Basecamp for Men E328: Happy 250th America!

E328: Happy 250th America!

 

E328 Introduction

 

Well we are coming up on our great nation’s 250th birthday and we are hosting the World Cup (which has been a smashing success) and DC is getting ready to host a big blowout celebration.

Have you seen all these Europeans, Aussies, Asians, and African tourists raving about our great nation? There is some great videos on IG where these World Cup fans are talking about how great America is. They are raving about the food and the beautiful land and the people and how gracious they have been to the visitors. Doesn‘t surprise me.

The interesting thing is that many have commented that the America they see on social media is a lot different than being here and seeing it and meeting the people in real time. Social media, with all of its Collectivist and anti-American bots can paint an unflattering picture of a group of good people or even a whole nation.

I hope all sorts of Americans can see their country through the lens of all these tourists who are loving America. America is not perfect. We never claimed it was. But to not recognize Lady Liberty and the global appeal our country, its people, our land have on the rest of the world is to be woefully ignorant of the great gift that is America.

Happy 250th America. We love ya!

 

Basecamp for Men E327: Counter Punching

E327: Counter Punching with Special Guest Floyd Brown

 

E327 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We have written and talked about the narrative war for the past few seasons and today I have the great pleasure of interviewing an American who has had his sleeves rolled up for 40 years or more.

He has written a book that talks about the narrative and cultural war and it is full of truthful and steely-eyed descriptions of the challenges we face. However, it is also strategic and tactical and full of practical advice for Conservative Americans.  He is incredibly optimistic and you all know that I gravitate towards American optimism. I believe that keeping the faith and staying optimistic along with our “can do” attitude and work ethic are our superpowers. I also believe that America has a Divine assignment; a God-chosen nation that is the greatest hope humanity has against the Globalist authoritarian and Marxist adversary that work to demean, demoralize, and diminish our numbers.

Today’s interview is a good one. My guest and I range from the formation of the Uniparty, to looking at how the Marxist influence in education has been the absolute worst thing for kids. We also touch on the legalization of marijuana and how did Covid REALLY come about? We also talk about why getting involved locally is the best way to make a difference.

Let’s get to it Basecampers but first a word from our sponsor.

 Floyd Brown Bio

My guest today is Floyd Brown. Floyd has long been an influential Conservative, working on Ronald Reagan’s team. He is an author many times over, a keynote speaker, and the founder of the Western Journal. He is a former radio host here in Seattle and has appeared on many TV shows including 20/20, The Bill Maher Show, Fox News, CNN, Good Morning America, and many others. He is also a devout follower of Jesus. Here is my interview with Floyd Brown.

E327 Final Thoughts

What a great American Floyd Brown. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s a national treasure. And his book is as good as I am raving about. The name is Counter Punch- An Unlikely Alliance of Americans Fighting Back for Faith and Freedom. Go get yourself a copy!

 

Basecamp for Men E326: The Collective Narrative Fatigue

E326: The Collective Narrative Fatigue w Special Guest Dr. Chase Spears

 

E326 Introduction

I heard a new term this week….enshitification. As in the entire population is witnessing the enshitification of everything. Politics, education, culture, morals, the degradation of our cities. People all over the country have immense battle fatigue. We are tired of being punched in the face at every turn.

Politicians watch out for themselves or carry a Globalist/anti-America agenda. Government schooling dumbs down our kids or turns them into weak transgenderists. The cities look like shit (at least all the liberal ones do) and people are just fucking tired. I live here in Seattle and have bought a new house in the central part of the state. Far away from the drug addiction, homelessness, garbage and graffiti, and all the mental illness that so many of our citizens have here.

One of the great goals of the Marxist/Globalist agenda is to utterly demoralize humans and get them more and more dependent on the state. As far as I can see, they have done a really effective job on both of these and its downright depressing.

I don’t mean to hit such a bummer of a note this week but good Americans and good Christians seem over it all, don’t they? Even liberals look weak and defeated. I would say the consensus morale is bruised and bloodied and sick of being ruled over by Globalist pedophile Satanic elites who hate us. Pretty much sums it up the trenches.

But, on a better note (before we get to our excellent guest)

A couple of quotes for you before we get to today’s guest. First one is from the Hodge Twins who posted:

“A school in Washington state allegedly transitioned a girl without her parents knowledge or consent. They reportedly encouraged her to identify as a boy, roomed her with boys on school trips, gave her a secrete burner phone, and even pushed her to live with another family. Thankfully, her parents found out, immediately removed her from the school, moved out of state, and got her away from the situation. She is now reportedly thriving. This case highlights a growing and deeply disturbing problem: schools and staff actively working to undermine parental authority and push gender ideology on children in secret. Parents are being treated as obstacles instead of the primary decision-makers in their child’s life.”

From Dr. Paul McHugh, Professor of Psychiatry at John Hopkins School of Medicine who says: “Transgenderism is the only mental illness demanding that the rest of society adopt the patient’s delusion as part of the patient’s treatment.”

Oh, but you can‘t criticize the transgender narrative, that means you are an awful and hateful person, right?

My guest today is a military veteran and podcaster and the conversation gets into some great topics: the infestation of DEI in the military, the long-march of Marxism through our institutions and culture, and the attack Christians and their values throughout the past few decades.

