The Ochelli Effect – Resistance War Against America
From Ochelli.com
The Resistance War Against America is better known as The Vietnam War. Mike Swanson is currently working on a series of books devoted to the war.
Chuck and Mike discussed a wide range of individuals and historical realities related to many aspects of the conflict. Chuck discusses the flow of events in 1967 and 1968 while Mike fills in some recently revealed information regarding the Defense Secretary at the time.
This conversation was not planned and provides some remarkable insights into a rather dark chapter in American History.
In hour two, Pearse Redmond joined the show and discussed the most recent military coup in Bolivia. President Evo Morales seems to have stood in the way of multinational corporate cabals and their interests in the natural resources of Bolivia. Pearse discussed the idea that minerals often associated with batteries may have been the issue that was Morales undoing.
The pressures and general conditions of narco-trafficking are examined alongside the curious grant of asylum by another state struggling with Narco-concerns, Mexico.
Show Notes:
Bolivia coup led by Christian fascist paramilitary leader and millionaire – with foreign support

Porkins Policy Radio episode 200 Maybe Q Killed Epstein with Robbie Martin and Ed Opperman
This weeks episode marks not only the 200th episode of PPR but also the start of my show hiatus while I work on my Epstein book. For this momentous occasion I had two good friends of the show join me. In the first hour Robbie Martin and I talked about the return of Qanon as well as the rebranded 8kun image board. We discussed the series of cryptic messages that Q has recently posted and how this has been interpreted by his followers. Robbie and I focused on the cult-like devotion that the Q followers have for their mysterious guru. We also touched on how the Q community has continued to influence the mainstream discourse. Robbie talked about the current Trump look back investigation into the origins of RussiaGate, and how this demonstrates the power of this conspiracy theory. We briefly touch on Tulsi Gabbard’s recent bump in the polls and her continued charade as an anti-war candidate.
In the second hour Ed Opperman joined me to talk about the subject that first brought us together four years ago, the Jeffrey Epstein case. Ed and I talked about the recent Project Veritas “bombshell” report, which features ABC’s Amy Robach on a hot mic talking about the outlet spiking her Epstein report. We talked about how this is not neither new news and how this adds nothing to the discussion of Epstein and his crimes. Ed also gave us an insight into the nasty world of criminal justice. We looked at the criticism of people like Lisa Bloom, as well as the good versus evil mentality that many have when it comes to this case. Ed also talked about the media’s continued campaign of misinformation on Epstein and his conspirators. We discussed the idea that the media is still actively protecting those who knew about Epstein’s crimes, including people like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. Later Ed touched on the coordinated meme-wars on social media related to Epstein. We focused on the #EpsteinCoverup and #EpsteinDidntKillHimself hash tags on Twitter and elsewhere.
This week Robbie Martin joined me for the first installment in our new monthly series which looks at the Qanon conspiracy theory and its impact on society at large. We started by discussing the fact that Q has not posted anything since August 1st (due to the 8chan’s removal). Robbie talked about how the Qanon community has handled the absence of “Q drops.” This has mainly taken the form of Q followers believing that Trump’s tweets are now coded messages from Q. We then looked at how Trump himself has become an active participant in the conspiracy theory. Robbie talked about how unprecedented it is to have a sitting president seeding a conspiracy theory, and simultaneously being viewed as the hero in the narrative. Robbie also discussed the historical roots of the Qanon theory and its connections to PizzaGate. He talked about how Qanon evolved out of PizzaGate and the possible role that people like Erik Prince and Steve Pieczenik have played in promoting it. We finished off by looking at how the Qanon theory has influenced the public’s understanding of the recent scandal involving Trump, Biden, and Ukraine.
In the second hour I open the phone lines. Jon Gold called in and gave us an update on the ongoing 9/11 lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. We talked about Barr’s decision to release the name of the high ranking Saudi official who was overseeing the two San Diego hijackers. Later, I talked about the allegations that Iran was behind the recent attack on two Saudi oil facilities. I laid out my reasons for why the US was so quick to shift blame away from the Houthis. I also explored the idea that Iran was behind the attack.

