    Ep. 65: Fmr. Soviet Bloc Students on Freedom

    From Los Angeles… Rethinking Heroes with Cary Harrison: Two 12th-graders show sage understanding of books, academics, brains, and a bold future - if they’re allowed to have it! We often think of heroes as established figures with a lasting impact. However, history shows that many heroes have been young people who risked everything for an uncertain future. Today, as freedom hangs in the balance, we confront the perils of our time: dictatorships rising in the east and west, propaganda, and lost civil rights - an unholy trinity threatening humanity's progress. So, what is dictatorship? It's rule by fear, where one person's power overrides the people's voice. A single entity dictates truth, silencing dissent and opposition. What is propaganda? Manipulated information spreading like wildfire, fueling hatred and dividing nations. Does this sound familiar? And what's at stake? Your civil rights: fundamental freedoms dwindling, leaving vulnerability in their wake. Speech suppressed, assembly restricted, equality eroded. From Eastern autocracies to Western democracies in decline, warning signs are flashing red. The danger is real, pervasive, and escalating. But remarkably, many young people refuse to surrender. They're rising against oppression, uniting for freedom, and reclaiming their inherent rights. They champion truth, defend dissent, and demand accountability. Notably, many of these young heroes are from former Soviet bloc countries, where education remains a valued tool that empowers everyone - knowledge. Unlike in some US states, where governors like Ron DeSantis have restricted history, banned over 1,000 books, and made being gay a felony, alongside discussions of climate change. What's the difference between these governments and Putin's Moscow? It seems there are more similarities than differences. We'll explore these perils, expose their roots, and examine a united front against tyranny. These students believe the future of our world depends on it. I've had the privilege of teaching critical thinking and media literacy in Switzerland to exceptional students at Institut Montana in Zug. One of these students, from Lithuania, connected her school with us to discuss the world's realities on public radio. Lithuania, situated in the heart of the former Soviet bloc, surrounded by Russia and Ukraine, has recently experienced fascism, dictatorship, and authoritarianism. Hearing from these young minds offers a fresh perspective, untainted by corporate media biases. Please welcome 18-year-old Atėnė Goštautaitė, a senior high school student. She is one of the founders of her school's writing club and represented Lithuania in Germany through the prestigious PAD exchange program, where she joined students from over 80 countries. Atėnė's accomplishments include participating in Erasmus programs focused on ecology and culture. She speaks English, Lithuanian, and German and has studied business and entrepreneurship. Additionally, she has been a dedicated dancer for 12 years. Joining Atėnė is 18-year-old Nojus Mačulis, also a 12th grader in Lithuania. Nojus is passionate about finance and economics and founded his school's finance and investing course, paving the way for his future studies in economics. Beyond academics, he enjoys reading novels, playing basketball, and competing in track and field. Nojus is also committed to community service, volunteering at a local homeless shelter and helping organize TEDxYouth for his school. 00:00 Introduction to Rethinking Heroes 01:03 The Fragile Balance of Freedom 01:35 Understanding Dictatorship and Propaganda 02:46 The Role of Education in Empowerment 03:59 Connecting with Lithuanian Students 06:59 The Importance of Voting and Youth Engagement 15:43 Project 2025 and Its Implications 29:07 The Hidden Messages in 'The Wizard of Oz' 29:43 The Power of Propaganda: Influencing Decisions 31:24 Historical Examples of Propaganda 32:52 Modern Propaganda and Media Control 37:52 The Impact

