    DDH - McCarthyism

    DDH - McCarthyism
    In the annals of American history, few figures have stirred as much controversy and debate as Senator Joseph McCarthy. Known for his relentless pursuit of alleged communists within the United States government during the early 1950s, McCarthy’s actions and the era named after him, “McCarthyism,” have become synonymous with witch hunts and unfounded accusations. But who was Joseph McCarthy beyond the headlines and history books? And was his crusade really as it is portrayed? Or was it just a whole lot of hot air? Or… was it… something else entirely?

    Temu: Orange Scare

    Temu: Orange Scare

    Nina and Olivia attempt to answer your questions about the new online shopping platform Temu....Where did it come from? How is it making money? Are they selling human meat? Are they stealing our data? Do their products even work? And most importantly, is this a communist attack on the land of the free?

    The ENTIRE History Of Lesbians

    The ENTIRE History Of Lesbians

    The history of lesbians is a hidden tale that history tried to erase. We journey through time to uncover the rich tapestry of lesbian history, digging up the life of Anne Lister, a 19th-century entrepreneur whose coded diaries unveiled her secret affairs with women. We explore the global impact of colonialism on queer communities, from Africa's diverse gender roles to Two-Spirit acceptance in the Americas and love celebrations in the Caribbean. Travel through suffragist struggles, the Lavender Scare's dark era, and the rise of powerful lesbian activists. We celebrate victories, honor heroes, and paint a more colorful future. Enjoy!

    Ep. 41 - The Cumtown Conspiracy (Adam Friedland: CIA/MOSSAD)

    Ep. 41 - The Cumtown Conspiracy (Adam Friedland: CIA/MOSSAD)

    @duhheads @izzyngriffin @pre_l0rd

    Let's get something straight off the bat, Adam Friedland made Dasha Nekrasova. Literally. Without Adam there is no Dasha. Adam's family has a long standing connection with the intelligence community. It's been theorized his father works for the CIA but nothing has ever been proven. What we do know is that Adam Friedland is not who he pretends to be. Dasha herself claims it was like she "didn't have a childhood" she literally didn't. she was grown and raised by nefarious elites for the purpose of subverting American leftism in the 2020 election. She first started gaining a Tumblr following while she was still living under the full control of these individuals. On her 25th birthday she was released into the wild streets of NYC and was left to her handler... a man many of you know as Adam Friedland.

    Let's talk about Adam. Nick talks about how Narcissistic Adam is all the time, but you never really see it, why? Adam is playing a character. The smartest most threatening people make themselves seem like as small of a threat as possible. Adam Friedland is one of the most cunning snakes you will ever meet. Adam has known ties to the Israeli and American intelligence communities. He trained in Israel with the Mossad for a year. He plays the weak pushover because its the perfect cover for who he truly is, the puppet master pulling the strings.

    Adam is what is known as a handler. He handles almost all of the Brooklyn podcasters. What does handle mean? He makes sure that they don't say anything too far out of line, as well as forcing them to do as the intelligence community asks of them. How does he do this? Well, usually he just asks nicely and they listen because he has significant blackmail on all of them. If he really has to he uses concoctions of drugs to make them more amiable to his suggestions. The most notable time Adam put someone on a cocktail was to force the disruption of Cumtown. Adam still controls Stavros to this day, but the intelligence community saw an opportunity to use him in a more visible manner so they ordered the end of Cumtown. To make this seem as organic as possible, and to keep Nick in the fold because he is a valuable asset, Adam fed Nick a cocktail and got him to convince Stavros to quit the podcast. Stavros felt betrayed by Nick because he told him that the podcast was ending to get him to quit, only to turn around and launch TAFS. Stav never wanted the podcast to end, Nick lied to him under the control of Adam.

    Adam and Dasha started publicly dating in 2018. This brought Dasha to relevance in the Brooklyn podcasting sphere, allowing her to launch Red Scare with Anna, one of the few uncontrolled people in the space. After Adam and Dasha "broke up" (they still bang to this day) Adam began feeding her a cocktail in order to control her actions and help disrupt the leftist movement leading up to 2020. The whole "dirt bag left" was a psyop to convince liberals that Bernie was too radical, and Adam was the man behind the curtain.

