Steve Bhaerman – Signs of the Upwising
What I Learned From Three Years Doing Wiki Politiki Radio
Aired Tuesday, October 13, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with … Myself!
“Revolutionary uprisings just keep us on the wheel, going around in circles. We need an EVOLUTIONARY UPWISING to overgrow the current system.” — Swami Beyondananda
Hard to believe that it’s nearly three years since I did my first interview with cellular biologist Bruce Lipton to launch Wiki Politiki Radio. Our interview, about conscious evolution as our alternative to mass extinction is even more relevant today than it was then.
The current administration has brought us closer to our own species topping the Endangered Species list, as it makes its great leap backward toward feudalism. On the other hand, the best the Democrats can promise is that they are NOT Donald Trump. Their corporate agenda, however, cloaked in nice-sounding language and representing the dominance of technology is leading us forward to a brave new world of … neo-feudalism.
Fortunately, there is an awakening happening on both sides, and a growing movement from the “sane and sacred center” that is calling on us to work together, to collaborate for the betterment of each and all. And yeah, that sounds like an ideal, but unless the ideal becomes the real deal, there will be no deal at all. It’s a clear-cut, binary choice – a life economy or a death economy, an awakening or a wake.
Today’s conversation is about the “signs of the upwising” – the cues and clues that we are indeed awakening, and I will be offering ideas for how we might awaken in time, and use our good will, our knowledge, our wisdom, and our technology to bring back the missing piece in government of, by and for the people – the people.
Yes, I will be talking to myself … and hopefully speaking to you in a way that informs, inspires and activates. Please join me this Tuesday, October 13th, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Steven Machat – From Consumer to Citizen
How We Replace Passive Public Opinion with Active Public Will
Aired Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Entertainment Mogul, Attorney and Author Steven Machat
“It seems like the dysfunctional function of mainstream media is to serve up ‘babblum’ – weapons of mass-distraction to make sure the body politic never gets out of diapers.” — Swami Beyondananda
Just a few days ago it came to me.
The 2020s will be the Decade of the Citizen.
It will have to be, because the entrenched and dysfunctional political, social and economic systems hopelessly addicted to money and power cannot reform themselves. What is required is an outside intervention by we the people, or else we will devolve into just another “turd world” country.
Our guest this week, Steven Machat, has spent a lifetime in the entertainment industry, and has seen first-hand how consent is conceived and manufactured, how the industry feeds toxic memes, and how it disempowers originality and imposes subliminal narratives.
Steven grew up in show business. His father, entertainment attorney Marty Machat boasted clients like Phil Spector, Sam Cooke and the Rolling Stones. After graduating from Vanderbilt University law school, Steven went into business with his father. He became a worldwide entertainment attorney, music publisher, manager of music talent and record label owner as well as film producer among other commercial endeavors. His clients have included Electric Light Orchestra, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Leonard Cohen, Snoop Dogg, Ozzy Osbourne, and Hugh Masakela, and he also produced Bird on a Wire, the documentary film of the Leonard Cohen 1972 European tour.
His book “Gods, Gangsters and Honor” tells the story of his storied career in the music business.
His work and play have since branched out to the fields as broad as metaphysics, cosmology and politics. In 2015, he announced his campaign to run for the Senate from Florida as an independent candidate, and he also opened a School For Sacred Knowledge.
So … what will we talk about?
EVERYTHING.
And primarily how we the people re-empower ourselves individually and collectively.
If you are ready to be entertained, informed and inspired, please join us this Tuesday, October 6th , 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Richard Lang – Advisory Voting and an “Eco-System for Civic Engagement”
Restoring the Missing Piece in Government By the People – THE PEOPLE!
Aired Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Tech CEO and Author Richard Lang
“Even more than a new President, we need a new PRECEDENT – government of, by and for the people where the government does OUR bidding, not the bidding of the highest bidder.” — Swami Beyondananda
As we are caught in the swirl of the most toxic and dangerous election season in our lifetimes, citizens from across the political spectrum are asking two questions: How did it get this way? And, how do we restore the missing piece in government of, by and for the people – THE PEOPLE?
If you’ve had the sense that the will of the ordinary citizen in America has little or no impact on what legislation actually gets passed — you’re right. A study conducted by Princeton University in 2014 concluded: “The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.
Could this be why fewer Americans exercise their right to vote than any other “democratic” country in the world? Might be we need to rename our system “Futilism” because of the futility of voting for a candidate, who does the bidding of the highest bidder instead of doing your bidding?
