Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (6/6/18).

It simply baffles me how so many can allow themselves to forget, or maybe simply choose to ignore, all that we have discovered about past actions of the government and those in power, and their abuses therein. As well as all that continues to be revealed with time, and all that has been acknowledged and proven, such as the knowing and willful fabrication of “WMDs in Iraq.” Yet so many still seemingly make the conscious choice to once again trust the government at its word, today. Even while many of the very same people involved in that egregious lie — which was responsible for taking the lives of thousands of Americans and over half a million Iraqis — are currently part of the Trump administration. Regardless of whatever justification some may have for taking them at their word, which makes them feel the situation is somehow different now, should we not at least consider that they might be misleading us once again with their excuses for war in Syria, or any other location that has now fallen under the crosshairs of the US war machine? Of course we should.

A healthy skepticism and constant questioning of the actions of those in power is quite literally the foundation on which this country was built. Yet those in power today would have you believe that nothing short of unwavering dedication and blind support is worthy of the American title, in fact, anything less is un-American. However, this was exactly the manipulation used to quiet the dissident voices of those who spoke out while the invasion of Iraq was underway, and they did so knowing full well that those showing doubt were right to do so.

Still, many concede to the programing once again today, even though with the power of hindsight, we can see that those who were shouted down with calls of “conspiracy theorist” or “Saddam apologist” or “un-American,” by the very media and politicians who we now know were lying, were right to be expressing their doubt. So what is it that causes so many to ignore this justifiable cause for concern in regard to history repeating itself today? Especially with so many obvious examples of just how one-sided our justice system has become, and just how much those in power get away with, and allow to go unpunished. 

Whether we are talking about the ability of the elite to kill, lie, cheat and steal with impunity, or the willingness of our politicians to ignore the illegal and detrimental actions of the major corporations that line their pockets, the intrinsically destructive nature of US foreign policy, despite its incessant claims to the contrary, or the way the ruling oligarchy blatantly disregards the disgustingly obvious human rights violations of its allies while manufacturing lies about crimes far less severe committed by its enemies in order to wage illegal wars in the name of liberation, yet killing the very people they feign to be fighting to protect, the same question comes to my mind day after day…

To understand the world of politics and change it for the better, it’s paramount that people begin to study political theory and the ways in which it has manifest throughout history up into the present day. By bringing light to the origins of political and philosophical thought, the present day becomes all the more explainable because one is now able to see the logical progression of such manifestations.

With this urge to better understand the root of many of the common political ideologies present in the world, The Last American Vagabond has decided to team up with Keith Preston in a new podcast series in which the who, what, where, when and how of different political theories will be explored.

Episode 3: Neoconservatism

In episode 3, Keith and Tim examine what is commonly referred to as neoconservatism, which is an ideology that has come to dominate the politics of the Republican Party for the last couple decades, particularly during the George W. Bush presidency. Unbeknownst to many conservatives is the historical foundation upon which neoconservatism was built, specifically how its roots can be traced back to communism and in particular Trotskyism. What makes this so interesting is that many conservatives see themselves as being rabidly outspoken against communism, yet the truth is that many of the leaders they’re voting into power to represent the Republican Party are in fact ideologues with communist roots.

As mentioned in the previous episode, neoliberalism is the economic engine driving globalism. Similarly, neoconservatism is the muscle enforcing globalism around the world. Without brute force to backup these globalists’ policies, many nations would resist them and not conform to the western consensus. The neocons flex their muscles most notably by interventionist wars, such as in Iraq and Afghanistan while George W. Bush was president. These imperialist endeavors are often justified by claiming that they are spreading “freedom/democracy,” defending their ally Israel, fighting a holy war against Islam, and most notably, that America is exceptional and it’s our duty to take care of the entire world. At their core, the neocons are interested world domination with America as the undisputed leader.

Episode 2: Neoliberalism

In episode 2, Keith and Tim take a deeper look into what is commonly known as neoliberalism, which is an ideological spinoff from classical liberalism that tends to champion free markets and open borders as the best economic models for the world. In their doctrine, neoliberals claim that laissez-faire free markets will bring maximum prosperity to the world, but the reality seems to be quite different. When we study their actions over the last 4o+ years, we notice that neoliberals are very much in favor of state intervention for the benefit of the dominant ruling class, while the concerns of everyone else are completely forgotten. The obvious contradiction here is that the use of state intervention to benefit the elite class is inherently against free market principles; therefore, it can’t even be considered of free market origin.

