Speak of the Devil Presents Third Side Intelligence. In this episode, Reverend Campbell is being joined by Citizen Jeff Bowling and Warlock JNothing. Together we will be discussing the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We will go over what the organization is meant for, how it is failing, it’s scandals in recent years, and what veterans think about the organization itself.
Opening Monologue
The hurricanes are still coming, earthquakes are murdering populations, but at least Melania Trump got that Croatian billboard taken down, see? Good things can happen. This billboard read “just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English”. How dare they speak the truth, or provide a positive spin on the Trump regime. They like their reputation like they like casinos, gaudy, bankrupt and torn down.
And just when you think the Republicans can learn from their repeated mistakes, they are going after the Affordable Care Act Again! Yea, AGAIN! This is worse that the last 10 Jason films. The republicans are the ignorant teenagers that go into the woods after being warned not to, and get their asses murdered by Jason. Only in this analogy Jason is themselves. But it seems as they may be able to pass it this time with a simple majority, unless… unless they do what they have always done, and get their asses murdered by themselves. But hey, it’s just the US population that suffers so fuck em!
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team seems to be reaching way back into Paul Manafort’s financial records, even going so far as to bust into his home, terrifying his wife. They are either building a massive financial crimes case at this point, or putting on a hell of a show with their bluff. Either way, it looks like Russia’s meddling with our election is no longer the sole focus of this investigation. Hey, when you see a rat, you try to catch it. If it runs back into a den of rats, you need to rethink your strategy. With the efforts Facebook has recently taken in banning 470 Russian accounts that fooled you trump voters with their propaganda scheme, it looks like it’s the American people that are the complicit rats. We’ll believe anything with a click bait headline and an exciting photo. Hey America, how about you stop being a fucking idiot. How about you research your media and maybe your candidates just a little more next time eh?
But Trumps not so bad right? He threatens one pathetic nation (North Korea) with nuclear war, and another (Iran) even though our own joint chiefs of staff (Air Force General Paul Selva) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) claims Iran is meeting the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal. He seems insistent on starting a war the closer we get to an election, just to save his disintegrating party and poll numbers. I hope I am wrong, but history says otherwise.
So how about some good news? Let’s talk about an agency whose culture is one of honorable and pure selfless and timely support, just kidding, let’s talk corruption and dysfunction, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. I want to be fair, it’s not all bad, and they are providing valuable services. I don’t want to paint it’s employees or the institution with a single broad brush like I do the republican party, so let’s talk about it. Let me introduce you to today’s panelists who are helping me wrap my head around it all:
Our First panelist is Citizen Jeff Bowling. He is a musician (Lead Singer/Songwriter for the bands Slave To Reality and, Embrace The Forbidden), writer, professional wrestler, actor, stunt performer, martial artist and fight choreographer. He spent 6 years in the U.S. Army (Field Artillery) including 2 deployments to Iraq. And he has been a member of the Church of Satan since 2005.
Our Second panelist is Warlock JNothing. He produces the Radio Free Satan podcast The Metro. He’s had several months of broadcast radio experience prior to his honorable discharge from the US Naval Service. Other than music, he is into porn (aren’t we all, but he’s an amateur performer on the side), He enjoys motorcycles, body modifications, and has even been known to leave the house during the daylight hours.
