The Empire’s veneer is finally crumbling as the corruption of the ultra-wealthy and those who feed off them is revealed in real-time. It’s a reminder that, as Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber says,
Originally, apocalyptic literature existed not to scare the bejesus out of children so that they would be good boys and girls, but to proclaim a big hope-filled idea that dominant powers are not ultimate powers. Empires fall, tyrants fade, systems die, God's still around. In Greek, the word apocalypse means “to uncover, to peel away, to show what’s underneath.” That's what this country has been experiencing in recent months.
Rev. Bolz-Weber was actually talking about the Me Too Movement back in 2018, but her words are no less relevant today. Yes, this apocalypse is messy and painful, but it’s also an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and grow something better from the Empire’s ashes.
Join us for a conversation about how the existence and suppression of the Epstein Files, the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, and the gutting of the U.S. Department of Education all point to the same thing: propaganda and divide-and-conquer politics meant to distract the masses from the systemic oppression inflicted on us by the ruling class.
In part two of this episode, we continue our exploration of the increasingly technocratic impulses of Palantir, the company helping the Trump regime expand the surveillance state by mining Americans’ private data. There’s a reason they’ve tried to make woke a dirty word: They know the first step toward revolution is understanding how they’re controlling us. What comes after that is up to us.
