The Vinny Eastwood Show Podcast!

Vincent Eastwood (AKA MR. NEWS) was born in the ominous year of 1984, the same year set out in Orwell's masterpiece and the year of New Zealand's neo-liberal economic reforms. Email Vinny at: [e-mail] After working in the telecommunications industry he quit when he noticed that when he lied to the customer the companies profit margins went up. Unable to work or have an employer in the conventional sense Vincent went out with frustration at the mainstream media and began to make his own news by interviewing activists about real issues that truly affect New Zealand and the world. The idea is to get the activists who live and breathe the issues and are not bound by corporate or political parties to be the pundits, reporters and watch-dogs on the multi-faceted agendas of the global elite right here at home. He hopes to one day be part of an alternative media revolution that will replace the mainstream media with something that's relevant. Believes that everything good in his life has been given so he feels the need to give back to the community. An ardent patriot and activist Vinny has risked arrest many times to get the best footage from kiwi protests possible and is known for his flamboyant style of film making, both in the political sphere and music events becoming the life of the party in Auckland clubs. This passion and vision means that Vinny is well known in many circles in keeping with his philosophy that on the points we agree we should come together and collaborate, and on the points we disagree, leave it for another time, because we'll never get anything done fighting each other. One element he wants to bring to the conspiracy movement is music in an effort to revitalize politics & getting the youth involved. The MR NEWS Principles: If the media won’t do their job, don’t fight them, replace them, because they are no longer relevant. It is the medias job to keep an eye on the powerful to expose the corrupt, to let the population know what’s really going on. Without such responsibility there is nothing to stop the world coming to catastrophe at the hands of the few that control so much. It’s not about me, it’s about the idea. A man can be stopped, but nothing can stop an idea who’s time has come. A man can be shot, but ideas are bulletproof. When it comes to money, there is no profit motive, the donation money that I receive goes to me so I can eat and continue to do my work, equipment, the website and promotions. In order to prevent becoming the very scum I fight against, I must remove the profit motive and ability to have power over others. For if money is power & power corrupts, then it is imperative to refuse the personal accumulation of both. It is on the points we agree that we should come together & collaborate, on the points we disagree there is no point discussing them, they are insignificant compared to our similarities, this is most important, for infighting will only serve our enemy. I don’t want to do this, I wish I could come home every day, sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that everything is ok. I only do this because like it or not, I am the only one who will. I swear eternal vigilance against tyranny in all its forms, to replace it with justice, love and understanding, knowledge & strength of purpose. Terms & Conditions Apply ;)