    Ep. 61: Why Some Americans Love Authoritarianism & Open Phones

    From Los Angeles… Rethinking Heroes: Why Some Americans Love Authoritarianism Well, today we embark on a journey through the annals of what I shall refer to as the "Traitor's Path." A meandering trek that some Americans seem alarmingly eager to undertake, often driven by the irresistible allure of authoritarianism. As we wade through these murky waters, let us marvel at the sheer caprice of human nature and the fallacies that lead men to betray their kind in pursuit of what can only be described as fleeting illusions. Picture it: our nation, envisioned as a beacon of liberty and justice, has its very fabric tested by the temptations of despotism. Indeed, my own family's lineage contains within it the dichotomy that represents our national struggle. On my mother's side, an illustrious connection to Abraham Lincoln, the liberator and emancipator. On my father's side, a sordid history of slavers, bound to the whims of English royalty dating back to 1640. Another illustrious figure, one shrouded in infamy—Benedict Arnold—lies nestled in my maternal genealogy, a man whose treachery is both famous and instructive. Arnold fought initially on the side of George Washington, striving, as did many colonialists, against the perceived tyranny of British rule. Yet, financial woes and an unpaid Congress nudged him into the debtor's prison that England so gleefully maintained. Abruptly, Arnold shifted allegiances, his motivations quintessentially mercenary, to save his own neck. This man was branded a villain for generations, and deservedly so. Oh, the ease with which necessity transforms into treachery! But let us not conflate necessity with the whimsy and malevolent desires that fuel today's traitors. Enter the modern-day fluffer—an individual steeped in opportunistic duplicity. The betrayal here reeks more pungently than any historical turncoat could muster. Think of the gay individual, once an advocate for Joe Biden, now espousing the bizarre assertions of Bobby Kennedy Jr., only to later supplicate before the altars of Trumpism. What greets him? Not the inclusivity and humane progressive stance one might expect—but rather a perilous flirtation with far-right dogma. For Trump has promised, openly, to enact the largest deportation in American history—a cantankerous echo of authoritarian regimes past. So, why do ordinary people with ordinary lives embrace fascist ideologies? The answer lies deep within the complexities of human nature, manipulated by those who prey on fears and desires. The promise of stability amid chaos, the allure of simple solutions to intricate problems—these are the serpent's whispers that lead men astray. The nostalgic rhapsody of "Make America Great Again!" offers not a concrete temporal vision but a mirage, a fantastical past where systemic oppression reigned unchallenged. Yet, herein lies the most terrifying transformation. The ordinary man, seeking security, sacrificing individuality, autonomy, and freedom—evokes memories of the post-9/11 panic that birthed the Patriot Act, a legislation that stripped away fundamental liberties in the name of safety. The creeping return to monarchical rule, replete with overbearing surveillance—Ashcroft’s vile concoction. Stooping lower yet, consider the self-deluded—those who genuinely drink from the cauldron of fascist ideology, believers in the false promises of tomorrow. They are oblivious to the harm they incur, the lives they dismantle, for their joy is short-lived, and the infamy eternal. The essence of their actions is driven by fear—fear of the unknown, of change, of being left behind. But fear shall not prevail, not today. Not here. Not now. Stand firm against the fascists, reclaim empathy and compassion. Understand that the traitor's path is one of self-deception that can indeed be halted. America's educational erosion since the early 1900s, a deliberate manipulation designed to keep the populace quiescent and non-questioning, has only exac