Before that, let’s hear from our sponsor.

Chase Spears Bio

Dr. Chase Spears is a combat veteran who served as a U.S. pubic affairs officer for 20 years. Chase holds a PhD in leadership communication from Kansas State U. Dr. Spears is passionate about holding the military accountable to its Constitutional purpose. Chase is widely published in civil-military matters and is the creator and host of the podcast Finding Your Spine. Here is my interview with Dr. Chase Spears.

The American Pulse E27: Patriots of Liberty

E27: Patriots of Liberty w Special Guest Michael Avila

 

E27 Introduction

One of the dynamics we have all seen is how much the establishment Uniparty distorts what is really going on in the Republican party, both here in WA and in our greater nation. Disguised as true Conservatives, this group works to undermine a true Conservative movement by any means necessary: blocking all forward movement, creating a division in the party when (truly) there isn’t one and targeting great Conservative candidates (even ones with impeccable military records)and digging and reframing to smear these good Americans by any means necessary.

Why do they do this, you ask? Because they are funded by the same sources that fund the Democrat party, thus the name UNIPARTY. They are set up to look like opposition all the while laying traps and creating distractions and diversions so WE THE PEOPLE can‘t quite see it all clearly.

It‘s not working. We the People know these Uniparty trolls by name, face, and deed. It is in their very actions and in their speech.

Which makes the whole game of putting the winds at the sails of TRUE Conservatives quite easy, does it not? We are tasked with identifying Constitutional Conservatives that will fight for US, not the Globalists/Marxists/Communists We have had enough and everyone I know in politics easily recognizes this.

Which is why I am so excited by the work my guest today is doing. A military veteran starting a PAC to identify and fund great Constitutional Conservatives to continue to serve our great nation in local and state politics.

This is a God-centered mission and we believe that God has a specific plan for America and radical Marxists or spineless Uniparty trolls will not change our destiny. We have already set sail….and with good Americans like my guest today, I for one, am optimistic. Enjoy the episode. 

Mike Avila Bio 

My guest today is Michael Avila. Michael is an entrepreneur working in real estate development, an Air Force veteran who served from 1988-1995 and one of the founders of the Patriots of Liberty, a PAC with a timely and relevant mission, something we talk about at length today. Here is my interview with Michael Avila.

AP27 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. What a great job Michael is doing with Patriots of Liberty. I have marked my calendar for June 27th to go down and support the Patriots. If you are in the Seattle area or anywhere in WA state, come join me. We’ll be there throwing our support to great candidates and a great cause. That is it for me and now onto our final piece, Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne‘s wrap-up and blessing. Thank you listeners.

Basecamp for Men E325: Tick Tock Tick Tock

E325: Tick Tock Tick Tock

 

E325 Introduction

I have been wanting to do a Firestarter and talk to you directly this week. As you know, the Firestarter format comes in at usually 10 minutes or so. Sometime a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter.

What a holding period we seem to be in, huh? People are mad at Trump for a variety of reasons….Iran, Israel, and whatever else is in their craw. I’ve been saying this for a long-time and I still think it holds true. There are layers and layers of information that we are not privy to or rather we are given the information in a sort of drip-drip-drip fashion. No matter the topic, WE THE PEOPLE are not fully informed. We don’t know what President Trump and military white hats (aka the Alliance) and Space Force insiders know about the time we live in. It makes the whole thing a bit murky and this ambiguity is part and parcel of this narrative war we all witness and participant in.

I get the frustration. We continue to see election fraud (again) and nobody has been arrested from the Epstein satanic pedophilia blackmail racket. I guess they fooled us, or so it seems. Does President Trump take orders from Netanyahu? He might. Or is it just made to look that way for the time being? I understand the argument. Yet, something big seems to be lurking under of all this, doesn’ it? We do not live in ordinary times, not by a long-shot.

Is America a nation of Divine Providence, as our mythology suggests? These may well be the years we find out. Let’s keep the faith Basecampers. Faith in God and Christ. Faith in the destiny of our nation. And (the left and center will hate this) but faith in Donald Trump to represent us well in whatever challenges we face next.

There is a burning question at the center of much of this. Can America and the world enter into a new Golden Age? It’s possible but can be difficult to imagine, even for us optimists. Everyone seems so beaten down by the relentless black pilling. The corruption and deception of the U.S. Corporation (a foreign owned entity based in DC) is staggering in its complexity, fraud, and deception. Could Donald Trump dismantle the Corporation? He could. But as much as I can see this in a series of jaw-dropping steps (starting perhaps with a dismantling of the unlawful IRS). For almost everyone, this will seem like a pipe-dream. And if we can’t picture something happening, does this in itself prevent it from happening? Hmm.

Which leaves us with God saving this ragged story in the 11th hour or the Galactic Federation (which we have spoken about on a number of occasions) stepping in. With all the President’s posts about Space Force, this timeline still seems in play to me. What about you? Are you able to hold onto a timeline of our future that has some interesting possibilities?

Remember, the Globalist/Luciferians want to dictate the terms in our minds. So they project lots of fear and deception and hopelessness about humanity. We win when we don’t buy what they’re selling. With that being said, let‘s keep our wits about us Basecampers.
