Wed 08 Feb: Clown Circus - War Talk - OpsOnOpsOnOps - DIA Twitter - Data River - The Guidelines - Truth Drips: Let's be crystal clear. This was all a nation wide overt and covert influence operation by government agencies. Their optics are failing fast. Our amazing Trump anti-war luck. STOMP technology and the Turkish press. Dark money and dipping from the data stream. Is this a whitewash committee? All designed to skew public opinion. The Manning Experiment, the Invisible Girl, and questions not being asked. Where is Dana Harvey? Dude looks like a lady. What we want now is action. Alpha people didn't sign up for this. The conversion from employees to elements. Managing the bots before bots. A general's name gets mentioned. Loyalty is proven by action not words. Committee scenes like soy squirming, VAXXX regret, hack and leak talk, plus scary words that hurt the libs. Bathroom sex braggarts and 100% not the White House. For social media, the bottom line means suppression of free speech by The Tore Says Show

National Psychosis or Constitutional Rot, the Question Remains: Is there a Cure?: The disinformation war of the President, AG Barr and their associates is unlike any we have ever seen in US history...and this is a country that knows a thing or two about bullshit. But not only is the Team Trump effort more sweeping, but thanks to Barr, the administration is now trying to translate their alternative reality into an institutional outcome, blunting the efforts of the Congress to do oversight by simply arguing that they don't have authority or what they seek is irrelevant or that they are investigating the wrong crimes. It has stifled investigation for half a year and looks like it may largely negate Democratic efforts altogether. To figure out what the remedy might be, we have to understand the underlying issues and that's what we discuss with guests Greg Sargent of the Washington Post and Ryan Goodman of Just Security and NYU Law School. It's a powerful, thought-pro by Deep State Radio

But have faith in the human spirit, and know that hope is a powerful force. Today's events are no coincidence. Tyrannical forces will be weakened. Ours is a future that only we can build. It means a better world for us and our children. Together, with faith in ourselves, we will prove it's true. The best is yet to come. by The Tore Says Show

Are We on the Road to Political Apartheid in the US: The most recent Supreme Court decisions remind us that on our current path voter suppression and more power be given to the richest members of our society are only going to get worse. The current majority on the court exists because presidents elected by a minority of voters nominated candidates who won election thanks to Senators representing a minority of Americans. We discuss where we are headed with David Corn of Mother Jones, Ryan Goodman of NYU Law School and Dr. Kavita Patel of the Brookings Institution. In addition we consider the implications of the indictment of the Trump Organization and its CFO and of the launching of the committee to investigate the 1/6 insurrection for our political future. Don't miss this timely episode.Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio">http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio</a>. <hr><p styl by Deep State Radio

Thu 23 Jun: Thunder (Part 1 of 2) - Short Air - SCOTUS Moves - Uniparty Origins - Two Tiers - Tribalism - Wrecking Ball: The rumbles are distinct, and the lightening is starting to flash. Airlines, the VAXT, and weather related cancellations. The fruitful necessary adventures. SCOTUS moves give some hope. Slowing the anti gun zealots. State changes are required like ways to impeach and remove. The Uvalde op blows up. The idiotic voter ID debate. They want robots not laws. How the uniparty got started. Early insights into party history. What happened to the Federalists? A political party was phased out. The GOP gets destroyed. Tribal instincts offer political advantages. Gutting Obotcare is a good start. The FROG cypher creates ballot needs. Primary fraud erupts in Georgia. Remember, they sued states to force use of election machines. Wrecking balls can tear it all down. More J6 show to fight what Trump represents. Have faith, because there is so much happening in the background. by The Tore Says Show
