It is in our nature to be social, but this natural drive has been corrupted to a point where, in order to exist peacefully in a group, you have to suppress your unique individuality or be shunned.  People follow leaders blindly towards the cliff edge, rarely questioning where they are going and why.  Why do we continue to behave this way?  

Technology and the Internet are double-edge swords.  We all live in a sea of radiation, the danger of which has not yet completely manifested in the public's health.  The Internet has become an extension of TV for the most part, though it does provide people like me a means to reach out to whoever wants to listen.  Being smart now equals being connected to information, though without context, reasoning and contemplation, information simply becomes distraction.  

We have very little contact with our food as compared to just 70 years ago.  We have allowed large corporations to take control of almost every facet of food production, but at what cost?  Historically, food has always been used as a weapon and it will be used again in our lifetimes.  This podcast is about some of the ways food is being used to guarantee our obedience.

Futurists talk reverentially about the "Singularity".  Cybernetic immortality masks ancient eugenic aspirations.  New cloud formations are appearing in the skies, but scientists don't seem to know why.  Is it really our fault?  The economy continues to slide down slowly as money and jobs disappear and college students are being advised to "shoot lower" than before.  Honor killings reveal that the caste system is alive and well in India, but there is more to the story than meets the eye.  

Individual human beings are being interconnected like circuits on a board and no one seems to mind.  Collective social behavior is sweeping across the world like a contagious disease, making life difficult for those with individualistic tendencies.  But who cares, right?  In a democracy, the majority rules, even if the majority is wrong.

The old "normals" are breaking badly all around us, but most people haven't even noticed.  Privacy is an antiquated notion, being "social" is the new devotion.  Karma has no power when everyone is self-involved. There are no consequences to your actions, so the Kabbalah has resolved.  TV is shows us the future, if you're willing to believe, or rather perceive. 

This week Erik and I bring you articles about current Bilderberg meeting in Spain, psychopathy, the falling standard of living here in the U.S., more on the Gulf Oil Spill, the reality of what people consider "law and order" and some science behind shaping public opinion.

Even the basic building blocks of life on this planet are not safe from the tampering of science.  I explore just a few ways science is retooling humanity for the sake of efficiency and how our minds are being manipulated to accept these changes against our better judgement.

This week Erik and Chad discuss a different take on the Arizona immigration law, the oil spill in the Gulf, the economy, DARPA's influence on our daily lives and simple cybernetics.

We in the West are living in the new Soviet system.  This is one of many talks I intend to make about the Soviet Union and what is to come if we don't speak out and try to divert it.
