INSOMNIA STREAM: SCUD MISSILE EDITION
Stream Summary
The stream opens with commentary on recent crime and social incidents in Miami, using these as examples to critique the effects of demographic change and diversity in American cities. The host then pivots to a segment on Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, referencing her judicial record and involvement in high-profile cases, including the Comet Ping Pong "Pizzagate" incident and debates over critical race theory in schools. This leads to a discussion of educational materials, such as Ibram Kendi’s Stamped For Kids, and the broader implications of anti-white sentiment and racial politics in the U.S. and U.K.
The stream transitions to economic and geopolitical topics, including the impact of the Ukraine war on global food and energy prices, the rise in fertilizer costs, and Russia’s demand for gas payments in rubles. The host analyzes the consequences for the U.S. dollar and the potential collapse of the petrodollar system, referencing news from Zero Hedge and DW.
A segment on housing markets follows, focusing on large investment firms like Tricon Residential and BlackRock buying up single-family homes, driving up prices, and changing the nature of home ownership for millennials. The host draws parallels to historical shifts in automobile technology and expresses concern about surveillance and battery lifespans in electric vehicles.
The stream then critiques mainstream media and war propaganda, using CNN’s Gulf War "Scud missile" coverage as a case study in staged reporting and misinformation. This is contrasted with a declassified CIA training video on Soviet propaganda, which is analyzed for both its exaggerations and uncomfortable truths about American society, oligarchy, and racial tensions.
