Basecamp for Men E310: The Mish Mosh Episode

E310: The Mish Mosh Episode

 

E310 Introduction

Today’s episode is another Firestarter (short format) episode aptly titled The Mish Mosh EP. I have a couple of memes, a few tidbits from the narrative battlefield and then some personal thoughts on depression and the dark knight of the Soul, something that I am observing in the culture as well as something I have personal experience with.

But first a couple of memes! Love me some meme warfare. Tee hee hee.

From activist Jaime Michell who says: “Liberals need to calm down. President Trump is not going to harm gay people, bring back slavery, or strip women of their rights….He’s not a Muslim.”

From Stacy is Right:

“The hashtag rotates, the outrage gets recycled but it’s always the same sanctimonious clowns, the same hysterical tantrums, the same useless street theater. A new flavor of moral superiority every couple of years, same cast of perpetual protesters, same zero results.

Fuck ICE is just the latest costume swap for “Free Palestine”, “Defund the Police”,”Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, “Believe All Women”, “I’m With Her”, “No Blood for Oil”, “I Can’t Breathe” and “We Are the 99%”

It‘s not activism. It’s a lazy, taxpayer-and-foundation-funded lifestyle subscription for spoiled narcissists who want the cheap dopamine hit of feeling holier-than-thou without ever having to build a damn thing, solve a real problem, take responsibility, lead anyone, or produce one measurable win in the real world.”

Oh, and here’s one for you all of the misguided people who can’t stop virtue signaling about Israel. It is from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, recorded at Finks in Jerusalem, Benji says “America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up and sell it off piece by piece, until there is nothing left but the world’s largest welfare state that we will create and control. This is what we do to countries we hate. We destroy them, very slowly.”

Don‘t shoot me, I‘m just the messenger. What a charmer he is! Let‘s get to this episode.

E309: A New Chapter Part 2

 

E309 Introduction

Today is a Firestarter, short-format episode as a follow up to the great interview that Mark Carter gave us last week. I wanted to address some of the things that Mark and I discussed. This will just be a short little nugget but hopefully you all find value in it.

And this episode is being written and recorded at my new studio in Lake Chelan. New studio is just a code for my house. I gotta tell you, after all my years in living in big cities like Seattle and New York, it feels just amazing to settle into a small town in the middle of nowhere. It’s slower and clean and beautiful and just what the doctor order for me. I feel really good here.

With that being said, I have noticed something about the left and it keeps coming up in the conversations that I am a part of…

The American Pulse E25: We are Blessed

E25: We are Blessed with Special Guest Mike Oster

 

E25 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into the American Pulse. We are coming off a long sabbatical (thank you for you patience as we figure all this out) and are back at the microphone with a slightly different format and a different sort of rhythm.

We will be doing episodes once a month for 2026 with a caveat. If anyone on my team at KCGOP feels we need to get on the mic and talk to WE THE PEOPLE, then that is exactly what we will do. If these times have taught us anything, it’s the necessity to be grounded in principle yet flexible in our minds and execution. What is God asking of us right now? is, I believe, a great question for both myself and the collective.

And we will have some of the same elements in that I will write the opening piece and conduct the interviews with our esteemed guests. However, we have added something new in that our intrepid, inspiring leader KCGOP Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne will do the final piece to bring it together but also to offer blessings and grace to WE THE PEOPLE, something that is a clear gift of hers and evident to all who have watched her lead.

I am excited for The American Pulse to be a clear signal amongst the noise and choppy waters we are certain to face in 2026. I continue to feel blessed and honored to walk this path with all of you. Before we get to our EXCELLENT guest today (I really loved speaking with this man), our conversation brought two quotes to mind that I thought were relevant for today’s episode.

The first in my Scottish theologian Ian Maclaran who said:

“Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

And the other is by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes who said:

“Do not lose heart, we were made for these times.” 

It’s sure good to be back, you Patriots. Now a word from our sponsor and on to our interview. Enjoy.

APE25 Final Thoughts

 I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. What great tools Mike offered to help us navigate 2026.

E308: A New Chapter Emerges

E308: A New Chapter Emerges with Special Guest Mark Carter

 

E308 Introduction

As many of you know, I first launched this podcast to be a resource for men and their personal development using myth and archetypes and the Hero’s Journey to assist men wherever they found themselves in life. My aim has always been to help humanity in whatever way that God is asking of me.

And I have been completely upfront in my interest in esoteric topics from the plandemic and narrative war with the entrenched Deep State or Globalists to 911 Truth to vaccine misinformation to ET and the truth and psy-ops around that. Nothing has been off the table but I also never wanted to be only know for “conspiracy theories”. I have always and will always do my best to offer something valuable to my listeners in the way of new perspectives, new resources, and new tools for your Hero‘s Journey. This is for both our male and female listeners.

