Today's show covers a wide variety of topics. We take a look at the latest developments in the stories of Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning. We discuss the bitcoin bubble and where crypto currencies are headed. We look at a controversial abortion law which was narrowly blocked in the NSW parliament which would have legalised full term abortions. We also present an extraordinary document in the form of a letter to the New York Times written by Albert Einstein about the fascist threat posed by the state of Israel.

Is a meringue pie in the face an assault or a political act? Today we look at this question in the context of the pie assault of QANTAS CEO Alan Joyce. There is a long tradition of "pieing" as a political act. Bill Gates was famously "pied" in 1998. Yes it's illegal, but many people who get pied are big enougn not to press charges. Not so in the case of Mr Joyce. We also look at the issue of "universal basic income" as a proposal for alleviating the problems of long term unemployment.

In today's show we analyse a letter by Pope Francis to the participants in the Plenary Session of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences in April 2017. This letter contains a savage attack on libertarian philosophy which is tantamount to a repudiation of the most basic values of moder liberal democracy. The basic message is in line with a Marxist / collectivist viewpoint which percieves individual rights as a threat to the greater good of the greater number.  It is hard to see how these words accord with the basic teachings of Christianity: Finally, I cannot but speak of the serious risks associated with the invasion, at high levels of culture and education in both universities and in schools, of positions of libertarian individualism. A common feature of this fallacious paradigm is that it minimizes the common good, that is, “living well”, a “good life” in the community framework, and exalts the selfish ideal that deceptively proposes a “beautiful life”. If individualism affirms that it is only the individual who gives value to things and interpersonal relationships, and so it is only the individual who decides what is good and what is bad, then libertarianism, today in fashion, preaches that to establish freedom and individual responsibility, it is necessary to resort to the idea of “self-causation”. Thus libertarian individualism denies the validity of the common good because on the one hand it supposes that the very idea of “common” implies the constriction of at least some individuals, and the other that the notion of “good” deprives freedom of its essence.

In today's show we examine the facts surrounding the US airstrike against Syria which took place on April 7 2017.

Today we examine the evidence that Milo Yiannopoulos endorsed or excused pedophilia. We examine this issue in the context of our ongoing study of gay culture (see previous episode on pizzagate). In his conversation with Joe Rogan, Yiannopoulos suggests that inappropriate sexual relations between "very young" men and adults is common among the rich and famous Hollywood set with which he has mixed. Yiannopoulos also appears to be comfortable with the fact that he was molested as a 13 year old, describing it as a sort of coming of age experience, and asserts that this is not unusual among gay men generally. Yiannopoulos describes laws regarding the sexual abuse of minors as applying an "arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent which totally destroys the understanding that many of us have of the complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships". As a result of the public exposure of these statements Yiannopoulos was dumped as a speaker at the CPAC conference and subsequently resigned as Editor of Breitbart News. Yiannopoulos has subsequently apologised for the "sloppy phrasing" of these statements, without totally repudiating their content. Today we probe into this affair and we provide clips of interviews with Yiannopoulos on 2 different podcasts. Related Links Milo Yiannopoulos Defending Pedophilia?! Examining The Evidence.

Today we welcome Brendon O'Connell back to the show. Brendon was convicted in 2010 under controversial anti-discrimination laws after posting a series of Youtube videos depicting Israel as a "racist, homicidal regime". After his release, Brendon continued with his activism and was charged again, but fled to Iran while on bail. He joins us today from Kuala Lumpur. Brendon talks of the infiltration of Australian security networks, telcos, banking and medical systems in Australia by Israeli intelligence operatives. He also talks about his experiences in Iran and his understanding of the political currents in that country. Finally, Brendon goes through some of the issues regarding legislation in Australia which threatens freedom of speech and his intention of taking his case to the High Court.

Iran, with the 4th largest oil reserves in the world, is a country which has been highly significant for the geoplitical strategies of Western powers since the end of World War II. The West has employed various tactics in its attempt to maintain control, including politcal subversion, destabilisation, installation of puppet leaders, sanctions, the lifting of sanctions and veiled threats of war. Today we take a look at the history of Iran's relations with the West and we evaluate the recent assertion by US President Donald Trump that Iran is the "world's number 1 state sponsor of terrorism". We also reflect upon the interesting observation that each successive wave of extremist ideologies and militant political movements which have emerged from the Middle East has been a response and a reaction to invasions, occupations and interference by Western powers, right up to the emergence of ISIS in the past few years. We further reflect on the way in which the anti-Islam rhetoric of the alt-right is perhaps softening up the general population to accept the proposition that a war against Iran is necessary and just.

