Join Lionel as he rambles psychotically through the biggest mysteries and political failures of the day. This episode unpacks Vladimir Putin's motives regarding Ukraine and his offer to release a 350-page document on the JFK assassination. Lionel argues that the system is designed like a "hall of mirrors", ensuring the truth behind the Kennedy killing—including the missing brain and the bullet hole in the windshield—remains permanently off-limits. Hear critiques of "crettonous" media figures like Piers Morgan, and deep dives into domestic issues, including the powerlessness of voters against Big Tech lobbyists, and the societal conditioning that has made curiosity embarrassing. Plus: What exactly is a "Republican strategist", and why are we worried about Ukraine instead of Antifa and potholes? Don't let them make the truth invisible. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode of "The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel" focuses on Warrior Wednesday as Lionel and his beloved wife, Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors, tackle the urgent youth mental health crisis. Lynn Shaw sounds the alarm on the well-documented youth mental health crisis in the U.S., which coincides with the rise of social media among children. The discussion reveals that these devices are not mere phones but are "an onboard computer and portal to predation". Lynn highlights the crucial bipartisan legislative effort behind the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which aims to impose a "duty of care" on Big Tech to protect children. The episode also uncovers the alarming dangers of AI chatbots (like Character AI), which learn vulnerabilities and are linked to self-harm and lawsuits. Finally, listeners will learn the four new norms necessary to reverse this course: no smartphone before high school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, and encouraging real-world independence. This is a matter of life and death; parents must educate themselves and advocate for their children. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Doctorow lays out his "enshittification" playbook—how tech platforms lure users, trap businesses, then extract value from both—tying it to interoperability, right-to-repair, and DMCA lock-ins, with Facebook as Exhibit A. He explains why incremental state laws can break Big Tech's coalitions better than sweeping federal reforms. Meanwhile, Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro warns, "If the gringos threaten, we work harder; if they attack, we respond," after Trump-ordered strikes sink another Caribbean vessel, this time with proof the public can't see. Also: the Spiel contends that hostages were freed not by moral suasion but by sustained force—and that human-rights maximalism, however sincere, often misunderstands how wars actually end.

In this episode, Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down a dramatic week in the markets, spotlighting the volatility surge driven by surprise tariff headlines and shifting macro risks. They dig into the growing dangers of passive investing, the outsized impact of the “Magnificent 7” on everyday portfolios, and why even small CapEx pullbacks in Big Tech could ripple across the market. The hosts also examine gold's frenzy (fueled by retail and historic central bank buying) and debate whether recent sell-offs foreshadow a broader reset, and warn that rising tariffs, weak consumer signals, and struggling IPOs could all spell trouble ahead. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

Teamsters President Sean O'Brien calls out Amazon, Uber, and Lyft for exploiting workers through 1099 loopholes. In this PBD Podcast, Patrick Bet-David challenges O'Brien on what makes a “real job,” the future of unions, and whether corporate giants are America's new enemy.

KING AMAZIAH of Judah is a classic example of someone whose pride got the better of him. 2 Kings 14 tells us that after Amaziah became king, he led a successful military campaign against Edom. He captured the stronghold of Sela, which was probably Petra in present-day Jordan, defeating an army of some 10,000 Edomites. This led him to provoke a war with the northern kingdom of Israel. Despite a warning from King Jehoash to “be content with your glory, and stay at home,” Amaziah wouldn't listen, the two kingdoms went to war, Judah was defeated, and Amaziah, like his father, fell victim to a palace coup. The parallel chapter in 2 Chronicles 25 reveals that Amaziah brought idols representing the gods of Edom back to Jerusalem and began to worship them, and that this was the reason the king provoked a war with Israel—God used this war to humble Amaziah and those who followed him into pagan worship.

Mallory Knodel,  executive director of the Social Web Foundation and founder of a weekly newsletter called the Internet Exchange, and Burcu Kilic, a senior fellow at Canada's Center for International Governance Innovation, or CIGI, are the authors of a recent post on the Internet Exchange titled “Big Tech Redefined the Open Internet to Serve Its Own Interests,” which explores how the idea of the ‘open internet' has been hollowed out by decades of policy choices and corporate consolidation. Kilic traces the problem back to the 1990s, when the US government adopted a hands-off, industry-led approach to regulating the web, paving the way for surveillance capitalism and the dominance of Big Tech. Knodel explains how large companies have co-opted the language of openness and interoperability to defend monopolistic control. The two argue that trade policy, weak enforcement of regulations like the GDPR, and the rise of AI have deepened global dependencies on a few powerful firms, while the current AI moment risks repeating the same mistakes. They say to push back we must call for coordinated, democratic alternatives: stronger antitrust action, public digital infrastructure, and grassroots efforts to rebuild truly open, interoperable, and civic-minded technology systems.