    Ep. 60: 10 Pillars of Fascism | Tidal Wave of New Voters

    From Los Angeles, Rethinking Heroes with Cary Harrison - Rethinking Heroes: Unmasking the Machinations of Modern Fascism. Yale professor Jason Stanley, delves into the tactics of modern fascism and its impact on history and education. The discussion covers the manipulation of historical narratives by authoritarian regimes, the role of education in fostering or suppressing critical thought, and how today's political landscapes echo past fascist movements. They also discuss the current legal battles against censorship and the importance of acknowledging America's historical contradictions. Furthermore, former presidential candidate Jason Palmer shares his ambitious plan to register a million new young voters, leveraging technology and the influence of college athletes. This episode serves as a call to action to stay informed and fight against the distortion of history and encroaching authoritarianism. The War on History: Erasing and Manipulating the Past Today, we’re tackling how authoritarian regimes, especially fascist movements, manipulate history to consolidate their grip on power. If you’ve read Orwell's "1984," you’re in for a ride through the twisted machinery that masks and distorts reality. Why Rewriting History is a Fascist Staple Yale professor, Jason Stanley, today's intellectual powerhouse, explains it all. Authoritarians love a singular, mythical narrative. It simplifies the mind and makes people easier to control. They dismantle varied accounts of history, suppress dissent, and enforce a unified story—one that supports their agenda and marginalizes all others. The Silent Genocide and the Erasure of Oppression Take the Holocaust, for example. Soviet regimes didn't acknowledge it, fearing that once one genocide was recognized, others might be too. Fast forward to today, and history is under siege—some presidential hopefuls are crafting "MAGA histories" that entangle the truth in such propaganda it’s laughable, yet devastatingly effective. Fascist Tactics in Today's Political Landscape Stanley doesn’t sugarcoat it—today's fascists aim to divide and conquer by exploiting racial, religious, and sexual differences. They paint a mythical past and use propaganda to justify racial and religious hierarchies. Despite their efforts, true history—people's lived experiences—can’t be completely erased. Families who lost loved ones to COVID, for instance, know the reality, regardless of the political spin. The Link Between Authoritarianism and Today's Education One of the hot topics? Education. Across the U.S., particularly in states like Florida, there's an ongoing battle over what's taught in schools. Admitting climate change or acknowledging the humanity of LGBTQ individuals has become a criminal act in some areas. The fascists' playbook includes suppressing critical thought and rewriting curricula to foster obedient followers—a grim echo of regimes past. The Role of Corporations and Legal Battles It's a twisted irony that big corporations are now some of the loudest opponents of these fascist strategies. Major book publishers have taken a stand against censorship, suing states that ban books and ideas from schools and public libraries. Corporations, once the problem, are now part of the resistance—delicious paradox, indeed. Jason Stanley: Knowledge as an Arm Against Authoritarianism Stanley argues that knowledge alone isn't a safeguard against fascism. Some of history’s sharpest minds were fascists themselves, using their intellect to wield power ruthlessly. Thus, it's not just about education but what kind of education and to what end. America's Historical Paradoxes Harrison dives into America's founding sins—slavery, manifest destiny, genocides. Facing history head-on is crucial. America can’t shy away from its past; confronting it is the only path to genuine progress and democracy. The Future of History and Education Harrison and Stanley spell out the future if figures like Trump reclaim

    Ep. 59: Supreme Court: Presidential Crime OK

    From Los Angeles, Rethinking Heroes with Cary Harrison presents an eye-opening discussion on the recent Supreme Court ruling that grants unprecedented powers of immunity to the sitting President of the United States. This episode dives deep into the implications of the court’s decision, featuring viewpoints from experts in the field, including Professor Francis Boyle, a renowned International Law professor at the University of Illinois and widely published author and globally-recognized legal scholar. Exploring the Boundaries of Presidential Power The show opens with an introduction by Cary Harrison, setting the stage for a robust exploration of what this ruling means for America, unearthing uncomfortable truths and challenges listener/viewers to grapple with the consequences of such judicial decisions. Harrison, recognized for his investigative prowess in journalism, does not shy away from contentious issues. His monologue effectively underscores the gravity of the Supreme Court’s decision. The central question of whether the President of the United States is truly above the law is examined in detail, with historical context and present-day implications considered. Supreme Court’s Decision in Trump vs. United States Cary Harrison critiques the Supreme Court's decision, describing it as a move that essentially lifts the President to a king-like status. This sentiment is best captured in his recount of Justice Kavanaugh’s arguments during the case. Particularly striking is Kavanaugh's hypothetical scenario where a President orchestrating a coup d'etat might be considered engaging in an "official act" and thus be safeguarded from prosecution. Professor Francis Boyle joins the discussion to provide expert analysis. He echoes Harrison’s concerns and draws chilling parallels to historical events. Boyle equates the January 6th attacks to Hitler’s Munich Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, suggesting a frightening trajectory for American democracy. The conversation with Boyle reveals a deep-seated fear among legal experts—that this decision could effectively insulate the President from any form of criminal liability, undermining the rule of law. The Realities and Consequences of the Ruling Harrison dives deeper, illustrating the absurdity of what could transpire under this new judicial protection. He paints a vivid picture: a President could theoretically commit heinous acts under the guise of performing "official duties" and consequently be immune from prosecution. The discussion extends to cover various legal and political ramifications, including the controversial ‘Project 2025’ which aims at dismantling significant aspects of government and public welfare. Professor Boyle offers solutions, such as counterpacking the Supreme Court to balance the ideological scales skewed by years of strategic judicial appointments by Republican Presidents. This approach, he argues, is a necessary countermeasure to restore equilibrium and prevent the further degradation of constitutional governance. The Role of Civil Resistance Reflecting on historical and contemporary advocacy, Boyle stresses the importance of civil resistance. He advocates for peaceful, non-violent protest, invoking the spirit of previous movements that have shaped American policy and public opinion. His insights suggest a way for citizens to take action despite institutional failings. Precedents in International Law and Current Affairs The conversation broadens to international implications, including the U.S.'s continuing arms support to Israel amid allegations of violations of several U.S. laws. Boyle’s legal expertise underscores the gravity of the situation, criticizing actions that might be rendered untouchable by the recent Supreme Court decision. Then, ‘Open-Phones’ Callers from various backgrounds share their thoughts, urging action and expressing deep-seated fears about the future of American democracy under such legal precedents. The dialogue undersco

