Hello friends! I have been operating GoldendaleMatters.com and TheTorchReport.com simultaneously for months now. What started out as the Good Morning Goldendale podcast has grown into a national audience that reaches all four corners of the country. The growth has been exciting and I am grateful for the support and encouragement from the local community!

It takes a lot of time and effort to keep both sites current and up and running, so I've been gradually transitioning toward making The Torch Report my primary site. It's based on the Substack platform, which is where "Letters From Luke" come from. If you have not already, you can subscribe here.

You can continue to enjoy listening to my daily ~20 minute podcasts by subscribing to the Torch Report. You'll get daily articles with tons of links that document my research, plus if you join the Patriot Club you will gain access to special reports and behind the scenes footage!

We are in tumultuous times. Right now there seems to be a lull in the action, but I assure you that the Great Reset is far from complete. There is bumpy road ahead. Heading into fall time, it would be wise to prepare yourself and your family as best as possible for the worst case scenario.

Hope for the best. Plan for the worst. Nobody knows how this will all play out!

May you all find peace in these perilous times!

Sincerely,

Luke Throop

What's more likely: An alien invasion or corrupt governments deliberately injecting people with a harmful substance?

I find it absolutely fascinating that the Chinese have now approved HIV medication to fight the coronavirus.

Early in my research I recall learning about how mRNA vaccines could potentially destroy the body's natural immune response. The scientific community debated about warning vaccine recipients of this risk as a matter of informed consent, despite the Emergency Use Authorization. How serious is this issue? Consider these excerpts from the National Library of Medicine:

"Results of the study: COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies may sensitize vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated."

Vaccines may "sensitize" recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated. That would mean that the unvaccinated natural immune system, unhampered by genetic modifications, would provide greater protection against disease. Conversely, it would indicated that the vaccines were at the very least damaging the immune system, if not out right destroying it.

Laughing at myself and looking at the world through the eyes of an ignorant peasant.

It's a funny story. Recent polling indicates that almost 98 MILLION people still believe that Joe Biden is doing a great job!

(For the math lovers, that's 37.5% of the ~290 million adults in the country.)

I'd like to laugh at these morons, but first I need to laugh at myself.

Let me tell you story:

I have a book on my shelf titled The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy. I've never read it. Sure, I've flipped through it a few times, but I've never actually read it. It was published in 1988 and covers everything from idioms and fine art, to literature and world history. Tucked in between "ivory towers" and "Iwo Jima" there is an entry on the “Ivy League” institutions that comprise the heart of America's academic elite.

If only I'd read about that yesterday! Last night, as my wife and I were debriefing the day, she happened to pull up the Banks, Tanks, & Biden's Blunder article.... she paused with a look of amusement on her face. She looked directly at me, with love in her eyes, and said: "It's Ivy League, not Ivory League."

We laughed. Growing up in a plywood shack in the Alaskan wilderness, I knew I was culturally challenged. We didn't have running water or electricity, let alone a TV...

Connecting the dots between Central Bank Digital Coins, Global Digital Currency, and the violent riots that are erupting all around the globe.

It's a global game. As the global socialists continue trying to take over the world, they often tip their cards. Though they may boast Ivory League credentials, they are not as smart as they think they are. Their arrogance is based on their ignorance. They may be smarter than half the people out there, but as George Carlin famously said:

"Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize half of them are stupider than that."

This the crowd the politicians play to. This is the audience the media plays to. They soup up their spoon-fed narrative with a few fancy words so it sounds good, but underneath the fluff there is no logical substance. Not realizing that intelligent people can see straight through their lies, the Left just keeps on lying, hoping enough useful idiots will buy the hype and sign on to their utopian fantasies.

They might be right. When confronted with reality, liberals are baffled. I don't expect they would follow what I'm about to say, but I do believe that you will appreciate the perspective I’m about to present.

What do Homeland Security, the Climate Crisis, Hillary Clinton, and global vaccinations all have in common?

Some of the recent comments made by officials from the Biden administration are so outrageous, it seems impossible that those officials actually believe what they are saying or that they could say it with a straight face. Consider these whoppers:

  • Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed on Tuesday that our southern border is secure despite a record number of drug smuggling, human trafficking, illegal aliens flooding through on the daily, with virtual impunity. There have already been 1,746,119 "encounters" on the porous southern border this year alone, which is more than all of 2021. To this Mayorkas says, "Look, the border is secure." Does anyone actually believe this guy?
  • National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby made the outrageous assertion that the Biden administration's haggling with Iranian Islamic terrorists over a nuclear deal was somehow going to be a boon for Americans by reducing the pain at the pump. This claim comes despite the fact that the administration has recently doubled down on the global climate agenda, canceled more gas and oil leases, and shipped 5 million barrels of oil from our strategic reserves to countries overseas, including to China.
  • U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken continues to push the narrative (and bald-faced lie) that the "Kremlin's unprovoked war in Ukraine" is "dramatically and deliberately aggravating" the global food crisis, vowing an additional $5 BILLION in humanitarian aide on top of the nearly $8 billion in security assistance already sent over and the truly staggering amount of U.S. military equipment currently parked on Putin's back porch. He also fails to mention that U.S. officials really have no way of tracking this "support" once it lands in the hands of the notoriously corrupt Ukrainian officials—or the fact that the real driving force behind global food shortages is the radical climate agenda, not the war in Ukraine.

It seems laughable that any of these officials actually believe what they are saying. In reality, I suspect they know that they are lying and continue to do so to further their agenda. Not only is this common political chicanery, it has become the commonplace tactic to lead the sheep ever closer to the slaughter. It's simple and effective.

They can just keep lying, because people keep believing.

Dodging some dicey conspiracies to expose the disturbing truth about what's really going on.

Two of the critical components in this global takeover are  weaponized surveillance and censorship enhanced by artificial  intelligence. While the threat of an invisible enemy  induces panic and short-circuits critically thinking, the supposed  climate crisis provides supreme justification for selfless preening and  self-destructive public policy. Thus, the good humans of the world go  along to get along and simply comply out of impulse. The reason these  useful idiots are incapable of comprehending the bigger picture is  precisely because their attention has been trained to focus on an  illusion.

Some wise individual once said, "Life is about 10% of what happens to you, and 90% what you do about it." It's a timeless adage that cuts straight to the heart of daily living. In any given moment, anything can happen. Unexpected things crop up all the time, often in the least convenient moments, and things very seldom work out exactly as we have planned. But, they always work out, one way or another.

This is a comforting perspective, isn't it? There are so many things that are beyond our control, so many things that we cannot do much about, that it really doesn't do us much good to worry about them, right? There is a certain element of acceptance that is a prerequisite for peace of mind. Life in this moment cannot be any way other than the way that it is. Right here, right now, it is what it is.

We have to accept the gift of life just as it is. Grounding in gratitude, reflecting on current reality, we can then chart a path forward. Everything is always in motion. Change is inevitable. We can resist it, we can embrace it, or we can even accelerate it. Ultimately, we can chose to use change. We can use change to our own personal advantage, and we should, and we can choose to use change in a way that benefits our families, friends, communities, counties, etc.

By extending this concept to its natural endpoint, we find the whole of humanity choosing to use change for the good of all. However plausible this may seem, such a stretch quickly becomes detached from reality. The premise is sound, the conclusion is not. It is inconceivable to coordinate the actions of 8 billion distinctly different individuals. Not everyone will agree to play along. It's just that simple.

That is why global agendas are ultimately rooted in control.

Exploring the circumstances that shape wildly different political perspectives and how this is impacting our current political discourse.

A Philosophical Exposition on Political Circumstance

There is a particularly interesting dichotomy in political perspectives that falls along the line between rural small town living and the hustle and bustle of big city metropolitan life. I'm sure that this is obvious to everyone on both sides and there is certainly no shortage of stereotypes slung both ways. It's the classic us versus them, as "ignorant hicks" square off with the "academic elites" in every political cycle.

Country folk scoff at the educated idiots who "don't know their ass from a hole in the ground," while the city folk causally dismiss the inbred deplorables who "cling to their guns and bibles."

But I want to step beyond this bickering banter and examine why people on each side think so differently. I'd like to think it might stimulate some conversation between the two sides, but I'm not that naive. People caught up in the big city bustle are simply too busy to listen to a peasant like me, precisely because I lack the pedigree that signals to them the need to pay attention.

But it would be foolish not to listen...

How our benevolent masters are using global surveillance to take control of humanity.

Let's read into this. I know "we shouldn't read into this too much" is a common refrain, but just this once, let's make an exception. While the world is distracted with dog 'n' pony shows, kangaroo courts and massive riots all around the world, what is the scheming global cabal actually up to? Let's take a look.

This week the World Health Organization released a statement with current updates about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is an illumanitive exposition, full of keen insights and global strategies that are intented to keep humanity safe from the invisible enemy, forever. This is a sample of their high-level thinking:

"Given the general public's perception that the pandemic may be over... the Committee acknowledged that any risk communication and community engagement effort should hinge on consistent and synchronized political will, policies, and a concert of community influencers to shift the course of risk perception."

The Committee unanimously agreed that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over and that the current situation still meets all the criteria of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Citing data that indicate cases COVID-19 have increased by 30% in just the last two weeks, the WHO laments the lifting of "public health and social measures" (PHSM) such as masking. So what's the world to do?

All of this translates to greater pressures on health systems, which in turn bolsters their responsibility to take decisive action and further exercise their emergency powers in an effort to manipulate human behavior and control the global population—because we're all in this together!

Let's not take this out of context. Consider this simple line of logic:

Our elections are F*ING rigged! Sorry there wasn’t more of a build up for that emotional outburst. I realize that's not new news for most of you—but what if I were to tell you that the degree and depth of electoral corruption exceeded your wildest imagination? What if I told you that Communists have been running on the Democrat ticket, stealing elections, and "fundamentally transforming" America for longer than most of us have been alive?

That was the article I was writing. I will expound upon those points in the podcast, but in order to keep this succinct and stay on schedule, I'm going to simply outline the points here:

  • Yesterday someone share the documentary American History of Voter Fraud with me. It was a shocking eye-opener that exposed old black and white news footage of bewildered newscasters stunned that big blue cities had inexplicably stopped counting and reporting their votes, until hours later, or even the next day, they suddenly revealed a unimaginable swing in the tally that ultimately led to a historic victory for Democrats.
  • Notably, this happened early in the career of Lyndon B. Johnson, who ascended to the presidency after the mysterious assassination of JFK. According to historians, LBJ was said to ushered in the Great Society and his presidency "marked the peak of liberalism" in America. Democratic Socialists praised the fact that he "transformed almost every facet of the American way of life" and fundamentally altered the relationship between citizens and the state. Among other things, he championed the Civil Rights Act, institutionalized the welfare state, and legitimized the victim mentality—and swooned a lot of voters in the process.
  • The documentary showed Democrats magically winning upset victories in deep blue precincts over and over and over again. It showed interviews of high ranking politicians challenging the obvious and outright fraud. It showed interviews of felons openly confessing to the fraud—and all of this sounded so strikingly similar to the 2020 election, I was utterly blown away. How could this have been happening for so long?
  • Of course we are told that only a fool would question the outcome of elections, and some states are trying to make it illegal to do so. In fact, Democrats are making a broader push to make it illegal for anyone to spread any "false election information" that would lead people to question or challenge the state sanctioned results. Under this proposed legislation, anyone caught spreading such misinformation would be subject to penalties and imprisonment. Not coincidentally, the RAND Corporation has been figuring out how to track, quantify, and fight against this threat to democracy since December 2019.

Now about those midterms!

Recent public announcements stir grave concern that a nuclear war may be imminent.

The threat is real. Yesterday NYC issued a Public Service Announcement telling New Yorkers what to do in the case of a nuclear attack. While stating there was no specific reason for concern, they offer these comforting words: “As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it is important that New Yorkers know we are preparing for any imminent threats and are providing them with the resources they need to stay safe and informed.”

What is one to do in the case of a nuclear strike?

  1. Get inside.
  2. Stay inside.
  3. Stay tuned.

Listen to the media. They'll message your phone.

Do not go outside until they say that it's safe. Bonkers. Keep in mind this comes on the heels of months of mental seeding, as the media has spun up the threat that the Evil Russian Tyrant was preparing to nuke us all. More recently, some reasonably credible analysts have made the bold claim that nuclear war is 100% guaranteed. Others have pointed to the recent G7 meeting that authorized sending hundreds of thousands of NATO troops and heavy military equipment into Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, as well as the July 5th acceptance of Sweden and Finland into the NATO alliance.

Whether it is intentional or not, or whether it is defensive or not, all of this is highly provoking to Russia. Perhaps most alarming, on June 27 the NATO Secretary General says that peace talks are no longer on the table, and told the world we are now faced with "confrontation instead of dialogue." Hence the boosting of troops from 40,000 to 300,000 and having them train on "local terrain" with NATO's new "pre-positioned" stockpile of high-speed U.S. military equipment, which includes but is not limited to:

  • Over 700 Switchblade Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems
  • 121 Phoenix Ghost Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems
  • Puma Unmanned Aerial Systems
  • Unmanned Coastal Defense Vessels
  • Laser-guided rocket systems
  • Hundreds of Armored High Mobility Multipurpose Vehicles
  • Over 50 millions rounds of munitions, rocket launchers, and heavy artillery
  • Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear protective equipment

Now, how would you feel if an enemy parked all of that on your back porch? Thus, the "threat" of nuclear war is very real. That said, some pundits are pointing out that perhaps this is all just another ploy to keep people scared out of their wits, glued to the tube, and hanging on every word spilling out of the government propaganda machine.

How politicians are preying upon the unsuspecting masses using tactics straight out of the Communist Manifesto.

You know it's coming.

"Seeing the failures and fault lines in the cruel light of day cast by the corona crisis may compel us to act faster by replacing failed ideas, institutions, processes and rules with new ones better suited to current and future needs. This is the essence of the Great Reset." -Klaus Schwab, author of COVID-19: The Great Reset

Let's just break that down a bit:

  • The failed ideas he is referring to include capitalism, personal property, and basic human rights. These ideas stand in the way of the progressive agenda, which you know is actually regressive in nature. This is a frontal assault on conservative values and cultural heritage, as it seeks to reconstitute humanity as global citizens who are tagged, tracked, and controlled like animals.
  • The failed institutions he is referring to is the old world order in its entirety. But, more specifically he is speaking of replacing failed nation-states, private medical practices, the existing financial system, the education system, etc. In the end, the communists intend to remake them all. That’s their objective.
  • The failed processes he is referring to include the idea that individuals should be able to vote on the rules by electing legislative representatives through an electoral college, among other things. It also includes the replacing the existing process of who controls what, wherein the government takes control of all property and means of production in order to ensure equitable distribution.
  • The failed rules he is referring to are all the unwoke antiquated concepts like constitutional rights, national sovereignty, medical rules like the Nuremberg code, and toothless environmental laws that are too lax to stop humanity from destroying the planet. Ultimately, any rules that are not centrally devised and controlled socialist rules will need to be replaced.

Now then, does any of this sound familiar?

How about this quote from the Communist Manifesto:

"The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions." -Karl Marx & Friedrich Engles, The Communist Manifesto

The forcible overthrow of all existing conditions—got it.

Sounds like a Great Reset, right?

Marx was a genius in his own right. He figured out how to use language with a "hidden, higher meaning" to convince the useful idiots they were fighting for justice and equality, when in reality, they were simply consolidating power in the hands of a few power hungry elites. By using the peasants to do their bidding, communists try to come off as the champion of the little guy, all while conditioning them into servitude.

And it works. Why? Because a certain percentage of the human population is content to be slaves. They appreciate the protection and the provisions. They're given food and shelter, and all they have to do is do what they're told. Then they are praised for being good humans, and that means they won't have to suffer at the hands of their masters (get beaten like slaves). It's husbandry, pure and simple.

Taking a positive approach to serious issues in our globally connected world.

We are not alone. As you know, that statement can be interpreted many different ways. As in, we are not alone in the universe, we are not alone in faith, we are not alone in how we feel, we are not alone in our political concerns, or we are not alone in the world. Obviously context matters, so today, when I say "we are not alone" what I'm referring to is our interconnected world.

I read a book recently titled Our Global Neighborhood, that pitches "a convincing path towards a better world." It has all the hallmarks of a classic intellectual read: It was published by Oxford University Press, endorsed by Nelson Mandela, and chock full of inspiring ideas that were destined to take root in the fertile soil of aspiring young minds.

The book was published in 1995. Do you remember the world in 1995? Imagine being in college, perhaps in a master's or doctoral program at an Ivory Institution. In your mid-twenties your felt on top of the world, like your altruistic intent could conquer anything, eradicate hunger and poverty, end violence and usher in an era of world peace. All you needed was a plan and a team to build the dream. Twenty-five ambitious years later, you've nearly pulled it off.

The first chapter of Our Global Neighborhood is titled "The Concept of Global Governance", which opens with globalization and the need for a vision, saunters through social and environmental changes, discusses agents of change in civil society, and concludes with Enlightened Leadership.

Here's the last paragraph of the first chapter:

"The challenges facing the world today are vastly more complicated than those that confronted the delegates in San Francisco. They demand co-operative efforts to put in place a system of global governance better suited to present circumstances--a system informed by an understanding of the important transformations of the past half-century and guided by enlightened leadership."

World leaders met in San Francisco in 1945 to sign the United Nations Charter, "a document expressing the universal hope that a new era in international behavior and governance was about to begin." Thus, just like that, a bunch of communists partnered with the Royal Crown and liberal democrats to create a new global order that came complete with an international court that enforce international law with international peace keeping troops.

That's a crude crash course in history, but it's true just the same.

Let's start with the strange. There is something critically important happening behind the scenes in Camp Biden. It will absolutely affect every American, and most will never have seen it coming. It's not going to be fun and We The People are going to feel the pain. It's all part of this "incredible transition" —but before we get into the serious, let's start with the strange:

  • The National Education Association is continuing their assault on our children, further perverting reality by replacing the word "mother" with the term "birthing parent"—because evidentially, dads can have babies too.
  • Meanwhile, the President has been caught wiring sending more money ($75K) to his derelict son, who was once again caught on camera smoking crack while he was naked—but the White House doesn't feel inclined to comment on that.
  • And, as predicted, people in 39 counties throughout Oregon and Washington are now being told to mask up when they are in public, even if they are vaccinated and boosted, because COVID-19 has mutated and is running rampant—and the since the masks worked so well last time, why not use them again?

It seems strange doesn't it? That just yesterday we were talking about the process of normalization, and how the government uses this process to institute tyrannical rule? Now when communities are told they are at "high risk" for a virus that still has over a 99% survival rate, they immediately lose their right to breathe freely. Or, more accurately, people forfeit this basic human right for the illusion of safety.

All that said, and setting it aside, let's get real practical.

Total global control requires direct currency control. Along with controlling the flow of information, the means of production and the amount of consumption, they need to control your money. How might they do that?

Brace yourself. It's coming. The next wave is on the way. It won't be long before COVID strikes again!

Of course, there aren't a lot of people talking about that just yet. Not many people realize that the number of daily cases is now over 5X higher than the exact same time last year, or that the average number of deaths per day has jumped from 197 to 312 in the last twelve months.

Another way to look at this is to realize that last 4th of July there were 735,549 people infected with covid, and this 4th of July there were 3,356,278 people infected with covid. You don't have to dork out on math to catch the fact that this is a shocking increase that would have easily consumed the headlines and prompted calls for good humans to mask-up, get tested, steer clear of large crowds, and cancel social events... and yet now there's hardly a peep in the media.

That's because the entire shamdemic was never about covid. It was never about keeping people safe. From its seedy start in a government funded laboratory, to the peak hysteria and panic that normalized medical tyranny, COVID-19 has been about one thing: Control. Even now, as the media ignores the explosion in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among vaccinated, fresh research indicates that we are still at least two years away from the end of the pandemic.

That would imply they are not done using this tool to control the masses.

Though it's tempting to believe otherwise, the pandemic is not over. We are simply in a lull of propaganda, as politicians temporarily restrain their authoritarian impulses just long enough to allow the public to adjust and forget about the two years of abuse we've just endured. That's how normalization works. It is a tried and true method of tyrants, and make no mistake, they know exactly what they are doing.

Society has been conditioned to believe that violence is never the answer, but history and nature tell a different story.

Yesterday was Independence Day, and I started writing an article about why freedom is important. Building off a recent poll that shows 2 out of 3 people do not know why Americans declared their independence from the crown, I became frustrated by the insanity of having to even address the issue — how could we have come to this? How could Americans not know why we celebrate the 4th of July?

It struck a melancholy note in me and rather than dwell on the matter, I decided to lift the mood by gathering with friends to reflect on the state of life in general. Sipping whiskey, strumming guitars out by the pool, enjoying fellowship under the pines, rolling into town to feast on BBQ chicken, burgers and blue ribbon beers, savoring the world's best sweet mustard sauce, homemade salsa and guac, watching the kids play with explosives, laughing and having fun, talking about goats, guns, and plans for the future... all of this was good for the soul.

This is the America I know and love. People respect the stars and bars. We respect each other. It's a free country. Our flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away. I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free—and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me—and I'll gladly stand up, next to you, and defend her still today, 'cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless the USA! I am proud to be an American, and so are my family and friends, and so are you, my friends reading this letter and those in the listening audience.

We love our country, and for the most part, we like it just the way that it is. Sure, we can fix some things—but then again, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Constitution of the United States was established to secure the blessings of liberty for future generations, and it's worked remarkably, undeniably well. Look at the prosperity, the innovation, the charity, the inspiration that America has brought into the world. Are we wrong to feel like we are the greatest nation on earth? The proof is in the pudding, isn’t it? It isn’t bragging if it's true, right?

I believe we can say those things and speak about American exceptionalism without diminishing other countries. In fact, I believe plenty of people feel that very same way about their own hometowns, tucked into every nook and cranny and corner of the earth. People love their communities, their hamlets, their villages and cities. Or they don't, and they leave. How many people have migrated to America because they believed in the American Dream? Are we not known as the melting pot of the world? The point is this: We should be proud to be Americans, just as others should be proud patriots of their own homeland, because it's the most natural thing in the world.

But something is wrong.

I kid you not, liberals are now blasting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "Black White Supremacist". The lunacy at this point is nearly unfathomable. But, as hilarious as it seems, this level of psychosis is really no laughing matter. While it's tempting to dismiss such ridiculous assertions as petty annoyance, the bigger issue is that people actually believe it—and that's a HUGE problem.

Keep in mind, this degree of insanity is not confined to only one issue, nor is it only cropping up in commentary and pop culture. This psychosis, this utter disconnect from reality, this progressive mental disease has infected a great number of politicians. Though these people are completely unhinged, they have their own government websites and they wield a great deal of influence over our everyday lives.

Which brings me to the issue of the day. The hot news is that the Supreme Court made a decision to restrict the EPA's authority to implement their radical climate agenda without congressional oversight. Democrats are flipping out in a predictable fashion, trumpeting their insanity with statements like this:

"Fascists SCOTUS guts the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions [and] fight climate change."

Examining the influence of collective insanity in the current political climate. What's at stake? When a significant portion of society collectively rejects reality, what happens? I'm speaking of the famed "mass formation psychosis" that seems to have gripped the masses. Plenty of people see it--in fact, most of the people I talk to agree that something strange is going on.

Any honest evaluation of humanity must acknowledge the fact that people are crazy. Not just a few people. Not just some people. A lot of people are crazy, and if we're honest with ourselves, we must admit we are probably all a little crazy from time to time. After all, going crazy is glorified in music and pop culture. It's seen as an escape from inhibition. It's acceptable to cut-loose, let-down, and just be a human from time to time. But this is different.

If acting a little crazy is normal behavior, there still has to be a line somewhere that indicates when a person is a little too crazy, like off-their-rocker crazy, lock them up crazy, or just good old fashioned bat-shit crazy. I suggest that this kind of crazy, the bad kind of crazy, the we should be concerned kind of crazy, the dangerous kind of crazy, has a distinguishing behavioral trait. People who are this kind of crazy reject reality in exchange for their own delusions.

While we all get a little crazy sometimes, we ultimately come back to reality and engage life in a somewhat "normal" fashion. But the real crazies, they never make it back. Sometimes it's drugs, sometimes it's mental collapse, and sometimes people are just born that way--but sometimes, sometimes, it's due to emotional assault, covert conditioning, and psychological warfare.

