ORIGINAL YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION: Eisenhower warned about the dangers of the “Military Industrial Complex,” and President Biden warned the nation about the rise of a “Techno-Industrial Complex.” This show will examine how these power centers are tied to Project. 2025, the Trump Administration, Democracy, the future of Social Securty and much more.

FIRST THOUGHTS OF THE EPISODE IDEA: The Saturday before Donald Trump’s second inauguration Dr. T’Shaka unfolds before his listeners, a tale – a story really, not heard on the sports and entertainment media sources many Black folks are checked into. A story that has been obscured by conservative media sources, whom, in many instances have been bought out by the wealthy class. This story introduces to us the Oligarchic puppet masters sitting at the head of the United States empire. He discusses, with sharp depth, the desire to turn back the clock which lays at the heart of the power moves orchestrated by today’s Oligarchy; a desire fed by their need to maintain the European (white) dominance within this country. Most people within our community may be surprised to learn that there is both a generational and genetic change occurring; you may be surprised to learn that demographers have determined that both changes have already shifted the populations composition, though the effects from this shift won’t be felt until the the first half of the next decade. It is this shift, to a less whiter more blacker (majority wise) and to a much younger society, that these forces are trying to work against. While this fact is only mentioned passively, the core behind the rest of the content is this single point.

Using Biden’s farewell address as the foundation for a much deeper discussion on the Oligarchic forces he singles out. To offer fuller context to Biden’s remarks, Dr. T’Shaka employs Eisenhower’s infamous Military-Industrial Complex warning; emphasizing the long existence of this creeping fascistic element that appears so new to modern Americans. Offering broader context for the latter, Dr. T’Shaka draws on little known resources as well as his eight and a half decades living experiences to color, specifically Eisenhower’s comments, with context unfamiliar to the casual youtube audience. He then uses this information as a springboard to inform the viewer about the composite of today’s Technofascist oligarchs who are openly supporting Trump’s administration and have been, for the most part, supporting his rise to power.