Our guest this week, Richard Lang, has come up with a “meta-strategy” for bringing the collective (and amplified) voice of we the people to the forefront of politics. The idea starts with an observation: For the first time in known human history, it is now possible to convene an unlimited number of citizens, in one place, at one time, to cast collective, non-binding, advisory votes on any issue of collective concern or importance.
Think of it as Freedom of Assembly 3.0.
Richard, a software developer who launched a highly successful company, Burst.com in the 1990s, launched another company, Democrasoft to help “evolve democracy and empower individuals” in the 21st century. The result is his Virtual Country book, and the new platform for Advisory Voting.
Writes Richard, “We are talking about a new national institution for civic engagement, focused on issues instead of political parties and blind ideology — a powerful new counter-balance to the corrupting influence of big money in politics.”
Imagine … a space — nongovernmental, non-corporate, nonpartisan, independent of the mainstream media — where each citizen can have a voice and a verifiable vote, and these votes can be tabulated to indicate not just how citizens feel about certain issues, but how strongly they feel.
What if ten million or twenty million or fifty million American voters declared, “We want this”? While that vote would have no legal standing, simply recognizing the overwhelming support for a certain policy would provide pressure on legislators to adhere to the people’s will. Or face opposition at the polls.
And … what if we used technology wisely and consciously not to shape public opinion but to galvanize public will? What if we took advantage of that handy hand-held device that even homeless people own to bring people together in an entire eco-system for civic engagement that will evolve democracy into the 21st century?
If you’re ready to create “political climate change”, please join us this Tuesday, September 29th, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Barry James Dyke – Guaranteed Income — For Wall Street!
How the “Pirates of Manhattan” Steal From the Middle Class and Give to the Rich
Aired Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Author and Financial Advisor Barry James Dyke
“Who needs conspiracy theories when you have con’s piracy facts?”
— Swami Beyondananda
With the COVID lockdown and many businesses closed, there has been more talk this year about guaranteed income – a way to counteract trickle down economics with “bubble up”, payments from the bottom that bubble up and prosper everyone on the way up.
Unfortunately, the only “guaranteed income” we have right now is going to Wall Street, not Main Street. For decades, conscientious folks looking to secure a reasonably prosperous retirement have followed the dictates of Wall Street and financial advisors who have steered them to funds that have enriched already high paid executives, and impoverished middle class Americans.
This week on Wiki Politiki, we will go deeper into that story … and, more importantly show you ways that YOU can guarantee your retirement income. Our guest this week, Barry Dyke, is a financial advisor and author, whose three books shed light – and enlightenment – on the endarkened spaces of retirement investing.
Barry James Dyke is a best-selling author, advisor and speaker committed to telling the truth out about how Wall Street really works. Barry believes that today’s financial service and retirement planning systems continue to serve Wall Street, the government, the media, Ivy League academia and giant asset managers such as mutual funds more than the common man. Barry with his advisory firm, Castle Asset Management, LLC has made a spiritual, intellectual and professional commitment to act as an economic warrior that looks out for your best interests—not Wall Street.
He is the author of “The Pirates of Manhattan”, and the sequel “The Pirates of Manhattan II: Highway to Serfdom” (or as the Swami would say, “Serf city here we come!”) and his latest book, “Guaranteed Income: A Risk-Free Guide to Retirement”, a book that unveils and documents how The Federal Reserve System, major banks and corporations such as General Motors, Verizon, AT&T, Bank of America, Boeing, Coca Cola, Bell System, TRW, Pfizer, Motorola, use life-insurance and annuity products to finance their corporate and executive retirement programs while most Americans remain-at-risk in their 401(k) programs funded with highly speculative actively-traded mutual funds.
If you’re ready to shift wealth from Wall Street to Main Street, please join us this Tuesday, September 22nd, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Guy Crittenden – Resetting the “Reset”
Can A People’s “Upwising” Overgrow the Globalist Agenda?
Aired Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Canadian Journalist, Author and Activist Guy Crittenden
Swami’s Dictionary:
Gobble-ization: The practice of mining the global economy (by saying “mine, mine, mine”) so that greedy turkeys gobble everything up.
— Swami Beyondananda
When Bruce Lipton and I published Spontaneous Evolution in 2009, Barack Obama had just been elected President of the United States. In our first hardback edition of the book, we celebrated the election as a sign of a great evolutionary upwising, indicating that the majority of Americans prefer living into the “we’re-all-in-it-together” meme as opposed to the “every-man-for-himself” dominate-or-be-dominated paradigm.
