How do we fight back against the broligarchs? Journalist Gil Durán, of the must-read newsletters Nerd Reich and FrameLab, shows the way, in this week's Gaslit Nation. Jean-Paul Sartre's famous line, “Hell is other people,” from his play No Exit, written in Nazi-occupied France, captured a grievance that mirrored the era's ideological clashes—fascism, communism, and isolationism, often overlapping and competing, fueling Stalin's genocides, the Holocaust, and World War II. The solution to sharing society with others, it seemed, was elimination: kill them. This is why democracies rely on tolerance—you don't have to like my existence, but you must let me exist in peace. Yet today's tech oligarchs, having amassed unimaginable wealth, would rather invest billions in creating tech colonies and new religions to justify mass murder, enslavement, and C.E.O. king fiefdoms than address world hunger, provide free education, and strengthen social safety nets. Their vision isn't coexistence—they're building an anti-empathy billionaire bunker cult. Gil Durán, a San Francisco journalist and former editorial page editor of The Sacramento Bee and The San Francisco Examiner, has a front-row view of the rise of the broligarchs, analyzing their fascist justifications for cruelty in his popular newsletter, Nerd Reich. Durán spent over a decade in California politics, serving as chief communications strategist for Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Attorney General Kamala Harris. His work has appeared in The New Republic, Esquire, and PBS. He co-founded Framelab, a newsletter on politics, language, and the brain, with Dr. George Lakoff. Most importantly we discuss: how do we defeat the Nerd Reich and the Vichy Democrats? This week's bonus for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher continues with Gil Durán of Nerd Reich, examining Democratic leaders as controlled opposition—public allies secretly serving the oligarchs.

When asked on Fox about the possibility of a recession, Trump said he hates to predict things like that, but would not rule out a 2025 recession. His was a message of it may get worse before it gets better. He said:“There is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing.”Meanwhile, the back and forth over firing federal workers and cutting federal programs continues. We welcome Alex Lawson to the show.

Guest: Larry Baer, CEO of the San Francisco GiantsIn 1992, Larry Baer was part of the ownership group that bought the San Francisco Giants and successfully prevented the team from being moved to Tampa, Florida. Back then, they had a big problem to solve: An old, uncomfortable ballpark that voters wanted to see replaced, but didn't want to pay for.20 years after the construction and financial success of Candlestick Park's replacement, Oracle Park, Baer — now the CEO of the Giants — embarked on an even bigger project, developing an entire neighborhood near Oracle called Mission Rock. “We're in the baseball business, but really, we're in the media, entertainment, sports, real estate business,” he says.

House Republicans call for the prosecution of former Republican Representative Liz Cheney for her role investigating President Trump's actions in the January 6th insurrection. There is speculation that President Biden might pardon Cheney and other members of Congress to protect them from retaliatory prosecution once Trump takes office. Among those on the incoming president's enemies list, California's newest U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, who led the impeachment of then-president Trump when he was representing Los Angeles in the House of Representatives. Now Schiff is in the Senate, having been sworn in last week to finish the last few weeks of the late Dianne Feinstein's term. He will be sworn in again in January to begin his own six-year term. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart and KCBS Radio political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with California Senator Adam Schiff.

There are more than 40,000 foreign nationals serving in our military. And most of them are just one mistake away from being deported. But some veterans are advocating for a federal law that would make it easier for foreign-born soldiers to become American citizens.

Reporter: Marisa Lagos, KQED President-elect Trump has pledged to conduct mass deportations.

The US Presidential debate was yet another example of average Americans struggling to combat sophisticated mis-dis-information and propaganda. In parallel, we have all watched as Amazon was caught engineering their Alexa assistant to favor one political side over the other. A federal judge has also ruled that Google will be punished for illegally monopolizing the internet search market, which furthermore includes the manipulation of accessible data, often altered in favor of corporations and zealot-ideology. Search engines like Bing promote sexual abuse content of children and Instagram connects pedophile networks, just as Google's Dragonfly program was a censorship engine for China that has, at least in concept, been employed against the American people. But it's China warning against Americans spying on Chinese citizens, a report from NBC notes. Meanwhile, Chinese agents like Linda Sun infiltrated the Governor's office of New York; Senator Diane Feinstein employed a Chinese spy for 20 years; Congressman Eric Swalwell was penetrating Christine Fang while she infiltrated him; the Chinese ran a bio-lab in California; China operates police stations in major US cities, and famously Confucius Institutes at Universities. It appears that China has infiltrated schools, local governments, and corporations across the United States. Massive corporations own politicians, foreign governments have easily infiltrated the country, and universities are nothing but programming facilities for generations of drones. Just as the movie Network pointed out in 1976: “There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.” The only difference today is that those most opposed to these companies are nothing but PR representatives, not politicians. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

