TMI 10/24/2020 – Carl Gibson Packs the Courts, Same Words – Different Meaning, and Hey Google, What’s Antitrust?

On this episode of TMI:

Friend of the program Carl Gibson has a new piece out at the Independent called “The most democratic thing Joe Biden could do is pack the courts” – he joins us to discuss why this vilified idea is a good one.

Then, we talk about how the very same words often seem to have two completely different meanings depending on your political viewpoint – could Artificial Intelligence allow computers to help undo this language gridlock?

Finally, we break down the antitrust case being brought down on Google, and examine how other online giants like Amazon, Facebook and others may not be far behind. All this and more on TMI’s special Saturday edition for October 24, 2020 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

The University of Wisconsin – Madison’s own engineers pioneered the badger shield and badger shield plus early on in the pandemic to help increase the safety of essential workers, and now they’ve come up with a way to make all face masks much more efficient in the fight against COVID-19. Check it out!

Then, we discuss the voter purge effort that sits in front of Wisconsin’s notoriously conservative Supreme Court, before diving into the presidential debate that Trump used as a platform to issue orders to the Proud Boys.

Finally, nuclear fusion, an energy technology that’s always been decades in the future may finally be within our grasp! All this and more on TMI for Friday, October 2, 2020 – listen in for your Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 09/25/2020 – Carl Gibson Declares Second Civil War, Gov Evers Declares New Emergency, Wargaming Strategist Declares Dismay

Friend of TMI Carl Gibson joins us to discuss his piece at Free Chicken and Beer, entitled “Civil War II is Already Underway”, and how we need to fight to preserve the Union.

Then, we cover Governor Evers’ latest COVID-19 Emergency Order, and why it is we can’t seem to just cooperate to flatten the curve.

Finally, we discuss a piece from wargame designer (and military history buff) Mike Selinker that defines four possible outcomes of November’s Presidential election, and he agrees with Carl Gibson: it looks like civil war to him.

On this week’s TMI with Aldous Tyler:

Fossil fuel giant Chevron has found an Orwellian way to connect sunshine with drilling fracking wells– so much so, that I’m dubbing them “OrWells”. Friend of the show Steve Horn returns to fill in the maddening details on that story as well as how a California official got in trouble for wanting to “block out the Sun” and finally how prisoner firefighters might get their due for their unrewarding work to keep us safe, all stories Steve broke on The Real News Network in the past week!

Then, we discuss how barely over half of the potential voters who are impoverished and low-wage came out to vote in 2016, and how this bloc of voters can easily swing the tide of the all-important Senate battle in November.

Finally, we give credit where due to a wonderful victory, congratulating Cori Bush on defeating an incumbent whose family occupied the Congressional seat for over 50 years. All that and more was on TMI for Friday, August 14th, which aired 5PM Central on WSUM 91.7 FM in Madison! Listen in and lock on to the Cure for the Common Media.

Trump and the GOP are playing us AGAIN. By attacking vote-by-mail as being highly prone to fraud by voters (it’s not, BTW), he’s tricked the establishment Dems into a full throated defense of it. Why is that a problem? Because voting by mail DOES have a major flaw, but IN TRUMP’S FAVOR: many, and I mean MANY places have managed to put regulations and shady tricks in place to cause MILLIONS of mailed votes to be discarded by those we’ve trusted to COUNT them. And whose votes are the most likely to be discarded? College students, black people and low-income city folk… in other words, demographics the GOP does very poorly with.

But don’t take my word for it. Greg Palast has it all laid out in his book, “How Trump Stole 2020”. I am providing a link for you here to get your own copy. Don’t be fooled into JUST voting by mail: be sure to steal your vote BACK.

Also in the episode: figures don’t lie, but liars do figure, and that’s never been more true than with the current pandemic. Listen in on how to properly understand the numbers, and how to tell when someone’s abusing them to distort reality.

Finally, we talk about the federal response to Portland’s BLM/George Floyd protest, and how those aren’t ACTUALLY all FEDERAL agents bring used against the protestors.

As the polls go, it looks more and more likely that there’s no way Trump could possibly win the next election. However, that might not matter because, with a combination of tricks used in 2016 and brand new avenues that have been opened up since, Trump has already stolen the 2020 election.

But don’t lose hope! Joining us this episode is Greg Palast, author of “How Trump Stole 2020”, and he’s not only here to outline how the crime was committed, but how we can steal it back. You’d better listen in (and should probably get the book), if the integrity of your vote means anything to you at all.

Anthony R. Inagraffea Election Integrity Electoral Politics Episode Fracking Voter ID WSUM

TMI 9/13/2014 – Anthony Ingraffea and the Science of Fracking, Walker’s Stunning Voter I.D. Win, and much more!

We’ve discussed fracking – the practice formally called hydraulic fracturing – and have had on Steve Horn of DeSmogBlog and others to tell us what the oil and gas industry is up to with implementing it. Today we warmly welcome Anthony R. Inagraffea, Dwight C. Baum Professor of Engineering and Weiss Presidential Teaching Fellow at Cornell University, who knows the actual scientific and engineering principles behind fracking. We’ll discuss what parts of the hydraulic fracturing process have been shown to be environmentally hazardous, and what parts, if any, have been shown to be safe. You want the facts? We’ve got them.

Then, a Federal Appeals Court on Friday overturned a lower-court ban on Wisconsin’s Voter ID law. There has been no small amount of misunderstanding about why this law is a problem, so we will analyze it and see how this could truly make a mess of the voting process on November 4.
