intro

Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer!

MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.

It is by and for MSers.

Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.

The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.

The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.

----

I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.

You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.

I really need this.

----

Feedback comes first, so...

I'm having fun playing the three show a week of classical music but every now and again, I just need to hear some real music played by real people.

This show is all about one of the realest instruments I can imagine.

More complex than just singing, blowing rattling on and beating on some drums.

I'll grant you that you can get some wonderful melodies out of some Kalimba and Mbira thumb pianos, (listen and watch video number 3,) but I'm feeling like banjos today.

It don't get more honest than the banjo.

---- "Clarinet Polka" by: "anonymous" http://www.msbpodcast.com

Feed Forward comes next, so...

This is "your" segment.

Say "your" piece on this segment.

Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share.

Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com"

---- "Banjo Roids" by: "ATL Producers" http://www.atlproducers.com/

Feed Me comes third, so...

But I seem to be shedding a lot of weight instead.

It would help if the big media companies could figure out a way to make money off the internet. That would mean that I could too.

I suspect that its going to be a meritocracy, where content will be king and POV will count for everything.

---- Banjo Strings Promo by: " Larry Winfield" http://www.larrywinfield.com/

---- "Banjo Etudes, Vol I" by: "The Negatones" http://www.negatones.com/

"Thesis:"

Sometimes I get a hankering to hear some honest music.

Specially because I about to talk about something really unpleasant.

The financial sector is really unpleasant.

The people in it are some of the nicest people you'd wanna meet.

Its the financial sector itself, as an enterprise, which is immoral, amoral and proctological.

I worked in it for thirty years so I know the kind of group mind-fuck that happens to all who practice it.

The only thing I know of that worse is the job of tax collector and the toll it can exact on the souls of those who do it.

its the kind of job that marks you for failure, either at the job or as a human being.

Banking is like that and for the same reasons.

---- "Ol Time Banjo - Co Labs - Huber+Hart" by: "51bpm" http://www.51bpm.com/

"Synthesis:"

The financial market are melting down and we're stuck going back to the mid-eighties in terms of personal wealth.

Why?

Because they didn't stop extending credit to themselves until it was way too late and they'd bought too much of their own bullshit.

Its got nothing to do with us as people. Its got nothing to do with them as people either.

Well maybe a bit more to do with them because they're the ones who loaned out TRILLIONS on, uh, mistaken assumptions simply because they could. (The bond and other financial instrument rating agencies should all be run out of town, because they deserve it.)

The regulation wheels fell of the bicycle and they proved that they weren't mature enough to handle it properly. They rode off the road and into a swamp.

The financial system is built on trust and none of them are trust worthy.

The financial system is built out of currency, manipulation and barely honest dealings.

The problems started back in the mid to late eighties (yup, Reaganism and trickle-down was just about as sound a financial policy as "Just Say No" was a sound drug policy, [and a AIDS prevention policy. {Ronny and Nancy have the blood of "millions" on their hands.}])

Springtime in America wasn't. It was just snowing twice as hard on the people who weren't rich enough to be in the "In Crowd." and out of the blowing storm.

Poverty became something anecdotal in America, not because there weren't any poor, (there were millions back then and there's millions more now.)

Poverty was anecdotal because it wasn't the kind of news that you were supposed, or were going to be allowed, to read.

The ruling clique, the non-governmental cabal was in complete control of the media by then.

They'd spin what ever bad news managed to leak out into glorious peans to our elected leaders.

Hope you were going somewhere in the mid -eighties because you're headed exactly there again.

Forget about the fancy houses, the fancy cars, the fancy sex you had since then, 'cause boy you're fucked now, an' they aint' nothin' fancy about it.

---- "Banjo Boy" by: "Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand" http://www.shupe.net/

"Conclusion:"

We'll just see what happens.

Will we ever go back to being some corporation's wage slaves, under threat from every knuckle head with explosives strapped to his ass who's threatening to blow himself up and take our oil supply with him?

Or are we going to wise up and tell the financial markets to kiss our butts goodbye, tell the oil companies to kiss our butts goodbye and tie them all up in the internet's shining glass fibers, and leave them by the curb, with the other trash.

Things are never as bleak as they are painted. (Ok sometime they're even worse but the Gordean Knot called my money situation is slowly becoming untangled. [Wadda ya want? I'm hardly Alexander the Great, now am I? Not for me the hacking through with great big whacks of my sword. {Honestly, it's more like slicing a salami with a pen knife.}])

I gotta get myself a paying gig.

As it is I'm just hemorrhaging money. I can't keep this up forever.

In fact I'm ... "Bleeding Over" by "something to burn" ( http://somethingtoburn.com/ ) here on WSPCs ThymeWarp.

Okay, I gots to find me some money. Some cash. Some lucre. Some dineros. Some drachmas.

But I resent having to pay Guru.com out of my dwindling pile of sheckels just to look at a job that might or might not be in the least bit interesting.

That kind of information should be free. I'm not applying, not buying, so by locking it up behind some electronic teller, they're not doing me or the guy looking to sell something any good.

The fact is that I'm a podcaster and a podcast producer.

I know what I'm doing as evidenced by this program, (which is my late mother's taste in music, not mine, but then I always liked a challenge.)