Let's compare and contrast. Whenever  we're faced with a decision that offers multiple options and various  ways to move forward, it's always wise to take the time to weigh out the  pros and cons of different potentialities. (I just like that word, BTW)

Other times we need to just flip a coin and take action.

But,  when it comes to evaluating different perspectives and news sources,  the preferred approach is to compare and contrast the different stories,  seeking out discrepancies and diametrically opposed opinions that might  offer some insight into the truth that's lurking somewhere in between  the extremes.

On that note, let's take a look at the cover stories of today, moving from Left to Right:

You probably thought I was joking. In yesterday's podcast Foxes in the Hen House, I mocked the Left for trotting out Hillary Clinton as if she was the only one who could save the Democrats from getting annihilated in the midterm elections. The article I referenced made no indication of her actually running, but my opening line was "Vote for Hillary!" -- and even though I was being sarcastic, one day later we find this:

CNN ANALYSIS: The whispers of Hillary Clinton 2024 have started

Now, I'm not inclined to brag, or even to give it a second thought, but for those who didn't catch that episode, I offer this summary:

“Friends, we are not up against Hillary Clinton. We're not up against the global cabal, the progressive agenda, the deep state or the democrat party. What we are up against, is the insanity of it all. We are up against the useful idiots who buy the lies. We are up against those who still trust the media, who believe the government wants to protect them, who think that this "incredible transition" is good for the economy and Joe Biden was the most popular president ever elected. These are the people who are still listening to Hillary Clinton." (emphasis added)

And make no mistake, there are millions of them out there. While the Right gloats over their perceived moral victories, the Left continues to out maneuver them in the long game. Contrary to popular belief, Supreme Court decisions in favor of conservative ideals, just before midterm elections, will benefit Democrats far more than it will benefit Republicans. There is every reason to believe that this is little more than political theater, a ploy to provoke the Leftist base, pump up support, and prompt significant policy changes, made in haste, before the Right can regain control.

But let’s take a step back and think about the other trajectories that have come to bare in this moment. Whatever happened to COVID-19? Whatever happened to Monkeypox? Whatever happened to food shortages, inflation, and pain at the pump? Whatever happened to Putin's price hike and the heroic Ukrainians defeating the Russian tyrants? Whatever happened to the Uvalde police obstructing the investigation into their peculiar and abject failure to protect innocent lives?

Vote for Hillary! /sarc

According to The Hill, Hillary Clinton can rescue Democrats in the midterms, because "there's only one Hillary Clinton." They go on to build her up by stating:

"Unlike most Democrats at a loss for a midterms message, Clinton knows how to deal with the far right’s bullying."

The idea that most Democrats are at a loss for a message right now is absurd, and the idea that Clinton is "exactly the right person to put steel in the Democrats' spine" is laughable. Unfortunately, the fact that there are people who cannot see through the insanity of trotting out Hillary Clinton as if she is a pillar of virtue and strength only attests to the degree of stupidity and social conditioning that is plaguing our nation. This does not bode well for the future of America.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote--meaning more Americans voted for her than voted for Donald Trump. There are many people who have been convinced that her losing was not fair. In fact, they believe she only lost because Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election from the Left's chosen heiress. This is the start of MAGA destroying democracy.

Suspending all judgement, setting aside the desire to call out the lies and set the record straight, I think it would be wise to "wear" this perspective for a moment (temporarily accepting the lunacy) in order to understand why championing Hillary Clinton is once again front page news. Think in terms of narrative, psychological conditioning, and the malleable human mind. Consider the messaging being pushed by Clinton and threaded throughout the article:

Right-wingers on the Supreme Court rescinding the constitutional right to abortion "is incredibly dangerous and it is not just about a woman’s right to choose. It is about much more than that,” Clinton told CBS News ...“Any American who says, ‘Look, I’m not a woman, this doesn’t affect me. I’m not Black, that doesn’t affect me. I’m not gay, that doesn’t affect me’ — once you allow this kind of extreme power to take hold, you have no idea who they will come for next.”

Her messaging aims to unite the base by stoking fear: Who will they come for next?!

Here's the little secret: No one cares. Sure, they may care right now. It might currently feel like the most important thing that's ever happened--ever. But, in a day or two, in a week or two, in a month or two, nobody really cares. That's just the cold hard truth.

Today the headlines are lit up about the "historic news" that the Supreme Court has overturned the Roe v. Wade decision that has long been the foundation of abortion rights. (I so badly want to put quotations around abortion rights, on account of the insanity of the assertion, but I will refrain.) Seeing people leaping and weeping with joy, or doubled over clenching fists of rage, illustrates just how illogical this whole debate has become.

Get your popcorn, because this emotionally triggering event was designed for one purpose and one purpose only: Politics. So spectacular will be the Night of Rage and the Summer of Rage that follows, conservatives will soon feel the putrid wrath of unhinged Leftist mobs. Everything up to this point has merely been a primer, the opening act for what's to come.

But nobody really cares about abortion. Nobody would be sitting around the dinner table talking about it, unless they wanted us to. It wouldn't come up in conversation any more often than say, a random stranger's vaccination status. The few people that are personally impacted by the issue, for whatever personal reason, would naturally make their own personal decision, within their own personal sphere of influence, after having their own personal conversations.

Beyond that, nobody cares. Why would they? How would they even know? What's the point in caring? Ahhhh... now that question strikes a nerve, does it not?

Do not be alarmed. President Biden stood in front of news cameras yesterday and said this:

"We need more money to plan for the second pandemic."

Intelligent minds immediately began to insinuate this next pandemic may interfere with the upcoming election--both the midterms and 2024. Those in the know point to the fact that Dr. Fauci, just weeks ago, predicted the next pandemic would hit in the fall, just in time to prompt another wave of mail-in voting and ballot harvesting that might serve as a liberal lifeboat in the coming red wave.

As the shell-shocked woke mob tries to reconcile this impending threat with the imploding theory that their masks and experimental vaxx will keep them safe, all The Science now says that their third and fourth boosters won't do a damn thing to protect them from the latest most heavily mutated Variant Of Concern. That's of course why the government needs more money.

It's to produce new vaccines, newer than the current new vaccines that still have no long term studies, even as the record of adverse reactions, hospitalizations, and deaths for the jab continue to exponentially explode. Here are the latest numbers from the government's own database (which are known to be heavily under reported):

It's summer time! Now that summer has officially arrived, the 24/7 cycle of news propaganda seems to have hit cruise control. People aren't in the house as much, which means they are not spending as much time in front of their televisions, and by extension, that means that the endless barrage of propaganda will have a lesser degree of impact.

No doubt this feels like a missed opportunity to the global cabal.

When I hear of effort to pump high-speed internet into every hut and home on the planet, I think of psychological warfare. It sounds nice, there are certainly benefits, but who really benefits the most? What has happened to the world, particularly in the departments of mental health and political stability, since the advent of the information age? Doesn't it feel like a downward spiral? More people are depressed, more countries are at war, there is greater inequality, greater civil strife, and now, the endless threat of pandemics and attacks for the invisible enemy.

The headlines today lack any punch. Biden promises gas tax relief for three months, while continuing to aggressively regulate and insult the oil industry. The J6 show trials continue to explore ways to convince America that Trump is evil incarnate by trotting out turncoat Republicans seeking their moment of fame. Ukrainian President Zelinsky meets with comedian Ben Stiller while his troops get destroyed on the front lines.

What else? Oh yeah, the Supreme Court is going to overturn Roe v. Wade, liberals are openly calling for riots, police with riot gear and assault rifles stood in the hall for almost an hour while a lunatic murdered innocent children in Texas, so Republicans are going to compromise on gun control, the economy is in the tank, the housing market is about to collapse, flights are getting cancelled due to a lack of pilots, the CDC recommends jabbing young children with experimental vaccinations, monkeypox continues to spread inexplicably, and now Polio is making a comeback.

I'm sure there's more, but this is all smoke and mirrors.

Welcome to America! The most advanced Banana Republic on the planet. After spending a couple days up in the fluff of philosophical clouds, today's podcast is bringing the conversation back down to the ground. There are certainly practical implications at the intersection of politics and philosophy, and pointing out how each side believes they hold the moral high ground is pertinent to properly understanding the complexity of our situation, but all that can be set aside as we try to wrap our minds around the utter absurdity that continues to assault our commonsense.

On tap today we find captured Americans may be facing the death penalty in a Ukrainian kangaroo court, while the country's Ministry of Justice announced on Facebook they would be seizing and transferring the assets, money, and property of their political opposition to the state, as the Zelensky administration passes new laws to purge the country of its cultural heritage and historical Russian roots.

This U.S. backed pillar of democracy, in their brutal and righteous fight against the great Russian Tyrant, is accelerating progress and advancing the culture war by nationalizing the media into a singular information platform of "strategic communication," invoking martial law to ban "any activity" of political opposition parties, outlawing any Russian books, movies, and music, as well as deeming it illegal to have any sort of pro-Russian perspective.

This is democracy at it's finest. A comedian TV star, who played the role of a comedian turned prime minister, was literally elected as prime minister shortly after the season ended. This handsome, charismatic national heartthrob easily won the hearts and minds of the Ukrainian people, sweeping them off their feet with promises laid out in the Plan of Recovery and Modernization of Ukraine, which will restore and rebuild Ukraine "with the help of Western partners" after they defeat the Russian evildoers.

As I was saying:

"Both will believe that God has their back. Both will call for God's favor and grace. Both will think: "If God is for us, who can stand against us?" Both sides will battle believing they are right. But at the end of the day, there is only one way to find out."

The point I was making in Ep. 139 - On God & The Global Cabal was that everyone thinks God is on their side. Even the atheists, who ostensibly don't believe in God, believe that God is on their side in the sense that they assume their opponents are placing their faith in a fairy tale, and therefore, they assume an intellectual superiority over their perceived adversaries--which is an advantage conferred by other people's belief in God.

This morning we find the following headline and quote (emphasis added):

Mike Pence and the Christian Conflict on January 6 -- How right and left get Pence wrong.

"But when a mob howled for an American Barabbas, Mike Pence said no. He relinquished power, saved our nation from a constitutional crisis, and defeated a Christian insurrection. He did his job when his job was hard, and our nation should be grateful for his stand."

In his Good Faith podcast, the author David French goes on to opine on the spiritual dimensions of January 6th and present a leftist perspective on why Pence's actions were "obviously legally and biblically correct," at least according to Never Trump Christians like himself.

Don't forget, he is addressing the 72% of Democrats who believe in God, and his words imply that as long as your faith is "Good Faith," then you can be Christian and still be a "Good Human" -- so long as you reject traditional conservative values like racism, bigotry, and misogyny, and align with the progressive agenda.

How does God impact our views? That is a complex question, and the honest answer is that it depends. First, it depends on whether or not one believes in God. Second, it depends on what God one believes in. Then it depends on what one believes about God, such as God's plans, God's degree of intervention, or whether or not God answers prayers, for example—and you might be shocked at the disparities.

--

Now let's turn to politics. This contemplation was stirred up by a recent Gallup poll that claims belief in God has dipped to a new low---though the vast majority of people (81%) still believe in God. Not surprisingly, young liberals are least likely to believe in God, even though according to the poll 72% of Democrats still believe in God.

That means that even though our country is bitterly divided on issues like the LGBTQ+ agenda, abortion, gun rights, and the Juneteenth holiday (just to name a few), in theory, nearly three-quarters of the country should be able to find common ground in God. But let's set that aside...

Are they joking? Democrat senators say they will "strongly support" President Biden in the 2024 election, with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) arguing that the President is "doing well, given the enormous challenges he faces on high inflation and the war in Ukraine."

According to Durbin, Biden is performing "at the highest levels," which aligns with White House press secretary Jean-Peirre's recent statement that she "can't even keep up with him" -- and more importantly, that nobody should even be asking about stumbling bumbling Biden's age or stamina.

Think about that. Nobody should be questioning the vitality of a senile old sock-puppet, who's cognitive decline is obvious to everyone except his liberal media lapdogs. This absurd admonition comes even as former White House stenographer Mike McCormick, who spent six years at Biden's side, openly speculates that Biden has suffered a 50% decline in his cognitive abilities.

It is impossible to think that senior democrats actually believe that Biden is fit for duty, or that he somehow represents the best that the Left has to offer when it comes to leading our country through tumultuous times. Not only is Biden the epitome of a rich, old, white guy, and a career politician with a documented history of corruption, he is a gaffe laden senior citizen who will turn 82 years old prior to the start of his second term -- and 86 years old at the end of it!

The sad truth is, the leader of the free world is being mocked around the globe.

Again, let that sink in, because this is not a joke. As of today, Democrat leadership continues to float the notion that Biden alone can beat Donald Trump in the 2024 election, in what some in the media are hyping up as a "death match:”

Let's circle back. Consider this list of recent articles from the month of June:

  • 136 - Is This the Start of Civil War?
  • 135 - The Importance of Believing Impossible Things
  • 134 - How They Are Re-Writing History
  • 133 - You Are Probably Not Expecting This
  • 132 - Examining Some Peculiar Contradictions
  • 131 - When the Mob Rules the World
  • 130 - Will they try to disarm Americans before the midterm elections?
  • 129 - An Intelligent Perspective On Gun Control
  • 128 - Sowing the Seeds of Insanity
  • 127 - Predictable Patterns of Disaster

Today I want to thread this altogether with some macro-level analysis, simplifying the complexity of interrelated dynamics and produce a practical plan of action that will benefit us all. Yes, the world appears to be going to hell-in-a-handbasket. Yes, the chaos seems to be compounding. Yes, it feels as if we are accelerating from bad to worse. All of this is true, and it represents an accurate, logical assessment of current circumstance. We are under assault.

What are we going to to about it? First, we must identify the enemy.

Who's the enemy? Those who seek to control, manipulate, and enslave humanity are the enemy.

Second, we must frame perspective through the lens of psychological warfare.

Why psyops? Because that is the only way they can take over the world.

What starts a war? I suppose it could be anything really. It could be something as silly as an insult that triggers a violent emotional reaction among military leaders. It could be something as innocuous as a misunderstanding or misreading of intent. Or, it could be something tripe and contrived, a scenario wholly concocted for the purpose of starting a war--it could be intentional and orchestrated.

When a war first begins, few people are usually in on the reasons why it started. Common folk are simply going about their business when all hell breaks loose. What's going on here? Hey, wait a minute, I didn't sign up for this! I don't want to fight to the death over this -- I don't want to fight at all! But nevertheless, once the battle's begun, once the bomb’s dropped, once the fists start to fly or the first shots ring out, denying the situation could only lead to death or defeat.

Thus, it is absolutely imperative to realize when one is caught up in a war, even if, or perhaps especially if, it is not a war of one's choosing.

You may be wondering how this relates to current events, or it may be self-explanatory. Regardless, the provocative question arises: Are we at war? We are certainly in the midst of heated conflict, and any reasonable person must realize that culture wars are tearing our country apart:

  • America’s culture wars aren’t new — and don’t have predictable endings
  • These 7 culture wars dominated 2021 and will haunt the years ahead
  • The culture wars of the past several decades are intensifying
  • How the ‘Culture War’ Could Break Democracy

But are we at war war?

“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Cruising the news this morning we find that COVID hospitalizations and deaths are surging among the vaccinated (and have been);

...the Jan. 6 prime time show trial continues to brainwash the American people, altering evidence and lying about what happened (truth here);

...Russian is winning the war in Ukraine and is now set to move troops into Nicaragua;

...the stock and housing markets are set for an epic crash;

...a Google engineer breached confidentiality and went public with the claim that Artificial Intelligence is now sentient'

and then there is this: At least 100 killed in Burkina Faso attack over weekend

"Armed men killed at least 100 civilians in a rural district of northern Burkina Faso over the weekend, a local and a security source said on Monday."

--cue the record scratch--

Where in the heck is Burkina Faso, and why in the world is this headline news?

Remember, there is more going on in any given moment than anyone of us can wrap our heads around--a fact long exploited by the elite evildoers who orchestrate the dog and pony show distractions that keep the peasants mesmerized while they pillage the planet. That is why, of all the exciting things going on in the world, I find the Burkina Faso story most fascinating.

The midterms are going to be ugly. Do not expect this to be a free and fair election. Instead, expect more of the same sort of shenanigans and fraud that were evidenced in 2000 Mules. They not only believe that they got away with it, and therefore they can do it again, but they now believe they can rewrite history in such a way as to criminalize anyone who questions the blatant and obvious corruption. That’s the big take away here.

Let’s pick this propaganda apart one piece at a time:

  • The headline: “Jan. 6 hearing produces clear vision of America's extremist underbelly”… Yes, the hearing was a production. Let’s not forget they brought in the media mastermind James Goldston to orchestrate the event, leveraging his master storytelling skills to rewrite history in broad daylight. They wanted to make it a blockbuster production because they needed Americans to pay attention—to make sure we learn our lessons.

This paragraph from Ep. 130 - Will they try to disarm Americans before the midterm elections? sums it up nicely:

“[T]he story imparts important political lessons, lessons about things that should never happen again. Never again should Americans question the declared outcome of national elections. Never again should they approach the political elite and demand accountability and answers. Never again shall the peasants challenge their masters.”

What did the hearing produce? It produced a “clear vision of America’s extremist underbelly.” Note that this language ties together all the murmuring about all the white extremists that are supposedly rampaging around the country. From the DHS.gov website we find publications on “US Violent White Supremacist Extremists,” and in the media we see headlines like these:

  • White supremacists pose increased threat in coming months, Homeland Security warns
  • How can we reach young men like the Buffalo shooter before they embrace white supremacy and commit acts of violence?
  • White supremacists are riling up thousands on social media
  • Violent white supremacists 'most persistent and lethal threat' in US: DHS
  • CONFRONTING VIOLENT WHITE SUPREMACY: EXAMINING THE RISE

OF MILITIA EXTREMISM

And let’s not forget President Biden’s recent remarks:

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history.”

Are you ready for the surprise? In politics, the "October Surprise" if often a sneaky news leak, an unexpected announcement, or some other advantageous political ploy deployed by one side to harm the other. According to the Smithsonian the term was coined by a 1980's political operative in the Reagan campaign, but it has since been appropriated by the media to describe any unexpected political disaster in the twilight hours of a campaign -- when there isn't enough time for the other side to respond before the election.

If we were to couch speculation in that precedent, we might expect something largely "unexpected" to occur in the next three months. Even though this November is not a presidential election, it will be a midterm referendum on the utter failures of our political class. It may even be a reckoning, but I for one am not getting my hopes up.

As primary races continue to show, the public attitude toward uber progressive policies is beginning to sour. When liberals start getting shellacked in California, you know the tide is shifting. However, it would be unwise to assume that the puppet masters failed to anticipate this turn in sentiment. Beyond stimulating endless outrage over trigger issues like abortion and gun control, one might expect The Powers That Be already have a plan in place to shore up their losses, maintain their power, and secure the upcoming election.

That's why we should expect an October surprise -- or many surprises for that matter.

Scanning the headlines today, there are some very peculiar contradictions concerning the MONKEY POX:

  • The left-leaning DrudgeReport indicates that there are now 300 cases of monkeypox in the United States, and expresses concern that the virus is silently spreading because people are not testing for it—and because there are rumors that the virus is now airborne.
  • The right-leaning FoxNews confirms that the CDC has raised the monkeypox alert to Level 2, and is once again recommending people wear masks when they travel. They report that as of June 3rd, there are only 21 confirmed cases of monkeypox, but also claim the virus is likely spreading undetected as an STD.
  • As of Wednesday, June 7, 2022, the CDC.gov website reports there are a total of 35 confirmed cases spread throughout 15 different states. If the case count jumped from 21 confirmed to 35 confirmed cases, that would be a 66% increase in the number of infections in less than a week, spreading through all corners of the country, even though the CDC still maintains it only spreads through close contact, like an STD.

What’s the real story with monkeypox? Is it just another head-fake headline, or is this something people should worry about? How did the virus suddenly and very rapidly spread around the globe if it’s only spread via close contact? How did the virus evolve to become airborne, and could this have anything to do with restricted research being conducted by government agencies?

Here are a few more questions I have about monkeypox:

  1. Why was the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommending pre-exposure prophylaxis with a “replication-competent live virus” vaccine for orthopoxviruses in 2015, when the eradication of smallpox was achieved in 1980?
  2. Could these vaccines, which were labeled ACAM2000 and known to have severe side effects, have been “leaky vaccines” that lead to viral shedding? Or is it possible that a modified virus could have somehow escaped the lab because they were “increasingly being used” in a wide range of biomedical research?
  3. In September 2019, the FDA approved yet another new vaccine for smallpox and monkeypox (JYNNEOS), which was shown to have fewerSevere Adverse Reactions than ACAM2000—even though the CDC documented more than 20 clinical studies showing adverse reactions. How is this justified?

Do you realize what’s at stake? As you know, the election cycle is heating up, and today there are a few interesting headlines that caused me to pause and raise a brow:

  • California is about to experience a political earthquake
  • Liberal voters may rebuke the Left in primaries
  • A political earthquake from Australia's elections

Before we get excited about the potential for a great liberal awakening, it would be wise to remain skeptical of this supposed red shift in the headlines. With the elections coming, everything is about messaging and getting out the vote. This is not by accident, and though it may be a warning to deep pocket progressive backers, more than anything it sends a signal that they need to continue stirring up controversies like Roe v. Wade and gun control in order to keep democrats energized and engaged.

That said, the third article is a couple weeks old, dated May 23rd, and it uses the same "political earthquake" language, which I find fascinating. The article was posted on the Council on Foreign Relations website, which is an organ of the globalist cabal. This passage is of particular interest:

"Former prime minister Scott Morrison now leaves office having presided over electoral carnage for the Liberal Party in both the lower and upper houses. His party’s normally safe seats in the two major cities lie in ruins, its political support base hollowed out. In the wealthy suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne, the Liberals’ traditional strongholds were lost to talented, female independent candidates who capitalized on the prime minister’s unpopularity with women and his foot dragging on climate change and integrity in government. Unsurprisingly, these will be key issues driving the agenda of the new Labor team."

Now bounce back to the headlines about L.A. and San Fransisco, noting that the "normally safe seats in the two major cities" may soon lie in ruins. Many liberals are now concerned that Joe Biden will leave office "having presided over electoral carnage" in both chambers of congress. This is precisely why there are so many democrats calling for the end of the electoral college -- an issue now being attached to the Jan. 6 Committee hearings...

We are less than six months out from the November 8th midterm elections. Primary races are already underway, as candidates across the country are jockeying for public support and financial backing. Meanwhile, as Americans are being herded into holding pens for the two-party establishment, the media is eagerly gearing up for the greatest show on earth.

This year's midterm elections will not just define the future of our country, but they will likely redefine the very definition of Democracy itself. This is a necessary step in the fundamental transformation of our country, which is itself a prerequisite in the pedagogical implementation of the Great Reset.

Put simply, political theater is all part of the much larger plan.

Currently, the media is setting the stage for the upcoming show trials regarding the infamous January 6th insurrection--about which few people seem to care, given the context of astronomical inflation, bare shelves, endless mass shootings, and looming threat of nuclear war. But they intend to make Americans care, because the capital siege is a critical part of the story.

Why? Because the story imparts important political lessons, lessons about things that should never happen again. Never again should Americans question the declared outcome of national elections. Never again should they approach the political elite and demand accountability and answers. Never again shall the peasants challenge their masters.

To do so would be entirely undemocratic. >>>click here to finish the article.

Let's be clear: Guns are not violent. Go to any gun shop in the country, bring a chair and sit and watch those cold hard semi-automatic rifles for as long as you'd like, and you will never ever see one of those guns do anything violent. The guns would not move. They are inanimate objects, just like rocks, or swords, or automobiles.

Says the liberal gun control fanatic: "B, b, but they're designed to kill people!"

Says the calm and collected intellectual: "No, they are designed to protect people."

That would likely be the end of the conversation, as liberals seldom listen to the logical appeals long established by responsible gun owners. Instead, driven by a heightened emotional state, they double down on irrational assessments and sensational claims about mass shootings. They claim we need to take away the guns, because guns are the cause of gun violence.

