Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - 4-1-26

Author: Progressive Radio Network April 1, 2026 Duration: 57:00
In this week’s interview, we speak with the inimitable Elizabeth Nickson about how the world, especially much of today’s youth, is waking up to the reality of the global predators—that 1% Elite cabal who are trying to control the world. We discuss the brutal and almost impossible-to-confront reality of Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex, torture, and murder—and the blackmail enterprise and the capital crimes being exposed in the released Epstein files. Dr. Peter Breggin commented on the interview as follows: Thinking about and trying to face the topics of this interview can be very discouraging. The simple idea of inflicting pain and suffering on children is so unacceptable to most of us that I would simply draw away from facing it. An unloving, destructive society or culture such as has developed among that 1% sees human life as expendable. This is evidenced, for example, in a society that justifies taking life for the convenience of the group, such as offering euthanasia to those who are sick or elderly.  If any life is considered expendable, the treasuring of life in general is voided, and the government becomes less free and more destructive toward citizens in general. In our discussion, the question became how do you understand people who are so violent toward other people? It may help to view them as representatives of what Dr. Breggin calls the “Dynamic III: Coercion” in his paper on “The Three Dynamics of Human Progress: A Unified Theory Applicable to Individuals, Institutions and Society.” Review of Existential Psychology and Psychiatry, 21(1-3):97-123, 1988-89. The lowest aspects of the human condition are collected under this dynamic. Humans are seen as objects or biochemical devices. There is indifference toward others. Force is considered the means to any end. Exploitation and subjugation, totalitarianism, and involuntary relationships are the means to achieve any goal, object, or desire. While we are fighting against elite atrocities that vastly demean human life, understanding love can maintain our optimism and give us the strength to fully face the hatefulness that corrupts much of society. We look forward to exploring this topic further with our guests and through our writings.
