The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself
he coronavirus pandemic, the deepening economic crash, dangerously divisive political responses, and exploding social tensions have thrown an already declining American capitalist system into a tailspin. The consequences of these mounting and intertwined crises will shape our future. In this unique collection of over 50 essays, "The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself," Richard D. Wolff argues clearly that "returning to normal" no longer responds adequately to the accumulated problems of US capitalism. What is necessary, instead, is transition toward a new economic system that works for all of us.
“A blueprint for how we got here, and a plan for how we will rescue ourselves” - Chris Hedges
“A magnificent source of hope and insight.” - Yanis Varoufakis
“In this compelling set of essays, and with his signature clarity, intensity, accessibility and deference to historical and present perspective, Wolff has issued not just a stark warning, but concrete reasoning, as to why this time really should be different.” - Nomi Prins
“One of the most powerful and incisive voices in America. As an economist he transcends that “dismal science”, he is a tribune of Main St, a voice of the people.” - George Galloway
“Wolff clearly explains the ways that capitalism exacerbates unemployment, inequality, racism, and patriarchy; and threatens the health and safety of workers and communities - i.e., most of us.” - Jessica Gordon-Nembhard, Ph.D.
“If you care about deeper measures of social health as Americans suffer the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, you will find here a wealth of insight, statistics, and other ammunition that we all need in the fight for a more just society.” - Adam Hochschild
“The current failed system has a noose around all of our necks. Richard Wolff offers an economic vision that gets our society off the gallows.” - Jimmy Dore

Hunter Biden Lap Top Update
Ed gives an update on the hunter Biden lap top after getting further corroboration from fmr CIA whistleblower.
It is alleged, Hunter Biden, the surviving son of the President, dropped off a laptop at a computer store to be repaired, and emails and photos were discovered on it, some involving his father.
The pictures are claimed to show Biden Jnr smoking crack and taking part in various sex acts, some of the pictures have been claimed to even capture abuse.
But it was the trove of emails which political manipulators considered to be most damaging to the Democrats and Joe Biden; fervent denials were made that Biden ever spoke to his son about his business dealings with Ukraine businessmen, something it is claimed now to be known to be untrue, with the evidence provided in emails.
The news was reported on in The New York post, after the technician involved in the computer repair cloned the harddrive (a standard procedure in computer repair), discovered the material on the original drive, copied the drive and then sent it to the then Presidents’ legal mind, Rudi Guilliani. The alleged smoking-gun email The Post claims is contained in an email and details Hunter Biden setting up a meeting between his father and a Ukrainian energy firm executive. Hunter Biden was paid by the firm a finders’ fee, of sorts.
With current media being polarised and driven by clicks and ads, the whole conspiracy has become something of a behemoth, with people making their decision of which side of the fence they are on largely on their political inclinations; the provenance of the Post’s story has even been called into question.
In this solo show, Ed Opperman details his ongoing investigations into the affair, being one of the few investigators to have covered this story periodically over the last few years with facts and insight, despite efforts by powerful hands to discourage his efforts.

Lydie Denier - A Voice For Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens
Lydie Denier was the fiancee of J. Christopher Stevens. Stevenswas an American diplomat who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Libya from May 2012, to September 2012. Stevens was killed when the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked by members of Ansar al-Sharia on September 11–12, 2012.
Since Benghazi, there has been a lot of lies and misdirections about the events leading up to it, the response of both the US Government and localised forces and the personnel involved, many of whom sadly can no longer answer back.
In a extraordinarily personal interview, Ms Denier talks of her relationship with the Ambassador, the life they lead as a couple, of his conversations with her concerning his worries about his posting and ultimately the aftermath of the attack and the response – or lack of it – to the death of U.S. staff.
The book also serves as a psychological salve, a way of preserving Stevens through direct memory of the man he was, together with moving on from personal grief.
Lydie Denier is a French-American model and actress. She has appeared in numerous TV series and films.

Dennis Brooks talks to Ed about the Payne/Hayworth case, a bizarre interlocking murder case.
The murder of Bill Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth is one of the first murder cases where much of the evidence – such as it was – was contained in social media and messaging. What started as an online spat turned into a double murder.
Dennis Brooks is from East Tennesseeand a law school graduate currently serving as Assistant District Attorney of the 1stdistrict of East Tennessee. He and his wife reside in Telford, Tennessee with their ten cats, three dogs and two pot-bellied pigs.

Anneke Lewis is a former child sex slave who tells Ed about how she was raped, tortured and almost stabbed to death after being sold into an aristocratic paedo network in Belgium at the age of six.
Of her time she says "Children were killed in the most brutal way because members were afraid they would speak out.
“And to make it worse, the abuse was from politicians and officials the public had put their trust in."
“I’ve had to use my inner strength to cope with the horrors of those years of abuse. I have to try to cope for the sake of my daughter.”
Anneke has also started a petition to raise awareness about trafficking which has attracted 88,000 signatures, it's target is 90, 000.
Belgium is still haunted by a paedophile scandal that shocked the world when it was uncovered in the 1990s.
50 years later, Anneke has managed to put her life back together, but the threats against her speaking out have continued in the intervening decades.

Irvin Muchnick - Justice Denied - The untold story of the death of Nancy Argentina
The world of professional wrestling and what goes on behind the scenes is the subject for analysis in this episode of the Opperman Report.
Backgound from Trace Evidence
Twenty-three year old Nancy Argentino had left her life in Brooklyn behind to hit the road with her new boyfriend, wrestler Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. It was a whirlwind romance that would ultimately end in violence.
After a violent incident involving police in January of 1983, Nancy's family begged her to stay home and avoid Snuka. Unfortunately, Nancy did not heed their advice and went back with Snuka. Just four months later in May of 1983, Nancy was rushed to a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania where she later died as the result of head trauma.
The ensuing chaos of the case is covered by Irvin’s research, which he dissects with Ed to expose an almost accepted level of behaviour in the industry and the seamier side hidden behind the glitter, lycra and canvas.
