“Le chien qui pleure” (the crying dog) is the first collaboration between Mélia Roger and Antoine Chessex. The piece proposes an ominous montage of different human and nonhuman voices creating a detailed sonic situation where the biosphere merged with the technosphere resulting in an uncanny, and possibly fatal encounter.

LE CHIEN QUI PLEURE - Mélia Roger & Antoine Chessex

This episode of the Global Research News Hour turns its attention to the  murder of the celebrated freedom movement leader, civil libertarian and champion of peace Martin Luther King. It examines the impossibility of his murder by James Earl Ray, the cover-up of what really happened and a look at what motivated certain figures to eliminate him. Our guest is the outstanding researcher and longtime investigator into the assassinations of the 60s, James DiEugeinio!

The Assassinations Part 3: Martin Luther King

Dimitri and Khalid continue chugging through Gustavus Myers’ “History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. II”, including: the rise of railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, his egregious use of commercial blackmail, his mail-transport bribery scandals in the 1850s, his homicidally “patriotic” profiteering during the Civil War, his corrupt consolidation of regional railroads into unassailable monopolies in the post-war era, constant allegations of labor “conspiracy” amidst Pinkerton false flags, the rigging of the NYC mayoral elections, and the trend of American industrial families marrying off their daughters to European nobility to ensure the continued dominance of both vampiric classes. [Part 2 of 3.]

Brian and Prof. Wolff discuss the state of unemployment in America. Politicians and the media talk constantly about the post-COVID economic recovery, but last month’s weak jobs report suggests that workers are still in the midst of crisis. And despite this dire situation, the unemployment relief programs passed at the onset of the pandemic have now expired.

Socialism or Capitalism: Millions of Unemployed Workers Lose their Benefits

Steve St. Angelo of the SRSrocco Report returns to continue our conversation on how the world is going off the Energy Cliff and how we are never going back to normal. We are seeing the peak and decline of this global hi-tech complex economy. He believes the elite are powerless to stop the falling Energy Return On Investment (EROI) and that a lot of their wealth is going to be wiped out, just as in past history (e.g. late Bronze Age). He sees us hitting the energy peak at 2025 and the likelihood of military conflicts as a consequence. Russia is looking to the Arctic and China is in serious trouble. We don't have enough energy to make the transition to the Green Economy and therefore things like the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, and EVs won't be possible at scale due to the lack of energy and an electric grid already at capacity. This would make maintaining a global digital technocracy difficult.

About Steve St. Angelo
Independent researcher Steve St. Angelo (SRSrocco) started to invest in precious metals in 2002. Later on in 2008, he began researching areas of the gold and silver market that, curiously, the majority of the precious metal analyst community have left unexplored. These areas include how energy and the falling EROI – Energy Returned On Invested – stand to impact the mining industry, precious metals, paper assets, and the overall economy.

Steve considers studying the impacts of EROI one of the most important aspects of his energy research. For the past several years, he has written scholarly articles in some of the top precious metals and financial websites.

You can find many of Steve’s articles on noteworthy sites, such as GoldSeek-SilverSeek, Market Oracle, Financial Sense, GoldSilver.com, SilverDoctors, TFMetals Report, Outsiderclub, SGTreport, BrotherJohnF, Hartgeld, Der-klare-blick, PeakProsperity, SilverStrategies, DollarCollapse, FurtureMoneyTrends, Sharpspixley, FinancialSurvivalNetwork, Pmbull, Deviantinvestor, PmBug, Wealthwire, and ZeroHedge.

Episode 93 - Afghanistan War Exposed: An Imperial Conspiracy

The SETI Institute posts an artistic challenge this month. This month’s was issued by the organization’s co-founder, Dr. Jill Tarter. (portrayed as Dr. Ellie Arroway in Contact). 
- In brief, the idea is to consider that First Contact between humans and extraterrestrials will likely be technologically mediated. “We use technology as a proxy for intelligence, and then we go looking with various types of telescopes and detectors to see if we can find evidence that somewhere else someone or something else has used technology to modify their environment in ways that we can sense over vast differences.”
-Consider what First Contact might be like elsewhere in the universe in light of Dr. Tarter’s challenge.
- Produce a piece in music/sound that responds to the challenge.

Morse (Interstellar Chat) - disquiet0453

I den här första delen av serien Musikens Slut, med vår gäst Rasmus Fleischer, testar vi tesen att musik som kulturellt fenomen – och kanske kulturell produktion generellt – hamnat i stillestånd. Befinner vi oss i en evig retro-loop och har det som är "nytt" slutat vara en möjlighet?

107 - The Exorcist Review!

The votes are still being counted, but it now looks certain that Joe Biden will be the next president of the USA. Despite the predictions of liberal pundits, though, the Biden landslide didn't emerge. Why? What does the US look like after four years of Trump? Has American political culture changed – and is it permanent? And what hope does the fledgling left in the US have? James Butler is joined by two leading writers and theorists of the American left, JoAnn Wypijewski and Vivek Chibber, to answer those questions. 

JoAnn's latest book, What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About #MeToo, is available from Verso Books. The two essays discussed in the episode can be found online: 'The Politics of Insecurity' at the New Left Review, and on the politics of the Brett Kavanaugh appointment at the Verso website. Vivek Chibber's work on class politics can be found at Catalyst.

#NovaraFM: After Trump

A lot of us are feeling cold, isolated, and depressed right now, so what better time to revisit Ingmar Bergman's WINTER LIGHT (1963)? We discuss crises of various kinds of faith, and the personal and political implications of the silence of God. PLUS: Why won't the pundit class (and specifically Paul Krugman) get behind a $2000 stimulus?

Michael and Us

#197 - Winter Light

Andrew, Theo, and Ben look at what's happening in the US through the only lens we know: how dipshit Australian columnists are responding to it. Plus: Theo bought a Škoda.
