Is there a newer patreon RSS feed? The one I have plugged into my player cuts out at the 90s for whatever reason.

It really doesn't get said enough that think tanks don't have peer review and are intellectually worthless.

Kind of being contrarian here but another way to think of the think tank worthlessness is that they have very biased peers and overly aggressive peer review.

Having an editorial line doesn't really count as "peer review." Only the opinions of the people at the top count, they're not seeking review from the entire field of the think tank world.

I'm just pointing out that you can make a good argument that people working off the grid without sufficient oversight is almost the opposite of what is wrong with think tanks.

Half of me wants them to do an episode about the whole Kashoggi debacle, but the other half fears there's not much that can be done with it other than just going "Crazy, huh? This is where we're at."

Brown Moses just got hit with a Full Mark Ames: quote:Some of the best known Syria regime-change hustlers and “experts”—Eliot Higgins of Bellingcat and the Saudi-funded Atlantic Council; Charles Lister of the Saudi-funded Middle East Institute, former CNN “Syria expert” and Atlantic Council fellow Michael Weiss, all major figures promoting today’s RussiaGate hysteria—together helped transform the @ShamiWitness account from a cretinous troll into a credible “ISIS expert”. http://exiledonline.com/shamiwitness-when-bellingcat-neocons-collaborated-with-the-most-influential-isis-propagandist-on-twitter/

roflquote:Higgins began his “open source intelligence” career under a misleading avatar — “BrownMoses” — as if Higgins, a doughy pinkish Midlands gamer, was some kind of swarthy Middle Easterner whose friends’ and relatives’ lives were at stake.

I haven't listened to the episode yet, but as a brazilian? Local evangelical churches (which went from like 8% of the population to over 30% in a couple of decades) -abhor- liberation theology. And local folk religions like candomble. It's mostly a minor talking point now since they have much juicier targets (the left, gays, public education) as it becomes a proper power in Brazil. I remember it coming up in some of their sermons in the 90s when they were more focused on fighting the catholic church directly. Since then, they have mostly gone full culture war and just trusted that conservative cahtolics and people who like their religion active will migrate to them naturally, and they have mostly been right about it.

It'd be interesting to compare the spread of evangelicalism in the Christian countries of the global South to the spread of Wahabism/Salafism in Muslim countries. Both movements have US backers, and seem to have targeted domestic progressive political and religious movements as their main enemies.

I wonder what their respective budgets are like. The saudis have oil money and their mosques are everywhere but there's still a lot of dough floating around evangelical circles. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2017/november/where-evangelicals-donate-most-ecfa-ministry-giving-tuesday.html quote:Giving continues to rise for many categories of ministry, according to new research released today by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). However they only show year-over-year changes to different spending categories, not absolute amounts. I wonder how much central coordination there is among evangelical groups and how it compares to Wahhabi/Salafist groups? My gut feel is that it's more distributed but there's still probably lots of informal coordination through conferences and other organizations.

Having easier access to capital in the "Christian" world means a lot of these guys are heavily invested into resource operations in the third world. The 700 Club guy had African mines and was personal friends with Mobutu Sese Seko.
