The Default Solution | Unfilter 70 Supporters Show
from unfilter Supporters Show Hosted by Jupiter Broadcasting
<p>As I write up this news letter, I’m watching a little Star Trek. You’ll forgive me, but it’s late and it helps get me through the late night. For you TOS fans you might remember “Day of the Dove” where a super power alien, I can’t remember their name, lets just call them the Kochs. They come in and arm both sides with ridiculous armatures, superficial hate, and a lot of hot air.</p> <p>Funny. Kinda applies to today eh?</p> <p>So there are always a few areas I regret missing on the Unfilter show, as you guys can probably imagine, the week between episodes there are a hundred things I want to bring up on the show, and I probably forget 70% of them. But the Koch brothers angle on these entire shutdown situation is something I have meant to get to for the last two weeks. So at least I can pass on to you, our supporters, a little more info:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/207311/the-5-creepiest-things-about-how-the-koch-brothers-engineered-the-shutdown/">The 5 creepiest things about how the Koch brothers engineered the shutdown </a></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>This weekend, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/06/us/a-federal-budget-crisis-months-in-the-planning.html?pagewanted=1&_r=4&hp&">The New York Times</a> revealed how the Koch Brothers and Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese engineered this here shutdown we’re dealing with right now, and how they’d been planning it ever since Obama was reelected.</p> </blockquote> <p>Such a big week, and there are a few items we didn’t have time for even in the supports show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57606834/libyas-prime-minister-abducted-govt-website-says/">Libya’s prime minister abducted, gov’t website says - Unfilter will be tracking this story</a></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>“The head of the interim government” was taken at dawn “to an unknown destination for unknown reasons by a group believed to be … revolutionaries,” the site says, in Arabic.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.blacklistednews.com/Everything_You_Need_to_Know_About_Janet_Yellen/29452/0/0/0/Y/M.html?morestories=obinsite">Everything You Need to Know About Janet Yellen - A Good List They Put Together</a></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Janet Yellen is currently the Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.</p> </blockquote> <p>The main issue with this on-going federal government shutdown is that it doesn’t go nearly far enough. It is comical that during this supposed crisis that some of the most expensive and hated government institutions like the Department of Homeland Security and others continue to function. We also see the U.S. military continuing to occupy foreign lands at great expense. It’s clearly become political theater, and the expense of some of those who have paid the greatest price for the US. </p> <p>We’ll keep on top of everything that develops over the next week, and potentially be live during the final minutes of the shutdown negotiations… But hopefully not. Thank you for contributing to our show to keep us on the air every week. </p>
