The Mark Peterson Show

Episode 54 – Simulation Predicts US Civil War 2.0In this episode of The Mark Peterson Show, Mark dives into Joe Wilkins’ provocative article, “Simulation Found Civil War Could Be Triggered by Exactly What ICE Is Doing Right Now,” and unpacks the unsettling scenario it describes: a government‑driven chain reaction that could fracture the nation from within. Mark explores how algorithmic decision‑making, immigration enforcement strategies, and political polarization intersect to create a volatile feedback loop—one that a recent simulation suggests could ignite a second American civil conflict. But this conversation doesn’t stand alone. Mark connects the dots to themes he’s explored across his podcast universe. From the Event Horizon episode “Elon Musk: The Winter Soldier,” he revisits the idea of powerful technologists shaping geopolitical outcomes from behind the curtain—sometimes intentionally, sometimes as unintended consequences of innovation. And from his earlier Mark Peterson Show episode, “Logan’s Run: Welcome to the Government Citizenship Database,” he draws parallels between dystopian identity‑tracking systems and the real‑world data infrastructures that could accelerate social fragmentation. Together, these threads form a larger narrative: America is entering an era where technology, governance, and social tension collide in unpredictable ways. This episode challenges listeners to consider not just whether a second civil conflict is possible, but what invisible systems might already be nudging the country toward a breaking point.Before you listen to this episode, listen to the following episodes: ·          - Elon Musk: The Winter Soldier episode of my Event Horizon podcast.  When you connect what Musk has planned to what Palantir will be capable of doing after the construction of the Citizen Database, you will be very afraid. ·        - Logan’s Run: Welcome to the Government Citizenship Database. This episode tracks the military application Palantir (a company founded by Peter Thiel, friend and PayPal cofounder with Elon Musk) is developing using data about US citizens.  Join The Community Follow us on:Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/quantumAIradioTwitter (X) at @ceyerollcEmail at [email protected]  Website at https://mpeter1896.wixsite.com/gururadioSubscribe To My Other Podcasts:Movie Reviews from the Edge - https://www.spreaker.com/show/movie-reviews-from-the-edgeEvent Horizon - https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/event-horizon--2860481     Career Coaching Xs and Os Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/career-coaching-xs-and-os--3047801Guerrillapreneur - The Art of Waging Small Business Warfare: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/guerrillapreneur-the-art-of-waging-small-business-podcast--2859921Support the Show.

Episode 53 - Logan's Run: Welcome to the Government Citizenship DatabaseWelcome to The Mark Peterson Show, where we delve into the stories that shape our society and the values they reflect.  Are you aware that the US government is building a citizenship database that includes all your personal information? Palantir, a company co-founded by PayPal CEO Peter Thiel, has a contract from the Trump Administration to build a citizenship database.  This may not be surprising to you, but Palantir also provides AI services to the Defense Department to support ground warfare strategy and mission targeting.  The first question we should all be asking is, “Why?”  Is the government preparing to establish a Social Credit infrastructure similar to the one used in China?  Before you listen to this episode, listen to the Elon Musk: The Winter Soldier episode of my Event Horizon podcast.  When you connect what Musk has planned to what Palantir will be capable of doing after the construction of the Citizen Database, you will be very afraid.

Episode 52 – A Slice of Humanity: Mike Ilitch's Legacy vs. Starbucks PolicyWelcome to The Mark Peterson Show, where we explore the stories shaping our society and the values they reflect. In our last episode, we tackled Starbucks’s controversial decision to reverse its open-door policy. Now, customers must make a purchase to sit or use the facilities—a move that sparked a heated debate among listeners, with many defending the company’s position. Today, we’re shifting gears to highlight a profoundly different story. At a Little Caesars in North Dakota, a compassionate manager offered free pizza and water to a homeless man caught eating from the store’s dumpster. But was this a random act of kindness or a reflection of the company’s deeply rooted culture of care? After all, Little Caesars' late founder, Mike Ilitch, quietly paid Rosa Parks’s rent for nearly a decade—a testament to his extraordinary humanity and generosity.This episode explores the stark contrast between these two corporate narratives, asking a critical question: Can companies show compassion and still remain profitable? Somewhere along the way, it seems we’ve lost sight of this essential balance.   Stay tuned for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges how we view corporate responsibility, kindness, and profit."Listen to this episode and hear my advice to Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-mark-peterson-show--652501/support.

