Middle Theory

This week on Middle Theory, Micah and McNonymous begin with a discussion about diversity: I mean really, is it fair to always say "MORN," "NOON," or "EVE," when at any given time it might be any... or all of these at once? We then talk about why the Terminator films may contribute to our ultimate demise in a politically-correct robot-filled future, and how all of this ties into Alan Moore's Watchmen graphic novel.

Moore's classic (as well as the film rendition based on it) feature a false-flag attack where, in Moore's written version, a bogus alien attack is carried out in order to mislead the public. A very similar idea has been floated by some UFO proponents over the years, in which some believe various government operations might be carried out with the help of a persistent belief in alien life... could such an idea ever be used in similar ways that involves artificial intelligence, and the growing fears associated with it?

Moving on to election news, consider the following obituary, which actually appeared online recently: “Faced with the prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, Mary Anne Noland of Richmond chose, instead, to pass into the eternal love of God on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the age of 68.” That pretty much sums everything up in America right now.

Elsewhere, Bernie Sanders, despite his popularity among young American voters, seems to be continually downplayed by the media. While riots and violence have most often been associated with Trump rallies during this election season, things nearly took a turn for the worst in Nevada as Bernie Sanders supporters went after

Regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the long-awaited release of a redacted portion of a Congressional 9/11 report, the New York Times recently reported the following: “The National Archives released a series of memos written by Sept. 11 Commission staff members, a compilation of numerous possible connections between the hijackers and Saudis inside the United States. The document appears to be a glimpse into what is still contained in the classified 28 pages of the congressional inquiry into the 2001 attacks.”

We look at these memos, and what information they contain relating to the controversial 9/11 report, as well as the FBI's 80,000 or so documents they've kept about the entire affair, and how the families of 9/11 victims are now being cleared to file lawsuits against the Saudi government for its alleged role in the attacks.

Finally, a leading spy chief says foreign hackers may be targeting presidential candidates, and new allegations about Donald Trump ask whether he may be connected with a former mafia-linked figure. Trump says it ain't so, but the character in question says otherwise... of course.

* Home from college, twin brothers go on “bombing spree”, setting off IEDs in buildings

Stop the press... hold the phone... or do whatever else is necessary, because we have breaking non-news to kick off this segment: Budweiser, the easily-disputed "King of Beers", has realized that as trends involving consumption of their brand continue to dwindle, desperate measures may be needed. Hence, just in time for the Fourth of July, the famous Belgian multinational company's American-style lager will be changing its name... to America.

Seriously, we couldn't make this stuff up.

With that behind us, it's on to some discussion about secret societies, and that "other" famous multinational company known as the Illuminati. Micah and McNonymous have noted a number of unusual synchronicities lately... could there be any connection between this infamous group and Budweiser's latest publicity stunt?

We then break down our analysis of the latest U.S. primaries, and whether it's legitimate at all that some outlets are playing up the possibility that Donald Trump might pick Ted Cruz as his running mate, a man who Trump says "agrees 100% with everything he says". Seems the rest of that sentence should have read, "everything he says about pizza." Oh wait, that's not right either, since Cruz obviously wouldn't like New York Style pizza, right? But we digress...

A recent risk assessment report issued by a joint project with Oxford University indicates that among the greatest threats to humanity in the coming five years, pandemic outbreaks and nuclear war remain at the top of the list. However, among the runners up are A.I, as well as "geo-engineering in response to climate change." McNonymous gives us a breakdown of just why this controversial subject has become one of such concern, and gives us an example of what happened in Uzbekistan within the last few years... applied to larger areas, geo-engineering could indeed be a greater concern than many realize.

On the subject of turmoil elsewhere in the world, we do a special segment this week on Venezuela, "the land of 500% interest", and the trouble Venezuelans are having obtaining food and medicine in the midst of the country's current economic upheaval. There is also the matter of the Brazilian president's impending impeachment, which will be a historic end to what was already considered a historic presidency, of sorts.

