Become a Useful Idiot for extended interviews and bonus content at http://usefulidiots.substack.com Michael R. Jackson had no idea that a monologue he wrote two decades ago would turn into a Broadway musical that would win countless awards, including a Tony and Pulitzer Prize. And when he criticized the political establishment, including Obama, he had no idea that Michelle Obama would be one of the countless celebrities who would flock to see the show. Nor did he imagine that Aaron Maté would fall in love with his musical and play it on loop. The musical A Strange Loop is about a Black, queer writer who has written a musical about a Black, queer writer and it's all written by Michael R. Jackson, a Black, queer writer. Michael dishes on whether he would talk to Tucker Carlson if he came to his show, subverting the Broadway world while becoming a part of it, and how he wrote his Tony-and-Pulitzer-winning musical. Watch the interview then go see the show or listen online. And subscribe to hear the full interview where Michael talks about the culture war, racism on Broadway, and his next musical. Plus, Aaron calls Guardian journalist Mark Townsend, who recently named him the “most prolific spreader of disinformation” on Syria, to ask why he wasn't contacted for the story. Townsend's cowering response is a must hear. It's all this, and more, on this week's episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.

Support Pushback: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate A recent article in The Guardian parroted a US state-funded group's evidence-free allegations that The Grayzone's Aaron Maté -- who has reported extensively on the OPCW's Syria cover-up scandal -- is "the most prolific spreader of disinformation" about Syria among a "network" of "conspiracy theorists." Aaron called Guardian reporter Mark Townsend on the phone to ask him to substantiate these defamatory claims, and why he didn't reach out before printing them. Guest: Mark Townsend. Reporter for The Guardian who wrote the story, “Network of Syria conspiracy theorists identified” — now updated with Aaron Maté's response. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/19/russia-backed-network-of-syria-conspiracy-theorists-identified Note: to reduce repetition, the recording of the phone call between Aaron and Mark Townsend has been shortened. Townsend was contacted for comment prior to publication of this segment, but did not respond.

Dr. Loh reflects on his time leading one of Canada's most populous regions through the pandemic and some of the more bold decisions he made earlier on in the pandemic like issuing a directive for businesses with five or more cases of COVID-19 to shut down, the temporary shutdown of an Amazon warehouse in Peel region that employed as many as 5,000 workers and was facing an outbreak and he tells us about the time he issued a Section 22 under the Health Protection and Promotion Act in order to close down schools in Peel Region to protect kids and families from COVID-19 spread. ---- BC DECRIMINALIZES SMALL POSSESSION OF CERTAIN ILLEGAL DRUGS Libby Znaimer is joined, first, by Chief Mike Serr, co-chair of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Drug Advisory Committee followed by Joseph Neuberger, Criminal Defence Lawyer with Neuberger and Partners LLP and Mark Townsend, who formerly managed Insite-North America's first legal supervised consumption site which opened in 2003 and is located in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

In this episode we have a conversation with the Reverend Mark Townsend to learn about his spiritual journey, and our differing understandings and approaches to understanding the meaning of Jesus, the Cosmic Christ, and multifaith engagement. A former clergyman in the Church of England, Mark now leads his own inclusive and ecumenical ministry that nourishes a strong appreciation for the diversity of faith beyond Christianity, ,and which strives to honor the divine in all peoples, regardless of their faith, culture, sexuality or background. He is a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, in addition to being a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Mark has been featured on the BBC and several other news programs throughout Britain. He is the author of several books, including The Gospel of Falling Down, Diary of a Heretic, The Path of the Blue Raven, and Jesus Through Pagan Eyes. In this podcast we also discuss my edited book Beyond the Burning Times: A Christian and Pagan in Dialogue.

In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing the Reverend Mark Townsend. He is the author of several books including “Jesus through Pagan Eyes,” and “Diary of a Heretic.” Mark was ordained in The Church of England in 1996. However, in July 2010 he decided to resign his Anglican orders and move over to an Independent Sacramental Church. It was a huge decision for Mark, but he feels more able to be a good friend of the Church of England on the outside than an unhappy Cleric within. Mark has been an Independent Priest since June 2011. His ‘Parish' has no geographical boundaries, leaving him free to offer his services and ceremonies to all. As an Independent Priest and member of the Progressive Christian Alliance (PCA), Mark is able to express his open vision of Christian Priesthood in a fully sacramental way. Mark is also a professional Celebrant and a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants. One of the greatest blessings of the last few years is Mark's discovery of the earth-based path of Druidry, which he sees as totally compatible with Christianity. Most modern Druids see their path not so much as a religion but more as a philosophy, which means that there are many who follow the Druid ways and yet remain Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or even Atheist. As a Christian member of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD) he weaves many of the beautiful customs and rituals of this essentially British nature tradition into his ceremonies and services. In doing so he walks in the footsteps of saints like Francis of Assisi who was a deeply earth based pilgrim and who sang canticles to brother sun, sister moon and mother earth.

Raoul Moat was released from a short stint in prison in 2010. In the days that followed he shot three people, including a Northumberland police officer and went on the run in the quiet town of Rothbury.   Police scoured the countryside for this man with murderous intent, a search that ended on the bank of the river Croquet in a six hour stand-off.  ********** Join me at CrimeCon UK on June 12-13th 2021.

