Podcasts about Orwellian

Mainstream legacy media is dead. It committed suicide years ago when it was decided that all stories must adhere to a political narrative. Regardless of what you may think of the Rev. Jessie Jackson, something he once said is true. A half truth is a whole lie. Today's media has descended into nothing but lies, propaganda, and moral depravity. Our media is Orwellian. Our media is evil. Our media is perverted beyond redemption. Now, do you believe in this ministry? If you do, you can keep us on the air as a radio program and podcast by visiting our website.

In this episode, I share news from my recent trip to the UK, noticing how it seems to have reached the epic proportions of a Black Mirror episode; from the absurd TV licensing program to the new Digital ID Brit cards that will track your behavior. I also explore how the UK may be serving as a testing ground for new levels of behavioral surveillance that could eventually spread globally. I dive into California's $900 “smart” license plates that track your every move, centralized government digital currencies, and my predictions for the next 20 years of Orwellian surveillance.Support the show on Patreon!In this week's episode:The UK's TV licensing system: Legal extortion through private contractorsThe Reviver R-plate: $900 to track yourself in California and ArizonaBrit Cards: UK's new “voluntary” Digital ID systemThe Bank of England's digital pound and programmable moneyHistorical patterns of control: From land ownership to neural interfacesWhy the UK is the blueprint for global surveillance rolloutPredictions for the next 20-50 years of biosurveillanceMatrix Community RoomsMatrix Community Space - https://matrix.to/#/#psysecure:matrix.orgIndividual Room Links:https://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-intro:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-podcast:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-general:matrix.orgShow Links:PsySecure ODSF Framework - https://odsf.psysecure.comLCD License Plate (not privacy friendly!) - https://reviver.com/rplate/Black Mirror S03E01 "Nosedive" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5497778/Bank of England's Digital Pound - https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/the-digital-poundBrit Card Digital ID System - https://www.labourtogether.uk/all-reports/britcardTV Licensing Detector Ads (1980s-90s): The Detector Van - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NmdUcmLFkw"We know exactly where he is" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF3-S2sCnb8Keep One Eye Open - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfOmR7gAekMore Powerful Dector Vans! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q9CsRRhWQI“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.”- Mustapha Mond (Brave New World ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Best known for his books Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell earned a reputation as chronicler and prophet of modern society. Plagued by illness, he exposed poverty and injustice, satirised the powerful, and took up arms against fascism. Today, his name has become an adjective - ‘Orwellian' - to express fears about totalitarian control. So, what turned this one-time servant of the British Empire into a critic of poverty and oppression? How did he almost lose his life before he'd written his most enduring works? And did this man of the left become a hero to those on the right? This is a Short History Of George Orwell.  A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Nathan Waddell, Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature at the University of Birmingham, and author of ‘A Bright Cold Day: The Wonder of George Orwell'.  Written by Edward White | Produced by Kate Simants | Assistant Producer: Nicole Edmunds | Production Assistant: Chris McDonald | Exec produced by Katrina Hughes | Sound supervisor: Tom Pink | Sound design by Oliver Sanders | Assembly edit by Dorry Macaulay, Rob Plummer | Compositions by Oliver Baines, Dorry Macaulay, Tom Pink | Mix & mastering: Cody Reynolds-Shaw | Fact check by Sean Coleman Get every episode of Short History Of... a week early with Noiser+.

I am very nervous about publishing this episode, because it could bring me unwanted attention. But things have changed to the point where I no longer feel that simply doing my best to be decent will protect me. Free speech is precious, and it's a principle we should all stand up for, even when it … Continue reading "202 – Was Graham Linehan's Arrest “Kafkaesque” and “Orwellian”?"

Britain has seen an influx of illegal immigrants from the Islamic Middle East, often without proper background checks. Scandals involving Pakistani immigrants grooming young girls went largely ignored by authorities due to fears of political backlash. Ordinary citizens face harassment for expressing patriotism, even as immigrant communities display cultural or political symbols freely.   Victor Davis Hanson explains that this crisis is part of a larger European problem, and how the social, demographic, and political pressures facing Britain and Europe threaten the stability of their nations on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “They've had a series of controversies and incidents and scandals in which Pakistani illegal immigrants have been grooming young British girls in the sex trades. And this was apparently known to authorities. But they felt that it was politically correct, in the age of DEI and woke, to seriously pursue any legal ramifications, until the public was outraged. “And this is in addition to the beginning of massive demonstrations, on the part of the British, Scottish, Irish, Welsh public, to perceived indifference from the United Kingdom Labour Party to the plight of their own citizens. In other words, they're censoring thought, dissent of British citizens, but not in the same manner they are of illegal aliens. And this translates into some very Orwellian and absurd incidents.”

Today we discuss the dust-up at the CDC, in which RFK Jr. fires the new director, after which other CDC officials resign, and eight former directors of the CDC pen a letter to the New York Times (as does Bernie Sanders) arguing that Kennedy is a hazard to our health. This follows a reveal from months ago that industry was collaborating to get rid of Kennedy. Also: What does Trump now think of Operation Warp Speed? How has industrialization affected our health? How are the words “vaccine” and “terrorist” being used in Orwellian ways? Is Kennedy a secret eugenicist, or is he—in fact—exactly the opposite? Finally: a new article on the harms and hazards of both SARS-CoV2 and the mRNA biologics said to counter the virus.*****Our sponsors:ARMRA: Colostrum is our first food, and can help restore your health and resilience as an adult.

