This week on the Global Research News Hour, we continue the discussion surrounding the 9/11 attacks and examine what’s been gained and  what’s been lost after 20 years of research, promotion, and legal actions

In our first half hour we are joined by the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth president and CEO Roland Angle to discuss the results for their group, and talk about efforts to defray and disqualify the campaign for truth. In our second half hour, film maker and podcaster James Corbett  reflects on his views about the state of the movement and how it guides us to respond to crimes threatening a new generation of 'conspiracy theorists.'

From 9/11 truth to  COVID truth. Victories and Failures Twenty Years Later

Guns and Butter 410

How Alliance of Intelligence & Organized Crime Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein - Whitney Webb, #410

Welcome to This Machine Kills! Hello friends and enemies.

It's episode one and what a better way to kick things off than by diving into the policing-industrial complex. We get into the intimate crossovers between the tech sector and police departments. And the bizarre similarities between the pathetic goons who spend their days defending Blue Lives and Tech Lives. It's a big party full of the worst people on the planet!

This Machine Kills

1. Tech Lives Matter

Cold open: You come at the king, you best not miss.

Main show: We're locked and loaded with stacks of earnings reports. We've got Uber's finances in our sites. We take aim at the economic underpinning of this lobbyist with an app. It's time for some Uber theory, baby.

3. Exploitation Über Alles

Episode now remastered so it sounds 1000x better!

Cold open: Agent Zuboff receives her mission.

Main show: We politically cancel Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, for advancing / mainstreaming a reactionary critique. Surveillance capitalism is not a “rogue mutation” of a normal capitalism. Surveillance is not the scapegoat that needs to be sacrificed so we can maintain a good version of consumption and commodification. We let you in on a little secret—one that Zuboff’s work is designed to obscure—the real horrors have been coming from inside capitalism all along.

4. Zuboff is a PSYOP

Cold open: What does a scanner see?

Welcome to the first installment of This Movie Kills! This week we discuss the film A Scanner Darkly (2006), an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s novel. What do you get when you shake together drug psychosis, police paranoia, distorted perception, atmospheric anxiety, and identity crisis? Bad vibes all around! Or, maybe just another day in “a world getting progressively worse.” The story is from the seventies, the movie feels like the 90s, but the themes are all about today.
