Basecamp for Men E230: Basecamp Classics

E230: Basecamp Classics with Special Guest Lisa Rezac

 

E230 Introduction

Today we have a Basecamp Classic. One from all the way back to Season Two with none other than my beautiful wife Lisa. The title of the original is Marriage as a Hero’s Journey and it is as relevant today as it ever was.

Marriage and long-term relationships still provide us with so much learning. If done properly, each participant will lose a fair amount of ego and selfishness that is natural for most of us. And you will gain heart and love and a better ability to live from your core values.

Good married couples and long-term partners have been battle-tested and I don’t mean that in a negative way. I think I can speak for Lisa when I say that both of us are more loving and courageous and just downright feisty and bold for having spent three decades at one another’s side.

We live in times of great uncertainty. For those of you with a loyal life-partner at your side. Take a minute today to hug and thank them for all they have brought to your life. For they have been here all along. Teaching us how to be better humans and better men and women. Enjoy the episode.

E229: The Future is Bright (Orange)

E229: The Future is Bright (Orange) with Special Guest

Dalia Platt

 

E229 Introduction

 

“Bitcoin is the first technology that allows the entire world to join the ruling class in opting out of the plans the ruling class has for the entire world.”    Laser

Now, why am I including so many recent episodes in the past two seasons about Bitcoin? I believe it is a technological innovation that will lead to a radically different (and far more positive future) than anyone can envision with the current corrupt fiat system, which is being debased as we speak (as in the purchasing power of your money is worth less and less each week, each month, each year)

I heard a Lawrence Lepard, a well-known thought-leader and advocate of sound money talking on a podcast recently and he likened Bitcoin to the early days of the computing, before the advent of the Internet. He said he was talking to Steve Ballmer back in the 1980’s and he was saying how huge Microsoft and personal computing was going to be. Lawrence said he sounded crazy because he was so early.

Lawrence said he sees the exact same dynamic right now with the early adopters of Bitcoin. Why am I sharing these conversations and my thoughts on this innovation? Because I want you Basecampers to benefit. If even 10 or 20 or 50 of you learn to buy, hold, and self-custody your Bitcoin, then these episodes were worth the time and effort. Knowing you and your family will greatly benefit. I will include the great episode I listened to where Lawrence was talking about all this stuff if you have an hour and your are interested in this.

I will continue to have some Bitcoin episodes here and there but we will spread them out as best we can. I know there are other juicy topics to get to and we are in a crazy election year with lots of moving parts and uncertainty is in the air. For me, Bitcoin acts as an important life-raft to sail what will certainly be stormy seas that is our foreseeable future.

Basecamp for Men E228: The Sign of the Times

E228: The Sign of the Times with Special Guest Phoenix

 

E228 Introduction

The sign of the times. What are the sign of the times? Well, I would say a few things jump out at me.

First off, we live in a time of great corruption and deception. That much should be obvious to all, no matter your political orientation. We are all witness to the collapse of a corrupt global empire (the Deep State) that is being punched out by a pro-humanity alliance. Can you see the dynamic in this conflict? Are you aware of the propaganda war that you are swimming in? It’s all around you Basecamper. In fact, this podcast is a very small player in this war, doing what we can to assist humanity (no matter your political leanings).

The Globalists and their 3-letter agencies have done their best to pit us against each other. They have tried to demonize and pit you and I against one another, haven’t they? According to the MSM, if I disagree with you on anything, I must be your enemy or a terrorist or a lunatic. All for having my own opinions about things. And they tell me the same thing about you liberals (of which I was one for thirty fucking years!) But that‘s not good enough. You must be my enemy since you hate Trump or you LOVE experimental pharmaceutical shots, or you really believe in compliance and obedience. Those beliefs do not make you my enemy. Probably not my friend either but I don’t need to loathe or hate you for differing on any of it, do I?

It doesn’t make you stupid either. Sure, you LOOK stupid wearing that mask all over the place but that is a matter of taste. You just have SOME different values perhaps. Or the inputs you’ve received are different so we are arriving at different conclusions. My honest question to those on the left…..do you even know that you are in a war? Or has that escaped you?

Another sign of the time is that there are new weapons being deployed by both sides. For instance, there is a new weapon for WE THE PEOPLE. A hard monetary asset that has arrived in the nick of time to assist humanity in this transitional period. For one of the most powerful weapons the Globalists use is a fiat money ponzi scheme that they can debase through endless printing or QE (to use a Keynsian phrase) and then unlawfully steal from humans using lawfare and deception to make it look like its normal and good for people to “pay their taxes”. Remember, the IRS is not the gov’t. They are a private, foreign-owned corporation that steals your money and uses lawfare and jurisdiction to fool you. We see what your doing. Your not fooling WE THE PEOPLE. Until Bitcoin, there was no way out for the average person to opt out of this rigged game, no matter their nation.

