Riots On the Storm Part 1: Stadium Effect In the Inner Eyewall


Listen Later

Berko connects the global riots and protests of 2019 with the September 2019 drone attack that took out 5% of the world’s oil production in Saudi Arabia; the Wuhan Military Games of October 2019; and the genesis of the COVID-19 pandemic—and goes deep into the involvement of recently deceased Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Archie discusses Sly & The Family Stone’s 1971 psychedelic funk masterpiece There’s A Riot Goin’ On (starting at 1:41:13).