Kilmar Abrego García, released from extrajudicial detention in El Salvador, now fights deportation to Uganda. Hundreds of the Venezuelans sent by the US to the Salvadoran prison gulag have now been returned to Venezuela in a prisoner swap. But El Salvador remains on the growing list of human rights offenders cultivated by the Trump regime as surrogate detention states. The Trump State Department's farcical "Human Rights Report" seeks to sanitize dictator Nayib Bukele's anti-crime police state. And adding to the Orwellian nature of the Trump-Bukele axis, the US Justice Department has dropped charges against MS-13 leaders who collaborated in the consolidation of the new Salvadoran dictatorship.

It's only been a quarter century, but IN FORMATION magazine is now back. Published by David Temkin with the tagline “Every Day, Computers are Making People Easier to Use”, IN FORMATION was originally designed in 1998 as the “Anti-Wired” - a glossily skeptical anti-tech publication for Silicon Valley insiders. And now, as more tech hysteria grips the Valley, IN FORMATION has - like the promise of AI itself - magically reappeared. This third issue, costing the Orwellian sum of $19.84, features contributions from former Google VPs, cryptography experts, and Silicon Valley veterans like Temkin who helped build the original internet. The San Francisco-based Temkin, now at PayPal after stints at Apple and Google, sees AI as another "step function change" in the way that computers are, indeed, making people easier to use. Just in the nick of time, in my not-so-humble opinion. Everyone should subscribe. 1. The Power Dynamic Has Flipped Temkin's tagline "Every Day, Computers are Making People Easier to Use" captures how technology's original promise to empower users has reversed. What began as making computers accessible has evolved into making humans predictable and manipulable—from requiring "computer literacy" to creating addictive, frictionless experiences.2. AI Follows Historical Tech Patterns Temkin sees AI as another "step function change" following personal computers, the internet, and smartphones. He expects AI will likely crash before achieving mainstream success, similar to the dot-com bubble. The hype cycles are familiar, but the stakes may be higher.3. Insider Critique Beats Outside Commentary Information differentiates itself by featuring people who built these technologies—former Google VPs, cryptography experts, Apple engineers—rather than external cultural critics. Their perspective comes from understanding how the technology actually works and evolves from the inside.4. Physical Media as Resistance The magazine's tactile nature (160 pages, 1.3 pounds, $19.84) represents deliberate resistance to digital consumption patterns. Like vinyl's resurgence, physical magazines offer a curated, composed reading experience that screens can't replicate.5. The Stakes Have Escalated While the 1990s tech promises seemed "simultaneously laughable and very threatening," Temkin notes we've moved from early warning signals to full realization of those threats. AI represents another inflection point where the technology could be genuinely beneficial or catastrophically destructive—and unlike nuclear weapons, everyone has immediate access to experiment with it.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In this urgent update, we break down the political firestorm as JD Vance and Donald Trump confront the UK and EU over digital privacy and censorship. We'll cover the forced withdrawal of the UK's demand for iPhone backdoors, the potential for unprecedented US sanctions and travel bans on foreign officials, and the escalating battle against what they call the "Orwellian" Online Safety Act and Digital Services Act. This episode dives into the real-world implications of these policies, the threat of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and the broader fight for free speech against global tech regulation.Support the showThanks for listening.

Trump and his people have used the summer months to up the despot game—sending armed troops into the streets, taking over the police in D.C., and promising to export the same tactics to even more blue cities. And the attempted deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda shows the lengths the administration will go for not submitting to its coercion. At the same time, Vance sounds downright Orwellian on the John Bolton matter, while the White House eyes other major corporations to extort. Plus, Wes Moore punches back, the injustice of the trans military ban, and the emerging signs of a broad Democratic coalition.

The PPI came in at 0.9% — more than four times higher than expected — underscoring that inflation is far from “transitory.” Yet betting markets still give a 90% chance of a September rate cut, with some calling for 50 basis points. Stocks, crypto, and gold are all at or near all-time highs: gold between $3,275–$3,400 and silver consolidating between $36-$38. Copper remains range-bound after Trump's tariff flip-flop, but deficits still loom. Both expect a packed fall conference season (Beaver Creek, Denver Gold Forum) with strong M&A potential. They also dig into tariffs — slamming the economic hit to U.S. companies — and praise the administration's $1 billion push for critical minerals, uranium, and rare earth recycling.Market Takes - The conversation turns to why September and October could be the most consequential months of Gerardo's career, thanks to multiple core exploration positions drilling right now. Hannan Metals and Kingsmen Resources are both advancing key programs, with results expected before or during conference season. Nick notes GDX and GDXJ breakouts mean juniors will be rewarded for good news. They also stress that in a bull market, management teams should release standout drill results quickly rather than sitting on them.Bizarro Banter - From Ghislaine Maxwell's work release to the National Guard in D.C., the hosts rail against America's two-tier justice system — where both elites and certain protected groups get passes while the middle class shoulders the rules and costs. The discussion ranges from failed presidential policies over decades to creeping government overreach, Orwellian parallels, and the risks of trading liberty for safety. The takeaway: own assets, think independently, and don't get trapped in partisan blinders.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

In Donald Trump's perverse ambition to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he is citing his supposed diplomatic victories in ending six conflicts: Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, Israel-Iran, India-Pakistan, Thailand-Cambodia and Egypt-Ethiopia. In Episode 292 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg examines each of these examples, and breaks down how claims to have won "peace" are either extremely overstated or (more often) total Orwellian jive. The implication that Russia-Ukraine will be next, as Putin escalates his aggression, puts a hideous crown on the irony.

