The Army of Capitalism: Understanding NATO

Abby and Robbie discuss the frustrations of wading through media disinformation and hasbarists' desperate attempt to flip reality, the implications of the bombshell Israeli intelligence document that gave explicit advance detail on Operation Al Aqsa Flood, and the general psychopathic nature of the IDF during their genocidal onslaught.

Democrat's Palace Coup, Trump Assassination Attempt

A long, unedited excerpt from the dawn section of an unattended overnight recording, featuring Crested Bellbirds performing a series of transpositions of their distinctive but (rhythmically and tonally) variable Bellbird song pattern. (At 20:10 one of them seems to push itself to the highest point of its vocal range.)

The recording was made with a microphone rig comprising four supercardioid microphones in an IRT Cross / double NOS array, in open Mallee country.

In this first stereo mixdown of the four isolated tracks of the fourfold array, because of the original stereo perspective, there appears to be only one main (near) vocalist (not counting those Bellbirds that are obviously much farther away). However, while later experimenting with other stereo perspectives made possible by the four tracks, it became clear that, in fact, more than one main (near) Bellbird vocalist was involved. For a different stereo perspective that reveals this differentiation: https://earth.fm/recordings/winter-dawn-in-mallee-country-with-crested-bellbirds/.)

Recorded respectfully and mindfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.

2 Thrush Nightingales - The 48khz/24Bit version

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

Ecstasy, Israeli Art Students & the Mossad

[Experiment] Trying the Shure MV88 mic on a iPhone for field recording (nature).   Not that I would want to do this very often, but it could be useful when better mics/recorders are not available in a given moment.   The photo shows the location where this recording was made (holding the iPhone, standing about 5 feet from the grass in lower middle of photo).

[Setup] Shure MV88 on an iPhone 10 with foam windscreen. Settings on app:  mid-side mode, max compression, flat EQ,   The quality is not bad for what it is.

The Shure MV88 is *not* a sensitive mic and certainly not great for nature field recording.  The manual even says it was designed to record in very loud environments like concerts, so it would not be good for recording a quiet soundscape.   However, for loud environments it seems OK.   These cricket frogs were so loud that I wore the headphones for ear protection even when not recording.  Without ear protection the frog calls were painfully loud (to give an idea of the ambient sound levels being recorded).

BTW, on an iPhone X I was not able to find a way to monitor audio while recording.  Gain was set by watching the meter on the app.  On phones that have plug-in headphones, apparently there is a way to monitor audio while recording.
