C/D: Dave Emory

heard this guy for the first time today without any prior knowledge of his schtick (he follows dj rupture, whose last podcast went 10 minutes into de's show). obsessive and crazy, but so articulate and oddly compelling.

also stop saying "milieu", jesus christ

reminded me of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr_3S4GcZNo

he's older and more professorial than i'd imagined.

As vet­eran users of this web­site (and vet­eran lis­ten­ers) know, I haven’t pro­duced new For The Record pro­grams for more than a year.

I reported that I had been obliged to sus­pend pro­duc­tion due to the pres­sures of the day job. (I live an artist’s lifestyle, using paid employ­ment to sus­tain myself while I do research, writ­ing and pro­gram production.)

This was a nec­es­sary obfus­ca­tion, under the circumstances.

In real­ity, I was seri­ously ill. I have main­tained my health very effec­tively over the years, on the balance.

I did let my den­tal health slide a bit, under the extreme pres­sures of the effort. A tooth became infected and the infec­tion spread.
I had to have major oral surgery and was hos­pi­tal­ized for a month. It was a very, very seri­ous situation.

Out of the hos­pi­tal and dan­ger, I am rehab­bing nicely and am await­ing the con­struc­tion and fit­ting of par­tial den­tures. I was unable to speak clearly for a long time, neces­si­tat­ing the hia­tus from broad­cast production.

For secu­rity rea­sons, I did not dis­close this when under­go­ing treatment–there are those ele­ments who wish me ill and I didn’t think it pru­dent to be com­pletely can­did, under the circumstances.

I will be resum­ing pro­gram pro­duc­tion very shortly. Until I have mas­tered my “new chops” and can speak with­out an imped­i­ment, the pro­grams will con­sist of rel­e­vant excerpts of the old Archive Shows with intro­duc­tions to be read by guest per­son­al­i­ties. This mate­r­ial will be new to the over­whelm­ing major­ity of listeners.

I will also be pro­duc­ing on-air inter­views with guests, with sur­ro­gate inter­view­ers pos­ing ques­tions which I will com­pose.
As soon as I am able, I will be back on the air in per­son. I do not think this will take very long, but, never hav­ing trav­eled down this par­tic­u­lar road, can’t say for absolute sure.

I have dri­ven myself relent­lessly for­ward for more than three decades and am com­mit­ted to the effort. Nonethe­less, being in my six­ties, I will be tak­ing more time to “smell the flow­ers,” so to speak.

From the feed­back I’ve got­ten over the years, it has become appar­ent that many (if not most) of the lis­ten­ers do not under­stand the truly Spar­tan and Her­culean nature of my effort over the years. I will be sus­tain­ing that effort, but will be a lit­tle kinder to myself.

The Zero Hedge guy has nothing on Dave when it comes to high-level macro-conspiracy analysis that's either uranium-grade bulldada or the hidden truth about everything

Listened to his first post-Trump election episode. He's rightfully become the guy wearing an "I told you the End Times were coming!" sandwich board.