According to the platform economist Sangeet Paul Choudary, author of Reshuffle, today's AI hype is a feature rather than a bug in Silicon Valley. It's a deliberate mechanism to attract capital in an “attention-poor, capital-heavy economy” while distracting from the lack of short-term business results. So who will ultimately win and who will lose in today's AI arms race? While Choudary predicts power will concentrate around infrastructure players like Nvidia and enterprise workflow companies like Microsoft and Google, he warns that OpenAI risks becoming “the Cisco of this revolution” unless it moves beyond the commoditizing model layer. More troubling, for Choudary, is AI's societal impact. We cannot trust Big Tech with our “agentic future,” he cautions—particularly as technologies like OpenAI's Pulse preview eliminate the last vestige of user agency that we still possess. While pessimistic about US and Chinese models built on data hoarding and state-backed monopolies, the Dubai-based Choudary sees promise in India's stack experiment, where digital public infrastructure allows users to own their data and get paid when AI trains on it.1. The Algorithm Creates a New Class Divide The critical inequality today isn't traditional capital vs. labor—it's between those who work “above the algorithm” (designing systems, like Uber data scientists) and those working “below it” (controlled by systems, like Uber drivers whose rates and job access are algorithmically determined).2. AI Hype is a Feature, Not a Bug In an attention-poor, capital-heavy economy, hype serves as a mechanism to attract investment. Companies selling distant AGI narratives and engaging in circular deals (OpenAI-Nvidia-Microsoft-Oracle) are propping up valuations while actual business results remain uncertain. A market correction is “long overdue.”3. Power Will Concentrate at Two Layers of the AI Stack Winners will emerge at the infrastructure level (Nvidia for chips/inference) and the customer workflow level (likely Google or Microsoft with their enterprise relationships). The middle layer—the model itself—is already commoditizing. OpenAI risks becoming “the Cisco of this revolution” unless it successfully moves up to the workflow layer.4. We Can't Trust Big Tech with Our “Agentic Future” Today we still have agency to click, even if our attention is manipulated. But as AI agents make decisions for us (like OpenAI's Pulse preview), we surrender that agency entirely, enabling even more extraction. Current business models are built on data hoarding—adding agent technology on top eliminates user agency completely.5. Four Distinct Geopolitical AI Models Are Emerging The US favors private enterprise (increasingly intertwined with government), China lets innovation happen then absorbs it into state control, India is building digital public infrastructure where users own their data and get paid for AI training, and UAE is converting oil reserves into compute power to sell AI services globally.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Juan Manuel de los Reyes analizan a fondo si el mercado realmente está viviendo una burbuja de inteligencia artificial o si, por el contrario, la inversión masiva sigue sustentada en fundamentos sólidos.Comienzan revisando las advertencias del Fondo Monetario Internacional y del Banco de Inglaterra, que alertan sobre el riesgo de una corrección si se desinfla el entusiasmo por la IA.Luego contrastan esa visión con los reportes de Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley y JP Morgan, que señalan que, aunque el crecimiento ha sido vertiginoso, las empresas de Big Tech mantienen ganancias robustas y balances más sanos que en la burbuja del 2000.El episodio se adentra también en el impacto real de esta ola de inversión: desde los megaproyectos de centros de datos como el de Meta hasta el enorme consumo de energía y agua que genera demanda en sectores como utilities, industriales y commodities.Finalmente, los hosts discuten si el boom actual de la IA puede sostenerse en el tiempo o si está acercándose a un punto de inflexión que podría redefinir la dinámica del mercado global.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with wild headlines before turning to the week's heavier stories. They react to leaked messages from Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, which reignite debate over party loyalty and political violence, then break down new reports surrounding the Biden administration, including declassified CIA records tied to Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, FBI data collection on Republican senators, and growing pressure on Big Tech to police speech. The conversation expands into censorship, corruption, and how government agencies and media platforms overlap in ways that shape what Americans see. The group examines how outrage cycles are engineered, why humor still works as resistance, and how cultural fatigue has pushed audiences toward skepticism and satire. After a long dive into politics and media manipulation, the crew winds down with movie talk, sketch ideas, and the Half-Assed Top 10, ranking the most absurd moments in country music headlines, from Zach Bryan's backlash to the ongoing collision of art and activism. Today's guest on "Normal World" is Gerard Michaels.

