Podcasts about Media manipulation

00:00:00 - Technical Woes and Alex Jones Clips The crew kicks off with complaints about Zoom updates, tech mishaps, and recovering from "goat issues." They catch up on news via Alex Jones clips, including his wild, offensive rants and commentary on MAGA's fractured base and World War III fears. 00:10:00 - Trump, Iran, and the Council on Foreign Relations Discussion turns to Trump's shifting stance on Iran. The Council on Foreign Relations surprisingly urges against U.S. involvement in Israel's military action against Iran. The hosts debate neocon warmongering and America's push for another prolonged conflict. 00:20:00 - Military Industrial Complex and Historical War Declarations Commentary on how U.S. wars have become business ventures for elites. The last declared war was WWII; everything else has been a "police action." They criticize inconsistent intel about Iran's nuclear capabilities and express disillusionment with Trump. 00:30:00 - Prepping for War and Media Manipulation Reports of military movement and air refueling deployments spark concerns of war escalation. Speculation rises over Israel targeting Iran's outdated aircraft and oil fields. They connect geopolitical instability to oil prices and economic manipulation. 00:40:00 - Civilizational Collapse and Population Decline A hypothetical: if no one could have children, civilization would collapse within decades. The discussion dives into dystopian timelines, nuclear conflict fallout, and how infrastructure would crumble without younger generations. 00:50:00 - MKUltra and CIA Mind-Controlled Animals The crew revisits the CIA's MKUltra program and experiments with using animals as mind-controlled assassins. This bizarre yet historically documented topic segues into military-tech rabbit holes and ethical absurdities. 01:00:00 - Secret Military Bases and Moon Soldiers A wild clip emerges of a U.S. Army official casually mentioning "soldier astronauts on the moon." The team speculates on secret military space programs and the plausibility of militarized lunar bases. 01:10:00 - Ultra-Terrestrials and Cyclical Civilizations Discussion shifts to the “ultra-terrestrial” theory—suggesting ancient advanced civilizations may have existed before humanity. They consider nuclear traces, lost technology, and elite underground survivors as part of a repeating civilizational loop. 01:20:00 - Flight Scam and Bigfoot Sightings A man impersonates a flight attendant to fly 120 times for free. Then it's back to Bigfoot: Michigan sightings prompt a cannabis dispensary to offer discounts for photo evidence. They play a custom Bigfoot song and enjoy the folklore. 01:30:00 - Bear Attack Thwarted with Walker and Rice Krispies A heroic nurse uses a walker and Rice Krispies to fend off a bear at a Pennsylvania nursing home. The hosts praise her bravery and riff on the absurdity of the situation while wrapping up with bear sightings in Ohio. 01:40:00 - Media Manipulation and Dragon Believers The hosts criticize media outlets for changing headlines without acknowledgment after stories gain traction—particularly citing Joe Rogan's influence. A humorous detour emerges debating whether Rogan believes in dragons, with discussions on dragon mythology and its cultural resonance. 01:50:00 - Mosh Pit Mayhem and Accidental Emergency Alerts Smartwatches and fitness devices accidentally triggered emergency alerts during a UK music festival mosh pit, mistaking the chaos for real injuries. Authorities asked attendees to disable alerts or switch to airplane mode to avoid flooding emergency lines.   Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Phone: 614-388-9109 ► Skype: ourbigdumbmouth ► Website: http://obdmpod.com ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/obdmpod ► Full Videos at Odysee: https://odysee.com/@obdm:0 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/obdmpod ► Instagram: obdmpod ► Email: ourbigdumbmouth at gmail ► RSS: http://ourbigdumbmouth.libsyn.com/rss ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-big-dumb-mouth/id261189509?mt=2  