Episode 51 – Fortress Starbucks?This episode delves into Starbucks's new policy that reverses its open-door policy to anyone and requires you to buy someone if you want to sit down or use the bathroom.   Starbucks's Chairman and CEO Brian Niccol argues that paying customers no longer feel comfortable at its stores because of the growing number of homeless people who frequent and languish at their stores.  Unfortunately, Starbucks's policy change reflects a growing sentiment in America, i.e., you are not worth anything if you don't have money.  Homelessness is a problem because we keep ignoring it and its root causes.  The Starbucks brand was synonymous with "community."  However, after January 20, 2025 (the day we celebrate Dr. King Day), Starbucks will become a fortress with a King and feudal servants.  Did Starbucks select January 20, 2025 (Dr. King Day) for a purposeful policy change? Listen to this episode and hear my advice to Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol.Sources:Starbucks reverses open-door policy: Buy something or leave - https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/01/14/starbucks-open-door-policy-changes/77689669007/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-mark-peterson-show--652501/support.

Episode 50 – Are America's Black Leaders Chosen By The CIA?This episode delves into a thought-provoking inquiry: "Could the CIA choose America's Black Leaders?" While it may initially seem far-fetched, historical precedents such as the clandestine activities of notable figures like Harry Houdini, Cary Grant, and Julia Child, who all served as spies, suggest that the idea isn't entirely without merit. This discussion aims to explore the intricate web of influence and intelligence, shedding light on a subject that, while controversial, warrants a nuanced examination.Want to know who these leaders are?  Listen to this episode.Sources:https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/josephine-baker-from-poverty-to-stardom-to-espionage/https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp90-00552r000303030022-0https://time.com/53389/al-sharpton-informant-fbi-mafia/#:~:text=Report%3A%20Al%20Sharpton%20Was%20FBI%20Informant%20on%20the%20Mob&text=According%20to%20a%20lengthy%20report,Sharpton%20has%20denied%20the%20claims.https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/7/rev-al-sharpton-former-paid-fbi-informant-report/https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/religion-and-american-culture/article/bureau-clergyman-how-the-fbi-colluded-with-an-african-american-televangelist-to-destroy-dr-martin-luther-king-jr/65C724E450F080287FD53EF62252D6E8*** Buy My New Book I have a new book!  It is called Career Coaching Xs and Os: How To Master the Game of Career Development.  Transform your career trajectory with insider knowledge and actionable advice, all packed into one game-changing guide.  Support the show and buy a copy of your son, daughter, niece, nephew, etc.Get your copy on Amazon at https://a.co/d/f7irTMLFollow Me On Social Media ·         X at @PetersonThe Follow My Other Podcasts ·         Event Horizon – https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/event-horizon--2860481 ·        Movie Reviews From The Edge - https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/movie-reviews-from-the-edge--2860487Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-mark-peterson-show--652501/support.

Episode 46 - Dad Puts Antifreeze in Daughter's Milk To Avoid Child Support In Episode 46, I discuss the recent reports that students who identify as “furries” at the Mt. Nebo Middle School in Payson, Utah were disrupting class by biting and licking their classmates.  According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “furries are people who dress up in a costume resembling an anthropomorphic animal, or animals with human-like features.” The Mt. Nebo school district denies the allegations. Still, over 2,700 signatures were captured on a Change.org petition requesting that the school district enforce its dress code, which prohibits students from wearing furry customs.  Is this just a way for students to have a little fun, or are we witnessing the disaggregation of American society?