It's Tuesday, August 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 1,500 Christians hiding in Somalia, Africa International Christian Concern reports that there are still at least 1,500 Christian believers hiding in Somalia, Africa. This country is the second most dangerous place on earth for Christians, according to the World Watch List.  Somali Christians are often killed, on the spot, when their faith is discovered – murdered either by Islamic militants or even their own family. Somalia is also the sixth poorest nation in Africa, and the highest percentage of Muslims of any nation in the world with 99.8% of the population identifying as Muslim. The only possible exception is the population on the island of Maldives, located 470 miles off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. Citizens there are required to nominally follow Sunni Islam. So, technically it is 100% Muslim.  However, a 2020 census revealed that 0.29% identify as Christian. Socialists lost in Bolivian election The socialists lost ground big time in Bolivia's election over the weekend.  The socialist candidate, Eduardo del Castillo, only took 3% of the vote. The more conservative candidate, Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, took 30.4%. And the more centrist candidate, Paz Pereira, captured 30.7% of the vote, at last count. A run-off will be in the works. Psalm 75:6-7 is clear that God is sovereign over the nations. “Exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south.  But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another.” Brazilian Supreme Court put Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest The Brazilian Supreme Court has resumed its campaign to silence Jair Bolsonaro, the previous president and conservative leader of the South American country. The court ordered his house arrest, after Bolsonaro addressed a crowd by cell phone.  His alleged crime was that he said, “Good afternoon, Copacabana. Good afternoon, my Brazil, a hug to everyone. This is for our freedom.” U.S. State Department Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau lambasted Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.  Landau called the court's actions “unbridled Orwellian impulses … dragging his Court and his country into the uncharted territory of a judicial dictatorship.” Putin wants 20% of Ukrainian territory under Russian control President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday at the White House, in hopes of working a peace deal in the Russian-Ukrainian war, reports The Epoch Times. Zelenskyy was quite reverential, unlike his last visit to the White House, where he angered Vice President Vance and President Trump alike. ZELENSKYY: “Thank you very much for your efforts, personal efforts to stop killings and stop this war. Thank you.” President Trump seemed hopeful, referencing a trilateral agreement between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. TRUMP: “If everything works out well today, we'll have a trilat. And I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the war when we do that.” At issue is Russian President Vladimir Putin's insistence that Russia retain 20% of Ukrainian territory now under Russian dominance. Trump has signaled on Truth Social that “Ukraine must be willing to lose some territory to Russia.” Also, Trump is pressing Ukraine to abandon any commitment to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO.  Last week, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would not be giving up land to the “occupier.”  Isaiah 2:3-4 reminds us “[The God of Jacob] will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” Newsmax ordered to pay $67 million to Dominion voting machines The conservative news organization, Newsmax, has agreed to pay Dominion voting machines $67 million for suggesting the company had rigged the 2020 election in which President Donald Trump lost to then Democrat candidate Joe Biden. Newsmax issued a statement complaining that the Delaware judge presiding over the case had not offered a fair trial. And Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy noted that “The actions taken against Newsmax, and earlier against Fox News, represent a direct attack on free speech and a free press.” He also encouraged all businesses to leave Delaware, a liberal bastion in the U.S.   Back in 2023, Fox News was saddled with a $790 million payout in a similar lawsuit.  The almost $1 billion was quite a take for Dominion, a company earning less than $100 million a year, per an estimate from CBS News.  Stock valuation through the roof Stock valuation is way, way high on the S&P stock index.  Price-to-earnings ratios are scraping 30 at 29.88, the highest since 2020 and the 2009 recession. The price-to-earnings ratio is the ratio of a company's share or stock price to the company's earnings per share.  Price-to-earnings ratios averaged about 15 for a hundred years, prior to the stock market craziness of the 2010s and 2020s. The NASDAQ 100 price-to-earnings ratio is 42, the highest in recorded history. Another index, known as the Buffett Indicator, comparing the valuation of the 5,000 largest companies to the Gross Domestic Product is 210.11%, the highest in history. Before the 2009 recession, the Buffett Indicator  hit a high of 109%, and before the dot-com crash, the indicator hit an unprecedented 135%.  270 million babies killed by in vitro fertilization And finally, Life Site News reports that 270 million babies have been aborted by the in vitro fertilization procedure since the idea was conceived in 1978. The calculation is based on the estimation of 16 embryonic children killed for every live child born.  About 17 million children have been produced by the IVF procedure. Those 270 million IVF abortions add to about 65 million legalized abortions since 1973, and millions more by the abortifacient intrauterine device or IUD, and other abortifacients.

Today, we're looking at President Trump's comments about how the U.S. tells both Canada and Mexico 'what to do' when it comes to border security. Plus, the U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada's Online News Act, criticizing the legislation for being an Orwellian censorship on press freedom. And finally, a new poll has found that older Canadians are hoping to see immigration levels lowered by the federal government.