In Episode 6 of the Shipwreck Show, Shipwreck tackles the wildfire of propaganda burning across social media, from left-leaning influencers pushing ICE panic to conservative talking heads parroting the same pre-approved scripts. With characteristic sass, she breaks down how paid influence campaigns manipulate emotions through staged videos, fake audio, and strategic outrage. From TikTok psyops and media hypocrisy to viral misinformation about ICE raids, Shipwreck calls out both sides for their part in narrative warfare. But it's not all fire and fury, this episode takes a deep turn into the emotional exhaustion of political deception and the spiritual spiral of nihilism. Shipwreck shares a powerful segment on purpose, motherhood, and finding meaning when nothing seems real. Featuring viral clips, Bigfoot stickers, a Sasquatch swear jar, and raw reflections on identity and faith, this episode is equal parts therapy, truth bomb, and comic relief.

Send us a textToday, we've got another edition of The Two Kens with my good friend and fellow podcaster, Ken Fong. This time, we dive into the bizarre breakup between Donald Trump and Elon Musk — a political feud that feels like your parents fighting in public. No one's enjoying it, but everyone's watching. Trump, the undisputed Master of Distraction, still knows how to hijack the media cycle like nobody else. But Musk? He's backing down, but MAGA world is squirming.We'll also take a hard look at an aging Democratic Party, struggling to reach a younger generation. Legends like Bernie Sanders and the young and compelling AOC, efforts are underway to counter-balance the callous, authoritarian strategies of this administration. And then there's David Hogg, now a DNC vice chair, who came out of the Parkland tragedy and has become a bold voice for Gen Z.We'll unpack L.A.'s recent ICE and National Guard deployment, Mayor Karen Bass's leadership, and how Gavin Newsom is responding to Trump's provocations — including that military birthday bash set for June 14.I give a shoutout to my nephew Otto Kemp, who just jumped from the Triple A Iron Pigs to the big show - on the starting roster with the Philadelphia Phillies.Darcy and Dane McKenzie: A Minnesota military family speaks out: No troops to quell protestsSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

In today's episode, we examine the intensifying public rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The catalyst? Trump's recently proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which notably removes federal subsidies that have historically benefited Musk's ventures. Elon has not remained silent, and tensions escalated further when he retaliated by implying that Trump is listed among Jeffrey Epstein's known associates, suggesting this as the reason the full client list remains sealed.Major accusation.Is this an authentic ideological clash, or a calculated distraction? What are the political implications, and who truly benefits from this spectacle? Let's dissect the rhetoric, analyze the deeper motives, and apply biblical clarity in the midst of all of the chaos.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOopJ1q_VkwFOO-Q2RCLoc1uzsHwAP4yh-_ZFG-r8_S9idICTj6nR

What happens when data knows us better than we know ourselves? In this raw and riveting conversation, John Vervaeke and Christopher Mastropietro sit down with Andy Russell — a former architect of data-driven persuasion — to expose how AI, behavioral profiling, and social media algorithms can hijack human desire, threaten our agency, and reshape our civilization. But there's hope: what if the same power that manipulates us can be used to heal us? This episode lays bare the disturbing origins of persuasion tech, how it was used in politics and commerce, and what it will mean when AI takes the driver's seat. Andy shares his personal reckoning, his brush with death, and how he's dedicating the rest of his life to restoring dignity and meaning to the human experience — with spiritual urgency. Andy Russell is a serial entrepreneur and former insider in data and media technology. After helping build some of the very tools that now shape persuasion online, he experienced a profound moral and existential crisis. He now advocates for radical transparency, decentralized AI, and human-centered design as a pathway toward societal healing. Christopher Mastropietro is a philosophical writer who is fascinated by dialogue, symbols, and the concept of self. He actively contributes to the Vervaeke Foundation. Sundae Labs aims to build tools and systems that foster a healthier relationship between humanity and technology.   Notes: (0:00) Introduction to the Series (1:00) Andy Russell's Journey — From Data Pioneer to Whistleblower (4:00) The Origin of Data-Driven Persuasion Tech (6:30) Persuasion and Political Weaponization — The 2016 Turning Point (9:45) How Data and Emotion Drive Modern Media Campaigns (13:30) “Turning Humans into Puppets”: Behavioral Influence at Scale (15:30) Personal Collapse — Andy's Reckoning with His Role (18:00) Between Frodo and Boromir: Can Anyone Wield the Ring?

