Tom Secker joins me for a Christmas themed episode. We discuss the 1964 television film Carol For Another Christmas. Commissioned by the United Nations and produced by the Xerox corporation this 1964 film would feature a disturbing retelling of A Christmas Carol. Tom and I discuss the people involved in this movie including director Joseph Mankiewicz, actor Sterling Hayden, and writer Rod Serling. We talk about some of the various intelligence connections some of the individuals had prior to making this film with the UN.
Long before her sudden transformation into a Berniecrat, Tulsi Gabbard called me to ask for a Blue America endorsement. She didn't really try to paint herself as a progressive and she came across as a garden variety careerist Democrat, not especially bad and not especially good. At the end of the interview, I asked her about the process by which she had come to change her position on LGBT equality.
Something we should all be aware of.
From the LA Times:
“I think it’s politics more than anything else,” says former House of Representatives Member Ron Raul (R-TX) regarding calls for an investigation of purported hacking by the Russian government influencing the United States presidential election. Interviewed Wednesday on Fox Business, Paul continues that, even if Russia did what is alleged, Paul does not think it “made any difference.”

President-elect Trump’s choice of a backer of Israeli settlements to be ambassador to Israel may be the final death-blow to the “two-state solution,” which has been on its death bed for years, as Dennis J Bernstein explains. By Dennis J…Read more →
I came across a report today that made me disgusted to be called a Canadian.... I and others living up here in the "Great White North" remember the reports of earlier this year where the Trudeau regime in Ottawa was all for the sale of some 15 BILLION dollars of very deadly and very sophisticated weaponry to the criminal Saudi regime... I had a very gnawing thought at the time that these weapons would be used by these criminals against the innocent people of Yemen....
The mainstream U.S. news has supplied a consistent narrative regarding Syria that treats the “rebels” as the good guys and the “regime forces” as the bad guys, but it has never been that clear-cut, as Dennis J Bernstein reports.

In today’s show originally broadcast on December 22 2016, TBR Radio’s Andrew Carrington Hitchcock interviews Dr. Adrian Krieg to discuss a variety of topics: the National Socialist groundbreaking scientific research into time travel; Chemtrails/Contrails; the 1967 CIA definition of, “Conspiracy Theorist,”; the assassination of Huey Long; and how Iceland solved the 2007 banking crisis by allowing the banks to go bankrupt, jailing the bankers, which resulted in Iceland becoming the strongest economy in Europe only 18 months later.

OK, just last week I showed at this blog an amazing report where some 14 US/Israeli/NATO/Saudi operatives were captured in a bunker in eastern Aleppo... That report and subsequent reports coming over the alternative media showed the world CLEARLY that the US/Israel/NATO CRIMINAL cabal was indeed absolutely on the ground in eastern Aleppo, and was absolutely running the so called "terrorists" and "rebels" that were killing innocent civilians....

American Herald Tribune | December 22, 2016 The Israeli High Court released late on Tuesday 20 December 2016 its decision regarding the Ghaith-Sub Laban eviction, in which the Court partially accepted the family’s appeal and stopping their eviction. The decision keeps the family’s protected tenant status for 10 more years after which the family would […]

Jimmy GomezCalifornia elected 5 new freshmen this year— all Democrats replacing Democrats: Ro Khanna, who won a primary against Mike Honda, Jimmy Panetta, who took the seat Sam Farr retired from, Salud Carbajal, who took the seat Lois Capps retired from, Nanette Barragan, who took the seat Janice Hahn retired from and Lou Correa, who took the seat Loretta Sanchez gave top when she ran, unsuccessfully, for the Senate.
One of the key themes I’ve been writing about since the election relates to how many of those who claim to be virulently anti-Trump, keep doing Trump favors by acting like deranged, irrational lunatics. I went into detail on the matter in last week’s post, Video of the Day – The ‘Fake Left’ Has Lost Its Mind.
Here are a few of the tweets I highlighted at the time:
The CIA finally jumped on the cooking-themed reality TV propaganda bandwagon in 2010 when they hosted an episode of Top Chef. This week we take a look at the episode in question, how it flattered the CIA, and how Top Chef has involved numerous government agencies and departments. We round off looking at some of the reasons why cooking programmes make for effective propaganda.(Read more...)

It has been MONTHS now since I last took a swipe at one of the biggest lies in all of our history, the so called Apollo manned missions to the moon..... It is time to once again look at that fraud in some great detail, thanks to a new video that was sent my way the other day from a great researcher out of Australia, Jarrah White, who of course considers himself the "Grandson of the Apollo Moon Hoax"....Just to fill in new readers to this blog... I have known since my time studying Physics in a local University back in 1979 that mankind has absolutely NOT put men on the moon...
By Stephen Lendman | December 21, 2016 Discount ISIS claiming responsibility. Germany along with America, other NATO nations and Middle East partners support the terrorist group.

Dear Donors, thank you for your support in 2016. Although you have kept me working yet another year, I find it encouraging that there are some Americans who can think independently and who want to know. As Margaret Mead said, it only takes a few determined people to change the world. Perhaps some of you will be those people.

This week NBC News and the Wall Street Journal released a poll showing Trump with an unfavorable rating from 46% of Americans and a favorable rating with 40%, an improvement for him since last month, but the lowest favorability rating of any president-elect about to take office ever.
The UK has recently witnessed an abrupt increase in racial violence cases along with abusive behavior towards strangers and foreigners. As the sitting authorities in London try to downplay the problem, claiming that such a mayhem is the “natural state of affairs,” the Kingdom is now plunged into racial chaos, which affects everybody, not only the people of different races and religions.

WADA has alleged that 1,000 Russian athletes were involved in doping in the 2012 and 2014 Olympics [Xinhua]
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) President Craig Reedie told Russian state news outlet RT earlier this week that the country is “working well” on cracking down on doping.
“You can’t do this progress overnight. This is step, by step, by step,” Reedie said.
“We’ve told them what they have to do. It’s up to them to do it. And I want them to do it as quickly as they can,” he added.
The Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels is generally thought to have said that «If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it». In fact, he didn’t state that, exactly, but based his propaganda largely on the premise that «credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false». What he did say, however, was «the English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous»...
Let’s cut to the chase: Ankara 2016 is not Sarajevo 1914. This is not a prelude to WWIII. Whoever plotted the assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov – a cool, calm, collected old-school diplomat – risks a mighty blowback.
The British government of Theresa May officially adopted on December 12 a new definition of anti-Semitism that includes legitimate criticism of Israel. The definition was adopted earlier in the year by a pro-Israeli group IHRA, although it was considered but abandoned by the European anti-racism agency in 2005. It is also a rather dangerous move […]
