    One of the few podcasters out there that presents alternative views and opinions. One of the great interviewers but this interviewee in my view is a disappointment and unconvincing

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

KunstlerCast 448 — Lt. Morriseu's Rebellion and the Rise of Bernie Sanders
Q: How did Dennis Morriseau's One-Man protest unfold in front of the White House and what were the consequences?
He stood with a sign at the White House, was arrested, jailed for the night, and later faced a protracted military hearing and a potential court-martial. He ultimately avoided prison and stayed in the army by exchanging a dishonorable discharge for an under honorable conditions discharge after intense legal proceedings.
KunstlerCast 442 — Elizabeth Nickson on Globalism and its Dark Mysteries
Q: Can you begin to identify where this absurdity is coming from and what could possibly be the motive behind it?
Nickson attributes the phenomena to a fusion of global capitalism with Marxist agendas, driven by elite consumption patterns and global governance mechanisms that undermine local autonomy, while highlighting regulatory and NGO influence as a force shaping policy and society.
KunstlerCast 439 — Alex Krainer on Disturbances in the Geopolitical Field
Q: Has anything changed in your view?
He argues the geopolitical landscape is being rearranged into more coherent spheres of influence, with major powers recalibrating their strategic footprints and alliances.
KunstlerCast 439 — Alex Krainer on Disturbances in the Geopolitical Field
Q: What are you seeing in just the last day?
Krainer notes ongoing war psyops, the selective portrayal of events, and the importance of discerning the truth through historical context and long-running patterns.
KunstlerCast 438 — Stephan Sanders-Faes on Europe's Glide Path to Suicide
Q: Is there any talk of repatriating them to their countries of origin?
There is some talk of repatriation bonuses, but there is significant abuse in the system that complicates the situation.
