Summary

In the latest episode of This Week in Doom, The Green Chicken discusses a couple of recent pieces the Doomberg team published which have attracted a significant level of attention. One covers the recent train derailment in East Palestine, OH, the other Seymour Hersh’s article about the destruction of the Nord Stream Pipeline. As always, Doomie doesn’t shy away from offering a thoughtful and well-researched appraisal of both events and, as always, the team’s assessments have stirred up plenty of emotion amongst their readership. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com. Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

Before we get going, here's a bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should

0:14.1

be considered as investment advice. This conversation is for informational and hopefully

0:19.0

entertainment purposes only, so while we hope you find it both informative and entertaining,

money into these crazy markets. And now, on with the show.

Welcome everybody to another edition of This Week in Doom, joining me as always to bring

the Doom, is the green chicken himself, Doom though. Hi mate, how are you?

0:57.5

Hey, Brad, how are you doing today? Great to be back with you.

0:59.9

Wish we could be coming together under slightly happier circumstances, but we do have a very

1:04.7

serious topic to talk about today. And ironically, probably on the other side of Doom in this

1:09.4

case.

1:10.4

Yeah, no, exactly right, exactly right. And the topic at hand is the recent chemical

1:15.3

spill in Ohio. And you know, you wrote what I thought was a brilliantly sanguine piece,

1:22.7

even reading it and understanding how balanced it was and how calming it was for someone

1:28.5

who has a reputation for spreading the doom. I knew it was a very brave piece. I knew

1:33.5

it was a very brave piece. The second I opened it. So let's talk about it. Let's talk

1:37.7

about your thought process first in terms of writing that.

1:40.7

So yeah, as you say, we are Doomberg and we have been known to indulge in a bit of alarmism

1:45.7

when we think it is justified. And there was a completely different piece we could have

1:50.2

written. And we would be highly qualified to write it. And it would have stoked a lot

1:54.8

of fear and angst, but it would be irresponsible to write that piece because we don't believe
