Source: smellslikehumanspirit.com



Our guest for Episode 69 of the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast is Abraham Bolden. Mr. Bolden is a former United States Secret Service agent and author of ‘The Echo From Dealey Plaza’. He was personally appointed to the Secret Service White House detail by President John F. Kennedy after meeting him on April 28th 1961, and as a result became the first African-American to achieve this honor.

He traveled to Washington in the Spring of 1964 to tell the staff of the Warren Commission about a secret Chicago assassination plot against JFK. Shortly thereafter he was arraigned on federal charges that he had solicited a bribe from a counterfeiting ring that he had helped break, and subsequently spent six years in prison.

Tom Secker | The Theory and Practice of Predictive Programming, February 5, 2013

Source: smellslikehumanspirit.com



Predictive programming is the theory that the public's responses to events such as grand-scale terrorism are pre-conditioned through cultural production. Proponents of this theory point to elements in television, film, and literature that have seemingly foreshadowed catastrophes before they have occurred, and suggest that the collusion between intelligence agencies and media institutions is much deeper than is given credit for.

Tom Secker, the British-based writer, researcher, and filmmaker, argues that we can be quite certain that this is a real phenomenon. In this episode, we critically examine some of the main tenets of the predictive programming concept, discuss his recent article on the CIA's Operation Mockingbird, and take a look at the reasons why we have seen a rise in the 'morally ambiguous protagonist' in popular culture.

Source: smellslikehumanspirit.com, corbettreport.com



"Mass education was designed to turn independent farmers into docile, passive tools of production. That was its primary purpose. And don't think people didn't know it. They knew it and they fought against it." - Noam Chomsky

Is the purpose of mass education social upliftment, or rather, social control? To explore this question, we were joined by James Corbett of the Corbett Report, marking his third appearance on the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast.

Keelan Balderson | Going Against The Grain, Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast, September 18, 2012

Source: smellslikehumanspirit.com

Young people everywhere are waking up, questioning the system, and discussing new ways for humans to operate in the uncertain future ahead. Although the self-proclaimed 'elites' would have you believe that the activist spirit awakened in the young is a result of groundless optimism, naivety, and a lack of understanding, those with peripheral and critical vision can see clearly that we are in the midst of an unprecedented revolution: a revolution of the mind. The youth are at the forefront of this revolution.

Going against the grain can be challenging, and to discuss this, we welcomed to our podcast Keelan Balderson, a freelance journalist, documentary filmmaker, and internet radio host from the UK. In our interview, we also touch on the causes and dynamics of the 2011 London Riots (and Keelan's documentary on the subject). Enjoy! ~Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast
