The Spider Network is alive and well, and it's learned to work with NGOs and hashtags.  (And before anyone gets mad in the comments: yes, I make clear that Srdja Popovic is a Serb, not a Croat.)

Fun fact about stratfor: guy named Peter Zeihan was a stratfor guy and is all over YouTube talking about geopolitical stuff. Wonder if it's part of some sort of scheme to poison the well.

that opening bit could a cumtown leftover lol

John Plass

Hell yes. Glad you’re feeling better

Did I say my family escaped prosecution in 1946? I meant persecution in 1944

every man a kong

This is one of the episodes I gotta listen to at least twice and take notes lol

Church is in session, all rise as we sing a hymnal from the CIA handbook...

this episode won't download to my podcatcher; it appears, says "Downloading100%", but the episode never lands. Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Michael have you read Kittler at all? His "Media and Drugs In Pynchon's Second World War" is pure D/C territory, with further interpretations in and around language, cinema and battlefield experience in aesthetics. Kittler himself looked like an absolute madman/D/C listener... Congrats on this particular Ep, so glad to hear from you again and to get enmeshed in spiderwerk. besos

One of the funniest, can’t-make-this-shit-up things about Jhanisse Daza is she went to Kent State University.

I've spent a good amount of time in Mexico City, specifically in El Centro, and one of my favorite things is talking to art kids from Roma who live part time in Brooklyn tell me why Obrador (who is incrementally left in the grand scheme of things) is a corrupt communist who's stealing from Mexican small businesses. Western propaganda is powerful.

I think you nailed it with the analysis at the end. Money saved here is money that can be used to pay a political brother-in-law contractor there. The fact that they were able to convince the western nations that they had pulled off a coup with some random dipshits on social media is probably awfully popular...

Another well wrought edition Michael. Even though I’ve been following the Bolivian crisis I still learned a lot from this episode. The following article is a relevant supplement to the discussion of “soft power” or “low intensity conflict.” It details non violence guru gene sharp’s long history with the Cold War defense establishment and the popularization of tactics being used around the world: https://nonsite.org/change-agent-gene-sharps-neoliberal-nonviolence-part-one/

If in Bolivia Covid 19 was merely an excuse for antidemocratic, authoritarian action by the state in service of global austerity, why would it be anything different in the USA? Why is it that American lefties can see what was going on in Bolivia so clearly as a ploy but when it comes to their own country they're clueless?
