What&apos;s up to my luscious leopards and tassel-tipped tanagers! Welcome back to the BNP everyone and thank you for joining! This episode is slightly abridged and coming out early because I am going camping this weekend up on the Utah-AZ border. I&apos;m stoked. :) But enough about me.  This episode we welcome back esteemed writer and historian Dr. Ken Hammond PhD. Dr. Hammond is a professor of East Asian history and founder of the Confucius Institute at New Mexico St. University. He is also an activist for Pivot to Peace: https://peacepivot.org/.Dr. Hammond continues our deep dive into the rise of modern China since the 1949 Communist Revolution.  We tackle the years of the so-called Cultural Revolution, including its internal facets, flaws and unreported benefits. Importantly, it is a fair and nuanced assessment of an event that is universally demonized and exaggerated in the West. We then touch on China&apos;s guiding ideology as it has evolved over the years, and how the presidency of Xi Jinping has signaled a noticeable shift away from Capitalist oligarchic corruption and towards the Socialist vision that animated the revolution. China&apos;s anti-corruption campaign is working, and they are leading the world in the field of green and renewable technology. To save the planet, we as Americans need to work together with China whether we like it or not, and sabre rattling from the Pentagon is both unproductive and dangerous. Finally, Dr. Hammond recounts his experience at Kent St. University on the very day in 1970 when National Guardsmen opened fire on students, killing 4, paralyzing 1 and injuring many others. Fascinating to have a firsthand account of that horrible day.

The Rise of Modern China w/ Dr. Ken Hammond PhD (Part 2 of 2)

What&apos;s up to my belly-laughing bamboo shoots and burly baby pandas!Welcome back to the BNP everyone and thank you for joining! Shout out to my patrons, y&apos;all are the butter flavor in my movie popcorn. This episode I&apos;m thrilled to feature historian and author Dr. Kenneth Hammond, PhD. Dr. Hammond received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in History and East Asian Languages in 1994. He specializes in the history of China in the Early Modern period, and is the founder of the Confucius Institute at New Mexico State University. Since 2017, Dr. Hammond has been affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. He has been a lecturer for the National Geographic Society and for the Smithsonian Institution. Finally, Dr. Hammond is a writer and activist for Pivot to Peace, a coalition of concerned Americans from all walks of life, who have come together in opposition to the dramatically increasing drive toward confrontation between the United States and China. You can check it out at: https://peacepivot.org/. Dr. Hammond so generously jumped on the BNP to unpack two critical junctures in modern Chinese history: The Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution.  It is so important to have a materialist, non-bias awareness around these foundational chapters in recent Chinese history. Equally important is to push back against the many misconceptions held in the U.S. about China. This two part series with Dr. Hammond is my effort to dispel stereotypes and common tropes, and help my fellow citizenry to have a greater and more nuanced understanding of the forces and events that have shaped modern China.  This episode, Part One, covers The Great Leap Forward. Next week, I&apos;ll post Part Two, where we cover the Cultural Revolution. Help keep the BNP on the air by becoming a patron for as little as $1/month (3.3 cents a day) at www.patreon.com/noetics.

China's Great Leap Forward w/ Dr. Ken Hammond, PhD, Esteemed Author and Historian (Part 1 of 2)

What&apos;s up to my tangerine terrapins and gifted garrulous grizzlies! Welcome back to the BNP everyone and thank you for joining, and for integrating me into your day. Shout out to my patrons: y&apos;all are the helium in my birthday balloon!This episode I tackled a topic I&apos;ve been wanting to cover for a minute and have frankly felt overwhelmed and inadequate to the task. I still feel that way a little lol, but I did my damn best. I can tell you that. Get ready for a DEEP dive,That gnarled and knotted topic? WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. Julian Assange is right now being psychologically and physically tortured (sleep deprivation chiefly) inside Belmarsh Prison in London. Julian has a partner and 2 young sons, and he is being kept away from this family. His health is suffering very badly. He is being destroyed before our eyes in real time, and for what? For having so badly bruised and embarrassed the ruling class, through his work at Wikileaks.  WikiLeaks is the most important publisher in our generation. When the world we inhabit is shrouded by darkness, with powerful forces operating in unison out of greed, survival, fear, and a mindset of scarcity and aggressivity, it is absolutely essential that we the people know and understand what the ruling class is up to.  We are being lied to and manipulated all the time. Without whistleblowers, leaks, and publications capable of publishing and willing to publish these leaks, we truly are lost to the insidious and hope-devouring world pf public relations campaigns, subtle media manipulation, brainwashing and propaganda. The ruling class cannot rule without the consent of the governed. To tacitly give consent unconsciously, without all the full info, and in fact based on curated manipulated info, to hand over consent in this way is to sleepwalk through history. We can&apos;t allow that to happen. Let&apos;s wake up, open our eyes, demand transparency, and be creative in how we make that transparency happen. The ruling class never gives power away; it must be wrestled and ripped away.

