Mainstream Media Insights

Note: It is essential to remain critical of what you read in mainstream media because it presents a filtered reality that reflects the vision of the anointed - those who claim to have the solutions to society's problems. By questioning and verifying information, readers can cut through the spin and gain a more accurate understanding of the world, rather than relying on a one-sided narrative.

Before Panic Shack's debut album, they went viral on TikTok.

Panic Shack tried an online experiment while on tour in the UK. "We're going to do this dance in every green room until we get really good, follow us on tiktok to see the progress," the band wrote in a video posted on social media. Multiple renditions on TikTok, 100,000 followers, and 15.4 million views later, Panic Shack were all over FYPs. Their debut album has just been released. Panic Shack emerged from "daydreaming whilst at work," according to Harvey, and a shared love of karaoke and going to friends' gig. A rambunctious, jubilant, loud punk outfit from the Welsh capital, Panic Shack brings a lot of energy to songs about ride-or-die friendship, telling jerks to GTFO, bullshit body image expectations, smoking rollies, meal deals, and London dudes. Lead vocalist Harvey and guitarist/vocalist Fretwell sat down with Mashable to talk about their success and what to expect from their first album. The dance "everyone be quiet my show is on" was performed by Panic Shack....

An elite new JP Morgan unit is driving deals for sports teams and stadiums.

Sports team franchises are an asset class that has increased in valuation and interest. Some of the largest investment banks have created sports teams to cater to this group. Major sports teams' prices increased by double and triple digit percentages this year, with several leagues seeing their prices increase. Mark Walter, CEO of Guggenheim Partners, agreed to buy a majority stake in the Lakers for $10 billion in June, making it the highest price ever paid for a sports team. The $6.1 billion sale of the Boston Celtics to a consortium led by private equity executive William Chisholm was the previous record. Eric Menell, the global co-head of sports investment banking at JP Morgan, said that scarcity is one of the reasons sports team valuations have gone up in the past 25 years. There are 1500 billionaires in the US, but only 200 professional sports teams. There are seven men's and women's sports leagues....

There is a road map to restoring American democracy.

Do Americans think nothing can shake the United States' democracy? Frank Luntz is well versed in taking the temperature of the American public and he is with host Garry Kasparov. Luntz is best known for his work in Republican politics. He is the pioneer of an "Instant Response" focus-group technique that allows him to understand not just what people think but why. More than 10 years ago, he began to sense that something had gone terribly wrong in American politics. What must be done to fix the problem was discussed by Frank and Garry. A common problem for citizens of the free world is that they don't have the vocabulary to understand authoritarian regimes and leaders. They expect their terms and experiences to translate when they are meaningless....

Alternative Media Insights

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

There is mounting pressure on Trump to release more Epstein files.

The American president has agreed to release additional documents regarding the Epstein affair. Murdoch's Wall Street Journal published an obscene drawing they claim Trump made for a client, prompting Trump to announce that he will be suing the newspaper and Murdoch himself. The decision by Trump to put a lid on the Jeffrey Epstein affair has caused outrage within his own voter base. The Department of Justice has determined that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the suicide of the man and that there is no compromising client list. Despite being linked to a blackmail operation by Israeli intelligence services, the approach has been seen as a cover-up campaign that goes against his own campaign promises. Donald Trump has gone so far as to attack his own supporters and call those who want the president to release documents weaklings, while emphasizing that he distances himself from those who had expected more comprehensive revelations about high-profile clients. "I have had more success in 6 months than any President in our Country's history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax", writes a frustrated Trump on his Truth Social platform According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump drew an obscene picture for Jeffrey Epstein at his 50th birthday....
