Show notes:

Lloyd was at the presidential debate hosted by Free and Equal Elections, freeandequal.org. He was with Tiffany Cianci, who livestreamed it, as did many others. Moderated by Free & Equal Founder Christina Tobin and former U.S. Comptroller General and No Labels Co-Founder David Walker.

Candidates included Chase Oliver (Libertarian Party), Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party), and Randall Terry (Constitution Party). They don’t expect to become president. They want 3 to 5% of the vote, to get their issues taken seriously and adopted by the winning party. Presidential elections are typically decided by a small percentage. All three complained about Democratic policies, not Republican. They seemed to want to influence the DNC.

Biden and Harris are pushing us toward nuclear war more than any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. And we’re heading toward complete economic collapse. Lloyd was impressed by Ms. Stein’s intelligence. “Anyone who supports Bobby Kennedy or Donald Trump, I don’t think they would disagree with anything she said.”

Lloyd spoke to her campaign manager and suggested Ms. Stein become a voice for America’s small businesses and woman-owned small businesses, because nobody else is (except Lloyd). 99.9% of America’s businesses are small businesses, which shocked the campaign manager.

Ms. Stein is really against Israel’s war crimes, the atrocities they’re committing in Gaza. She said she’s Jewish and they were taught after World War 2 never to let genocide happen again, never let a holocaust. But it’s happening right now in Gaza. She talked about that a lot. So did Chase Oliver. Mr. Terry was the opposite. Ms. Stein came down on him hard.

Lloyd and Bruce evaluate Israel’s influence on America’s politics and politicians. Do candidates feel obliged to publicly support Israel while personally having other views? Do they pander to Israel because to do otherwise would unleash a media attack they want to avoid?

Is the two-party system a fraud? Really a uni-party? Lloyd asserts that the chairmen of both parties are lobbyists for Fortune 500 firms, for the oil and gas industry. When you do research, you see the same companies supporting the DNC and the RNC. Both parties serve corporate interests, not the American people nor America’s ideals.

We need a third party because there’s no party that represents the American people. Congress doesn’t represent the American people. [In toto, its members are beholden to, and they do the bidding of, corporate donors.]

FEMA and the Small Business Administration claim to have no funds for our latest emergencies and catastrophes. Yet we’ve given Israel and Ukraine hundreds of billions in aid.

“Israel says it has secured $8.7 billion U.S. aid package.” – Reuters.com, September 26, 2024.

“FY 2022-2024 Supplemental Appropriation - As of June 30, 2024, since February 2022 the U.S. Congress had appropriated more than $174.2 billion in supplemental funding for the U.S. response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The most recent supplemental appropriation was signed into law on April 24, 2024, provided nearly $61 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine, of which approximately $48.4 billion will be administered by the DoD, $11.6 billion by State and USAID, and nearly $1 billion for other U.S. Government agencies.” -UkraineOversight.gov/funding.

Lloyd’s father was in the CIA. Told him things fifty years ago that Lloyd couldn’t believe. He thought his dad had had a stroke. Now Lloyd sees proof of those claims every day.

America can fairly be called an evil empire. To some degree, for a long time, it doesn’t matter who’s elected. The Pentagon is going to squander trillions of our money. Powerful lobbies have control of Congress. “Nowhere can you look in the government and say, that’s good. I’m glad that’s happening.”

A brief history of psychological warfare against the American people is reviewed, including CIA director William Casey telling President Reagan his goal for the agency in the new administration in 1981. He said, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

Lloyd, “Our tax dollars are being squandered. As Americans, we’re not being taken care of, but foreign countries are. That’s just unbelievable.”

Lloyd and Bruce debate whether Trump, if elected, will let Kennedy do the good things Kennedy says Trump will let him do. And Bruce shares the following sources for information and commentary about Israel. Neither Trump nor Harris is backing away supporting Israel’s destruction of Gaza.
