TBR 240209 – The Warmonger’s Apotheosis*

This week’s archive radio show revisits January of 2021 whilst Joe Biden was transitioning into the White House — and I warned that since his cabinet and his advisory team was utterly dominated by war profiteers then our new president was likely to very quickly get us into another war…

Why am I always so prophetic? I really wish I was wrong more often. Anyway — Joe Biden represents the Warmonger’s apotheosis — so watch your asses and your pocketbooks…

TBR 240126 – The Devil’s Chessboard*

This week’s archive radio show starts off by reporting on an exciting new/old technology that allows you to shoot down drones — and yet another exciting new technology that allows you to soften your skin even as the CIA simultaneously secretly collects a DNA sample from you!  What ingenious guys they are!  Next we describe some of the advantages — and disadvantages — of our machines.  We explore the fact that Occupy was partially funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and George Soros.  Following that we expand a truly horrendous metaphor to truly horrendous lengths to describe activism and we describe how activists need to all pull together now and knock it off with all the circular firing squads — right before we explain why everything is pretty much F*%#ED anyway so activism is probably pointless at this point.  We then describe the UN’s ‘stoneless’ state and then we describe a great movie idea in case anyone that actually makes movies wants to make a movie out of it.  (It involves FBI entrappers being ’stung’ by FBI stingers.)  Then, we describe one of the most evil humans in history that you have never heard of — the non-infamous Allen Dulles.

TBR 240112 – The Dictatorship of the Refrigerator*

This week’s archive radio show starts off with a lesson on how to be an activist!  (It’s a fun job — but somebody’s gotta do it!)  Then, we reveal how Americans are educated just enough to not realize how uneducated they actually are.  After that, we point out that humans have an amazing ability to accept insanity as normal when insanity becomes normalized — especially since if they ever rationally faced the insanity then they would probably go insane.  Next, we fulfill our duty to utterly terrify you by pointing out how with recent advances in technology, then very soon the 1% may not need us to build their world for them any longer.  (And you know their usual policy toward what they consider to be ‘useless mouths’ — i.e. someone that does not produce profit for them.)

Then, for the feature piece this week, we describe how David Patraeus — ex-head of the CIA — came right out and admitted that they are going to start using the ‘smart grid’ and ‘smart appliances’ to monitor us.  Now your refrigerator will be spying on you right along with your phone, your computer, your car, and your alarm system, etc.

There will soon be nowhere that is safe.

The Thunderbolt is likely to rock your socks.  Listen at your own risk.