Today I have the pleasure of dialoguing with a fellow traveller in truthers movement. It’s interesting to me how he and I have arrived at a similar place. With all of the Epstein files and corruption and graft of the entrenched systems in freefall collapse, both my guest and I are moving onto new territory, as you will hear in our conversation.

The news that is hitting the shores of consensus consciousness are things that we have been talking about for YEARS. It’s old news. And I for one am looking for fresh inspiration, creativity, new perspectives on how do we BUILD the new systems free of centralized control? How will you and I and future generations THRIVE? And how do I continue to elevate my own vibration so I can receive the information, are you following me? Where am I stuck in an old fight? If all this Epstein stuff is for a different part of the human tribe, then I am free to wander a further along the path and have conversation like the one today.

I don‘t know how it is for you Basecamper but I find it all inspiring. And who couldn’t use a spark of inspiration right about now?

Before we pull up chairs to the campfire, I found three quotes that I thought were relevant.

The first is from the great Joseph Campbell who said:

“The only possibility for our time is the free association of men and women of like spirit. Not a handful but a thousand heroes, ten thousand heroes, who will create a future image of what humankind will be.”

The second is by Uncailnini on IG:

“Don’t panic but the world is run by a 3300 year old inbred cult of Satan worshipping pedophiles who are using blackmail and imaginary money to stay in power”

And the last one by Esoteric Exposal who says:

“A conspiracy theorist is one who refuses to accept the official version on the word of serial liars.”

Now a word from our sponsor and then on the our interview. Enjoy!

Mark Carter Bio

Mark Carter grew up in Montreal, Canada, learning English, French, and some Latin, developing a keen interest in spirituality, creative arts, monetary reform and geopolitricks. He has studied and written music and literature, working in various sales and marketing jobs, mostly within the environmental field. He subsequently moved to Vancouver, Canada where he enjoys beaches, forests, and creative projects with freethinking visionaries. He can be contacted at markstarcarter@mail.com .

E308 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. What a pleasant surprise to meet Mark on our trip up to BC. I think that for those of us that have done our fair share of investigating difficult topics (and often being ostracized or even ridiculed for it, whenever we meet a fellow traveller, it is restorative to hear how the journey is going and what God is asking of us NOW.

Mark was kind enough to include links below for a lot of the things that we were talking about and you can find those at the bottom of the episode page on www.basecampformen.com

Next week is a Firestarter episode with just yours truly. I will be writing and recording at my new studio over in Lake Chelan. Thank you Basecampers!

Basecamp for Men E307: Navigating Loneliness

E307: Navigating Loneliness with Special Guest Cindi McMenamin

 

E307 Introduction

I have been wanting to do an episode on loneliness for about a year now. Thankfully, I found just the right guest to help us navigate this important topic.

Loneliness is something that we all experience or will experience at some point in our lives but it has become a worldwide epidemic in 1st world countries where technology is most advanced. Isn’t that fascinating? Our convenient and favorite tech devices are at the center of this.

In May 2023, the US Surgeon General declared loneliness to be an epidemic, one that affects 1 out of 2 American adults. (wow)

“Loneliness has a way of creeping up on us unnoticed through a series of subconscious and tech-enabled habits that lead us to one day look around and think: where have all my friends gone? Why am I suddenly more of a loner than I ever set out to be? How did this happen?”

How many of you can relate to this? I know I can. Our phones (the adult version of the binkie) are our constant companions and, at first thought, they seem to provide us friendship, connection, and support. But is that REALLY true? How many people today (regardless of age, gender, or political orientation) are more comfortable swiping and commenting than they are striking up a conversation with someone or joining a group with the thought of making some new friends?

True friendship doesn‘t come from your interactions with your smart phone. They never have and I don’t think they ever will.

As we get older, loneliness can strike any of us but I think that men are a bit more vulnerable. Why? Well, so many men had important friendships at work and when they stopped working…..well it just became easier to live isolated than get our of their comfort zone and make new friends. Women of a certain age tend to do better at this they more naturally build community and are often involved in a whole slew of activities, no matter their age. God bless women.

And for men, I think there is a bit of shame involved in feeling lonely. As in you don’t want people to know because, as men, the last thing we want is people feeling sorry for us. But loneliness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is just the Soul‘s desire for meaningful human connection. Something we all crave and need. Human connection and friendships are like the sun. You don‘t need the sun all day every day but we all need SOME or we just don’t thrive.

I‘m starting to rant and my guest today is so insightful on this topic that I want to get to this interview. It’s so good to be back talking with you Basecampers. Let‘s get a word from our sponsor and then onward and upward. Enjoy the episode!