In the wake of recent statements from Donald Trump on torture, today's show delves into the issue of torture in depth. What is torture?

In today's show we reflect on the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. We examine some of the key issues of contention in Trump's policy plans and review some of the earlier TNRA shows covering Trump's campaign. Other issues covered in today's show include the concept of "universal basic income" and its possible connection to the rollout of a cashless welfare card as part of a plan to eliminate cash globally.

Today we look at the recent volatility of bitcoin and we probe a little deeper into questions about the real nature of money. Bitcoin is certainly a disruptive technology, but is it really any more reliable that fiat currency as a medium of exchange? Will bitcoin ever be stable? The topic of gender and gender theory is discussed in the show, with a focus on what appears to be an attempt by activists to erase the distinction between men and women completely. Also in the show, we look at the Australian federal government's plan to roll out cashless welfare cards and what that signifies for the future of money and how this will ultimately affect our privacy.

"War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." - International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg Israel is a state founded in terrorism and built on wars of aggression. This is an uncontroversial fact, yet one which is rarely addressed in public commentary on the "Israel Question". Today we probe into some of the neglected facts about the birth of Israel. We demonstrate that the techniques employed by Israel's founding fathers have much in common with Islamic extremism from Al Quaeda to ISIS, and may even be seen as a template upon which these later nationalist campaigns have been modelled. If you find the above statement shocking you are simply uninformed about history. We further argue in today's show that United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 is merely a long overdue affirmation of international law and universal concepts of sovereignty. Full text is reproduced below: The Security Council, Reaffirming its relevant resolutions, including resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 446 (1979), 452 (1979), 465 (1980), 476 (1980), 478 (1980), 1397 (2002), 1515 (2003), and 1850 (2008), Guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and reaffirming, inter alia, the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force, Reaffirming the obligation of Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, and recalling the advisory opinion rendered on 9 July 2004 by the International Court of Justice, Condemning all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, including, inter alia, the construction and expansion of settlements, transfer of Israeli settlers, confiscation of land, demolition of homes and displacement of Palestinian civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law and relevant resolutions, Expressing grave concern that continuing Israeli settlement activities are dangerously imperilling the viability of the two-State solution based on the 1967 lines, Recalling the obligation under the Quartet Roadmap, endorsed by its resolution 1515 (2003), for a freeze by Israel of all settlement activity, including “natural growth”, and the dismantlement of all settlement outposts erected since March 2001, Recalling also the obligation under the Quartet roadmap for the Palestinian Authority Security Forces to maintain effective operations aimed at confronting all those engaged in terror and dismantling terrorist capabilities, including the confiscation of illegal weapons, Condemning all acts of violence against civilians, including acts of terror, as well as all acts of provocation, incitement and destruction, Reiterating its vision of a region where two democratic States, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders, Stressing that the status quo is not sustainable and that significant steps, consistent with the transition contemplated by prior agreements, are urgently needed in order to (i) stabilize the situation and to reverse negative trends on the ground, which are steadily eroding the two-State solution and entrenching a one-State reality, and (ii) to create the conditions for successful final status negotiations and for advancing the two-State solution through those negotiations and on the ground, Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard; Underlines that it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations; Stresses that the cessation of all Israeli settlement activities is essential for salvaging the two-State solution, and calls for affirmative steps to be taken immediately to reverse the negative trends on the ground that are imperilling the two-State solution; Calls upon all States, bearing in mind paragraph 1 of this resolution, to distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967; Calls for immediate steps to prevent all acts of violence against civilians, including acts of terror, as well as all acts of provocation and destruction, calls for accountability in this regard, and calls for compliance with obligations under international law for the strengthening of ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, including through existing security coordination, and to clearly condemn all acts of terrorism; Calls upon both parties to act on the basis of international law, including international humanitarian law, and their previous agreements and obligations, to observe calm and restraint, and to refrain from provocative actions, incitement and inflammatory rhetoric, with the aim, inter alia, of de-escalating the situation on the ground, rebuilding trust and confidence, demonstrating through policies and actions a genuine commitment to the two-State solution, and creating the conditions necessary for promoting peace; Calls upon all parties to continue, in the interest of the promotion of peace and security, to exert collective efforts to launch credible negotiations on all final status issues in the Middle East peace process and within the time frame specified by the Quartet in its statement of 21 September 2010;   Urges in this regard the intensification and acceleration of international and regional diplomatic efforts and support aimed at achieving, without delay a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet Roadmap and an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967; and underscores in this regard the importance of the ongoing efforts to advance the Arab Peace Initiative, the initiative of France for the convening of an international peace conference, the recent efforts of the Quartet, as well as the efforts of Egypt and the Russian Federation;   Confirms its determination to support the parties throughout the negotiations and in the implementation of an agreement;   Reaffirms its determination to examine practical ways and means to secure the full implementation of its relevant resolutions;   Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of the provisions of the present resolution; Decides to remain seized of the matter.  - http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/2334(2016) Related Links United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 Irgun War of aggression Six-Day War Zionist political violence Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine A massacre of arabs masked by a state of national amnesia Deir Yassin Massacre King David Hotel bombing List of Irgun attacks 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine

Today we look at the "war on Christmas" which has been waged by faceless bureaucrats all over the Western world, manifest in the spontaneous removal of references to the Christian basis of this holiday season. This campaign to remove references to Christ's birth is part of a larger trend in what is called "inclusiveness" - censoring all cultural symbols which are seen to be indicative of the oppression of special interest groups and minorities. This trend has been discussed previously on this show in the context of "cultural Marxism" - a phrase which is used to describe a covert political agenda to transform society by altering people's behaviour through new moral injunctions and sometimes legislation. The safe schools coalition anti-bullying program is one such state mandated form of social engineering, and today we look at some little known facts about the key figures behind that program which you may find disturbing. We bring you some quotes from a journal article written by one of the key advisors to the safe school coalition program: "We have three legal/social questions to win: custody rights for gay men and lesbians; the legal right of paedophiles and their young loves; and finally, the sexual rights of children as a whole." "I also have a friend, a paedophile, who is working very hard on making sense out of his relations with boys. Those relations consist of, among other things, a large amount of nurture and support for these boys, a real caring for their welfare and growth." "The current paedophilia debate then is crucial to the political processes of the gay movement: paedophiles need our support, and we need to construct the child/adult sex issue on our terms." These alarming facts indicate to some independent researchers that an agenda is a work to eventually normalise sexual relations between adults and children as part of on overall campaign to transform society and eliminate all forms of traditional morality.

Mark Zuckerberg promotes internet.org Today we take a look at the truth about fake news, which is very different to the definition of that term which has been offered to us by mainstream sources. There are many ironies in all this, the biggest being perhaps that the main purveryors of truly fake news are those organisations which are now railing against it. We examine the way in which the truly fake news which has been the mainstay of western media for generations has actually been part of an agenda to create a completely fake reality, within which people can be made to believe almost anything that is fed to them by "trusted sources". We further outline 3 techniques of "manufactuing" reality through control of the flow of information Propaganda Censorshop Disinformation We discuss the latest moves by Facebook Inc. to censor news and to also create their own "fake internet" in the form of a free service which they call "internet.org".  From the user's point of view internet.org is a kind of "walled garden" - a mini-internet which is completely controlled by Facebook and it's partners. It is accessed via an app called "Free Basics" which you can get on Google Play. Internet.org is not a nonprofit company or even an organization. Internet.org is a business development group within Facebook aimed at increasing Facebook’s users and revenue. Once on the site or the app, users are shown a list of icons representing websites. By tapping on an app icon, users go to what looks like a stripped down version of the website. Internet.org claims to provide access to the Internet for free. In fact, it’s not the Internet that Internet.org offers. One difference is scale. There are a few dozen sites on Facebook Free Basics. For a while there were just 38, but they’re continuing to grow it. These include Wikipedia, the Facts for Life health site run by the United Nations Children’s Fund, BBC News, a weather site, and typically a few local resources for each market.

