The Mike Madison Show
A little bit about the Democrat debate and the corrupt Clinton machine along with a few notable news stories from the headline
While our kings and queens sit on their thrones in judgement of us all, I retreat into my mind and smile as I recount a favorite dream where the people call them out and the thrones get hot.
What were we taught in history class? Are we given the facts of events from the past or merely the narrative or interpretation of events by the person recounting the story? And does this matter? If "History is our guide", then isn't it important to know that we really might not know true history?
Despite what our politicians and media might tell you, you are NOT too dumb to run your own life. You are not too weak to provide for yourself and your family. You are not too dense to figure things out on your own. And you are not too stupid to think for yourself. You don't have to be a great leader of others, but blindly following those posing as "leaders" is never for the good of the people.
With chaotic staock markets across the globe, many are wondering if we are entering another financial crisis - or is this just a typical market pullback? A few disturbing signs might be appearing.
2015 seemed to be a very chaotic year. New wars, new financial fears and a volitile stock market, ISIS and Russia's engagement in the MIddle East. It seems each year brings a more frenzied blitz of headlines that point to a chaotic world. Will 2016 continue this trend or is the worst behind us?
Following up on the last podcast which asked the question - is it mass mental illness that gets Americans behind endless war and suffering around the planet? Or is it possible that we've been tricked into it?
With the release of the new Star Wars movie tomorrow, it might be worth asking ourselves "What side are we on?" If we take an objective look at the American Empire we've become, are we more like Luke or Darth Vader?
There are 2 easy steps to dramatically reducing gun violence - so why does nobody mention them?
In a world of 7 billion people, how is it possible that such a small group of people can cause such misery and strife without any accountability? Actually, history shows us that it is really quite easy for them. The question is why do we put up with it?
More insanity in the Middle East - supported and funded by the US Taxpayer.
If you liked World War 2, you're gonna love the next one. Soon?
Most Americans might be surprised to realize they are supporting ISIS and worldwide terror. But should they be surprised?
Is America's Veterans Day just a show - devoid of any substance and simply a chance for people to pat themselves on the back for being so thoughtful and patriotic? What are we doing for our veterans the other 364 days of the year?
The American people are constantly barraged by talking points from the media, politicians and the government. But does repeating it loudly and often make it true?
While the vast majority of people understand that they are being lied to, we will take a look at eight of the Big Ones. You've heard them all, but the question is - do you believe it? In the face of continual instances showing that these talking points are little more than propoganda fed to citizenry, why is it that we seem to keep falling for it?
The world seems to be an increasingly uneasy place these days. Mike will take a look at where things stand now and explore where they might be headed.
Are we entering a time of increased tumult? Or are we just seeing the ordinary, sometimes bumpy, progress of the world?
Americans know that the system has broken down. It is corrupted and abused. Yet most Americans continue to keep their faces in their smartphone, or focus only on social media or sports. Have we really become a country of ignorant cowards accepting anything thrown at us? Mike Madison will go through a long list of craziness that a thinking population would never allow - yet it has become just "normal" life in America.
Exposing the lies, damned lies, and the liars that sell them.
You know the American people are fed up with the system when a meglomaniac and a socialist top the charts! The election of either of them could cause untold unintended consequences which we will discuss on today's show. Mike Madison will share his understanding of the current political climate, but challenge the results and choices the American people are being given.
As the 2016 election season starts in earnest, Mike Madison will take a look at the candidates, debates and the ridiculousness of it all. Americans will be facing 15 long months of listening to pandering candidates and party loyalist commentators and citizens. It is a relentless onslaught of babble. There has become so little difference between the two parties that the results of elections are the same regardless of who wins.
We will also take a look at the escalating trend toward a deeper system of socialism as the country continues to become unraveled financially.
Lastly, we will discuss a true "Let Them Eat Cake!" moment in today's White House and the "Small Governement" Republicans latest attack on state's rights.
As the political election season heats up, it's time to get the people to turn on one another and line up behind their party. That game has worked well for the politicians, but the people can see the results that they are getting. Mike Madison takes a look at the ridiculousness of the political theater fed to the people again in the lead up to the 2016 elections.
Join Mike Madison for this look at how he took control of his own health and well-being and escaped the healthcare treadmill most people are on. Mike will discuss the simple steps he took to dramatically improve his health once he did his own research and took responsibility for feeling better.
This doesn't seem right. Am I seeing this correctly?
Join Mike Madison for another "the world is completely upside down" episode.
Am I the only person who is seeing a world completely devoid of reality? Does anyone else look at things as they are today and ask "Why"? Or, "How"? I'll explore the state of "things" as they exist - or seem to exist - and ask the questions that I have about the path we are taking politically and as a society.
Our country has some choices to make in the upcoming election. Unfortunately, the reality of the choices is quite different from the way they are framed in the media and by the candidates themselves. We'll take a look at those choices today on the Mike Madison Show
November 25, 2014 - Last night the decision of the grand jury in Ferguson, MO to not seek charges against the white police office who fatally shot a young un-armed black man set off protests, riots and violence across the country. While this shooting incident has sparked outrage across the nation, especially in the black community, the reasons for the chaos following the grand jury's announcement has been a long time coming. And it will KEEP coming.
The US has SYSTEMIC problems. This is simpy a reaction to many of those problems. We have an institutional system of division here. And until people of all political views understand that and begin to root out the causes for it, Ferguson will just the beginning.
While the Republican Party made headlines winning the majority of seats in both houses of Congress, very little will actually change.
Mike Madison discusses the election and the illusion of choice between two political parties. If you think that there is actually any substantive difference between the GOP and the Democrats in office, then you have been listening to the rhetoric and ignoring the results.
Mike also takes a look at President Obama's choice to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General and the Obamacare architect who just said the "stupidity of the American voter" helped pass the Obamacare legislation.
It's November 4th, 2014 - Election Day in the US. Another round of elections pitting the two corrupt major politican parties against each other to once again give the American people the illusion of choice. While it has become increasingly more obvious to most people, over the past few decades, that the Republicans and the Democrats are simply two sides of the same coin, the show that they put on every two years is purely spectacle to fool people into thinking that we have some kind of voice in our government.
The American government was purchased long ago by the money elite which has created the political elite we see now. Both parties are massive spenders with ever increasing appetites for taxpayer money and larger and larger government.
Sadly, too many Americans want to just be on a team. They participate in the "us against them" every two to four years, and they celebrate their victories and decry their defeats. But what escapes them all is that regardless of who wins - nothing changes.
So, as we all line up dutifully behind our dear "leaders" as faithful sheep with votes to give, I must ask - "Are we really this Stupid?"
