Sam Cooper is an award-winning Canadian investigative journalist and best-selling author, recognized for his in-depth reporting on money laundering, organized crime, and foreign interference in Canada. He gained prominence for breaking the British Columbia casino money laundering story in 2017 while at the Vancouver Sun and later expanded his work at Global News. His book, Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West, alleges that Canadian officials ignored a sophisticated criminal network tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), impacting real estate, casinos, and the fentanyl crisis. Marc Cohodes is a prominent American short-seller and investor, widely recognized for his ability to uncover corporate fraud and financial misconduct. With a career spanning decades, he gained fame as a general partner at Rocker Partners (later Copper River Management) from 1985 to 2009, where he exposed major frauds like Lernout & Hauspie and NovaStar Financial—the latter becoming a Harvard Business School case study. Known for his tenacious and outspoken style, Cohodes has targeted companies across industries, including biotech (e.g., MiMedx) and crypto (e.g., FTX), often predicting collapses before they occur.Cornerstone Forum ‘25https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone25/Get your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500Substack:https://open.substack.com/pub/shaunnewmanpodcastSilver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionWebsite: www.BowValleycu.comEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Use the code “SNP” on all ordersProphet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.com

This is episode 44, which marks a paradigm shift (at least a small one). We have tried to be more concise in discussing the scores we have brought along, so that we can stay under the 90 minute mark. You'll hear us talking about this during the actual show. It's all about constraints and how they can make the show better. You'll be the judge of that. As always, we bring you two soundtracks. This time they are both related to anime, or at least come from Japanese culture. On the film side we have Hellsing, a 2001 anime directed by Umanosuke Iida and Yasunori Urata with a soundtrack by Yasushi Ishii. The game is Xbox 2007's Lost Odyssey, with a score by none other than Nobuo Uematsu and directed by Daisuke Fukugawa. If you want to support us you can always write a comment here in the page, on Mastodon or on Instagram which would be highly appreciated. If you're interested in a more relaxed podcast about mostly (city-) building game soundtracks for the PC (think Anno, Settlers, Tycoons from the 90's and onwards) then check out Aufbaumusik. Enjoy this episode and please give us feedback!

David Knight Legg served as Premier Jason Kenney's principal adviser, where he was involved in efforts to combat negative perceptions of Alberta's oil and gas sector. He was appointed as the first CEO of the Invest Alberta Corporation in 2020, with the aim of attracting high-value investments to Alberta. After leaving Invest Alberta, he has been in various advisory roles to global banking, investment, and technology firms in Asia and the U.S. Sam Cooper is a prominent Canadian investigative journalist and best-selling author, recognized for his work on Canada-China relations, corruption, and foreign interference. His most recognized work is the book "Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West". Cooper founded The Bureau, an independent investigative journalism platform, aiming to continue his work on uncovering corruption and countering disinformation. Brett Oland is the CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union (BVCU), based in Alberta, Canada. Oland initiated a strategy where part of BVCU's balance sheet was backed by gold to hedge against inflation and economic downturns, which has been both praised for its foresight and criticized by regulators for potentially undermining the banking system's stability. We discuss the Trump Tariff negotiations, the next 30 days, the fentanyl czar and whether this current administration can work with the US.

Episode 43 took a while because I switched jobs and I was either too busy or too lazy to edit it. We actually recorded in the beginning of September 2024. Then I tried to upload in October but archive.org was still down. So this is coming out in November. Anyway, both scores we play are classics in their own way I guess. So on the film side we've got Michael Giacchino's score to the 2009 J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie which is also referred to (by me) as Star Trek 11. On the other side the Kaptain brings the score to the 1991 SNES Konami game TMNT IV: Turtles in Time by Mutsuhiko Izumi, Harumi Ueko and Kazuhiko Uehara.

Who ensures that dictators and oligarchs get good press? Who feeds the media fake stories that serve the ends of the powerful? Phil Elwood was a PR operator who worked for authoritarian regimes, manipulating the media to support his controversial clients. In his book All The Worst Humans he opens the lid on the dark arts of PR and news management, from “kneecapping” the US bid for the 2022 World Cup to getting positive press for Libya during the release of the Lockerbie bomber. “I carry a lot of regret for my career,” he tells Jacob Jarvis.