Episode 45 - Angela Chao - Victim of the Illuminati Silent WarAngela Chao, sister-in-law to Mitch McConnell, the former GOP Senate Minority Leader, was a prominent figure in American politics for the past three decades. As CEO of Foremost Company, she led a global shipping enterprise. Her sister, Elaine Chao, is married to McConnell and has held significant roles in the U.S. government, serving as Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009 and Secretary of Transportation under Donald Trump from 2017 to 2021. Tragically, Angela passed away after her Tesla vehicle submerged in a pond on her business property, with neither she nor the first responders able to open the vehicle's doors or windows. Shortly after this incident, Mitch McConnell resigned from his leadership position but chose to continue serving as Kentucky's senior senator. This episode examines the complex political dynamics surrounding McConnell's resignation, which occurred just two days following Angela's untimely death, an event he cited as a pivotal reason for his departure. The question remains: was her death a mere accident, or does it carry a deeper, more ominous message?

Episode 44 - Supreme Court - Endgame Whether the United States remains a republic or has evolved into a democracy is a subject of scholarly debate. Since the pivotal Bush vs. Gore case, some analysts suggest a gradual shift towards authoritarianism. The Supreme Court has played a significant role in this perceived shift by prioritizing federal authority over state rights, reminiscent of the centralization efforts during the Civil War era. The historical tension between state sovereignty and federal oversight has deep roots, with President Abraham Lincoln's assassination often attributed to his stance on state powers post-war. Historically, the U.S. functioned as a confederation where state citizenship preceded national identity. This structure was transformed to fortify the nation, arguably diminishing the individual's influence. Entities like the Federal Reserve oversee monetary policy, and the income tax system operates without explicit constitutional sanction. Cases like Trump vs. Andersen highlight ongoing debates about constitutional freedoms and the original intent of the nation's founders.Listen to this episode, and let me know if I am crazy!If you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, LIKE the show, and FOLLOW me on Twitter at @PetersonThe or @Guerillapreneur.

Episode 43 - The Worst Story of 2023 That You Never Heard In this episode, we discuss the August 10, 2023 case where Quantavious Eason, a 10-year-old Black boy from Senatobia, Mississippi, was arrested after he urinated behind his mother’s car while she was inside a local business.Four Senatobia police officers arrested the third grader when they saw him urinating in a public parking lot beside his mother’s car. Despite his mother being present after the incident, the officers put the 10-year-old in the back of their squad car and booked him into a cell before releasing him. Paige Williams, the Tate County Youth Court prosecutor, took the case and cited Quantavious as a “child in need of services.” According to Quantavious’s attorney, Williams threatened to upgrade the citation to “disorderly conduct” if the family pushed for a trial.Where are the adults in the room?

In this episode, I proposed that the Chinese Balloon that crossed the continental United States was more likely a Covid (or Biological Agent) Death Star than a surveillance device. What do bad and good guys do in the movies when they realize that cameras are watching their movements? They shot them immediately. If the Chinese Balloon were merely a spying device, logic would dictate immediate action. Why did our military overrule President Biden and refuse to down the balloon over Montana? I believe they suspected that the balloon contained aerosols that would have spread across the country if the balloon had been shot down over US airspace.If you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, LIKE the show, and FOLLOW me on Twitter at @PetersonThe or @Guerillapreneur.If you are interested in business and entrepreneurship, check out my other podcasts, Guerrillapreneur: The Art of Waging Small Business Warfare (https://www.spreaker.com/show/guerrillapreneur-podcast), Gigging: Everything and the Sharing Economy (https://www.spreaker.com/show/gigging-everything-sharing-economy), and Career Coaching Xs and Os (https://www.spreaker.com/show/careercoaching-xs-and-os).In my next episode, I discuss how I think Stacey Abrams lost her voice and Georgia's gubernatorial race.

Welcome to Episode 37. In this podcast, I explore Black Hero Archetypes, the Preacher and the Athlete. Rev. Warnock is the incumbent Senator for the state of Georgia. He literally sits in the shadow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., while serving as the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia (Dr. King's family church). Herschel Junior Walker is the Republican Candidate seeking to replace Rev. Warnock in the Senate. Walker was unstoppable as a Heisman-winning running back at the University of Georgia. Walker's on-the-field performance made him a national hero during a time when ESPN did not exist. These are the two archetypes that the world expects Black leaders to embrace, being a preacher or unbeatable athletes. I have known individuals who declared themselves ministers to position themselves for political careers better.

