Facts to consider while listening to this episode:

-- Student loans are THE ONLY DEBT THAT CANNOT BE WRITTEN OFF IN BANKRUPTCY!

-- Let me repeat that: While millionaires and billionaires may declare bankruptcy so that they don't need to pay their debts (that result from poor business decisions) and gamblers may declare bankruptcy (to cover the cost of their debts due to gambling), student loan debtors cannot declare bankruptcy in the majority of cases. This is even true if a student loan debtor is low income, disabled or homeless. Bankruptcy protections were removed for student loan debt and only that debt. Why? Is our govt targeting intelligent people? Nah, our gov wouldn't do that...

-- Donald Trump has declared bankruptcy several times. Are you okay with that? Then why are you okay with student loan debtors not being allowed to declare bankruptcy when everyone else can?

-- Student loans are a form of financial aid offered to low-income students. They are supposed to be a form of assistance, not a hindrance, to help students from poor or middle class families to afford the very high cost of college tuition.

-- Students fill out cumbersome and lengthy paperwork to prove they are low-income and cannot afford college tuition in order to qualify for financial aid.

-- Why are loans offered to students who've proven they are low-income, and why would anyone expect that low-income people would be able to pay off this debt?

-- Students hailing from poor or working class families end up paying more money to go to college than millionaires and billionaires because they must pay the loan amount plus interest and fees. Should poor people pay more money to go to college than wealthy people?

-- Increasingly, many jobs require either college education or trade school training, licensing and certification. This has created a big business opportunity for schools (that are now run like businesses rather than places offering an education). It is necessary for most living-wage jobs that a formal education is obtained, and it is very expensive. Since tuition costs are so high, grants and scholarships typically do not cover all college costs so most students are required to take out loans.

-- The Democrats are largely responsible for the student loan crisis. This includes Bill Clinton and Joe Biden.

-- For many professions, students must pay tuition for the required "opportunity" to work as interns. Yep, this is worse than slavery. At least slaves don't pay to work and usually are given free room and board. Not only are these students not being paid, are working for free, but they're also paying tuition for it! Why are people not upset about this!

-- The corporate media is lying to you, distracting you with propaganda. Ah, but you knew that already. They don't want you to ask these questions:

Why is a college degree/trade school training necessary for so many occupations? What happened to on-the-job training?

Why is education so outrageously expensive while it is also becoming a requirement?

Why would anyone offer a loan to someone they know doesn't have much money and expect them to pay it back with interest? Is this a set up? Does the govt/big banks/big business want students to be saddled with debt so that they're enslaved by financial worries and can't get politically active?

Why are so many students required to work for free as interns AND to pay tuition for that? How does that help people to get ahead in the world when they are paying to work then graduating with debt?

Founder of StudentLoanJustice.org, author of The Student Loan Scam: The Most Oppressive Debt in U.S. History and How We Can Fight Back, former Occupier, and current Presidential Candidate, Alan Collinge explains the unjust student loan system and discusses his presidential candidacy.

This is Part 1 of this enlightening interview with Alan Collinge. Among topics discussed:

--Presidential candidacy: what he plans to do as president.

--How the student loan system, which was supposed to be a form of financial assistance to low-income and middle class students, become so corrupt.

--Both democrats and republicans alike have contributed to the problem. - It's a nonpartisan issue.

--Low-income students taking out loans to pay their tuition end up paying more money to go to college than their wealthier counterparts--due to interest and fees slapped on top of the loans.

--Is this a way to prevent poor students from getting an education?

Here's a short episode that is a friendly reminder. Let us not forget!

First, let's remember many people in Maui may still be suffering and that we weren't told the truth about the number of people who were killed and whether or not children were harmed/killed. Let's not forget that the fire and the way it was handled should not have happened. The Powers That Be are hoping we'll forget. So remember, remember!

Let's not forget about Maui, or Hurricane Katrina, or the "temporary" Patriot Act, or the National Defense Authorization Act, COINTELPRO, the secret police force called the "red squads," the arm stab mandates, the promise that the arm stabs were "safe and effective" and the threat that those who refused them might be denied health care, the right to travel, to work, or to spend time with their families, etc.

Okay, it's a lot to remember, but together we can do it!

On Sept. 13, 2023, NY Senator George M. Borello and Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox courageously argued against New York Governor Kathy Hochul's appeal to uphold a law that would enable the governor to FORCIBLY remove NY residents from their homes and have them thrown into "quarantine" camps. Parents and children could be separated indefinitely. Hochul wouldn't need to prove anyone was sick but could just have people sent to camps whenever she felt like it...

Two years ago, Episodes 60 and 61, we'd reported on the CDC's "green zones," areas being built by the CDC where people could be kept under "quarantine." The CDC's PDF has, apparently, been removed from the CDC's website. However, the document was available on cdc.gov, and we read through the entire document on that podcast back in 2021.

The CDC camps were based on refugee camps, like many that currently exist around the world. Refugees are people who are displaced due to political turmoil, and they are made homeless and stripped of their citizenship permanently.

I don't think we want this to happen here in the United States.

Speak up, people! You must speak now! Stop trusting authority figures and celebrities. Start trusting in people you know intimately--your spouse, sister/brother/best friend/parent/child, etc. Let's stop giving power to these celebrities who talk to us through screens.

Back in 2005, a hurricane caused a lot of damage in New Orleans. It was speculated that some politicians knew the levees might break during the hurricane but they did nothing to repair or improve the infrastructure so that the region would be prepared for the next hurricane. While affluent people were able to flee the area, many people--mostly poor and people of color--were stranded at the disaster site where food and clean water was now scarce. Reports indicated that when some people tried to donate water or other supplies, they were turned away. The Red Cross turned away perspective volunteers, saying they already had enough despite the great need.

Similar sketchy reports are coming from Maui where roads have been closed off to traffic, preventing not only those who want to help or donate enter the site, but also preventing journalists from arriving to report on what is really going on there.

What is really going on there?

Are areas being targeted for being turned into "smart cities" going to experience natural disasters so that the WEF and Fiends can buy up their land and "build back better"?

Are these "natural" disasters just another way to get people accustomed to living in shelters? To losing their homes and be forced to share space with others? Will we all find ourselves living like refugees, on camps, at some point in the near future?

Many people around the world live on refugee camps. They are trapped in a permanent state of homelessness. Do we want this for ourselves? Do we want this for anyone? Why do people around the world subsist on refugee camps? Could it be that the same political turmoil fueled by corruption and faulty public policy is now coming to us here in the USSA? Uh, excuse me, I meant "USA." That extra "s" implies that the United States is becoming similar to the former Soviet Union. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, the United States is becoming like a combination of Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World.

New Yorkers speak out on dangers of 5G towers being put up in their neighborhoods. Question is, will the City Council listen? Do our local politicians have the power to even stop the 5G towers from being put up?

Americans for Responsible Technology (ART) contends that HR 3557 is a federal bill that will make it difficult for local governments to stop the erecting of more 5G towers.

On June 3, 2023, a hearing took place in New York City before the City Council during which many NYC residents spoke out about 32-foot jumbo 5G towers being erected in their neighborhoods. Many complained of serious health effects. Some said they needed to leave their homes due to health concerns.

Since we've known for decades now--long before 5G, 4G, or even 3G--that over exposure to EMF (electromagnetic frequency) radiation can be harmful, why are we still needing to explain it to our politicians or even to our friends and neighbors--many of whom will still accuse us of being "conspiracy theorists"? How can we stop this insanity when protesting and speaking out at hearings doesn't seem to work?

Will the voices heard during this NY City Council hearing make a difference, or will the PTB (Powers That Be) just continue installing more towers anyhow? What then?

In Buffalo, NY, the mad construction work continues. Something is being installed underneath the roads. Hmm... I wonder what it could be...

By the way, in case you are wondering, I am a proud conspiracy theorist! Yep, conspiracies abound. That's just how power works. Once people get power, they get together with others who also have power and they all conspire together to maintain their power and status.

Why is that hard for some people to believe? We need a term to describe the naive and politically uneducated.

How about "Naivete Theorist"? Or maybe "Gullibility Enthusiast"? Are you a "Trust the Science Theorist? A "Fauci Afficianado"? "Celebrity Pseudo-Science Addict"? A "Fauci Fool"?

Friends, we need to push back against the anti-conspiracy nuts and come up with a term to describe them because they are the crazy ones. I can't think of anything too clever right now, but we'll think of something.

Am I a conspiracy theorist? Uh no. You are an Authority Truster? Am I an antivaxxer? Naw, I'm an anti-authoritarian. I will not comply! Not I!

A strange, and very loud generator-like sound is resonating from the SUNY Buffalo's south campus late in the evening as some people were getting ready to go to sleep. The sound is coming from a construction site at the center of the campus and was vibrating loudly at 9:11 p.m. (Yes, it was 9:11!)

But... no one seems to notice or care. Wouldn't a sound that loud violate city ordinances? Perhaps it would if people were paying close enough attention to what is being done to their environment to care enough to make a complaint.

But who needs to live in a pleasant environment? After all, we have our screens to keep us occupied, right? Let's just sit back and let the Powers That Be (the PTB) destroy the world around us. Who cares? Should we care about anything? Naw, it's too painful to care. Let's pretend nothing's wrong. All I need to think about is me--Number Uno!

We need not notice what is happening to our environment. We need not look at people and notice how dead their eyes have become. We don't need to start a conversation, lest we are labeled as startlingly friendly, noticeably unique in our viewpoints, or, worse, as "conspiracy theorists." Do we humans need each other? Perhaps not. Now that many of us are autistic, we might relish in the social distancing, dance as we've been programmed to dance, love in the way only a robot can "love."

Everything's okay. Nothing to see here. Just turn on your "smart" phone and stare at it. There. That feels good, doesn't it? No need to bother worrying about what is happening in the world around you when you have a screen to keep you tired, lonely, and distracted. Before you know it, your life will be over, and you won't even notice when it's over. No, you won't remember a thing. Ah, but take a look at that screen! Isn't that interesting!

And if you still have any questions or concerns, just Google it. You'll find all your answers there. There's no need to read, write or learn anything. The Internet has all the answers. Just ask Alexa. She knows. And if you disagree with her/it, then ask Siri for a second opinion. If you still disagree, then there is something very wrong with you. Why can't you be like everyone else?

Also

Is democracy "mob rule"? If so, then what type of system would prevent the majority of people from having a voice in their government? Is shutting down the voice of the people a good thing? Can we ever have a system that goes against the will of the majority without it being a tyrannical system? Which would you prefer--a government run by and for the majority of people or a government run by and for a minority of people? Hint: the latter is the system under which we are currently living.

The only way that a minority of people can take control over the majority is through force and/or manipulation. Now, we are seeing both of those efforts taking place. Many people were forced to take injections in order to work, to travel, to live their lives comfortably. Others were essentially brainwashed. They believe that the Powers That Be (the PTB) are looking out for their interests. Even those who were injured by the injections continue to promote them. Preoccupied with their own self interests or just too brainwashed to see outside of the matrix, such people will continue to support the so-called Covid "vaccination" program, even while they are dying from myocarditis or a fast-moving cancer caused by the injections they so slavishly imbibed.

Like alcoholics who defend their choice to drink, even while they've lost their jobs, homes, relationships, and sometimes their lives, some injection takers won't see the truth even when it is slapping them in the face or (sadly) in the heart.

By the way, that was the late Leo Buscaglia speaking at the end of the podcast. At the beginning of the podcast, we heard from Mel Brooks ("History of the World, Part 1"), Mike Myers (Austin Powers), the late George Carlin, and Klaus Schrubb (aspiring dictator).

Exclusive interview with Klaus Schrubb, internationally-known aspiring dictator. As a courtesy, he'll share his plans and goals for our future.

“Cryptocurrency system using body activity data” is the name of the patent which was filed March 26, 2020.

The publication number of the patent is chilling as it contains the numbers “060606.”

Let's face it: the NWO are just a bunch of humans, just like the rest of us EXCEPT they are very wealthy and privileged, and, as such, they assume they are superior, that they don't need to listen to the rest of us, that what THEY want is what we all should want. Knowing that they are just people (crazy people, yes, but just people) enables us to see that they are not any more powerful than we allow them to be. So let's stop giving them power over us! Resist, people! Resist! Use cash! Socialize with other humans face-to-face! Stay empowered, not in fear!

