Jeff Sessions has been approved as Attorney General by the Senate Judiciary Committee and his confirmation is now a foregone conclusion. But he is a proponent of the phony war on drugs, a supporter of mass government surveillance, and has vowed to mandate encryption backdoors for “national security.” Today we talk to Derrick Broze about the latest man to head the Department of Injustice.
SHOW NOTES:
President Trump’s Attorney General Will Continue The Surveillance State
Attorney General Nominee Sessions Backs Crypto Backdoors
The Conscious Resistance Network
When ever they use the term “National Security” add the word “State” … Because that`s really what it`s all about.
I always enjoy Derrick Broze and his activism. Their garden has really come along. Houston turf and buglife has its challenges. Powdered cinnamon repels many bugs. Sometimes I mix 50/50 cornstarch and cinnamon in an old sock to powder myself or area. Orange oil melts those fire ants. The Dirt Doctor, Howard Garrett, or Malcolm Beck have great info.
I would encourage folks to really look at the solution possibilities surrounding David Blume’s landmark compiled research. These are solutions which include food, cleaning the environment, clean renewable cheap energy, and even alternative currency (scrip) possibilities. http://www.permaculture.com/node/518 and https://www.blumedistillation.com/
Yeah, to be expected I presume. Thank you Derrick for walking the walk rather than just talking the talk. Nice to see and hear of folks working through heart and hand, rather than solely getting caught up in these heady arguments that ultimately swing us away from the fabric that connects us as people.
I am curious about the website you recommended, Nextdoor, as a way of doing tax-less transactions. I understand it’s potential to be used as a powerful tool, but am wondering about the hands that have their sticky fingers in the creation of this business. Is the tool more powerful than it’s creators?
I live in a small island community of 4000-6000 (Winter-Summer) and a neighbor had invited me to join the online media platform “Nextdoor.” I had never heard of it and to avoid joining a social media organization not unlike Facebook, I looked up the CEO and funders of the project. Sure enough, it is the same grouping of folks who have funded projects like Twitter, Instragram and others.
Anyhow, I found this interesting blog post on Nirav Tolia, http://valleywag.gawker.com/the-twisted-history-behind-the-ceo-charged-with-a-felon-1576708150
This post goes over the CEOs hit and run of a “neighbor,” as well as, some potential PizzaGate related material, if that at all means anything to folks.
Thought it was interesting that if you scroll down through this article there is a picture of his “A-list friends” eating pizza. It says:
“Tolia’s so down, he can even serve pizza to his A-list friends, like this CEO dinner with Marissa Mayer, Dick Costolo, Drew Houston, Dave Morin, and Jony Ive in 2013.”
Anyways, thanks again for what you do and know that you are not alone in your work. If you ever get a chance to check out the San Juan Islands in Washington, we are and have been doing a lot of what y’all are up to. There is a vibrant bartering and trade community, weekly community events/potlucks and gatherings, workshops ranging from seaweed harvesting, beekeeping, fermenting, and so on. We also have networks to take care and respond to one anthers needs. Its a beautiful thing and although people are not immune to the pervasive nature of political squabbling, we all get along well enough to know that community comes first and brings life’s most fulfilling moments.
I myself farm, garden, do leather working, keep bees, raise goats, wild harvest food and medicine, practice herbalism, hunt, build, chop wood, carry water and countless other things I could have never imagined being apart of when I originally moved here from the city 5 years ago. Life has never been better and I believe it is incredibly tangible for one and all to peace out and integrate into a life of purpose and connectivity. Your intentions are the most powerful aspect of your being. Lots of love to you all.
Michael, You bring up some thought-provoking points.
gary, I agree.
garyegeberg quote: One of the best things about Derrick Broze is that he does not put down the left or the right, because he knows they are being played and manipulated.
Derrick Broze would be a great candidate to create a new term, a new nomenclature for agorism and anarchism and volutaryism. Something which a new person can quickly wrap their head around. For example: Anarchism is now associated with radical violence against free speech and trash cans.
That, and many other misuses, are the consequence of the war on words and language which has been going on for a while now. Dumbification isn’t helping, either.