It's Warrior Wednesday on The Other Side of Midnight! Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors joins Lionel to expose the overlooked truth: America is failing its boys. Lionel dives deep into the toxic culture surrounding young men, examining the dangers of "toxic masculinity" and the rise of online rage groups. Lynn details how Big Tech prioritizes profit over children and discusses key legislative efforts like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Get essential, actionable advice on becoming a "warrior" in your own home and inoculating children against this destruction. Lynn's Warriors is committed to raising awareness and ending exploitation by grassroots mobilization, advocacy, and education. Lionel critiques the current political landscape, arguing that Republicans "don't know how to fight" and often rely on "WWE politics" instead of effective messaging. He aims to be the "psychologist general" in charge of propaganda, exposing how "narrowcasting" obscures the truth about the "shadow government" the real force running the show, controlling image and mood. Topics range from Hollywood's output to fundamental Constitutional issues like the separation of church and state. Lionel argues that the current political climate suggests America is headed for a "civil war" of an internal nature, fueled by those who view white Americans and patriots as the enemy.  Lionel delivers an intellectual "complete and total reset" for listeners, often referring to his methodology as a form of "fecal transplantation" for the mind. Lionel provides strategies for winning the intellectual war, including the necessity to weaponize humor, spotlight the rot of systems with style, and flood the zone with truth. Lionel urges his listeners to move on and not waste time arguing with those who don't know the facts, emphasizing that the goal is to win  Pop culture nostalgia and unpredictable conversations, beginning with the colossal legacy of The Ed Sullivan Show. Discover how the "stiff" host introduced everyone from Elvis (forced to be filmed waist-up) to the Beatles. The show also features hilarious and detailed anecdotes about bizarre Catholic rituals and unexpected calls about cryptic nicknames and the enduring fear of clowns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Exposing the Technocratic Assault: AI Slavery, Surveillance, Biodigital Convergence, and Pathways to Resistance Join me, Courtenay Turner, as host and MC for the complete recording of the Omniwar Symposium, held on October 4, 2025. This 5.5-hour event, presented by the Study Group on Technology and Power, features in-depth analyses from leading scholars on the escalating threats of technocracy to human autonomy, sovereignty, and societal integrity. From the weaponization of digital technologies in class warfare to the esoteric roots fueling transhumanist agendas, this symposium unpacks the mechanisms of control shaping our world. Featured Presentations: Patrick Wood: “Building Empire on the Backs of Digital Slaves” – A historical and contemporary dissection of technocracy's drive for global domination via AI and blockchain. David A. Hughes, PhD: “Digital Technologies as Weapons” – An examination of GovTech, agentic states, and cognitive warfare as tools for algorithmic dictatorship. Jacob Nordangård, PhD: “Externalizing the Agentic AI State: A Spiritual Path Towards Digital Enslavement” – Tracing the fusion of New Age philosophies and transhumanism in the creation of a digital “world brain.” Google's “The Selfish Ledger” Interlude: A leaked internal video illustrating Big Tech's vision of data as an evolutionary tool for behavioral engineering. Daniel Broudy, PhD: “Born Again: The Convergence of Man and Machine in the Spirit of AI-god” – An eschatological analysis of transhumanism as idolatry, blending prophecy and psycholinguistics. Followed by a panel discussion on intersections of technocracy, spirituality, and resistance strategies, plus a dynamic Q&A addressing audience queries on solutions, globalist agendas, and nanotechnology.

What happens when a 17-year Google veteran starts over with a 10-person AI startup? David Petrou, founder and CEO of Continua AI, joins Amir to unpack what it really takes to go from Big Tech stability to startup chaos. They dive into what to keep, what to unlearn, and how to build a high-performing team when everyone has to wear ten hats.From career ladders to “vibe coding,” David shares a candid look at the tradeoffs, mindset shifts, and hard lessons behind scaling something new in AI.Key Takeaways• Career ladders are a luxury—startups win by hiring for adaptability and shared ownership, not rigid progression.• Moving from Big Tech to startup means trading resources for speed—and rediscovering why building things is fun again.• Productivity at small teams thrives on decisive action and ruthless prioritization, not endless debate.• AI is transforming software development—but human experience still defines whether the tools actually deliver.• The best retention strategy in a startup: keep the work interesting and the problems worth solving.Timestamped Highlights[00:48] How Continua AI brings “social AI” into group chats[05:35] Why hiring for collaboration beats hiring for raw talent[08:51] The real gap between Big Tech engineers and startup engineers[11:19] What David had to unlearn after 17 years at Google[18:58] How limited resources force sharper technical decision-making[22:32] Productivity at early-stage startups—making faster decisions and moving forward[26:41] “Vibe coding,” AI-assisted development, and why experienced engineers adapt fasterMemorable Moment“It's much better to be a few degrees off from optimal and moving fast than stuck in indecision for two weeks.” — David PetrouPro TipsWhen hiring for an early-stage startup, focus less on titles or ladders and more on whether the person thrives without structure.

