SEYMOUR HERSH OUTS SETH RICH AS WIKILEAKS SOURCE (NAMELESS PODCAST)

Seymour Hersh

In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki addresses the legitimate bombshell, recently released by the news outlet Big League Politics, that legendary journalist Seymour Hersh has verified that the late Seth Rich was indeed the DNC insider who leaked the Podesta emails to Wikileaks.

THE ZEITGEIST ON WETBACK

by Alex Fontana

With the spate of liberal tears caught in the turmoil of their petty tantrums, creating tsunamis of disbelief, disorder, and discontentment, one cannot help but be reminded of Carlyle’s worldview of those world-historical great men: destroying the happiness of peoples while fulfilling the destiny of an age. The whole of the media establishment, the whole of the Western World has been rocked by the Ascension of Trump. The vindication of this Ascendency is that of the lifeless vein pulsing once again with the flowing blood of the risen people.

TRUMP, THE PROVIDENTIAL LOUT: GOD'S DEMAGOGUE?

by Andy Nowicki

Those who believe in Providence will attest that it is a wondrous thing. Often it sees to it that our faults, shortcomings, and vices wind up serving the greater good, quite contrary to our intentions and expectations.

In such a manner, I believe, Providence might presently be working through Donald J. Trump, to all appearances a vain, egotistical, arrogant, imprudent, and irascible blowhard whose very character deficiencies are currently enabling him to take a heroic stand against unfathomable corruption and unspeakable evil, in a context in which men of a less problematic temperament might feel tempted to roll over, knuckle under, and plead “no mas!”

"THE BIG SHORT": REVELATION OF THE METHOD?

by Andy Nowicki

The Big Short is a clever, engaging, and enraging movie about the predations and depredations of a criminal ruling class.

Like 2014's Wolf of Wall Street, The Big Short is based on a best-selling non-fiction novel detailing Wall Street high-stakes sleaze and fraudulence. This time, however, instead of being an autobiographical account of one man's life of unrelenting sociopathic greed, the tale is told from the collective point of view of a gang of both insiders and relative outsiders to the New York financial establishment.

PODCAST 30: THE POLITICAL PERVECAST

The unfolding sex scandal of Dennis Hastert, a former wrestling coach, ex-Speaker of the US House of Representatives, and–until recently–prominent lobbyist, serves as a point of departure for a wide-ranging discussion between Andy Nowicki and Colin Liddell on the the eternal synergy between politics and perversion. Other sex scandals touched on include Jeffrey Epstein, Cyril Smith, Lord Janner, and Clarence Thomas.

"THIS IS THE ELITES CIRCLING THE WAGONS!"

That face!

by Andy Nowicki

Folks on the "hard right" tend to regard commentator Ann Coulter as a GOP shill. While there is indeed much to justify such a perception of this photogenic motormouth pundette as displaying altogether too much partiality to Republicans and their agenda through the years, most infamously taking the form of overt praise for neocon-instigated bellicosity (e.g.: "Bomb their countries, kill their leaders, convert them to Christianity"), I have nevertheless always recognized in her a kind of brusque integrity, or maybe a certain relentless fury of temperament, an untamed intellect which cannot settle comfortably into any prescribed ideology.

Take, for example, this little segment (posted below), in which Ann speaks with certified GOP shill Sean Hannity and talks about the quite alarming case of Jeffrey Epstein (the name itself no doubt "triggering" to many of our readers!) Epstein, a billionaire banker, apparently "owned" a bevy of underage sex slaves, which he pimped to various high-profile friends, allegedly including former President Bill Clinton, hotshot law mogul Alan Dershowitz (double oy double vey!), Prince Andrew, and others. But being high-placed and well-connected with a legal "dream team," Epstein was generally able to evade the strong arm of the law, and got off (cough) with little more than prissy little slap on the wrist, and no charges have been brought against any of the other supposed malefactors.

THE CHOOM GANG IN THE WHITE HOUSE

by Brett Stevens

Jonathan Gruber triggered a political tempest when videos surfaced of him admitting, nay, bragging, that he and his comrades not only deceived voters, but manipulated them by using key terms to mislead and then delivered something else entirely.

Whether or not Gruber’s actions are evil, acceptable or merely predictable, he raised an interesting point for the American voters: would you elect yourself to the position of voter? After all, it seems like every year confidence in government falls and yet the voters keep consistently electing bad leaders.

As they say in the hills, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. It turns out the Barack Hussein Obama presidency has brought unprecedented levels of corruption, failure and reduced national prestige, but voters seemingly excited about his half-African origins and strong liberal credentials voted him into office twice. Is it time for the voters to step down?

PODCAST 17: SOUTH AFRICA: HOPE IN DIVERSITY

Nearly a year after Mandela's death, Andy and Colin talk to Afrikaner writer and activist Attie Schutte about the difficult situation of Whites in the supposed "multi-cultural paradise" of South Africa. Among the topics discussed are endemic corruption in the ANC, the rise of Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters, and efforts by Afrikaners to create true Apartheid (and diversity!) through all-White, Afrikaner-speaking communities like Orania and Kleinfontein. 

GAMING THE WORLD

Soccer and the Campaign for Anti-Racism 

by Colin Liddell

For most of those interested in it, the World Cup exists on two levels. First, there is the intense partisan connection that all supporters feel for their own national team—some of the deepest and occasionally darkest feelings known to man. Then there is the wider interest in the game—a more generous and objective love of the skills and stories generated by the competition, such as Germany's remarkable ability to destroy teams on the break, Diego Forlan's incredible shooting accuracy, Maradona's touchy- feely management style, and, of course, Paul the Octopus.

Typically the earlier stages of World Cups are experienced mainly on the first level, while in the latter stages—after most of the teams have been knocked out—supporters tend to broaden their appreciation and enjoy the game in a more general sense.

In my case, as the supporter of a country (Scotland) that failed even to qualify for the World Cup finals, my interest has been on the second level, except for a passing interest in seeing my country's traditional rival (England) knocked out—an aspiration that has thankfully come to pass.