What will happen in 2024? Nobody knows for sure. Everyone I know is doing a sort of light-prepping. Keeping two or three months worth of dry goods, getting their bug-out list and plan ready, having some cash on hand. Making sure there’s ammo for your firearms, if that is your thing. My point? No matter your politics, people are feeling the need to look at worse-case scenarios and plan accordingly. A lot of this stuff is common sense and I know you all are aware of this and I trust you to be making preparations that work for you and your family.

You guys know that I really like interviewing authors, podcasters, thought-leaders. But I also like interviewing everyday heroes like my guest today. It helps me to find out what everyday people are dealing with. The challenges and victories that they are having.

Don’t ever forget that we are all on a Heroic Journey together. Each playing his or her part. Let‘s go find out my guest is doing to play her part and keep awake and alive in these strange, deceptive times we live in. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E227: We Welcome All Americans

E227: We Welcome All Americans with Special Guest

Jolie Landsdowne

 

E227 Introduction

America has always and will always be built on and fortified by civic involvement. This has been true throughout our history. However, WE THE PEOPLE have gotten a bit flabby here, haven’t we? We have forgotten that sleeves rolled up is the American way, regardless of political orientation or philosophical leanings.

Some of it really isn’t our fault, not really anyways. We have not been educated as to the importance of this local involvement. A sort of resignation and cynicism has slowly taken over the American mindset. That my involvement really doesn’t make a difference since there is so much power and corruption near the top.

The establishment is hoping that his continues to be your perspective. As this will keep any restorative movement for the American Republic at bay. For what is good for WE THE PEOPLE and our Constitutional Republic is almost never in the interests of the ruling Elite. Have you noticed that?

I love what my guest talks about today when she mentioned her Grandfather, who fought at Normandy. She reflects on how can she honor her Grandfather’s sacrifice and honor her nation by continuing to serve? It‘s a great question right now. How can I help this nation that has done so much for me and my family? Lady Liberty has been under seize from those that wish do her and her people harm. What can I do to come to her aid? In 2024 and beyond, this might be the most important civic question we can ask of ourselves.

Let‘s go sit around the fire with my guest today. A friend, a mom, and proud (and involved) American. Enjoy the interview.

Jolie Landsdowne Bio-

My guest today is Jolie Landsdowne. Jolie is a wife and mother (who homeschooled kids for 20 years, a local business owner, and a civil servant who serves as the Legislative District Chair of the 34th district right here in King County. She is a woman who believes that engangement in local government is one of the most effective ways we can impact positive change for our next generation. Here is my interview with Jolie Landsdowne. 

E227 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our conversation with Jolie as much as I did. We talked about all the PCO vacancies across the nation.. This is a great opportunity to help in a small, effective way. If you find yourself feeling helpless and upset about what is happening in your city or your neighborhood or your nation, join us as PCO in whatever state you reside in. Let’s put good Americans in those vacancies. It’s a great way to help restore America and stand in the principles that are near and dear to YOU. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E226: The Wisdom of the Star People

E226: The Wisdom of the Star People with Special Guest

Dr. Richard Boylan

 

E226 Introduction

As many of you know, I have had a deep interest and reverence for not only Native American heritage and spirituality but also what they refer to as the “Star People”. These are the extraterrestrial visitors that populate the myths of indigenous tribes the world over.

Most people that know me do not know that I am one-eighth Chippewa Indian. My fathers mother was half Chippewa. I have also long been interested in the ET phenomenon, having a particular affinity for the Pleiadian myths. The Pleiadians (according to this lore) are a race of ET’s (among many) that have been assisting humanity since the beginning of our story. In my grandmothers peoples lore, the Chippewa were seeded by the Pleiadians and were instructed as such by the Pleiadians themselves.

The Native Americans and other indigenous tribes are brilliant at embedding truth in myth. This technique preserves information that would otherwise be lost or removed by authorities that do not want to see this knowledge shape our minds and our future. These powerful myths are what sustain humanity, whether that is biblical myths, Hero’s Journey mythology, or the myth of the Star People. It is our heartbeat and our light in the dark forest.

My guest today is an elder in this community. A man who was trusted by the Native tribes to help spread the word about the Star People. Let’s go sit around the fire and listen to some words of wisdom. Enjoy!

Dr. Richard Boylan Bio

Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist; cultural anthropologist; retired university professor; and a world-renown researcher and expert on UFOs and extraterrestrial Visitors.. His career over five decades has centered in public service: first as a clergyman, then as a social worker and educator, and then with three graduate degrees, doing decades of service as a clinical psychologist and an anthropologist studying visiting space civilizations. Here is my interview with Dr. Richard Boylan.

E226 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Dr. Boylan as much as I did. I love sitting around the fire with a wise elder, asking questions. It‘s how we preserve our human wisdom and dignity amongst all the transhumanist AI technology that they are pushing at us.

In my eyes, it will always be storytelling, myth, and shared meaning that lift the human race to our next epoch. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.
