Norm Finkelstein Takes Down Bernie and the Squad…

“Norman “X” Finkelstein returns to Useful Idiots, fired up and with a scathing critique of Bernie Sanders and The Squad.

He begins with a definition of radicalism and The Left, citing the writing of Rosa Luxemburg: “The whole job of The Left is to constantly point out the conflict of interest between the ruling elite, the capitalist class, and yourself. To constantly point out: ‘Their interests are not your interests. Don’t be fooled.’”

Historically, he says, Bernie Sanders has upheld this left tradition, calling out the crooks who steal your money.

But when it came to Ukraine, “the bunch of crooks metamorphosed into a band of angels. You’re telling me the same people who are cheating you day in and day out, stealing your wealth, stealing your labor, those same people are suddenly heartbroken by what’s happening to the Ukrainian people?”

Norm does not pull any punches in his assessment of The Squad and Sanders:

“The day the squad and Bernie voted for war credits for Ukraine, that whole progressive enterprise turned into a rotting corpse.”

“Today we’ll talk about experimental evidence for quantum effects in the brain, the discovery of a potentially dangerous asteroid, a new method to track turbulence in plasma, China’s scientific Rise and the British Space Program, viruses on microplastics, how lasers can trick an autonomous vehicle into running someone over, the link between intelligence and self-control – in jay, and a 15th century house excavated in Berlin. And of course the telephone will ring.”

Bernie Smears Anti-War Protesters At Rally…

“Former Bernie Sanders campaign staffer Nick Brana recently confronted his former employer in the middle of a rally about Bernie’s votes to fund ongoing war in Ukraine that is pushing us to the brink of thermonuclear war with Russia. Bernie’s response? To redbait and smear his own former staffer as a paid agent of Vladimir Putin. Just like Democrats used to do to smear Bernie himself!

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Nick Brana about the confrontation and Bernie Sanders’ disappointing abandonment of his own anti-war, socialist support base.”

Nick Brana has an integrity issue hanging over his own head…plus rape allegations [perhaps false, but his public response was really not good]…I don’t really like sharing media with him in it…but, this is an important subject matter.

On the flip side of things…after Nick Brana ran Bernie Sanders campaign, which got critically damaged by the sexual harassment scandal [which keeps following Nick Brana around]…I can imagine Bernie has valid reason to believe Nick was a person paid to infiltrate and bring down his presidential campaign…Whether right or wrong about that, he’d still be justified in being pissed off at Nick over his conduct as campaign manager.

Bernie is doing fucked up shit these days…That’s true…I think the circumstances remain a lot more complicated, than people are treating them.

Fleetwood Mac is PROOF We’re Living in a Simulation…

“Are you real? Am I real? Is any of this real? This week I’m going to prove to you we’re living in a simulation using very simple evidence: the band “Fleetwood Mac”

This is not an impressive or convincing argument, that we are living in a computer simulation…It is, however, very interesting history on one of my all time favorite bands.

Oligarchy Wins Big As Democrats Pretend Losses Are Victories…

“As the final counting takes place in the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats are already crowing about holding off a supposed “red wave” even though they may yet lose the House and Senate. But independent of the outcome in the blue vs red contest, the clear winners will be, as they always are, the oligarchs representing Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Oil, the heathcare industry and Silicon Valley.

Jimmy and his panel of Revolutionary Blackout Network host Nick Cruse and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger break down the results of the midterm elections and how fascism and oligarchy managed to eke out yet another electoral victory.”

“Twitter Bluechecks are so salty that ANYONE can get Twitter Verification for a measly $8 a month that they created a browser extension to be able to tell OG Verified accounts from Twitter Blue Verified accounts! Then we talk about Musk’s first mass email to Twitter employees in which he tells everyone that the money is running out and remote work is ENDING.”
