Todd McGowan & Ryan Engley - Guattari Avec Lacan

Alexandra Marshall discusses what she calls the three apocalypses as framed by the ruling elite: coronavirus pandemic, climate change, and a coming cyber pandemic or "digital darkness". "Climate Change" has been a hard sell and "is the only narrative capable of achieving massive state land grabs and control of global food production." "Apocalypse Politics" is a favorite tool of Davos and the ultimate goal is to "induce a permanent war economy within democratic nations onto which global treaties can be grafted to justify the antiquated socialist dream of a global bureaucracy." She feels the coming cyber attacks are really going to hurt and cause greater damage than the government pandemic policies and climate politics, but beyond that, she is even more worried of a fourth apocalypse, that of a geopolitical conflict and war with China.

Alexandra Marshall: The Four Apocalypses of Corona, Climate, Cyber Pandemic, & War with China #210

Abe and Michael examine the 95 minutes of the 2017 action/adventure film The Dark Tower. Based on an eight book saga, this "sequel" was critically panned and financially a sleeper. Why wasn’t it memorable for some? Does it hold up on a second viewing? Your dads, Abe and Michael, would never fight, but they definitely have a difference in opinion.

Look at that! 400 podcasts/videos! Hurrah us! And you! You made this happen!