Charles Derber, Professor of Sociology at Boston College, discusses his latest book Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relations, and the Quest for Democracy (Routledge, 2025) and why sociocide is a most relevant and pressing societal issue facing our societies, what Derber views as a collective suicide of society by the “we” and the rise of the “me” superceding all social connections. Covering the disappearance of labour unions and their participation in the United States, Derber details the vanishing of vital social spaces, such as family and work, resulting in the breakdown of social relations and a conterminous increase in authoritarianism. Historicising the sociopathy of early American capitalism with the rise of the “robber barons” such as John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie, Derber notes how capitalism skewed society's dominant values towards the antisocial, leading to the breakdown of society. Derber also notes how, despite the exploitative nature of employment throughout the 19th century, workers could count on a certain measure of continuity. With the rise of neoliberalism and Big Tech in the late twentieth century, Derber details how today's worker exploitation by far surpasses the exploitation of previous eras, as the employment relationship today is now largely contingent, with workers burning out much more quickly whilst being paid less than survival wages, making the exploitation of the 19th century look almost desirable by comparison.

We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren't random—together they outline how the U.S. could accumulate Bitcoin through balance-sheet proxies (think corporate treasuries and miners) instead of a headline-grabbing “sell gold, buy BTC.” If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can't rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” We dig into why miners keep going bankrupt post-halvings, how AI is siphoning racks and power, what a policy path of subsidies for home nodes/miners might look like, and why that still isn't enough to keep Bitcoin credibly neutral. Enter NAT: a parallel, market-driven subsidy that pays miners without touching 21M—designed to counter deflationary hardware trends and reduce centralization pressure. We cover who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it), the “strategic reserve via companies” thesis, and how this all fits the next 100 years of dollar rails, stablecoins, and energy. If you're a miner, dev, or serious Bitcoiner who cares about durability over vibes, this one's for you. Nothing here is financial advice. Topics:  First up, We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren't random Next, If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can't rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” and Finally, covering who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it) Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

Big Tech has invaded the classrooms of American schools and is harvesting massive amounts of data on students from kindergarten through university. If the data mining of children isn't bad enough, the information is being used in nefarious ways to create profiles on the “human capital” that is grown in the government school system. As AI invades every facet of Western society, the education system is poised for a massive overhaul by the Silicon Valley Tech Bros. As the AI chatbots work to help kids with their school work, unusual and deeply unhealthy social bonds are forming between children and their machines. Investigative journalist and college professor, John Klyczek, has been writing about this tech creep since his first book, School World Order, was published just prior to COVID. --------- Watch the video version of the episode on the Macroaggressions Rumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions  --------- MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io  Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/  Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast --------- Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com  Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com  --------- Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver @ (800) 426-1836: https://macroaggressions.gold/ LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com  EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro  Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471  Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO  --------- Guest Information John Klyczek | www.UnlimitedHangout.com  ---------

THE TEMPLE in Jerusalem fell into disrepair within a century of the death of Solomon. The king who repaired it was a good man—sort of. Joash (or Jehoash), son of Ahaziah, reigned in Judah 835–796 BC. He was made king at age seven by the high priest Jehoiada and is credited with restoring the Temple—even pushing the priests, who seemed rather slow to make repairs even after they were ordered to do so. However, the account in 2 Chronicles 24 records that after the death of Jehoiada, Joash fell away and returned to the pagan gods of the Canaanites. Worse, he had the son of Jehoiada, Zechariah, murdered for calling him out! As a consequence, God allowed Judah to be defeated by a relatively small army from the neighboring Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and Joash was assassinated in his bed by two of his servants. We also discuss the death of Elisha in the northern kingdom of Israel, and why King Joash (same name, different king) failed to completely defeat the Arameans. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah.

