The Energy of Empire 17. Russia, WWI & the Turkish Straits

Mike Stone is the author of the Viroliegy blog, where he investigates the scientific evidence for the existence of viruses. In this interview I ask Mike about journey into that research, what it’s like to communicate a position most people find so radical and - if the ‘no virus’ paradigm is correct - what on earth that would mean for our belief in a scientific worldview.   Follow Mike’s work at: https://viroliegy.com/   https://mikestone.substack.com/

In the space of just a few short years Transgender ideology has progressed from being utterly fringe and the subject of comedy sketches, to being ensconced in major institutions and, in some settings, illegal to question. But what does all this rest upon? What are the metaphysical foundations of Trans? To explore this question I’ve invited philosophy professor Gerard Casey on to the show. Professor Casey is author of the book Hidden Agender: Transgenderisms Struggle Against Reality, where he examines trans ideology through looking at various philosophical conceptions of the Self. See Hidden Agender as well as Gerard Casey’s other works on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gerard-Casey/e/B0034OKK5E/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1

Antony Sammeroff has recently published a book called 7 Pharma Myths Debunked, where he casts a sceptical eye on this industry’s claim to be responsible for the increase in life expectancy we’ve seen over the past hundred and fifty years. In this interview I ask Antony about his research into both the negative and the positive side of this coin, how the pharmaceutical paradigm may be fatally flawed, and what a fundamentally different approach to medicine might look like.   Get a copy of 7 Pharma Myths Debunked here: https://7pharmamyths.com/   Follow Antony on social media and contact him for details on therapy sessions: https://www.facebook.com/rockstarguy https://twitter.com/AntonySammeroff https://www.instagram.com/rolledupsleevesfam/

With the recent rising tensions in Kosovo, Patrick MacFarlane invited me on his Vital Dissent Podcast to discuss the breakup of Yugoslavia. This is quite a complex historical event, with many complementary and contradictory narratives attributing the disintegration to internal and external factors. Was deep seated ethnic hatred to blame, or did the Slavic Union fall victim to the forces of empire?   Notes for this show, as well as details of Patrick’s work, can be found at: www.vitaldissent.com/243   To support the show and for access to the forum see: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB   Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness

Do people really recall incidents of abuse years after the event? If so, is a trauma based theory of repression necessary to account for this, or can it be attributed to a normal act of forgetting and remembering?   To support the show and for access to the forum and regular online meetups see: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB   Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness   Notes   The opening clips are taken from Mary Knight’s documentary, Satanic ritual abuse: “Am I crazy, or did it really happen to me?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzy-Vcl_bZ8   List of Recovery Memory studies compiled by Lyn Crook:  https://pages.uoregon.edu/dynamic/jjf/suggestedrefs.html   Lyn Crook is the author of, False Memories, The Deception That Silenced Millions, a book about her own successful lawsuit against her father (where Elizabeth Loftus was an expert witness), and subsequent research into the validity of recovered memories.

Dave DeCamp, of AntiWar.com, joins Adam Fitzgerald and myself to talk about the United States backing of the Gulf States ongoing war on Yemen. In addition to explaining the narrative of the war, Dave discusses what each actor's deeper geopolitical ambitions might be, and why the US is interested in supporting this mass slaughter of Yemeni people. We also discuss the role the media has played in not reporting this event, and the stark contrast with Ukraine.   Follow Dave’s writing at: https://www.antiwar.com/   And his daily news summary podcast at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/antiwar-news-with-dave-decamp/id1634341981 https://open.spotify.com/show/48AFvZfwI1X83mdf5ekiYn
