Beyond The Fog Radio presents our most exciting episode yet: an interview with former U.S. representative and current Oakland mayoral candidate Barbara Lee, in partnership with KALW! KALW (91.7 FM) is the oldest public radio station in the Bay Area, and it hosts a program called "Bay Made" which spotlights local creators and businesses. Ben Trefny is KALW's Executive Producer, and he kindly invited us on Bay Made to record our interview with Congresswoman Lee at KALW's event space in downtown San Francisco. On January 15, in front of a live audience that included former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, Carolyn Tyler, and other community leaders, we launched into an in-depth look at Congresswoman Lee's life and career — her start in the Bay Area, her experiences in Washington D.C., and her goals as a mayoral candidate for Oakland. Many, many thanks to Ben Trefny, David Boyer, David Kwan, and Charles Lighthouse of KALW for helping us to reach a wider audience; to Congresswoman Barbara Lee for being our gracious guest; to everyone who came to the KALW event space on January 15; and to all of our listeners, partners, sponsors, and supporters!

Before you vote, you must know the true story of how Kamala got started on her climb to Vice-President - and God-forbid - President. I've 'diagnosed' her with Imposter Syndrome because she knows that she has never been qualified for any of the jobs she's held - except McDonald's (Oh wait, they said she never worked there!)! Dr. Carole tried to warn you about both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this episode from 2020 - and she was right! But, you didn't listen. You need to hear this again before even thinking of voting for her in 2024! Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.

The Devi is in the Details: How Beautiful Devils Harms (7/24/24)

The Secret Teachings

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 12, 2024 120:01


No matter your political affiliation, there are disturbing occult details about Kamala Devi Harris - and it has nothing to do with her or her policies. Kamala means “pale red” in Sanskrit and Devi means “goddess” of destruction. This makes Kamala the red goddess of destruction, otherwise known as Lilith or Lamashtu, who in her main incarnation is a Queen of Night and aborter of children and the tempter. She wears a rainbow around her neck and her followers abandon their biological gender. Kamala's number one issue is abortion and she is an enormous promoter of the rainbow ideology. A search for the Whore of Babylon (Great Prostitute) bible verse on some search engines strangely brings up a New York Times article about Kamala Harris and her abortion stance. Remember also that Kamala reportedly only moved up the political ladder, receiving two appointments, for having an affair with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown while he was married. This alone tarnished her image and made her out to be a political whore. Not to mention the Great Harlot goes by another name - the Scarlet Woman. An anagram of Kamala's full name reads “Aarika Devil Harms,” the first word actually being Sanskrit for “beautiful” - the Beautiful Devil Harms, certainly another reference to the Great seductive Prostitute. The other Adversarial Hakim, meaning Shatan Wise Man. In Hindu mythology, Devi accompanies Shiva in the doomsday tandava (dance). In the performance these two characters conquer an elephant (Republican) monster who is forced to dance until death. Shiva, and Devi, then wrap themselves in the blood and flesh of the elephant and finish the dance - in laughter. In 2020 when Kamala became Vice President, the Democrat National Convention changed their logo so the star pointed to the east. Interestingly, the spirt of the east is named ORIENS, as in Orient (Biden's deals with China), who rides a donkey (Democrat) in a performance (2020 Convention) followed by a woman (Kamala). This demon, when called forth, heralds the destruction of the western world. ORIENS is often linked to the fallen angel Samael, and controls vast hoards of other demons that can be called to service. Samael is the seducer, destroyer, and accuser. Kamala is furthermore a name of one of the Pleiades, which are universally associated with destructive floods and the destruction of the entire world - also, they are linked to sacred dances like those of Shiva and Devi. What all this means is open to interpretation, but it seems to be another example of using subtle references to certain occult themes in order to draw on otherworldly forces for power in this world. It is the hidden hand controlling human affairs. Kamala, if anything, is a vessel for this spirit of destruction just as witches are vessels for the Green Man or Moon spirit, Christians for the Holy Ghost, or Oracles for the gods to speak from. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/08/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. During his address, and subsequent Q&A with the media, Trump emphasized the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign's past endorsement of far-left policies—like a mandatory gun buyback initiated via executive authority, raising the eligibility age for Social Security benefits, and relaxed security at the U.S. Southern border. Trump also teased an upcoming interview he plans to do with Elon Musk early next week and revealed that he has agreed to three presidential debates with Harris in September on Fox News, ABC, and NBC. 3:15pm- In a recently unearthed clip, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz states: “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are out.” Despite the statement, Walz has never seen combat—retiring from the National Guard before he would have deployed to Iraq. 3:20pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of ‘embellishing' his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit's 2005 deployment to Iraq. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/us-news/tim-walz-embellished-military-career-for-years-dropped-from-national-guard-unit-ahead-of-iraq-deployment/ 3:40pm- During his Thursday press conference from Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump said “we have a lot of bad things coming up—you could end up in a depression of the 1929 variety which would be devasting…and we're very close to a world war.” He also emphasized that despite the narrative from the mainstream media, the energy and enthusiasm remain with his campaign. He noted that 107,000 people showed up to his rally in New Jersey—meanwhile, the media gushes when Kamala Harris is able to attract a few thousand people to her rallies. 3:45pm- While speaking on Thursday, Donald Trump said “the presidency was taken away from [Joe] Biden” by the Democratic Party elites. 4:05pm- During his Thursday press conference from Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump was asked about Kamala Harris's alleged romantic relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown—who is over 30-years older than her. Trump also addressed President Joe Biden's claim that if Trump wins the presidential election, there may not be a peaceful transfer of power. Trump insisted there will be, adding: “and there was last time.” 4:30pm- Bob Unanue— President & CEO of Goya Foods and a founding Board Member of the America First Policy Institute and Chairman of the Hispanic Leadership Coalition—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bidenomics and its impact on grocery store prices across the country. Plus, Unanue talks about his work on “The Sounds of Freedom”—a film about rescuing the victims of child trafficking. 5:05pm- NBC News Washington Correspondent Yamiche Aclindor reports that the Harris-Walz campaign is “not engaging on whether or not [Tim Walz] was falsifying his military record.” 5:10pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov.

