The American Pulse E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

 

E7 Introduction

Hello listeners and welcome to The American Pulse. It is great to have you here with us today. Today is a short little episode with our sponsor, a short piece of news and a song! We are early in our creative process with The American Pulse and trying some different ways of delivering something valuable to you. Knowing that we are all bombarded with content. We are hoping to find something that is short but impactful. Let’s get right to it with a word from our sponsor and this short offering.

There is a local story here that I wanted to share with you along with some of my thoughts on it.

There was a local Democrat leader Jessica Roberts, a transgender woman (meaning, of course a man posing as a woman), who was unanimously elected to the local Lynnwood city council. Well, they didn’t do their due diligence very well as it quickly emerged that Jessica had some dark fantasies that she posted on Reddit. What were they? She graphically describes fantasies of killing and dismembering women and also of eating children while people watch. Yes you heard that right.

Why am I telling you this. For all of the independents and Democrats who have finally had enough.

As a fairly new Republican myself, I want to welcome you with respect and appreciation of your courage for we know how difficult it can be to break away from the herd. Many of us did the same thing. It’s truly a Hero’s Journey and we honor wherever you are on your awakening.

To finish, here is a song of optimism for those that have had enough of the madness. This song harkens back to my own journey. When I looked around at the insane ideas that we being foisted up us and made a choice to reach for a more positive and uplifting narrative.

If you like the song, go download Wake Me Up by Avicii on I-Tunes. And we thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.

 

Basecamp for Men E269: Climate Facts Over Climate Fear

E269: Climate Facts Over Climate Fear w Special Guest Dr. Michael Karbowski

 

E269 Introduction

One of the great things about being alive right now is watching all the false narratives start to hemorrhage and bleed out. It is starting to dawn on more and more good humans that we have been lied about about damn near everything. All of the most sacred cows have not and will not survive the litmus test that is simply truth.

Isn’t that just amazing? The most dizzying maze of lies that we have been sold and told to believe are shown for all the world to see as an emperor with no clothes. We all sensed there were lies but we needed to be shown the truth to really know for ourselves.

Which brings us to the climate narrative. If you are a Gen Xer or a Baby Boomer, see if any of this sounds familiar.

I have heard throughout my life that humans were causing planetary harm and certain extinction of our species along with all of the others. When I was a kid, it was acid rain, remember that. Acid rain was going to kill us all. Wasn’t true.

Then it was the ozone layer. We were damaging the ozone layer so much that we would be lucky to see another decade at most. Wasn‘t true.

Then it was Al Gore and the inconvenient truth that the polar ice caps were melting, rapidly raising sea levels and this was spelling doom for all of us, especially in coastal areas. Not true. Not even close.

Then you had Global warming. That would CERTAiNLY be our end. Nope. Not true.

Since they can’t sell melting ice caps and global warming, let‘s just call the whole thing Climate Change. That way, no matter what happens, we can say “see, it‘s climate change” and be right about something. Oye vay.

What IS clear is that this non-stop doomer narrative creates fear and lots of money on the backs of taxpayers for the endless NGO’s or Foundations like the Gates Foundation that are pushing (and enriching themselves) off of the climate narrative.

To the point, if they are noisy about the climate, you can bet they are grifting off of our backs and don‘t want us to look at science lest we call them out for what they are: opportunists with an agenda that suits them and not WE THE PEOPLE.

We are going to get into all that today with a retired doctor who has done a deep dive to look for (and find) the facts about climate change. Enjoy the interview.

The American Pulse E6: Finding Our Way

E6: Finding Our Way  w Special Guest Dr. Michael Karbowski

 

E6 Introduction

Hello listeners and welcome to The American Pulse.

Want to know what DOGE is doing and why?

Senator Elizabeth Warren is a good example of why. She has a salary of $285,000 and a net worth of (drum roll please) 67 Million dollars! Yep, you heard that right. Now, I have been an equity investor for 25 years. I have yet to see any stock market investor that can turn that sort of salary into such an outsized net worth. Not legitimately anyways. It’s really not possible unless you are grifting some how. And this sort of things is not just her but for many in congress.