When “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” we are living in an era of alternate facts. Mary and Andrew apply this Orwellian concept to what's happening this week, after President Trump cited section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the DC police force and send in the national guard to the nation's capital. They detail how the president was able to do this and why Congress will be the ultimate arbiter of this move. Then, they highlight some litigation befitting this theme, with Judge Breyer's trial starting this week on the use of the national guard in Los Angeles, and some decisions including not to unseal grand jury testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, plus an Appeals court blocking contempt proceedings in JGG. Last up, Andrew and Mary take a look at Judge Henderson's opinion in the OMB case and why it deserves more attention than it's received. Further reading: Here is President Trump's letter to Congress citing section 740, courtesy of the New York Times.And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the climate lockdowns in Canada in places like Nova Scotia where the government has banned people from going outside in the woods. This includes camping, fishing, driving, riding bikes and hiking. These mandates come in as wildfires hit several Canadian provinces. The mandates came out of nowhere on August 5th and are set to be in place until October 15th. It includes crown land as well as private property. One Canadian veteran named Jeff Evely was handed a $28,872.50 fine for disobeying the Orwellian order. It is the maximum possible fine. This shows that any show of disobedience in Canada is met with a harsh punishment. More reason for a larger number of people to stand up. Strength in numbers. Many viral videos are coming out of people walking in the wilderness with their children. This is just the beginning. The WEF announced in 2022 that their overall goal with lockdowns was to test compliance for the incoming 15 Minute City agenda. With restrictions coming in in New Brunswick that are similar to Nova Scotia as well as fire orders in Newfoundland as well as bans on kayaking in British Columbia, the tightening grip of the state is worsening. While more Canadians than ever before are waking up, Canada still remains one of the most compliant countries in the world. Canadians are told to snitch on their neighbours if they see them walking in the wilderness, even if it's their own property in rural communities. 81% of wildfires start from lightning. You can't ban lightning though. We've seen the results of 15 Minute Cities on the ground in places like Oxford, UK. We don't need to tell you that it's a nightmare you want to avoid. With further wildfires in California leading to emergency orders, in Manitoba, in Hawaii and elsewhere, the agenda will continue to play out as long as people are dependent on the state. As long as people wait for the state to solve the problems of the state. Individuals must be just that... individuals. Independent of mandated rule such as these climate lockdowns. Get prepared now. This isn't going away. It's being normalized and it's up to you to become more demoralized or more passionate about standing for your own individual liberty. Your choice.

Podcasts, Pedos, and Political Clowns: The Most Outlandish Libservative Episode YetBuckle up for an unfiltered episode of Libservative where Dan and Corey dive into absurdity from start to finish. Join Corey as he brags about winning the 'Drunken Olympics' while Dan snickers about beer pong strategy. The duo tackles big topics like Trump's tariffs on India and the weird political moves of Michigan's Alyssa Slotkin, all while throwing in some wild speculation about Colbert and Stern's show cancellations. The conversation takes a dark turn discussing the ethics of 'OnlyFans' and American voyeurism. Of course, they lighten the mood with the 'dildo epidemic' in the WNBA and a bizarre rant about conservative political strategies. Also, don't miss their take on 'Trump Accounts,' which might just be the most socialist thing the Don has ever done, plus the Orwellian healthcare tracking partnership with Palantir. The episode rounds out with some howling TikTok commentary and leaves you pondering our nation's love affair with authoritarianism. You've been warned: it's all politics, pedos, and plenty of laughs.00:00 Welcome to Libservative: The World's Smartest Podcast01:08 Corey's Drunken Olympics Victory03:07 Political Discussions: Trump's Tariffs and Alyssa Slotkin04:45 Media Critique: Colbert and Stern's Decline06:42 Disturbing Trends: Little Tay's OnlyFans13:04 WNBA's Dildo Epidemic22:00 Trump's India Tariffs and Global Trade30:08 Alyssa Slotkin's Podcast Tour36:38 Starting the Discussion36:44 Israel's Policies in Gaza37:41 Ethnic Cleansing Allegations38:34 Political Accountability40:09 Technical Difficulties and Commentary40:48 Congressional Hypocrisy44:46 Debating U.S. Foreign Aid49:16 Humanitarian Concerns51:39 Political Maneuvering01:05:45 Weaponizing Intelligence01:14:43 Trump Administration's Hypocrisy on Minority Rights01:15:44 American Love for Authoritarianism01:16:58 Debate on Trump's Federal Savings Program01:19:39 Controversy Over Social Security and Financial Literacy01:24:43 Orwellian Healthcare Surveillance01:44:38 Gen Z vs Millennials: Drinking Culture01:49:26 Conclusion and Sign-Off

SEASON 4 EPISODE 1: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Jobs Report will now be handled by the same guy who keeps score when Trump plays golf. But first, the unexplained move of Ghislaine Maxwell from near Alligator Alcatraz to Club Fed was just beginning to calm down when Trump detonated on Lenard McKelvey (political commentary name Charlamagne Tha God). All Charlamagne had done was to go on Fox News and claim to Lara Trump “I think that traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back. I think there’s a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren’t paying attention to… we have the opportunity to have, like, a huge reset.” Trump has never known when to leave bad enough alone, but this time he just hit the side of the hornets’ nest with his tie. Called him “racist sleazebag… low IQ individual… has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth… knows nothing about me… this dope.” So now millions of people who DIDN’T know an often conservative, Trump-accepting-if-not-supporting African American was describing a Republican Palace Coup AGAINST TRUMP OVER EPSTEIN… have THAT new Trumpsteen tendril to ponder. Let’s sort this out. Somebody had to change Maxwell’s status as a registered sex offender to get her transferred to an all-women, all-white collar criminals, minimum security facility. She might no longer BE a registered sex offender; that could be a free sample offered by Trump if she’ll lie for him. The move to the cushier camp could be ANOTHER free sample. Or to make it easier for her to suffer rapid unscheduled disassembly. Also there’s a Trump cover-up OF The Epstein Files, and a Trump cover-up OF HIS OWN NAME IN the Epstein Files, and a Conservative Coup Against Trump OVER The Epsteen files, and the unexplained cushy new home for Epstein’s co-rapist. Oh and the true Orwellian shooting of the statistical messenger. But - you'd forgotten, hadn't you - he's always done this. He did this most infamously as Covid started. B-Block (30:17) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's little left for Andrew Cuomo. Apparently that includes flat out making up a story that mayor-to-be-Zamdani has never had a job before. Ryan "Who Put That Porn On The TV Monitor In My Office During The State Education Department Executive Meeting" Walters of Oklahoma doubles down. And the Republicans sure know how to sell American cars: with a picture of a car made in Soviet Russia in 1970 being sold by a Trump that looks like he was made in 1870. C-Block (40:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The teachers of Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York are legendary. Nineteen of them there I graduated fifty years ago were still there the day I gave the Commencement Address thirty years ago. But now we may have lost the last of the greats, at least of that era. Gerry Murphy was the math teacher with empathy. He once recognized he had hit "the math wall" - he recognized I had. If he hadn't, I'd still be there failing that class for the 51st straight year.