Russian officials are claiming that World War III has already begun. I agree, but for the reasons, they put forth. The main reason why I think WWIII has begun is that Vladimir Putin is no longer in charge of Russia. In fact, I think Putin is dead. In this episode, I give five (5) reasons why I think he is dead, including: 1. PUTIN’S BODY ODOR2. PUTIN’S DAUGHTERS SEEM TO HAVE MORE POWER WHICH IS WHY THE US GOVERNMENT HAS PUT PERSONAL SANCTIONS ON THEM3. PUSH BACK AGAINST PUTIN USING WESTERN TECHNIQUES (OPEN LETTER)4. PUTIN'S THREATS TO USE NUKES IN UKRAINE WAR 5. PUTIN HAS ODD FACIAL FEATURES.

After George Floyd's death, millions of dollars have been donated to charities and racial justice groups with little discussion as to what we want from those investments. I want to change that dialogue. I want EVERYONE to "BE INTENTIONAL" and create the environment where the outcomes we want can actually happen. What does "BE INTENTIONAL" mean? It means that we stop giving to charity and start putting money in Black-Owned Banks and letting "Fractional Reserve Banking" do for Blacks what it does for other communities.

Episode 26 is entitled “Deep State Adopts Biometrics To Determine Your Race And Gender.” In this show, I discuss the introduction of facial recognition and artificial intelligence in retailing that can determine your race and sex. Retailers argue that the use of this technology can help them provide customized services to shoppers. What could go wrong with this technology? The #Deepstate would never use this type of technology to spy on you or track you, right? On June 24, 2020, the New York Times reported that Robert Julian-Borchak Williams became the first African-American to be falsely arrested due to facial recognition technology. Detroit police officers arrested Williams at his home after an AI-based facial recognition matched his photo with that of a shopper lifter caught on security footage. Basic police work would have shown that Williams could not have committed the crime as he was at work alongside 10-12 other individuals.

