EARLY ACCESS: We All Know It's Happening

Howdy, friends! This time we're using the recent Boeing whistleblowers saga as a springboard to talk about the wider problem - the unholy alliance of capital and the state, and how much "freedom" we actually have to tell the truth. I hope you enjoy the episode!

But i agree with age restrictions on youtube

So When's it time for the Australia...Pine Gap/ Assange update now?

Aella Askew

Actually it used to be "If it's NOT Boeing, I'm NOT going". I remember my dad got a sticker with that logo in our house in the 90s. The new version removes the first NOT so it becomes, "If it's Boeing, I'm NOT going."

While I really love your work and this video's message is 100% on point, I have to point out a few errors or misinformations mentioned. NTSB - national transportation SAFETY board (not security). While you were mentioning the Boeing aircraft incidents you also listed engine failures - these have nothing to do with the aircraft manufacturer. Compressor stalls, and other similar engine issues are common in commercial aviation regardless of the aircraft manufacturer as the engines are made and maintained by other companies unrelated to Boeing. Pratt & Whitney, General electric and Rolls Royce to name the bigger ones. Airbus also uses them and suffers from same engine faults at the about sane rate.

No worries!

As always, great video. I was particularly impressed by your final analysis about the granting of "rights" by the State. Everyone has no doubt encountered the liberal who starts to lose the argument who then tells you to "go back to Cuba if you don't like it." My usual snap response is something like "if they let you do it (e.g. voting, criticizing the president etc.), then it doesn't make a difference" but this video has given a lot of rational backup to that position.

oops - this was intended to reply to the previous about "Boeing, not going..."

Stephen J Hardy

That saying is just the reverse of what people used to say, when Boeing was an engineering company run by engineers, as opposed to what it is now, which is a company run by accountants for the purpose of making greedy investors richer, faster.

I loved this video!! made me so angry and frustrated.. The title really encapsulates the feeling!!

re corrupt merger of corp and govt power, and mysterious deaths, this ruthless collusion showed up in the Covid era as hastily funding a so-called vaccine deemed "safe" after 2 months of corp testing, then mandating an emergency use medicine under threat of job loss, attending college, flying (in Boeing aircraft), in violation of the Nuremburg code, and de-platforming those who question the government narrative as a kind of medical terrorist (aka 911).

Watching this video sent chills down my spine. So glad to have all this information but I really can't help but feel disillusioned from hearing all this sometimes.

I check periodically, but Discord is my main avenue of communication. You can always send me an email for a more prompt response

JT Chapman

Hey to the Second thought team, does anyone actually check the messages sent on Patreon to Second Thought ? I am not on Discord, so that is the only way I can communicate ( sorry for interjecting in this thread) But I asked a question 4 weeks ago and no response yet.

As long as you don't do too much where they come after you. :(

Jeremy Krall

Google/YouTube are an excellent way of control - after all it's only the Market and "protecting children". . The worst thing about UK capitalist's government is that they can be bought for a couple of cup final tickets and a West End show - much much cheaper that the USA.

Amro

Very true!

Ashton Shelton

I mean why do they need to hide Trump is popular and he is really just the capital class cutting out the middle man

Eric Edwards

Just an FYI, the phrase 'if it's Boeing I'm not going' has been around for a long time before all this. It's certainly a mantra I follow closely these days though.

Derek Heilmann

Thank you Jessica 🥰 It's true what I'm probably mostly feeling is alone in this. So many people in WA just love big tech and Amazon, it's disheartening. Support of the environment is about the only thing we can ever get even a little traction on.

Jessica McDermott

I understand that feeling. I would encourage you to look into joining one of the organizations JT links in the description of his YouTube videos, like PSL. Alone we can't do much, but together and organized we can do so much more.

Jessica Ingram

I also have tried to share some of your videos with my son. Age restrictions on socialist content is wrong.

Saul Mullard (red_panda)

It's interesting that lobbying doesn't get covered by anti-corruption legislation. This is a major problem because corruption has become individualised so that corporate power can never be held accountable. That is the point of course!

Saul Mullard (red_panda)

Corporations are becoming more and more brazen by the day. It seems as though we have an increasing frequency of these sort of “mysterious deaths” happening in the last 10-15 years. Perhaps that’s just my age, since I’m only 20, but if I am wrong there, I’d love to hear more stories/learn more about all of these occurrences. Great video as always!

Ashton Shelton

There is a course called "organizing 4 power" sponsored by the Rosa Luxemburg foundation. It focuses on labour, but the methods it teaches are applicable anywhere. I think the best thing to do is find a group you can join (Palestine solidarity groups are everywhere) so you can apply what you learn there. And maybe, you can there apply your skills towards.... More substantial goals

Dustin Gamblin

And think of JFK just 6 months after his peace speech at American U in June of 63

jim wohlgemuth

So disturbing to see this, but I don't know what to do, because I already know WA State lawmakers don't listen to constitutes. They'll put you on their email list and bombard you with all their "achievements" 🙄 and pretend this is still a green hippie state, that's about it 🫠
