Lisa Pease has written or at least spoken about some of these connections.

What about Israeli links to the RFK assassination? Might there be characters , clues and motivations in both murders that overlap, and are clarifying by reinforcing each other?

Love your deep dive into the labyrinthine bowels of the Amerikkkan Empire and the interconnected tentacles of late stage terminal capitalism and their political hacks in the oligarchy we suffer from and the manufactured consent force fed us their propaganda sycophants in the "media".

Two of my favorite guys in the whole world: Aaron and Jeffrey!!!! Given what Xi Jinping recently said about China's desire to help the people of the world to resist those who think they OWN the world, it drives home one aspect of life that seems to drive everything else--it's the "economy ....". I think I heard someone on the program once say that JFK wanted to allow Congress to print money, and ChatGPT returned the comment that he had issued an EO #11110 on June 4, 1963 to authorize the Treasury Secty to issue Silver Certificates, which were backed by silver held by the government. Was JFK trying to preserve some congressional power in the face of private oligarchic influence in the Fed? The EO might have been part of a larger campaign to drain the Washington swamp, and while that campaign hasn't worked for Main Street American citizens , it HAS worked well for the oligarchs, who turned around and gave us the financial crisis of '08. Maybe we should pay more attention to what Xi is trying to tell us. 8.4.25

We're lucky to be let in on Aaron and Jeff having a conversation. Most insightful. Wow.

Are you referring to the term "neo-con"? If so it's usually used to refer to a belief system and policy structure based on US global dominance, advancement of capitalist globalization through all means including warfare, a strict adherence to Israeli expansion, and intense anti-communism and anti-leftism really of most varieties. Historically was a weird amalgamation of right-wing anti-Communism, Prussian militarism, converted Trotskyites, ultra-Zionists, and various capital interests. That's speaking in extremely short and general terms as there are differences within what's termed the neo-cons but for a quick definition I think that's okay.

Fausto

Hi, I would like to understand the notion of «newcon». Is there a specific reference or article or book where I could find a precise definition? Thanks.

Aaron Good

He's generally good. I think he has proven to be a bit off about China as they have moved to more state-ownership of the economy rather than more "neoliberalism with Chinese characteristics." I haven't followed his more recent work. This may be a superficial thing, but I find him a little dull to listen to.