The War on WikiLeaks and the Agony of Julian Assange

What&apos;s up to my gregarious gharials and buck-lucky baboons!! Welcome back to the BNP everybody and thank you for tuning in! Shout out to my patrons, y&apos;all are the chlorophyll in my leafy greens, thank you!! (Psst: Beloved reader! You should become a patron too: just $1/month gets you a free dream interpretation coupon and an original poem! Sign up here: Patreon.com/noetics)This week&apos;s episode is a solo venture, featuring robots, words from sponsors and poems! Your veggies this week tackle a massively important figure in both Congolese and Pan-African history and someone who is not taught nearly enough (or ever) in US public schools: Patrice Lumumba. Patrice Lumumba was a trade unionist who became the first ever Prime Minister of the independent Democratic Republic of the Congo, serving from June until September of 1960. Lumumba was an African nationalist and Pan-Africanist, and his mission was to free the Congo from the yoke of hundreds of years of unspeakably brutal colonial and neo-colonial oppression. Belgium was truly horrific to the people of the Congo. Lumumba&apos;s political aims included nationalizing the massive mineral wealth of the Congo so that the government could provide basic universal services to the Congolese people, such as housing, healthcare, childcare and education. However, Patrice Lumumba, like so many great men who effectively oppose the status quo, had earned enemies, and some of these enemies were very powerful. Ultimately, the C.I.A. (Boooo), UK&apos;s MI6 (Boooo) and the Belgian Intelligence Services (Boooo) teamed up, and with U.N. complicity, had Lumumba arrested, tortured and executed by his political rivals. He was only 35 years old. Tune in to learn more about this hero, activist, political leader, and ultimately, a powerful martyr for the cause of Congolese Independence, African nationalism and Pan-Africanism. Follow the BNP on IG @conantanner Check out the BNP&apos;s original poetry TikTok @ barbarian.noeticsDon&apos;t forget to rate, review and subscribe!

Patrice Lumumba: Champion of Congolese Independence and Martyr for the Pan-African Cause

What&apos;s up to my gorgeous gophers and ardent American Dippers! Welcome back to another sizzling platter of BNP realness. Thank you for joining! For your tastefully seasoned veggies this week, we look at the case of Leonard Peltier, America&apos;s longest incarcerated political prisoner. Leonard is a leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM), an Indigenous Power organization that took over Alcatraz Island for19 months and occupied the site of the Wounded Knee massacre for 71 days. Leonard is innocent. He was targeted and persecuted by the FBI after two agents were fatally wounded in a shootout with AIM members on June 26, 1975 in Oglala, North Dakota. Leonard was present at the shootout, however he was helping to defend women and children, and he did not shoot the agents.  The bullets that killed the agents did not match the caliber of Leonard&apos;s rifle, and this evidence was withheld from court.The FBI tampered with evidence and intimidated witnesses in Leonard&apos;s case, some of whom were minors.Leonard is now 77 years old, and is health is suffering. It&apos;s time for Leonard to be set free, so he can live out the rest of his life at home and in peace, and with proper medical care. This episode is intended to spotlight this case and raise awareness for the need to Free Leonard Peltier.PETITION TO FREE LEONARD, PLEASE SIGN: https://www.freeleonardpeltier.com/petitionPlease support the show by rating, reviewing and subscribing.

What&apos;s up to my salubrious stingrays and darlingly derelict dingoes! (Side note: darlingly should be a word, even if it&apos;s not. I&apos;m claiming artistic license.)Welcome back to the BNP y&apos;all and thank you for popping in and sharing some time and space with me, so we can elevate the human spirit, together.This week is a solo episode, with some tidbits and tapas thrown in, along with periodic thoughtful interludes. I open up about some stuff. Then, our complexly seasoned veggies this week unpack the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. He was mortally wounded just moments after giving his victory speech for having won the California primary. Kennedy was poised to be the Democratic nominee, and would he have beaten Nixon in 1968? I think so yes. He was wildly popular amongst a diverse array of demographics. He was a civil rights advocate, he wanted to get out of Vietnam, and he wanted to reform the tax code so that the wealthy paid more money and not just the working class. He wasn&apos;t perfect by any means. However, it cannot be overstated how radically his murder altered the course of American history, and in all the wrong ways. Become a patron of the BNP for just $1/month, and receive a dream interpretation coupon and an original haiku!

