While visiting Hawaii in March of 2022 I enjoyed unique patches of the bamboo forest on Maui. The sound of the environment completely changed as soon as I entered the thick forest. In the dense bamboo a compelling percussive sound starts in the distance and ebbed toward me as the wind swayed the tall skinny shoots. Clicking and clacking together it felt as if this spontaneous rhythm passed through me.

Hawaii - Wind In The Bamboo Forest - 25 minutes of Nature

We continue the discussion of Laurent Guyenot’s latest article, The 9/11 Double-Cross Theory:  Pentagon Inside Job – World Trade Center Israeli Job, with emphasis on how the planes and the hijackers support the analysis of the 9/11 attacks as two separate, but related events, with two different signatures, two different plans for September 11th, and two different responses to it.

Laurent Guyenot’s new film, 9/11 and Israel’s Great Game, will premiere online on Sunday, October 9th, beginning at 9:00AM Pacific Time, followed by a panel discussion and questions from the online audience.  Here are the details:  https://noliesradio.org/archives/190669

9/11:  The Planes and the Hijackers - Laurent Guyenot, #445

Upon its release, Steven Soderbergh's TRAFFIC (2000) offered something novel: a cinematic tapestry that criticized America's War on Drugs. More than 20 years later, we consider its strengths, as well as the impact that time has diminished. PLUS: Let's read a little from Prince Harry autobiography, shall we?

#394 - The View from Nowhere

The US Federal Reserve printed $300 billion in one week to save collapsing banks and bail out wealthy Silicon Valley oligarchs. 93% of Silicon Valley Bank's deposits were uninsured, over the FDIC limit of $250,000, but the government still paid them. 56% of SVB's loans went to venture capitalist and private equity firms.

Inside Russia: Economists describe impact of Western sanctions and Ukraine war

Iain Davis discusses the global governance policies that are set regardless of who occupies any office and how we are steadily moving forward on their trajectory. Accelerationists like Peter Thiel are leading the way in building the new utopia/dystopia. The U.S. financial system is insolvent and they're keeping it on life support until they bring CBDCs online. The key to CBDCs is their interoperability and instant international settlement. Everything (e.g. pandemic, war) is leading up to this transition of the international monetary system. We have never faced a control system as all-pervasive and totalitarian in scope as what is coming. We also discuss multipolarity.

Iain Davis: They're Keeping the System on Life Support Until They Can Bring in CBDCs #363

Leaked Pentagon Docs Show US Elites Want Never-Ending Ukraine War

The U.S. and South Korean government have hidden the sex slave system for U.S. troops, called camp towns, that began after World War II as a continuation of the Japanese-run sex slave system in Korea, the so-called ‘comfort women.’ Now the story is finally getting more light—as  a way for the United States to push for war.

How South Korea Enslaved Women for U.S. Troops for Years

On today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy have unveiled a “debt ceiling” agreement involving major attacks on workers and the environment. The two are now racing to push through Congress a deal that would see stepped up production of fossil fuels, cuts to food stamps, and the rollback of vital services – all while making it easier for the rich to evade taxes and exempting the Pentagon from any spending limits.

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.