After Canada's shocking Conservative defeat, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with The Rogue Lawyer, Phillip Millar to dissect what went wrong, who's to blame, and how to fix our cultural crisis. They kick things off by unpacking the election results - how a lead slipped away, why young people seem so checked out, and what it says about where Canada's headed. They also talk about how our military's falling apart, why young men are lost, and how people like Andrew Tate are filling the gap left by weak leadership and even weaker culture. Lastly, they dig into the safe supply drug programs, the rise of fentanyl in small towns, and the digital distractions that keep everyone arguing about nonsense while the country burns.

00:00:00 – Joe Returns and Anti-Dog Climate Push Joe is back from vacation and reflects on a noisy Houston trip. The crew dives into a report claiming that pet dogs are a climate threat due to their emissions and impact on wildlife. The show debates the logic and absurdity of this claim, humorously defending dog ownership. 00:10:00 – Poop Theory and Dog Attack Prevention Discussion deepens around dog waste, the logistics of picking it up, and the environmental footprint of dog food. A bizarre story emerges about a man stopping a dog attack by inserting his finger into the dog's backside — sparking disbelief and crude jokes. 00:20:00 – Dog Park Chaos and Tech Illiteracy Study A second video shows more dog park drama. The team transitions to a new study that links lack of computer skills to lower intelligence rather than lack of training, sparking commentary on aging, tech literacy, and whether some people are just beyond help. 00:30:00 – Helicopter Marshmallow Drops and Sperm Racing A Michigan Easter event drops marshmallows from a helicopter, but kids aren't allowed to eat them — only trade them for prizes. The episode then dives into the bizarre concept of “sperm racing,” a real event in LA involving university students, sperm samples, leaderboards, and betting. 00:40:00 – Sperm Racing Gets Real and Tucker's Turn The logistics of sperm races continue, and the absurdity of the event is explored. Then the focus shifts to Tucker Carlson's recent shift from establishment war hawk to 9/11 skeptic, showing how drastically public figures can evolve over time. 00:50:00 – AI Trading Grifts and Diaper Challenges The team critiques a fake AI influencer claiming stock market success. They mock TikTok trends where adults participate in diaper-wearing challenges. A comedian's bit about aging and avoiding loud places sparks agreement and stories from the hosts. 01:00:00 – Triggered Over MAGA Hats and Media Bias A woman loses it over someone wearing a MAGA hat at a restaurant. The hosts examine extreme emotional reactions and discuss how mainstream media selectively crafts sympathetic narratives depending on politics. 01:10:00 – Deported “Maryland Father” vs. MS-13 Reality The show unpacks the media story about a deported "Maryland father" that glosses over his gang ties and illegal entry. Audio clips show the political spin versus actual legal records, including the MS-13 affiliation and multiple arrests. 01:20:00 – Narrative Control and Listener Abduction Stories More analysis of the deportation case and the twisted logic used to defend gang-affiliated individuals. Listeners call in, including one sharing a fragmented, emotional story of alien abduction, missing time, and strange childhood encounters. 01:30:00 – Abduction Memories and Strange News Wrap-Up Another caller recounts being paralyzed and encountering a being in his room as a child. The segment ends with a lighthearted news story about Trump-themed toilet brushes trending in China as satire amid trade tensions. 01:40:00 – Time Manipulation & Temporal Disorientation Discussion turns to oddities around time manipulation and perception — stories involving waking up disoriented, backward bedding, strange memory gaps, and speculation about reality manipulation or missing time. Alien abduction themes are revisited, tying into earlier calls. 01:50:00 – Toddler Arguments and Diaper Logic The show humorously shifts gears into absurd conversations toddlers have — like bargaining over diapers, making "challenges" out of wearing them, and the surreal logic toddlers use. The hosts riff on how it feels like arguing with a drunk tiny person.   Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Phone: 614-388-9109 ► Skype: ourbigdumbmouth ► Website: http://obdmpod.com ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/obdmpod ► Full Videos at Odysee: https://odysee.com/@obdm:0 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/obdmpod ► Instagram: obdmpod ► Email: ourbigdumbmouth at gmail ► RSS: http://ourbigdumbmouth.libsyn.com/rss ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-big-dumb-mouth/id261189509?mt=2  