Who Shot Bobby Kennedy?!

What&apos;s up to my ferocious field spaniels and cockamamie one hump camels! Welcome back to the BNP everyone and thank you for jumping in! If this is your first time listening, welcome to our tribe of philosopher-barbarians! You&apos;re among friends. Shout out to my patrons! Y&apos;all are the air pockets in my bubble wrap and the cozy toes in my soft white sand. <3This week I&apos;m back to ridin&apos; solo, and I was called to tackle a veggie topic of tremendous, even existential, importance to all life on earth: climate change and the rights of Mother Earth.  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) just came out with their 2021 report, and in a nutshell the findings were thus: the climate is indisputably, scientifically, in crisis, and our only choice as a species is to make radical changes to our way of being human in the world, not just individually through individual choices, but on a coordinated global societal level. That means a tectonic shifting of material and spiritual, economic and psychological perspective. That means seeing the human family as one family, and seeing our resplendent planet Earth as our one and only home.What better way to begin this critical journey of ecological and societal transformation than to look back at a critically important and totally overlooked (in the West anyway) global conference that took place in April of 2010: The Cochabamba People&apos;s Agreement on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth. 192 countries (!!!) participated in this conference, which was held in a small town in a central Bolivian valley, at the feet of the eastern Andes.You haven&apos;t heard of this Conference because goings on in the Global South are systematically excluded from our eurocentric U.S. discourse, especially when they challenge capitalism.Thank you for listening and for being a part of the BNP!

What&apos;s up to my serendipitous star clusters and neighborly nebulae!  Welcome back to the BNP y&apos;all, thank you for tuning in, and lo! Across the starboard bow, my maties, &apos;tis another sumptuous episode steaming on your plate like content saganaki, fresh off the firing pan. Yum! This week&apos;s episode is Part Two of a luminescent and elucidating chat with the great animator and artist Lubomir Arsov. In Part Two we continue our deep dive into the symbology of Lubomir&apos;s peerless short film In-Shadow, which you can find here. We chat about the nature of autonomous collective thought forms known in chaos magick as egregores, and we examine how these beings are represented both in Lubomir&apos;s film and in our greater shared reality. We also talk about reasons to stay strong and have hope, such as the presence of an immaterial angelic thread of power and goodness that is coursing through humanity as we speak, as well as breathwork and meditation that can help to ground one&apos;s energy in this renewing spring of Universal Song. Support Lubomir! Follow him on IG @lubomirarsov and stay tuned for his next projects: they are gonna be amazing.Please help the BNP stay on the air by becoming a patron at patreon.com/noetics!

Part 2: Lubomir Arsov on Visionary Animation, Parasitic Egregores and Threads of Healing Connective Light

What&apos;s up to my salacious sables and ginger-bellied blacksnakes! Welcome back to the BNP everybody and dang, do I have a tasty platter of some delicately seasoned content for all y&apos;all today! It is my absolute pleasure to welcome to the BNP, esteemed animator, director and storyboard artist Lubomir Arsov. Lubomir is a storyboard artist, character artist and an innovative, original animator, and he has worked for such major productions as The Ice Age and The Book of Life.I discovered Lubomir&apos;s animated short film In Shadow the other night while searching for trippy cartoons on the Interwebs, and it absolutely blew me away. In Shadow is a 13 minute long journey into the deep, dark underbelly and collective Unconscious of modern Western man. If that sounds like it would be gruesome and spooky, you&apos;d be correct. Arsov&apos;s work tackles the hidden secrets and buried taboos that in many ways define our modern world, even while they are largely ignored (at least consciously) by the masses. In Shadow drags this horrific darkness out into the light, and ultimately the film is an uplifting and confronting invitation to rehabilitate our darkest personal and societal shames, and to bathe our fears and hatred in the light of Infinite Awareness.  Definitely check it out!! You can find In Shadow on Vimeo, YouTube, and many other sites. This episode is Part One of my chat with Lubomir. Part Two drops next week. Support Lubomir! Find him on IG @lubomirarsov to keep up with his latest and ongoing visionary projects. What a blessing to speak with such a powerful artist. I&apos;m excited to share this conversation with the world.