To simple minded individuals, that's all that needs to be said. Gun violence. The word choice evokes a negative emotional response and attaches it to an inanimate object. It is a misnomer, a catchy and handcraft phrase pulled from the propagandist's playbook. When the media whips people into a frenzy about gun violence, the politicians step out, right on cue, calling for more gun control -- which is another misnomer that belies their true intent, total control.

Any discussion of school shootings or mass shootings or gang shootings or any other kind of violent shootings, must be framed by facts and statistical context. Intelligent evaluation only happens when one suspends emotional judgment to re-engage logical thinking. When emotionally charged, we are not thinking clearly. That's just part of being a human.

Yes, school shootings are a horrific atrocity. Yes, mass shootings are heinous acts of violence. No rational person would argue otherwise. Gun advocates, or those who adamantly defend the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms, are not ignoring the plague of violence that seems to have infected our society, nor are they in anyway advocating that it be allowed to continue unchecked.

Yes, we have a problem with school shootings. Yes, we need to deal with it immediately, before more innocent children die. Perhaps there we can establish some sort of common purpose, and put our heads together about how best to move forward, but we must do so in a clear minded fashion, with our eyes wide open.

We've been hacked. I have something important to say, but first let's have a look at the headlines: As another mass shooting leaves five people dead in Tulsa, progressive propaganda has grabbed for a higher gear to declare, "This is the price we pay to live in this kind of society." Noting that seeing news of one mass shooting after another (aka repetitive propaganda) produces a stress response, it also conveniently creates a sense of disturbed urgency and unhinged calls to "take away the guns" from law abiding citizens -- even as Joe Rogan is branded a 'moron' for pointing out the obvious fact that criminals are not going to give up their guns. After spending the last couple years trying to defund the police, decriminalize criminal behavior, and allowing violent woke mobs to run rampant across the country, liberal leaders are now taking another giant leap toward utter lawlessness: This year, Seattle police will no longer be investigating sexual assaults, stating that it is an "unattainable" expectation, given the lack of funding. Not to be outdone, Seattle's liberal neighbors to the north are now imposing the most aggressive gun laws yet, making it illegal to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada -- all while decriminalizing cocaine, meth, and opioids. As all of this is happening, the International Criminal Court is investigating possible crimes against humanity -- not for the experimental, emergency authorized, government imposed, genetic modifications (aka "covid vaccines") that have killed millions of perfectly healthy people around the globe, mind you -- this international authority is upset that Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte may have killed thousands of people during his "war on drugs." Far from fringe, this information comes from a top-of-page Special Report from one of the world's most trusted news networks. Now then, the insanity of it all should be readily apparent--except it's not. >>click to finish the article.

Fear spreads faster than disease. Beyond stating the obvious, these words were used by Dr. Ashish Jha to emphasize the takeaways from a January 2017 keynote presentation by Dr. Anthony Fauci -- the very same presentation wherein Fauci stated he was "extraordinarily confident" that the incoming Trump administration would suffer from a major pandemic "in the next few years." These were strangely prescient words, given that the COVID-19 pandemic began exactly three years later.

The full 45 minute presentation lays out exactly how Fauci, et al, worked to make viruses more transmissible, so that they could jump from animals to humans, using funding from military defense spending (BARDA) and the Bush era PEPFAR program. It was no surprise that Fauci had the highest praises for these lucrative arrangements, which allowed them to preemptively develop experimental vaccines and proactively establish the infrastructure needed for global surveillance of infectious disease.

He gave the aspiring students gathered for the Georgetown Global Health Initiative a crash course in epidemiology, outlining how the Obama administration had dealt with "more than their fair share" of pandemics. After discussing how nature was the "greatest bio terrorist," he zipped through lessons he and his cohorts had learned from H1N1, MERS, Chikungunya, Ebola, Zika, Bird Flu (H5N1), and the "silent pandemic" of AMR, or anti-microbial resistance. Dr. Fauci said that this series of pandemics were an "epidemiologist's delight" and, notably, how they "put the same pattern in play" for each of these global pandemics.

How many Americans were aware that all of this was happening? Not many, though there was some fuss in Congress when the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) discovered that the NIH had conducted research and laboratory experiments "that resulted in viruses with enhanced transmissibility in mammals," ... including humans.

Who knows what to think? As Americans gathered with family and friends to celebrate Memorial Day weekend there were at least 12 mass shootings across the country. While democrats continue to use the shocking headlines to demand more gun control, the media refuses to discuss the actual details of these incidents. Anyone want to guess the demographic profile of the perpetrators or the victims? (Details here)

Fresh calls to repeal the 2nd amendment are blaring throughout the liberal echo chamber, as progressives continue to blame republicans and the Supreme Court for "not protecting our children" in order to further advance their narrative:

It’d likely be a decades-long campaign, but it’s long past time to take disarming America seriously.

Friends, it would be a mistake to take this out of context. There has already been a decades-long campaign to disarm America. What we are witnessing now is merely a continuation of the infatuation with disarming dissent that is the final prerequisite for tyrants who seek to enslave innocent civilians. Totalitarians struggle to conquer a well-armed population, hence the 2nd Amendment.

But even that is not the bigger picture here.

Have you noticed that what people think about guns, and how people feel about guns, has changed over the years? This is simply an extension of the overall shift in sentiment regarding any number of emotionally charged societal issues. There is no denying that change is ultimately an inescapable and unstoppable force, but too many people failed to notice the overall direction and impact of the changes taking place.

On any given day, there's more going on than you can shake a stick at -- and today is certainly no exception to that favorite folksy idiom, so let's just jump right in and swim with the big fish in the mighty pool of propaganda:

  1. Police press conference in Uvalde leaves 'gaps and confusion' -- Almost 48 hours after cops stood outside for almost an hour and allowed Salvador Ramos to murder 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, parents and the press are furious about the gaps and contradictions concerning the horrific events of that fateful day.

Why did some cops enter the school to save their own kids, while other police were outside tasering parents who were desperately trying to get into the school to protect their children?

Allegedly a cop in the school said "yell if you need help," and when a little girl yelled for help, Ramos came over and shot her.

It was originally reported that a police officer had confronted Ramos before he entered the school, but the story has since been revised that he entered "undisrupted" through an unlocked door.

In writing this, I had to pause to cry for a moment. This breaks my heart. This is so sick and twisted. What the hell is going on America? 2. Woman stops a mass shooting with her concealed handgun -- None of the mainstream media will cover this story, but it is a tale of true heroism. When a man with an AR-15 started shooting into a crowd in Charleston, West Virginia, and woman pulled out her pistol and shot him dead. She then calmly waited for the police to arrive. Later the Chief noted, "Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night." Now THAT is the American way, and it is precisely why we have the 2nd Amendment. 3. This artis of children," democrats continue to politicize this tragedy to score cheap points ahead of the midterm elections. Meanwhile, more savvy politicians are aiming for a modest compromise by creating a grant program through the DOJ that would "encourage states" to implement more gun control.

According to republican Lindsey Graham, this is not gun control, it's just a grant program. Says he, "We're not federalizing this. We're trying to incentivize best business practices at the state level." So, it appears that bribery is now the tactic being used to deprive Americans of their constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

Warning: Idiocy is contagious. In yesterday's podcast I offered my sincerest condolences to the victims of hate at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, before offering a few snarky comments on the media response and then side-stepping the issue altogether. I said I didn't want to talk about it, and I still don't, but I will, because we must.

Why must we talk about this issue when there are so many much more important topics we could be discussing? Precisely because it so rapidly pulled public attention away from more important matters, apparently right on cue, and thus it offers a case study on propaganda and the malleable human mind.

Before we begin to examine the peculiarities surrounding this horrific event, it would be a disservice if I did not mention at least a few of the more important issues being buried by the sensational outrage over "gun violence"...

Now then, having glossed over the more substantive issues that are destined to shape our collective future, let's turn our attention once again to outrage over the latest school shooting -- and yet another"credible threat of violence" in a different Texas school.

Please do not get me wrong: These are horrible atrocities that demand attention and prove beyond all doubt that our nation has a major problem.

But what is the problem? Is it "gun violence?” Is the "angry young American male" a public health crisis? Is it the antidepressants and medications that are being pumped into kids at an alarming rate? Could it be the documented link between violent first person video games and violence in real life?

Have you heard? There is a lot of fuss going around about the World Health Organization's meeting in Geneva this week. People are claiming that the WHO intends to pass regulations that are legally binding on State governments, effectively superseding the sovereignty of countries around the globe, including our own.

Even more disturbing, some reports claim that the Biden administration actually drafted and presented the revisions to the International Health Regulations that will strength the grip of the WHO around the neck of global leaders. Could it be that our own government is about to give the World Health Organization the authority to force vaccinations, quarantines, and health surveillance on the unsuspecting American public?

In a White House press release dated February 2, 2022, the administration explicitly states its commitment to strengthening the WHO, implementing the multilateral Global Health Security Agenda, and accelerating the Global VAX initiative with a "whole-of-government" effort that enhances international coordination with other "non-governmental stakeholders."

Does all of that sound good? Or does any of that raise a few red flags for you?

At surface level, all of these initiatives are dipping with altruistic intent. It sounds as if the whole world is working together to protect humanity from the threat of infectious disease, striving to prevent future pandemics from causing Covid level calamity. There is no doubt that a "global level response" will help saves lives -- and saving lives is the most important thing, right? WRONG.

It's wise to ask why. Why has the spreading of Monkey Pox gripped global headlines? The simple answer is: Because they want it to. There is really no great mystery there. The more important question then becomes: Why do they want everyone to be "concerned" about monkey pox?

This too has a simple answer, or more accurately, several simple answers:

  1. Because it is a convenient global level distraction.
  2. Because it refocuses the masses on the threat of an invisible enemy.
  3. Because it justifies advancing the global socialist agenda.

These reasons operate in concert. Monkey Pox is a great distraction, because it offers a catchy name, horrible images that can be recycled from decades past, and an air of exotic mystery coupled with the thrill of potential terror. Some have pointed out that this timely outbreak is little more than 'fear porn' -- news that continually feeds the public addiction to pandemic level anxiety.

Keep in mind, it is precisely this escalated anxiety that keeps people glued to the news and seeking answers from 'trusted' sources, which is the whole point and purpose of such psychological warfare. While people are gripped by the potential of another more egregious outbreak -- yes, it's a mild disease, but those rashes are hideous -- the invisible hand can change the script mid-reel and obfuscate the obviousness of their overarching agenda.

To be clear, the overarching agenda is total control of the human population. In elite-speak and modern parlance, this is referred to as progress. Dubbed 'sustainable development' and cloaked in other colloquialisms, this is the globalist agenda that is driving the Great Reset and rapidly transitioning humanity toward the global socialist state known as Future Earth.

I know it sounds outrageous, but these plans have been in place for decades, and the time for fundamental transformation is finally upon us. In the minds of the elite, there has been no better time, and there can be no turning back. Even as I write these words, they gather and scheme at the Davos summit, intoxicated by their power and imagining a world where compliance is no longer optional, but instead, mandatory and inescapable.

Should you be worried? The honest answer: That depends on how prepared you are.

If you have a hungry baby, it needs to be fed now, not in two months from now, when baby formula once again graces the shelves. The panic and desperation felt by mothers across the country is unimaginable. The thought that American mothers would struggle to feed their hungry babies is unthinkable.

How has it come to this? What are the lessons here? Could this be a sign of things to come? Could this situation be avoided in the future?

We've explored the answers to these questions in previous episodes, noting that the global regime intends to take control over the food supply chain, controlling levels of both production and consumption -- which means controlling what you eat by controlling your access to food.

Understanding that this is an explicitly stated goal, written down and disseminated throughout the myriad organs of global governance, is essential to making sense of what's happening and anticipating what's to come. Add to this a realization that pain is being used as leverage to manipulate and change human behavior, and we have a framework for thinking this through.

The baby food shortage is a national tragedy in and of itself, however it portends an even greater and more daunting threat in the years ahead. Remember, as Biden said, the food crisis is going to be real, and it's not just baby formula. It's about a growing string of fires and planes crashing into food facilities. It's killing some 40 million chickens just to be safe. It's about trains not delivering much needed fertilizer in time for farmers to plant their crops.

Do you still think this is all happening by accident?

Have you noticed? There are a few things I want to point out about today's propaganda:

  1. For weeks we've been hearing how the Ukrainians have been kicking Russia's ass. Now we hear that the Ukrainians are surrendering in large numbers. It's not clear whether the Russian's are letting them take their high-speed, U.S. funded military toys home with them, but we may suspect at least some of the billions of dollars of military equipment is getting lost in the shuffle, a la Afghani-style.Meanwhile a young Russian evildoer is being charged with war crimes for allegedly shooting an unarmed geriatric civilian at some point during the conflict, and Finland and Sweden have officially applied to join NATO. It is not clear whether this will diversify the world's most woke, equitable, and socially just military alliance, but we have learned that Turkey stands in opposition to their membership, likely because they are racists.
  2. Nanci Pelosi is on a warpath of her own, declaring that indictments may be doled out to deal with the debauched delivery of baby formula for hungry babies. She is not yet clear on who should be charged, but several congressional committees have been formed to investigate the matter, and she is almost certain the republicans are to blame -- which is why all of the investigators are democrats.Meanwhile demands have been made for an additional $28 million for the FDA to help boost the supply of infant formula and prevent future shortages. It is not clear whether the FDA intends to actually start making baby formula, but they are doing everything they can to make sure more babies get fed, and at least some of the money would pay for things like supply-chain monitoring and more government inspectors who may be able to find additional ways to keep people safe by shutting down factories.
  3. The has been a 300% spike in deaths among newborn babies, for the second time in the last six months, which has dubbed mysterious by baffled public health officials. The government is now launching an investigation into the surge of babies dying within weeks of birth that occurred in September 2021 and March of this year. Officials say that COVID infections “did not appear to have played a role” since unvaccinated mothers were all vaccinated so they could be in the hospital.The government reminds us that safe and effective vaccines for pregnant women were made widely available and uptake was strongly encouraged starting August 2021, with six month booster becoming available in February of this year -- meaning pregnant mothers-to-be had access a full month before the mysterious spate of deaths. Though the surge in deaths could not have been due to chance, officials are certain there is no direct link to COVID-19, because the vaccines are safe and effective.

I know that the government is going to keep us safe by making sure that everyone gets vaccinated, by striking all hate speech from the historical record, and by stoically supporting our Western allies in Eastern Europe, but something just doesn't feel quite right.

"The nine most terrifying words are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Why do you think these nine little words are so terrifying? Keep in mind this not some radical fringe right-wing extremist, this perspective is being presented by one of America's most beloved presidents. What do you think Reagan was trying to warn us about? What could go wrong, if all the government is trying to do is step in and help?

Bare shelves and hungry babies offer all the clues we need. Consider the shortage of baby formula. Why is there a shortage of baby formula? Why are desperate mothers scrambling to feed their hungry babies? Because the government stepped in to help. You can almost here the FDA inspectors say it as they walked in the door of the facility:

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

The inspectors' intentions were pure, I'm sure. They were on site because somewhere in this vast country, four babies got sick and two of the died. The babies could have died from tainted formula made by Abbot Nutrition. While it's difficult to grasp why these four cases of "rare bacterial illness" were immediately linked to this Michigan facility, the government wasted no time in shutting the place down and forcing a national recall--so as to keep people safe while the inspectors searched for the invisible enemy.

That is an example of the Precautionary Principle. More on that in a bit.

With all the hungry babies and desperate mothers out there, one might assumed the government inspectors must have found a boat load of rare bacteria at Abbott Nutrition. But did they? It turns out, not so much. The Hill reports the following:

"The facility has been shuttered for more than three months while the FDA investigated whether powdered formula from the plant caused four babies to contract a rare bacterial illness. ...the FDA has not been able to definitively link its formula to the illnesses."

Well that was helpful. The facility was shuttered for three months and they found no link to the illnesses. So as not to turn up empty handed, the government inspectors claim they did find "unsanitary conditions" at the plant. More specifically, they found the common bacteria Cronobacter in the facility, after swabbing the space between some duct tape and the floor.

Let's take it one lie at a time. Glancing at the headlines today, we see nothing but misdirection and misinformation. It's a steady stream of polished propaganda being presented as truth, the very pinnacle and epitome of trickery. With some fresh shock and awe and race-baiting terror burying anything of substance, today's game is one of discernment: What really matters right now?

Let's start by identifying three lies and half-a-truth:

  1. The GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism
  2. When Biden took office there was no vaccine available
  3. Record inflation is due to the wealthiest not paying their fare share
  4. US deaths from COVID hit 1 million, less than 2 1/2 years in

Today's first headline was Liz Cheney's response to the racially motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, NY, wherein Payton Gendron, "a rifle-toting 18-year-old from Conklin, New York," allegedly drove hundreds of miles to hunt down black people at a Tops super market. Make no mistake, this was a despicable racist hate crime of the highest order.

But was his murderous impulse driven by GOP rhetoric? According to his 180 page manifesto (which was essentially identical to a prior white supremacist manifesto), the jaded Gendron claims he was "deep into communist ideology," and on the political compass he would fall in the "mild-moderate authoritarian left." As you might expect, there is much more to the story.

Let's step back in time. It was May 5th, some 204 years ago, in springtime of the year 1818, when a baby was born who would grow up and change the world forever. Karl Marx was born in the Rhine province of Prussia, which is now modern day Germany, and some 65 years later, after seeding his revolutionary thoughts throughout the world, he died in London in the 1883.

Depending on the slant of historical account, and the political inclinations of the historian's pen, Karl Marx was either a brilliant philosopher and political revolutionary, or a deeply disturbed individual with radically dangerous ideas. Regardless of personal interpretation, his philosophy has had a significant impact on the course of history, and his ideas are very much alive and well today.

Obviously, to provide a historical account of Marx's life is beyond the scope of this article. Instead, the intent herein is to demonstrate the direct connection between Marxism, communism, socialism, collectivism, globalism, the progressive agenda, and the modern Democrat party.

The implication is that the philosophical lineage of progressive politics are ultimately regressive in nature, rooted in the philosophies of egalitarianism and idealism stemming from the 18th century Enlightenment. Egalitarianism is the philosophical foundation of all things related to equity and equality, while idealism asserts that reality is a mere mental construct, indistinguishable from human perception. Accordingly, this period was known as the Age of Reason, wherein "enlightened" thinkers began to question and become critical of traditional authority, especially the church.

Quick side note: Klaus Schwab repeatedly refers to the "enlightened" leaders who will lead us into "Future Earth."

Back to Karl Marx. Born to Jewish parents, Marx was baptized as a protestant in his formative years, before later growing critical of the church and deriding religion as "the opium of the people," declaring that it was a harmful, illusion-generating painkiller. Contrasting with the traditional Christian belief that God created man in God’s own image, Karl Marx believed that human beings invented God in their own image. Please note the complete inversion of thought, the projecting of an exact opposite, as this pattern persists into modern politics.

It's about to get ugly. Mark my words, all the changes that are required to implement the Great Reset are accelerating. Even as more and more people begin to regain a sense of normalcy, living as if the pandemic was a thing of the past, pretending as if the entire sham was just an unfortunate anomaly, the forces that are actually orchestrating this chaos are gearing up for the next phase of transformation--and pain is an unavoidable, even intentional part of the equation.

I know it sounds outlandish. I know some people will dismiss it as crazy. And I know, when the Great Reset is complete, the majority of people will never have seen it coming. They will awaken to a world unrecognizable, to a splendid and utopian Future Earth wherein the human population has been culled of radical extremists who cling to their guns and Bibles, and the world will have been purged of the domestic terrorists who spread vicious misinformation.

In Future Earth, not only will civil society thrive on meatless, genetically modified sustainable diets, public transportation and electric vehicles will minimize our collective carbon footprint, and the messiness of humanity will be safely managed within great, glistening, sustainable cities all around the globe. Habitat destruction will cease and human contact with wildlife will be restricted to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases. We will live in harmony with the planet and each other, and diseases, poverty, hunger, and inequality will become relics of our primitive past. At least that's how the story goes.

Unfortunately, even with all of the obvious boons to humanity and the benefits to our collective well-being, there will most certainly be stubborn, obstinate, tribalistic types who openly resist what's best for the greater good. That's where the pain comes in.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

When trying to decipher the intentions of the political class --  whether we're talking about city, county, state, or federal politicians,  or the Davos global elite -- it's best to follow the money.

With that in mind, today's headline news informs us that Congress just voted to send $40 BILLION dollars to Ukraine, which is more than 20% higher than what Biden asked  for. Celebrating the fact that this bill was passed in bipartisan  fashion, with 70% of republicans joining 100% of democrats (358-58), the  justification for this shocking amount of spending is utterly lacking.

You never saw it coming. It's nearly impossible to tell when an invisible enemy is on the move. For that we must rely on the legacy media and their government informants, or else draw upon the deep inner resources of intelligence, instinct, and intuitive insights to project trajectories of probable outcomes. Personal preference leads me to the latter.

Listeners to this podcast are well aware that we are simply sitting ducks for the next viral assault. We know, because they've been repeatedly telling us that covid is not over. Anyone who does not have their head in the sand (or stuck in their hind pocket), understands that this is all part of the plan -- that pandemics are a useful and integral part of the Great Reset.

Thus, we wait patiently for the next wave to fall upon us, wondering how bad it will get, and looking to the government--nigh, demanding the government--protect us from the next attack from the insidious invisible enemy. The good news is that the World Health Organization is rising to the challenge of protecting us all, and they have a very detailed plan for keeping humanity safe, from now until forevermore.

That said, before we explore what exactly this plan entails, we must acknowledge the flow of headlines that will help us really appreciate what the WHO is up to:

  • COVID Positivity Tops 20% as 5th Wave Intensifies
  • COVID Infections Have Increased 50% Among Unmasked TSA
  • 100 Million Americans Could Be Infected During Surge
  • We Want to Be Done with COVID, But it's Not Done With Us
  • Warnings of a Summer Surge as Infections Continue to Rise

As you can see, Covid-19 is not going away -- in reality, it's heading right for us. While some people fret that they might not get equitable access to their fourth booster shot, it would be more prudent to examine the government's plan for moving forward. Doing so will help us be better prepared for the what lies ahead.

Have you seen 2000 Mules? No, I'm not talking about a large herd of short, fuzzy, four-legged animals. I'm talking about smugglers, people who get paid to pack contraband from point A to point B, without asking too many questions, and without getting caught. Turns out there are thousands of mules who happened to very politically active in the last election.

That's actually an understatement. There were more than 2,000 mules who stuffed hundreds of thousands of ballots in key battleground states during the 2020 election. Averaging more than 25 drop boxes per mule, with 10 or more visits to each box, often in the twilight hours, with noticeably suspicious behavior, complete with disposable gloves that we quickly discarded after the drops were made -- all of this was caught on camera.

Dinesh D'Souza has just released a BOMBSHELL investigative documentary that exposes the shocking amount of fraud that shuttled the shuffling Old Biden into the White House. The implications of this information are absolutely astounding. Please watch this movie!!

Could this be the "most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization" in the history of American politics? You know, the one that Joe Biden was bragging about on camera? Watch it here.

Raise your hand if you think Joe Biden was the most popular president ever elected?

Nobody ever raises their hand, which leads me to believe that most people already have some inclination that the 2020 election was questionable at best. But how do we know for sure?

Hello neighbor, are you an extremist? Says the stunned neighbor: “Well geez, I don’t know, what is an extremist?”

Have you not heard? Extremists are the greatest threat to our democracy! Extremists are experts in the dissemination of disinformation and they infiltrate your mind with dangerous misinformation. They are always seeking to deceive you, to activate your own latent extremist sympathies and radicalize your beliefs and perspectives.

Says the neighbor: “Gosh, how do I know if I’ve been deceived?”

Well, for starters, if you still support MAGA, you are supporting “the most extreme political organization” in American history — which means sporting your MAGA gear in public might constitute extremist behavior. If you believe in the slogan “Make America Great Again,” you have been deceived into believing that our country is off-track, and this is the first step toward being radicalized. You are on the wrong path.

But, of course, it’s not too late to fact-check your perspective and realign yourself with the greater good. However, if the malinformation has already infected your emotions, you may feel resistant to our collective programming, and even become inclined to speak out against perceived intrusions into your personal life. By whispering about what you mistakenly believe to be wrong, your extremist views may even begin to spread and ignite extremist feelings in your own social circles.

