If James Brown was “the hardest working man in show business,” Independent Media can claim a “James” of their own in the art form of information. James Corbett is the man behind THE CORBETT REPORT.
Corbett and Ochelli discuss the ebb and flow of the information superhighways and the nature of the artificial information and organic awareness lost and found on the many off ramps and interchanges of the roads rarely traveled by honest presenters.
What is important? Is near all the world stage four of the cancerous culture confounded by its own language and the dummy load of loaded sentiment remaining silent and dying for a lack of comprehension.
How many boogeymen fit in the average American propaganda basket? Are you confused? If you answered yes then this revelation through conversation may be right for you. You may learn the frustration and motivations behind two different independent media presenters. If cognitive dissonance persists, immediately consult https://corbettreport.com and https://ochelli.com daily. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it, and that someone can be you.
The CDN band Chilliwack in their song Rain-o penned the line “if there’s no audience there just ain’t no show.’ What we in aggregate pay attention to and put our energies towards is what we in aggregate care about , which in turn creates the world we see around ourselves.

TPTSB create memes and the terminology to describe them (‘conspiracy theorist’ being the big one) as traps that can be used to discredit those that would disseminate ‘truth.’ Likely the Sandy Hook event was fabricated not with gun control as the main focus but in creating a trap for marginalizing those who would query its obvious questionability. The same likely applies to the Pizzagate/Comet Ping Pong event. These types of traps act as a defense for TPTSB through the threshold limits of the ‘unawake’ as to who is a conspiracy theorist, and therefore must be disregarded as a wacko. Or why the obvious bread crumbs to discredit these events. Other examples of created memes are the Moon landings or not, aliens, flat earth, shape shifting reptilian elites, lost civilizations and a host of other such rabbit hole creations that eat time and energy and brand the gullible along with the true investigator of truth as bona fide simpletons. If we use TPTSB terminologies we run the risk of having the tables turned on us more often than the other way around.
James ol’ boy you have come full circle. Now write the damn book!!!
You know you could do a best seller. We are in a post truth world. You are partly responsible for our being here. Now write the damn book!!!
You are burning daylight..
Brian.s, a most poetic tune. I hear music in those words. I also see “source” as love , and humanities fall from grace as the creation of money as representative of love and as an substitute for obligation. Which sadly it can never be. The mask we hide behind, Money.
A new propaganda machine unleashed?
Elon Musk-Backed Software Can Churn Fake News Stories And Is “Too Dangerous To Release”

I think I just lost some brain cells reading that “Harry Potter” chapter.
The ability of AI to pump out article after article of nonsense reminds me of the Library of Babel, where there is too much information to sort through. If they can inundate people with faulty information with ease, people will be trapped in a never ending maze.
My thoughts exactly. Indeed, it often seemed that Ochelli was the one being interviewed. Patience of Job, James.
MBP-recolt? Recolte? however its spelled it is a beautiful word.
In the feminine line; to harvest. Gracefully chosen.
Now…..
What in the world can be done with Ms.Johnstone? I just can’t figure her out either. She is a source of psychic discomfort . Please write her out of this
” never ending story”. The end.
James,
I am another who has been motivated by your work, inspired by your journalistic integrity, and astonished by your consistency over the years, churning out non-stop material while maintaining an umatched standard of excellency. Bravo to you, sir. Thanks in large part to you, I guess I’ve officially entered the arena as a brand new blogger.

Great blog post on an important subject, ekawAediW, and coincidentally enough my copy of La Boétie is sitting on my bedside table right now as I just cracked it open to re-read it last night. Anyway, I’ll include a link to your post in this weekend’s newsletter.
Thanks, James! Your praise means more than you know. And what a happy coinky-dink. My copy is within slobber distance from where I sleep as well; along with Konkin, Spooner and Proudhon.
What a fascinating, Fibonacci-filled adventure you’ve taken me on tonight, ekawAediW!
You’ve introduced me to the Golden and Silver Ratios, to sparkling Ben Sparks and vivacious Vi Hart.
Even in your above comment (of humble thanks to James), you sent me scurrying to Wiki to find out who this Konkin fellow is. Yes, I confess I didn’t know the name of the founder of agorism, much less that he hailed from the western (Corbett) side of Canada. Cool initials he has: SEK3.
The way you’ve woven the two goldens (rule and ratio) into one seamless garment, embroidered with not only the sparkles of Ben and the doodles of Vi but also the thoughtful threads of Earl, the sequins of Simon, and the gemstones of Jesus (as well as other great teachers of the universal rules for living a good life), is beautiful to behold.
Congrats for starting your blog, thanks for sharing it with us, and a plea to clue us in whenever you produce a new post.
I’m sure your students appreciate your wordsmithing wit, mbp. So do I.
CQ, one of my chief aims, apart from the obvious task at hand (of waking up my beloved fellow humans), is to re-ignite the spark of wonder and imagination that once burned so brightly in each of us during our younger years. There is so much beauty to behold in this world amidst all the chaos and destruction–somewhat paradoxically, at times–but as a dear professor of mine once said, we must never lose touch with our biophilia (the love of living things, or of nature), for it is the very thing that keeps us alive.
The eloquent and artistic way in which you craft your compliments is not only truly uplifting, but also very clearly demonstrates to me that you, too, have much to offer the world by way of words. If you aren’t already doing so, then I wholeheartedly encourage you to begin! There’s no time like the present.
Excited elation is all that is elicited from all these egregiously extolled exaltations!
Ergo, they must end, lest the ego endlessly expands to the extremest extremities… never to be seen again?
Thanks for your interest, manbearpig!
