The Independent Riot Independent Riot

I adore this podcast and am so grateful for the work you do. I might avoid going crazy now that I’ve found you :-)

I had the pleasure of being interviewd by Jim Duncan for his podcast and WOW! You'd think Jim had been hosting for years, but he's both a rookie and a natural in the podcast game. Jim has a real knack for having real conversations with his guests about their beliefs, always displaying a genuine curiosity about their beliefs.

If you're sick of the same old left/right, hyperpartisan nonsense, you've got to check out The Indpendent Riot!

I do absolutely love what people like this are doing…..trying their best in their heart to be objective and find the truth on a number of issues. I do not intend for this review to be mean spirited, as I believe the intentions of this podcast are pure. However, it’s complete child’s play, I highly recommend checking out other sources for information on these topics. Hopefully the host will grow and learn throughout this journey, but currently his baseline understanding of how to discern information is so far removed from what’s necessary to get to the truth that the foundation isn’t built yet. I listened to the Chinese organ harvest episode, I’ve been interested in this topic for years. (Catch up, this is not new news) Several times the host expressed a reluctance to believe in this based on it not being covered by mainstream media. This is what I mean about needing to start with some basic understanding…..please do some deep dives, all mainstream media is bought and paid for by the same parent companies, it’s allowable content is dictated from above according to specific interests and ongoing propaganda narratives. Fox News is just controlled opposition to divide and conquer and give the illusion of different mainstream opinions, but they serve the same masters. Example, NPR…..look at the donors and who sits on the board of directors, and you’ll see the influence of the military industrial complex…..ironically, to my whole point, you have an episode asking if this completely verifiable and proven thing is even real……you can look through the archives and see how they have covered our military affairs abroad. Did they do a piece on the United States providing weapons to Saudi Arabia to commit genocide in Yemen? The arms dealer themselves funds NPR, so nope. I recommend listening to Scott Horton on such issues. The other aspect which is completely tied in to this brainwashing of trusting the mainstream media is how the masses have been trained to think of anything outside the pushed narrative as “conspiracy theory”, and then lump all those together. It has been declassified for example that we were planning to blow up our own plane and blame it on Cuba as an excuse to go to war decades ago…..yesterday’s “conspiracy theory”, todays accepted documented fact. Believing in that based on evidence doesn’t mean you think the earth is flat etc, but it’s all been put under the same umbrella to make people feel ridiculous for even entertaining anything that’s being covered up. This was referenced repeatedly, constantly comparing to Qanon thinking etc. Be wary of anyone who can’t stop dismissing everything as conspiracy, you will never get to the truth. This is phycology at play, and it’s working as intended to keep the masses right where they are. The massive irony in this….the host truly believing to be objective and rational without realizing his own training and brainwashing to rely on the corporate press and view everything outside as conspiracy.