On this episode, Charlie, Ted, and Rony are joined by longtime tech entrepreneur Greg Shove, who shares lessons from a career spanning seven startups and multiple pivots—including a missed opportunity to buy Amazon in 1996. Now CEO of Section, Shove has repositioned the company from an online business school to an enterprise AI transformation consultancy. He discusses the shift from pandemic-era digital learning to workforce upskilling for companies deploying large language models. The conversation covers AI's “cut and create” phases, the moral imperative to retrain displaced workers, and the risk of becoming an AI “passenger” rather than a “driver.” Shove warns of cognitive offloading and the commodification of knowledge work, suggesting that skilled trades may prove more resilient in the age of automation. The hosts reflect on AI's Orwellian dynamics and the widening education gap in America. Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

From the early life of Walt Disney to the dark psychological mechanisms that guide your every step in the park, this episode is a narrative descent into the tragedies, conspiracies, forgotten attractions, and lingering spirits that the Mouse would rather you ignore.You'll hear the gruesome details of confirmed deaths, the real ghost stories whispered by Cast Members, the attractions that were too disturbing to build, and the Orwellian surveillance infrastructure silently watching your every move. All woven together with California-native nostalgia and a cynical eye for the machinery of myth.It's not just about theme park history—it's about how we build dreams atop graves, and what happens when we try to trap magic in a place that can't stop remembering the dead.Enter the park.Exit at your own risk.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

It's been a busy six months for Donald Trump and his great big ugly surveillance state, and its Orwellian power continues to grow under the guise of "immigration and border control."

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Could this Orwellian system in China soon become a reality in the United States, with the advent of digital currency? The price tag attached to digital currency is costly. It opens the gate to complete surveillance and control. Every movement, every transaction, and every behavior will be noted.

“With only rare exceptions,” Norman Solomon writes, “US news media and members of Congress continue to dodge the reality of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, normalizing atrocities on a mass scale.” How did we end up in this Orwellian situation, where the reality of genocide is so thoroughly denied by pundits and politicians even as that genocide is unfolding in front of our eyes? How do we combat this level of inhumane violence and propaganda?

An eerie viral clip shows a delivery robot cruising past lifelike mannequins staged as human casualties on the streets of Los Angeles. Is this dystopian tech or just practical testing in a city grappling with crime and homelessness?In this video, we break down the context behind the so-called "Orwellian" footage, explore Serve Robotics' role, and ask: is this the future of urban life? Are we normalizing the unthinkable?

In this episode of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val dives headfirst into the Orwellian tactics of modern censorship and the emerging threats of AI-driven narrative control. He opens with commentary on Trump's viral “Epstein hoax” post and explores whether it's a strategic nudge to expose mainstream hypocrisy or a larger piece of psychological warfare. Frankie digs into Google's new “About This Image” tool, explaining how it fits into a broader campaign to delegitimize independent research, especially around subjects like biolabs, war crimes, and election interference. He compares these efforts to digital book burning, where tech giants erase context and reshape the past in real time. From secret Fauci emails about Wuhan labs to bombshell articles on war profiteering and suppressed medical data, the episode paints a clear picture: we're in an information war, and the battlefield is your perception. Frankie wraps with a passionate call to seek truth beyond curated headlines, reminding listeners that history is being rewritten by those who fear transparency most.

