[Craic] Great discussion on Virtual Craic today (media manipulation and the rise of tyranny)

[Allan Baker]

Thanks Art for the honourable mention.

I am vacationing with family in Naperville, Illinois.

Wishing you all a happy celebration of ????  whatever your theology is surrounding Jesus. That mix of theologies may very well be a result of the democratization of thought that Dr. Paul was speaking about on Saturday morning.

Blessings;
Allan

Still lots more to discuss on this issue.  I admit I was mistaken  confusing Chris Hedges lawsuit against the federal dissolution of Pasi Cometatus for Habeus Corpis.  I guess this raises the question is Habeus Corpis still alive and well in the USA and Canada as I was arguing.

My view is that people like Tucker and to a lesser extent Trump have been demonized by the media and the truth of their message is lost.  The great thing about YouTube video's is that viewing a pundit explaining their position gives some insight into the integrity and sincerity of the individual.  I believe that this is what these two videos display , people of great integrity giving an insightful message of our current context. Real Journalism.  Of course I am completely infatuated with the brilliance of Whitney Webb. Let me know if you concur.

But they also admit that despite Dr. West’s fiery rhetoric and focus on the underprivileged and marginalized, he nevertheless reverts to standard issue neoliberal ideology that reinforces the status quo and props up the establishment

> Whitney Webb is an independent investigative journalist who founded Unlimited Hangout, which covers intelligence, tech, surveillance and civil liberties. In this interview, we discuss the importance of independent journalism, the challenges of media manipulation and the rise of tyranny. We also talk about the risks of AI, the influence of powerful figures like Elon Musk and the need for public scrutiny, and the potential co-opting of Bitcoin by powerful institutions