International Publication Number WO 2020/060606 A1 was filed as an international application published under the patent cooperation treaty (PCT) through the World Intellectual Property Organization by Microsoft.

The patent describes technology used to connect humans with a cryptocurrency or digital currency system.

This podcast was recorded Dec. 26 during a tumultuous snow storm-wind storm.

Strong winds have been an increasing event in Western NY, but winds this strong used to be a rarity. Is this the result of climate change? Or something more sinister.

Nature has been doing some unusual things lately. Pink skies are suddenly appearing during the summer months. While they're pretty to look at, they aren't normal for this part of the country.

The snow that fell over Christmas weekend in 2022 was not normal either. It was hard as rock--no, hard as granite! A friend's shovel broke in half when he tried tackling the snow. That is unprecedented. What would make "snow" so hard that it was nearly impossible to shovel? Why did city officials refuse to plow the streets right away? It was almost as though they wanted to lock the people of Buffalo down using the snow as an excuse.

In fact, many people were unable to leave their homes. The snow was so hard that many people couldn't shovel themselves out of their driveways. Grocery stores shut down and some people went for days without food, heat or electricity.

Whether or not this was a "conspiracy," this should be investigated so that we can make sure that people don't lose power next time. Yet we've heard no explanation as to why people went so long without power and what will be done next time to prevent it from happening again.

Happy, happy Christmas to my wonderful, invisible listeners!

We wish a happy holiday and new year for all, for everyone everywhere in the world, EXCEPT those of the New World Order. (You know who you are, but in case you don’t… are you CEO of a big tech or pharmaceutical company? Of a major media outlet? Are you one of those employers mandating the injection for all of your employees, even those who are working from home? Are you a politician who implemented lockdowns, mask mandates and manipulative techniques to pressure people into taking a potentially lethal injection? Shout out to Kathy Hochul, Andrew Cuomo and Gail Burstein! What the heck, let’s say hello to west coaster Gavin Newsom too! Fauci! Gates! Schwab! Hello, hello, hello!)

For the NWO folks, we have a much greater wish for you. After all, you are so much better than the rest of us, right? (Laws for thee, but not for me!)

So our wish for you wonderful NWO folks is that you get your visits from your ghostly conscience—the Ghost of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, Christmas Future. We hope that you are confronted by the Tiny Tims of the world who can face you and ask the question, why?

Why don’t you care? Why are you hurting other people? Why are you causing so many problems for people you don’t even know?

Why?

Is it because you care so little about others? Because you only care about yourself and your family and the HUGE profits you are accumulating from all of this?

Or is it because of hubris, that you seriously think that you are benefiting the world with your mandates, your jabs, your geoengineering and your genetic modifications of plants, animals and humans?

We can only hope there is a force of good in this world that will speak to you in the form of a conscience.

Yes, we are recording this on Christmas day, of all days, to report on the snowstorm that has hit Western New York and beyond. In WNY, peeps have been locked down due to weather conditions.

One can only wonder… What will happen to the food trucks delivering food to supermarkets? Since grocery stores have already been running out of certain foods, how will this delay in food deliveries affect the rest of us? Will the food go stale in the blocked food trucks? Will they be delivered elsewhere, rerouted? Will this set us back in terms of having access to food?

When, oh when, will the average person wake up and realize that this is not “conspiracy theory.” Buffalo, NY is no stranger to snow storms. So… Why can’t the roads be plowed? Shouldn’t Buffalo, NY be good at snow removal? Shouldn’t that be our area of expertise?

How will doctors, nurses, EMTs, paramedics and other “essential” workers get to their patients? Will those who are in hospitals, nursing homes or other facilities be able to obtain healthcare? Or is this another lockdown, like that of Covid, during which many will die from the lockdown, not the storm?

Toward the end of the podcast, we talk about studies that were done on EMFs—electromagnetic frequencies—on the brain. Believe it or not, this very problem has been studied for decades. Long before 5G, it was known that EMFs coming from television sets could be harmful.

Yet here it is, decades later, and many people still think this is all “conspiracy theory.” If it isn’t reported on mainstream media, people don’t believe it—no matter how scientific the discovery.

So… maybe our challenge is not to convince people that Covid wasn’t the big bogeyman they were told it was. Perhaps our biggest challenge is to just wean people off of those screens!