    Ep. 57: Unlocking Your Brain Potential with Dr. Patrick Porter:

    The Significance of Neuroplasticity Neuroplasticity is the brain's remarkable capacity to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. As Dr. Patrick Porter explains, “If you have neuroplasticity, you can make decisions, sleep better, and transform your cognitive abilities.” This ability of the brain to adapt and reshape is fundamental to improving mental health and reducing conditions such as anxiety and stress. The Science Behind Brain Fitness Throughout the conversation, Dr. Porter delves deep into the scientific principles underlying BrainTap. By balancing the brain's energy through light and sound frequencies, BrainTap helps synchronize the brain hemispheres, overcoming issues such as ADD and ADHD. The device activates different regions of the brain through specific frequencies, making it accessible even to those with hearing impairments. Real-World Applications and Success Stories One of the compelling aspects of BrainTap is its evidence-based success. Dr. Porter shares numerous anecdotes and research findings, including studies where BrainTap helped people off the dementia scale within six weeks. Such results underscore the powerful impact of brainwave entrainment in boosting cognitive function and overall brain health. The Future of Brain Fitness: Education and Beyond BrainTap is pioneering new frontiers, including applications in education. Schools utilizing BrainTap for "brain prep" have reported significant improvements in students' performance and engagement. Dr. Porter’s collaboration with educational institutions like Seminole College highlights the potential of BrainTap to enhance learning outcomes. Stress Reduction and Mental Well-Being Addressing stress is a critical component of BrainTap's functionality. Dr. Porter explains that stress is more fattening than chocolate, as it triggers physiological responses that store fat. BrainTap helps mitigate stress, thus contributing to weight management and overall well-being. It encourages users to view life as a challenge rather than a threat, significantly enhancing mental resilience. Optimizing Sleep for Cognitive Health Adequate sleep is indispensable for cognitive health. Dr. Porter emphasizes the importance of deep sleep for brain detoxification and memory consolidation. BrainTap supports users in achieving optimal sleep patterns, ensuring they receive the restorative benefits necessary for peak brain performance. A Lifesaving Tool for Veterans and PTSD Sufferers Dr. Porter discusses the critical role BrainTap can play in supporting veterans suffering from PTSD. By integrating BrainTap with psychedelic treatments, there is a promising pathway to help veterans and others dealing with severe stress and trauma. The device aids in regulating emotional states and breaking negative behavioral patterns.

    MAY 11

    Ep. 53: True Crime - FL Sheriffs Wrongly Arrest Top Secret Clearance Vet.

