  • Good info, good guests, thought provoking

    Great podcast made nearly unlistenable due to the way they randomly drop ads in the middle of sentences. Brutal. Would be 5 stars otherwise

  • Thank you from Australia

    I’ve been listening to your podcast for a couple of years now after discovering it during the crazy covid times. I went down a few rabbit holes searching for some answers but just like your recent interviewee suggested, I exited the rabbit holes, turned down social media despite running two businesses and found peace and calm listening and watching nothing most days except for the life I’ve created around me. From listening to your podcast and a select few others ( and no tv for years) my mental... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Guest: Joby Weeks - From Bitcoin Pioneer to House Arrest: Inside Joby Week's Fight
Q: What initially drew you to Bitcoin and crypto, and how did you see it as a solution to the existing financial system?
Weeks emphasizes Bitcoin as a way to transfer value peer-to-peer without the need for banks or governments, highlighting energy usage as a fundamental attribute of money and the potential to circumvent debt-based money systems.
Guest: James Corbett - Crisis Narratives & Global Strategy: Energy, Iran & The Petrodollar
Q: How is the propaganda around Iran similar and different to the propaganda around Iraq and 9-11, and what playbooks are you seeing again?
Corbett notes that while the Iran narrative shares some recurring propaganda motifs with Iraq (fear-based 'nukes' rhetoric), the Iran case lacks a fully concerted public push and relies more on rapid escalation and ad hoc justifications, suggesting a shift in how propaganda is deployed even as public messaging remains influential. He also discusses how geopolitical incentives, rather than a single scripted plan, guide different administrations.
Guest: Sarah - Inside Gideon's Army: The Shadow War To Rescue Human Trafficking Victims
Q: What is Operation Gideon's Army all about and how did it start?
It was founded by veterans and civilians who trained in child rescue; the group focuses on US operations to rescue trafficking victims, supported by a task force with military-style planning and nonviolent, consent-based exits.
Guest: Sam Knight - Mindless to Mindful: Escaping The Digital Drug of Social Media
Q: What inspired Sam Knight to start MindlessHQ and what is the core mission?
Sam explains that the mission began from a personal awakening to how screens hijack attention and affect mental health, leading to a project that reframes social media as a tool to cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness rather than a source of addiction.
Guest: Ancap Tim - Epstein Files, Rothschild Revelations, & Liberty-Folk Energy
Q: How do we use this moment to move the conversation from which politician is worse to the fundamental question of why are we allowing anyone to have this kind of unchecked power?
Tim emphasizes the importance of recognizing the true nature of the state as the enemy and suggests a cultural shift away from legitimizing state power through personal freedom and non-violent forms of resistance.
