Giuseppe Vafanculo from the District of Criminals has spent his entire life as a spiritual seeker and a researcher with insatiable curiosity. He has lived an extraordinarily ordinary life.

Giuseppe is a life-long skeptic with an heretical, iconoclastic distrust of those in power. The three sides of Giuseppe’s biographical perfect triangle are professional journalist, doctor of Oriental medicine, and songwriter/recording artist. Giuseppe is a true 21st-century Renaissance man.

Giuseppe grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin resisting the indoctrination of Catholic school for his first 9 grades. His quest for knowledge led first to a degree in journalism and mass communications in the early ‘80s. As a professional journalist, Giuseppe wrote 500+ byline articles in the Milwaukee Sentinel & national specialty magazines and publications.

As a mid-life career change shortly after the turn of the century, Giuseppe graduated Summa Cum Laude from a top-5 Oriental Medicine College with dual degrees Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. He is nationally board certified as an Acupuncturist and licensed in both Virginia and Wisconsin.

Giuseppe merged his two major career experiences in 2020. He created, produces and is the host of The Perfect Triangle for Revolution Radio (www.freedomslips.com) Giuseppe co-hosts The Wisdom Circle and Operation Scorpio: exploring the known and the unknown. Giuseppe created Rising Tide Media along with partners David Scorpio and Chris Weinert to video simulcast all shows on Twitch, Facebook, and Twitter. (https://www.rtidemedia.com/)

Giuseppe created and launched, and regularly appears as a commentator on Need to Know: The Fetzer Report -- the daily news, analysis and commentary program on YouTube, FaceBook and Twitter by the legendary Professor Jim Fetzer.

Giuseppe has a 35-year career as a singer, songwriter, musician, engineer, & producer of his own original songs. Giuseppe’s songs have been played on radio stations around the world. In 2019, two songs (Dragonfly & Kintsukuroi) by his musical alter ego Lumen Jingos made it into the top 40 of the European Independent Music Chart compilation. In 2020 his single Tragic Innocence made it into the top 30 of the Euro Indie chart. Giuseppe’s live shows have received positive reviews throughout the United States.
