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

(either I'm recalling wrong, isn't that Q's birthday, or it was Nov 30th 2017)...but if it was that day, that's some really weird coinkidink

Libertarianism and leftist LARP’ing is conservatisim’s catch-net for conservatives who are considering socialism. It’s a cheap nationalism, a counterfeit socialism. Hence all the mixed and confusing political messages & language that appear lefitst.

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.
