The probably cancelled podcast is probably the most “conspiracy theory” prone Marxist podcast I listen to, but this is a little far. Their claims are the following:

-bill gates’ bunk science “philanthropy” is a front for ibm (who have historically been involved in eugenics) to depopulate the third world (which I believe)

-Fauci doesn’t know anything about the science that would be relevant to fighting pandemics, he was involved in trying to stop good hiv treatment from becoming accessible

-the Covid pandemic may have been planned, suspiciously similar to simulations, intentionally planned to be used for suppressing lefty information (said watch event 201)

-ventilators are difficult to operate, and most people that were being put on them died, so it’s sus they were calling for more

-the common medication used in the US is bad,

-hospitals have monetary incentives to attribute hospitalizations to Covid

-ivermectin is effective at treating Covid, demonized as “horse paste” when it’s actually often used on humans, (which I’m sympathetic to, as it was commonly used in Latin America)

-hydroxychloriquin treats Covid, tests saying otherwise were using intentionally bad methodology

-according to VERS a lot of people are being harmed by Covid vaccines (which I’m very suspicious of, as correlation doesn’t equal causation with vers, but many I listen to too many libs)

-masks are making people sick (which I’m very suspicious of, bc I’ve gotten sick wayyy less since I’ve been wearing a mask daily)

-boosters are a scheme to make more money bc with actual vaccines it’s supposed to develope anti-bodies once and you’ll be fine

-the vaccine causes blood clots etc, (which I’m very suspicious of, but maybe lib debunkings are wrong?)

I would like to know what you, comrades think of these claims.

    I’ve only read his book on Tupac. And based on that book, I’d suggest it’s worth reading any/all of his work.

    He’s good at investigating and pulling facts and ideas together. I even agree with most of his conclusions on FBI involvement in US radicalism and with Tupac. My main issue is that he sometimes states too much, which weakens the overall argument. If he wrote a little more cautiously about those conclusions or suggested other possible interpretations of his findings I think he’d persuade a lot more people.

    I was perhaps a little too harsh in my previous comment. I just get annoyed when radical writers leave us open to criticisms of ‘conspiracy theory’ (beyond claims about the capitalist class acting as a class to protect it’s interests).

    I’d say, if you have your eyes on his book on drugs, give it a go. It’ll be easy to read and will likely contain some great research, at the least. If the title is indicative of the content, there will be lots to agree with in there. The drug companies are at war against us, after all, whether it’s flogging thalidomide or overcharging for insulin.