You might even find yourself feeling compelled to take action by attending local school board meetings and the like. If you do so, be very cautious, as this is the known behavior of violent extremists and domestic terrorists. Fortunately, the FBI is monitoring the situation, but it’s probably still best not to participate in such fringe behavior — especially if you’ve been tricked into believing that something is wrong with state curriculum. That’s a telltale sign you’ve been receiving misinformation.

Says the concerned neighbor: “Wow, I had no idea I’ve been being lied to for so long.”

Evidentially, it was time to revise the data. The World Health Organization has once again shocked the world, announcing that the number of deaths from COVID-19 is almost 3X higher than previously reported. Revising the death count up from 5.4 million to nearly 15 million is said to better account for the millions of people who died as an indirect result of the pandemic.

How did they come up with this staggering increase and new news worthy headline? By estimating the number of people who died because they could not access healthcare when systems were “overwhelmed,” and by boosting the total deaths in countries that lacked “adequate reporting.” In other words, they simply manipulated the numbers.

It’s worth noting that not everyone agrees with these new numbers. In particular, after the WHO 10X’d the death toll for the country of India, the Indian government rejected the figures, claiming the modeling and methodology were deeply flawed. Nevertheless, according to the narrative, there is only one organization that is authorized to conjure up numbers out of thin air—and declare the data as truth.

Which brings up a question: Are you aware that the WHO implemented a new Division of Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact (DDI) to achieve their Triple Billion Targets by the year 2023? Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of this group before, but you might like to know this is the crew that is tweaking the numbers.

Complimenting the effort to control the world’s health data, ensure their officially revised numbers drive the only authorized narrative that is allowed to direct public health policy around the globe, the WHO is also “immunizing the public against misinformation,” by using artificial intelligence to conduct creepy “social listening” and develop algorithmic solutions that systematically destroy disinformation.

What is the cost of ignorance? When an individual suffers from their own ignorance, it can be observed as a cycle of self-induced suffering. Often times this pattern of self-induced suffering is apparent to everyone in the room except the individual who remains blinded by ignorance. Being an ubiquitous aspect of our shared humanity, we all share an inherent susceptibility to remaining unaware of what we don’t know.

It’s wise to realize that this affects us all in big and small ways, from the deeply personal level of our own inner world (why am I feeling this way?), to the interconnected dynamics of society at large (why are they acting that way?). We don’t know what we don’t know, but if we remain curious and open, we can glean wisdom from the difficult circumstances and cycles of suffering that are rooted in our individual and collective ignorance.

The cost of ignorance is unnecessary pain and suffering. It’s missed opportunity and regret. It’s lack of faith and hope. The cost of ignorance is a diminished life, it’s meaninglessness, hopelessness, uncertainty, and fear. The cost of ignorance is chaos, it’s the unraveling and destruction of beauty and order. The cost of ignorance is the loss of what’s loved, and an inevitable slide into insanity.

When we’re suffering but can’t figure out why we are suffering, it’s maddening. This is as true at the personal level as it is at the societal level. Given the existential crisis that is ravaging our nation, it seems appropriate to stop and ask ourselves why — Why are we so divided? Why are people acting so strange? Why am I so frustrated with what’s going on? Why does it feel like everything is spinning out of control?

As I’ve been pondering these questions, considering the different facets of this complex situation, something struck me. Ignorance is an inherent part of life and is always present in some degree or another, but not all ignorance has the same degree of impact. Thus, a small degree of ignorance in one area can easily have a disproportionate impact in all other areas of life, affecting society as a whole.

For example, being ignorant of government propaganda has widespread consequences.

I'm mad. Aren't you? Can you believe it? Can you believe the audacity of the Supreme Court to dare question the sanctity of Roe v Wade? Can you believe they have the gall to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body? Can you believe they would so brazenly disregard nearly fifty years of precedent and smugly return to the Constitutional precedent of States rights?

Why would the Supreme Court be so quick to antagonize the antipathy of the oppressed feminists and the woke leftist mob? The enmity is palpable. Surely their brilliant legal minds can grasp the impact this historic decision will have on the midterm elections. Surely it's just a coincidence that this unprecedented breach of judicial decorum has enraged and energize the democratic base, just in time to get out the vote.

The media is in a frenzy, spinning this story up to be the most damaging setback to the rights of women "in the history of our country." Militant feminists and hordes of useful idiots are being told to take to the streets, claiming this injustice is "giving us an opportunity to show them how ungovernable we will be if they follow through.”

Democrats are howling, flash mobs are forming, and standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine just became a secondary issue. Now the woke mob has a singular focus: Raging against Republicans and causing chaos ahead of the midterms.

Reading from a script and revealing the underlying political strategy, President Biden had this to say:

"If the Court does overturn Roe, it will fall on our nation’s elected officials at all levels of government to protect a woman’s right to choose. And it will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November. At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice Senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe which I will work to pass and sign into law."

President Biden is finally the champion the Left has been looking for.

They've been watching you.

In 2013, when Edward Snowden revealed the extent of secret government surveillance programs -- including but not limited to the NSA's RETRO, MYSTIC, and PRISM programs -- Americans were rightly disturbed to learn the government had been eavesdropping on their every conversation. Liberal groups pointed out that unbridled state surveillance was deeply undemocratic, and patriots of all stripes and colors praised these revelations.

The American Civil Liberties Union, stalwart of progressive politics, put it this way:

"Unchecked government surveillance presents a grave threat to democratic freedoms. These revelations are a reminder that Congress has given the executive branch far too much power to invade individual privacy, that existing civil liberties safeguards are grossly inadequate, and that powers exercised entirely in secret, without public accountability of any kind, will certainly be abused."

Unchecked government surveillance presents a grave threat to democratic freedoms. That one line packs a powerful punch. Why does unchecked government surveillance present a grave threat to our freedoms? Because if they can scan your emails, listen to your phone calls, and track your every movement, they can find you and punish you for being out of line.

Of course, we are supposed to believe that government surveillance is intended to keep us safe. Fore example, after 9/11 the Bush administration passed the Patriot Act, in theory to protect Americans from Al Qaeda terrorists. The act’s official title is, “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism," which sounds like a noble cause.

But what exactly are these tools, and how might they be misused?

Well that's interesting. The World Health Organization just published an article attacking corporations that market baby formula to mothers. The concern is that misleading marketing reinforces myths about breastfeeding and undermines women’s confidence in their ability to breastfeed successfully. Such misinformation is dissuading mothers from breastfeeding -- which is what the WHO exclusively recommends.

Now the WHO is calling on governments to protect new children and families, "by enacting, monitoring and enforcing laws to end all advertising or other promotion of formula milk products." It sounds like a noble cause, as all causes do, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the WHO is a key player in foisting the globalist agenda upon an unsuspecting public. Thus, their announcement begs the question: What are they really up to?

Brace yourself. Yesterday, Dr. Anthony "The Science" Fauci declared unequivocally:

“We are certainly, right now, out of the pandemic phase.”

Fast forward less than 24 hours, and today we find Dr. Fauci has flip-flopped faster than usual, claiming that his words were being misconstrued. His revised scientific opinion is now:

"We certainly cannot say the pandemic is over. It is not over."

Anyone who has been paying attention for the last two years would be quick to point out that Fauci is a media lapdog and with a long track record of lying to the American public. What did you expect was going to happen? Did you really think they were just going to drop it and let us get back to normal? As I've said repeatedly, that was never the plan.

Remember, this is all part of the Great Reset, which is intended to usher us into the global socialist state affectionately referred to as Future Earth. Perhaps Dr. Fauci stepped out of line and actually uttered a few words of truth -- that the pandemic is over -- before being called to heel by his political masters. Or perhaps this too was just another ploy to stir confusion and controversy, and stimulate more frustration with the corrupt establishment.

Understanding that the Great Reset implies the utter collapse of existing society, that second option may not be as far fetched as it sounds. Could there be global forces seeking to destabilize our democracy? (Excuse me while I gag on the words "destabilize our democracy"). Of course there are global forces seeking to destabilize our country! Don't you remember the last two election cycles, when the evil Russians were interfering with our otherwise totally legit elections?

Do you recall the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative imploding and exposing the fact that it was actually the Democrat National Committee who was paying for Russian disinformation and spoon-feeding lies to their media allies? The investigation of this corruption is still ongoing, with special counsel John Durham dropping bombshell revelations that show just how intertwined and complicit the major media outlets were in this whole scandal.

That there is a concerted effort to leverage the media to advance political agendas should not come as a surprise. That only six major media conglomerates control over 90% of content consumed by the American public -- controlling 90% of everything Americans see, hear, and consider important -- should raise a brow.

Who fact-checkers the fact-checkers? Why anyone trusts the "fact-checkers" baffles me. While it is true that there are fact-checkers who are ostensibly unbiased, the truth remains that these organizations are run by human beings who act according to their own personal convictions. Furthermore, when placed in the context of the broader conversation, fact-checkers invariably come down on one side of the political spectrum or the other. There is no neutral ground.

What fact-checkers really do, is provide people cheap confidence that their ill-formed, ignorant perspectives are backed by ideologically driven propaganda. I know it sounds like I'm not being "nice" -- but aren't we passed the point of playing nice with people who continually attack, insult, and degrade anyone who disagrees? They call us names, deplatform, shadow ban, and attempt to ridicule and marginalize anyone who questions the common narrative.

Both sides claim they have the facts -- and they both have fact-checkers to back them up. Obviously both sides cannot be right. Thus, it would behoove anyone who values commonsense and critical thinking, to exercise discernment and decide for themselves which facts are true, versus which facts are fiction. But, rather than expound on the epistemology of truth, I pick on a recent fact-checking article that claims:

"No, food-plant fires aren’t attempt to create food shortages."

Well that's reassuring, isn't it? Dozens of fires at food processing facilities across the country, sparked in a pattern of consistent intervals, do not mean there is some malicious intent to interrupt food supply chains. Since there is no evidence that any of this is related, it's all just coincidence.

Coincidentally, these fires also coincide with the murder of more than 24 million chickens over the last couple months (because of the bird flu), the US pork industry panicking over African Swine Fever, beef and dairy producers not getting enough grain to feed their animals, and farmers not being able to get the fertilizer they need -- all because of suspiciously targeted reductions in rail delivery.

Exactly two months ago, after conducting extensive research and preparing the Ukraine Special Report, I presented patriot club members with 10 pages of historical context and political considerations that cast an entirely different light on the Russia-Ukraine narrative. Revealing the long history of regional tension, rooted in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the report explores how western forces have been trying to stake their claim in Ukraine for decades.

After a series of suspicious "revolutions" -- like the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 -- it became clear that the Ukrainian people were deeply divided over maintaining their own independence, versus forfeiting sovereignty and joining the European Union. Obviously there were very powerful global forces pulling for the later, including the U.S. government. That the West wants Ukraine is no secret.

Since the writing of February 26th report, I've been looking at the Russia-Ukraine headlines from a different angle. Isn't it interesting that after several weeks of being bombarded and invaded by the Russians, President Zelensky was still not willing to join with NATO? Could it be that the majority of the Ukrainian people feel more threatened by a western takeover, than by a Russian takeover? I've suspected that it was the EU, UN, and the US -- who are the seat of the global elite, hellbent on taking over the world -- were actually the ones who are up to no good.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Putin is innocent, or that Russian isn't bombing innocent civilians. What I'm saying is that there is more to the story -- that the real power struggle at play is between those who want global control, and the Russian Bear who is not easily controlled.

Today's podcast is going to be a little longer on audio and shorter on written word.

To understand how the globalists are controlling the narrative, take a look at the information being pumped out of the World Health Organization for World Immunization Week:

  • WHO World Immunization Week
  • WHO Media Propaganda Kit
  • WHO Controlling Risk Perception
  • WHO Infodemic Management Conference
  • WHO Training to Combat Misinformation
  • WHO Guidance to Keep Leaders in Lockstep

This is world-class propaganda. Clicking through those links, noting the language, the eye catching graphics, and the underlying intent to control the flow of information. Doing so will help you understand how they are using language to take control of our lives!

Yesterday I was wrong. In all the excitement of prepping for the 100th episode of the Good Morning Goldendale podcast, I had gone to my bookmarked sources of data from the CDC and the World Health Organization. The WHO website was experiencing issues and presented a redirect link. I clicked the link, nabbed the numbers, and ran the calculations -- then I ran my mouth.

Claiming that the U.S. accounted for over half of the world's covid deaths just sounded so good, commonsense escaped me for the moment. I wasn't until I actually listened to the podcast that I realized how wrong I was -- and I knew I was wrong, because I've been following these numbers since the start of the pandemic.

Thus, I rushed to correct the issue, write an apology, and present the proper calculations. The U.S. accounts for about 16% of the total covid deaths -- which is much less than half the world's deaths, but still disproportionately high given we are only 4% of the world's population, and we spend more money on healthcare than any other nation.

I chose not to take down the original podcast for a few different reasons:

  1. Because the episode was already broadcast across multiple platforms, people had already listened and read, and the email was already sitting in people's inboxes -- thus, the mistake was already made public and couldn't be taken back.
  2. Realizing it was such a glaringly obvious mistake stung. I wanted to crawl into a hole, but what good would that do? I'm human, I make mistakes, and I must own up to it. That's why I issued the corrections and apology, with a desire to make it right.
  3. This was also a learning opportunity for me, and for the audience. Always stay curious, always question the facts, always check the references -- this mindset drives my research, but it doesn't mean the facts I find are infallible.

Hence the humble pie! In Monday morning's podcast, Ep. 97 - Have We All Been Deceived?, I tip-toed into a discussion about questioning personal beliefs, which is a challenging exercise in humility. We all believe that we are right -- but can we admit when we are wrong? How can I expect someone else to question their convictions, if I'm not willing to question my own? How can I expect someone else to question their facts, if I'm not willing to question my own?

Reflecting on the course of the week, reeling from my big mistake, all of a sudden it felt appropriate that my 100th podcast, of which I felt so proud, would ultimately dash my ego against the rocks of reality. Here was my chance to "practice what you preach" and lead by example. Rather than try to conceal the mistake, I chose to embrace it.

Corrections and apologies were made, lessons were learned, and at the end of the day, the world kept turning. As I soaked in a sunbeam on this beautiful Friday morning, contemplating today's conversation, the following thought came to mind:

When life serves you humble pie, it's best to savor the flavor.

We grow wiser when we do, and we grow together when we share these lessons with others.

It's shocking really. PLEASE NOTE: The numbers below are inaccurate; please click here for corrected calculations. Even with the corrected numbers, the US still has a shocking 16% of worldwide deaths.

**Thus, the points made in the podcast are still valid, even with the wrong numbers.

The United States is home to a mere 4% of the world's population. We spend more money on healthcare than any other nation. At 16.9% of GDP our healthcare spending is almost double the average of other developed countries.

Our well-funded, world-class healthcare system has administered more COVID-19 vaccines than all other countries except India and China, which have significantly higher populations. As a result, we have more vaccinated people in America, than in any other developed nation.

Given our relatively small percentage of the world's population, the superior amount of money we spend on healthcare, and our easy access to vaccinations, one might expect that the U.S. would have fared fairly well throughout the COVID-19 pandemic -- meaning less people should have died, because we have high sanitation, excellent healthcare facilities, and readily available access to free testing and vaccinations across the country.

So, how did we do? There are only two numbers that really tell the story:

  • There have been 1,971,135 total deaths from COVID-19 in the world. [this is actually only for the EU; apology and explanation here.]
  • There have been 987,034 total deaths from COVID-19 in the United States.

What those numbers tell us is shocking: The United States accounts for more than HALF of all the deaths from COVID-19 in the entire world. --mic drop--

It's flabbergasting. It's mind-boggling. It's frightening. It's unbelievably insane!!!

How can this be? This doesn't make sense! What in the world is going on here?! Could there be some reasonable explanation for this complete and utter failure to protect our people? Could there be some logical justification for this outrageous discrepancy? How do we explain these data, and what do they really mean?

What are we going to do about it? Liberty loving Americans all across the country can sense that something is wrong. It's been wrong for a long time, and that creeping sense of government overreach has only accelerated since the start of the pandemic. Having recently driven more than 6,000 miles across the country, I can tell you for certain, that people everywhere are asking the very same questions:

What are we going to do about it? What are we going to do about the mask mandates, the vaxx mandates, the forced testing, lockdowns, travel restrictions, and oppressive medical tyranny? What are we going to do about the tone deaf politicians, the corrupt election system, and the self-enriching, forever scheming, entrenched political class?

What are we going to do about the loss of liberty, the trampling of our Constitution, and the violation of our basic human rights? What are we going to do about the rampant inflation, supply chain issues, food shortages, and coming collapse of our economy? What are we going to do about the twisted globalist agenda that has permeated every aspect of daily lives?

What are we going to do about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? What are we do about the death of the American Dream? What are we going to do to preserve and protect freedom for future generations? What are we going to do to ensure that our children are free to live their lives according the values and principles that once united our country?

What are we going to do about the perverted curriculum in our schools? What are we going to do about the grooming, the teaching of hate, and the socialist indoctrination that has inundated our education system? What are we going to do about the persistent and pernicious influence of the progressive agenda that is actively corrupting our kids?

What are we going to do about the radical environmentalist who want to rule the world? What are we going to do about the Green Manifesto, the UN Agenda 2030, and the efforts to install a system of global governance that guarantees the elite can control us all? What are we going to do about the loss of sovereignty at level, and the subsequent destruction of life as we know it? What are we going to do about the invisible hand that is steering all this chaos?

Happy Unmasking Day! You've probably heard the news: A naive and inexperienced Trump-appointed judicial activist with no medical qualifications has openly defied The Science and struck down the CDC's mask mandates -- prompting wild howls of sacrilege and blasphemy from the Covidian Cult.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the CDC improperly failed to justify its continued decision to force the use of masks on planes, trains, and public transit, declaring the mandates to be unlawful, “Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends."

Noting that mask mandates violate the Administrative Procedure Act and are outside the scope of the CDC's authority, with a brazen and bold stroke of the pen, Judge Mizelle has forced the CDC to walk-back its April 13th decision to extend mask mandates. This in turn means that the Transportation Security Administration can no longer cite The Science as a valid reason for violating bodily autonomy and trampling individual liberties.

Instead, they they will be focusing on implementing gender-neutral screening, investing some $18.6 million to replace their current "gender-based" Advanced Imaging Technology.

The White House has said the court ruling means that the mask order “is not in effect at this time” -- at least not for now. And, while many Americans are cheering the decision, ripping off their masks as the announcement was made mid-flight, Jen Psaki was quick to make clear:

“This is obviously a disappointing decision.”

Psaki also points out that the CDC still recommends wearing a mask on public transit, they just can't force a mask on your face. All this exciting news comes even as Dr. Fauci is making the media rounds claiming that herd immunity might not apply to COVID-19 and reassuring the American public that new deadly variants will be coming soon.

May the wise take note:

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." -1 Peter 5:8

This powerful passage of the Bible is often used to cast doubt on anyone who has different beliefs. Contemplating this scripture, it occurred to me that everyone seems to believe that everyone else is being duped by clever lies from the opposing side. Not only does this create a great deal of uncertainty, it also stokes division and hostility that rips at the fabric of society.

Think about it: If you don't believe that Christ died and rose again as the salvation of humanity, you've been deceived. If you don't believe that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal ravaging the Ukraine, you've been deceived. If you don't believe that the climate crisis is the greatest threat to public health, you've been deceived. If you don't believe the COVID vaccines are safe and effective, you've been deceived.

In reality, the accusations of deception flow from both ends of the political spectrum. Nobody wants to be deceived, nor are we quick to realize that we actually have been deceived. When confronted with the threat of deception, it is human nature to double down on personal beliefs, justifying ourselves through confirmation bias and insulating ourselves in isolated pockets of influence.

While all of this is normal, predictable behavior, it raises the question: How do we know if we are being deceived? And, by asking this question, we rip the lid off a big can of worms.

It’s all about mindset. Perhaps you missed the fact that the Biden administration just extended the COVID-19 Emergency for another 90 days. One might suspect this is do the the increasing case counts associated with the new and more viral BA.2 variant that is sweeping the nation, and the list of high profile infections coming out of Washington DC — however, there are other reasons.

But, before we consider other underlying motivations, let’s look at a few numbers:

  • As of today, April 15th, 2022, after 25 months of pandemic, the CDC reports there have been 984,744 deaths associated with COVID-19.
  • The current population of the United States is 332,615,956 people.
  • Simple math allows us to calculate 984,744 total deaths / 332,615,956 total population, to reveal a death rate of .00296, or rounding the death rate up, approximately 0.3%.
  • That means that more than 99.7% of the population has survived the covid crisis.

Given these facts, driven by data from the CDC, one might ask: Where’s the emergency?

Of course, many of us have been asking that very same question since the start of this sham-demic. Some of the world’s top doctors concluded early on that this was never a public health crisis, but instead a “public messaging” crisis. Doctors were pointing out that public health messaging was triggering massive panic, and that was causing catastrophic consequences.

Even as the CDC continues to revise the numbers and reduce the number of deaths, the media continues to feed the fear over the next deadly variant. While the World Health Organization tells us the pandemic is far from over, U.S. officials have moved in lockstep, extending the National Emergency even further into the future.

Now we must ask why: Why are they extending the emergency, given the lack of emergency?

Where the focus goes, the energy flows. This is a tenant of martial arts, at it is widely applicable to everyday life -- even in making sense of the news and media propaganda. Using the tool of intelligent inquiry, the curious mind may ask questions that slice through the fluff and discover the substantive issues concealed by the illusion of crafted narrative.

This is an essential step in solving the problems that seem to be plaguing every aspect of society. We cannot solves problems if we do not understand the dynamics at play. Even worse, by failing to account for what is not being said -- and by extension, what is not even being considered -- we remain blind to the various forces that are foisting their destructive agenda upon an unsuspecting public.

The good news is, we can begin to overcome this oversight with a few simple questions: What is the general direction of public attention? What are we being led to think about? And most importantly, what is not being talked about in the news today?

Here are a few conspicuously missing issues of concern:

  • There is no mention of hate crimes.But we do find scenes of a horrendous premeditated slaughter in a New York subway, carried out by a "person of color" who was hunting for "whitey" in the name of Black Jesus. Authorities are still trying to determine his motivations -- as they do mental gymnastics to avoid acknowledging the racially motivated crime.
  • There is no mention of election integrity.But we do find paranoid liberal activists, deeply disturbed by Biden's dismal approval ratings and the upcoming midterms, out there pushing to make voting compulsory. By enforcing “mandatory attendance at the polls” -- under the threat of fines, public shaming, and community service -- these degenerates believe they will be advancing democracy.
  • There is no mention of communist infiltration.But we do find a couple of comedians discussing the lack of commonsense on the political left. As Joe Rogan and Bill Maher lambaste their liberal counterparts -- declaring that Democrats have become completely detached from reality and "bogged down in woke esoterica" -- they fail to realize the party has been taken over by avowed communists.

Of course, these are not the issues that we are to be concerned about.

We have a choice to make. Being indecisive is a common affliction. It can be very difficult to figure out what the best decision is, especially in chaotic and challenging times. Sometimes we have to choose the hard right over the easy wrong, but in every case, we have to know why we are making any particular choice.

Many times, we are quick to get lost in amidst too many options -- too many "What ifs" and "What abouts" clutter our thinking and we cannot see clearly what is most important to consider. To simplify the decision making process, we need to prioritize and assess which choices are most impactful, and which have the greatest chance of advancing the principles of liberty.

When it comes to the future of our country -- the future our children will inherit -- we must choose between "building back better" and embracing the globalist vision for Future Earth, or making the difficult but decisive choice to wrestle with fate and wrest our destiny from the ruthless grip of global tyrants. Please understand, for many people, this is not an easy decision.

It has never been easy to stand up to tyrants. There is great risk in breaking ranks, in being exposed as opposition, in drawing attention to the intent to dissent. Doing so means being labeled an enemy of people, an enemy of the state, and an enemy of the greater good. Real consequences await those who would be bold enough to rock the boat and challenge the status quo. Is it worth the risk?

