Doomed Planet

#041: Gravity Payments CEO Dan Price sparked a mainstream media firestorm when he announced a million dollar pay cut for himself and a minimum $70K salary for all his employees. He also got sued by his brother and accused of abuse by his ex-wife. Dan owns mansions and a yacht and almost 75% of privately held Gravity and makes 25K per speech. When COVID hit his employees took a voluntary pay cut. Dan Price: the biggest virtue signaling hypocrite to ever walk the face of this planet.

#040: Taking bribes, beating up suspects, planting drugs on them, seducing victims of domestic violence, sleeping with informants, abusing cocaine and targeting homosexuals and minorities for abuse: Bernie Lau was a typical Seattle Police officer in the 1970s.

This is the story of undercover SPD narc and Aikido master Bernie Lau - in his own words.

#039: Voters in Washington State have had over 20 chances to vote for Michael George Goodspaceguy Nelson over the years. In this exclusive interview we grill Goodspaceguy about his heroes (Trump, Musk, Tim Eyman), his right wing libertarian political theories, his net worth and, of course, space.

#38: Josephus Collett wet his beak in many different troughs - railroads, breweries, cattle ranches in the Wyoming territory. This widely respected Terre Haute, Indiana capitalist was less evil than your average American businessman, but capitalism is a crime - a crime against humanity and against the health of our planet, and that makes Collett a criminal.

#037: In 1983 three men invaded Seattle's Wah Mee club, hog-tied 14 people, robbed them and shot them in the head. One man survived and was able to identify the shooters: Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak, Wai-Chiu "Tony" Ng, and Benjamin Ng. It remains Washington State's deadliest mass murder.

#036: I Hate Cops, No Rights, Shattered Badge, Cops Are Criminals, License to Kill: all songs on the 1984 Mystic Records L.A. punk compilation COPULATION featuring nardcore/hardcore/thrash bands Mentors (from Seattle), Black Flag, Sado-Nation (from Portland), Ill Repute and many more.

We interview Philco - who produced/engineered much of the Mystic Records catalog.

#035: A review of Erica C. Barnett's somewhat dishonest but definitely squalid contribution to the addiction recovery genre: Quitter.

Erica doesn't name names so we do it for her. Her boyfriend "Nick" is environmentalist Alex Steffen. Her guardian angel "Josh" is writer Josh Feit. A "former Mayor" is Mike McGinn. A "city councilperson" is Peter Steinbrueck.

Erica blocked us on Twitter when she heard we were reviewing her book. Fair enough.

#034: Seth Warshavsky invested his phone sex fortune into Club Love - a website that harvested money from people unwise enough to give him their credit card information. He marketed the notorious Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape, was lauded by an uncritical media and helped pioneer the art of the Internet publicity stunt. He escaped legal trouble by moving to Thailand, where he lives a life of untold luxury.

#033: The All In WA benefit was a confusing blend of Covid porn, drone footage, celebrity shtick from local media personalities and corporate propaganda. Bill Gates got a cameo. Macklemore and his people dominated the program. Pearl Jam proved once again and hopefully for the last time that they suck. Overlord Jeff Bezos matched all donations.

The winner - Amazon!

#032: Medical pot dispensary owner Brionne Corbray was convinced to plead guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana by prosecutor and current Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. Corbray claims he was singled out because of his race. "What Jenny did to me changed my DNA. Black people are so tired of the racist drug war that we are ready to kill. We don't want to, but what else can we do?" EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!