STRANGER THINGS: GEORGE FLOYD’S MURDER MAY HAVE BEEN A HITThis episode started out as a podcast to encourage everyone to stop being traumatized by the continued social media video posts of George Floyd's murder. However, as I researched more, I realized that the facts did not add up, especially when I learned that the two men knew each other and had worked together at the same night club. Listed below are my notes for the podcast. Please do you homework and see if you come to same conclusion.SUMMARY1. George Floyd, a black man whose death Monday sparked ongoing protests and Derek Chauvin, identified by local media as the officer who was videotaped kneeling on Floyd’s neck for minutes shortly before his death, worked at the same nightclub Maya Santamaria owned El Nuevo Rodeo Club in Minneapolis’ south side until selling it just months ago, and confirmed to local media outlets that both Floyd and Chauvin worked security at the establishment.Chauvin worked outside the club while security guards, like Floyd, worked inside. They had overlapping shifts. They had to have known each other. El Nuevo Rodeo Club, where Chauvin and Floyd both worked, is just down the street from Minneapolis’ Third Precinct.2. Chauvin was married to a Hmong woman and two of the other arresting officers are of Hmong decent. 3. Hmong Gangs are very active in the Northeast, include the gang Menance of Destruction (MOD). MOD is known for prostitution, drugs and counterfeiting. 4. Despite having Chauvin as off-duty security outside the club, the police was never able to solve the crimes or connect the suspects to activity related to El Nuevo Rodeo Club.5. In 2012, the FBI busted a drug ring that involved the Mexican gang La Familia (also known for drugs and counterfeiting) and the Hmong gang, Menance of Destruction. The ring involved the selling of methamphetamine, a “Club Drug” being pushed by Mexican cartels.EL NUEVO RODEO CLUB – MAY HAVE BEEN GROUND ZERO FOR COUNTERFEITINGOwned by Maya Santamaria who is a singer, waitress, and music promoter with a degree in anthropologyThe city is pushing to shut down the Rodeo. The nightclub's future lies in the hands of a judge who is deciding whether to recommend that the City Council yank its liquor license.In 2006, the club got slapped with fines for violating city code: It had hosted more people than the fire code allowed, had advertised as a nightclub when it was licensed as a restaurant/nightclubQuestioned about selling more alcohol than food (the liquor license requires that 60 percent of sales be food).That December, city officials convened to determine whether El Nuevo Rodeo's liquor license should be renewed. Santamaria agreed to submit her food and alcohol receipts for the next year.In April 2008, three people were shot outside of Denny's, right across the street from the nightclub. A story in the Longfellow/Nokomis Messenger connected the shooting to nightclub patrons, though police were never able to prove it.On November 14, 2008 there were multiple police calls associated with the nightclub.  Incidents ranged from shots fired (almost an officer-involved shooting), to several felony assaults (on patrons and staff), to numerous misdemeanors (obstructing, disorderly conduct, assault, theftThe city compiled its case against the nightclub: a stack of 28 police call reports from 2008 and six from 2009. The city attorney on the case described the business as having "an inordinately high number of incidents of criminal behavior."DEREK CHAUVIN – MAY HAVE BEEN IN HMONG GANGRecords show that the 44-year-old Chauvin initially studied cooking before taking courses in law enforcement and doing two stints in the Army as a military police officer in the late 1990s, serving at Fort Benning, Georgia, and in Germany.Chauvin became a Minneapolis police officer in 2001 Had 17 complaints against him, including one for pulling a woman out of her car during a speeding stop.He won two medals of valor, one in 2006 for being part of a group of officers who opened fire on a stabbing suspect who pointed a shotgun at them, and another in 2008 for a domestic violence incident in which Chauvin broke down a bathroom door and shot a suspect in the stomach.Married to Kellie Chauvin, a Laotian immigrant who became the first Hmong winner of the Mrs. Minnesota pageant.In 2009, he single-handedly apprehended a group of gang members while working as an off-duty security guard at the El Nuevo Rodeo, a Minneapolis nightclub. (Chauvin shots most suspects, but apprehends an entire gang BY HIMSELF. This does not add up). HMONG GANGS IN MINNEAPOLIS - MENACE OF DESTRUCTION" (MOD), FORMERLY KNOWN AS "MASTERS OF DESTRUCTION – LINKED TO “CLUB DRUGS” AND COUNTERFEITINGis a Hmong street gang created in 1988. Today, it is active in every state with a large Hmong community in California, the Midwestern United States known for prostitution, moneylaundering, the distribution of narcotics, and counterfeiting.A national drug ring based in Twin Cities was busted after months of surveillance and wiretaps in March 2012. The cartel La Familia smuggled millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine from Mexico to Minnesota. The drugs then went through a local member of the cartel and the Menace of Destruction gang.La familia is also known for counterfeiting Eleven-year veteran and native Hmong speaker Tou Thao began as a community service officer and was the subject of six complaints.No longer chiefly made by "cooks" in makeshift labs in the U.S., methamphetamine is now the domain of Mexican drug cartels that are mass-producing high-quality quantities of the drug and pushing it into markets where it was previously unknown.While methamphetamine remains a street drug in many parts of the country, it functions as a “club drug” in the Northeast United States. While diffused to the Northeast, certain elements of the drug economy and networks of use have allowed it to retain its status as a club drug.Methamphetamine use has been found in a range of club subcultures, including electronic dance music clubs, raves, and circuit parties (Mansergh et al., 2001; McCaughan, Carlson, Falck, & Siegal, 2005; Yacoubian et al., 2004). THE ARREST – LOOKED LIKE AN EXECUTION46-year-old George Floyd was arrested on suspicion of forgery on May 25Cellphone video of Floyd's May 25 arrest showed Chauvin placing his left knee on Floyd’s neck with Lane holding Floyd’s legs and Kueng holding his back while Thao stood between the officers and onlookers, according to charging documents.Sourceshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2020/05/29/george-floyd-and-derek-chauvin-worked-at-the-same-nightclub-but-may-not-have-known-each-other-owner-says/#4b6839a874d8http://www.citypages.com/news/el-nuevo-rodeo-facing-possible-last-hurrah-on-lake-street-6724277https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menace_of_Destructionhttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiPhZfDwOzpAhVE2qwKHREYCrIQFjAAegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.revolvy.com%2Ffolder%2FAsian-American-gangs%2F390125&usg=AOvVaw3q4YSFhiCr7vDesPuYQh4lhttps://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=762861https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/10/25/656192849/methamphetamine-roils-rural-towns-again-across-the-u-shttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4065782/Recommended ReadingKilling Uncle Sam: The Demise of the United States of America -https://www.amazon.com/dp/1645720047/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_hm62EbY0Y7FA9Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-mark-peterson-show--652501/support.

