FTN 281: Cybertreason

00:00 /

Jazz and James make additions to the JC impeachment org chart as the trial kicks off in the Senate, Jazz offers some pro tips for engaging hyperventilating normies, Soleimani reacts, and outlines the global realignment underway at the dawn of a new decade. In the 2nd half, the time has come to revisit AG Bill Barr's threats to Silicon Valley tech firms over backdoor access to encrypted chats, but this time with the ultra rich, rabbit hole laden context of Pegasus, Cybereason, Cellebrite, and other Jaystar startups and how they're inextricably linked to Ehud Barak, Jeffrey Epstein, the Kushners, and Paul Singer. If it's Sunday, it's FTN!

FTN 278: American Mephistopheles (Part 2)

January 9, 2020 by Jazzhands McFeels

Jazz, James, and Borzoi dig deep in part two of the life and legacy of one of America's most astroturfed founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. Little is known about Hamilton's early life, which is odd considering his prominent role framer of the U.S. Constitution, first Secretary of the Treasury, creator of the nation's first national bank, the architect of the inherently corrupt system of debt-financed capitalism we are saddled with today, chief author of The Federalist Papers, master of media manipulation, election meddler, and almost but never actually President of the United States. Rest assured, we thoroughly smash that early life in order to fully understand the identity of the man himself; who he is, where he comes from, what shaped his worldview, and ultimately, in turn, how he shaped the world itself. Only once one fully understands Hamilton from those perspectives, do the trajectory and context of subsequent historical events, from war to immigration and from finance to foreign policy, become crystal clear.

FTN 277: I Don't Even Like War

00:00 /

James and guest host Mike Enoch embark on a rollicking discussion about consumers spending record-setting amounts of borrowed money on items they don't need while hundreds of thousands of retail and manufacturing jobs evaporate before their eyes- taking the middle class with it. $800 car loans on $600 incomes, cash-out refis to pay off credit cards, and the plight of the 60k-a-year overleveraged yeoman worker; where is it all headed? In the second hour, the soft reboot of the Iran conflict is dissected in detail, alongside the increasingly paranoid reaction of Purim-celebrating blue check Twitter personalities. Then, a discussion on the U.S.' quickly fading international influence and some easy solutions to not be a universally hated bloviating world bully. Finally, Mikey ruins Christmas, some suspicious digits, and tales of the Kosher Clipper. All ahead on this week's FTN!

Jazz, James, and Borzoi dig deep in part one of what will be a two part series on the life and legacy of one of America's most astroturfed founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. Little is known about Hamilton's early life, which is odd considering his prominent role framer of the U.S. Constitution, first Secretary of the Treasury, creator of the nation's first national bank, the architect of the inherently corrupt system of debt-financed capitalism we are saddled with today, chief author of The Federalist Papers, master of media manipulation, election meddler, and almost but never actually President of the United States. Rest assured, we thoroughly smash that early life in order to fully understand the identity of the man himself; who he is, where he comes from, what shaped his worldview, and ultimately, in turn, how he shaped the world itself. Only once one fully understands Hamilton from those perspectives, do the trajectory and context of subsequent historical events, from war to immigration and from finance to foreign policy, become crystal clear. If it's the first day of 2020, it's FTN!

FTN Focus: Sellout Nation

00:00 /

By now you're probably very familiar with the insidious 1965 Hart-Celler immigration legislation. If you're not or need a refresher, go check out FTN 104 - we covered it extensively. What we've done today is put together the prequel of and sequel to the 1965 deep-dive. In part 1, Jazz and Ethnarch discuss the immediate post-WWII infiltration of American government in order to lay the groundwork, throughout the 1950s, for what was ultimately delivered in 1965. In part 2, Jazz and James go deep on California's Prop 187 with rich historical context of what made the systematic subversion of our country possible. If it's Sunday, it's FTN!

Jazz and James cut through the highly choreographed political posturing at week's end to reveal the impeachment process itself as a sword of Damocles that has, as of Friday night, already delivered at least 3 instances crypto-amnesty buried in both the NDAA and year end $1.4 trillion spending package with more on the way. No fight. No veto. 100% checkmate. In the second half, it's an inside look at all the Blooms and Roses of Bloomberg's ascendant candidacy, DOJ working hand in hand with big tech, the latest CIS report on Chinese and Indian immigration trends, and Allsup's top notch Christmas cocktail recipe. If it's Sunday, it's FTN!

Jazz and James put the schadenfreude on ice as they reflect on acceleration of media career death in 2019 as the industry continues to hemorrhage thousands of blue checks, thus flooding the ~~labor market~~ gig economy with newly-minted baristas and Amazonian indentured conveyor belt servitude. In the second half, it's Repo the Nation, Big Ag cries out as it plows you under, feckless Nordstream sanctions, and a second dose of D'Jugjeet Unchained. If it's Sunday, it's FTN!
