Walter Rhein Podcast

Hello Friends! By far the most common comment I get is something along the lines of, “Walter, what can we do to help?” Every time I hear this, it truly elevates my spirit. Above all else, I want you all to know that there are good people out there. In fact, there are an overwhelming number of good people out there. All they need is a slight push to activate them and turn them into forces of justic...

I really appreciate Egberto Willies ! He’s a fantastic advocate for humanity and I am honored every time he gives me a little bit of his time. We had a wonderful discussion here. It’s time to activate the minds of the good people out there who feel helpless, or don’t know how to become forces of justice for good! Little by little, I feel I’m seeing a change in our society. The concepts that were f...

It’s been a big week of lives and I’m just getting a chance to get them published now. I’m always delighted by the intelligent, accomplished people I get to meet on this platform. It also makes me frustrated how infrequently we get to hear from such people in the mainstream media. Eric and I have done a lot of talks together now, but this was our first opportunity to sit together. Naturally we got...

I remember the first time I came home after getting beat up on the school bus. I pointed to my bloody nose and asked my dad to do something about it. His response was my first introduction to the true cruelty of the world. “Well, what did you do to make somebody hit you?” “I didn’t do anything,” I managed to mumble. He gave me the smirk that indicated he’d already decided I was lying. “Well, that...

Hello Everyone! Every time I talk with Natasha K. , the time goes by too fast. For the first part of this conversation, my mic wasn’t properly plugged in which created a bit of an echo effect. I finally fixed it, but there’s a moment where I seem to drop off the call (I come back). The more I look back on the 2024 election, the more enraged I become and the indifference, entitlement, and the self-...

Every time I get on social media, I see manifestations of the same underlying fear. I’ll talk about the primaries and the midterms and people snort at me. “You don’t think there will actually be midterms do you? The Republicans are going to invoke the insurrection act in order to cancel the elections. You’re a special kind of stupid if you think there will actually be midterms.” “Oh,” I reply, “so...

Hey Everyone! This was another wonderful talk with Cryn! Unfortunately we had a few audio problems so thanks for your patience. It’s so important right now to periodically emphasize that we MUST ALWAYS be NONVIOLENT. The people out there making absurd statements are not helping us. I get that they’re scared and frustrated, but the only way to win the battle we’re in is to be peaceful. I also under...

One of the first things that we need to overcome in our fight against fascism is our belief that we’re powerless. We are not powerless. If you don’t believe it yet, then find some support groups who will repeat those words to you until you do believe. We’re not powerless. We are powerful. In fact, we’re so powerful that abusive people live in a perpetual state of terror. We’ve all heard the phrase...

Hello Friends, This was a nice talk with Murphy of The Exile Files . He’s originally from Ireland, but he’s spent time in the US and it’s great to touch bases with him to get a perspective from across the pond. We started out trying to just talk about film, but the politics of America grabbed us and sucked us back in (like it tends to do lately). We ended up discussing “First Blood” and how the fi...

Hello Friends! Well, I finally did it, I finally upgraded my profile picture. Everybody else has been using the cartoon drawings my daughter has been making for them, so I thought I’d do the same. Here’s the one of me, Shane Yirak and Arturo Dominguez : Here’s the one of me, Nick Paro and Eric Lullove (we’ll be adding in Evan Fields the moment my daughter gets done with the drawing. I’ve been havi...

The billionaires came with their fancy cars and their expensive suits and their smug looks. They were invited as guests onto television shows, then they launched their own shows, then they bought up the networks so they could have even greater control over the messages available to all. “We see your pain,” they said. “We see how much you’re suffering! We want only to help! We’ve come in peace! We...

This was a wonderful talk with my good friends Robert Danna and KingRayVet . One of the most terrifying aspects of this lawless Republican regime is that they continue to attempt to erase history. They might control all the media, they might be able to burn all the books, but there are good people out there who REMEMBER. So until they kill us all, they can’t erase the facts about the past. I have...

Hello Folks! Normally I like to have an article for you in the morning, but I’ll just say it—I’m exhausted. Fortunately I have a ton of replays that I’ve been excited to share with you. In this episode of Notes of the week, I got to meet Jack who is absolutely wonderful! I’ve scheduled another talk with him in a few weeks. Melissa Corrigan, she/her also joined us and that is always my great pleasu...

Hello Everyone, I’d planned to take the day off, but I keep reading reports that Liam Ramos is in poor health after being detained. I don’t see the justification for kids being made the suffer under any circumstances. What assurances do we have that the children who are being detained are being treated humanely? This is a reasonable question. Kids are innocent. They’ve done nothing wrong. We need...

Originally published on Medium in 2022. “You’ll understand when you’re older.” I used to hate it when adults told me that. I used to get it a lot because I’m naturally inclined to question things and I grew up in a backwards, rural Wisconsin town that was inclined to white supremacy . “Why can’t you explain it to me now ?” When I asked that, authority figures would just smile at me condescendingly...

Hello Everybody, This is the second conversation I had with Emily Berge. She’s one of the candidates running for the seat currently occupied by Derrick Van Orden. We’re joined by Nick Paro to help ensure that candidates like Emily get as much visibility as possible. We are in an era of new media. It’s wonderful to have this opportunity to talk directly to our future representatives. I think one of...
