Walton is not in Scotland anymore…

Why would we ever bring this podcast back?

A terrible thing happened in the world

Beard scratching the mic

Shit is shitty on this side of the pond

Before jumping into the election how did Walton end up in Switzerland?

Make Donald Drumpf Again

Stephen might go chaotic as he is challenge with grappling with the shit we have

Prophets of Rage tries to Make America Rage Again

Twas the night of the election

Waking up to some kind of hell, just not sure which one

We need a time machine to get back to the future

Maybe the world did end in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar and time split and we are in the wrong version of the future

Neoliberal era is it coming to an end?

The right tore the hole that the left had been trying

What in the world will Trump do?

The devil we know vs the devil we don’t know

Trump is not a good business man

Living in chaos theory

Separation of cause and effect

Chaos under heaven all is well, cannot change the world when things are stable

Trump lacks an organized front like Hitler had, we need to stop him from getting organized

Democrats and labor failed to organized the working class white…it is a class division that needs to be addressed

Look at the numbers, low voter turnout, not a mandate

The problem of the left was giving up class and moving to identity politics, we won or thought we won

Organized parties of the left stopped talking to parts of the working class and it bit us on the ass

Marches and protests after George W. Bush were not enough we need to go further

We need to be concerned about the US being what we don’t want

What ground work do we need to start laying now, from the Occupy movement experience, 2008 debt and 2001 etc.

New folks being agitated, there is a moment for the left to expand

Protest and marches are great, but they are just a start

The kind of stuff that is happening is not just in the US and UK but the rest of the world

Putin in Russia, in Hungry and in France there are threats from the right

There are a lot of angry people out there and the causes are complicated

The right tries to give a simple answer to complex problems

The booming 1920s the elites won out, but let up to the 1930s where fascism took power

We may be looking at the end of the Neoliberal era, we don’t know but the economy is growing at least in terms of real estate

Major economic crisis after party changes in US politics

We need to improve how we respond, we learned from Occupy, but we face a potentially harsher threat

Trump threat of galvanizing popular support through rallies

Stephen gets chaotic, we step forward and leap backward

The might keep us in the US when we want to get out

Jumping back in time to Jim Crow and legal racism, sexism, etc.

The morning after the Brexit vote is now nothing compared to Trump

Trump and Brexit represent the unresolved shadows of the country

All the problems are out in the open…we really need to construct the society we want day-to-day and cannot rely on liberal politicians

The march of progress from the end of WWII has ended we are no longer in the age of Aquarius

Hitler mustache replaced with a toupee

There is a need for us that are white and have been complacent to support our allies and need to be coming together

If we don’t we will get the fascist state we don’t want

Security, Security, Security!!

Now is the time to learn about using encryption

When we first started we talked about the use of Tor in oppressive nations and now we are that

Using encryption has become a lot easier in the last couple of years, more like pushing a button, not as much of a learning curve

Biggest weak spot with encryption is ‘you’

We come to the end