Finally, on the subject of Donald Trump's potential running mates, there is one name that's been tossed around in certain circles as a sort of "Anti-Sarah Palin". We examine the campaign ad that helped get her elected, which ranks only second among the most uncomfortable campaign ads we've ever found; in fact, one of them was so bad that your friendly neighborhood hosts have to provide "live commentary" just to get the point across. Once again, we can't make this stuff up.

* AMERICA: The new name of Budeweiser this summer

*

May the Fourth be With You... Always. After all, this week you may need it. 

That said, our story begins a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

A smashing win amidst Indiana's GOP primary has led to Donald Trump's chief competition, Ted Cruz, swiftly withdrawing from the race, followed by a similar announcement from John Kasich the following day; this leaves Donald J. Trump as the presumptive 2016 GOP nominee.

We begin our breakdown of what took place Tuesday night (following a brief acknowledgement of the presumptive Star Wars Day slogan, "May the Fourth be with you"), with an analysis of Cruz's departure, and the quick change in demeanor we see in Trump afterward. Trump has, for instance, toned down his rhetoric almost instantly, and GOP party leaders are now beginning to cozy up to him in advance of the ensuing election. In addition to the surprise capture of the GOP by Trump, we examine some of the unusual claims that have peppered the campaign trail, which include the insinuation that Ted Cruz's father had been involved with the JFK assassination, as well as a "behind the scenes" look at what some members of the media have agreed to do with Trump as far as asking "hard questions" on camera.

We then examine recent developments in the world of unelected bureaucrats are spiking taxes, as well as the CIA director claiming information that may link Saudi Arabia to 911 could be "inaccurate", along with President Barack Obama's admission of failure to even read the relevant portion of the aforementioned document.

On this edition of Middle Theory, McNonymous returns from a death-defying trip across Iceland to join Micah as they kick off this week's program by first examining a claim that the late Christopher Hitchens, political firebrand and author of books that include God is Not Great, may have considered religion toward the end of his life... or at very least, that he may have questioned the existence of God, rather than dismissing the concept of a creator as is widely thought. We follow this segment with a retelling of McNonymous's own brush with near-death, and how our life experiences that push our personal limits can change the way we look at world events and political ideologies.

Then as an "overture" in advance of discussion of news and current events, we revisit a rather poignant clip from the film My Dinner With Andre, which effectively summarizes many aspects of the "hidden" world around us today. With that, we examine a strange disappearance of a man from Micah's own neighborhood, who purportedly vanished one week ago under unusual circumstances.

Then we shift our attention to the late singer Prince, recognizes as an honorary member of The World’s Most Secret Society, who was discovered in his Paisley Park home and pronounced dead last week at age 57. His beliefs and influences covered a range of subjects, which included conspiracies involving chemtrails and other controversial subjects, as we examine during this portion of the program.

Finally, we examine a Huntsville, AL couple evicted for unsafe living conditions, due to taking their home "off the grid" (and thereby violating city zoning ordinances), as well as how the Oklahoma Legislature plans to close a loophole that allowed for exoneration of a rape suspect.

This week on Middle Theory, Micah is joined by guest co-host Matt Oakley, longtime compatriot and senior fellow of the World's Most Secret Society, as McNonymous is tracing perilous paths across southern Iceland (including a nearly death-defying drop by the country's largest waterfall... more on than next week).

Meanwhile, all hell is breaking loose in North Carolina, where Matt and Micah are attempting to make sense of the madness following the controversial HB2 bill, in response to which Britain has issued a warning to English travelers that some may face discrimination while traveling in parts of the United States. No, the recent controversial legislation in North Carolina does not represent the beliefs of all who live here... although during the resulting boycott, PayPal has refused to bring one of its headquarters to the state, and Bruce Springsteen cancelled a concert here (which Matt Oakley had tickets for). Micah expresses why he thinks it is absurd to consider leaving the state on account of the legislation, and Matt joins in discussing the issue of those refusing to visit or do business here.

