Yasha Levine is an investigative journalist and the author of Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet (PublicAffairs, 2018). We spoke recently about the response to COVID-19 in the city of Los Angeles, where he currently lives. Since it's Yasha, the conversation quickly turned to surveillance and empire and the fact that the systemic collapse of the USA (ca. 2020) is largely the result of the chickens coming home to roost — as web 2.0 influencer Ward Churchill might say. After taping that call I decided to expand the discussion a bit by bringing on Anne Orchier, an organizer with NOlympics LA, about why the Olympics is bad news and how Los Angeles is, much like the rest of the country, experiencing "disaster capitalism" run amok.

No Olympics Los Angeles co-chair Anne Orchier says the campaign to cancel the 2028 is still active. She speaks with ATR Editor about concerns over the 2028 Olympics.

Our friend Anne of Valley Video and NOlympics LA joins us to analyze what we consider to be THE definitive contemporary Christian movie. The one that inspired us to start this podcast. Kevin Sorbo stars as a celebrity atheist author whose near death experience changes his spiritual perspective. The supporting cast is star-studded too - Sean Hannity appears, country legend Travis Tritt is in the mix, reformed former mob boss Michael Franzese plays "Pastor Vinny", and Sorbo's wife Sam and his two kids figure prominently. We went extra long on this one so we could talk about everything. We hope you enjoy! Please excuse our sound quality on this one as the quarantine caught us off guard. All of us have our own mic setups at home now and will be free of sin in future episodes.  Check out Anne's fantastic screening series Valley Video, and look for a livestream show soon! http://valley.video/ Also check out Anne's organization NOlympics LA, which aims to cancel the 2028 LA Olympics that will ruin lives and destroy our beautiful city https://nolympicsla.com/  

This time we've got a bit of an off-beat interview, talking with Anne Orchier about the effort to stop Los Angeles from hosting the Olympic Games in 2028. It's not directly relevant to the coronavirus pandemic, but it does have a lot of the same themes, in that the Olympics have become a locus of disaster capitalism where rich elites wreak terrible social carnage to make a quick buck. Enjoy!

"Lotteryism" is the use of the media by large corporations to obscure solidarity in favor of morality tales of “making it”. It’s the atomization of parties of mutual interest by lording over them the promise of something greater than what they could achieve if they simply banded together. Lotteryism is an ideology and a PR operation. Lotteryism, above all, renders us politically impotent. Lotteryism is a scam practiced by large corporations in various iterations to extract resources from local governments in hopes they can “win” their money, "jobs", or presence in their city. Cities compete in a race-to-the-bottom to offer billionaire team owners the best tax breaks and enticing perks. Bill Gates uses it to pit state education departments against one another for funding. Corporations like Mercedes-Benz and Amazon use it to get massive tax breaks and sweetheart deals in cities that want their headquarters. Walmart uses it against local governments to skirt minimum wage requirements and crush unions. The media––namely local media––mindlessly go along with these spectacles without any context or critical analysis. How is the Lotteryism scam practiced? Who does it benefit? And, most importantly, how can we fight it? With guest Anne Orchier, an organizer with NOlympics LA. (And stay tuned for Part II, next week, when we'll be joined by Dave Zirin, sports editor at The Nation.)