In this episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Sara begins by covering the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia, where four people are confirmed dead and at least 30 others are injured. Sara emphasizes the urgency for stronger school security measures while calling out those who resist necessary changes. The episode then shifts to the arrest of Linda Sun, a former aide to Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, for working as an unregistered agent of the Chinese Communist Party. Sun's infiltration highlights a growing national security threat, which Sara ties to previous CCP-related scandals, including Eric Swalwell's connection to Chinese spy Fang Fang and Dianne Feinstein's CCP-linked driver. Sara warns that CCP influence is spreading, from land purchases near U.S. military bases to embedding agents within American institutions. The episode takes a darker turn as Sara addresses the disturbing push of radical gender ideology onto young children. Clips reveal shocking products like “packers” being marketed to girls under five to mimic male genitalia. Sara ties this to the broader manipulation by platforms like TikTok, where harmful ideologies are promoted in the U.S. while China censors similar content, further illustrating the insidious nature of these agendas. The episode also exposes the shocking failures in Donald Trump's security detail, with whistleblower accounts revealing how Homeland Security agents were given insufficient training to protect the former president amid alleged threats from Iran. Finally, Sara and her panel review a clip of Peter Doocy pressing White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Kamala Harris' inconsistent accents while campaigning. Sara argues that this disingenuous behavior is a reflection of a deeper dishonesty in leadership. As the election approaches, Sara urges viewers to stay alert and informed about the critical issues shaping America's future. Sara is joined by Glenn Beck's chief writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, and Dave Landau, host of "Normal World" on BlazeTV. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Too many democrats have a tight relationship with China.Tim Walz lived there, taught there, even honeymooned there. Diane Feinstein had a CCP driver who chauffeured her for 20 years. Eric Swalwell had an affair with a Chinese spy. And now New York governor Kathy Hochul is discovered to have employed a CCP operative as her former deputy chief of staff. These liaisons threaten our national security. But don't ask Alexa about it. Listen to my PERSONAL PROOF that artificial intelligence and technology are clearly being manipulated to benefit the Democrat party.

On this edition of Parallax Views, San Francisco-based journalist Gil Duran, a former communications director for U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein & Kamala Harris (during her time as Attorney General), joins the show to discuss the big tech oligarchs backing Donald Trump, JD Vance, and MAGA this election season and their strange, science fiction-sounding techno-authoritarian vision for America. Gil Duran recently wrote two pieces in The New Republic that will form the basis for this conversation. The first, "Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas", deals with JD Vance and the figure of Mencius Moldbug aka Curtis Yarvin, both of whom have a conneciton to Peter Thiel. Moldbug/Yarvin, for the uninitiated, is a key figure in the formation of what's come to be known as "Neo-Reaction" (NRx). Yarvin has promoted many ideas over the years, including the creation of corporate-controlled sovereign "realms" such as an imagined version of San Francisco called "Friscorps". These realms would essentially serve as panopticon-esque Orwellian surveillance systems. For example, in regard to his concept of Friscorps, Yarvin writes: “All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is, and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both.” We'll delve into Yarvin's ideas about patchworks, his strange writings about using humans as biodiesel fuel, and, most importantly, how his RAGE (Retire All Government Employees) plan bears similarties to Project 2025. And yes, as previously mentioned, we'll discuss how both Vance and Yarvin are tied to Peter Thiel. The second article, also from The New Republic, that informs much of Gil and I's discussion is entitled "The Tech Baron Seeking to Purge San Francisco of 'Blues'". That piece deals with the figure of venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan and his rather right-wing, techno-authoritarian vision for San Francisco vis-a-vis a concept called the Network State. We'll delve into Srinivasan's ideas about the Network State as well as a concept he refers to as "techno-Zionism" and the conflict between what he calls the gray tribe (tech-loyalists) and the blue tribe (liberal voters). According to Duran, Srinivasan's vision involves purging Blues from San Francisco. “Take total control of your neighborhood. Push out all Blues. Tell them they're ... unwelcome,” Srinivasan says, "Just as Blues ethnically cleanse me out of San Francisco, like, push out all Blues.” We'll dissect exactly what Srinivasan meant by that and much more. Additionally, Gil and I will delve into why these figures are fascinated by the figure of French philosopher Rene Girard and his writings on the scapegoat mechanism of mimetic theory, how these figures are influenced by the controversial legal theorist Carl Schmitt (who worked for the Nazis under Hitler's Third Reich) and Schmitt's concept of the Sovereign and the State of Exception, and much, much more. In other words, you'll be hearing episode pulling the curtain back on the Silicon Valley/venture capitalist right-wing in California and America more broadly.
