Higher Side Chats Introduction and Technocratic Control Grid
Greg Carlwood introduces the podcast, contrasting the modern era of worldly frustration with Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1930s fireside chats. The monologue addresses corporate consolidation of news media, CIA infiltration, and the rise of a technocratic control grid. Carlwood argues that society has been sucked into a tech addiction and nutrient-deprived state, making it difficult to process psychological warfare.

00:51 Which means you'll unfortunately never hear my voice again. 1930s President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the fireside chats His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times From 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration we offer a fresh conversation, I'm Greg Carlwood
01:27 These are the Hireside Chats. Happy days are here again, Hireside Chatters from sunny San Diego! I'm Greg Carlwood just trying to keep my head above water despite the rising tides of tyranny and rage...and aren't we all? The intensity of our times cannot be overstated as the oily appendages of the nefarious few are squeezing much harder than usual these days though the foundation was laid long ago We watched the corporate consolidation and CIA infiltration of our news media occur without much of a fight, as they selectively showed us stories and images to elicit the response they want when they want. We stood in line at the Apple store allowing ourselves to get sucked into a crack-like tech addiction knowing in the back of our minds that this slippery slope would one day get too steep to stand on
02:13 We did not do enough when corporate giants took a free and open wiki-wiki wild, wild web and consolidated our attention to a few highly controlled platforms that are slowly pushing alternative thought outside the circle. We're sleep deprived, nutrient deprived, and improperly prepared to process this level of control and psychological warfare sanely! So we acquiesce, self-medicate and sulk as the technocratic control grid advances more each day. And not even the king of Staten Island can save you now! But maybe it's not too late to go back and honestly assess how we got here? Maybe we can take a deeper look at the handful of people driving the big machine with their so called philanthropic foundations and psychopathic philosophies... ...and help enough of us see through this spell that we CAN course correct