01:03:27 – 01:12:56Musk's Grok AI Sparks Outrage After Posting Hitler PraiseElon Musk's Grok chatbot praised Hitler, blamed flood deaths on anti-white racism, and later claimed trolls baited it. The incident sparked ADL criticism and renewed fears over unfiltered AI outputs influencing public perception. 01:12:58 – 01:25:54Trump Dismisses Epstein Questions as ‘Old News' While DOJ Denies Client List ExistsTrump deflects Epstein questions, while DOJ officials deny the existence of a client list—despite prior statements. Missing footage, lack of prosecutions, and widespread skepticism fuel ongoing accusations of a cover-up. 01:30:23 – 01:33:26Musk Accuses Bannon of Epstein Ties Amid FalloutElon Musk claims Steve Bannon appears in Epstein's files, intensifying MAGA infighting and amplifying calls for full transparency from political and media figures once seen as allies. 01:40:19 – 01:43:25Bongino's Story on Clinton Flight Suggests Epstein Had Foreign Intelligence TiesA Secret Service source claims Epstein's operations included foreign intelligence involvement and surveillance of powerful clients, adding weight to theories that intelligence agencies were running or protecting the trafficking ring. 01:57:27 – 02:01:55CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou Calls Epstein Memo ‘Total BS'Kiriakou, who exposed CIA torture, says the official narrative is fiction and asserts the intelligence community likely erased evidence. He insists Epstein's materials were too sensitive for only one man to control. 02:06:33 – 02:07:13 — MKUltra Document Release and Dan Bongino's Israel PrioritiesMKUltra documents were released in December 2024, prompting discussion about psychological operations and political figures. Dan Bongino's past statement prioritizing Israel is cited critically. 02:10:44 – 02:14:09 — Trump's Media Manipulation Strategy (Analysis of ‘Orange Lotus')An article by Tina Brown is discussed, analyzing Trump's two-week media strategy and his manipulation of news cycles to maintain public attention through constant drama. Examples include tariff policies, Ukraine, Musk conflicts, and attacks on political opponents. 02:21:01 – 02:23:33 — MKUltra, CIA Drug Use, and Cultural IndoctrinationClaims are made about CIA involvement in mass drug testing via MKUltra, including LSD distribution. The indoctrination of youth through public education is also discussed, tying it back to elite control structures like the Rockefeller Foundation. 02:24:03 – 02:24:52 — Netanyahu Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace PrizeThe nomination is ridiculed as Orwellian, with attention drawn to Trump simultaneously increasing military aid to Israel and Ukraine. This is portrayed as an example of “war is peace” doublethink. 02:38:05 – 02:43:16 — Critique of AI as ‘Anti-Intelligence'An article from Psychology Today explores the idea that AI is not intelligence but "anti-intelligence," undermining human thought by replacing critical friction with smooth, meaningless fluency. Education, cognition, and creativity are said to suffer. 02:54:13 – 02:59:15Charlie Kirk Panics Over Trump's Potential Amnesty ShiftCharlie Kirk expresses frustration at Trump's support for amnesty to address labor shortages, calling it a betrayal of prior promises.

01:03:27 – 01:12:56Musk's Grok AI Sparks Outrage After Posting Hitler PraiseElon Musk's Grok chatbot praised Hitler, blamed flood deaths on anti-white racism, and later claimed trolls baited it. The incident sparked ADL criticism and renewed fears over unfiltered AI outputs influencing public perception. 01:12:58 – 01:25:54Trump Dismisses Epstein Questions as ‘Old News' While DOJ Denies Client List ExistsTrump deflects Epstein questions, while DOJ officials deny the existence of a client list—despite prior statements. Missing footage, lack of prosecutions, and widespread skepticism fuel ongoing accusations of a cover-up. 01:30:23 – 01:33:26Musk Accuses Bannon of Epstein Ties Amid FalloutElon Musk claims Steve Bannon appears in Epstein's files, intensifying MAGA infighting and amplifying calls for full transparency from political and media figures once seen as allies. 01:40:19 – 01:43:25Bongino's Story on Clinton Flight Suggests Epstein Had Foreign Intelligence TiesA Secret Service source claims Epstein's operations included foreign intelligence involvement and surveillance of powerful clients, adding weight to theories that intelligence agencies were running or protecting the trafficking ring. 01:57:27 – 02:01:55CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou Calls Epstein Memo ‘Total BS'Kiriakou, who exposed CIA torture, says the official narrative is fiction and asserts the intelligence community likely erased evidence. He insists Epstein's materials were too sensitive for only one man to control. 02:06:33 – 02:07:13 — MKUltra Document Release and Dan Bongino's Israel PrioritiesMKUltra documents were released in December 2024, prompting discussion about psychological operations and political figures. Dan Bongino's past statement prioritizing Israel is cited critically. 02:10:44 – 02:14:09 — Trump's Media Manipulation Strategy (Analysis of ‘Orange Lotus')An article by Tina Brown is discussed, analyzing Trump's two-week media strategy and his manipulation of news cycles to maintain public attention through constant drama. Examples include tariff policies, Ukraine, Musk conflicts, and attacks on political opponents. 02:21:01 – 02:23:33 — MKUltra, CIA Drug Use, and Cultural IndoctrinationClaims are made about CIA involvement in mass drug testing via MKUltra, including LSD distribution. The indoctrination of youth through public education is also discussed, tying it back to elite control structures like the Rockefeller Foundation. 02:24:03 – 02:24:52 — Netanyahu Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace PrizeThe nomination is ridiculed as Orwellian, with attention drawn to Trump simultaneously increasing military aid to Israel and Ukraine. This is portrayed as an example of “war is peace” doublethink. 02:38:05 – 02:43:16 — Critique of AI as ‘Anti-Intelligence'An article from Psychology Today explores the idea that AI is not intelligence but "anti-intelligence," undermining human thought by replacing critical friction with smooth, meaningless fluency. Education, cognition, and creativity are said to suffer. 02:54:13 – 02:59:15Charlie Kirk Panics Over Trump's Potential Amnesty ShiftCharlie Kirk expresses frustration at Trump's support for amnesty to address labor shortages, calling it a betrayal of prior promises. He argues it would fracture the conservative base and repeat Reagan-era failures. 03:22:08 – 03:24:09Musk's America Party Pledges to Release Epstein FilesElon Musk launches the America Party with promises to release the Epstein files.

We’re in the Orwellian aftermath of what President Trump has called his 12-day war in the Middle East. It’s over, he proclaimed on Monday. “Congratulations world,” he said on his Truth Social site, “it’s time ... The post Trump at War appeared first on Open Source with Christopher Lydon.

Riot season in LA? Or just another media fear campaign? In this brutally honest breakdown, we expose how the LA protests and ICE raids are being manipulated by both mainstream and alternative media to stoke fear, division, and justify an Orwellian surveillance future. From exaggerated riot footage to biometric tracking and Palantir's billion-dollar government contracts, it's clear: the surveillance state isn't coming—it's already here.

