About this episode

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

Podcast Summary: "And Another Thing With Dave" - Episode with Porkchop and Hellitutor (Part 4 of 4)

In the final installment of this four-part series, Dave Smith engages with Porkchop and Hellitutor, wrapping up their extensive discussion on international relations, historical context, and the implications of current events. Key topics discussed include:


The Financial Motives Behind Wars: The conversation highlights how financial interests drive U.S. involvement in wars, with weapons manufacturers profiting from conflicts and companies like BlackRock benefiting from reconstruction contracts.


Historical Context of U.S. Involvement: The group reflects on the U.S.'s historical role in World War II, discussing how the U.S. initially profited from the war by supplying arms and materials before officially entering the conflict after the attack on Pearl Harbor.


The Nature of International Justice: They question the legitimacy of the U.S. and Israel's lack of participation in the International Criminal Court (ICC) despite their historical involvement in the Nuremberg Trials, suggesting a disconnect between past actions and current policies.


The Role of Oligarchs: The discussion turns to the influence of Russian oligarchs in U.S. politics, particularly how they may have shaped Trump's financial dealings and political connections, raising concerns about the intertwining of money and politics.


Local vs. Global Food Production: The podcast addresses the importance of local food production and the detrimental effects of corporate interests on sustainable farming, particularly in light of recent closures of local dairies due to land grabs by organizations like the Nature Conservancy.


Environmental Policies: They discuss how environmental decisions, such as reintroducing native species, can have unintended consequences on local agriculture and community livelihoods, questioning the motives behind such policies.


General Discontent with Current Systems: The conversation reflects a broader frustration with the current political and economic systems, emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability, and a focus on local solutions to global problems.