Dr. Robert Malone addresses the recent measles outbreak in Texas, linking it to rising vaccine skepticism fueled by governmental overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic. He clarifies media misconceptions about deaths attributed to measles and critiques the narratives shaping public perception of vaccine safety. Malone discusses the technology behind the MMR vaccine, potential issues with live attenuated viruses, and the stifling effect of pharmaceutical industry practices on innovation. He also addresses the contentious link between vaccines and autism rates, advocating for informed consent and open dialogue. The conversation underscores the need for nuanced discourse in navigating public health challenges. Recorded 11.04.25 Connect with Dr Malone.....

In a tense moment of market volatility, legacy media and institutional forces attempted to incite panic among middle-class investors, echoing doomsday predictions of a “Black Monday.” But with the decentralization of media and rise of platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the narrative failed to take hold. The segment explores how free speech, independent voices, and resistance to media manipulation prevented a sell-off, reflecting a broader shift in power from elites to everyday Americans—particularly Main Street investors aligned with populist politics.

The Congo is four times larger than France, it's bigger than India, it's bigger than Texas, Alaska, California & Montana combined - the equator runs right through it's middle and makes it the second largest rainforest on the globe - it's impossibly rich in resources, and desperately poor in economics. In those 13 years of private ownership, Leopold oversaw potentially one of the most brutal regimes of extraction the world has ever known. The population was estimated to have halved in those 13 years, more than 10 million deaths. It was an exploit in mass slavery, mass death, bodily mutilation and mass extraction. Ivory and wild rubber were in high demand, and so under the guise of media manipulation and PR mastery, Leopold convinced the world that these goods were in fact being traded with, rather than extracted from, the Congo. The horror, however, could only be concealed for so long. A fella by the name of Ed Morell who worked for a shipping company in Liverpool noticed the bounty of ivory and rubber arriving from the Congo, with only men and arms making the journey back. His suspicion grew, he found accounts from missionaries and others who had been, and mounted a campaign to undermine the constant wall of propaganda Leopold had financed.In 1908, the Belgium state purchased the Congo off Leopold… where the country remained a colony of Belgium until 1960. And for a myriad of reasons, for which we address in the podcast, the Congo today is still on the back foot. Kinshasa, the capital city already has a bigger population than Paris, and is projected to be as much as 40,000,000 by 2050. The Congo today is among the most resource rich nations on earth, but among the least developed. It still attracts the same predation for extraction as it ever has, although all together less forceful and less violentThe man I speak with on the podcast today wrote the definitive history of this period. His name is Adam Hochschild, he's an author, journalist and historian and wrote in 1998, 'King Leopold's Ghost'. 00:00 Congo's Dark History & Adam Hochschild03:03 Leopold's Brutal Regime09:02 Modern Parallels of Exploitation12:11 The Unique Case of King Leopold14:58 The Mechanics of Control & Media Manipulation20:45 Campaigning Against Atrocities: The Legacy of Morrell34:22 Colonialism and Forced Labor: The Belgian Congo36:16 The Rubber Boom and Its Consequences38:09 Criticism Of The Book & Congolese Resistance42:57 Nationalism and Colonialism: Morel's Perspective44:48 The Impact of Colonialism on Modern Nations47:17 Geography and Development: The Congo's Challenges49:51 Natural Resources and Corruption52:27 The Future of the Congo: A Grim Outlook57:22 Serendipity(There was an technical difficulty right at the end of the conversation, which is why it cuts off) Consider leaving a review on whichever platform you're listening on!