Chris Wood joins Alex Perry and Mark Townsend on the podcast to bare his soul in a fascinating insight into his Ryder Cup experience The NCG Podcast: Ryder Cup special – Chris Wood Well, I wish I had played a little bit more. I felt like I was playing pretty well. It was a difficult position for the captain when you lose 4-0 win in the first session on Friday morning, but the likes of myself, Sully and Fitz, we probably weren't given the right chance. I didn't play until Saturday morning and that was it for me until the singles. I played Saturday morning with Rose in foursomes, which went well, but I didn't envisage myself being out in a foursomes. Whether the plans changed or not, I couldn't say. But it felt as if the captain reverted to experience I suppose, rather than giving the rookies a chance to prove themselves, which I think most of us did really. A couple of the experienced lads weren't maybe quite on their game. It's a difficult position to be in obviously but, you know, you sort of feel deep down it's really tough when you aren't picked and you know you are playing pretty good. It's tough to watch, so overall I would say I held my own and individually I felt I had a pretty decent Ryder Cup but, as a team, the individual side is irrelevant if you have not won the trophy. Overall, it was a pretty flat disappointment for me.

Well, not this week podcasters Alex Perry, Mark Townsend and James Savage, but two colleagues who are much, much better at golf than us. But what we can do is dream about getting through Open qualifiers. So that's exactly what we did, right down to what we would wear and who we'd like to play with should we make the real thing. Enjoy. We know you've dreamed about playing in the Open because, well, you're human. So how would you take on the biggest day of your life. Dream with us Twitter and Facebook.

Here's Winston Churchill's June 1899 letter to American author Winston Churchill: Mr. Winston Churchill presents his compliments to Mr. Winston Churchill, and begs to draw his attention to a matter which concerns them both. He has learnt from the Press notices that Mr. Winston Churchill proposes to bring out another novel, entitled Richard Carvel, which is certain to have a considerable sale both in England and America. Mr. Winston Churchill is also the author of a novel now being published in serial form in Macmillan’s Magazine, and for which he anticipates some sale both in England and America. He also proposes to publish on the 1st of October another military chronicle on the Soudan War. He has no doubt that Mr. Winston Churchill will recognise from this letter — if indeed by no other means — that there is grave danger of his works being mistaken for those of Mr. Winston Churchill. He feels sure that Mr. Winston Churchill desires this as little as he does himself. In future to avoid mistakes as far as possible, Mr. Winston Churchill has decided to sign all published articles, stories, or other works, ‘Winston Spencer Churchill,’ and not ‘Winston Churchill’ as formerly. He trusts that this arrangement will commend itself to Mr. Winston Churchill, and he ventures to suggest, with a view to preventing further confusion which may arise out of this extraordinary coincidence, that both Mr. Winston Churchill and Mr. Winston Churchill should insert a short note in their respective publications explaining to the public which are the works of Mr. Winston Churchill and which those of Mr. Winston Churchill. The text of this note might form a subject for future discussion if Mr. Winston Churchill agrees with Mr. Winston Churchill’s proposition. He takes this occasion of complimenting Mr. Winston Churchill upon the style and success of his works, which are always brought to his notice whether in magazine or book form, and he trusts that Mr. Winston Churchill has derived equal pleasure from any work of his that may have attracted his attention.

This week we have Rev. Mark Townsed, author of several books including “Jesus Through Pagan Eyes”. We talk about his journey through both the Church of England and Druidry, and being a multi-faith practitioner.    (Apologies for the Skype noise. Trans-atlantic Skyping has it’s issues!) Mark Townsend is a magician with a difference! He is a Priest, though he NEVER pushes his religious or spiritual beliefs onto others. Rather, he uses magic to awaken people to their own inner ‘spark of magic’ - their own beauty. Mark served as an Anglican Priest for over a decade but more recently decided to resign his membership of the Church of England so he can offer his services in a broader, more eclectic and independent way. He is now a member of the Progressive Christian Alliance and, in 2011, will also be transferring his Priestly Orders to an Independent Episcopal Church with a fully inclusive and open ethos.  With regard to his magic, Mark combines mind-bending effects with mythology, storytelling and a dose of zany humour. He has an inner belief that enchantment is a necessary (and oft missing) ingredient for all people to live healthy lives. However most have forgotten how to experience it. He therefore sees his role as 'Bringing Wonder Back to Life'. Through many years of performing Mark has discovered that his unique approach touches people deeply and not only brings joy and laugher, but also leaves them with a deep feeling of their own inner self worth.    Links Mark’s Facebook page.

Become a Useful Idiot for extended interviews and bonus content at http://usefulidiots.substack.com Michael R. Jackson had no idea that a monologue he wrote two decades ago would turn into a Broadway musical that would win countless awards, including a Tony and Pulitzer Prize. And when he criticized the political establishment, including Obama, he had no idea that Michelle Obama would be one of the countless celebrities who would flock to see the show. Nor did he imagine that Aaron Maté would fall in love with his musical and play it on loop. The musical A Strange Loop is about a Black, queer writer who has written a musical about a Black, queer writer and it's all written by Michael R. Jackson, a Black, queer writer. Michael dishes on whether he would talk to Tucker Carlson if he came to his show, subverting the Broadway world while becoming a part of it, and how he wrote his Tony-and-Pulitzer-winning musical. Watch the interview then go see the show or listen online. And subscribe to hear the full interview where Michael talks about the culture war, racism on Broadway, and his next musical. Plus, Aaron calls Guardian journalist Mark Townsend, who recently named him the “most prolific spreader of disinformation” on Syria, to ask why he wasn't contacted for the story. Townsend's cowering response is a must hear. It's all this, and more, on this week's episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.
