My guest is Henry Peterson. (pt.1 of 2)
- About Henry:
Henry is a lifelong jazz pianist and an amateur author. He wrote a music blog for a while about his experiences being a working musician in and around Syracuse New York's music scene.
While talking with his friend one day about his experiences with his girlfriend Naomi, who was struggling with drug addiction, and telling the resulting seedy environments and outrageous incidents that go with that, his friend suggested he was writing the wrong book.
That suggestion was the trigger that motivated Henry to start writing about it.
His writing offers a unique perspective from the viewpoint of an enabler to a drug addict, as opposed to the drug addict themselves.
It chronicles his journey with his girlfriend from first meeting, to acquiring feelings, to the realization that she was a drug addict, and the personal turmoil one struggles with when walking the thin line between helping and enabling.
He found writing about his experiences and expressing his feelings on paper was not only therapeutic, but also helped him put the situation in the proper perspective.
You can read his writing for free at the link below.

Educational - Why Public Schools and the Mainstream Media Dumb Us Down

This is about public schools (indoctrination centers) and the mainstream media (propaganda/agenda machine), the two biggest sources of information throughout our lives.
When you understand that, in addition to both institutions being owned and controlled by the same entities; the ruling classes who want to keep it that way, the reality of the outcome should be no surprise.

Educational - How Five Companies Control All US Media

It is vital to understand this blatant fact. At all times, but especially now with the current events surrounding Covid-19. Fear is the number 1 mechanism used to control people and get them to submit to restrictions and authoritarian measures, in the name of safety and security, that they would not consent to under normal circumstances.
It's important to know that this isn't just media. EVERY major industry is like this. Owned and controlled by a handful of individuals.
A couple corrections: Dreamworks is owned by Comcast, and Disney now owns the majority of Hulu. Like is mentioned in the audio, properties change hands all the time and it's difficult to keep up, but the trades/mergers/acquisitions are always between those five giant mega-corporations.
