TMI 01/31/2025 – Clara Mattei Introduces Us to the Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE), The History of AIDS & How Big Pharma Kills for Profit, Obsolescence Was Invented to Make Billionaires, more

We are joined once again by Professor Clara Mattei, Director of the nascent Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at the University of Tulsa. CHE’s entire mission is formed around breaking the grip of the exploitative model of economics we are all too familiar with and finding a better path. Listen in to give the middle finger to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand.

Then, we look at how the history of the AIDS epidemic is rife with examples of how Big Pharma places its unquenchable thirst for exorbitant profits far above any concern for the lives its wondrous medicines could save. Finally, Jessica Wildfire’s post at The Sentinel Intelligence tells how obsolescence was an idea purposefully put into place to ensure the profits kept rolling in – right to the top!

TMI 01/24/2025 – Bishop Budde’s Own Words of Mercy, SCOTUS Calls Montana’s ISL Bluff, Our Friend Ahmed Shows Beauty During Hardship, Alabama Uses Prisoners Like Slaves, more

Bishop Mariann Budde is being attacked mercilessly for calling for mercy. We start this episode with something her detractors in the Trump Administration and the media won’t give you: her own words. You can judge for yourself if anything she gave in her appeal to President Trump for mercy was remotely “nasty” or even vaguely wrong. Next, We look at how SCOTUS has rejected Montana’s attempt to use the Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory to circumvent their courts’ rulings on their measures to suppress voting – SCOTUS got this one right!

Then, we give a special look at misterG’s report on his friend Ahmed, a wonderful musician and teacher living in Gaza who has been steadfast in spreading music despite the genocidal warfare there. For more, be sure to tune into greenarrowradio on WSUM 91.7FM Saturday, January 25, 2025 or stream it live on wsum.org.

Finally, we look at how Alabama’s “work release” program makes the state so much money that they don’t like granting parole – it reduces the number of prisoners they can profit from. All this and more on TMI for Friday, January 24, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 01/17/2025 – Amanda Moore Sounds Alarm on Journalism Under Trump, SCOTUS Sides With Hawaii Over Big Oil, DoJ Report on Tulsa Massacre of 1921 Released, Tryptophan Tripped Life’s Beginnings, more

We start this episode with an interview of Amanda Moore, freelance journalist specializing in exposing the far right in the USA, as she alerts us to how the normally difficult life of freelance reporting is being made all the more tenuous by the incoming Trump Administration – even before inauguration! Next, we head to SCOTUS, where the Justices have cleared the way for Hawaii to continue their lawsuit against Big Oil for their decades of greenwashing propaganda.

Then, we go over the new and comprehensive report that Biden’s Department of Justice just released on the over-100-year-old Tulsa Race Massacre. Unlike the first DoJ report from 1921, this 126 page report goes over every crime committed upon the Greenwood community of Tulsa during that horrific event. Finally, tryptophan, the amino acid that is associated with getting sleepy, snuck in during our nap and upset how we envisioned the beginning of life on Earth.

BEST OF TMI 01/10/2025 – SCOTUS Trans Youth Rights Case Can Destroy All Women’s Rights, Finland Seizes Russian Spy Ship, Fighting Smear Campaign Against Jimmy Carter, Quantum Teleportation Breakthrough, more

Rebroadcasting the first TMI for 2025, we look at how the arguments being used to take rights away from trans youth would, if allowed to be the basis by SCOTUS for their decision, also decimate rights for all women in the United States, cis and trans alike! Next, we move over to Finland, who in investigating the damage caused to the power cable that connects Estonia to their grid, took in a tanker that had a full complement of Russian spy equipment and personnel.

Then, we look at the despicable attacks being leveled against former President Jimmy Carter by CNN, Fox and others, all based around his 2006 book where he recalled his attempts in the late 1970s to make peace between Israel and Palestine, referring to Israel as an “apartheid” state. They dug up all the old controversy without noting that NONE of what Carter reported would be considered remotely inaccurate today. Finally, we take a glimpse at a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, where they were able to instantaneously transmit the complete photonic state between locations separated by 30km worth of very busy Internet fiber cable.
