Rising Tensions in Iran

In today's episode of Besides The Revolution, we talk with author Mary Haverstick about her book “A Woman I Know." What started out as an exploration of the first female astronaut took Mary down a path of Cold War espionage, a murder in Dallas of the president, and the double life of one of the people who were in Dealey Plaza that day. Tune in - It's a good one

We talk about a lot of things on today’s podcast. It wanders through a lot of topics, including the war in Ukraine and Israel, AI and misinformation, and the role that the citizen has in deciphering all of the different sources of information in order to have rational conversations. It’s another deep thinking one - enjoy.

I had the chance to interview Independent Congressional candidate Jon Thorp. He and I have had numerous discussions over the past few weeks about why he is running and what he thinks about American politics, economics, and Washington. This is a great conversation, and I think Jon has a lot of very good ideas that could make Washington work better.

There is almost no doubt at this point that the government, via the intelligence agencies, was a main player in the assassinations of both JFK and RFK. What the latest releases of files say is filled with evidence of that reality. While the Wall Street Journal and New York Times want to portray all of it as a giant nothing of a story, the real researchers and people who have spent their lives looking into this say the new documents confirm their suspicions about all of it. Today, we talk with Matt Armstrong, an independent journalist who has taken a deep look into the files and has some incredible insights to share about it. Have a listen and find out some dark truths about the government that you might have suspected, and now seem confirmed by the government’s own paper trail. Matt is a friend from the Kennedy campaign days, and he found his way to politics via the Oliver Stone movie, JFK, and his subsequent curiosities about it all. In the last ten years, Matt has written extensively on the topic of the assassinations and is a citizen journalist expert on the subject. Enjoy the show.

In this week’s podcast, Jack and I spent our time talking about war and the fallout from the last two weeks; I, the skeptical American, and Jack the tuned-in Brit. It is a great discussion about what happened and how Jack was right about the entire episode, and how I reserve judgment to be right in the future. (I have seen the Mission Accomplished banner before.)We’d love to get your thoughts on our take on the last few weeks and see if you have differing opinions from ours.

Join us for another podcast episode of Besides The Revolution. In today’s episode Jack and I discuss a multitude of things including the JFK files and the underwhelming feeling it gives the public, even though it should be shocking that the CIA killed a president in broad daylight. We also discuss Russia and Europe and the endless fetish for war. Finally, we give grades to the Trump Administration, including RFK Jr. at HHS.Enjoy the show!

You won’t want to miss today’s long-overdue episode of Besides The Revolution podcast. Jack and I are back, and we have a lot to discuss. We have a special guest on to discuss the ethics of AI, and we also get into the Mean Girls fight between Elon and Trump. Enjoy the show!

Jack and I discuss a wide variety of topics, as usual. We are back with another podcast about Jack’s visit to CPAC. Many interesting and newsworthy things came from his time there, but also a fascinating look at the future of politics in America. We ask some hard questions about the value of the Constitution in a techno-managed world, as well as a discussion on secession and federalism. All of our Abraham Lincoln fans will be frustrated once again! 

In this episode, we discuss RFK Jr.'s confirmation hearings, the death of Marianne Faithful and have author Matthew Lysiak visit about his profound book, Fiat Food. Another great conversation.

A wide range of topics today on Besides The Revolution. We talk about the consequences of utopian government voting and how Facebook's founder is on a PR tour to make sure he's not forgotten in a fast-changing social media world.
