  • Ep 35: Blood of the Lamb

    The tragic massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas has brought the divisive issue of gun control into the mainstream discourse once again. With Democrats clamoring for bans on AR-15s and long rifles there is resistance not only from the GOP but leftist gun owners as well. Inflation continues to pinch the wallets of the working class as consumer prices for gas and food continue to get more expensive. The Russo-Ukrainian war enters a new phase where both sides must endure attrition, with Russians slowly gaining a foothold in the Donbas region it's feared the Ukrainian battle group may get encircled. The United Nations for the first time issued a watered-down report on their assessment of natural global systems. That if radical change towards the economic system is not made "total societal collapse" is inevitable.

  • Ep 34: The Dial Back

    With the leak of a draft opinion from Justice Alito, it is feared that the rulings from Roe v Wade will be overturned leaving abortion rights vulnerable to state legislatures. Approximately 13 states have trigger laws that are set to go into effect once Roe v Wade is overturned, further highlighting the rise of far-right fundamentalism within state legislatures. Along with a baby formula shortage, anti-trans laws, and a white supremacist attack in Buffalo, conditions within the United States are reaching a tipping point. The war in Ukraine enters a new phase as invading forces abandon the assault on Kyiv to focus on the Donbas region. Even after almost three months of fighting Russian forces continue to demonstrate their operational incompetence. Tensions flare once more between Israel and Palestine as IDF snipers killed Aljazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh while she was reporting on clashes in Jenin.

  • Ep 33: Peace for Our Time

    Nearly a month after hostilities started the Russian advance has nearly halted as the war evolves into a new phase. Fierce resistance from Ukrainian fighters and incompetence from the Russian high command has turned the conflict into a war of attrition, many fearing that the worst is yet to come as Putin readies strategic nuclear forces. Global trade continues to face turmoil as Saudi Arabia floats the idea of accepting Yuan for Chinese oil sales, a significant step that could threaten the position of the US dollar as the global currency.

  • Ep 32: The Fate of Empires

    A new war has started as Russia is set on regime change in Ukraine, despite all odds the outgunned nation is determined to defend their homeland. Putin has completely alienated Russia from the world as the West and NATO move to isolate the mighty bear from the SWIFT system. Many speculate this may grow into a wider conflict, the start of WW3 and the prospect of nuclear armageddon.

  • Ep 31: Armageddon Now

    A new wave of violence breaks out between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. A continuation of decades of occupation and apartheid, as far-right zionist settlers continue to violate international law with their de-facto annexation of the West Bank. India not only faces challenges with their second wave of Covid-19, but also with cyclones battering the coast forcing over a million to evacuate. As more of the global population gets vaccinated the discovery of new strains highlights the continued threat that a viral epidemic poses.

  • Ep 30: Bittersweet silver linings

    Tensions have superficially eased as Derek Chauvin is convicted for his role in the murder of George Floyd. Yet overarching police reform is still a long way ahead as several shootings of African-Americans took place during the trial. The blockage of the Suez canal by the freighter ship Ever Given created chaos for trade and commerce, further illustrating the precarious state of the global economy. The covid crisis continues to burn in India and Brazil as medical supplies are stretched thin, bringing hospitals to the brink of collapse.

  • Ep 29: Pushing from the Left

    In the wake of the Atlanta mass-shooting, the United States is forced to confront rising violence against Asian Americans and immigrants. A result of xenophobic language from far-right agitators like former President Donald Trump and other figures. Congress passes a new stimulus package for Americans without raising the minimum wage to $15. Unrest continues in countries like Myanmar, Haiti, and the UK as civilians rise up against police-state repression and violence.

  • Ep 27: Fake money all the way down

    Hedge fund managers felt the full force of r/wallstreetbets as users bought Gamestop and AMC theaters stock. The Redditors caught wind of a short-selling scheme and were unwilling to sell even if all gains were lost. Market movements and activity create concerns of hyperinflation as the FED has printed a substantial amount of cash in the last year. With the acquittal of Trump in his second impeachment trial Americans now look to congress to send relief of any kind after Democrats already broke their promise of immediate $2,000 stimulus checks.

  • Ep 26: Meet the new boss

    The opening weeks of 2021 spark with an insurrection of White Nationalists incited by President Donald Trump at the "Stop the Steal" rally. The failed coup attempt demonstrates the effects of online conspiracies such as QAnon, and the influence of insiders seeking to abet further violence. Despite the violence, the transfer of power proceeded with Washington DC being occupied by thousands of troops. With Trump gone Americans feel relaxed under a new administration, although promises made during the campaign are already beginning to break.
