Pull it, as in "pull the plug". As in, stop trying to save building 7. Kind of a stretch to think it could mean something else. Doesn't mean there was no financial incentive in "pulling the plug", it's just not very convincing. 

A loose and chill hang out ep as we come to you from Atlantic City after our successful appearance at the FRQNCY1 festival. We pitch some of our concepts to revitalize AC and solve America’s Trump problem in one tidy package, lament the purging of some truly wonderful cranks and goofys from twitter, then travel Into The Ray Donoverse.

530 - Auspicious Dragons (6/7/21)

This episode we sit down with Mike Recine of the "The Sit Down with Mike Recine Podcast" podcast. 

Basically, the thesis statement of this episode is. 9/11 needs to be properly investigated with an actual qualified 3rd party investigation. NOT a Bush investigating the Bush's. Along the way we are going to talk about some conspiracy theories and their legitimacy in some cases.... wait... where are you going? COME BACK! Seriously, there is some stuff involved with the financial market that gets covered, and let's face it, Larry Silverstein who owned the buildings involved in the attacks, was pulling some pretty shady ass shit, and by pretty I mean VERY. So just give it a listen with an open mind, but of course at the end of the day you're all smart people, otherwise you wouldn't be listening to our podcast. However, the original investigation, was flawed, and I don't think anyone can deny that.

Collapsing Banks & A Weakening U.S. Empire

Security Expert Lee Slusher discusses the state of Pax Americana and how the post-WWII status quo is failing. The West's foray into Ukraine is a fool's errand and it's likely we've reached peak NATO and EU. He analyzes the recent Prigozhin incident and evaluates Russian power. Lee lived and worked in Taiwan and believes the U.S. no longer has the capability to defend Taiwan. He feels countries are making concrete steps toward multipolarity. We also discuss the destabilization of Hungary, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, the global elite, and how the goal on all fronts is control.