    In the latest episode of "Rethinking Heroes with Cary Harrison," we feature critical discussions on the consequences of wrongful arrests, highlighting the case of Ian Murray, a U.S. military veteran who fought to clear his name against wrongful charges by the ambitious Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Then, Open Phones and an actual AI-created video sample of Donald Trump defending his "toadstool-like penis”, as witnessed by Stormy Daniels under oath. This epsisode with Mr. Murray and more broadly through later phone calls, elaborates on the importance of self-advocacy, the role of peaceful protests, and parallels with historical movements. The episode also addresses challenges to free speech and activism, exploring perspectives on the Kent State massacre, legal restrictions on climate change discourse in Florida, and arrest tactics against activists like Jill Stein. It further examines the militarization of police, the US and Germany's role in the Gaza conflict, and controversial legislation against criticizing Israel. Emphasizing the significance of nonviolent resistance, the episode underscores the need for maintaining free speech and critical thinking in the face of power misuse and misinformation. **The Struggle for Truth** Ian's story begins upon his return from deployment, where he was unjustly swept into the nightmare of wrongful arrests, a plight that unfortunately isn't rare in our society today. Unpacking the layers of Ian's experiences, Cary navigates through the complex interaction between military service, public perception, and the often misunderstood realities of legal battles against unfounded charges. **A Veteran's Fight Against False Accusations** Ian Murray stood firm against the waves of misconception and defamation that followed a baseless accusation of misusing military leave—a charge that seemed as ludicrous as it was groundless. His odyssey wasn't just a personal battle; it was a stark illumination of how swiftly and severely the machinery of misunderstanding and prejudice can operate against veterans and citizens alike. **The Legal Labyrinth and Public Perception** Ian's narrative is a sobering reminder of the scars left by wrongful arrests, scars that persist even after legal victories. These battles are not solely fought in courtrooms but in the court of public opinion, where the shadows of misjudgment can linger far longer than any legal proceeding. The episode delves into the complexities of restoring one's reputation in the digital age—a task as daunting as any legal fight. **The Role of Critical Media** "Rethinking Heroes" also brings into focus the vital role of media in shaping narratives around public figures and controversial issues. In an era where misinformation can spread like wildfire, Cary Harrison's nuanced exploration of Ian's journey shines as a beacon of responsible journalism, providing a platform for truth and fostering a more informed public discourse. **Conclusion: The Continuous Fight for Justice** As "Rethinking Heroes" concludes, listeners are left with a sense of gravity regarding the challenges that lie in the quest for justice, but also with a feeling of inspiration from the courage displayed by individuals like Ian Murray. It's a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle many face in seeking to clear their names and reclaim their lives amidst unfounded accusations and societal misconceptions. In every episode, "Rethinking Heroes" not only tells a story but also poses a challenge to its listeners—to engage, think critically, and advocate for a just and informed society. Ian Murray's perseverance and the scrutiny of his and others' stories through this platform encourage a deeper understanding of the nuanced truths that shape our perceptions of heroism, justice, and redemption in the contemporary world. 00:00 Introduction to Rethinking Heroes with Keri Harrison 00:40 The Evolution of Call-ins and Live Streaming 01:54 Unveiling the True Crime Story of a Wronged V

    Ep. 53: True Crime Pt. 2 - False Sexting w/ Minor Lands L.A. in $40M Suit

    Rebuilding Reputations: A Hollywood Actor’s Legal Battle for Justice You’ll remember a few months ago we broke the story about now-dismissed sexting charges from the LA DA’s office. In what reads like a screenplay full of twists and turns, Hollywood actor Joseph Gatt, renowned for his roles in 'Game of Thrones,' 'Thor,' and 'True Detective,' found himself at the heart of a legal whirlwind after being falsely accused of sexual misconduct with a minor. Now, he has initiated a $40M lawsuit against Los Angeles County, DA George Gascón, among others, claiming his career was unjustly sabotaged by baseless allegations of communicating inappropriately with a minor - which was later dismissed. Gatt contends that sloppy investigative work led to a premature announcement of felony charges, which were later disproved by forensic analysis showing the evidence had been tampered with. The fallout from these accusations has had a catastrophic effect on his life, both professionally and personally, with Joseph Gatt estimating a loss of $40 million in potential earnings. Joseph Gatt's fight to clear his name and rebuild his Hollywood career is a stark reminder of the complex interplay between law, media, and the people caught in their crosshairs – including his partner, Mercy Malick, and attorney, Dean Pamphilis. We share insights into the flaws in the criminal justice system, highlighting the importance of accountability and the need for systemic change to protect individuals from similar injustices. 00:00 Explosive Follow-Up: LA Actor's Legal Battle Against False Accusations 00:24 Special Home Buying Hotline: Turning Problems into Cash 01:26 Inside the Story: Joseph Gatt's Fight for Justice and Reputation 04:52 Legal Insights: The Battle for Accountability and Change 10:00 Rebuilding from the Ruins: Strategies for Public Figures Facing False Accusations 28:04 Riverside Recovery: A Holistic Approach to Addiction Treatment 29:38 Closing Thoughts: Appreciation and Future Engagements RethinkingHeroes.com Follow Cary Harrison on TikTok: @TheCaryHarrison #RethinkingHeroes, #JusticeForJosephGatt, #LegalJustice, #MediaAccountability, #InnocentUntilProvenGuilty, #ReputationBuilding, #HollywoodInjustice, #SocialMediaImpact, #CelebrityDefense, #EndLegalOverreach This is a public episode.