Pizzagate Montage The fact that mainstream media has declared that the entire collection of alternative media posts which go under the hash tag "Pizzagate" are "fake news" is perhaps a good reason to actually take it seriously. In today's show we delve into this topic with an aim to highlight what we definitively know rather than engage in speculation and conjecture. This leads us into a discussion of the imagery which has been advanced as evidence of a pedophile ring from the angle of psychopathology. We examine the concepts of paraphilia and fetishism and how they relate to the images which were allegaedly pulled from the instagram page of the owner of a pizzeria in Washington DC - an influential Democrat lobbyist and friend of Hillary Clinton and John Podesta. We suggest an alternate hypothesis to that of most of the "pizzagate research" - namely that the bulk of of these images seem to be related to "gay culture". This hypothesis is not intended as a value judgement and we emphasise that no vilification of homosexual people is intended or imputed. DEFINITIONS Paraphilia  "Paraphilia (also known as sexual perversion and sexual deviation) is the experience of intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, fetishes, situations, fantasies, behaviors, or individuals." "The American Psychiatric Association, in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition, draws a distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning)." - source Sexual Fetishism "Sexual fetishism or erotic fetishism is a sexual fixation on a nonliving object or nongenital body part. The object of interest is called the fetish; the person who has a fetish for that object is a fetishist." - source Sitophilia "A form of sexual fetishism in which participants are aroused by erotic situations involving food." - source Despite the recent trend to regard fetishes as harmless, studies have shown that "offenders scoring high in psychopathy were significantly more likely to have a sadistic paraphilia than offenders with either low or moderate psychopathy scores".  Today's show goes into some of these issues and we bring you a short clip from the narcissism expert Sam Vaknin related to the subject matter.

We live in a time where political philosophies are becoming increasingly polarized and where labels such as "alt-right" and "liberal" are used with little care or understanding of either the etymology or the history of these words in English. Understanding the history of a word - its original meaning as well as the connotations and colourings that have grown around it - enriches our understanding of history itself. Today we probe into the meaning of the word "liberalism" in an effort to understand both what is good and what is bad about it. One variant of liberalism, known as "social liberalism" has become synonymous with western democracies, and has become an inflexible ideology in those societies. The malignant aspect of social liberalism in the West derives from its appetite for suppressing individual freedoms in the name of the "greater good". This suppression involves an ever increasing Nanny State interference in our personal lives as well as the imposition of endless restrictions on what we may do or say for fear of offending some special interest group.  Today we make the claim that "social liberalism" as a method for managing society has reached the end of it's usefulness and in practice has become an intolerable imposition on our right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In today's show we are joined by Seva Pulya, editor in chief of Russia Beyond the Headlines, a multli-language news organisation focussed on Russian politics, culture and geography. We begin our conversation on the topic of the US election and the way in which a Trump presidency has been received in Russia. We then move on to the Syrian situation and Russia's foreign policy generally and the way that has been reported in Western news media. We also bring you some clips from interviews with John PIlger and Ron Paul in the wake of the shock election result last week.

Today we begin by reflecting on the true meaning behind the Nobel Prize being awarded to Bob Dylan in 2016. It is key to understand that the main body of Dylan's early work was deeply concerned with corruption, injustice, war and dishonesty in the social order of his time. These are themes which have returned to prominence with a vengence in recent years, and it is perhaps due to Dylan's preoccupation with these universal themes that the Nobel committee decided to award him the prize this year. Other news covered in today's show includes Michael Moore's strange endorsement of Donald Trump and the possible meaning behind the renewed FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton. We also bring you an exposé of the Western backed propaganda manifest in the posturing of celebrated Russian punk band "Pussy Riot".

In today's show we examine the confirmation bias of political allegiences, and the way that translates into false information becoming promoted as news. We also look at conflicting and contradictory positions taken by the candidates and their surrogates over recent years. Finally we take a look at the momentous shift in geopolitical alliances in the Pacific signaled by the recent visit of the Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to China.

Google montage of White Helmets In today's show we probe into the Nobel nominated "White Helmets" of Syria. If you have been absorbing corporatist media you will have been led to believe that this organisation is a group of selfless 1st responders risking their lives daily to rescue small children and other victims of the evil Syrian regime. The White Helmets ("Syrian Civil Defense" ) are described on wikipedia as ...a volunteer civil defense organization that operates in rebel-controlled Syria during the Syrian Civil War... SCD's mission is "to save the greatest number of lives in the shortest possible time and to minimize further injury to people and damage to property". The truth is perhaps a little different, as has already been explored in a number of alternative media investigations.

In today's show we reflect on Aldous Huxley's famous Berkeley speech in 1962, titled "The Ultimate Revolution". In this speech Huxley expands on some of the ideas originally put forth in his novel Brave New World, to give a chillingly accurate prediction of the way in which future societies would be conditioned to love their enslavement through scientific totalitarianism. In the show we attempt to relate some of Huxley's ideas to contemporary events, with a focus on mass media mind manipulation in the 2016 United States general election.
