There was a blackepstein RSS running but it's gone dormant for the last few months. If you wanna :filez: them there's a black epstein reddit community with a bloke who shoves them on mega. Dunno specifics, I like paying for the content.

God drat that Adam Curtiss episode was cathartic. I really needed to hear someone clown on his recent stuff and lo and behold the perfect people decided to do exactly that. One of the little things I really appreciate on Yungchomsky's production is his perfect 'smash to theme-song' edit timings when Liz losses it during cold opens. Just delightful stuff.

When the Dirtbagblackfeed died he linked another website with a bunch of leftist podcasts rss feeds but I can't find it anymore

Anyway I still have the TA one:

Thought the Adam Curtis episode was really good. It made me way more interested in actually sitting down and watching it than the Chapo episode did for some reason.

I'm not through with the Adam Curtis episode yet, but so far it sounds like three american dudes trying to figure out "what is cultural studies?". Apparently cultural studies never made it across the pond, but it's exactly what Curtis relies on: using psychology, marxism, anthropology and media studies to create some holistic analysis of society that more often than not is nothing more than a polemic/rant/shitpost, albeit an educated one. It's like the academic version of suffocation by your own farts.

all desire - the thirst for oil, war, religious salvation - needs to be understood according to what he calls 'the demonogrammatical decoding of the Earth's body'
I think Brace has said he's familiar with Curtis' other stuff but Liz is not. I think they are doing themselves a disservice as some of the criticism they are levying against his new thing was addressed more specifically in like Bitter Lake or Power of Nightmares. Also they don't seem to be engaging with the premise of this current thing as looking at history from an emotional lens.

I haven't seen the new Curtis doc and was wary about it even before hearing TrueAnon's (and Michael S. Judge's) take. The recent Chapo episode he was on was definitely less resonant than the first one, and Curtis seemed way more high on his own BS.

That said, I really liked most of Hypernormalisation, and even if it lacked a clear cause/effect a lot of the time, I think it really did reveal a broad trend over the past forty years in the political/economic/social/tech spheres of consenting to austerity and authoritarianism, mostly for the lack of an alternative (that anyone is willing to accept).

That's one thing that I think TrueAnon + MSJ missed. Yeah we may not need new ideas when we have socialism, but it's just not taking, especially in the US.

I don’t think it’s that people don’t accept socialism more than it is we’re just not allowed to have it. Things like socialized healthcare and COVID relief checks were hugely popular across the board... and our politicians keep denying us the things we want.

quote:

In his 2010 memoirs, Bosch denied having authored the bombing, stating that Castro had "accused me, without evidence, of being the intellectual author of the sabotage of Flight 455 and many other acts with which I had nothing to do."[35] However, he continued to justify the bombing,[34] saying that it was a "legitimate act of war", and that everyone on board deserved to die, because they "were all Communists."[33]

quote:


Upon his return to the US in 1988 Bosch was arrested for parole violations. The Justice Department, which considered him a terrorist, sought to deport him. He was allowed to stay, and later granted residency, by US President George H. W. Bush after a widespread lobbying campaign that included Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and the president's son Jeb Bush. In his later years Bosch raised money to support resistance to the Cuban government, and died in Miami aged 84.

I’m currently reading “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner, which was written as a refutation of the JFK-CIA conspiracy. It’s an interesting read and honestly contains some details that temper my conviction of the Agency’s involvement—the principal of which is Oswalds apparent life-long vocal adherence to Marxism. Oswald apparently read Kapital while in high school and got kicked out of a classmate’s house for spouting off on his love of communism.

No real explanation for Demohrenschildt’s relationship with Harvey, and George’s connection to the CIA is hand waved away with like one paragraph of bullshit explanation. The author also claims that Demohrenschildt was a leftist. Also no convincing explanation for the CIA address provided on Oslwad’s Fair Play for Cuba Comittee fliers. I haven’t gotten far enough in yet, but I’m certain it won’t meaningfully address Jolly West’s involvement with Jack Ruby. Should be interesting to see how condescending of a tone Posner takes w/r/t Jolly’s involvement with MK Ultra.

Oswald’s youth and record in the marines make him come off as more of a patsy from day one than a knowing asset. He seems like the Cold War equivalent of the mentally challenged guy who gets coerced into action by an undercover agent.

Case Closed has some errors in it - Reclaiming History is much better in the realm of "Oswald acted alone" camp and goes over errors Posner made. It's stupidly long though - the first couple hundred pages are a recounting of the assassination written as narrative non-fiction so that section is easily skipped and I'm not sure why it's even in the book.

In my younger years I was a believer in the conspiracy (as most people are generally and the film JFK came out when I was younger) but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Certainly makes me feel like the odd one out when it comes to internet leftism.

I ask this out of curiosity and not in judgement, but what's your take on 9/11? I never bought the JFK poo poo until the huge multipart series on 9/11, which made the idea of a small number of people pulling a ton of strings to kill a single person (albeit a sitting president lol) seem a lot more plausible to me.

Apart from hiding Saudi government involvement the "official story" is how it happened. I don't fault anyone for believing in the Kennedy conspiracy and I don't find it implausible as a concept really I just don't think the evidence is there. The only people I totally dismiss are the ones that get into the obviously false stuff like second gunmen and poo poo.

Reclaiming History was pretty well argued I thought. Bugliosi's work was extensive and frankly Oswald being an opportunistic attention seeker makes a lot more sense than anything else, particularly given the evidence he lays out.

Like his whole defection to Russia was him thinking he was going to be treated like Elvis or something. The Russians all but admitted they had people embedded in the US who had access to more US 'secrets' than he ever did. Couple of weeks in a small town working in a box factory and he was begging to come back.