Then we begin examining the ongoing allegations of "election rigging", in a conversation that examines the role the press plays in the affair, as well as measures instituted to switch ballots electronically, and questions over Hillary Clinton's delegate wins (in spite of Bernie Sanders actually winning the popular vote in some instances). We also take a moment to examine some of the news pertaining to Bernie Sanders releasing his tax returns, which show that he makes less in a year than Clinton has made during a single speech. However, is there more to Sanders and his income, particularly as it relates to the percentages of federal tax that the Vermont Senator actually pays annually? Matt Oakley gives us an interesting analysis, and asks if it's in line with Sanders and his campaign's focus on economic equality during this election season.

Finally, one name comes to mind throughout all of this week's discussion: that of the late great philosopher of our time, George Carlin, regarded as a patron saint among members of The World's Most Secret Society. As we conclude, we revisit some of Carlin's crass ideas about the subject of the election process, as well as "game-rigging"... maybe he was more right than many of us realized.

Finally, we look at an interesting pair of stories; one involving the single, scant mention made by TIME pertaining to the Panama Papers scandal, and what single keyword they used that illustrated how the global elite operate in the world today. Elsewhere, why are President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan now lobbying against the release of new information pertaining to Saudi Arabia? Maybe it's because the Saudis are threatening to withdraw billions of dollars in assets if previously redacted portions of a Congressional inquiry into the cause behind 9-11?

* Sanders Made Less in a YEAR than Hillary Made in a Single Speech

In the wake of the release of the Panama Papers, all hell is breaking loose in Iceland, with the resignation of the country's Prime Minister. This, and other happenings in the news, are all featured on this edition of Middle Theory.

While traveling in the Lone Star State, Micah recounts his visit to the Dallas Motorcade, and the famous Sixth Floor Museum commemorating the life, and assassination, of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. McNonymous joins Micah in covering the history, and the theories about conspiracy that may have been afoot that dark day in Dallas.

With the revelations about the Mossack Fonseca company's involvement in offshore tax loophole schemes, world leaders are being outed for their involvement in keeping billions off the record. We cover the most significant revelations from what is being called the "Biggest Document Leak in History", in addition to addressing Mossack Fonseca’s response to the Panama Papers. Of the biggest stories since the release, Iceland's President declined a call to dissolve parliament in wake of Panama Papers, and subsequently resigned during the ensuing controversy.

Brussels, it is said, is the epicenter of the European Union and its operations. “Through the Brussels attacks, the whole of Europe has been hit,” French President Francois Hollande reportedly said, in the aftermath of the attacks that occurred there earlier this week.

Elsewhere, EU headquarters were attacked in Mali, further solidifying the Islamic State's defiance toward the ideals of the Western World. Amidst the confusion surrounding the Brussels Airport and Metro Explosions, a suspected fourth suspect is currently still being sought, with evacuations of nearby areas including the Tihange nuclear power plant.

Without further being said of the incidents in Brussels, and elsewhere, our hearts go out to the victims, and their families. Our prayers are with you.

Meanwhile in America, Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has called for 'surveillance of Muslims on US soil' after the Brussels attacks, shortly after claiming victory in the Arizona primary, while his nearest competition, Ted Cruz, topped out in Utah caucuses.

Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders also emerged with victory in Utah's Democratic caucuses, while all hell has broken loose in Arizona, where the Democratic Party has announced plans to investigate accusations of election fraud after Clinton's win in the state.

MORN, NOON, or EVE to you wherever you may be, members of the World's Most Secret Society! On this special edition of Middle Theory, the 2016 political fracas is well underway, and hence, The Mouth and McNonymous are on the job, in like Flint, and locked and loaded with analysis of the field, the primary candidates, the criticisms against them, and our projections for what this could mean for America.

As this primary season has unfolded, it is become evident that the American populace has become increasingly disenfranchised with the establishment, and it's prospective presidential hopefuls. In response, while Donald J Trump surges at ahead as the republican front runner, others are"Feeling the Bern" as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders presents a formidable opposition (progressive neocon-establishment elitist) Hillary Clinton.

Elsewhere, text moguls and officials on both sides of the political fence have Rich treated to a secretive location of the Georgia coast, where a meeting has been underway to inshore that the anti-establishment movement doesn't gain further traction in the months leading up to November's election. What is the modus operandi of the "Sea Island Gang," and what is it's relationship to the famous "Round Table Group" that Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley wrote about?
