Because it's New York City, anything that drives the landlords to commit suicide is fine by me.

"Deprogramming" was a last-ditch method by parents to get college-aged children out of the cult. It was pretty extreme (because they were holding people against their will doing forced rundowns of different types to "break" cult beliefs) and is no longer being done thanks to legal pressure. I know that Rick Ross (the cult expert, not the Def Jam beardo) was a deprogrammer in the 1980s, maybe Steve Hassan (the "BITE" model) was involved.

The deal with Northern Korea is it was the rural, religious part of the country while the South was urban and full of Leftists. The split after WWII switched the sides and people mass-migrated from either side before the Korean War started in 1950. Life under Japanese rule was harsh, but the aftermath as a split nation was an utter disaster for Korean society.

The time control is something you also see in Scientology's (not legally existing) Sea Organization, where the SO members are "priests"/handymen/landscapers/crew of the "Freewinds" auditing ship. If you have a wife you can't see her, same with any children. And they make you sign a document that you will reincarnate after death (!) to rejoin the Sea Org. (Most people do not know how heavily Scientology leans on reincarnation as a spiritual mechanism.)

The "Exile" did a piece in 2010 on what a nuthouse the "Washington Times" is: https://exiledonline.com/the-sordid-rise-fall-of-the-washington-times-how-ex-nazis-cocaine-smugglers-moonie-cultists-created-right-wing-republican-propaganda-organ-and-brought-it-crashing-down/

Having "nonaligned subsidaries" is right out of the Mob playbook. Breaking up the organization into a series of shell corporations was the thing done by Scientology to dodge the IRS, with the funny thing being that even after Scientology beat the IRS, the shell companies still exist.

September 11th 20th Anniversary Part 1 of 2:  The Return of the 9/11 Conspiracy Left, Restrategizing & Turning Over More Stones

Abby and Robbie Martin talk to independent researcher Gumby for a two-part 9/11 20 year anniversary Media Roots Radio special. In light of the Spike Lee controversy about his 9/11 HBO series, they discuss the history of all the prominent officials and Hollywood celebrities that spoke out and questioned the official story, and how that legacy has been whitewashed today. After taking listeners through how the early 9/11 truth movement reached a critical mass within anti-George W Bush liberalism, they reflect how activists could better strategize in lieu of the new opening of discussion around the attacks in 2021. In Part 2, all the media hype surrounding the 20th anniversary is discussed as is the inevitable backlash that came for 9/11 truthers within leftism itself.

The Return of the 9/11 Conspiracy Left, Restrategizing & How to Turn Over More Stones 1 of 2

Robbie Martin of Media Roots Radio guides the listener through the history of the infamous 'Israeli Art Student' spy ring that was identified by the DEA in an official leaked document from 2000 and how this spy ring crosses over with the illicit global MDMA/Ecstasy trade, the 9/11 hijackers in Florida and possibly dozens of Mossad cut-out operations operating inside the United States. 

In the episode we provide an exclusive report from Dancesafe.org co-founder Emanuel Sferios about his own encounter with the Israeli spy ring in 1999.

Additional documentation, video clips and pointers were provided by researchers Jon Gold and DJ Thermal Detonator

*Opening track is 'Alien Disco' by Cosmosis from 1996

*Robbie incorrectly says the Dancesafe.org office was in San Francisco, CA, it was actually located in Oakland, CA

*Robbie incorrectly refers to Urban Moving as 'Urban Moving Systems' several times before realizing his error