Writer, comedian, and University of Bath teaching fellow, Matthew Alford joined me to discuss his latest book Union Union Jackboot: What Your Media and Professors Don’t Tell You About British Foreign Policy, which we co-authored with TJ Coles. We started off the conversation by discussing the unique structure of the book. Matt and I talked about the perception of British foreign policy we see today in the media. We touch on the brutal legacy the British Empire has had around the world, and take shots at some of the UK’s sacred cows like Winston Churchill. We also discussed why the media, Conservatives, and many in Labour despises Jeremy Corbyn. We talked about the way that Corbyn is perceived, many times incorrectly. Matt also talks about Brexit and why we should never feel sorry for Theresa May. Later we talked about the destructive role British foreign policy plays in seemly mundane affairs like clothing industry. We also touched on Britain’s role more recently in Sri Lanka and Nigeria.
This week Folie à Deux joined me to discuss Black Budget, the new comic series he wrote and illustrated. The discussion opened talking about the comic itself, which addresses mind control and MK Ultra. The history of MK Ultra and other government-sponsored programs fill the discourse and the book. We also discussed how this topic is covered in the alternative media and conspiracy culture. Later some of the hidden messages and Easter eggs throughout Black Budget are revealed. We also talked about the 1983 invasion of Grenada and the subsequent bombing of a mental hospital which some have suggested was a site of mind control experiments. Also discussed are the connections between Grenada and Jim Jones and many more real life easter eggs.
Tuesday - Robbie Martin joins us for an in-depth look into the most recent saber rattling between the US and North Korea. We start off by talking about the general hysterical political rhetoric that we see here in the US. Robbie and I touch on the size of Trump's nuclear button as an example. Next Robbie and I explore the strange stories that emerged just before the new year talking about North Korea's anthrax weapon program. Robbie and I talk about the Ashai Shimbun article that kick started the bogus story, as well as the multiple reports of a North Korean defector with anthrax antibodies in his system. Robbie talks about the problems with this narrative and its similarities to the 2001 Anthrax Attacks. We also look into the science behind these claims and debunk the notion that you can even house anthrax in an ICBM. Later Robbie and I talk about the anti-war movements continued decay, and the lack of voices speaking out against the threat of war in North Korea. Robbie talks about the difficulties in defending the North Korean people. We talk about the ways in which they have become so demonized that most average people could care less if they were murdered by the US military.
In the second hour Robbie discusses his work looking into the 2001 Anthrax Attacks. We discuss how they have fallen off as a topic of discussion and research. Robbie talks about the widespread use of Cipro during this time, and the dangers of using antibiotics unless you are truly sick. We also talk about whistleblower Matt DeHart and his connection to the anthrax investigation. Later Robbie and I dive head first into the latest iteration of Pizzagate by looking into "QAnon". We discuss what the QAnon story is, its origins, and how it is just the latest example of controlled opposition. The two of us explain why this should not be taken seriously, and look into the sad state that the MAGA movement finds themselves in.
11/14/2017 Tuesday - Tom Secker joins me in the first hour to discuss the upcoming Netflix movie about Anders Behring Brevik and the Oslo and Utoya Island attacks. Tom and I talk about why the film is being made now and the state funding it is receiving from the Norwegian government. We then talk about the writer and director of this film Paul Greengrass. Tom explains his career as a government propagandist and focuses on his film United 93. We then talk about the aspects of the attack we anticipate Greengrass and Netflix will leave out of the film. We discuss Breivik's politics and how they have become adopted by much of the alt and far right in recent times. Tom discusses the notion that the attack may have been intended as a message to far right groups to further embrace this political ideology. We also touch on the idea that this was a Gladio style event, and whether or not Brevik was working for others. Later Tom and I talk about former Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and his current job as Secretary General of NATO. We discuss NATO's role as it exists today and the power it has. Tom and I finish off by discussing our final episode in our review of House of Cards. I also update the listeners about the return of Porkins Great Game.
In the second hour I rant about the recent political purge in Saudi Arabia and the larger implications of it. I talk about Mohammad bin Salman's alleged corruption and liberalization campaigns, and how he is using this as a smoke screen for his larger political ambitions. I discuss my thoughts on the forced resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri by the Saudi's. I talk about how Hariri and Lebanon are being used as a proxy battleground between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Yemen and the famine is also discussed. I finish off by laying out my theory that this is the foreign policy nightmare we can expect from Donald Trump. I also mention the rumors that Trump was bribed directly by Mohammad bin Salman, and how this might explain the recent developments across the middle east.
