Texans are often accused of an over-inflated sense of self, and they rarely make nuanced political gestures. The standoff over voting rights in Texas may end up offering proof the state can influence policies beyond its own borders. The latest tactic by Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives to protect the voting rights of their constituents by leaving the state to stop restrictive legislation will either be a catalyst for an historic national law or set up a devastating defeat for supporters of expanded voting right. As historian Timothy Snyder, philosopher Jason Stanley and former Republican insider Mike Lofgren have also warned, the U.S. is teetering at the edge of fascism. With "It Can Happen Here," Hinton brings his knowledge and experience to bear on a dynamic history of the Trump administration — taking his readers inside his classroom, to white power rallies and to his own testimony at the Chea trial. One of the book's strengths is its accessibility. Written with literary style rather than in dry academic prose, it makes for fascinating, albeit deeply disturbing, reading --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nodekorum/support

Aired Tuesday, 11 September 2018, 5:00 PM ESTPolitical Prisoner! – Would YOU Go to Prison for Your Beliefs?An Interview with Johnny Light aka Johnny Liberty, One-Time Leader of the Sovereignty Movement“Here’s an irony supplement to munch on — we need a police state to protect our freedom.” — Swami BeyondanandaOver the past couple of years, we’ve been hearing a lot about the “deep state”, and a “secret government” that really runs things beneath the polarizing puppet show we watch on the news.On one end of the spectrum, we have authors like Mike Lofgren who acknowledge the interlocking directorate between corporations, the military industrial complex, the intelligence community, and government that has rendered the will of the people largely irrelevant.On the other — and particularly since the advent of Trumpism — we have the “deep state” as the secret government that will enslave us through the “new world order”. There are even people I know who voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries, and then for Donald Trump in the election because they fervently believed he was our last hope in liberating us from this “deep state.”So, what’s true? Who’s right? Is there a deep state — and is it a threat to you and me, and to our freedom?This week on Wiki Politiki, we interview Johnny Light aka Johnny Liberty, a one-time leader of the Sovereignty movement who spent two years in prison and three more on probation because his ideas and work ran afoul of the federal government.Author of the bestseller “Global Sovereign’s Handbook”, Johnny Liberty is an innovative systems thinker, researcher, educator and speaker on individual sovereignty, freedom and liberty as well as history, law, economics, financial and business structures, and the nature of the global power structure. He has presented over 250 workshops and is known for his “Granada Forum” and Vision for a New America series of videos on YouTube.You’ll hear for yourself his complete story of being hounded, isolated and finally imprisoned by the Federal Government, and of the plea bargain process that insures that justice is rarely done. And you’ll get to decide for yourself whether the punishment fit the crime.Meanwhile, you will hear a compelling story of a creative pioneer looking to make a positive difference in the world, the corruption and hypocrisy he discovered, his lessons learned, and how he has reassembled a life of creativity and service.Johnny’s latest work can be found here: https://www.heavenonearthretreat.com/Please join us this Tuesday, September 3rd at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. : http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/How you can support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In The “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

Today, Michael Covel interviews Mike Lofgren. Mike’s new book is titled, “The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government.” We are in a world where everyone thinks their vote matters and that the next President will fix all of America’s problems. Michael starts the podcast off reading an excerpt from Lofgren’s new book. The two dig into expectations that people had for George W. Bush. As he failed, the people then voted in Barack Obama. Obama failed to meet people’s expectations as well. Lofgren explains what he describes as a “deep state” phenomenon. Next, Covel and Lofgren dig into: “Does our vote really matter?” Lofgren says that whoever is elected President matters on the margin. The general vector of who gets what, what the general distribution of income is, and what our general foreign policy is, is going to be pretty much the same no matter who is elected. However, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are so far out of the box that they may change those norms because of how out of distribution the system has become. The public knows something is wrong. Trump and Sanders have, at the very least, shaken up the political structure regardless of if they win the election or not. Lofgren goes into economics and military next. He doesn’t look at economics and military as separate entities. He sees all arms of government as intricately intertwined. When you see a change in the economics of the country, you can see just as large of a shift in the military and vice versa. Michael and Lofgren also discuss Dick Fuld and the Lehman Brother collapse. Michael moves on to ask, “Why aren’t their more whistle blowers coming out of the government?” Lofgren says that it is largely because people don’t want to go to prison. More people are being charged with espionage in America than within any other government. Michael and Lofgren continue to dig into depth about politics, corruption, and Wall Street for the rest of the podcast. Michael ends asking Lofgren, “Is there really anything on the horizon where this deep state entrenchment goes away?” In this episode of Trend Following Radio: The deep state phenomenon Military industrial complex Vietnam War National debt Negative interest rates Capitalism in communist countries Does your vote matter?
