Mechanical Freak

We celebrate our 100th episode by joining the new economy and getting into the crypto game. But as we join the new economy, there is something that we forgot… The old economy was still there, pilfering the paychecks of star athletes and sitting, Smaug-like, on its wealth as our new crypto landlords. Welcome to the new world (same as the old world)!

Why it’s been months since we talked about SPD and their multiplicity of misdeeds in 2020! Last weeks release of an OPA report confirming that they did some radio theater improv design to sow fear and chaos in Seattle is a perfect opportunity to dive back in. Oh and Kent can’t even fire their gossiping obergruppenführer police chief.

Brian reads an excerpt from Edwin Black’s War Against the Weak to Munya about a massive ethnic cleansing plan drawn up by the state of Connecticut in 1938. This excerpt shows that the United States had more than a minor dalliance with Nazi-style eugenics.

Munya, celebrity couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy! You really belong with the cultural elite in NYC, not here in this winter terrorland with the rest of us. But thanks for slumming it to talk about the latest failures of our federal government in the face of mass death, and the latest dunk over the heads of our local government by outgoing hero Jenny Durkan. Please remember us when you are a brand.