All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians by Phil Elwood https://amzn.to/3LPfR1S A bridge-burning, riotous memoir by a top PR operative in Washington who exposes the secrets of the $129-billion industry that controls so much of what we see and hear in the media―from a man who used to pull the strings, and who is now pulling back the curtain. After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that's made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he's been up to for the past twenty years―and it isn't pretty. Elwood has worked for a murderer's row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar. In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public―not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career. This is a piercing look into the corridors of money, power, politics, and control, all told in Elwood's disarmingly funny and entertaining voice. He recounts a four-day Las Vegas bacchanal with a dictator's son, plotting communications strategies against a terrorist organization in Western Africa, and helping to land a Middle Eastern dictator's wife a glowing profile in Vogue on the same time the Arab Spring broke out. And he reveals all his slippery tricks for seducing journalists in order to create chaos and ultimately cover for politicians, dictators, and spies―the industry-secret tactics that led to his rise as a political PR pro. Along the way, Phil walks the halls of the Capitol, rides in armored cars through Abuja, and watches his client lose his annual income at the roulette table. But as he moved up the ranks, he felt worse and worse about the sleaziness of it all―until Elwood receives a shocking wake-up call from the FBI. This risky game nearly cost Elwood his life and his freedom. Seeing the light, Elwood decides to change his ways, and his clients, and to tell the full truth about who is the worst human.About the author Phil Elwood is a public relations operative. He was born in New York City, grew up in Idaho, and moved to Washington, DC at age twenty to intern for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He completed his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University, and his graduate studies at the London School of Economics before starting his career at a small PR firm. Over the last two decades, Elwood has worked for some of the top – and bottom – PR firms in Washington. He lives in DC.

In the wake of the recent Trump-Biden debate, public relations operative Phil Elwood joins co-host V.V. Ganeshananthan and guest co-host Matt Gallagher to talk about his career spinning stories in favor of infamous international leaders. Elwood, whose clients previously included figures like Libya's Gaddafi family and Syria's al-Assads, recalls his strangest assignments, his biggest regret—helping Qatar to secure soccer's World Cup—and his proudest accomplishments, including spotlighting the mental health treatment that has helped him. He reflects on how his career shifted when he was swept up in then-FBI Director Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and also explains tactics such as “detonating the bomb in a safe location,” which means giving an unavoidable, damaging story to a second-tier publication so that the “hit isn't so bad.” Elwood reads from his new book, All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians.

PR Operative Phil Elwood is a man who used to pull the strings, but who is now pulling back the curtain in his DC tell-all book, ALL THE WORST HUMANS. After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that's made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he's been up to for the past twenty years—and it isn't pretty. Elwood has worked for a murderer's row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar. In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public—not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career.

Phil Elwood was a marketer and strategist who helped the governments of Libya, Qatar, Nigeria, and not quite but almost Syria make their cases on the world stage. He was also involved in the Mueller probe, and had a toe touch with Cambridge Analytica. In other words, he's a fascinating, conflicted, but mostly contrite figure, and author of All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians. Plus, the overstuffed South African cabinet, and a pundit who loved Joe Biden's chances until she didn't.

Donald Trump lies a lot, and his acolytes construct permission structures to excuse those lies. On the other hand, Joe Biden put forward a cringe-worthy performance, and his VP engaged in some BET Awards cringiness of her own. Voters are more likely to punish cringe. Plus, Phil Elwood put together PR and public policy campaigns for dictators and rogue states. It paid ok, but also, it almost destroyed him, as he chronicles in his new book, All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians.    Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara  Email us at thegist@mikepesca.com  To advertise on the show: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist  Subscribe to our ad-free and/or PescaPlus versions of The Gist: https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/  Follow Mike's Substack: Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack  Learn more about your ad choices.

The American Civil War brought with it unprecedented demands upon the warring sections—North and South. The conflict required a mobilization and an organization of natural and man-made resources on a massive scale.In this episode I talk with Jeffry Wert, author of the new book Civil War Barons, which profiles the contributions of nineteen Northern businessmen to the Union cause. They were tinkerers, inventors, improvisers, builders, organizers, entrepreneurs, and all visionaries. They contributed to the war effort in myriad ways: they operated railroads, designed repeating firearms, condensed milk, sawed lumber, cured meat, built warships, purified medicines, forged iron, made horseshoes, constructed wagons, and financed a war. And some of their names and companies have endured—Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Deere, McCormick, Studebaker, Armour, and Squibb.The eclectic group includes Henry Burden, a Scottish immigrant who invented a horseshoe-making machine in the 1830s, who refined the process to be able to forge a horseshoe every second, supplying the Union army with 70 million horseshoes during the four years. John Deere's plows “sang through the rich sod, portending bountiful harvests for a Union in peril.” And Jay Cooke emerged from the war as the most famous banker in America, earning a reputation for trustworthiness with his marketing of government bonds.

Investigative reporter Sam Cooper describes the waves of drugs and laundered money from China crashing on Canada's shores. Sam's book is “Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons, and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West.” (This episode was originally published in 2021.)

The worlds of media tycoons are often so strange and twisted, it's hard to believe the stories aren't fiction. In Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Media Empire and the Redstone Family Legacy, authors James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams chronicle the dramatic story of one of the most powerful media dynasties in history. Join Steve Hayes as he interviews Stewart and Abrams on the history of the Redstone family and their rise to power.