When looking at the past neoliberal administrations and the policies they have implemented, what we often see is privatization of key assets in society, austerity measures the result to cuts in social programs and abolition of workers rights, international free trade agreements that benefit big businesses, deregulation of laws the hold corporations in check like pollution standards, and exploitation of foreign countries by the more dominant western societies. When adding all these policies together, what starts to emerge is an enormous wealth gap between the elite class and everyone else, mostly because the dominant class has free reign over most of the key markets and assets around the world, while at the same time utilizing cheap labor and defunding social safety nets. In reality, neoliberalism is the economic engine of the current manifestation of globalism, while neo-conservatism could be considered the military side of globalism.

To understand the world of politics and change it for the better, it’s paramount that people begin to study political theory and the ways in which it has manifest throughout history up into the present day. By bringing light to the origins of political and philosophical thought, the present day becomes all the more explainable because one is now able to see the logical progression of such manifestations.

Episode 1: Cultural Marxism

In this episode Keith and Tim Bryant take a look at Cultural Marxism, which is the transformation of the political left from a party focused on the eternal class struggle in society of labor workers vs. the elite owners of capital, to a party focused on cultural infiltration in order to weed out the “oppressors and oppressions” within society. Stemming from the commonly held belief that the workers of the world were bought off by the elite capitalists through consumerism, the left thought it was no longer fruitful to keep fighting capitalism. Instead, their new method of redefining Western society was to be carried out by infiltrating the culture and remaking it in the image of an equal world free of the old cultural and economic values.

The concept of Cultural Marxism is often referred to as political correctness, which is the creation of a culture where no one can criticize anyone because that will hurt someone’s feelings. In this PC culture, the white male is thought of as the number one aggressor and must be brought down a peg so the culture as a whole can even out, and all races, genders, sexual orientations, and religions can be equal. Many of its manifestations in political activism include racism, sexism, ageism, feminism, the LBGTQ community, veganism, environmentalism, and a plethora of other social justice warrior causes that aim to fight for the oppressed within society.

The goal of this video is not to put down or discriminate any of these causes, but instead to give some historical context as to how all of these causes stem from Cultural Marxism, or what Keith Preston refers to as “totalitarian humanism,

While many today never think to question the size of government, the truth is that this issue has long been the topic of debate, especially during the founding of the United States of America. While no one truly has all the answers and there may not even be a perfect solution, Tim and Jay attempt to dissect this question a bit more thoroughly to see what kind of solutions they can come up with.

This "fake news" scare tactic that mainstream media is pushing with every modicum of influence it retained following the extremely embarrassing yet revealing 2016 Selection, is all anchored on the very McCarthyist-style list that was quickly spread without verification and with zero due diligence by the entirety of mainstream media, yet touted as a verifiable list of "fake news." This was done so because it reinforced the establishment talking point that, "alternative media is dangerous and not to be trusted." So regardless of the list's veracity, and the questionable legitimacy of the site from which the list originated, the establishment narrative always takes precedent over the truth ... unless you are part of the Alternative Media of course.

Such a careless and irresponsible lack of research and verification(the very qualifying characteristic on which they arbitrarily deem a site to be "fake news" and Russian propaganda) on the part of the many mainstream outlets that published such a slanderous and defamatory list, needs to be acknowledged. Yet, many who still maintain the validity of mainstream media would claim that to be an off-base accusation to distract from the real problem, and that the list is an accurate and properly vetted compilation of fake news sites. However, they would be fundamentally wrong, just ask the Washington Post.

Quoted from Zero Hedge: 

In the latest example why the “mainstream media” is facing a historic crisis of confidence among its readership, facing unprecedented blowback following Craig Timberg November 24 Washington Post story “Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say,” on Wednesday a lengthy editor’s note appeared on top of the original article in which the editor not only distances the WaPo from the “experts” quoted in the original article whose “work” served as the basis for the entire article (and which became the most read WaPo story the day it was published) but also admits the Post could not “vouch for the validity of PropOrNot’s finding regarding any individual media outlet,” in effect admitting the entire story may have been, drumroll “fake news” and conceding the Bezos-owned publication may have engaged in defamation by smearing numerous websites with patently false and unsubstantiated allegations.

