Twin Trouble

A long overdue evisceration of the massive grift that is crypto. We’re calling out the tech-fascists in this so-called “freedom movement”, all the frauds accelerating the apocalypse clock in this dystopic timeline. As the collapses pile up, what should ethical technologists be doing to fight back? We’re bringing in two guests to help us wade through this muck, Molly White and Cooper Quintin, providing much needed clarity in this dark age of disinformation. Burn, web3, burn!

Hacker, grifter, fascist, troll Another overdue and lengthy podcast. In this episode, the twins take it back with Gabriella Coleman and chat about the history of Anonymous and the current state of whistleblowing and hacktivism. The twins also talk about the continued fallout of Jan 6 and the current state of MAGA in the year since the right-wing insurrection, including a new section, "Where Are They Now?", about the so-called “political prisoners” of Jan 6, portrayed as martyrs by the fascistic GOP. In seamless transition, the twins then discuss the new version of their game SMASH MAGA. Also appearing on this podcast is Manilo and Paul of the hardcore band La Armada, whose music is featured throughout the episode. The conversation details the trials and tribulations of the DIY punk scene during the pandemic.

This is a special episode we're recording for June 11th International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. The twins share reflections on prisoner support in general but also in the context of the recent anniversary of the George Floyd uprising, where thousands are facing repression for fighting back against racist cops. Also plenty of thoughts on recent hacks and leaks, and the political ramifications of these high-profile ransomware attacks against Colonial Pipeline, the MPD, Citizen App, and Jones Day leaks. Featuring music by Sacral, raw-ish black metal dipping its toes in punk, post-black, DSBM, and crust.

After a long hiatus Jeremy and Jason Hammond are back with another episode of Twin Trouble! Jeremy, finally released from prison, talks about his experiences catching COVID for the second time behind bars. Next, the twins dissect the January 6 attempted right-wing coup and the impact of Parlerleaks, Gableaks, and the issue of free speech on the internet. In our regular On The Noise! segment, we talk about some current political prisoner news and other updates in the struggle against empire. Then, an overdue discussion about the explosive moondoggle that is Musk’s pet project Starship, the neo-Columbus mission to colonize Mars and perpetuate hyper-capitalism throughout the galaxy. Lastly, we are pleased to announce the twins are developing a mobile video game, SMASH Maga! Trump Zombie Apocalypse! It’s a retro ‘smash and run’ action adventure which will soon be available on mobile devices and other platforms! We’re featuring a song from the international collective of artists, Cacerolazo, in support of the pro-democracy movement against the military junta in Myanmar, where hundreds have died resisting the coup. This collective includes members from The Rebel Riot, Kultureshock, the Outcast, the Slingshot, and others, For more information and to donate to the cause, the band is encouraging people to check out www.isupportmyanmar.com.

Another episode, another seismic shift in the global landscape. This time, it's an an unprecedented mass uprising against police led by activists, protesters and yes, rioters, who are making moves to change the violent systemic racism of the police, prisons and politicians. So we'll be talking about the government repression of BLM and Antifa. In other news, the BOP is still on lockdown, but slowly, people are getting moved around, and Jeremy, after months of waiting in limbo in Grady County Jail where he caught coronavirus(and recovered), was finally transferred to a raggedy ass CCA joint, Talahatchie County Correctional Center, so we go in on them for a bit. Finally of course we're gonna delve into #Blueleaks, a leak by Anonymous published by Distributed Denial of Secrets, and we have Grace again with an additional very special guest. This podcasts featured musical guest is Godless Tyrant, who maybe can be best described as Brutal Plague War Metal. https://godlesstyrant.bandcamp.com/ Check out covid19behindbars.com Shownotes: Coronavirus in Prisons - 19 minutes, 9 seconds Brief History of CCA and the transfer to Talahatchie - 32 min 32 seconds #Blueleaks - 56 minutes, 38 seconds