The conversation covers a range of topics including the implications of a potential trade war, national security concerns related to supply chains, public health issues and future pandemics, recent legislation affecting parental rights, human trafficking and immigration policies, media manipulation in politics, and an analysis of economic impacts and tariff debates.

In this episode of the General Knowledge Podcast, hosts General Maddox and Ethan Nash delve into recent political and media events in Australia, highlighting concerns about free speech, human rights, and government overreach. They discuss the shift to using the Brave browser for better communication and privacy, emphasizing the importance of independent platforms in an era of increasing digital surveillance. The conversation also touches on developments at TOTT News, where Ethan has been actively covering issues that mainstream outlets avoid. A portion of the episode is dedicated to Ethan's recent interview with Pete Evans, a controversial figure who has re-emerged in the public eye. They reflect on how their past discussions were dominated by COVID-related uncertainties, whereas now, Evans shares insights on broader topics such as personal sovereignty, skepticism of political figures like Trump and Musk, and his new book with RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense. The hosts note how mainstream media often distorts figures like Evans, portraying them in extreme ways while ignoring their nuanced viewpoints. The episode also critiques media manipulation and orchestrated narratives, particularly surrounding new hate speech laws. The hosts argue that many of these policies aim to preemptively criminalize dissent rather than genuinely protect marginalized groups. They reference staged media events and shifts in political allegiances, observing how public perception is often shaped by carefully controlled messaging. The rise of surveillance and “pre-crime” tactics, where individuals can be flagged for opinions rather than actions, is identified as a worrying trend in modern governance. The discussion then pivots to the Australian Human Rights Commission's recent report, which criticizes the government's handling of COVID-19. Ethan and General Maddox highlight how draconian restrictions violated fundamental rights, with citizens unable to visit loved ones or move freely. They question why institutions like the Human Rights Commission remained silent during the crisis but are now releasing reports acknowledging past mistakes. This leads to broader concerns about whether such reports will result in meaningful policy changes or simply serve as retrospective damage control. Closing out the episode, the hosts encourage listeners to stay informed, challenge mainstream narratives, and support independent media. They express concern about the road to 2030, noting increasing government control over digital spaces, financial systems, and personal freedoms. Despite the challenges, they remain committed to providing alternative perspectives and exposing agendas that often go unnoticed by the general public.

The long-awaited JFK files have finally been released, and one of the most revealing details isn't what's in them—but what the CIA wanted to keep hidden. Among the redactions in the report, one stands out: “The Israeli Intelligence Service.” Why was this information deemed too sensitive for public eyes, even after all these years? In this episode, I break down my initial reaction to the files, what this redaction could mean, and how it fits into the bigger picture of JFK's assassination, and American politics in general.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmIkS3X8ivoZzZosZdSRJueTZ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1um-BhDtARIsABjU5x6X9JVI5Dihvk6wiS1l5Ra9sToZWRHjj-F0vy3owqCssQ1Bpb0eGaQaAsF1EALw_wcB

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop speaks with Dimetri Kofinas, host of Hidden Forces, about the transition from an "age of answers" to an "age of questions." They explore the implications of AI and large language models on human cognition, the role of narrative in shaping society, and the destabilizing effects of trauma on belief systems. The conversation touches on media manipulation, the intersection of technology and consciousness, and the existential dilemmas posed by transhumanism.