It was the closest The Washington Post would come to formally retracting the story, which has now been thoroughly discredited not only by outside commentators, but by its own editor.

This admission by WaPo requires some serious reflection by all those screaming Fake News at anything they disagree with. The paper's use of an unverified and now discredited list on which to create this entire witch-hunt, completely dismantles the entire fake news/Russian propaganda story line that was always intended to destroy any opposition(such as the alt media) and stifle any dissenting minds that might disagree or oppose what they choose to declare as the Truth; because everyone knows that mainstream media has never lied before, or manipulated the public for benefit.

It is time for everyone to once again reevaluate what they choose to put their faith in, if anything. It is beginning to become clear, especially to the many recently awakening to the propaganda, that the mainstream media will do whatever is necessary to win this battle for American minds, including lie, cheat, and fabricate entire stories or events designed to discredit those they see as a threat to the media monopoly they have enjoyed for decades. That has now begun to come to an end as the masses find their way to the light. However, once the light is reached, one still has to look; and at that moment of truth, many will chose to retreat and seek out the comforting suffocation of the State-sponsored reality.

In the past year, much has begun to shift toward a new and unprecedented path for the nation. For the first time in living memory, Americans are beginning to question en masse what is handed down by the ruling faction, instead of simply falling in line. This is clearly demonstrated by the last-ditch effort of the dying mainstream media. They are now leveling the absurdly unverified accusation that any alternative news outlet, any blogger, anyone writing slightly controversial fortune cookies, are all "Fake News" as well as the new hyperbolic stone cast--that they're also all Russian agents. 

As that is entirely possible, we all must ask ourselves why they are not required to give even the smallest measure of proof to back up such accusations, just as they criticize the alt media for allegedly doing; this is indeed the year of contradictions. Every list of "fake news" is quickly being spread by the majority of mainstream outlets without even the slightest due diligence, and are completely compiled by way of personal opinion. Using these lists to restrict anyone from publishing either news or opinion, or even intentional lies, would be and already is, one of the largest and most blatant violations of constitutional rights in the history of censorship. Every American has the write to speak their mind, be it lies, half-truths or the elite's Truth, it's all protected under the Constitution of the United States of America, that which used to dictate the actions of the country's leaders, yet now is seen as a hinderance to those seeking control of the American people.

Violating an American's First Amendment right doesn't even seem to make them flinch, which should tell us something. It seems the people are meant to blindly believe what is pumped out; have faith if you will, as if it's some new form of religion for those still lost in the lies, "whatever we say, it's Truth; whatever they say, it's Lies, no need to look for yourself." Mainstream media has completely crossed into new territory due to this election that clearly shook the establishment. It now seems to be grasping at whatever will give it an edge over the quickly rising alternative media that has stolen the people's attention and their trust, which includes but is not limited to, outright fabrications. 

In this episode we are further discussing President-Elect Donald Trump, with the new segment "Trump News," both scrutinizing him when he missteps and praising him when he stays true to his promises, like any rational person should. We also breakdown the Dakota Access Pipeline and why those only watching mainstream media are being manipulated. And most importantly, the rising "Media War" between alt media and MSM, a war on "fake news" as its being called, which includes the ongoing #Pizzagate story and how it is being intentionally censored by the very officials meant to be protecting the people from such deviant actions.

We advocate that everyone take charge of their own political education and actively do their own research and investigation. The power to enact change is meant to be in the hands of the people, but unless we begin paying attention, asking questions and getting involved, this country will remain the same at best, and at worst ... further fall into the hands of those who care not for the people, but only for their own ambition.

Welcome to TLAV Political Roundtable. In this show we break down the week of politics, and discuss its implication on American life, and the world. Today we are further discussing Donald, his "Trump Promises" and his overall direction, as well as the very serious, and very real scandal poorly named "Pizzagate;" which, if you have yet to research this topic, pertains to a massive pedophile ring at the highest level of power, and is quite disturbing. We do not enjoy covering such disconcerting topics, yet we see it as our duty to inform you of the Truth, no matter how unbelievable or unsettling; and as these events are backed by WikiLeaks and years of case studies and testimony, their validity should no longer be in question, only the extent to which it reaches.

