Michael Brooks - Rest In Power




Michael Brooks passed away suddenly yesterday. I found this out late last night.

"Who is Michael Brooks?" You may ask.

The short answer is, a voice. That's who he was, a voice - powerful and brutally honest - in the non-mainstream media. Funny. So funny. Impressions of; Chris Mathews, Right Wing Nelson Mandela, to name a few. For as long as I've been a listener, he was a co-host of The Majority Report podcast, and host of his own podcast "The Michael Brooks Show." It should be no surprise, if you know me, that he was of the left. When I say that, you need to know he was not a Democrat. In fact he was harshly critical of the Democratic party, and the mainstream candidates, and focus group tested platform.

The more detailed answer, is he was a voice of the Left. It makes me laugh when I think of people talking about the "radical leftist Democrat party." That phrase makes me laugh. It's absurd. There is no "Left" in mainstream politics. Obamacare is not a Left policy. I don't pretend to know the political future of the world at large, or the United States specifically. I do feel that a reckoning is coming. Is it 4 years off? Is it 10? Is it more? What I do know is that listening to Michael, I heard a voice that felt the same.

If you think, or feel, a change is coming. If you are of the left. If you are not of the left, but not of the right. If you don't know who you are of. If you are tired of the toxicity of the mainstream media, and its absurd silliness. If you're any of that, listen to Michael.
