The pandemic. Fair enough.But that's not the end of the story.

Could a different organizational strategy have made Part 2 more effective? And what drives the people who take to the streets with signs to defend Kelly and his ilk?
Later, we talked about singer-songwriter Allison Moorer's memoir of her parents' tragic deaths, Blood: A Memoir. Mark read the book and I listened to it, and these contrasting experiences of the text led to a conversation about the spaces...

2020-01-0122 minThe Blotter Presents119: American Elections: Wicked Game and The Fear Of 13It's another Wondery podcast up top this week -- I'll try not to make a habit of it -- as guest Eve Batey and I contemplate American Elections: Wicked Game. Eve thinks the deep weekly dive into every single U.S. election, and the adjacent chicanery/felon...ery (?), might have worked better with visuals, while I confess I've still never seen/heard Hamilton but think the podcast is primed to get really good with a few tweaks. But is it crimey enough? We'll compare it to existing properties so you can decide.
In the Cold Case section, Eve m...
2019-11-0658 minBestEvidence on OdyseeMommy, Where Does Money Come From?In this episode of Mafiacracy Now we see in irrefutably cold detail how the criminal banking cartel maintains not only control of, but sovereign status within, the U.S.Everything else is piss, dodge, sham and weave.The book of Leviticus will end up looking like a fantasy vacation before these inbred psychopaths are finished with our husks.The launchpad for this springtime message of hope is a scientific paper in the field of… gasp… economics! No. Seriously. Not some stealth advocacy team slinging equations from tensor calculus and diff-EQ like the coke...
2019-04-1524 minBestEvidence on OdyseeThe $1 Trillion Devil in the DetailsNow 10 years removed from the global financial crisis of 2008, we still have no idea what caused the damn thing. Thus we are primed for a galactic 2X4 to the back of our ignorant heads.In episode 3 of Mafiacracy Now, we lay out the 3 biggest lies sold to the public in oder to get the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) passed on October 3, 2008.The lies beg one very huge and unanswered question that remains very much pertinent to this day: why did Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson lie about the banks' need for a...

2019-03-1920 minBestEvidence on OdyseeWe Used To Throw Criminals OffWith the entire mainstream media-devouring population tirelessly fixated on Donald Trump’s latest reality TV offering with an intensity that would scare Newark’s biggest meth enthusiast into a monastery, the U.S. hurtles cluelessly towards the worst financial crisis in, oh, 500 years or so.Against this surreal backdrop, Best Evidence is pleased to present the very first episode of “Mafiacracy Now,” a modest dollop of ice-cold legal reality for the dozen or so U.S. residents capable of responding to the U.S.S. Horror Show with even a scrap of sanity, by at least pausing...

2016-03-1845 minBestEvidence on OdyseeFed Audit Shocker: They Come from Planet KleptoWhile the world breathlessly awaits the outcome of this week’s FOMC meeting—will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates or won’t it?—one thing is clear regardless: the Fed is driving the U.S. into a 2nd depression in order to carry out its one and only remit now that America’s ability to produce real jobs has been reduced to ash, namely, propping up criminal banks with multi-trillion-dollar giveaways.What’s so disturbing about the fatal path that the Fed has been on for 7 years is that it's one the Fed went down before, when...
2015-09-1419 minBestEvidence on OdyseeBen Bernanke's Sovereign DeceptionThe popular explanation--originating with then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and promoted relentlessly by the media--for why the $700 billion TARP bailout had to be passed is destroyed with an 8-minute film.Relying solely on documents from the Federal Reserve together with congressional testimony, BestEvidence exposes Bernanke's TARP story to congress as a willful fraud intended to benefit global megabanks. The episode further reveals that Bernanke lied to congress about TARP saving Main Street at precisely the same time he was planning the Fed's own megabank bailout that specifically excluded Main Street.In addition, Bernanke's...
2015-03-1411 minBestEvidence on OdyseeWho's blowtorching American jobs?The first episode of BestEvidence goes to the root of what’s happening to American jobs. It examines the U.S. labor force participation rate going back to the first days of the Eisenhouser Administration (January 1953). After the rate stabilizes in the early 1960s, three distinct periods of time are clear by inspection.For each period, BestEvidence breaks down the rate into its constituent parts—the labor force itself and the working age population from which it’s drawn (see below)—and looks at their respective changes.The third and current period is a blo...