Dimetri Kofinas and Stewart Alsop discuss how society is moving away from a model where authority figures and institutions provide definitive answers and toward one where individuals must critically engage with uncertainty. This transition is both exciting and destabilizing, as it forces us to rethink long-held assumptions and develop new ways of making sense of the world.AI is revealing the limits of human uniqueness. Large language models (LLMs) can replicate much of what we consider intellectual labor, from conversation to knowledge retrieval, forcing us to ask: What remains distinctly human? The discussion suggests that while AI can mimic thought patterns and compress vast amounts of information, it lacks the capacity for true embodied experience, creative insight, and personal revelation—qualities that define human consciousness.Narrative control is a fundamental mechanism of power. Whether through media, social networks, or propaganda, the ability to shape narratives determines what people believe to be true. The conversation highlights how past and present authorities—from Edward Bernays' early propaganda techniques to modern AI-driven social media algorithms—have leveraged this power to direct public perception and behavior, often with unforeseen consequences.Trauma is a tool for reshaping belief systems. Societal upheavals, such as 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID-19, create psychological fractures that leave people vulnerable to radical shifts in worldview. In moments of crisis, individuals seek order, making them more susceptible to new ideologies—whether grounded in reality or driven by manipulation. This dynamic plays a key role in how misinformation and conspiracy theories gain traction.The free market alone cannot regulate the modern information ecosystem. While libertarian ideals advocate for minimal intervention, Kofinas argues that the chaotic nature of unregulated information systems—especially social media—leads to dangerous feedback loops that amplify division and disinformation. He suggests that democratic institutions must play a role in establishing transparency and oversight to prevent unchecked algorithmic manipulation.Transhumanism is both a technological pursuit and a philosophical problem. The belief that human consciousness can be uploaded or replicated through technology is based on a materialist assumption that denies the deeper mystery of subjective experience. The discussion critiques the arrogance of those who claim we can fully map and transfer human identity onto machines, highlighting the philosophical and ethical dilemmas this raises.The struggle between centralization and decentralization is accelerating. The digital age is simultaneously fragmenting traditional institutions while creating new centers of power. AI, geopolitics, and financial systems are all being reshaped by this tension. The conversation explores how Argentina's libertarian experiment under Javier Milei exemplifies this dynamic, raising questions about whether decentralization can work without strong institutional foundations or whether chaos inevitably leads back to authoritarianism.

The discussion shifts to the mysterious drones spotted over New Jersey. Reports claim the drones were FAA-authorized, but Biden's administration remained vague.

A Deep Dive into Self-Aware Machines The hosts push DeepSeek further, asking about its ability to experience emotions and memory.

They highlight how border encounters have dropped significantly since Trump resumed strict policies. 01:10:00 – The Elon Musk “Nazi Salute” Outrage: Media Manipulation at Work The media pushes a misleading clip of Musk allegedly doing a Nazi salute. The hosts expose how the footage was selectively edited to fuel outrage.

The hosts mock this as modern plantation logic, exposing the left's reliance on cheap labor. Bernie Sanders' past opposition to open borders is revisited, showing how he once warned about wage suppression. 01:30:00 – Virtue Signaling Liberals: Supporting Immigration by Buying Tacos? A TikTok influencer claims he only eats at immigrant-owned businesses to fight racism. The hosts mock the performative nature of social justice activism. They highlight how elite liberals love virtue signaling without actual sacrifice. 01:40:00 – Selena Gomez's Emotional Immigration Meltdown A viral clip of Selena Gomez crying over Trump's immigration policies is played.

We are without a shortage of sex scandals from Jeffrey Epstein to P. Diddy and, now implicated Jay-Z. But sex scandals from the highest echelons of entertainment, social elites, and political juggernauts are nothing new. In fact, Alexander Hamilton was once outed for having an affair with a married woman and Thomas Jefferson was proven to have been sleeping with his slave. Unfortunately, the trend continues with seemingly increasing high profile cases against these villains and their sexual improprieties. Today, I'm joined by investigative journalist, Nick Bryant to talk about his decades-long work against child sex-trafficking.