In tonight’s podcast, we discuss a new report indicating that President Trump appears to be building an unprecedented spy machine that could track Americans by funding and partnering with a company called Palantir. Meanwhile, Bitcoin gains more traction among MAGA, and many are asking the same question regarding the promise of exposing the “Deep State.” […]

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Alarmingly, with Governor Hochul as the head of state, the attack on the right to bear arms continues to barrel forward.

First, Ralph welcomes Washington Post tech journalist Faiz Siddiqui to discuss his new book "Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk." Then, our resident legal expert Bruce Fein stops by to explain how Elon Musk and DOGE are breaking the law. Finally, David picks up our interview with Ralph about Ralph's new book "Civic Self-Respect."Faiz Siddiqui is a technology journalist who writes for the Washington Post and has covered companies such as Tesla, Uber, and Twitter (now X) for the Business Desk. His reporting has focused on transportation, social media and government transformation, among other issues. He is the author of Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk (excerpted here).Over and over throughout this book, there's this recurring theme of victimhood, or at least Elon feeling like his back is against the wall. And why? For what? He and his fans felt they were doing the right things, and yet they were being scrutinized and punished for it.Faiz SiddiquiIn the wake of many Facebook scandals, many Uber scandals, Tesla was the company to work for. Elon was the person to work for. There was no figure as magnetic, who inspired people in the way that Elon did. So recruiting was a strong suit of that company. And the pitch was: come here and change the world.Faiz SiddiquiI think what this book brings is a healthy dose of reality and skepticism… that so far has been lacking from the overall conversation around Musk. And what I you'll find is (I hope you'll find) that you can identify with some of the folks in the book who were lured in by the promises (or just enamored by the guy and what he might be able to bring to society if his goals were ultimately realized) but then ended up feeling disappointed or feeling like—hey, this guy was not all he was cracked up to be. Even if the goals were noble, even if the ambitions were the right ones, the ends might not have justified the means. And so I want people to find, ideally, that their understanding of one of the most powerful people in society today is enriched.Faiz SiddiquiBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.[Elon Musk is] just a walking violation of the federal code.Bruce FeinThere's nowhere to go but up in terms of being a smart consumer. Unfortunately, our Elementary and high schools don't teach consumer skills (they prefer to teach computer skills) and consumer skills result in what is, in effect, a pay raise.Ralph NaderAdam Smith once said many centuries ago that the purpose of production is consumption. And if consumption is informed and feeds back, it can lead to a high-quality economy. It can lead to more integrity to your consumer dollar and to your health and safety. It can lead to less environmental damage. It could lead to stronger regulation of product defects and services that are harmful. It's sort of a bottom-up economic democracy.Ralph NaderComplexity is a tool of power. Complex tax regulations are often blamed on the federal bureaucracy. No, it's the corporate tax lawyers.Ralph NaderNews 4/25/251. On Monday, April 21st, Vatican News announced the death of Pope Francis. This came just one day after Easter Sunday, when Francis met with Vice-President JD Vance. The day prior, Francis had snubbed the VP, sending in his place Cardinal Pietro Parolintoto to “deliver a lecture on compassion,” per the Daily Beast. Pope Francis led the Catholic Church since 2013 and during his tenure sought to move the church in a vastly more progressive direction – preaching against capitalism's destruction of the environment, advocating for abolition of the death penalty and greater acceptance for LGBTQ Catholics within the church, and expanding the reach of the church into non-traditional areas such as Mongolia among many other initiatives. This won him the admiration of many around the world, but also drew the ire of the conservative clergy, particularly in the United States. Francis was the first Jesuit Pope and the first Pope to hail from the New World. Senior churchmen will now assemble to elect a new pope. This conclave is expected to be contentious, with progressives seeking to consolidate Francis' reforms, while the conservatives see an opening to take back the formal organs of the church.2. Instead of death, our next story concerns birth. Noor Abdalla – wife of Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian Columbia University student currently being held by ICE in Louisiana – gave birth to their son on Monday. According to a statement by Abdalla, reported by Arya Sundaram of WNYC, ICE denied a request for Khalil to be temporarily released to meet their son, a “purposeful decision by ICE to make [her], Mahmoud, and our son suffer.” Later in this statement, Abdalla writes, “I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate just like his dad.” Khalil's case continues to wind its way through the courts; the result of this case will have significant ramifications for the Trump administration's ability to remove individuals with legal status on the basis of political speech.3. In an encouraging sign, more and more congressional Democrats are getting personally involved in cases of Trump administration overreach on immigration. In addition to Senator Chris Van Hollen's highly-publicized visit to El Salvador, TruthOut reports that Senator Peter Welch met with Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student entrapped with a false citizenship test, in Vermont. Meanwhile Cape Cod Times reports that on April 22nd, Senator Ed Markey and Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Jim McGovern of Massachusetts – along with Democratic members of the House Troy Carter and Bennie Thompson – traveled to a Louisiana detention facility to demand the release of Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts University grad student who was abducted off the street last month by masked ICE agents. This delegation met with Öztürk herself, as well as Mahmoud Khalil. And CBS reports Representatives Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, Yassamin Ansari and Maxine Dexter traveled to El Salvador as well, keeping pressure up regarding the Kilmar Garcia case. Still, hundreds of immigrants of varying status have been deported to the ominous and shadowy CECOT prison camp in El Salvador without due process since Trump began this mass deportation campaign.4. In more troubling Congressional news, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel on April 16th calling for investigations into the progressive activist group CodePink as well as the New York City cultural center known as the People's Forum. This letter is almost textbook McCarthyite red-baiting, claiming CodePink and the People's Forum are nothing more than mouthpieces for the Chinese Communist Party, thereby violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Beyond the fact that these groups are engaging in nothing more than constitutionally protected political speech, it is clear from the citations within the letter that they are targeting these groups because of their pro-Palestine positions. This is just another escalation in the Orwellian suppression of free-speech critical of the Israel's illegal occupation. Unfortunately, just as with McCarthyism itself, we cannot count on congressional Democrats to go to bat for the free speech rights of the Left.5. In a win for consumers, Bloomberg reports Airbnb announced it will now display the total price of stays – including all fees – to comply with a Federal Trade Commission rule set to go into effect next month. Many worried that the FTC would rescind this rule with the changing of the administration, but for now at least, the Trump FTC seems poised to keep it. This new rule is expected to “nudge hosts to lower their cleaning fees to make rentals more affordable, as the sometimes-exorbitant fees have become a key reason why some customers preferred hotels over Airbnb.”6. Another positive move is that the Trump Department of Justice has proceeded with an anti-trust case against Google's advertising technology, or “adtech.” On April 17th, a judge found Google liable for “willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power,” in two markets for online advertising technology, per Reuters. This follows a similar judgment against Google regarding a monopoly on search, which is only amplified by its adoption of AI. Another trial will determine the remedy for this monopoly, which could include Google being forced to sell off aspects of its business. According to this report, “Google has previously explored selling its ad exchange to appease European antitrust regulators.” Senator Amy Klobuchar, former chair of the antitrust subcommittee, called the ruling “a big win for consumers, small businesses, and content creators that will open digital markets to more innovation and lower prices.”7. On the other hand, Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “58 corporations facing federal investigations & enforcement lawsuits collectively gave $50 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Cases against 11 of these corporations have already been dismissed or withdrawn, and 6 have been halted.” More granular information about each of these enforcement actions is available through Public Citizen's Corporate Enforcement Tracker database, but the big picture is clear: If a corporation wants the government off its back, all they have to do is make a handsome contribution. The Trump administration is pay-to-play and open for business.8. In another instance of the administration tying the hands of key federal regulators, the Food and Drug Administration will “End its Routine Food Safety Inspections,” according to the National Public Health Information Coalition. The FDA plans to “shift most…food safety inspections to state and local agencies.” While some food inspections are conducted at the state and local level, public health advocates are raising concerns about “oversight and consistency.” According to CBS, these plans have not been finalized.9. Turning to the very worst part of this administration, NOTUS reports “The DOGE website, the only public accounting of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's attempts to reduce federal government spending…[has posted]…revisions that suggest DOGE was previously overstating its savings by hundreds of millions of dollars.” These stunning, if not altogether surprising, overestimations are staggering in scale. “On Tuesday [April 15th] alone, DOGE removed around $962 million in previously claimed cuts and altered hundreds of others to boost individual items' purported ‘savings' values.” The incompetence of DOGE has led Musk to reduce the target goal of spending cuts, down from $1 trillion to just $150 billion – a drop in the bucket when it comes to federal spending and certainly not worth the evisceration of Social Security and other programs these cuts have entailed.10. Finally, in more bad news for Elon Musk, Reuters reports the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is tightening electric vehicle battery safety standards, specifically to “ensure…batteries won't catch fire or explode.” This is quite a humble regulatory goal. However, this new regulation could spell disaster for Tesla. According to Tesla-fire.com, there have been 232 confirmed cases of Tesla fires and “83 Fatalities Involving a Tesla Car Fire.” If I were a Chinese EV regulator, I would be wary of allowing Tesla vehicles on the roads. But that's just me.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

