi bli kvitt den hurtigvoksende ulikheten som brer om seg, må vi kvitte oss med skatteparadisene. Samtidig kommer han med en klar advarsel til dagens politikere – vi må radikalt endre det finansielle systemet vi har i dag, ellers kan reaksjonære og antidemokratiske krefter bruke ulikheten og den misnøyen det fører til, til å nøre opp om proteksjonisme, hat og fremmedfrykt.I tillegg har vi tatt en spasertur med Kalle Moene i Frognerparken, Norges fremste ekspert på økonomisk ulikhet, og vi har vært i Sør-Afrika – landet med de største økonomiske skillene i verden.Vi har snakket med:Gabriel Zucman, førsteamanuensis i økonomi ved UC Berkeley og forfatter av boka The Hidden Wealth of NationsKeamogetswe Seipato, development activist, Alternative Information and Development Center in Cape Town, South AfricaKalle Moene, professor i økonomi ved Universitetet i Oslo og ekspert på ulikhet.Coverbilde: Gabriel Zucman, (Foto: Peter Ringstad)Musikk:Bensound (http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music)

Fine Music Radio — It’s all been about the poor performance of our economy, slow growth, you name it. A week of painful introspection, no matter how Malusi Gigaba dresses up his words or indeed his person with designer suits and spectacles. There is a lot of talk, comment, on how the economy could be vamped up, efficiencies increased, corruption rooted out. There must be hope for a better deal in the future. What are politicians without hope? Most commentators say there’s nothing much that the Minister can offer, as we’re tied to the current model of the market, selling of minerals and a bit of agricultural produce – in short the same thing as before. But wait, say the alternative society protagonists – it’s time for a new socio-economic paradigm. Paradigm? One of those fashionable words that make you sound clever – it simply means model of how things work. Let’s change the paradigm of society and the economy says the A I D C, the Alternative Information and Development Centre. Since 2011 they’ve been working on this new paradigm, which will radically change the way we trade, the way we live. And I mean radically, as the AIDC thinking is unashamedly to the Left, or against the capitalist paradigm that we are firmly entrenched in. So what to do? Create a Million Climate Jobs! What do they mean, climate jobs? We’re coming to that. First though South Africa has to transition away from the Minerals-Energy complex that continues to dominate our capitalist economy, to a low-carbon economy in which the basic needs of communities are met in an equitable, sustainable and affordable way. There have been developments in the right direction since 2011, but the solutions are being pursued with the logic of the capital market. In these six years there have been many developments – for instance, renewable energy is now firmly established as part of the energy mix (although still a minor part); retrofitting buildings, and the development of environmentally friendly construction methods The Alternative Information and Development Centre