    Adam is now building his public profile via 'The Adam Friedland Show', they are going to get some ridiculously high profile guests in the not so distant future, and it definitely isn't because of Adam's charisma! His hopeless lack of charisma is a facade, although that isn't to say he's charismatic enough to be on television. His profile is building for a reason. He has a role to play in the coming events, as do all our favorite characters. But I think everyone should know who's the director and who's the cast. Things are never as they seem. Adam wants you to be a good audience member and follow his direction just like his cast. Don't look where he tells you. Look in the shadows and you'll find the truth.

    tldr - Adam Friedland has deep ties to the American and Israeli intelligence

    Utah & America’s “Downwinders” History with Mary Dickson (S4 E12)

    Utah & America’s “Downwinders” History with Mary Dickson (S4 E12)

    Date: April 11, 2022 (Season 4, Episode 12: 55 min. & 40 sec. long). For the entire show notes and additional resources for this episode Click here. Are you interested in other episodes of Speak Your Piece? Click Here.  This episode was co-produced by Brad Westwood and Chelsey Zamir, with help (sound engineering and post-production editing) from Jason Powers from the Utah State Library Recording Studio.

    This SYP episode is an interview with Mary Dickson, a Downwinder and thyroid cancer survivor, with SYP host Brad Westwood. The episode details Dickson’s personal history and her research regarding the implications of America’s nuclear testing. This captivating and devastating story outlines the historical intersections between Utah, the Intermountain West, and the US’s nuclear government testing, mostly done at the Nevada Test Site (300 miles from SLC), during and after America’s Cold War (1947-1991).

    Dickson explains the historical context of the western USA during the era of the Cold War. A nation on edge due to the “Red Scare,” the USA rushed to win a nuclear arms race after Russia announced it has the technology necessary to build its own nuclear capabilities. Wanting to build a nuclear arsenal in response, the USA sought out a permanent bomb test site, finally landing on Utah’s neighbor, Nevada (the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range), where the Nevada Test Site would come to be.

    Starting in 1951-1962, nearly 100 atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted, some of these bombs even more powerful than the bombs that leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Health claims from the surrounding population started to pile up including miscarriages and other largely unexplained ailments.

    In an attempt to tamper down concerns, the US government released a statement: these blasts aren’t harmful and, in fact, so safe that people were encouraged to watch the blasts. Behind the scenes, the actual story was kept a secret for nearly forty years. Overall, throughout the eleven years of testing, as Dickson noted, about 160 million Americans suffered the consequences, knowingly or unknowingly becoming Downwinders, what Dickson defines as one who has been exposed, and/or lived downwind from the nuclear tests and became ill from the radiation.

    Dickson concludes that many people today still do not fully understand the fallout from America’s nuclear testing. The knowledge of how widespread the exposure really was is still not widely known.  She’s also worked with many community members to advocate for the passage of the US congress bill that will expand Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (bills S.2798 and H.R.5338). After several years of advocacy work, Dickson compiled a series of monologues that consisted of interviews from fellow Downwinders and meeting minutes from the Atomic Energy Commission into a playwright titled “Exposed” which was picked up by Plan B Theater Company and continues as stage readings to this day.

    Bio: Mary Dickson is a former KUED TV creative director (now retired) and is the host of Contact with Mary Dickson on PBS Utah. She is an award-winning writer and playwright for “Exposed,” and is an internationally recognized advocate for survivors of nuclear weapon testing.

    Pacific Paranoia, Central Banks are the Opp, Trumping Bush's Fascism, Red-Scare Politics Against Democracy | Ep. 126

    Central banks are using inflation to fight a class war. America's Pacific sphere of influence is making it paranoid--what ham-fisted skullduggery in the Marshall Islands reveals. Was George W. Bush more fascist than Trump? Taiwan policy is on militarist auto-pilot--why Chris Murphy is worried.