I've got around 400+ podasts under my belt and over a hundred thousand episodes published.

I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. Now I just have to convince somebody else that they need to do some podcasting.

The main difference between doing a radio show and a podcast is RSS.

But what a difference that makes.

Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack"

Intro

If you get you head out of there, you see that the world is not a uniform shade of brown.

But you will see something that scares the crap out of most people, from Einsteins to head-bashed stoners: "Change!"

You will see change that you can't ignore, like getting older, that you can't beg, plead or wheedle out from, like taking the garbage out, and that refuses to go away, like your friends and families when you're having a temper tantrum.

Peak Oil is not an option.

Peak Oil is not an elective.

Peak Oil is not going away. But the oil is...

It took our grandparents, our parents and ourselves a hundred and fifty years to get to this point.

Lets see what we can do over the next fifty years to wean ourselves, our children and grand children from the addiction to oil. (Notice I'm not looking forward beyond that. Our addiction to oil is not a long term problem. [It wouldn't even be a problem if it wasn't for our capacity and willingness to wage war at the drop of a "kepi", {busting everything up,} and the fact that there are "way" too many of us around right now.])

Ultimately, its about our future as a species.

Bed "Red on white" by "Michael Ulery"

Thesis:

We're looking at the sixth and final chapter of "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7.

This chapter, entitled "Managing the Collapse: Strategies and Recommendations", delves into everything that could/should/would be done to try to make it a softer landing

"Chasing the Clouds Away" by "Sinister Dexter" http://www.sinisterdexter.net/

Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack"

Synthesis:

This chapter, the last in the book before some end-notes, a bibliography and the index, offers some hints, clues and heuristics about surviving the inevitable collapse of the oil based energy infrastructure.

It offers them in subsections entitled:

"You, Your Home and Your Family" which examines
* Energy usage,
* Alternative Energies,
* Your Home
* Finances (with a multi-page sidebar captioned Resources for Home and Family,)

"Appropriate Technology" which gets into
* health care
* food
* transportation

"Your Commmunity" which delves into
* food
* water
* local economy
* public power
* community design
* local governance
* intentional communities (with a multi-page sidebar captioned community resources,)

"The nation" which flies over
* Alternative energies and conservation
* food systems
* financial and business systems
* population and immigration
* US foreign policy
* transportation
* activism (with a sidebar captioned resources for national policy changes,)

"The world" which takes a really wide view

and he offfers us a final word.

"Hideaway" by: "Matt Stern" http://www.myspace.com/matthewstern

Bed: "Bomb In A Suede Smoking Jacket" by: "Juliet Hotel" off of: "Sojourn"

Conclusion:

So we've reached the end of then book but not the end of the story...

I feel that he's a bit more pessimistic than the situation really requires.

The hard part is how to manage a soft landing, one which will see the emergence of electricity generated by renewable natural sources of energy rather than by burning oil.

Next week, I'll be rebroadcasting the shows from number 1 on, until the end of December.

Outro

Go and get the book "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7.

You can even go and re-bury your head in the sand afterward.

But you should know what's going to happen and let it guide you and your decisions.

Did you enjoy the holidays?

I like Thanksgiving a whole lot more than Christmas.

I'm sorry but when Santa Claus outfits have to fight for shelf space with turkeys and pilgrims outfits, that tells me that Christmas has simply just got too commercial.

Since Canada had its Thanksgiving much earlier than the 'States (mostly because the harvest comes much earlier,) if Christmas intruded in on Thanksgiving there, I'd have grown up a very upset child, what with the image of a fat, blood spattered Santa Claus his snow white beard flecked incarnadine with the very life's blood of his victims, (really, why do you think the suit's red?) holding a dripping hatchet, seared into my young febrile brain.)

Now Mr. Obama's been elected, we can get onto the business of hating him for his own personality and his own self, instead of punching at straw men and shadows.

All will return to normal as his promised change is turning out to be the same tired old faces from past administrations, spouting the same time worn policies that we'd already grown tired of and cast from office and into the pit of general oblivion.

This is episode 22

I've just heard from Herrad, a fellow MSer friend of mine from Amsterdam.

She'd been going through a bad patch because she'd been coping as best she could with a neurologist who was a complete idiot.

She finally jettisoned him. (That wasn't very difficult, he never saw her as she kept getting worse and worse... [Some doctors should be selling shoes, not doctoring and neurologists are the worst of the lot. {The field seems to have attracted all the cowards, the people who don't want to deal with emergencies, or with blood or any of the other messy bodily fluids.}])

After a few aborted attempts we're going to try to put together another podcast.

(How else but for, with and through the internet would this even be possible.)

The field of medicine seems to be a real strange mix of saints and sinners. Far more sinners than saints.

While the harrowing of heroes seems to be the common media interpretation, the sad fact is that these people believe their own press far too much.

In Israel they had a doctors strike that lasted two years, two full years, and during that time, the mortality rate went "down."

When the strike was finally settled, the death rate went right back up.

Tell me why do we need doctors?

For emergencies, right.

If we ate right, exercised and stopped doing foolish things, we could avoid most elective surgery and actually live longer, happier and healthier lives.