And while I still suspect that most of us would rather live by the Golden Rule as opposed to the rule of gold, the neoliberalism of the Obama Democrats has shown itself to NOT be the vehicle that will take us there. A dozen years after the heady celebration of Obama’s election, the body politic is locked in a mutually-destructive battle-to-the-death that will insure that, whoever wins the election, the American people will lose.
How did we get here? And now that we are in this war of the worlds, what now? Can we agree on an agreed upon reality? Can we call forth a sane and sacred center to lead us from the middle?
Our guest on Wiki Politiki this week is Canadian-based journalist Guy Crittenden, who recently posted a piece that caught my eye – An Open Letter to Bill Gates – that calls out the technological “fix” that will further destroy the natural world. Guy Crittenden enjoyed a career as an environmental journalist and magazine editor for 25 years, winning 14 Kenneth R. Wilson Awards for excellence in business journalism and was twice a finalist at the National Magazine Awards.
Over New Years Eve 2013-2014 Crittenden embarked on a life-changing trip to Peru after which time he became a full-time freelance researcher and writer focusing on environmental and consciousness shift themes, and geopolitics.
His book The Year of Drinking Magic: Twelve Ceremonies with the Vine of Souls won the Silver Medal at the 2018 Independent Book Publisher Awards.
These days Crittenden is focused on writing about the impending Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Global Reset agenda of the World Economic Forum and related international bodies. He leads a group called the Rainbow Warriors that develops pamphlet material and street theatre ideas to protest what its members see as a global corporate coup d’état.

Harvey Wasserman – How We the People Can Protect the Vote in 2020
Making Sure Every Vote Counts, and Every Vote is Counted
Aired Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Author and Activist Harvey Wasserman
“Those new ‘smart’ voting machines are so smart, they don’t even need voters.”
— Swami Beyondananda
One of the characteristics of a sociopathic conmen is that they will boldly and blatantly tell you ahead of time what they intend to do. Another characteristic is that they project their own evil intentions on to others. So it should come as no surprise to those who recognize Donald Trump as the sociopathogen he is, that he has already announced he will not accept the results of the election, if they are not to his liking. And he and his Vichy Republican enablers have continued to accuse the DEMOCRATS of voting fraud – as they have done everything in their abusive power to disenfranchise potential Democrat voters.
Trump knows – as Josef Goebbels knew before him – that if you repeat a lie often enough it will begin to sound like the truth.
By the way, I offer my assessment of Donald Trump not as a partisan, but as a student of meta-politics my entire adult life. I know what I am seeing, and as the legendary baseball umpire Bill Klem said, “I call ‘em as I see ‘em.” Or to quote Swami Beyondananda, “If it quacks like a duck and steps like a goose, there is something fowl afoot.”
Given this – new word – shituation, what do we do about it?
Those who want to call forth a sane and sacred center to preserve government of, by and for the people — what can we do in the next two months to make sure everyone who wants to vote does vote, and those votes are counted?
Our guest this week Harvey Wasserman has some answers, and not a moment too soon.
He has been active in civil rights, peace, ecological, safe energy, and election protection issues for almost sixty years. In 1966 he met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on the Meredith voter rights march through Mississippi. A co-founder of the global grassroots No Nukes Movement, in 1979 he helped produce the legendary MUSE Concerts in Madison Square Garden. A radio host, journalist and historian, he’s written or co-written some 20 books, including seven on election protection with Robert Fitrakis.
He hosts the Green Power & Wellness podcast at PRN FM and California Solartopia, broadcast at KPFK/Pacifica-Los Angeles. His Master’s Degree in US History is from the University of Chicago, where he was a Woodrow Wilson fellow; his BA in History & Journalism is from the University of Michigan, where he was Editorial Director of the Michigan Daily. He is also a key member of the Grassroots Election Protection Coalition.

Mark Crispin Miller – Masking Unmasked!
A Journey to a Parallel Universe
Aired Tuesday, September 1, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Author and Journalist Mark Crispin Miller
“What a topsy-turvy time we are living in. These days, the ones WITHOUT the masks are the outlaws.” — Swami Beyondananda
On this week’s show, we are going to take a journey to a parallel universe – a reality just as real as this one, maybe even more real, where people believe that wearing masks DOESN’T make most people safer during the COVID crisis. It’s a reality where thousands of Europeans have taken to the streets to protest lockdown, where a huge crowd listened to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. speak out against mandatory vaccinations in the same spot where his Uncle John F. Kennedy spoke in Berlin nearly sixty years ago. It’s a reality where the people who showed up are not right-wing neo-Nazis as the New York Times proclaimed, but ordinary citizens from across the political spectrum alarmed by what they see as totalitarianism.
