228 - It's All Nothing Until It's Everything | The Eschaton Review | Transmission 001

The inaugural episode of The Eschaton Review, a podcast within a podcast. Peering down upon the globe from his Extremely Above Ground Bunker, in solitude, Josh will relay the events unfolding on the fractitious Earth below. Today, the following happenings were monologued about:

• Nicolás Maduro declares Christmas to be on October 1st this year. Who Does He Think He Is, Saint Nicolás Maduro?, Remarks John Bolton, Other Assholes.
• The Venezualan government stole Air Force One. Or possibly it's the other way around, and US goverment stole Venezuala's presidential airplane. I'm sure both situations would get the level and tenor of media coverage, right?
• The Canadian government is afraid to be embarassed by giving asylum to 900+ Waffen SS Nazi soldiers. Whoopsie doodle, eh? Soarree about all the Nazis, eh?
• South Korea's deeply conservative President Yoon may well appoint a religious lunatic who opposes the very concept of human rights to the position of chairman of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea.
• Tokyo's gubenatorial election has brought out some very colorful characters.
• The Japanese government condemns Lindsey Graham for being an evil, bloviating, human-shaped demon. Finally.
• The Chinese exist...BUT AT WHAT COST?!?! A historical look back up the immediate aftermath of the Trump earsassination and which nationality was instantly blamed by the New York Post. China creates a meltdown-proof nuclear power plant. Does laps around the world with wind and solar power.
• Two Good Jewish Boys record the World's Most Immoral Podcast.
• Germany's AfD Party wins state election, the first far-right government to do so since, you know who. He had a mustache and wrote extensively about his "struggle."
• The UK reduces a tiny fraction of it's weapons shipments to Israel. It's so small that it's worse than not doing anything at all.
• Yemen continues to dominate the Red Sea, US Navy humiliated, solidarity with Palestine intact.

Special thanks to KNOWER for the repurposed episode title and vocal sample in the intro music.