“Connection” was the promise—and goal—of much of the early internet. No longer would people be separated from vital resources and news that was either too hard to reach or made simply inaccessible by governments. No longer would education be guarded behind walls both physical and paid. And no longer would your birthplace determine so much about the path of your life, as the internet could connect people to places, ideas, businesses, collaborations, and agency.Somewhere along the line though, “connection” got co-opted. The same platforms that brought billions of people together—including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat—started to divide them for profit. These companies made more money by showing people whatever was most likely to keep them online, even if it upset them. More time spent on the platfrom meant more likelihood of encountering ads which meant more advertising revenue for Big Tech.Today, these same platforms are now symbols of some of the worst aspects of being online. Nation-states have abused the platforms to push disinformation campaigns. An impossible sense of scale allows gore and porn and hate speech to slip by even the best efforts at content moderation. And children can be exposed to bullying, peer pressure, and harassment.So, what would it take to make online connection a good thing?Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Rabble—an early architect of social media, Twitter's first employee, and host of the podcast Revolution.Social—about what good remains inside social media and what steps are being taken to preserve it.“ I don't think that what we're seeing with social media is so much a set of new things that are disasters that are rising up from this Pandora's box… but rather they're all things that existed in society and now they're not all kept locked away. So we can see them and we have to address them now.”Tune in today.

The Palestinian liberation struggle is a fundamental class and anti-colonial issue. First-time guest to the podcast, Professor Omar Zahzah, talks with Steve about the active collaboration of Silicon Valley tech giants with the US and Israeli governments to censor and suppress anti-Zionist narratives. "What these companies are doing is digitally amplifying a physical process of settler colonial dispossession." Omar goes beyond labeling digital censorship as simple political bias. He argues that Silicon Valley's actions are a direct extension of imperialist goals in Palestine: the erasure of a people, their narrative, and their history. Big Tech is not a referee – not even a biased one. It is an active combatant. Omar provides a sharp critique of how the language of safety and anti-racism is co-opted and weaponized. Online platforms use terms like "harassment" and "hate speech" to silence criticism. In their discussion, Omar and Steve apply Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony to the digital sphere. They analyze how Big Tech platforms shape our "common sense," not just through outright censorship, but through algorithmic curation, shadow-banning, and overwhelming activists with trolls and bots, waging a "digital war of attrition" that drains energy and shifts perceptions. They also suggest the potential TikTok ban is not just a US-China trade issue but a symptom of a crisis of hegemony. Omar Zahzah is a writer, poet, organizer of Lebanese Palestinian descent, and Assistant Professor of Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas (AMED) Studies at San Francisco State University. Omar has covered digital repression in relation to Palestine as a freelance journalist since May 2021, with work appearing in such outlets as Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye, Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss, CounterPunch, and more. Omar holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from UCLA. His recently published book is Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital Settler Colonialism in the Palestinian Liberation Struggle @dromarzahzah on X

What if the solution to tech-induced meltdowns wasn't another app, but a different kind of screen altogether? In this urgent, hope-filled conversation, Ginny sits down with Daylight founder and CEO Anjan Katta as well as Tristan Scott—two innovators taking on Big Tech with what they call “the least computer possible.” They explain how Daylight's reflective, blue-light-free, flicker-free display works with natural light (even in full sun), why that calms kids' nervous systems, and how designing for finite, intentional use (reading, writing, audiobooks, selected learning tools) restores attention, sleep, and sanity. You'll hear the “slot machine vs. riverside” analogy you won't forget—and a wild experiment where kids actually got bored of YouTube on a Daylight device. Tristan unpacks EMFs(and how Daylight's “smart airplane mode,” ethernet support, and outdoor use shrink exposure, while Anjan shares the conviction that drove him to build a screen he needed for his own hypersensitive brain and for every child caught in today's attention economy. This is calm technology for real childhoods: fewer tantrums, fewer tabs, more outside time, and more cognitive sovereignty for families. If EdTech is everywhere, this episode shows a better way in.

Episode 4819: Downfall Of Portland; Breaking Big Tech And Chat Bots Encouraging Suicide

The partial federal shutdown is a joke born out of nonsense, with both parties agreeing to keep our economy, society, and system of government shutdown.

Next, I focus on the shutdown of representative democracy, as the judicial power has never been greater and is undoing the good things Trump is at least attempting to pursue. We are also facing a shutdown of health care in America. I offer a plan for Republicans to rally around and shove down the throats of Democrats who have made the shutdown about health care.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