Do White People Know Something About NOT Wearing A Mask That Black People Don't Know? I asked that question today after I saw a majority of White People NOT wearing a mask everywhere I went, grocery store, gas station, post office, running, walking, etc. Because I did not have the answer to that question, I did some research. I found an article authored by Dr. Erin Bromage that outlined how the Virus is spread and listed the riskiest places for people to go. Here is a link to that article https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20200511&instance_id=18384&nl=the-morning&regi_id=75839720&segment_id=27239&te=1&use%20r_id=9d1de9fb1ef4a71c608cb3e22dae02d6Turns out that going to the grocery store, running, and biking (even without a mask) are relatively less risky than eating at a sit-down restaurant or attending a wedding, funeral, or conference. I BELIEVE in fighting for your rights. I support football players who want to take a knee. I support anyone who does wear a mask -- as long as they are not placing others at risk (which is hard to do with this Virus).

The death of Ahmaud Arbery was unnecessary and it should not have taken a social media campaign to get justice. However, this remains the NORM for minorities in this country. Dr. Martin Luther King and his supporters realized that television could force justice in America when individuals were forced to face the truth. On March 7, 1965, 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma. They got as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where state and local lawmen attacked them with billy clubs, tear gas, dogs, and drove them back into Selma. The entire event was caught on camera and broadcast to the world. Historians point to the fact the incident was broadcast as the turning point in African Americans' push for Civil Rights Legislation. Very little has changed in 2020. To get justice, African Americans have to have overwhelming video proof. What's the danger? Unlike in 1965, Social Media giants have the power to "de-platform" users and suppress hashtags to keep them from going viral. If African-American think that social media is the key to American justice, we better be prepared not to get justice. What are the answers? Check out the podcast and then let me know what you think!

In Episode 22, I discuss the #NewNormal and How You Can Create Your #NewNormal by living like my Black Grandmother. The New Normal is forecasted to be an Orwellian existence where you must submit to temperature checks, prove that you have been vaccinated, work from home and pay high prices for everything from soap to meat. If you submit to the urban dream of living in exciting cities like New York and Atlanta, this might be your future. However, if you are willing to move to an urban community and live like my Black Grandmother, I promise you that life will be much better. My black grandmother had organic meat and veggies for every meal and never had to pay Sprouts a dime for that food. She grew it all in her 2-acre garden. She eat organic eggs for breakfast that she collected from the chicken coup in the front yard. She made her own home remedies to avoid the cost of high-priced medicines. Life wasn't always easy, but she and my grandfather lived free.

In Episode 21, I discuss how the world's leaders are using the Coronavirus -19 to end democracy as we know it. In Hungary, the prime minister, Viktor Orban, suspended the country's constitution and all future elections sighting the Coronavirus as the reason. The United States Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to suspend the "right to a hearing" and have asked for right to hold individuals indefinitely -- again sighting the Coronavirus as reasons for the request.

Gayle King interviewed WNBA Player, Lisa Leslie, about the life and legacy of the late #KobeBryant. Ms. King, typically a good interviewer, went too far into the deep of the pool with this interview. Lisa Leslie is not a "groupie" or "hanger-on" for NBA players. She is an accomplished athlete (former WNBA champion), graduate of USC, commentator for the Orlando Magic, coach in the Big3 league, and a personal friend of Kobe Bryant for more than a decade. Leslie is the perfect character witness, but Gayle King dismisses her as if she were a teenage girl with a boy-band crush. Nonetheless, there are three more things that I hated about the King interview.

The US Government (specifically Homeland Security) has decided to collect DNA samples . from hundreds of thousands of detained immigrants booked into federal immigration custody each year and to enter the results into a national criminal database -- a vast expansion beyond the original scope of the CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) Database.

