For what it is worth, here are my observations regarding Richard Andrew Grove, with much of whose output I am long familiar. I formerly regarded RAG very highly; especially his involvement with John Taylor Gatto & the brilliant ‘Ultimate History Lesson’. Also his work with promoting The Trivium method [http://www.triviumeducation.com/] with Jan Irvin, although I understand they perhaps had some sort of disagreement later, and now don’t appear to associate. Way back in time for a number of early episodes of the ‘Peace Revolution’ podcasts, RAG was putting out exceedingly long media collages which did not (as far as I recall) have any guidance to the listener as to what was the point of producing or consuming these - other than to pass or waste (?) time? At a later point after promoting “critical thinking” skills via the Trivium and ‘Logical Fallacies’ I was stunned to see an episode of ‘Grand Theft World” where Grove and Myers used the ‘false dichotomy’ fallacy during the scamdemic of the “accidental lab leak/weaponised virus” or “zoonotic escape” or some such dichotomy without considering whether or not there was proof of the existence via use of the scientific method. [I refer you to the work of Stefan Lanka, Tom Cowan, Andrew Kaufman and the Baileys et al]. I commented as such after one of their Grand Theft Podcasts, which they responded to in the show the following week, poo-pooing that they had committed such a fallacy. As they say, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Fredrick C Blackburn (aka Blackbird9, aka BB9) talks about his expériences prior to 9/11 when he was teaching regarding the change in telephony systems to NSA students and mentions Kroll in this podcast. Not sure if this arises in hour two; but it is well worth a listen. https://www.republicbroadcastingarchives.org/rebel-mad-man-radio-w-mike-gaddy-march-9-2024-hour-1/
