Many questions naturally flow from the book of Job: what can we learn about the trials of Job? Is Job’s experience relevant to us today? How should we respond to difficulties – do we question our actions or do we stoically move forward?
As promised, we come to Programmed to Kill, an earlier, and equally important book from Dave McGowan, of Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon fame. I summarize his thesis and in the full talk give my analysis and commentary based on the numerous other analyses I’ve read regarding related material. We look at the strengths and weaknesses of his book, as well as the crucial connection to Hollywood, which created a whole new entertainment genre surrounding ‘lone gunner sickos’….or are they really lone gunners?
Signs read, “This is the # of sexual assault survivors on campus.” Had university policies failed so miserably over the last ten years? We asked the friendly folks at the information booth: is this number for real? Are there really 3,192 sexual assault victims on campus?

Prominent and controversial figure John McAfee joins Boiler Room (not a joke) to discuss cyberstuffs, Wikileaks and Vault 7.
Following up on my analyses the past few months, my take is largely corroborated with the recent ‘Vault 7’ release – the biggest intelligence dump in history. Dwarfing Watergate and Snowden, the new dump shows vast surveillance measure employed by the CIA and who is really wiretapping (in other words the Russian narrative is dismantled). I also show how this all fits into a larger picture of the globalists, and their minion the Pope, are seeking to destroy any sovereignty or nationhood in their mad trek to implement a technocracy.