What's at stake in this decision? What are the consequences of inaction? What do we risk by not making a stand, by not fighting for what's right? The words of Edmund Burke come to mind:

“All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.”

Though Burke was a English philosopher and statesmen, his words resonated throughout the American Revolution. He advocated before the British Parliament that the Americans be declared free at once. It was the year of 1777, a time of great suffering for the Americans who had severed allegiance to the crown and proclaimed their own Declaration of Independence.

These historical events changed the course of history, and offer great insight into the choices we face today. For patriots, stories from the American Revolution generate inspiration and courage. For political tyrants, these same stories represent a foreboding shadow of possible outcomes.

In today's podcast, I will share a few of these stories, reading from a book published in 1881 titled, "The Eclectic History of the United States". How does this period of history impact us today?

Did you miss it? In celebration of World Health Day, April 7th 2022, the WHO is making a full-court press to capitalize on what they've determined are the positive aspects of destroying life as we know it.

Citing "opinion polls from around the world," the WHO claims that people want to "preserve the positives" from the pandemic so that together we can save the planet:

"The lockdown measures that have been necessary to control the spread of COVID-19 have slowed economic activity, and disrupted lives - but have also given some glimpses of a possible brighter future. In some places, pollution levels have dropped to such an extent that people have breathed clean air, or have seen blue skies and clear waters, or have been able to walk and cycle safely with their children - for the first times in their lives."

When the WHO claims that lockdown measures offer a glimpse of a "brighter future," what they are saying is that draconian lockdowns and authoritarian regulations -- laws that restrict natural human behavior and personal expression -- have proven to be essential tools for advancing their agenda. In essence, they've found that medical tyranny works.

Now, by connecting the covid pandemic with the climate agenda, the WHO is framing this transition (aka The Great Reset) as an opportunity to "re-imagine your world," which includes the following recommendations:

  • Keeping fossil fuels in the ground and stopping new fossil fuel exploration.
  • Taxing the polluters and incentivizing carbon reduction.
  • Building new bike lanes and footpaths to engage low-carbon public transport.
  • Taxing highly processed foods and beverages high in salt, sugars and unhealthy fats.
  • Removing highly processed and packaged foods from the workplace.
  • Regulating the marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages in public spaces.
  • Keeping thermostats set at 70 degrees or less.
  • Fundamentally restructuring production, distribution, and consumption systems.
  • Implementing policy measures that limit volumes of production and consumption.

According to the WHO, going back to “normal” is not good enough -- and that never was the plan. By linking one crisis with another and claiming that "the climate crisis is a health crisis," the globalists at the WHO believe they have found the ultimate justification to fundamentally transform our world -- and they are flexing their authority to enforce these policies at the global level.

This is all part of the vision for what globalists call Future Earth.

What do you believe? "High gas prices? That's just what we need!" -- coming from the cover of the Seattle Times, I believe these words capture the great disconnect between reality and radical progressive politics. Writing for the Times, John Talton goes on to educate the uneducated conservative peasants of the world:

"The biggest paradox of the moment is Americans complaining about high gasoline prices while climate change is growing worse. ... Yet carbon — of which Happy Motoring is among the worst offenders — needs to be priced high enough to keep it in the ground instead of burning it into the atmosphere. This is essential to preventing global catastrophe."

Priced high enough to keep it in the ground? Really? How will that work exactly? Setting all facts and logical thinking aside, what is critical to remember, is that John Talton and many others actually believe that driving their cars is destroying the planet. More importantly, they actually believe that you driving your car is destroying the planet too.

By extension, they believe that you are an existential threat to the future of earth.

It does not matter that your or I disagree. It does not matter that world-class scientists disagree. It doesn't matter that higher gas prices are hurting low-income families, driving up the prices of groceries and everything else on the half-bare shelves. It doesn't matter if you want or need to travel for work, or to visit with family and friends. Any such "happy motoring" should be considered selfish and shameful.

All that matters is "preventing global catastrophe." This is a belief that is held with religious conviction, and anyone who challenges The Science or questions the underlying premise is a charlatan who deserves public flogging and humiliation. Worse yet, dissenters are a threat to humanity -- even though they don't yet realize it -- and in order to prevent global catastrophe, dissenters must be dealt with.

What's the big news?

Let me just read a few headlines for you:

  • Zelensky: Russians Killed Civilians for 'pleasure'
  • Russian Atrocities Shock the World
  • Grisly Images From Hell in Bucha
  • Biden: Try Putin For War Crimes
  • Town By Town, Prosecutors Build War Crimes Case
  • Zelensky Briefs UN On Massacres
  • Shot In The Streets: Zelensky Talks Torture & War Crimes

Now, despite being the talk of town, that's not the big news. As the MSM blathers on about alleged war crimes, building the case for even stiffer sanctions, and ratcheting up rhetoric to fever-pitch levels, there is another story lurking beneath the shiny, slimy surface of the media cesspool.

But, but, but... the pictures, the videos, there is so much evidence that Putin is evil!

To be clear: I am not being callous, I am being logical. I did not say there were no war crimes. I did not say that Russia hasn't done anything wrong. What I am saying, is that rational thinking requires we suspend emotional reaction and sift through the shift in search for other facts that are relevant to the situation. As always, there is much more to the story.

Consider another line up of headlines:

  • Russia Backstops the Rubble With Gold
  • Russia is Quietly Making the Case For Gold
  • Unfinished Brexit Business: NATO's Internal Gold War
  • The Dollar Dethroned: The End of Monetary Policy As We Know It
  • The Debasement of World Currency: Inflation Not As We Know It

You may recall from Ep. 89 - The Greatest Economy Ever, that global forces are in a "mutating economic war" against Russia -- a war that "only NATO can win" -- via the consolidation of economic might and enhancement of "coercive" powers. Of course, all of this will inevitably lead to a great deal of pain for the peasantry, and the blame will be pegged on Putin.

Anything is possible. Especially in times of crisis. Especially when the government is trying to protect us. After all, what could possibly be more important than saving lives and preventing unnecessary death?

Is individual liberty more important than someone else's life? Is personal freedom more important than the greater good? Is medical autonomy, bodily integrity, or personal choice more important than what government officials claim is best for you, your children, or our community?

The reality is that different people answer these questions in different ways. There is an ideological divide, rooted in socially conditioned beliefs, than causes people to approach the topic of "what's best" from wildly different angles. It is imperative that we understand these are irreconcilable differences -- and they are not going to go away.

Remember the Shanghai lockdown of some 26 million people I mentioned last week? Turns out their initial 9 day lockdown was insufficient. Now the Chinese government is scrambling to stop the spread, taking up drastic measures to do so -- by forcefully separating children from their parents:

"Parents who brought their children in for treatment have seen them taken by authorities and moved to official quarantine facilities, often leaving families in the dark about their childrens' condition. When both parent and child have tested positive, doctors have used threats to browbeat families into compliance. In some cases, children as young as 3 months old have reportedly been separated from their breast-feeding mothers."

Can you hear the gut wrenching wails of a scared child? Can you hear the desperation in the parent's voice as they beg to stay see their children? What would you do if a government official tried to forcefully take your child out of your arms? Would you just accept that it's for the greater good?

It bothers me that some people would attempt to justify this behavior -- the government callously separating children from their families -- but what bothers me even more, is that the government assumes it has the authority to do so. If they can lay claim to our offspring, in the name of the greater good, what can they NOT do?

"It's the economy stupid." That phrase is attributed to James Carville, who in 1992 was the campaign strategist for Bill Clinton. In an interesting 2012 article from the Harvard Political Review, this point is applied to then vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden's debate performance. It was a left-on-left conflagration:

"Our disastrous economic and fiscal situation jeopardizes America’s well-being in a way that no other issue does. Yet our vice president’s most memorable contributions to this last debate concerned religion and bygone Supreme Court decisions."

Coming from the pages of a leftist institution, I find it interesting that the authors name was removed from this article "at their request" -- possibly because they were receiving backlash for breaking ranks and pointing out the obvious:

"If we don’t make fixing our economy and changing our fiscal outlook the most important issue in governance, complete economic, military, and social collapse is not an unrealistic consequence."

In fact, many believe it's all part of the plan. Economic reset, at the global level, is an essential element of The Great Reset and the transition to the New World Order -- the one Biden recently assured us is coming. Keep in mind, these concerns about our economic stability we being voiced when the national debt was a mere $16 trillion dollars. In the ten years since, the burden of debt has nearly doubled, jumping to some $30 trillion dollars today.

To put that in perspective, that is nearly $100,000 dollars of debt for every man, woman, and child in America. But even that doesn't really help us grasp the enormity of these numbers.

How about this: If we were to go back in time and walk back the clock say 30,000,000,000,000 seconds -- where would we be? Crunching the numbers, we'd time warp back more than 950 thousand years ago -- shortly after the dinosaurs, but according to historians, still some 850,000 years before the neanderthals were battling with modern humans for global dominance.

Crisis clutters thinking. When there are too many things moving in too many different directions, the mind becomes scattered and begins to lose track of details. This is why politicians never let a good crisis go to waste. The fact that times of crisis tend to short-circuit critical thinking has not been overlooked, but instead, it’s actively being exploited through the fomenting of a perpetual cycle of crisis perpetrated by the global elite.

With that in mind, let's examine this little gem from Tucker Carlson, who brought to light telling comments made way back in 2014, when Nigel Farage (leader of the U.K. Independence Party) offered the following insights:

"This EU empire, ever seeking to expand, stated its territorial claim on the Ukraine some years ago. Just to make that worse, of course, some NATO members said they too would like the Ukraine to join NATO. We directly encouraged the uprising in the Ukraine that led to the toppling of the president, Yanukovych, and that led, of course, in turn to Vladimir Putin reacting and the moral of the story is if you poke the Russian bear with a stick, don't be surprised when he reacts."

Now, the admission that the U.K. had a hand in the "toppling of the president" in Ukraine, way back in 2014, may come as a bit of a surprise to many. This is clearly not the story that's been blaring across the U.S. headlines since Russia decided to "invade" Ukraine on February 24th, 2022 — a move that shocked the world.

Call it a hunch, but the next day, on the February 25th episode “What's The Bigger Picture?,” I presented this provocative question:

What if this was just another power grab by the global cabal?

Digging deeper, on February 26th I released The Ukraine Special Report to Patriot Club members, providing more historical context and exploring some of the strange curiosities surrounding the Ukrainian situation. Among other things brought to light in this report, was the connection between 2014 Ukrainian elections, the Burisma scandal, and Joe Biden's quid quo pro threat to withhold Ukrainian aid...

Rudeness can be contagious. That line comes from an article in the Atlantic titled: Why Are People Acting So Weird? Citing spikes in crimes, alcohol consumption, drug overdoses, unruly passengers on airplanes, and a host of other bizarre behaviors, the assessment summed up situation by pointing out the obvious fact that people are extremely stressed out -- and is there any wonder why?

"Americans don’t really like each other very much right now.”

Have you felt that? There is a certain hostility that seems to hang in the air of public spaces. Even though most mask mandates have been lifted, there are still a lot of people wearing masks -- people who are choosing to wear a mask, whether it be for the sake of virtue signaling or simply because they are still scared witless of COVID-19. Either way, the presence of mask patrons is a raw reminder of the two years of hell we've all suffered, and the countless encounters with mask-nazis that came with it.

Not being able to see a person's face makes it difficult to read their emotions and intent. This creates an inherent disconnect and decreases our ability to empathize and relate to one another. Masks are also a very visual reminder of the deep ideological divides that are destroying our country -- a telltale sign that we are not all on the same team, and we have radically different visions for the future.

On the left, we have acceptance, compliance, and kumbaya, as hordes of useful idiots parroting propaganda as they embrace the new surveillance state and welcome the New World Order.

On the right, we have rejection, frustration, and mobilization of the Liberty Movement, as millions of freedom loving Americans fight to remind neighbors and politicians of the principles that use to unite us.

It's difficult to stake out a middle ground in this game for global control. There are those who are for a new world order, and there those who are against a new world order. There are those who champion the need for more global regulations, ostensibly to combat climate change and save the planet, and there are those who castigate the consolidation of power and control. Who's making the rules here?

Just because you believe it, doesn't make it true. This is a quintessential realization that unfortunately seems to escape the average person much of the time. Rather than scoff at the oversight, it would be wise for us all to accept the reality that this is all part of the human condition. We all believe we are right -- otherwise we wouldn't believe what we believe!

There is a deep and profound truth here, that cuts to the heart of current affairs: We get to choose what we believe in. This should be an incontrovertible statement, though it may seem edgy to some people. It is always uncomfortable when we encounter beliefs that differ from our own. This too is a human thing, and we need not fear a curios exploration of other people's beliefs.

We can choose to suspend judgement, remain curious, and evaluate any given perspective with the logical mind --generating a measured and temperate response, as opposed to an emotional reaction. We can choose to accept or reject the premise, the evidence and facts as presented, specific aspects of the other perspective, or the accept or reject the belief in its entirety. This is all within our control.

Taking this evaluation of beliefs a step further, we can examine our own beliefs -- and we should -- though that can be even more uncomfortable than examining someone else's beliefs. If you find yourself feeling ever-so-slightly disturbed by this line of inquiry, simply take note, take a deep breath, and relax -- this podcast is not going to press into dissecting personal beliefs.

Instead, the intent is to generalize the human experience of "seeing is believing" and understand just how fickle beliefs can be. For example, I used to believe that Carhart was an All-American company that aligned with working class values. Their gear was tough and durable, like me. I've been sporting Carharts for over 30 years, believing the best about the brand I loved.

But then they decided to go woke. When the company decided to force its employees to take an experimental vaccine, or else lose their job, I considered this a violation of basic human rights. Immediately, everything I believed about the company got turned upside down, prompting me to cut the Carhart patch off my coat and contemplate the broader implications of this philosophical shift.

My beliefs had changed, and there was no denying that my feelings had changed too.

Remember 2019? It's seems like ages ago, I know... but it would be prudent to review a few of the more riveting headlines:

  • The Mueller Report -- After nearly two years of investigating the Trump-Russia conspiracy, spending over $30 million dollars and grilling over 500 witnesses, the much anticipated Mueller Report found there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion or obstruction of justice.
  • Julian Assange Arrested -- After exposing classified documents that proved war crimes and egregious abuses of government power, the founder of WikiLeaks was arrested in London, and he continues to be held in a maximum security prison to this day.
  • Creepy Uncle Joe -- After multiple accusers came forward and brought to light Joe Biden's record of creepy behavior, which had been known as an "open secret" in some circles, then-presidential candidate Biden said he was just trying to make a "human connection" and that he'd try to be more respectful of personal space moving forward.

Ah, the drama. It almost seems fickle and lighthearted when we contrast yesteryear with what has transpired since 2019. Two years of being hammered by a pandemic and the on-going threat of global war seem infinitely more important than a few stale headlines -- but before we jump back into current news, there is one more three-year-old story that has aged quite well:

BREAKING NEWS: Ukrainian Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky Elected President!

"Mr Zelensky, a political novice, is best known for starring in a satirical television series Servant of the People, in which his character accidentally becomes Ukrainian president."

Now THAT is entertainment! Imagine it: A comedian with no political experience, who plays a character that "accidentally" becomes president, actually gets elected as president -- and this same character is now starring in the epic global drama 'Russia Versus The World'. Who'd a thunk.

Of course, some claim the Ukrainian election was mired by Russian election interference and corruption, which are familiar sounding allegations. And, keep in mind, shortly after his election Zelensky had a conversation with another TV personality-turned-president -- Donald Trump -- which ultimately led to calls of impropriety and impeachment, after Trump asked him to look into the now well-documented Biden-Burisma scandal.

Does anyone still believe this is all just coincidence?

There are no coincidences. Last night I received news that the Lyle city council nearly passed a modified version of the Paris Climate Accords -- until one astute citizen stood up and ask a simple question: What about wood stoves? Building on that, we might ask: Is staying warm more important global warming?

In a delusional obsession to save the planet from the plague of humanity, so-called "progressives" are determined to dictate how every person on the planet gets to live their life. For the global elite, it's more 'rules for thee, but not for me' as they curse fossil fuels from the comfort of their plush private jets. But, for the local activists, it's a moral imperative to transform our local community is socialist cesspool by shaming community leaders into compliance with globalist policies.

This week's podcasts have focused on the merging of the 'covid crisis' with the 'climate crisis', which is a transition of narrative intended to accelerate the UN Agenda 2030. We've explored how seeking to regulate humanity with Sustainable Development Goals inherently restricts personal liberty, local autonomy, and critical thinking -- and how all of this is part of the Great Reset.

Even after making these predictions, learning that a local city council was nearly duped into enacting this agenda was disturbing. It's so close to home, and so close to passing, it weighs heavy on my heart.

But, rather than get bogged down in the climate debate, let's zoom out to the bigger picture by asking a provocative question: Was the United Nations founded by Communists?

*cue the record scratch!*

Again, there are no coincidences. Part of the meeting last night was a history lesson that presented the curious possibility that this was in fact the case. I learned names that I had not heard before, like Alger Hiss and Vyacheslav Molotov, both of whom had been instrumental in the drafting and implementation of UN Charter. I was presented with pictures of Franklin Delano Roosevelt posing alongside Joseph Stalin. It seemed so crazy, I had to spend extra time this morning digging into this segment of history, to confirm what I was heard was actually true -- and it was.

All of the sudden, several piece of the puzzle snapped together in my mind.

Many of the people who helped draft the UN charter were in fact communists. They were proud communists, and those who worked alongside them were proud democrats. Lumped together, these two parties shared the progressive values that cast the vision of a world full of peace and harmony -- a socialistic, collectivist vision that required global leadership and full international compliance.

In some circles, people speculate that communists have co-opted the modern democrat party. Is this just an outrageous conspiracy? Or, could this actually have been happening, gradually, over the last 100 years or so? Could today's democratic party, either knowingly or unwittingly, be implementing the principles outlined in the Communist Manifesto? I suppose that is up for you to decide.

Extracting the narrative from today's headlines, we find the following:

  • BlackRock CEO Larry Fink declares the Ukraine invasion is accelerating the shift to digital currency, including Central Bank Digital Currencies supported by the supranational IMF.

"Fink has made clear the conflict in Ukrainian is being used as an accelerator to reorganize the global economy as the old world order crumbles and a multipolar world emerges .. and the WEF's agenda of a green new world, more corporate surveillance, and trackable money are inevitable this decade."

This does not come as a surprise, but rather, highlights just how bold and confident the global cabal have become. They are 100% confident that the New World Order will be established this decade. Not coincidentally, this coincides directly with the UN Agenda 2030, which has been in place since the 90's. Now that President Biden and the world largest asset manager are openly talking about it, the New World Order must no longer be a vast right-wing conspiracy -- now it's the inevitable future that we all must embrace. Is resistance futile? Time will tell.

  • The U.S. is said to be welcoming 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, as the national security officials quietly assemble a Tiger Team to address nuclear contingencies, should Putin go full-tilt crazy.

"Just a month ago, such scenarios seemed more theoretical. But today, from the White House to NATO’s headquarters in Brussels, a recognition has set in that Russia may turn to the most powerful weapons in its arsenal to bail itself out of a military stalemate."

This continuing escalation in rhetoric is meant to inject even greater uncertainty into an already unstable situation. How should the U.S. respond if Russia use weapons of mass destruction in the Ukraine? We are told this is not Biden's decision alone, but instead, "The bottom line is this is a NATO decision." Doesn't that imply that U.S. forces are now be directed by unelected global leaders? While again not surprising, this is yet another open admission of the transition to globalist control.

Most will never see it coming. But, those curious enough to question the narrative will certainly be able anticipate what happens next. Recently we have been talking about the World Economic Forum, the cabal of Young Global Leaders, and the merging of public health with environmental health as the next phase of the Great Reset.

It may seem outrageous to think that anyone one person or group of people is actually actively trying to take over the world -- such extraordinary claims should require extraordinary evidence -- and that is exactly what we will explore in today's podcast. Let me open with this passage from COVID-19: The Great Reset, written by Klaus Schwab, president of the World Economic Forum:

"While for a pandemic, a majority of citizens will tend to agree with the necessity to impose coercive measures, they will resist constraining policies in the case of environmental risks where the evidence can be disputed." p.136

Unpacking that passage, we see that the global elite have a firm grasp on human behavior and psychology. They understand that when people are scared for their life, they are willing to "agree" to coercive measures -- which is an oxymoronic statement. Consider the definition of coercion:

"The intimidation of a victim to compel the individual to do some act against his or her will by the use of psychological pressure, physical force, or threats."

One does not agree to coercion. Instead, individuals cave to the threats and intimidation. Indeed, entire nations may cave to the coercive pressures imposed by a more dominant global force. Regardless of which level takes place, it is typically considered illegal to threaten and force a person to do something against their will. Many argue that to do so is an open violation of basic human rights.

This is especially true when it comes to covering another human's face, restricting their breathing, shoving a swab up their nose, sticking a needle in their arm, or testing and tracking their every move for the purpose of quarantining them, should they be suspected of being infected.

All of this is exceptionally dystopian, like the quintessential Orwellian state, and would have never been accepted prior to the covid pandemic. According to Klaus Schwab, the majority of people "agreed" to these "coercive measures" because they were scared of an invisible enemy. He then laments the fact that people are likely to resist such restrictions if the justification was disputable environmental risks.

From the angle of global control, this creates a major problem. Climate change is the harbinger of the ultimate global health crisis. Humanity, it is claimed, is destroying the planet -- and in order to preserve Mother Earth for future generations, the global elite have a very chilling plan. They intent to control and manipulate public behavior, in effect restricting the natural behavior of every human being.

What is critical to remember is this: Compliance is not optional.

The headlines are full of head-fakes. Whether it's Russian war crimes, Russian hyper-sonic missiles, Russian forces killing innocent civilians, Russian cyber attacks, or now the news reports that Belarus is "preparing to invade" the Ukraine -- all of this is happening a long way from home. It's not that it doesn't matter, it's just not most important.

Often times, the most important news is what we are not seeing in the headlines. Here are three examples of events that will have a massive impact on every American citizen, that you may not be paying attention to:

  1. The appointment of the new Covid Czar, globalist professor Ashish Jha. When Biden made the announcement last week, he said, "our work in combating COVID is far from done." Mr. Jha, who was a professor of Global Health at Harvard, is known to be a "public health giant" who has close connections with the World Health Organization and has big plans to decarbonize health care, not just in the U.S., but globally -- because we have a "responsibility to extensively decarbonize our institutions for the sake of our patients and people around the world."
  2. The only thing that globalists need to enforce their radical green agenda, is enough useful idiots to vote for their ridiculous and illogical policies. This is nothing more than a ruse used to consolidate power and control by conditioning the populace to feel afraid and guilty for destroying the planet. But make no mistake, the climate agenda is an integral part of the Great Reset, and this talking point will become increasingly central in their strategy moving forward.
  3. To further leverage these useful idiots, progressives have been pushing for a National Popular Vote initiative -- which has already passed in 16 states. Washington state was the fifth state to pass this law in 2009 (RCW 29A.56.300). It is critical to realize they are shockingly close to pulling an end run around the Electoral College and capturing U.S. elections forevermore.

They have already captured enough states to secure 195 electoral votes -- which means they are just 75 electoral votes from pulling this off. The yellow and orange states have already advanced legislation, which would add another 88 electoral votes and effectively secure mob rule forever.

How in the heck is this possible?! Progressive organizations like the Public Leadership Institute have been working tirelessly to implement the globalist agenda at the state and local level for decades. Using the science of persuasion and strategies spelled out in Voicing Our Values ...

COVID-19 is not over. Dr. Fauci says that the virus has "fooled us before," and even though many people seem grateful that the government has lifted their tyrannical mandates, we need to be prepared to pivot and "re-institute some of those restrictions" at whatever point it becomes politically expedient to do so.

Of course, that's not exactly how he said it.

What are the chances this will happen just before the election? Imagine the public being freaked out about a new, more virulent and deadly variant. Imagine lockdowns and social distancing, along with testing and vaccine requirements, wreaking havoc on in-person voting. Imagine the howling cries for more mail in ballots -- to keep people safe -- because everyone has a right to vote.

Imagine ballot counts coming in long after the election is over -- because of covid. Imagine the public trust in election results plummeting lower than ever, the outcome of the election being contested, the legal process being drug out through court, while the American people get drug through the mud of political corruption, all under the cover of the next covid variant.