Our guide is journalist Mark Crispin Miller, who set out on a journey some fifteen years ago to delve into the truth about America’s “electile dysfunction”, and found himself at odds with his own “progressive” tribe. The further he has gone into exploring what others have termed “conspiracy theories”, the more he has discovered “con’s piracy facts” – discomforting truths that indicate that those with too much money and too much power – conman pirates — have already decided what our future will be like, and this future may not be to our liking.
In these apocalyptic – and in many ways apoplectic – times when the veils are being lifted on all sorts of things we would prefer not to look at, Mark has had the courage to speak up where others are silent. I may not agree with everything he says, and I don’t expect you to either. And … beyond the polarizing and incomplete narratives on both sides, Mark is going to give you a chance to look at a bigger picture.
Mark Crispin Miller earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University in 1971, and his doctorate in English from Johns Hopkins University in 1977. He is currently a Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. He is the author of several books, including, The Bush Dyslexicon: Observations on a National Disorder, Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney’s New World Order and Fooled Again: The Real Case for Electoral Reform (2007).
Miller is the editor of Forbidden Bookshelf, an e-book series that revives important works now out of print, most of which were variously killed at birth. He also wrote the introduction to the 2004 edition of Edward Bernays’ book Propaganda. He is also editor of News From the Underground.
If you are confused about the mixed messages – even by the CDC – about wearing masks, and you are ready to see the mythology “unmasked” — please join us this Tuesday, September 1st, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Restoring Civic Trust in Polarizing Times
Aired Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Author and Family Therapist Bill Doherty, Co-Founder of Braver Angels
“We need more visionaries, and fewer divisionaries.”
— Swami Beyondananda
Here is an irony supplement to munch on.
America is in the midst of the most politically polarizing times since the Civil War … and yet, a 2018 Pew Research Center poll found that nearly 80 percent of Americans in each party believe it’s important for Republicans and Democrats to work together on issues.
Huh? How could that be?
Are we that schizophrenic … or, is there a deep longing to find our sane and sacred center at the heart and soul of who we are?
Our guest this week on Wiki Politiki is family therapist and author Bill Doherty, co-founder of Braver Angels, an organization dedicated to bringing the polarized sides together to find a new angle – where instead of dehumanizing the other side, we re-humanize the other.
The problem is obvious. The political narrative and discourse on both sides is to paint the other as a dangerous enemy, and the less contact we have with the other side, the easier it is to demonize them. In December 2016, Braver Angels co-founders David Blankenhorn, Bill Doherty, and David Lapp brought together 10 Trump supporters and 11 Clinton supporters in South Lebanon, Ohio for their first Red/Blue Workshop. The goal was simple. They wanted to see if Americans could still disagree respectfully – and just maybe, find common ground.
The results were surprising and heartening. And I quote:
“Republican and Democrat, native born and immigrant: these Americans liked each other. But first they had to hear one another’s stories. Black and white, Christian and Muslim: these Americans could appreciate each others opinions. But first they needed to see where these opinions came from. They could listen to each other’s points of view once they saw one another, not as stereotypes, but as neighbors in a country they shared.”
We will be talking with Bill Doherty this week to hear more about this ongoing dialogue and project, and the implications for “political climate change” in the near future. Bill Doherty is a co-founder of Braver Angels and the creator of the Braver Angels workshop approach. Bill is a Professor and Director of the Minnesota Couples on the Brink Project in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota. Bill combines a background in family therapy and community engagement.
Keep in mind that the intention of Braver Angels is not to change minds, but to change hearts so that the two sides disagree more constructively and dueling dualities can evolve into dynamic duo dance partners.
If you’re ready for a true American EVOLUTION, please join us this Tuesday, August 25th, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Fred Burks – Navigating the Apocalypse
Facing the Awful Truth, Embracing the Awesome Opportunity
Aired Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Fred Burks, Former Government Official and Journalist (PEERS and Want To Know)
“It’s time to bring down the Irony Curtain, the invisible wall of impropaganda that separates we the people from the truth.”
— Swami Beyondananda
To paraphrase Dickens, it was the worst of times … it was the worst of times.