In Episode 17, I ask the question Colin Kaepearnick: Greatest American Hero or Uncle Tom. Kaepearnick was not hired by any NFL teams following his "Take a Knee" protest two years ago. Kaepearnick won a settlement from the collusion law suite he launched against the NFL. This past week, Kaepearnick held a private workout for NFL executives in hopes of returning to the NFL. Many sports analysts and NFL players have come out against Kaepearnick attempt to return to the sport he played.

In this episode, I discuss the five (5) reasons why I believe the Atlanta Public Schools Board made the wrong decision by NOT renewing Dr. Meria Carstarphen's contract. Atlanta, Georgia is the largest majority black city among the seventeen cities with a population greater than 100,000 people. All of these cities (Atlanta, Augusta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Flint, Birmingham, Memphis, Montgomery, etc) are all suffering the same problem, Blacks have political power, but do not have the economic power to force or enforce the changes desperately needed the cities' poorest communities. Dr. Meria Carstarphen understood this problem when she accepted the role of Superintendent of the Atlanta Public Schools. When she arrived, APS was recovering from a district-wide cheating scandal and graduation rates were in the upper-fifties. By 2018, Dr. Carstarphen increased the graduation rate from 59.1% to 77% and 56 APS schools showed gains on the state's College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRF). Despite these gains, the APS Board decided not to renew Dr. Carstarphen's contract. The learn the Five (5) reasons why I think the APS Board made the wrong decision by NOT renewing Dr. Carstarphen's contract, listen to Episode 16 - 5 Reasons Why The APS Board Got It Wrong By Not Renewing Dr. Carstarphen's Contract.If you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, LIKE the show and FOLLOW me on Twitter at @PetersonThe or @Guerillapreneur.

In this episode, I discuss the Five (5) requirements I think Robert F. Smith should have made of #MorehouseStudents BEFORE paying off their student debt. Don't get me wrong, I truly admire what Dr. Robert Smith did for the #Morehouse students; however, I believe he could have created a legacy that could have span generations.In 1995, Minister Louis Farrakhan organized the Million Man March in Washington, DC. According to news reports, approximately 850 thousand men showed up for the March. Despite this monumental event, I bet dollars-to-donuts, that a majority of people under the age of 20 don't remember the #MillionManMarch or what it stood for. I don't want Robert F. Smith's legacy to be like the Million Man March -- Which is why I think he should have made these Five Requirements:He could forgive student debt for students who:1. buy homes in the community adjacent to Morehouse.2. work for or start a business in the community adjacent to Morehouse.3. teach for Atlanta Public Schools or Dekalb Public Schools.4. are accepted to an Accelerator like Atlanta's #theFARM/ #Boomtown (which is hosted by Comcast Universal)5. are accepted to a graduate Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Predictive Analytics program.To learn why I believe Robert F. Smith should have made these requirements, please listen to Episode 15 - 5 Requirements Robert F.

John Gallagher wrote a compelling article on August 12, 2019, in the Detroit Free Press that details that issues facing black-owned firms when seeking contracts in the city of Detroit. Gallagher points out that Detroit is 80% black and that the city has 49,000 black-owned firms. Despite these staggering statistics, very few firms are getting opportunities to redevelop the City, i.e., Ford's renovation of the Michigan Central Station and Little Caesars. Gallagher points to three reasons why black-owned firms are not getting these contracts:1. Cost of verification and certification (i.e., proving that they are minority-owned firms);2. Cost of integrating into the vendor management system; and3. Doubts about capacity.In this episode, I pick up where Gallagher leaves off and I try to find the root cause as to why black-owned firms are not competing with their white counterparts. The simple answer is - WE ARE THE ROOT CAUSE. Please listen to get an understanding as to why I make this declaration.If you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, LIKE the show and FOLLOW me on Twitter at @PetersonThe or @Guerillapreneur.

