Some videos I've seen recently which I recommend seeing:

Grayzone
- (on Rokfin.com, unfortunately I wasn't able to get the URL because of a network 
issue on their site at the time I wrote this) Excellent discussion from Max 
Blumenthal about the recent Canadian Parliament applauding a Nazi including 
commenting on PM Trudeau's apologizing to the 2SLGBTIA+ community -- the rainbow 
crowd is being mentioned to serve its useful function for the elites to distract 
attention away from real responsibility and as a means to make it look like authority 
has a good read on what's ethical when (as we've seen with recent war-making bodies 
advertising to the same crowd) they're being used to commit crimes and kill.



Glenn Greenwald
- https://rumble.com/v3miab1-system-update-show-153.html has a good take on the value 
of free speech and increasing despotism in Canada. According to former Canadian 
lawyer David Freiheit in 
https://rumble.com/v3ma7ps-canadian-parliament-applauds-waffen-ss-veteran-trudeau-govt-an-absolute-dis.html 
(an episode of Going Underground with Afshin Rattansi) Canada ostensibly has 
something like an American 1st Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech but the 
Canadian version is apparently not enforced.



Kim Iversen
- https://rumble.com/v3msm41-october-3-2023.html is her most recent show in which she 
interviews Dennis Kucinich who is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign manager. The rumor 
is that RFK Jr. will cease trying to gain the favor of the DNC corporation (which has 
clearly announced their standards bearer to be Joe Biden) and will run for POTUS as 
an independent candidate. We'll know if this is true from RFK Jr. next week. I find 
this interesting because, in my view, this means RFK Jr. will go from not really 
running for US President (he would have appeared on zero ballots) to running (maybe 
he'll appear on some ballots).

Late in this interview Kucinich says that we ought not ignore party primaries. As you 
all know, the DNC lawyer Bruce Spiva successfully got a lawsuit from disaffected 
Bernie Sanders supporters to be dismissed out of court by arguing that corporations 
have the freedom to choose their own "standards bearer" (Spiva's term for candidate 
for elective office) and that means they could choose their standards bearer in 
private with no input from anyone they didn't want to hear from. This means that 
primaries are not legally required and therefore primaries (and all of the voting 
shenanigans that go along with them) are theater. In other words, Kucinich is flatly 
wrong and likely telling us to engage with primaries out of apparent loyalty to the 
DNC corporation ('Democratic Party').

But it also means that RFK Jr. and Dr. Cornel West (running with the Green 
corporation) share a problem: they both have campaigns headed up by people who are 
apparently loyal to the Democrats. As such I see no reason to take either of their 
campaigns seriously. I'm sure that both Kennedy & West have interesting and agreeable 
things to say, but in a political race strategy matters. A campaign manager with 
clear loyalties from the corporation/political party which both West & Kennedy claim 
to provide a clear alternative to is a declaration that opposing the Democrats is not 
high on either candidate's agenda.