Humanity is certainly capable of both extreme good, and extreme evil. With topics such as Pizzagate, it becomes clear that power and influence play a major role in allowing such extreme evil to go on unabated and unacknowledged by the many officials who no doubt came into contact with some measure of this massive scandal that reaches throughout the world, and back decades, if not indefinitely. Many who were confronted with this sinister concept might not have fully realized what they were seeing, and some likely did not want to believe it if they did.

Which is exactly what is happening currently, and is precisely why it is so important to make sure the average person is made aware of this story's authenticity, in spite of the mainstream effort to cast doubt and create shade for those involved. Many have attempted to shine a light in these terrible circles, such as Elijah Woods and Corey Feldman, who both spoke out about personal experiences with pedophilia in Hollywood and alluded to a much larger ring than just one or two perpetrators; and each was met with disdain instead of compassion; shunned instead of consoled; and that in and of itself should allow many to see past the years of propaganda.

Welcome to the first episode of TLAV Political Roundtable. In this show we will be breaking down the week's politics, and discussing its implication on American life, and the world. We advocate that everyone take charge of their own political education and actively do their own research and investigation.

The power to enact change is meant to be in the hands of the people, but unless we begin paying attention, asking questions and getting involved, this country will remain the same at best, and at worst ... further fall into the hands of those who care not for the people, but only for their own ambition.

What do you see happening in the first year of this Trump presidency? Will he follow through with his promises; even the crude and unnecessary ones? Will he lead this country back to a place of prosperity, or will he fall victim to the overwhelming pressure to fall in line with the establishment? Will he put Hillary Clinton in prison, where she no doubt belongs? Your opinions matter to us, so please join the conversation in the comment section below, because it's your thoughts, collectively, however "outside-the-box" they may be, that should be guiding this nation, and not the elite few who currently are.

A growing number of people are starting to unveil the plethora of hidden truths that are right there for us to see if we simply dig past the surface and think logically. It started with simpler truths like our media being controlled, the banking system being a Ponzi scheme, and GMO’s being destructive for our health, but over time the uncomfortable revelations have started to progress into much deeper and uncomfortable truths about 9/11, or the counter-culture being manufactured by intelligence agencies, and many elites being tied to Satanism and/or child pedophilia.

I know this may be extremely difficult for many people to hear, let alone fathom, but there seems to be a lot of truth being hidden in these fields of research. I’m not asking you to take my word for it, because everyone should research this information for themselves, but the reality appears to be a lot more evil and complex than most people want to believe. The rabbit hole goes very deep and has spanned many generations, making it all the more difficult to come to terms with. However, we can’t hide from these truths; and instead must learn to accept them and move forward.

One of the deeper and more profound truths coming to light revolves around the legal system, and is largely rooted in the unknown concept of what's know as a "legal strawman." To briefly summarize this idea, the major premise is that each citizen is by legal definition a corporation, which is then owned by a larger corporation, the government, which seems to be owned by a larger corporation, the Crown of England and/or the Vatican. So in essence, people are legally considered the stock of their government, which is a corporation in and of itself. This means that everything you think you own, is in fact owned by the government since they own you.

This didn’t happen by accident either, as it has been the product of a long and complex deception by the very same people responsible for almost all the other problems being uncovered by various independent researchers. In fact, the faulty legal system that people have been swindled into believing is real, which cons them into voluntarily giving up their sovereign rights as natural human beings, is at the core of the entire conspiracy to enslave humanity. Without this structure in place, many of the other games being played would be in jeopardy of collapse.

The goal of the following podcast is to introduce what exactly the legal strawman is and how it came about in the hopes that awareness on the subject can spark the winds of change and further the restoration of personal sovereignty. I hope people will strengthen their knowledge on this subject because uprooting the core of our issues is the only way true change will manifest. Please keep an open mind and do go explore this subject on your own, so we can take this knowledge to new heights. Better knowledge breeds enhanced actions in the physical world.

Plenty of sources will be provided for people to explore further.