No, wait a minute, that’s not right. But it sure seems that way. Welcome to the Apocalypse. As you may know the definition of “apocalypse” is “the lifting of the veils” and for anyone paying attention – or for that matter, not paying attention – just as the curtain seems to be going down on Western Civilization, the curtains seem to be rising to expose every manner of toxic perpetration.
But that’s only part of the news.
Along with the awful truth, we are being exposed to the awesome opportunity of awakening and conscious evolution. Our guest this week, Fred Burks, is able to speak about both. A one-time interpreter for both Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, he has had a front-row seat to our political sausage factory, and has looked into the heart of darkness with an unblinking eye. He has also pursued and studied paths of awakening, and love-and-spirit based communities that point toward humanity’s future, if we are to have one.
This week’s conversation will focus around swirling political narratives, the deep history behind the deep state, the truth and fallacy of Q-Anon and other “conspiracy theories” … seen from a higher, deeper and wider view that will help us metabolize the toxins and find the nourishment to create a truly new and healthy order.
Fred Burks says his deepest intention for his entire adult life has been to live in service to all beings. His favorite saying is “I give all that I am into the service of All This Is.” This intention has brought countless miracles, big and small into his life, including serving as an interpreter for Presidents Clinton and G.W. Bush in the White House, founding several love-and-spirit based communities on the Internet and in the San Francisco Bay Area, and considerable success in letting go of his own judgment and arrogance to find love and deep connection with those around him. He manages the PEERS nonprofit network of transformation-focused websites, which are all about shining a loving light into the shadows and building a new paradigm of love and cooperation on our planet.
If you’re ready for a sane and reverent conversation regarding the various “truth movements” and the higher truth of who we are and where we are going as a species, please join us this Tuesday, August 18th, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.

Paul Levy – Confronting “Notseeism”
How Looking Evil In the Eye Can Awaken Us From Our Collective Bad Dream
Aired Tuesday, August 11, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST
Interview with Paul Levy, “Wounded Healer” and Author of “Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil”
“SWAMI’S DICTIONARY:
Notseeism: A deadly disease of the body politic where otherwise good people choose to not see
what they find too uncomfortable to look at.”
— Swami Beyondananda
Over the past month or so, a few of my colleagues have written articles expressing alarm at how many “spiritual folks” have gone off the deep end embracing wild “conspiracy theories”, forsaking rational science and the material world view. Indeed, there are some wild and wacky scenarios out there – like Q-Anon claiming that Donald Trump is really a “good guy”, and at the right moment will bring forth his good friend, John F. Kennedy, Jr. who didn’t really die in that plane crash, to save the day.
Just goes to show how far people will go to find a savior … without recognizing that we, through our collective awakening, just might be the saviors we have been praying for.
Regarding “conspiracy theory” (a term popularized in the late 1960s by the CIA to dissuade further investigation of the Kennedy assassination), I take a slightly different view from my colleagues. I see too many folks suffering from “conspiracy denial” – where they intentionally choose to not connect obvious dots because doing so would lead to discomforting conclusions.
Our guest this week on Wiki Politiki, Jungian student Paul Levy quotes Carl Jung as saying that we must develop an “imagination for evil” in order to recognize our own complicity in evil, rather than putting it outside of ourselves. Writes Levy, “If we can’t imagine the evil that human beings are potentially capable of—and of which we ourselves, under the right circumstances, could also be capable of—in our naivety, we offer ourselves into evil’s hands.”
If we look at the current polarized political “shituation”, we see an ever-escalating projection of evil onto the “other.” On the right, we see self-described “Christians” embracing Donald Trump and his philosophy of “hate thy neighbor.” On the left, we see the equally-ironic “cancel culture” proclaiming that “INTOLERANCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!”
This week’s conversation will – hopefully with humor and humility – shine light on the darkness that makes these kinds of projections possible, and point us toward the awakening in the human psyche that can transform human civilization. And not a moment too soon.
A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul Levy calls himself a “wounded healer in private practice”, assisting others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. Among his books are The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality and Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil. He is the founder of the “Awakening in the Dream Community” in Portland, Oregon. An artist, he is deeply steeped in the work of Carl Gustav Jung, and has been a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 35 years. He was the coordinator for the Portland PadmaSambhava Buddhist Center for over twenty years.
If you feel overcome or overwhelmed by what you perceive as “evil” in the world, and are looking toward evolutionary transformation, please join us this Tuesday, August 11th, 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET.
