Yes, congrats Ruth and Marc for an important and timely show amidst the current breakdown of the “old” world order.
I would like to share the 2013 essay by Gene Youngblood, “Secession from the Broadcast: The Internet and the Crisis of Social Control,” which has strong social and political connections to New World Order: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Secession_From_the_Broadcast The way out is via the door. Why is it that no one will use this method? — Confucius Also, I sent you Gene’s comments to the show via email.
