In our last interview with media theorist and author Douglas Rushkoff, we looked at how humans have unwittingly become the product. Unwittingly because the design of the technology to meaningfully connect people is a parasite masquerading as something beneficial. In reality, most big tech social media software was designed to create addiction and ultimately stays true with profiting through the centuries old expansionist economic system. Big tech extracts money from the marketplace and then stores it as share price. Land and labor are devalued and missing from the basic factors of production, leaving capital as the one goal for shareholders. This is the dominant system that flourishes in the emerging digital industry. These concepts are part of what Douglas Rushkoff distills in the book Throwing Rocks At the Google Bus: How Growth Became The Enemy of Prosperity. It was published a couple years before Team Human.

Rushkoff asks what happened to the opportunity to innovate and reinvigorate economic and business models with new digital tools that might promise to usher in an era of distributed prosperity? Instead something similar to a digital colonialism has been created.

As corporations dominate the digital economic landscape and most people are keeping pace to survive, algorithms are killing jobs. More than two thirds of job loss is from being replaced by a machine.

There are other nefarious practices conducted by big tech that have impacted the United States’ democratic process and basic civil rights. Those practices include censorship and vote manipulation. For example big tech monopolies such as Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter have been exposed in their effort to subversively deplatform and censor conservative political perspectives, without much opposition.

In his written testimony before the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Dr. Robert Epstein, a Senior Research Psychologist, American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, wrote ” to let Big Tech companies get away with invisible manipulation on this scale would be to abandon the free-and-fair election, a cornerstone of democracy. It would make democracy meaningless, even if your chosen candidate prevailed.”

Guest – author Douglas Rushkoff, who is also a broadcaster. He hosts the podcast Team Human and has written twenty books including Present Shock, Media Virus, Team Human and Siberia. Rushkoff has originated concepts such as viral media and social currency. He is also the leading voice for applying digital media toward social and economic justice.

We continue our conversation with Harry Hubbard but move from the topic of the ancient repository at the Southern Illinois Cave site to evidence of a cavernous entrance at the north pole that could lead to the inner Earth. The evidence is based on Harry Hubbard’s presentation titled Lazeria Map collection. Together with his research colleague Paul Schaffranke, Harry combs through key maps from the 16th and 17th centuries showing evolution of coastlines, anomalous islands that may have sunk into the Arctic Ocean and the four islands at the North Pole separated by northward flowing rivers.

We’ll hear accounts from 17th century explorers describing the regions at the top of the physical North Pole. This evidence has been engraved and printed by cartographers hundreds of years ago. It’s a matter of translating German, Latin and other early script, taking the time to read the detailed descriptions and that’s the work that Harry and Paul have done. Harry Hubbard joins us again to talk about this presentation, the Hollow Earth and early map references to Atlantis. Originally broadcast March 2015

In this day and age, in order to control people and maintain a predictable, manipulated global economy, you have to know what people are thinking. The NSA continues to vacuum up every domestic email, phone call and text message being sent in this country and last month the U.S. Congress voted to pass a bill extending, for another six years, the NSAs practice of internet surveillance. Yet beneath the surface of mainstream consciousness, a war of an even more domestic covert surveillance operation rages on. In addition, the technology used to secretly harass and spy on civilians known as electronic gangstalking is often cutting edge military grade equipment. In past shows, many guests have shared their surveillance and gangstalking experiences such as Carissa Conti, Dr. John Hall, Richard Bruce, Robert Guffey, Don and Carol Croft, Laura Weise to name a few. Despite the news blackout, the New York Times published a feature story on gangstalking, though a hit piece, it was nonetheless many years late to the scene as mainstream press is often known to be on certain issues until they become unbearably obvious. We take another look at the secret surveillance world and electronic gangstalking from the perspective of a long time surveillance counter measure expert Roger Tolces.

Guest – Roger Tolces started Advanced Electronic Security Company in 1972. In 1978, he coined the term electronic harassment. Rogers company specializes in technical surveillance counter measures such as bugsweeping for telephone line bugs and computer data line taps and electronic room sweeping. www.bugsweeps.com

In May of 2019, the Staten Island Borough President James Oddo announced the creation of the Council on Boys and Men becoming the first government agency to address the alarming risk factors to American males. Being the only media present, revealed another crisis, the social climate for American boys is unfriendly, ideological and warped by discriminating gatekeepers.

Author Dr. Warren Farrell, was among the speakers, his recently published book titled The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling And What We Can Do About It was the blueprint for this government council. In 2016, past guest Christina Hoff Sommers, former philosophy professor and author of The War Against Boys, on this show, exposed some of the research by renowned feminist Carol Gilligan as statistically false yet it had been adopted by the U.S. Department of Education. Since the late 90s, this research had been the foundation for the projected image of female students as the oppressed and male students as predator or oppressors. Dr. Farrell has also since reframed this false projection in that both men and women are oppressed and when one sex wins, both sexes lose. When both sexes lose, ask yourself who stands to gain?

The Boy Crisis expounds on data collected from generations of men growing up without fathers. The statistics on employment, suicide rates, incarceration, mental health and higher education reveal a silent war waged against the expendable male.

Guest – Dr. Warren Farrell is an educator, activist and author of seven books on men and women’s issues. His books include The Myth of Male Power, Women Can’t Hear What Men Don’t Say, Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men? and Why Men Are The Way They Are. Youtube-drwarrenfarrell

On this show the topic of organized stalking and covert microwave frequency torture and harassment is explored because cases are now known to be at epidemic levels. But also because the large media outlets such as the New York Times are reporting it with condescension and lack of respect. In their article titled United States of Paranoia: They See Gangs of Stalkers, the possibility of actual organized efforts to stalk individuals is played down and then victims are lumped into a category of mental illness. There was also a convenient lack of critical information about the use of psychotronic weapons such as voice to skull technology. This isn’t surprising to many listeners considering Operation Mockingbird and the CIA involvement with organized stalking. Among the targeted silently suffering are activists, empaths, single women, and as you’ll hear, those with psychic abilities and an affinity with the natural world. People reaching out to others for help to end voice to skull and microwave attacks are usually treated with disdain by friends, colleagues, law enforcement and mental health specialists when describing their situation.