More importantly, should Matt receive hazard pay for listening to “The Chuck Toddcast” for show content? 5:30pm- Montage: Kamala Harris has a history of calling for “equity”—and equitable redistribution—mandated by the government. 5:40pm- Andy Bloom—President of Andy Bloom Communications & former Communications Director for Rep. Michael R. Turner (R-OH)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for Broad + Liberty, “Greetings from Minnesota.” You can read the full article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2024/08/08/andy-bloom-greetings-from-minnesota/ 6:05pm- The Government Loves Censorship: In audio from a leaked Zoom call, Biden-Harris Digital Director Rob Flaherty and Rapid Response Director Rebecca Rinkevich explain how “misinformation”—including social media posts questioning President Joe Biden's mental acuity—were flagged as “misinformation” and efforts were made to censor the speech. 6:15pm- While appearing on CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he is not concerned about being “prosecuted” by a future Trump Administration. 6:30pm- In a recently unearthed clip, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz states: “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are out.” Despite the statement, Walz has never seen combat—retiring from the National Guard before he would have deployed to Iraq. 6:40pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov.

Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.

Democratic Senator from California Diane Feinstein has spent more than three decades in the U-S senate. Her tenure has won her praise from allied politicians like former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The lawmakers have defended Senator Feinstein as questions arise surrounding her ability to serve. Despite the backing of some defenders, Senator Feinstein is facing calls to step down from within her own party. Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and California Representative Ro Khanna have openly called for Feinstein's resignation. Senator Feinstein made efforts to slow the calls for her resignation by asking Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for a temporary replacement in her role on the Senate Judiciary Committee. But the brouhaha over Senate Feinstein brings more to mind than the current gerontocracy. It calls into question power in the Senate: who has it, how it operates, and how much of a senator's work output is dependent on the staffers surrounding them.  We speak with Jerry Goldfeder, professor of Election Law and Director of the Voting Rights and Democracy Project at Fordham Law School, for more.
