Devolution Power Hour Ep. 412 - Monroe Doctrine Signals, Durham Doubts, and Narrative Warfare
Manage episode 522551223 series 3427094
Jon Herold and Burning Bright break down a marathon night of geopolitical signaling and narrative chaos, starting with Trump’s new “corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine and what it reveals about American sovereignty, foreign interference, and the shifting definition of the modern empire. Their conversation quickly turns to Paul Sperry’s explosive report alleging that key Trump-era officials, Barr, Durham, Pompeo, Bolton, and Haspel, may have buried intelligence that could have blown up Russiagate, raising new questions about Durham’s choices and whether the ICA review was intentionally suppressed. Jon and BB debate the credibility of anonymous sourcing, the necessity of bicameral thinking, and the dangers of narratives designed to demoralize the MAGA base. They move through Venezuela strikes, war-crime framing, the SignalGate leak, and competing media “takedowns,” illustrating how information warfare now operates across every institution. With humor, flu-ridden rambling, and sharp analysis, the duo show how sovereignty, declassification, foreign policy, and controlled opposition threads all collide at once, and why discernment is more important than ever.