The #DeepState is at war with itself and that could mean that we may be on the verge of new war. This has been the pattern throughout history when #shadowgovernment members fight with each other. Most intelligent people realize that the drugs that come into this country make in through means of mass transportation, i.e., planes, trains, and boats. Who owns these means of mass transportation? The answer is governments and global banks -- which is why their assets are rarely ceased when drugs are discovered onboard. On July 4, the US Justice Department ceased a JPMorgan Chase boat in Pennsylvania that was carrying 20 Tons of Cocaine worth an estimated $1.3B. Typically, the drugs are ceased and the boats are allows to sail free -- not this time. This is an indication that the Deep State is at war with itself. For more details on why these boats are typically never stopped or boarded by DEA agents, listen to The Opperman Report podcast episode entitled "Daniel Hopsicker 20 tons coke JP Morgan Chase" https://www.spreaker.com/user/oppermanreport/daniel-hopsicker-container-ship-crime-waIf you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, LIKE the show and FOLLOW me on Twitter at @PetersonThe or @Guerillapreneur.

In this episode, I trace the patterns of blackouts in the country and conclude that we are under attack and that WWIII may have already begun -- not with bullets, but with computers. Here is the problem, I don't know if the war is between the USA and foreign powers (i.e., China, Russia, etc.) or between the USA and the #DeepState. By all indications, the cyber outages look like preparation for the day when Americans will take to the streets to demand a return of its democracy. As proof, look to Venezuela which has suffered rolling black outs and shortages. The outages we are facing are not random. They appear to be coordinated attacks that are occurring on the same dates across multiple platforms and industries. Maybe I am reading the data incorrectly.

I produced this episode in honor of LL Cool J (James Todd Smith) and Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson, Sr.) who have secured billions of dollars to buy several regional sports stations from Disney (https://www.tmz.com/2019/02/22/ice-cube-ll-cool-j-sports-tv-groups/). When most people think of rappers, they think of people who live lavish lifestyles who eventually end up broke. I am sure many people expected that to be the case with the members of the group NWA. If you follow the careers of many of that group’s members (Dr. Dre and Ice Cube specifically), you will see that these men were Entrepreneurs With Attitudes (EWA). Despite positive role models like LL Cool J and Ice Cube, Black wealth is America is declining the median household wealth is expected to hit ZERO by 2050. In this epsiode, I give you seven ways Black Americans can generate wealth. Follow these tactics and you can have the cash you need to start making major investments just like Cool J and the Cube.If you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, Like the show and follow me on Twitter at @PetersonThe or @Guerillapreneur.

Former Fox News Star and NBC morning personality, Megyn Kelly, has gotten herself into hotter because she stated that when she was a child wearing "blackface" was okay as long as you dressed as a character. In this episode, I dig deeper into the Blackface culture and show you have deep it runs around the globe. Nearly every major industrialized country has a form of blackface celebration that disparage people of color. In fact, the culture of Blackface runs so deep that I speculate that Mygen Kelly will be back on her feet and will sign a $100M contract to return to television. What evidence do I based my assumption on? Dozens of prominentactors have made the same mistake and all are working on projects bigger than the ones they had to vacate during the crisis. This will be no different.

What if I told you we are running out of the clean water and that many cities around the world (especially in African) are reach crisis point. What if I told the billionaires of the world are buying up the world's clean water supplies, technology and water rights in an effort to "corner the market." This is not the plot of a movie. This is today's reality. As we approach this water crisis, I strongly believe the world's governments have resorted to using weather modification technology to close the Water Gap. China has already admitted to using "Artificial Weather" to fight chronic water shortages that are happening in that country. However, the use the Weather Modification technology does not come without a price. In 1947, General Electric used dry ice to change the path of a Hurricane moving it westerly towards the state of Georgia causing significant damage and sparking several lawsuits. In 2009, China attempted to end a drought by using Weather Modification technology to produce artificial rain only to force a significant drop in temperature which resulted in closed roads and traffic jams.There are 56 countries using weather modification technology as a means to increase the amount water available to them. However, if they increase water for themselves, aren't they taking it from other people. In July, 2018, the Iranian government accused the Israeli government of stealing its rain clouds. The next great water will not be fought of oil, it will be fought over water....and in my opinion the Water Wars have already started.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-mark-peterson-show--652501/support.
