A long overdue evisceration of the massive grift that is crypto. We’re calling out the tech-fascists in this so-called “freedom movement”, all the frauds accelerating the apocalypse clock in this dystopic timeline. As the collapses pile up, what should ethical technologists be doing to fight back? We’re bringing in two guests to help us wade through this muck, Molly White and Cooper Quintin, providing much needed clarity in this dark age of disinformation. Burn, web3, burn!

“anarcho”-capitalist punks fuck off

Another overdue and lengthy podcast. In this episode, the twins take it back with Gabriella Coleman and chat about the history of Anonymous and the current state of whistleblowing and hacktivism.

The twins also talk about the continued fallout of Jan 6 and the current state of MAGA in the year since the right-wing insurrection, including a new section, “Where Are They Now?”, about the so-called “political prisoners” of Jan 6, portrayed as martyrs by the fascistic GOP. In seamless transition, the twins then discuss the new version of their game Smash MAGA.

Also appearing on this podcast is Manilo and Paul of the hardcore band La Armada, whose music is featured throughout the episode. The conversation details the trials and tribulations of the DIY punk scene during the pandemic.

After a long hiatus Jeremy and Jason Hammond are back with another episode of Twin Trouble! Jeremy, finally released from prison, talks about his experiences catching COVID for the second time behind bars. Next, the twins dissect the January 6 attempted right-wing coup and the impact of Parlerleaks, Gableaks, and the issue of free speech on the internet. In our regular On The Noise! segment, we talk about some current political prisoner news and other updates in the struggle against empire. Then, an overdue discussion about the explosive moondoggle that is Musk’s pet project Starship, the neo-Columbus mission to colonize Mars and perpetuate hyper-capitalism throughout the galaxy. Lastly, we are pleased to announce the twins are developing a mobile video game, SMASH Maga! Trump Zombie Apocalypse! It’s a retro ‘smash and run’ action adventure which will soon be available on mobile devices and other platforms!

Another episode, another seismic shift in the global landscape. This time, it’s an an unprecedented mass uprising against police led by activists, protesters and yes, rioters, who are making moves to change the violent systemic racism of the police, prisons and politicians. So we’ll be talking about the government repression of BLM and Antifa. In other news, the BOP is still on lockdown, but slowly, people are getting moved around, and Jeremy, after months of waiting in limbo in Grady County Jail where he caught coronavirus(and recovered), was finally transferred to a raggedy ass CCA joint, Tallahatchie County Correctional Center, so we go in on them for a bit. Finally of course we’re gonna delve into #Blueleaks, a leak by Anonymous published by Distributed Denial of Secrets, and we have Grace again with an additional very special guest.

This podcasts featured musical guest is Godless Tyrant, who maybe can be best described as Brutal Plague War Metal.

After a brief and highly eventful intermission, we’re back. After resisting the Wikileaks grand jury case, Jeremy is again transferred back to the feds…. but gets stuck in the transfer center overflow joint Grady County Jail during the BOP lockdown. And this is the raggediest of dumps. Housed in dormitory units where social distancing is impossible, people are in Grady County share the same fate as prisoners throughout the world right now – being wrecked by Coronavirus at staggering rates. And all the jails do is pray that people won’t be getting infected, because their response to the pandemic is at best described as willful indifference to the plight of the incarcerated. Mass releases have not been forthcoming, but grassroots movements have been doing everything to can to get as many people out of these deathpits as possible. All this while it’s Mayday, and we’re in the thick of a class war with millions out of jobs, with those still working facing new kinds of fuckery at the hands of the capitalists. Masking up is the new norm, as we’re seeing mass rent strikes and work stoppage, car caravans and call-ins, as we evolve to new modes of bringing down this crumbling system, whilst avoiding the right-to-work bleach drinkers like the plague. Just kidding, we aren’t staying away from them at all.

This podcast, we’re featuring a plothera of antifascist black metal artists, who’ve recently released a 4-way split – in order of appearance,
Closet Witch, Haggathorn, Race Traitor, Neckbeard Deatcamp.

Update 3-13-2020
Both Jeremy and Chelsea have been released from Contempt of the grand jury! Now Jeremy will be transferred back to the FBOP for the duration of his sentence, but is stuck in Alexandria still while the 30 day suspension of BOP movement is lifted…..

Thanks to those who have supported Jeremy during this latest fiasco and everyone who assisted with the Grumbles motion and letters!

-Update 3-12-2020
We are shocked and disheartened with news of Chelsea’s health, and we’re sending love and solidarity and all the strength in the world to this brave woman. We are all just reflecting on the situation and are doing our best to look out for each other while her legal team can hopefully get her out on Friday.
Thanks to those who have supported Jeremy during this latest fiasco and everyone who assisted with the Grumbles motion and letters!

This episode is a stinky one. We record this episode as Jeremy is in solitary confinement for stealing an onion from the kitchen, so for that one, we’re starting off by blowing the whistle on the roaches and crap food that Aramark has been slinging to inmates. On The Noise! this week we talk about the recent police shooting on an unarmed man on the subway in Chicago, continuing our conversation about the movement against the criminalization of poverty and the dangers of police on public transportation. We also raise the question of what the state plans to do for prisoners in the case that Coronavirus becomes pandemic, as it has in Italy, where inmates have been rising up, starting fires, escaping their captors in protest of their particularly vulnerabilities due to the decrepit situation of overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and low access to medical care. Lastly of course we will be talking about the upcoming Grumbles hearing for both Jeremy and Chelsea. Can you believe they went through all the effort of reassembling the whole damn Grand Jury again, only to bring Jeremy to court and give ‘em the Bartleby?

We’re featuring music by Tzar Bomba, punx from chicago that get the masses moving!

This episode is our biggest one yet! And there is no one better to be our first guest than Grace from the Support Committee! In this podcast Jeremy spills the tea on what went down at the grand jury, including the questions themselves, and what they reveal about their investigation into Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Also mentioned are the arguments Jeremy and his legal team pursued to demand his constitutional right to remain silent, and some updates on Assange’s upcoming extradition hearing and a discussion of how his politics has turned to the right over the years.

This weeks On The Noise! segment discusses the investigations into the GEO and G4S Private Prison groups, including mentions of the large number of inmate hunger strikes that went down in 2019 at a number of immigrant detention centers in protest of the disgusting and dehumanizing conditions. We also talk about the alarming number of inmate deaths in the Mississippi Department of Corrections, about how they are blamed on prisoners or gang violence, even though they are the result of poor conditions of the prisons themselves. We continue on with a bit about the Fare Evasion Movement, mentioning a recent FTP3 action on Jan. 31^st in NYC, talking about the demands for universal free transit and how the increase in transit cops and fare hikes are bogus austerity measures imposed by the state to criminalize and tax poor people, especially POC. Lastly, we revisit the recent legalization of cannabis in Illinois, and elaborate on barriers that the federal prohibition maintains for people, especially for undocumented folk and people seeking food stamps, EBT, SNAP or housing assistance.

This episode introduces a new segment, Raggedy Ass Jails, where Jeremy talks about the destitute conditions at Alexandria Detention Center, problems ubiquitous throughout jails and prisons everywhere.

Lastly, there is a new letter section, where we respond to questions or suggestions of things to discuss on the podcast.

This episode features music by Chicago rapper Novatore. Check this shit out!

Updates – In addition to the exemption of FOIA requests for GEO, the National Archives begins removing records related to ICE, including complaints filed for misconduct, including those filed under the Trump regime, showing how they are covering up their heinous conditions and practice of family separating from the public eye.
