According to Wikispooks:  "The ISW is a notoriously hawkish think tank funded by weapons contractors like Raytheon, General Dynamics and DynCorp"

I never was a fan of Rising because I thought Sagar was really hawkish and wicked sus, and I thought it strange that Krystal was in the mainstream media for years but only just now is on the right side of things (but only kind of). Grift

Dore was so heartbroken by her seeming betrayal of everything she said she stood for right on his show. I understand and apologize him, he stopped giving her press finally and unfortunately he had to get obviously long-term sick from the coronavax to stop ridiculizing people who aren't anti-vax but are weary of becoming a social outcast and barred from everywhere for not getting an experimental vaccine (that comes in many flavours) multiple times that was created in 9 months with the whole populace of the world being phase III subjects of experimentation.

this blew me away. Thanks for putting this together.

I think something you frequently misconstrue is when leftists I know say that we should work with right populist, they mean regular ass people in their communities and not so pundit goons or Twitter personalities, the revolution will not be tweeted

listening to this again and it's funny that you did a spoiler warning for Dr. Strangelove. It's a 60 year old comedy movie, I wouldn't worry about spoiling it for anyone lol

UNLOCKED

Robbie & Abby do a deep dive on the only DC foreign policy think tank that has managed to slide its tentacles into the so-called 'anti establishment' world of the 'populist right. They go back to the origins of the think-tank starting with founder Herman Kahn the inventor of the nuclear war MAD strategy all the way to their most effective salesman, Saagar Enjeti of the The Hill Rising who attended an Israeli counter terrorism school and wrote for Kim Kagan's Institute for the Study of War right out of 4-year college.

Note: Saagar Enjeti was no longer officially working for the Hudson Institute by January 2021. This podcast was originally released exclusively to Media Roots Patreon subsribers on May 2021.

In this Live Interview from 1/11, we talk with Derecka Purnell, author of 'Becoming Abolitionists: Police, Protests, and the Pursuit of Freedom' about her new book, her personal journey of embracing an abolitionist model and how, in the midst of a full blown reactionary moment over a rise in murders, activists can address legitimate fears of crime and provide an alternative vision to the cruel, failed "lock em up" approach.

227 - Cool Detective (Part 2)

"NFTs May Seem Like Frivolous Fads. They Should Be the Future of Music," argues Rolling Stone magazine. "How to Buy Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies: A Guide for New Crypto Investors," advises TIME magazine. "'I had $10 in my bank account': This 36-year-old went from living paycheck to paycheck to making over $109,000 selling NFTs," proclaims CNBC.

Over the past couple of years, U.S. media have been breathlessly hyping a new economy of digital "investment opportunities" and asset speculation. From cryptocurrency to NFTs, sports betting to online streaming casinos, business rags and legacy papers alike extol the virtues of a financial climate in which seemingly anyone with an internet connection, a smartphone, and a few bucks stands a chance of striking it rich.

It's what we're calling "The Last $100 In Your Bank Account Economy." Somewhere, somebody thinks there's too much idle money sitting in working and Middle Class people's bank accounts that isn't being properly exploited. This, to them, is a crime, and increasingly sleazy verticals are emerging to make sure it doesn't stay there for too long.
After all: Don’t you want to make your money work for you? Don’t let it sit there and collect dust. Get in on the action, fortune favors the brave, the next frontier, you can hit a 10 way parlay, don’t be an idle beta, get in on the action!!

Since the onset of the pandemic and the evaporation of government aid like unemployment and child tax credits, new gambling markets have exploded, filling the financial voids suffered by working people. Meanwhile, news outlets and sports networks have been at the ready, using the same old aspirational advertising tactics for lotteries, betting, and casinos. And it’s not just about paid ads, the media companies themselves––from Disney to Fox to Comcast are in the sportsbook business, and every outlet from Rolling Stone to the Associated Press are hawking NFTs, creating new frontiers of conflicts of interests.

On this episode, we detail the history of media's water-carrying for lotteries and other forms of gambling; how the press primes the public, especially the poor, to accept new forms of speculation tools like NFTs and cryptocurrency as normal, inevitable, and full of promise; and the ways in which they are cashing in on this cynical, infinitely regressive universe of extracting the last dollar out of your bank account.

Our guest is Motherboard's Edward Ongweso, Jr.
