Disclaimer: the notes are going to be brief & the audio may be a little funky in places once again—w/ the occasional faint collegiate-aged screams & echo-y dormitory ambient noises, as I'm currently helping my wife move & settle in as she begins a graduate program, so apologies if it's subpar at points. I should be back to my makeshift studio for subsequent EPs. 

Hopefully y'all will find this miniseries fascinating, though. We embark on a forensic investigation of the uncanniness of the Lahaina fire; Chief John Pelletier's Las Vegas shooting "emergency response" leadership & the attendant implications for conspiracy theorizing about the fire; and an unpacking of the many instances of municipal/ state/ federal negligence, incompetence, &/or more that justify such speculations. 

We juxtapose this w/ a secret history of the imperial "disaster relief" grift known as the American Red Cross & the fraud & embezzlement scandals that have stained its modern history (Haiti, Katrina, et al), as well as its many connections to the DoD, its official monopoly on humanitarian aid in the US, oversight by the American military, & the numerous military industrial complex & weapons manufacturer donations the non-profit receives on the reg... This will set up an even more schizo & thorough secret history of the Int'l Red Cross & Red Crescent movements, as well as the Clara Barton-founded American iteration in the subsequent installment.
