#1019: The Fake Left/Right Paradigm With Hannum Machiavelli

Summary

Author Hannum Machiavelli joins Sam Tripoli to argue that America's left/right political divide is a staged paradigm that keeps voters loyal to two parties serving the same elite interests. The conversation covers alleged election rigging, mail-in ballots, a claimed FBI role in supplying bricks to BLM riots, and international banker funding of the Bolsheviks. Hannum also promotes his novel 'Machiavelli Nation,' pitched as a 1984-style story about an ordinary man waking up to a country run by psychopaths.

Key takeaways

• 1Hannum's novel 'Machiavelli Nation' is a 400-page work of fiction, written over five years, that he describes as a '1984 for our current time' about a 'normie who gets red-pilled.'
• 2The hosts cite a newly surfaced email alleging the FBI posed as a construction company to deliver bricks to BLM riots.
• 3Hannum claims Lenin and the Bolsheviks were funded by international bankers who used socialist ideas as a marketing ploy.
• 4Hannum claims a 2016 Michigan recount requested by Jill Stein was abruptly cancelled, which he takes as evidence that officials were hiding the real vote count.
• 5Hannum cites Jimmy Dore's 'ratchet effect': Republicans push policy rightward while Democrats act as the 'pawl' that blocks truly progressive change.
• 6Hannum proposes 'Post Party,' a dating-app-style system that matches voters to non-party candidates, with anyone who held a party membership in the past five years barred from taking part.