Don't think it can't happen. Many people already believe that COVID-19 was a tool used to steal the last presidential election. Is it just coincidence that some politicians are trying to pass legislation making it illegal to public question the outcome of elections? When is the last time you heard anyone talking about Dominion Voting Systems? According to forensic examiners, electronic voting system have "significant and pervasive vulnerabilities" that could be used to facilitate massive voter fraud.

Did you catch that? The liberal media is attempting to convince the American people that President Vladimir Putin is the equivalent of President Donald Trump, and by extension, anyone who supports Trump is essentially supporting a populist Russian tyrant. This convolution implies guilt by association, and more importantly, capitalizes on the delusion that anyone who questions the narrative is a terrorist.

Speaking to an energized crowd of more than 200,000 Russian patriots, Putin declared:

“We have not had unity like this for a long time.”

The Russians erupted in a round of thunderous applause that Joe Biden could only dream of.

Meanwhile, here in the United States, our country remains bitterly divided as we are led ever closer to complete societal collapse, under the incompetent and corrupt Biden administration. They have no plans for healing our country or rebuilding our once great nation. Indeed, that is not their intent.

Instead, our elected leaders have become brute authoritarians, as they march in lockstep with the globalist forces that are implementing the Great Reset. Seeing that the world is in chaos, we must not lose sight of the fact that this is all being orchestrated to facilitate the destruction all aspects of existing society.

Predictable patterns are at play. Yesterday, The People's Convoy encountered police resistance, angry protesters, and a hostile press as they leaned into the headwinds and attempted to exercise their constitutional rights in Washington DC. Following along with the truckers live dash cam made it a heart thumping experience.

At one point a man on a motorcycle cut in front of a big rig, slammed on the brakes, laid down the bike, and started yelling at the trucker. The altercation escalated until the biker lunged at the trucker, and two fellow truckers stepped in and subdued the maniacal democrat. In an different event, a white pickup zipped in front of a semi and slammed on the brakes, brake-checking the trucker, who was unable to stop before bumping into the pickup.

All of this, including the police response, was caught on multiple live feeds -- and though these videos substantiate the irrefutable truth that these truckers are being targeted by antagonists (the motorcycle guy was later seen laughing it up with police alongside a closed off-ramp), the reality is that the media has spun up a narrative that makes it sounds like the truckers are mucking up the DC metro area.

Here's where the pattern emerges: The police barricaded numerous exits with dump trucks, blocking traffic into the DC area, which caused a nightmare for local commuters. The media then blames The People's Convoy for causing the mess, and public frustration is turned on the truckers.

The side that is causing the problem, is blaming the other side for causing the problem. Both sides have footage of what really happened, but that becomes irrelevant as the optics and narrative begin to shape public perception of the event. Here the media establishment simply dominates any attempts at objective reporting, overwhelming the truth with a flood of carefully crafted propaganda.

Where else do we see this pattern playing out right now? Consider these threads from the Great Russian Invasion narrative:

  • We are told that Russia was using false flag events to justify invading Ukraine.
  • We are told that Russia may be using covert chemical attacks against the Ukrainians.
  • We are told that Russia has been killing innocent civilians, including 100's of children.
  • We are told that Russia is on a mission to reclaim Ukraine and rebuild the Soviet Union.
  • We are told that Russia is suffering huge losses and the Russian people are pissed at Putin.

On Wednesday, in a rare moment of "speaking from the heart," President Biden declared that Putin was a "war criminal" -- an accusation the Russian government said was "unforgivable". Beyond the heated rhetoric, our own national media has openly acknowledged that the Russian people are getting an entirely different story. According to Russian media sources, the story goes like this:

We are in the midst of the Great Reset and everything that we are experiencing right now, all the turbulence and chaos that has rocked the globed, is all part of a very strategic plan. The covid pandemic (aka the "plandemic") was just one step in series steps that are intended to disrupt global society and usher in the New World Order. This is not speculation or conspiracy -- these plans have been in place for decades, perhaps even a hundred years or more.

The battle of the modern era is a battle for the hearts and minds of humanity. The intent is to overcome the primal impulse of free will by convincing and conditioning the masses to accept subjugation and servitude, under the guise of the greater good.

To do so, the global elites have mastered the craft of manipulating public perception using highly sophisticated propaganda. They now have proven techniques to bio-hack humanity, not just through traditional psychological and physiological hooks, but now through direct genetic therapy and complete immersion in carefully constructed house of mirrors.

The Ukraine-Russia conflict offers a prime example of how this plays out in real-time. Consider this quote from a recent NPR article:

"Whereas global reporting has largely focused on the suffering of Ukrainian civilians, Russians are offered a starkly different story at home. Their screens present accounts of a humanitarian Kremlin mission — one in which "surgical" airstrikes target Ukrainian nationalists and spare civilians, where American agents seek to deploy anti-Russian bioweapons and where Ukraine's leaders are hellbent on acquiring nuclear weapons to attack the Russian homeland."

How does that compare to the story spilling out across American headline news? We are shown emotional pleas from Zelensky, who anchors his appeal in the deep psychological scars of 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. We are told that Russia has launched a brutal attack on Ukrainian values, which of course are to assume are the very same democratic values of the Western alliance. This is not by accident.

The once unthinkable is now totally possible.

This paraphrase of recent comments made by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, captures the reality of the world we now live in. What was unthinkable just a few short years ago -- forced masking, lockdowns, forced vaccinations, quarantine camps, etc -- has now become modus operandi for our bloated and power-hungry government.

Here's the quote in context:

Raising the alert level of Russian nuclear forces is a bone-chilling development,” says Guterres, as he continues to wrap his globalist propaganda in these tantalizing words of assurance: “The prospect of nuclear conflict, once unthinkable, is now back within the realm of possibility.”

His choice of words is telling: "Officials warned there could have been a potential nuclear disaster." (note the emphasis added). We are told that we must "stop the horror" and support the "appeals for peace" that can only be had when the evil Russians are defeated, and the people of Ukraine are securely under the wing of Western influence. This is propaganda at it's finest.

Let's not forget there are millions of Americans who are rallying across our own country, pleading for tyrannical government thugs to "stop the horror" of the outrageous covid policies that have ravaged our nation for the last two years. We The People are making "appeals for peace" from coast to coast, desperately demanding our basic human rights be respected -- like the right to breathe freely, the right to gather and peacefully assemble, the right to travel and visit family and friends, the right to question the shady and always shifting science, the right to speak freely about what's going on without fear of censorship and social repercussions, the right to engage life without being tested like a lab rat or being jabbed with an experimental gene therapy -- if these rights continue to be violated, conflict becomes inevitable.

That is the message that needs to be drilled into the minds of our elected leaders.

The silence is deafening. Have you heard about the millions of people all across the country who are fed up with the medical tyranny and gross violations of their constitutional and basic human rights? Did you know people have been rallying all across the country for two weeks, demanding accountability for our corrupt politicians, and showing up en masse to make sure their voices are heard?

There is more happening in any given moment, than any one of us can fully comprehend. Perhaps that's just stating the obvious, but the weight of this truth pressed deeply into my mind as I flew past big cities and small towns, absorbing over 6,200 miles of scenery and experience over the last 10 days.

I left home March 1st to join The People's Convoy, taking radically uncomfortable action to make a stand for freedom, to lend my voice to the choir, and help the truckers deliver a message to Washington DC: Enough is enough.

"We the People are pissed off!"

That sentiment was scrawled across many vehicles in the convoy. Thousands of vehicles, tens of thousands of patriots rallying on virtually every overpass from coast to coast, millions of Americans across the country are tired of being trampled, tired of being treating like lab rats, and tired of being told how they can and cannot live their lives.

The main thrust of the message is this: End the mandates and revoke the Emergency Powers.

Put bluntly, we want our country back... but what does that mean?

I've been on the road for nine days and I'm still 2,000 miles from home.

When I heard that American truckers and patriots were going to convoy across the country and converge on Washington DC, something stirred deep within me. It felt as if this event was destined to be history in the making, like the American people were finally fed up and ready to make stand for freedom.

As I traveled across the country, I saw thousands of people lining up on overpasses, waving flags and signs of support, demonstrating that they were with us in spirit as the convoy rolled on toward DC. The show of patriotism moved me to tears more than once, and it fueled my conviction that this was in fact a historic event.

When I caught up with The People's Convoy in Indianapolis, what I saw was over-whelming. I have never seen so many American patriots gathered in one place in my entire life. The energy was incredible, the excitement was palpable, and the out-pouring of generosity was astounding.

Every person there had taken a courageous step into the unknown. It was impossible to know how things would all play out, impossible to know what would lie ahead, along the thousands of miles of open road, and impossible to know how we would be received in DC.

To be sure, there were many murmurs of concern.

Was this going to be another event like January 6th?

Rumors were the DC police were waiting and willing to arrest anyone, essentially for any reason. Would we be taken as political prisoners? Some people felt like we were driving into a trap, but it was a risk we were all willing to take. Through the screech of the bullhorn, we were repeatedly told not to break any laws -- because they were just looking for a reason to break this convoy up.

I have never been so proud of my country.

Driving 2500+ miles in the last four days has been grueling. It make's me appreciate what the trucker's do all the more. It's not just that they are the backbone of our country, delivering food and goods from coast to coast, it's that they're on the road, away from home, driving hard, day after day, mile after mile, year after year -- and the effort takes it's toll.

Out on the road today, pushing in toward DC this evening, the momentum of the convoy continues to grow. Tens of thousands of people are showing up in supporting. As I've said, it's deeply moving.

Podcast production has proven to be challenging while I'm flying down the road and sleeping in the car. Rather than fussing about it, I figure I'll just keep it real, raw, and relevant to this historical occasion. How will this all play out? Nobody knows. Stay tuned and find out!

The mainstream media is mum on what's happening, so please help get the word out! Share this podcast with a friend and invite people into the Telegram group -- the American people need to know that this is history in the making!

Thank you all for your generous support!

Sincerely,

Luke

Freedom is spreading like wildfire. The media is trying to pretend like this isn't happening -- like there aren't millions of Americans rallying from coast to coast, taking a stand, and making some SERIOUS noise for freedom.

But it is happening.

I know it's happening, because I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

Being in the presence of so many passionate patriots is a powerful and moving experience. It's hard to fully capture the scope and weight of it... today's podcast again comes from the front lines, as The People's Convoy rolls out and hits the road.

The rally last night was momentous. It was moving. Thousands upon thousands of people were flooding into to the event, excited to be part of history in the making. It was easily one of the most uplifting experiences in my life. The energy was incredible. Words fall short.

Dear friends,

There are times in life when the path forward is uncertain, unclear, and ultimately unknown. It's scary when our predictable patterns get interrupted, like what's happened over the last two years of covid hysteria. In times like this, it is easy to become paralyzed by fear. What is a person to do?

How do we know if we're on the right path? How do we know for sure that any given path is the best path forward? The short answer is that we must trust. We must move with faith, following an intuitive trusting heart, as I like to say. There is a guiding force that moves within us, through us, that surrounds us, compels us, inspires us, that protects us, prods us, and presents a path less taken.

The proverbial fork in the road often arrives when we least expect it. There are defining moments in life when unforeseen events bring us face to face with an unexpected choice. We must choose wisely, we must navigation these decisions with conviction and honor the whispers of our heart.

These are the times when the spirit within us rises up, our hearts glow, and we go boldly into in the wild unknown. These are the times we take uncomfortable action, when the mind squirms with discomfort, when insecurities seek to sabotage, when courage may falter and our life may collapse into the comfort of what's familiar, what's safe, and what feels certain or sure.

These are the moments that we must dig deep, that we must determine for ourselves what kind of life we want to live, and muster the inner strength to bravely step onto the road less traveled. Only by doing so, can we release ourselves from the shackles of fear and mediocrity.

There is always a bigger picture. As the world seems to go increasingly mad, there is enough going on in any given moment it's enough to make your head spin. Global, national, state-level, and local politics are constantly competing for our attention. What news and information is most important? What should we tune into? Where should we direct our attention?

Where do they want to direct our attention?

Imagine it somewhat like a swarm of bees, buzzing around your head. Anyone of them could sting you at any moment, and they all pose an existential threat. You could try in vain to swat at them all, but you'd just be wasting your energy, swinging at thin air, before ultimately getting stung in the backside.

So it is with the propaganda that's being simultaneously spoon-fed and slung at us with full force. Consider this small smattering of headline news:

  • According to U.S. defense officials, Russia is encountering more resistance than they had anticipated as they invade Ukraine and push toward the capitol Kyiv.
  • President Biden has announced that Putin is trying to rebuild the old Soviet Union, saying he has goals beyond Ukraine, and he "may have other countries in his sights."When pressed on the source of this information, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said:

"You don't need intelligence to tell you that that's exactly what President Putin wants," the top U.S. diplomat said. "He's made clear that he'd like to reconstitute the Soviet empire. Short of that, he'd like to reassert a sphere of influence around neighboring countries that were once part of the Soviet bloc. And short of that, he'd like to make sure that all of these countries are somehow neutral."

  • Meanwhile, China's foreign minister has made it clear that “Russia’s reasonable security concerns should be respected and taken seriously,” which is being interpreted as a "tacit approval" of the Ukrainian invasion -- much to the chagrin of U.S. State Department.
  • Simultaneously we are told that Russia and the PRC want a new world order that is "profoundly illiberal," and U.N. officials tell us that Russian aggression will bring "tidal waves of suffering."
  • The good news is that our favorite friends over in Taiwan are standing in solidarity with our shared democratic principles, and will impose sanctions against the Russian evil-doers.
  • That announcement comes on the heels of President Biden stating rather bluntly that "no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening." The sanction, he reveals, were so that the people of Russia feel the pain of Putin going rogue.

Now, let that sink in. They knew sanctions were not going to stop anything from happening, but they were going to inflict pain on the Russian people -- so that they know what Putin has brought down upon them. The goal is to turn the people of Russia against their president.

There is evil in the world. It may seem obvious, but it's worth stating at the outset that evil people do evil things, always for their own selfish gain, and always at the cost of causing harm to other people. This is a fact that will never go away -- there will always be evil in the world, and that is a fact that we all must face.

It's easy to denote our ideological opponents as enemies. It's convenient to cast them as evil characters. And, while we no doubt will find agreement within our own personal alliances, it is critical to remember that those on the "other side" -- those we would call evil -- very likely see us as evil in return.

Thus, the battle between good and evil, in the simplest sense, can be described as a battle for control of the hearts and minds of humanity. We will always take sides. We will always see those who seek to control us as enemies. Within this framework, we will always have conflict. We will always have war.

Today we awake to the horrifying news that Russia has launched a full-scale military attack against Ukraine. Airstrikes and artillery have wounded untold numbers of people. There is an imminent threat of kicking up nuclear dust from the Chernobyl site in the north, and the even greater threat of an all out nuclear war should the world interfere with Putin's plans.

This is all very real, very serious, and it carries heavy implications for world at large. Citizens around the globe are now gripped by the graphic images of bloodied civilians, smoldering ruins, and the charred remains of once peaceful communities. We see military equipment moving through city streets, war planes dropping from the sky, and the bright flashes of massive explosions.

It's almost too much to handle, too much to process, to much to make sense of. How can these be happening? How is this going to play out? How will it end? As simple citizens, we simply must watch and see. Stay tuned. Stay glued to the tube. Wait and see how the world responds.

Concepts are contagious. As I've dug through reams of political treaties, charters, and global agreements, certain patterns have emerged. In particular, the use of language to capture concepts -- a very natural phenomenon -- allows the dissemination of ideas to spread around the globe.

On it's face, this is a fantastic boon for humanity. Sharing information fuels innovation and accelerates inventions. A good example of this is the release of a new COVID-19 vaccine, Corbevax, which recent received EUA in India. But this vaccine comes with a bonus:

“They’re basically giving out the recipe to allow the vaccine to be made inexpensively. It’s a very cool thing and can be critical to getting more people in the world vaccinated against COVID-19.”

This all sounds very benevolent, until we read their true intent: "We need to vaccinate the world."

Thus, we find the connection with the U.N. Agenda 2030 -- to vaccinate every person on the planet, whether they want it or need it or not -- which is being driven by the global cabal.

Back to the patterns of language and the spread of contagious ideas: By changing the way that we talk about things -- as well as the things we talk about -- global leaders can effectively steer society in any desired direction. This herding of humanity has both positive and negative potential.

Perpetual conflict is worse than war. Why is that? Because, in theory, war has the finite objective to put an end to conflict. Warring factions finally clash and have it out, and one the dust settles, peace can ensue. It's like the classic school yard scrap, and once all the hooting and hollering is over, everybody just goes home.

Unfortunately, war on the global scale is much more messy. People die. Cities are destroyed. Innocent people suffer. The destruction of war decimates the civilian population, all the while lining the coffers of the war machine, and the coffins of brave young souls.

War is a terrible thing, but it is not as dangerous or destructive as perpetual conflict.

Perpetual conflict is driven by an ideological battle that is rooted in opposite beliefs. Perpetual conflict means there will be no peace, not now, not someday soon, not ever. Perpetual conflict fuels perpetual wars, pushing humanity further still, toward genocide and the elimination of entire cultures.

Someone is lying. Everyday we are bombarded with information -- more information that we can possibly process, vet, or fact check. As a result, we find comfort in trusted news sources, such as the Good Morning Goldendale podcast, where real people conduct real analysis, without a hidden agenda.

Allegations of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are lobbed about without any accountability. These labels allow low-information individuals -- those who haven't the time or inclination to think for themselves -- to hide behind the authority of state propaganda.

But, as commonsense makes clear, not everyone gets to be right. That means, when two sides are presenting diametrically opposed perspectives, telling the public radically different stories, someone is either grossly misinformed, or being blatantly dishonest. Instinct indicates the latter.

Let's not forget that the Communist Manifesto expressly states the intent to destroy every aspect of existing society, by lying and concealing their intentions with twisted language that has "a hidden, higher, socialistic interpretation." In short, they admit to being deceitful.

It is within this framework of intentional deception, we wade into the headlines:

There is something strange going on. Actually, there is a lot of strange going on:

  • Scientists say the sun has been erupting non-stop and "Giant Flares" are incoming.
  • Omicron subvariant BA.2, aka the "Stealth" variant is showing signs of increased severity.
  • Canadian police are going door-to-door arresting the leaders of the Trucker protest.
  • NBC Nightly News is boldly asking why BLM is posting bail for a political assassin.
  • War drums keep drumming, but Ukrainefeels light the threat of escalation is low.

Setting all that aside, right here in Washington state, we find "most" mask mandates are being lifted on March 21st -- though Inslee insists he has the authority to force a mask on your face in certain cases, like on public transportation, school buses, hospitals, outpatient and dental offices, long-term care settings, correctional facilities or any other arbitrarily selected location.

Of course: Mask rules apply differently if you are unvaccinated.

Inslee also announced that he will be dropping Vaccine Verification requirements -- aka, "show me your papers" -- on March 1st. Why March 1st? Because that is the day he's decided to give you your freedom back -- but only some of your freedom, and only if you are vaccinated.

Chaos abounds. But none of this is as important as what we've been talking about this week, namely the connection between the globalist agenda and the battle at our local library, the ideological gridlock, the common enemy of every American -- those who are attempting to corrupt our culture from within, to destroy our society, steal our freedom, and enslave our children.

Can they really take over the world? We've talked a lot about the global elites using Communist tactic to try and take over the world. To some, this seems like an outlandish conspiracy theory. To others it simply seems obvious.

The questions of imminent importance is: How are they going to pull it off? The answer is, by driving a wedge between "us and them" -- by turning people against each other, stirring hostility and mistrust between various social factions.

The strategy is tried and true, as it has been deployed effectively throughout history around the globe. Let's not lose sight of the Communist's end game, as stated in their Manifesto:

  • Communists do not conceal their aim: "They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions." (p102)

Communists deploy an army of "useful idiots" to spread their deceit throughout a population. They trick people into accepting their ideas by twisting language, specifically by using words that have "a hidden, higher, socialistic interpretation, the exact contrary of its real character." (p86)

Think about that: They twist language, saying one thing but actually meaning the exact contrary. That is straight out of the manifesto. They proclaim social harmony, but aim to destroy existing society. Their stated goal is to win the world -- and that means we lose.

"This is not about freedom." Joe Biden's voice has been ringing through the Democrat echo-chamber, and seeping into the utter void of rational thought amongst liberal pundits. Consider these quotes:

  • "This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you," the president said in prepared remarks.
  • "I love how people talk about personal freedom. If your exercising personal freedom puts someone else in jeopardy, their health in jeopardy, I don't consider that being very, dealing with freedom." Not only does this sound incoherent, it is flies in the face of logic.
  • Mocking people for making medical choice a political issue, Biden snarks: “‘I have the freedom to kill you with my Covid,’ I mean come on, freedom."

I want to pick these statements apart line-by-line, and tear into the underlying ideology, but first, let's get a baseline for an old fashioned American perspective:

"[Sometimes] in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another... to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them..."

The Declaration of Independence expresses self-evident truths, that we are all endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among those are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.

Wait for it.... hold... WAIT..... Nope. Nevermind. It was all just failed propaganda.

At least according to Vladimir Putin. U.S. war hawks in the Biden administration now look like fools. Just yesterday the MSM was frothing at the mouth over the announcement that Russia planned to invade on Wednesday -- it was imminent, the tension was palpable.

But now that their military exercise are over, Russian forces are withdrawing from the border, and heading back to base. The pentagon is actively monitoring the situation, but CNN, always the most astute reporters in the room, assures us that there is no de-escalation yet.

My initial take that it was all just a distraction is now being discussed by our friends over at Townhall.com, wjp are actively questioning whether or not the is all just a hoax. Just another sham brought to us courtesy of the Biden administration. Which brings me back to questions I've been asking:

What if this is just a distraction? A distraction from what? Bad polling data, the president's mental decline? Rampant inflation and bare shelves? Unconstitutional mandates, suffering children, and the destruction of on entire way of life? What are they trying to distract us from?

I can almost hear the cooing and snapping fingers of an adult distracting a child. Can you?

War drums are drumming. Tension is brimming in Eastern Europe. Has this become more than just a distraction? Do they plan to go through with it? Is the world going to war? Everybody's asking!

The threat of war has escalated dramatically in the last week. Here's what up:

  • U.S. State Department spook Ned Price accused Russians of staging fake videos to justify a military invasion. When asked for evidence, the response was: "I'm sorry you are doubting the information that is in the possession of the U.S. government."
  • Why would we ever even conceive of doubting our government? Perhaps because they have a long established track record of lying. Or, potentially because we are skeptical that this was just a ploy to justify maneuvering troops, and further put pressure on Russia.
  • Along with thousands of troop moving into the area, off the coast on the other side of the country, Russian war ships just chased away a U.S. Submarine. Russians claim the sub was in territorial waters, but the U.S. disputes this claim. The question is: Who gets to decide?
  • The situation is tense enough that diplomats are being evacuated from various embassies, and Americans are being told to get out of the country and stay away from Ukraine.
  • As of Saturday, February 12th, 2022, the headlines are lit up with signals of imminent war and Biden has warned Putin of "swift and severe" consequences should Russia choose to invade -- or, perhaps, if some sinister intelligence agency stages some footage, just to spark it all off.
  • The Kremlin claims that an “atmosphere of unprecedented hysteria” is being artificially inflated by the U.S, warning that the situation "has simply been brought to the point of absurdity."

What is clear, is that the situation could quickly spiral out of control. One slip of the trigger might set off another shot heard round the world. It could be an accident. It could be intentional. It could be little more that political posturing gone wrong. But does anyone really win in war?

You from around here? When metro transplants try forcing their agenda in Small Town U.S.A., people notice.

The wise may wonder: Is this a coordinated infiltration?

In today's discussion, we consider this possibility in light of recent events at the local library. It would appear that American culture is being assaulted on multiple fronts, and the very least we can do, is talk about it.

Today's write up is short, but the audio is all heart!

Politics have displaced science. It's not just the repugnant hypocrisy of the Left, desperate to maintain their political power, that is disturbing. It is the speed with which the story has changed, and the fact the the lemmings are following right along.