SEASON 3 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We’ve all known it would come to this; we’ve all WARNED it would come to this; we’ve all PREDICTED they’d try to ease the knife in slowly, they’d take the boiling frog route, and here it comes. It’s in every piece of political science fiction from "1984" to "Brazil" to "V For Vendetta." And it is now real: if everything Trump does deserves criticism and gets criticism there is only one thing for Trump and his gang to do: prosecute criticism of Trump and claim those WHO criticize him are aiding and abetting terrorists. The ultimate Thought Crime was given voice by no less a figure than Trump's Counterterrorism Director, who, since Trump found the worst possible person to do each job (and bin Laden is dead) is Sebastian Gorka. The threat is connected to the push to send not just immigrants to rot in a For-Profit El Salvador Rendition Center, but American citizens too, especially those who standup to Trump's attempt to purge Hispanics from this country. Axios reports that one of the other potential new Orwellian crimes would be advising detainees of their rights. If that's not directed at AOC I don't know what could be. B-Block (25:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Derrick Van Orden attacks Wisconsin's governor because Van Orden thinks Milwaukee kids are stupid - and he misspells the word "how" in his post. Brian Kilmeade's Hegseth spoiler alert: he calls him "former secretary." And we are all very proud here that one of 'our own' has reduced Bill Maher to graffiti. Further details on "My Dinner With Adolf." C-Block (37:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I had literally forgotten - until I literally worked through the neighborhood - that I made my Broadway singing and dancing debut seven years ago. I mean literally, on stage, during an actual Broadway show. If it made that much of an impression on me, imagine how bored the audience was! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, China has increased its crackdown on Christians in the country. But it's not just communist China that has made Christianity illegal. The same thing is happening in Western democracies across the globe. One of those democracies has just passed a law effectively making Christian prayer illegal. Also, the stock market bounces back as Trump pauses most of the tariffs. Chris Matthews returns to MSNBC and makes one of the dumbest comments in the history of cable news—which is saying something. And the internet has been very mad at me this week, even more than usual.
