[ UNLOCKED Patreon exclusive episode ] 

Part 4 of the Media Roots Radio Smallpox Bioterror Hoax miniseries starts just 4 months before the launch of the Iraq war. In this episode Robbie lays out a litany of exclusively pulled TV archive clips, official US documents and official statements in late 2002 and early 2003 which make a strong case for the ‘pre-event’ Smallpox vaccination program playing a crucial (but memory-holed) role in the propaganda talking points deployed by the Bush administration for the war. Colin Powell mentions smallpox in his infamous UN speech about Iraq’s alleged ‘mobile biological weapons labs' and the fear became so intense domestically that 40% of Americans polled at the time believed that a smallpox bioterrorism attack was ‘likely’. If you’d like to hear the entire miniseries (Parts 1-6) become a Media Roots Radio subscriber @ https://www.patreon.com/mediarootsradio for as little as $5 to gain access.

Z 114 - Heavy Lays The Lore Pipe

In the second edition, Abby and Robbie dive deeper into what could be behind the new weaponized rhetoric of the right calling gay teachers and their political enemies 'groomers'. They discuss the disturbing trend of anti-LGBTQ legislation sweeping the country and what think tanks are behind the bills. As they discuss the organizations fueling this artificial culture war, strange associations emerge like Uyghur baseball teams, the 'Broken Windows Theory' and even the CIA. They wrap by discussing the history of LGBTQ repression in the US.

Dimitri and Khalid launch into a kaleidoscopic, meandering, improvisational deep dive on The Grateful Dead (née The Warlocks of Palo Alto), the band's extensive links to CIA/MK-Ultra LSD research at Stanford, Ken Kesey's Acid Tests, the deep folkloric origins of the "Grateful Dead" legend, Hank Harrison's anthropological framing of The Dead amidst San Francisco's wily bohemian roots, and begin to unpack the susness of the various counterculture figures/ruling class misfits hovering around the Deadhead scene. (Part 1 of 2.)