The public has been told to "trust the science" repeatedly -- ad nausea -- while politicians like Dr. Fauci and Democrat leaders continually tweak the science, casually disregarding decades of unassailable truth, manipulating the numbers, and erroneously modeling whatever outcome they need to shape the narrative.

Science itself has taken on a new identity. No longer is science a process of questioning and testing hypotheses. Now science is the the sacred word of government officials -- most of whom are too dull to think for themselves, have zero understanding of underlying studies, and are mired in myriad conflicts of interest.

Not only have the sheep been trained to trust the government's "science" with unwavering faith and allegiance, they have been conditioned to fear and feel threatened by anyone who questions the sanctity of all the lies.

The future is uncertain. Is the end near? With just nine short months before the midterm elections, democratic politicians and public health officials have found a new love for freedom. Dr. Fauci is out today telling Americans that we are almost out of the "full blown pandemic" phase of COVID-19.

That begs the question: What will the next phase look like?

Fauci is dropping some clues: "There is no way we are going to eradicate this virus," he says, warning that, "local health departments might bring back certain restrictions," if regional outbreaks occur. And of course, we know they'll be testing the sewers to let us know when that happens.

So they are teasing a little hope for the poor exhausted peasants who still trust what the government says. Meanwhile, other headlines keep the fear alive, reminding us that Omicron is still ravaging the world -- with DEATHS having increased by 70% in that last few weeks.

What do Canadian truckers and crack addicts have in common? 

They both have free will.

This episode is a heart-to-heart about the underlying problems that plague society, and why government solutions continue to fail. 

Humanity  is messy. The spirit of freedom, the expression of individual liberty,  manifests in many forms. The instinctual urge to do things our own way  is as undeniable as it is irrepressible.

Acknowledging this is a critical step in finding practical solutions to societal  issues -- central control and more government programs are clearly not  the answer.

What goes in, must come out. The Federal government has been monitoring the feces of some 53 million Americans for a few years now. Described as a "grassroots effort" by academics researchers, the CDC is rapidly ramping up the program, expanding the National Wastewater Surveillance System from 400 to 650 collection sites -- a nearly 65% increase.

"Wastewater surveillance serves as an early warning system for the emergence of COVID-19 in a community,” according to Dr. Amy Kirby, director of the program. "With the expansion, “more communities will have the opportunity to use this tool to help guide their public health decision making."

It's all very fascinating. The ability to collect human DNA and viral RNA from wastewater never really occurred to me. By extension, the fact that this could be used by the State as another surveillance program, which according to Dr. Kirby is, "uniquely powerful," because it can monitor people without symptoms, also never occurred to me.

But there is a theme here. Think about all the testing sites that have cropped up the last two years. Think about how quickly people have simply accepted their role as lab rats for the government. Why do you think they want to collected genetic data and track people who are not actually sick?

The globalist grip is tightening. We know it. We feel it. We sense it.

We know it because of the orchestrated supply chain interruptions -- oops, now the shelves are running bare and we can't get what we need. They want to blame the freedom loving truckers, but the reality is that powerful forces are strategically moving pieces on the global stage.

There is no doubt: Everything that is happening right now, is all about money and power.

And just like that, lives are turned to dust. Today we wake up to the shocking news that the latest and greatest ISIS leader -- Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, his wife and his innocent children -- in a three-story compound somewhere in Syria. The Biden administration believes this will be a big blow to ISIS. I believe they are wrong.

They are fighting against ideas and ideals, love of family and God, the sincerest religious convictions we can imagine. Imagine believing so strongly, that if you set off a bomb and blow up your entire family, who would instantly be together again, reaping your rewards in heaven. Now that's some serious faith!

Evidently this guy did NOT get his FunVax.

But let's pivot back to a broader reality for moment. What else is going on in the news today?

We are each born wild and free. Within each breath and heartbeat, the spirit of freedom flows through our veins. Freedom is our birth right, an innate and inseparable aspect of our humanity.

In this sense, freedom is always free, and it's always available. Freedom is just a heartbeat away, and it can never be taken away, unless we give away, or it is forcefully taken from us by an enemy.

When we say the words, "Give me liberty or give me death!" this is the battle cry of freedom; "Live free or die!" is not just a state motto, it is the rallying cry of the American Spirit. The love of freedom, the love of life, the love of liberty, the love of God and country -- these are the great American traditions that under attack today.

We will defend it? It will require sacrifice. It will require responsibility. It will require taking uncomfortable action.

What are you willing to do? How much abuse are you willing to take, before you get mad enough to do something about it? How long will you let them stomp on your face, take your money, and threaten your family?

Are you just going to let them steal your freedom forever? Am I? Are we? HELL NO!!!

They say sit down, shut up, and do as your told -- be a good citizen they say. Be a good slave.

I say stand up, push back, and FIGHT for what's rightfully yours -- be a COURAGEOUS citizen!

I DO NOT CONSENT! I'm talking about courageous non-compliance. We must have courage, take heart, feel the spirit within you come alive at the call of freedom -- Give me liberty or give me death!

The time is now. There is no time to lose. We cannot waste another day. We must do something, anything, and everything we can to correct course and get our country back on track. We must reclaim our rights, our Constitutional rights, our basic human rights -- We must reclaim our right to be free!

But don't expect it to be easy. We didn't just get here over night. This battle has been brewing since the dawn of time, and history tells us that now and then the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots -- never forget those who have died for our right to be free, to breathe free air, to live in a free country.

Freedom isn't really free. We have to fight for it. We have to fight for a future worth having.

Now it's our turn. Now it's our generation who must fight for what's right, to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves, for our children, and for future generations. Never has there been a more urgent need for good people to stand up and do what's right: Speak the truth. Reject the lies. Make the moral decision.

We cannot accept this tyranny. We cannot allow this to happen. We cannot sacrifice our children to comfort and complacency. We absolutely cannot accept this New Normal -- because it's NOT normal -- it's WRONG. It's unnatural, it's unethical, and goes against everything our country stands for, everything our founding fathers fought for, everything so many people have fought and died for.

The question is, what are we going to do about it? Here are three things you can choose to do today:

  1. Talk to someone. Start a conversation. Remember what it was like when we were free? What does freedom mean to you? Remind people of what life used to be like -- and to fight for a future worth having!
  2. Email someone. Local leaders. School board. City council. County commissioners. State representatives. Friends. Family. Acquaintances. Will they stand with us on the right side of history?
  3. Get engaged. Get a group of friends together and talk about what's going on. Talk about taking action. There are groups in the community that are actively meeting and making plans. Reach out. Ask around.

The truth is turning up in unexpected places. Anyone who questions the narrative has been labeled a fool for the past two years. We've been ridiculed and mocked as crazies for pointing out that the "science" is far from settled. But now that narrative is unraveling, even leftist comedian Bill Maher has been bludgeoning liberals -- his primary audience -- for having their "heads up their ass."

School officials please take note.

But this brings up a broader conversation: Who's the fool here? There is no doubt that we, the mere peasants of the world, are being played as fools by the global elite. Knowing that they have the power and the purse to fleece the public, it's easy to think that these mysterious magnates have an infallible plan. But what if all these authoritarian leaders aren't quite as smart as they think they are?

Astute observers will recall that the global elite repeatedly fail to achieve their utopian dream. There will always be resistance, and those who resist the lies and insist on living free, set an example for the rest of the world. The battle cry of liberty, "Live Free or Die" and "Give me liberty or give me death!" stirs hope in the hearts of those who don't believe they were born to be slaves. The appeal of freedom offers durable inspiration.

Throughout the plandemic, while the masses were cowering in fear, liberty loving people around the globe have stood strong and exposed the hoax for what it is: A blatant power grab by corrupt politicians. And now that curtain is being pulled back and the veneer of propaganda is wearing thin, the elite are quickly pivoting to plan B: War.

To win this war for the hearts and minds of humanity, we must call out the people behind curtain, expose those who orchestrate the chaos, and rebel against the great betrayers who would enslave us all in the New World Order.

This battle is far from over. In fact, it is as timeless as history itself. Even today we see "scientists" advocating for more vaccine requirements -- i.e. forced vaccination programs -- because, "The Covid-19 vaccination requirement could be the starting signal for a new attempt to better protect people against unnecessary diseases." What a great idea. The pharmaceutical companies couldn't come up with a better plan themselves!

It's worth pointing out that the lady making this pitch sits as the Chair of UNESCO, which is a global organization dedicated to eugenics and depopulation -- er, um, the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030.

Keep in mind, they mask their intentions will flowery language. When they say they want to "eradicate poverty and hunger" realize that the simplest way to do that is to reduce the human population -- which, in their twisted minds, is the only sustainable solution for the planet and prosperity of the global elites.

So, that's their plan, and they are certainly proud of it. Will it work? That's up to us.

Does it matter if they're watching? Some people like to say, "I don't care, I've got nothing to hide."

These people are missing the point.

The principled objection to government surveillance -- aka the "Surveillance State" -- is the simple fact that you CANNOT hide, even if you wanted to. That's when things get tricky and icky.

Concerns about unrestricted state surveillance was classically portrayed in George Orwell's famous book 1984, and the movie that was later released. The problems with the surveillance state go much farther than just being spied on in the bedroom and having government agents come crashing through the window.

But, stepping away from fiction, how is state surveillance affecting us at the practical everyday level?

The truth is stranger than fiction. At least that's we're told. From another angle, it is fascinating how fiction so often foreshadows real-world events. Take, for example, the 1995 box-office hit "Outbreak" -- a story about how a monkey smuggler accidentally spreads a nasty new viral disease from the African jungle, into a plush coastal California community. It's a great story line, that plants the fear of an unknown deadly virus deep in the public psyche.

It's worth a watch, but we're not here to do a movie review. Instead, let me point out a few headlines that relate:

  • The CDC was expecting a shipment of 100 monkeys from the South African island nation Mauritius. However, the truck and trailer that was hauling the monkeys wrecked somewhere in rural Pennsylvania -- while heading to an undisclosed CDC facility, for an undisclosed purpose.
  • Multiple monkeys escaped from wreckage, prompting a mad scrambled by authorities to locate the missing primates. But, before police could respond, a few friendly locals got out and tried to help the driver -- only to encounter at least one very pissed-off and hissing monkey.
  • By the next day, authorities had found all the monkeys, euthanizing three of them, which really pissed-off PETA, who was concern that the animals had to endure bitter cold without proper shelter, and were never given the appropriate veterinary care.
  • As these were experimental monkeys -- very sophisticate lab rats, used for toxicology studies -- it was unknown whether the animals were carrying any exotic diseases. With feces flung all over the road, and monkeys on the loose, the CDC worked with the Pennsylvania Health Department to quarantine the scene.

Now, as it turns out, the lady who peaked into the crate -- Michelle Fallon, who thought she was looking for a scared kitty-cat -- ended up getting monkey saliva in her eye from the hissing monkey, as she stumbled backwards through scattered feces in utter shock. She has since developed symptoms and is being monitored by the CDC for rabies and monkey herpes virus B. In her own words, it was "a day from hell."

I'm just going to pause for a second and let all that sink in for a moment.

Why are people still wearing masks? Driving alone in the car. Walking alone down the sidewalk. Outside at recess. During sporting events. All day, every day at work, at school, and wherever they demand your compliance, we are told: You MUST wear a mask.

It is absurd, asinine, absolutely unscientific, illegal and completely immoral to force people to cover their face and breathe in a toxic petri-dish of bacteria and CO2. Any rational thinking person has known this from the start. And yet, mask lovers persist with their smug sense of superiority to scorn those intelligent enough to look at the science and form their own conclusions.

Masks are known to be harmful and have repeatedly been proven to be ineffective. On top of that, legal scholars and courts around the country have made it clear mask mandates are unconstitutional. Consider this:

  • The NY Supreme Court has ruled that mask mandates are unconstitutional, yet the governor is determined to ignore the law and continue to enforce mask mandates with authoritarian zeal. No, dear citizen, you are NOT free to breathe like a natural human being! You are a SLAVE to the state, and you MUST do what you're told, regardless of the science, the law, or of personal choice! Welcome to the New World Order.
  • In Virginia, several school boards -- the favored subversive agents of the state -- are spending tax-payer dollars to sue the Governor for making masks optional in school. Rather than acknowledge the science and respect personal medical decisions, these progressive school boards intend to impose their will and continue to harm the children in their care. The depravity of these Democrats is really just sick.
  • There is no shortage of contempt between the compliant sheep who have been conditioned into servitude, the mask lovers, aka the mask-holes of the world, and the rest of rational humanity. Astute thinkers are now considering the implications: If more than half of our country willingly obeys the completely irrational order to wear a mask, what irrational orders from the state would they not obey?

With so many of our fellow Americans still gripped by this mask-hysteria, where do we go from here? Perhaps we should ridicule and shame these morons in the public square. Maybe borrow words from President Biden, and mutter under our breath, "You stupid son of a bitch," each time we encounter a mask-hole in the wild. Of course, we could try to just simply ignore them, but unfortunately they are not going to go away.

Which brings me to the point: This is never going to stop, until we make it stop. Courageous noncompliance and peaceful protest are our best course of action. Put pressure on the school boards and local politicians. Don't let them get comfortable and get away with this power grab.

Fear is based on the perception of risk. Risk is an evaluation of possible outcomes. Evaluation is function of individual awareness. Individual awareness is the source of free will and personal choice. These innate and inseparable aspects of our humanity are the foundation of basic human rights.

The right to think freely, to form conclusions, to agree or disagree, to act upon the convictions that compel us; these are natural extensions of our basic human rights. The right to breathe freely, to speak freely, to travel freely, to engage and enjoying relationships, all of our own volition, are also expressions of our own free will.

Thus, forcing people to cover their face and restrict their breathing, forcing people to undergo repeated genetic testing, forcing people to quarantine, forcing people to take an experimental mRNA vaccination, are all gross violations of basic human rights. All together, these so-called 'risk mitigation measures' amount to crimes against humanity.

The truth is, people evaluate risk differently. People have different risk tolerances. This is understandable, because people have different personalities, even different physical make-ups, which means individual free will forever manifest in infinitely different ways. There is no one-size fits all solution, because we are not all the same.

People all around the world are rallying against the authoritarian measures being deployed under the umbrella of public health and safety. There is an instinctual urge to repel the restrictions on free will, and to reclaim the power of personal choice -- especially when it comes to personal medical decisions.

There is a global swell of dissatisfaction, as frustration displaces fear and people begin to see clearly what's really going on. Their governments have lied to them, repeatedly changing the rules, intentionally ignoring the evidence and data that disprove the narrative. Using media outlets to pump out their propaganda, governments have publicly shamed any medical professional attempting to speak truth to power. But brave souls persist.

Today there will be congressional testimony from a conglomerate of top doctors who are presenting a professional second opinion on the covid narrative. Along with discussing what went wrong, and why, the panel will also discuss censorship from Big Tech and the mainstream media, the pandemic's negative impact on children, and how vaccine mandates are causing worker shortages around the globe. Coercion is not consent.

If every scared American watched this hearing, the pandemic would be over promptly. Of course, there will inevitably me a lot of people would cling to their illusions and denounce the testimony as heresy. The bigger question mark rests above the head of our elected leaders: Will they listen? It's doubtful.

When Americans are no longer living in fear, they will not be so easily controlled.

That is why it's critical that we continue to have these conversations, share information that challenges the narrative, and fight for our right live free from an authoritarian state.

What captivates the human mind? There are many things: Natural beauty. Music. Persuasive speeches and compelling words. Narratives repeated in concert with overwhelming media conditioning. Technology has given the powers that be every tool they need to wield unimaginable influence over the human mind.

The means and the methods of human manipulation have been perfected throughout history, and the sophistication of the modern system has breathtaking implications. An honest evaluation of circumstance makes it clear that the public psyche is firmly in the grip of nefarious forces. Forces that seek to divide and conquer us all. and destroy the worlds as we know it.

These are dark forces that we all must come to grips with.

Why do I say that? Image being segregated from society, unable to work or buy groceries because you are unwilling to participate in the latest government experiment with genetic therapy. If you decide that you do not want to take the risk of adverse reactions, unknown short and long term effects, and the inherent chance that the jab will kill you — all known risks — you are no long allowed to engage in public life.

Keep in mind, choosing not to get vaccinated is an intelligent, logical, well thought out decision that is substantiated by a substantial number of scientific studies. Evidence and data abound, the risks are real and the protection is questionable. The disease is mild and natural recovery provides more robust immunity.

What’s more, to mitigate this minuscule risk, there are well studied medications, such as Ivermectin, Hydroxychloriquine, Vitamins C and D, Zinc, and other herbal supplements such as Echinesea, that have prove to be safe, effective and curative for COVID-19. This hotly disputed science runs counter-narrative, which is all the more reason we should take a closer look. Who are these doctors that are speaking out against the narrative? What are their credentials? What are the actually saying? Why are they being demonized?

The truth is, COVID-19 Does not pose a statistical threat to the majority of the general public. Data from the CDC reveals that that survival for this virus is over 99% across all age groups:

This chart will help you visualize the latest data:

Here is a look at the actual data and calculations:

It is only the sick, frail, and immune compromised people that are at risk of dying from COVID-19. Unhealthy elderly individuals appear to be particularly vulnerable. The underlying cause of death in virtually all covid related deaths are co-morbidity factors such as heart-disease, Alzheimers, diabetes, obesity, cancer, etc. This too is readily observable in the data.

Forcing people to risk injury, death, and potentially lifelong debilitating side-effects — all for a disease that poses a virtually no threat — is absolutely absurd. Beyond that, attempting to force people into participating in a new highly experimental genetic therapy is a violation of human rights. Threatening livelihoods and destroying the American way of life, as a way to coerce desperate people to line up and take a potentially lethal jab, is highly unethical and wrong on every imaginable level.

They have no shame! No dignity. No integrity. No honor. No honesty. The ends justify the means. It doesn't matter if they lie, cheat, and steal. It doesn't matter if innocent people suffer and die. All that matters is that they control the masses, by whatever means are necessary, including using psychological warfare against the unsuspecting public (Ep. 29).

Welcome to the Great Reset, and it's far from over. We are told by the year 2030, we will "own nothing" and be happy about it. This is a radical transformation of society, a systematic destruction of traditional ways of life, so that the global elite can institute their socialist agenda and Communist ideals. This is tyranny at the highest levels.

On this podcast, we've exposed the following:

  • how the government knowingly concealed safe and effective treatments (Ep. 37);
  • how masks and lockdowns failed to stop the spread instilled a false sense of security (Ep. 24)
  • how using the PCR test to detect COVID-19 is nonsense and drives the narrative (Ep. 32);
  • how the evidence and data indicates these vaccinations are causing big problems (Ep. 25);
  • how destroying an entire way of life has driven the desperate public to accept tyranny (Ep. 12);

All of this has conveniently people on the idea that government officials have the only viable solutions. Only the government can save us from this invisible enemy. We are told we have to follow the science -- but only the constantly changing state-sanctioned science. In reality, the science is surrounding COVID-19 is very conflicting and there is absolutely not any consensus.

But what if all of this was all just a distraction? What if by keeping us focused on the pandemic, government officials and the global elite are actively concealing the greatest crimes against humanity in all of human history? What if this virus was actually manufactured in a lab, crafted with gain-of-function in mind, designed to destroy, and intentionally released on global population?

What if the purpose was to reduce the number of meat-eating mouth-breathers who are destroying the planet? What if the unknown long term effects of the experimental mRNA vaccination include "accidentally" sterilizing large swaths of future generations? What if this wasn't all just rabbit-hole conspiracy theories?

What if the psychological warfare, the clandestine manipulation of the public mindset, was intentionally preparing people to accept mass quarantine, segregation, and re-education of non-compliant, freedom loving individuals? What if extermination was put on the table as the only viable option to keep people safe threat of dissent?

What if we lose our rights forever, because it's what's best for the greater good?

Such questions can be disturbing. They should be disturbing. Not long ago, this kind of talk would have been unthinkable. But, in midst of this "unprecedented" crisis, it seems like anything is possible.

The experts have changed their mind, again. After moving to Small Town USA in the middle of the the covid crisis, I tossed my hat in with the rowdy, rebel rousers, and waved flags along side a small group of passionate patriots who love God and country enough to risk comfort, ridicule, and public shaming. We rallied for medical freedom, confronted local leaders, and warned the public about the tyranny that was overtaking our lives.

It was too few people, and far too late, for our voices to be heard. We were label crazies and misfits, Far Right Extremists, anti-mask, anti-vax, and anti-science -- but we really didn't care. People were losing their jobs, children were suffering, and idea of freedom was rapidly fading into the abyss of an authoritarian state.

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been very few scientist who have had the courage to risk their careers and speak out against the narrative. Two years into this fundamental transformation of society, there is a significant surge in the ranks of descent. People are starting to realize that the shifting science doesn't make sense.

  • Senator Rand Paul has been a vocal critic of Dr. Fauci, publicly calling him out for his contradictions and lies. He has been ridiculed in the media, but has repeatedly been proven right. Now that the CDC has announced that cloth masks do nothing to stop the spread of viral disease, the truth has prevailed again.
  • Renown scientist Dr. Peter McCullough, who has over 600 peer-reviewed publications, has boldly declared that the official narrative has completely crumbled. He points out the fact that authoritarian risk mitigation measures have utterly failed, and testified before congress the politicized response has cost countless lives.
  • But still, powerful forces continue to push the crisis narrative, feeding fear and stoking uncertainty. Headline news tells us that 4 boosters may not be enough to stop Omicron, and Dr. Fauci warns that future variants may again elude immune response, and the NY Times paves the way for face masks forever.

In the sphere of public debate, it is important to acknowledge contrary perspectives. That said, it would be foolish to think that the covid demagogues will admit they've been wrong since the start of the pandemic, about masks, about lock downs, about vaccinations. The truth is irrelevant to tyrants.

This crisis has been crafted for a singular purpose: Control. The sooner the masses awaken to this sham, the quicker we can rally around a future worth having -- and make a stand before freedom is gone for good.

This week, we awaken to a world where people are afraid to breathe without a mask, where people are afraid to participate in life without repeated genetic testing, and people are afraid of living without getting an experimental vaccination. None of this is normal behavior.

To put it succinctly, we awoke to a world wherein people are afraid to be human.

Why? While it is important to point out the impact of poisonous and sophisticated state-run propaganda, there is also another factor at play: Stupidity. Public policy and American emotions are being driven by the utter nonsense that keeps spewing from the mouths of incompetent leaders. Consider the following:

  • The latest CDC recommendations including canceling school athletics and extra curricular activities like band and drama, because "community spread" is running rampant across the country. Of course, we know models of transmissibility are notoriously inaccurate, and simply do not reflect reality.
  • There are currently 88 cases in Klickitat County, which represents a meager 0.3% -- that is one-third of one percent, which means that 99.7% of people are not infected with COVID. Since the start of the pandemic, the county has lost 36 people to the virus, or 0.1% of the population, giving a survival rate of 99.9%.
  • Even CNN is mocking the latest CDC guidelines, claiming their advice seemed confusing and counterintuitive, going further to say "You've got nerds -- literally science nerds -- who are writing these things." This is a shocking contrast to their typical, almost obsessive adoration of the authoritarian response to covid.
  • And now, some public health officials are shifting the narrative away from "increasingly inaccurate" case counts, and instead want to focus on hospitalizations and deaths -- as if these data are any more reliable.

Everywhere we look, vaccinations are presented as the only viable solution to end the insanity. As society rapidly progresses toward segregation of the unvaccinated, the public continues to be prodded into compliance through fear, intimidation, and coercion. Talk about natural immunity and preventative prophylactics is forbidden.

People are suffering needlessly at the hands of the corrupt and incompetent government officials.

The pain inflicted by these tyrannical policies is palpable, and it's starting to wake people up. Will enough people wake up before it's too late? Will enough people realize what's really going on? We are being controlled by fear.

It's time to ask ourselves: How long are we going to live in fear? How long are we going to be afraid to be human?

Someone isn't telling the truth. It probably comes as no surprise, but the lies are coming from government officials. This really wouldn't even be news, except that in this case, MILLIONS of Americans have DIED because of the lies.

Straight to the meat of it:

  • Previously classified documents prove that the government knew cheap anti-viral medications -- like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine -- were identified as "curative" for COVID-19, as early as April 2020.
  • There have been hundreds of peer reviewed studies, conducted by the most reputable doctors and institutions in the world, that have repeatedly proven these drugs drastically reduce illness and death.
  • Dr. Fauci knew there were cheap and effective treatments for COVID-19, but instead lied to the American people in order to play along with Big Pharma and implement the globalist agenda.