A listener sent me an interesting meme that I wanted to share with you. This really goes out to liberals who have been abandoned by their own party and perhaps to centrists who only read The Seattle Times (which, of course , is full of anti-Trump sentiment).

It’s from Laser on X who says;

“Hating Trump is just going along with the conformist herd. It’s an easy, low risk /low return position. Appreciating Trump’s leadership means sticking your neck out there, standing for something. “

On this show, we can appreciate this sentiment and still keep the meta narrative on this show w that we are all Americans, as you will hear from my guest today, a retired medical doctor. Enjoy the interview!

Dr. Karbowski Bio

My guest today is American Dr. Michael Karbowski. Dr. Karbowski is a retired anesthesiologist and former head of the anesthesiology dept at Group Health here in Redmond. Michael is involved at a grassroots level as a PCO here in LD 36. Here is my interview w Dr. Michael Karbowski.

Basecamp for Men E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing

E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing w Special Guest Joel Rafidi

 

E268 Introduction

One of the central themes of this show (especially since 2020 and Covid) has been the Great Awakening of consciousness in the human tribe. Things have been accelerated on this timeline. And as much as pro-freedom, pro-American MAGA and MAHA are ready to celebrate the renewal of the American dream, we have some underlying dynamics that need to play out, are you following me?

As my guest today so eloquently expresses, much of the world feels like these are dark days, apocolypic even. It is important to keep that in mind as these epic events unfold, one after another.

It is a good time to travel LIGHTLY, meaning don’t hold too tightly to preconceived notions of right and wrong, us and them. Humanity as a collective seem to be holding on for dear life right now and keeping that in your awareness will help you and others.

What do humans do when they gradually realize that the systems that they placed their faith in not only don’t serve them but have actively tried to gaslight them and keep them in the dark. The cognitive dissonance that we are witnessing right now is astonishing.

However, there is more light coming into awareness. You can sense this as well. Each day brings a new revelation. We are suddenly realizing COLLECTIVELY that there are many things that we DON’T need as a society. This list is growing every day as the exposure of graft and corruption reach epic proportions.

It’s a good time to restore one’s faith. Whether that is God and Christ or the Divine or the benevolent forces of the creative Universe or just humanity and each other. We have allies that are assisting us, both inner and outer.

Today’s guest is one of my favorite’s. A fellow lover of truth, humanity, freedom, and the Hero’s Journey. Enjoy the interview.

Joel Rafidi Bio

My guest today is Joel Rafidi. Joel is a truth seeker, a father and husband, a hip hop artist and a coach who guides truth seekers to inner and outer freedom through his programs. He is also the host of the excellent podcast Here for the Truth. Here is my interview with Joel Rafidi.

E268 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. I feel like I could sit around the fire all night shooting the shit about all the things that are unfolding. To get directly connected to Joel’s content, go subscribe to his excellent podcast Here for the Truth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The American Pulse E5: American Education

E5: American Education w Special Guest Jolie Lansdowne

 

E5 Introduction

Today’s topic is one of my favorites: the state of American education or lack thereof. Before we get to our interview, which is the 2nd half of our short interview with King Co Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne, you will here us fade into that discussion as we already aired the first part of this in Episode #2.

 

I thought it was perfect to read a couple of quotes from one of my favorite writers in Education reform, the 2 x NYC Teacher of the Year and author, the legendary John Taylor Gatto. A teacher as beloved by his students as any you will ever see.

“I‘ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching: schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. Although teachers to care and do work very, very hard, the institution is psychopathic — it has no conscience. It rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to a different cell where he must memorize that humans and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.” 

And this one: “Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.”

I will be doing a deeper dive on Education and our future on this show in the near future. For now, let‘s go get our guest’s thoughts and insights on this important topic.