Why was this information being suppressed? Because in order to approve Emergency Use Authorization for experimental vaccines, there could be no other viable treatments available. Think about that for a minute.

The reason millions of people have died, from typically mild disease and entirely treatable disease, is because the government has an agenda to stick a needle in the arm of every American. This plan has been in place for decades, and the global elite have long proclaimed that every man, woman, and child on the planet will be vaccinated by 2030.

Where is the outrage? Why aren't people up in arms about the loss of millions of lives? Why are people still trusting the very same people that have been lying to them over and over again for the past two years?

It's time to wake the neighbors... these are crimes against humanity at the global level!

They can't silence everyone. The Main Stream Media, aka the MSM, has been successful scaring the wit out of people for two years. Their state sponsored propaganda has provoked massive panic, paving the way for preemptive lockdowns and public shaming of people who did not comply. Welcome to the Great Reset.

There have been innumerable real-world consequences, negative consequences, even catastrophic consequences, as a result of policies that are driven by fear. While the masses seem slow to wake up, there is a growing chorus of out spoken doctors and public personalities that are pulling back the curtain on what's really going on. Truth is being revealed that some have known from the start.

There is battle underway for the minds of America, legit psychological warfare that is being deployed by people who know exactly how to use it. But in a world full of prolific technology and access to information, free thinking is finding ways to escape and infect a growing number of people.

Here's how it's playing out in the headlines:

  • Hundreds of "Angry Scientists" are assailing Joe Rogan and Dr. Malone -- demanding that they be censored and de-platformed as punishment for their heresy. We are told their lies will corrupt our thinking, which implies we are not smart enough to think for ourselves.
  • Other newspapers and editors are openly apologizing for publishing the state sponsored narrative (i.e. propaganda), without questioning or researching or confirming if any of it was true. They especially lament lying to children about "murdering grandma" as childhood depression and suicides soar around the globe.
  • And yet there are still other publications out there, who are openly advocating the government use psychological warfare, running psy-ops to combat the rampant misinformation being fed to an unsuspecting public by our mortal enemies -- the great evil doers, Russian and China.

Throughout it all, brave scientists continue to step forward and speak up about the corruption and failed policies that are plaguing the world. More people are being to hear counter-perspective on the covid narrative.

Disturbed by the inconsistencies and ever-changing rules, people are starting to ask questions. Perhaps our natural curiosity can solve this perpetual crisis.

They keep changing the rules. Local school policies are an extension of the state's agenda, which is being driven by socialist principles and progressive propaganda. But that's not the problem.

The problem is that people keep playing along with it. Too few people question the policies, understand why they are harmful, and challenge the premise. As such, the state has become emboldened and essentially believes they own our kids. At this point, their power can only be limited by peaceful noncompliance.

What happens if they get away with changing the rules forever? Here's what's at stake:

  • The so-called "rules" will continue to become increasingly arbitrary and capricious. It is critical to understand these policies are NOT based on science, but are instead driven by an ideological desire for central control.
  • Parents and students will continue to operate under the assumption that they have no choice, and that the state has supreme power over their lives.
  • Children will continue to be conditioned to accept gross violations of the medical privacy and personal rights -- and this, by extension, deepens the collective conditioning required for socialist state.

The rights that are being forfeited now, will be gone forever. As a result, future generations will no longer live in a free society. Instead, they will be tested, tracked, masked, and jabbed at the whim of the state for the rest of their lives.

If we no longer have the right to decide what happens to our own body, we have become slaves. If we no longer have the right to breathe freely and express ourselves as human beings, we have become slaves.

If participation in society is contingent upon blind compliance with every authoritarian edict and impulse, we are no longer free. The stage has been set and the drama is in motion. Time will tell how this all plays out.

When is enough ENOUGH? When will we, as parents, as students, as teachers, as administrators, make a stand? When will we reclaim our rights and our lives? For those who feel like this is all quite trivial, know this:

Our children will continue to suffer until this insanity ends. Enjoying this podcast?

Why can't we all just get along? The simple answer: Because we are human.

By the very nature of being unique individuals, every person on the planet has their own unique personal perspective. We each have unique experiences. We each have a unique collection of facts and information. As a result, we all think differently.

The chaos that has engulfed society continues to be fed by a breakdown in communication. Society has been segregated into various camps, each having distinctly different beliefs and convictions. How do we bridge the divide?

Friendly face-to-face conversations allow us to get beyond labels and connect with our neighbors in a meaningful way. This opens the door to productive conversation and helps to reconcile seemingly incompatible worldviews.

This episode discusses the value inherent in collaborative effort and explores different ways of relating to the greater good.

You are being pushed around and told what to do.

They take away your money. They tell you when and where you can go. They tell you what to wear. You are no longer free. They How long will you let this go on?

Humans, in general, tend to acquiesce to government authority for many reasons. Partly because of trust, partly because of apathy; partly because of fear and partly because of ignorance; but mostly because of instinct.

Why? Being obedient keeps us safe. Being obedient makes us good. But, being obedient might also mean that we are in complicit in crimes, atrocities, and destruction of society. Indeed, history indicates an inherent need for civil disobedience.

Civil disobedience is what keeps society in balance. Civil disobedience draws attention and forces the conversation. Civil disobedience is often the first step toward justice, keeping leaders in check, and preventing the consolidation of power.

Why is this important?

  • When healthy individuals can be detained against their will, indefinitely, without any signs or symptoms of illness -- all under the auspice of "public health and safety" -- we have become slaves to the state.
  • When leaders openly declare the intent to antagonize the public by segregating, discriminating, and eliminating access to public life -- unless we follow each new edict with blind obedience -- we have become slaves to the state.
  • When Big Tech and Big Brother get together and decide to enforce compliance by micro-chipping humanity -- with no regard for consent, whether we like it or not -- we have become slaves to the state.

The truth is, we are born free. We are free to resist. We are free to be disobedient. We are free to not comply. We are free to defend ourselves, our rights, and our future.

Your rights are being taken away. Your liberty is being stolen in broad daylight. You are being bullied into submission. Are you content to be a slave? What is your limit?

Yes, you read that right -- there are multiple governments now admitting that they have used the tools of psychological warfare against their own people. While this may not be news to you, it should certainly be shocking to anyone who values freedom!

As noted yesterday, esteemed vaccinologist Dr. Robert Malone recently spelled out the mechanics of "mass formation psychosis" on the Joe Rogan podcast. He asserts this is what caused a highly intelligent and educated German population to act out insanity.

It's like stage hypnotism, and it's happening here, there, and everywhere, right now:

  • Officials in the UK government are now expressing regret for using totalitarian tactics and unethical methods to manipulate the masses with fear. The intent was to boost compliance by drastically increasing the perceived level of personal threat. This is the weaponization of behavioral psychology.
  • Meanwhile, the Canadian military have confessed to deploying psy-op propaganda on an unsuspecting public -- just to test the techniques. Their campaign was used for "shaping" and "exploiting" information, in order to stave off civil disobedience by all those unruly Canadians.
  • Of course, the US government hasn't been bold enough to admit they are using the same techniques, but the results are obvious with a little observation. What's concerning, is the number of people who are unwilling to see it for what it is.

Unfortunately, all the evidence and data are no anecdote for those who have drank the Kool-Aid. Once one has been hypnotized by government propaganda, it may take a painful smack in the face to wake up. At times, it is very tempting to deliver the service!

Mind control techniques have been around for a long time. Now they have been perfected and fused with prolific technologies that Orwell never even dreamed of. How does that bode for the future of humanity?

That all depends on how many people wake up!

“Silence has made a coward of many a good man.” –Abraham Lincoln

It is encouraging to listen to highly credentialed and esteemed scientific leaders speaking out against the covid insanity. However, having just a few strong voices is not enough. More people need to be courageously non-compliant and take a stand against tyranny.

Are you willing to speak out against what's going on? Perhaps the words of these world class doctors will inspire you:

  • Listen to a short clip of Dr. Robert Malone talk about the mass formation psychosis that is gripping the globe here. If you're snowed in and have the time, you might enjoy the full three hour interview here.
  • Listen to Dr. Peter McCullough's outline how the entire pandemic has been premeditated to push people into experimental vaccinations here, and read his five most important facts about covid here
  • According to leading epidemiologists, COVID-19 is less lethal than the seasonal flu for school age children, and it is the public covid policies that are causing the most harm. This is why there are now 900,000+ signatures on the Great Barrington Declaration.

It has been said that knowledge is power. In this day and age of rampant deception and mass psychosis, it is absolutely critical that we dig deeper than the narrative and take a look at what's really going on!

Today, those of us who are brave enough to risk our lives gathering with unvaccinated family and friends will celebrate the end of a challenging year -- and ring in a new year that is brimming with positive potential, should we choose to embrace it.

Of course, that's not what the headlines would have us believe. Consider this:

  • CNN is quick to remind us, that despite the oppressive government mandates, this year is ending in darkness, because more people are dying than ever before.
  • Other apocalyptic news sources are claiming even the most careful people cannot escape the threat of Omicron -- just a whiff of infected breath may destroy your life!
  • In a contradictory tone, other experts are warning we may be on the verge of over-vaccinating the human population. Some are floating the novel concept the the less-severe Omicron may in fact boost natural immunity.
  • Even more revealing, data from the NHS has shown that over 56% of people recorded as "hospitalized with covid" had gone to the hospital for other reasons.

The slant and spin are predictable. The purpose is to control people with fear. But, when we examine the situation under the lens of logic and commonsense, we can see through the shenanigans and still catch a glimmer of hope for the future.

With that, I wish you all a very Happy New Year, and I will look forward to talking to you in 2022!

Today's podcast was interrupted because the internet was down.

Perseverance paid off and this heartfelt episode helps peruses some doom-and-gloom predictions, prior to reframing perspective to appreciate positive, practical solutions.

There are currently 205.4 MILLION vaccinated people in the country, 4,936,580 vaccinated individuals in the state of Washington, and 9,816 fully vaccinated citizens in Klickitat County... which is less than half (43%), in case you're curious.

Here's what every single one of them need to know: * The vaccines do not protect you from COVID-19. Washington Dept. of Health reports there have been 86,237 fully vaccinated people who got sick with covid... 6,898 of them were hospitalized, and 851 of these fully vaccinated people died. * Being vaccinated does not prevent you from being contagious and infecting people with COVID-19. In fact, vaccinated individuals have been shown to "shed" the virus because of a significant viral load. * The reason the vaccines don't work, is because they are only marginally effective by any measure. This is also the reason why vaccinated people have to get a "booster" dose every few months... possibly for the rest of their lives! * Informed consent means understanding the risk associated with getting the jab. There have been horrible adverse reactions and tens-of-thousands of deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.

On top of all of this, these vaccines are being administered without any long term studies. FDA approval does not mean they have long term data, it simply means they can use the label "safe and effective". We do not know what the future may bring.

Keep in mind, I am not ranting conspiracy theories. I am presenting facts and data, complete with links to sources for your own perusal.

Another day brings another astounding admission by corrupt and incompetent leaders: They've failed. They've failed to stop the virus. They've failed to deliver enough tests. They've failed to vaccinate enough people.

They've failed to take over the world!

Even though it appears the covid narrative is coming apart at the seams, the media seems to be doubling down on their shameless stupidity:

  • Biden correctly admits that the Covid Crisis cannot be solved by big government. Instead of a federal solution, now the crisis is a state level problem.
  • Liberal outlets still insist that Omicron is a game changer, even though it has lower hospitalizations and fatality rates.
  • The good news is that the third booster shot might be 55% effective at reducing severe illness... for those who are vaccinated but experiencing breakthrough cases.
  • Meanwhile, Americans are losing hope for the future at an alarming rate, as people struggle with ongoing dread and panic -- and the "ambiguous loss" of our entire way of life becomes more painfully obvious.

You know what is is becoming painfully obvious? That this whole scandemic is a sham to forcefully vaccinate the entire population. According to Dr. Fauci, all the mandates are just mechanisms to get people vaccinated -- which is really just population control.

Astute observation reveals that this has all been in the works for a long time. The pressing question at this point is: What's the end game?

We'll explore that question deeper in an upcoming episode.

Here we are, in the final five days of the year 2021. How are you doing?

'Tis the season to reflect on where we've been, and where we're headed. How's business? How's family? How's your health? How's are you doing on the inside? How are you feeling about the future?

The truth is, these are trying times. The covid crisis is unrelenting, as the latest strain crushes any hope of returning to normal. According to Dr. Fauci, we shouldn't even be considering taking off masks -- which means you may never be allowed to breathe freely again, at least not without permission.

Of course, all of these draconian orders are done under the auspice of health and safety. Officials are wanting to "play it safe" so that the health care system doesn't collapse. Apparently they are less concerned about the collapse of society and the American way of life... in fact, on might speculate that is goal.

Meanwhile, the gestapo is back at it, once again entertaining the idea of going door-to-door with government funded Vaccination Squads. According to government officials, the mood "is hardening" against people who refuse to be vaccinated, and president Biden has told the unvaccinated that patience is wearing thin.

Reflecting on current circumstance can be sobering. It can be disturbing. However, if there is any hope to reign in an out-of-control government, we have to face this enemy head on. We have to talk about these issues, and remind people this is not okay. Is this what we want the rest of our life to look like?

Don't let them steal your joy! When the government is telling you not to invite your family over for the holidays, you know the world has gone awry. Maybe that's why half of Americans believe that this year has been the worst year of their life. That's sad to me, and I believe it is the direct result of persistently negative propaganda.

Today, let's shelf the negative news and focus on the value of gathering with family and friends, building memorable moments, and storing up incorruptible treasures. By getting grounded in gratitude, we can find peace and joy amidst the storm. This is how we can finish the year strong!

There is more that unites us, than there is that divides us.

Of course, it may not appear that way when you read the headlines or head out for some last minute Christmas shopping. Our country and our communities are visibly divided between the masked and the unmasked, mentally divided between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, and morally divided over the right and wrong of it all.

Take a look at these news stories:

  • Some CEO's are openly declaring that unvaccinated people "should be completely cut off from society, including not being allowed to travel, go to the supermarket to get food, or the pharmacy to get medicine."
  • Governments everywhere are forcefully enforcing new lockdowns, outrageous fines, and completely asinine regulations, keeping Big Brother's boot on the face of already beleaguered and bewildered public.
  • While Bill Gates tells the world the worst is yet to come, the President Biden is preparing to deploy military troops around the country to battle COVID-19.

Keep in mind, there are people who are okay with all of this. Drastic draconian rules feel like a safety blanket for anyone still scared out of their rational mind. Meanwhile, more and more people are waking up to the shenanigans.

In a world turned upside down, in a society so riddled with fear, when so many people have been induced into insanity, we need to slowdown, reflect, and reconnect with the principles that can still bring us back together.

This episode will explore potential solutions and seek a principled path forward.

Surveying the headlines reveals a fresh wave of panic: The herd is running off a cliff!

After a few days away from the desk, it was refreshing to return and find the fearmonger media still pumping out propaganda at a prolific rate:

  • Omicron officially strikes down it’s first American Victim!
  • The virus is rapidly spreading and metro areas are experiencing a historic surge in cases!
  • Right on cue, in order to combat this deadly wave, the FDA is rapidly approving new magic pills!

Meanwhile, the pentagon is warning troops and veterans not to try and overthrow the government, government officials are deciding whether or not to cancel Christmas, and Dr. Fauci is saying that even if they decide to let us travel, we will still have to wear masks on planes, forever.

You know what bothers me the most? The fact that so many people are accepting this insanity!

Sometimes the subtlest shift in language can lead to an illumination of thought.

We see signs everywhere that say "Masks Required" .... If our children want to participate in the traditional childhood experience, they are told that "Testing Is Required" ... Many employers are now telling their employees that "Vaccines Are Required" ... In every scenario we are told that we "have to" comply. But do we really?

The answer is no, we do NOT "have to" comply. We are born with free will, and that means that with every heartbeat we have an opportunity to exercise the power of choice. We can choose to comply, to go along to get along, or we can make a different choice -- we can choose to make a stand.

Masks restrict our breathing and obstruct our natural expression. Testing is an intrusive medical procedure that results in government surveillance. Vaccinations are inherently risky and can lead to death or lifelong disability. We do not "have to" comply.

Exercising free will requires us to take full responsibility for our actions. If we do not comply, there may be consequences. Some may be anticipated, others may be unintended. Regardless, being free means we must take all things into consideration before we can choose the best path forward.

There may be times when compliance is the best path for you. Other times, peaceful non-compliance may suit you better. Whichever path you choose, the choice is always yours. Never forget that you were born free, and you ALWAYS have a choice.

What's happening in society right now is a gradual assimilation into servitude. The public is being conditioned to be obedient. You are being forced to do what you're told, or else you no longer get to enjoy the life you desire.

Desire. It's a powerful force, and right now there is a global battle being fought between competing desires. The government desires complete obedience and control over your life. The people just want to be left alone to live their lives -- we desire freedom.

Tyrannical politicians tell you that masks, surveillance, and vaccinations are required. The truth is, this is only what they desire. Government control of our lives is desired, but it is certainly not required. Desired but not required. The distinction may seem subtle, but the implications are profound.

Those who have ears, let them hear! In this episode I'll share the personal circumstances that led to this conversation, and explore the implications of standing on principle.

It's happening Left and Right: Leaders are being seduced by lies. How else can we explain what plays out in everyday politics? From the school board to the city council, from San Fransisco to Goldendale, Washington, elected leaders are high on their own power. Gone are the days of our leaders actually listening.

To the point, last night's school board meeting was a repeat of the local status quo:

  1. They hold the meeting at a different time than normal, at 5pm instead of 7pm. For the record, the meeting was over before 5:30pm -- the time that most people get off work. In effect, they minimized attendance on a whim. **Remember when asked about why they were no longer meeting in person, the answer was, because they didn't have to.
  2. Because the meeting was held early, they could not review any financial reports. That means no public disclosure -- unless some super concerned citizen was inclined to sleuth around the internet or reach out the district for details. However inconvenient it might be, my bet is that they are banking on this being another barrier to meaningful engagement.
  3. The Board unanimously approved the 35 policy documents in less than a minute, without any public discussion. Why? More on that in a moment.

Based on my personal experience, it appears that the Goldendale School District really has no inclination to listen to concerned parents in the local community. They waved principal's reports, which conveniently allowed the board to side-step the recent threat of a school shooting. They did not report the current COVID cases, or the number of kids missing school because they are being quarantined.

Instead of substantive conversation about issues that parents are concerned with, District leadership talked about state funding, WSSDA legislative priorities, and how GREAT everything is. Today, I am going to place their behavior in a broader context and present a contrasting perspective.

What's wrong with this situation? Last week the Goldendale Sentinel published a story about a student who threatened to shoot up the school. Local police looked into the matter and determine that is was not a credible threat. Students and parents were never notified.

That event really brings this national crisis close to home. Like so many things these days, this is not okay! It's time we talk about what's really going on here:

  • There have been more school shootings this year, than any year since 1999. Let that sink in.
  • This year there have been 65 people murdered or maimed in the 31 school shootings that seem to be spreading like a plague across the United States.
  • Over 6 MILLION American children are medicated, and there are more kids on anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and anti-anxiety medications than there are taking pills for ADHD.
  • More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease, combined.

In my mind, this issue about a BILLION times more important than COVID.

It seems surreal to think that thirty-one different children have pulled a gun out and starting shooting their classmates and teachers. What is going on in these kid's head? What's going on in their hearts? How can this be happening?

In this episode I will offer my personal speculation and explore some possible explanations.

Let's face it, finding "facts" is easy -- but figuring out which "facts" are actually fact, now that's a different story.

The seemingly infinite stream of headline news present a sea of seductive semantics, eye candy, and click-bait. The icing on the cake is that your entire experience is tailored just for you. In this environment, finding objective truth is a questionable and daunting task!

In today's episode, I'll share my personal news-sifting strategies and expose the fact-checking fallacy, then take a fun Friday romp through a few of the most compelling current events. Here's are a few interesting thoughts:

  • Hollywood is obsessed with leftist ideas -- a true bastion of B.S. -- which makes the great Race Crime Hoax headline national news. After making up a story about a racist, homophobic attack, which was like catnip to liberal media, Jessie Smollet lied to police, launched a city-wide manhunt, and paid a couple of brothers to cop to the story.
  • Meanwhile, inflation is pushing a 50 YR HIGH, which is putting a damper on holiday shopping as the almighty dollar gets stretched thinner and thinner. Bare shelves and high prices are now a staple feature of the Biden economy, Build Back Better, and our brave new normal. Of course that's not as important as angry women protesting with signs that read: Keep Your Law Off My Body!
  • I'm nearly certain CNN does grasp the irony that forcing needles into people's, forcing non-consenting humans to risk of death and disease. Thousands of people have been killed by the jab, many of them who were young and healthy. All of this because they were coerced into injecting an experimental vaccine. How sick.

The fact is: People are dying from the vaccines. This is undeniable. Vaccine fanatics push the point that the risk of death is relatively low, while in fact the risk of death from COVID-19 is comparable, maybe even lower for many age groups.

We'll do a deep dive into the vaccines in an upcoming special report. Stay tuned.

There is a difference between opinion, perspective, and beliefs.

Not all ideas are created equal -- just because we think something, doesn't means it's a good idea. Just because we believe something, doesn't mean that it's true. Everyone is entitle to an opinion, but not everyone gets to be right. Reality exists outside the mind.

When it comes to public policy, understanding the impact of different beliefs and perspectives is critically important. When faced with public crisis, we are at once confronted with a full spectrum of conflicting beliefs. Who gets to decide and define what's best?

Is collective well-being or individual liberty more important? What does the science actually say? Which leading voice should we listen to?

There is no denying that our country is divided right now -- that differing beliefs abound -- but why do we believe what we do? In reality, we can't all be right. All the "experts" clearly don't agree. There IS conflicting information. Are we being lied to?

Attempting to answer these questions requires honesty and humility. It requires us having a heart-to-heart conversation, and that's what this episode is all about!

Do you remember what is was like when you were free? We are facing a global totalitarian takeover. There. I said it.

Many people want to pretend that the end of COVID is just around the corner. It's not. We are in the middle of a well orchestrated and systematic destruction of the American Dream. Right now, global elites are destroying societies around the world, with the intent of installing a New World Order and Communist-style global government.

Rest assured, this is not just emotional rhetoric. This is the reality we are currently faced with.

It may seem like we are destined to succumb to this insurmountable force. It may seem inevitable, like there is nothing we can do but accept it. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Authorities around the globe are using fear to force their agenda. They're spinning up a steady stream of sophisticated propaganda to keep people locked in a state of confusion. They are driving the herd of humanity toward a cliff of desperation, pushing people to sacrifice their most sacred rights, all for the illusion of safety.

But some people are waking up. More and more people are getting wise to what's really going on. Which leads to the question:

What are we going to do about it? Well, what can we do about it? Beyond just standing up and pushing back, I believe the solution to this crisis is for We The People to fall in love with freedom all over again, to fan the flame of liberty and fight for what's right, to reclaim our Constitution and our God Given Rights.

We need to fight for our friends, fight for our friends, and fight for our future, and we need to do it TOGETHER.

If we don't stand and fight now, we may lose our freedom forever. That's what's at stake.

And THAT is a lot more scary than COVID-19. So please, help me spread the message -- It's time to fall in love with freedom all over again!

It’s officially flu season. Here’s what you need to know:

  • COVID-19 virtually eliminated the Flu… or something like that.
  • They are not the same virus, but they DO have the same symptoms.
  • Epidemiologists claim flu cases are being falsely labeled as COVID-19.
  • Some morons want to argue that masking has almost made the flu extinct.
  • In reality, masking does little to stop the spread of viral disease. (WHO, pg26)

Every year the seasonal flu infects millions of people and kills tens of thousands — but no one really cares. Meanwhile, people continue to panic over the latest fear-mongering COVID headlines, and now health officials warn us that this year we might get COVID and the FLU at the same time!!!

When will this insanity will stop? When enough people have had enough! Want to know what I really think? Have a listen and I'll tell you!
