Basecamp for Men E220: Growing Our Courage

E220: Growing Our Courage with Special Guest

Cliff Buenavista

 

E220 Introduction

Today was a fun interview for me. Why? Because it is with an very old friend of mine. Someone who I used to sit at the pub with and talk philosophy, existentialism, God and Spirit, along with more mundane topics like who was better the Seahawks or the 49ers.

You know how fond I am of the Hero’s Journey (both individually and collectively). Not all my old drinking buddies have taken a particularly courageous path. No judgment. Just like we mention in this interview, many will be called, most will stay back in the Shire, to use a Lord of the Rings reference. Without a clear picture of the battle or even what is at stake. But the more heroic will answer the call and do whatever they can to assist humanity. These are the times we live in.

One of the questions to ask is this: Who do we need to be as men in these times? What is our most courageous path? What do I need to do in my next chapter? What does humanity and God need from me next?

My guest today is an old friend who has answered the call. What a blessing it is to know these Warriors and I am fortunate to talk to more and more of them on this show. I like to give the vibe in these discussions as two friends sitting around the fire talking about what is REALLY going on. And it is easy when you have known each other as long as I have know my guest today. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E219: The Signal Amongst the Noise

E219: The Signal Amongst the Noise with Special Guest

Reinette Senum

 

E219 Introduction

I absolutely LOVE speaking with fellow warriors in the truth movement. We have a fast track way of referring to things as we have all developed chops through years, hell decades of citizen journalism and research. We’ve also been the heart of the resistance. Let‘s be honest. Most of the people I know in this community were MILES AHEAD of what the MSM and their followers were talking about and realizing.

In short, truthers have been on signal for a long time while most struggled with the noise that was constantly bombarding them. Including all the noise about US!

Today’s interview is a good one and I want to get right to it. However, first a few memes in the spirit of today’s episode and a word from our sponsor.

Memes! We love em. This one is from We The Media and it is response to Justin Trudeau going on MSM and complaining that nobody believes them anymore. It goes:

“Conspiracy theorists are officially living rent free in every single one of these people’s heads. A trillion dollar propaganda machine is losing to a bunch of anonymous independent researchers and there‘s nothing they can do about it. They can no longer control our mind, how we think, how we see through their BS instantaneously, so they are in a state of despair. That‘s what I call winning.”

Yes, it is a glorious thing to behold.

This one from Wyatt who says:

“You watched “The Hunger Games” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “Star Wars” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “The Matrix” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “Divergent” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “V for Vendetta” and sided with the resistance.

When it‘s fiction, you understand. Yet you refuse to see it when it‘s the reality you’re living in. Wild.”

 

In which Jordan Sather commented: “Funny how everyone sides with the Rebel Scum in the movies. But when it comes to real life, they lick the boots of the Empire and call the Rebels “far-right conspiracy theorist misinformation peddling tin-foil domestic extremists.”

Oh how true you guys are. You should have seen it here in Seattle and Portland. Oye vay. From one Rebel Scum to another, thank you Wyatt and Jordan Sather!

Basecamp for Men E218: Gen X Saves the World!

E218: Gen X Saves the World! with Special Guest E Mandisa

 

E218 Introduction

Lately I have been seeing all sorts of funny and truthful posts on social media about my generation, Gen X, and what badasses we are. And it‘s true. We were all raised to be tough, self-reliant, patriotic, with a high level of street smarts. We had to be. We were out in the world on our bikes as little kids, roaming all over our neighborhoods and the surrounding areas with our friends and our dogs. No kidding. That is the way we rolled and it made an indelible mark on our lives and our character.

We didn’t wear helmets on bikes (or motorcycles for that matter). We didn‘t wear seat belts in cars (hell we just jumped into the back of a pickup with four other kids and two dogs and held on for dear life). We weren‘t allergic to any foods. You would have been called a sissy if you had any. We had no trigger warnings. We had just boys and girls. That was enough. It was, by every definition, an All-American upbringing. Full of fun, adventure, optimism, freedom, and love. We didn’t need anything else.

Not that there weren’t hard knocks. Oh, Gen Xers were expected to be resourceful and to handle yourself in all sorts of situations.

And we knew the world was not always safe or going to roll out the red carpet for us. So we learned work ethic. Hell, we learned it from our parents and the adults we grew up with. Everyone worked hard and had their hustle on. I saw my own parents work their tails off to put food on the table and provide the things that my brother and I needed. Looking back, it’s inspiring and helped mold my generation.

This episode is dedicated to my incredible fellow Gen Xers and those that raised us. A generation built on personal freedom, patriotism, hard work, and not putting up with all the bullshit they throw at you. This episode is for you.

Basecamp for Men E217: The 911 Red Pill

E217: The 911 Red Pill w Special Guest Richard Gage

 

E217 Introduction

For many in the truther movement, 911 was the first of many red-pills. For some of us, the events of 911 looked “off” as in we could detect a grand deception of some sorts. But much of is was gut instinct and intuition. That is until the archetects and structural engineers started to analyze the date. Then their findings confirmed what the citizen journalist truthers had known all along: the official 911 narrative was a sham. A story that the Deep State desperately needed you to believe as they invaded Iraq for non-existent “weapons of mass destruction” remember that? And then went on to pass unconstitutional legislature such as the Patriot Act to spy on, surveil, search without cause, and strip Americans of their God-given rights in the name of “safety”. My question after all these years is who is keeping WE THE PEOPLE safe from these psychopaths? Hmm.

I rarely talk about 911. Not because it‘s controversial, I hardly think of it that way anymore. Because for me it is so obvious! But also we have all sorts of other deception going on right now that 911 seems a long time ago, doesn’t it? However, it still carries an AK-47 capacity to red pill whoever dares to look at the evidence with curiosity, discernment, common sense, and an ability to let go of any strong conditioning about our so-called leaders.

If you go into your investigations with anything close to a Zen Mind, Beginners Mind, I guarantee you will arrive at the exact same conclusions that we came to. Its about as obvious as 3rd grade math.

I have always wanted to do a proper episode on 911 as it was one of my important but many red-pill moments and events that make me who I am today. I hope you enjoy the episode!

Basecamp for Men E216: WE THE COURAGEOUS

E216: WE THE COURAGEOUS w Special Guest Jodi O’Malley

 

E216 Introduction

You saw some feisty Americans during the Covid episode. What looked like a giant social engineering experiment to see how many weak-minded people would comply and turn on their neighbors had the Libertarians in the crowd forming a resistance. What did we resist? Tyranny for one. The top-down centrally-controlled Great Reset, aka the Globalist agenda.

The widespread compliance was shocking to me and I took great comfort in realizing that Seattle is more obedient to so-called authority than almost every other place in the US. That is right. The city that gave you the rebel yell of Kurt Cobain and countless other post-punk rockers has become….well, a meek, obedient, vanilla tech city, quick to comply and slow to ask any real questions. It turns out, Seattle lacks balls. Imagine my surprise.

I keep coming back to courage as a cornerstone and I believe this will define us (one way or the other) in 2024. Courage is contagious. That is one thing I have found both in myself and in the others I have worked with and witnessed over time. My guest today exemplifies and embodies this quality. And for Americans, it‘s important to remember that courage is in our DNA. Every time you think and act courageously, you harken back the spirit of our ancestors. The ones who risked their lives and livelihood to resisted tyranny and set an example for freedom-loving humans all over the world.

The Globalists have their utterly predictable playbook going. Yawn. They will use Marxist techniques masquerading as “woke” to try and divide us-transgender, race, rich/poor,victim/perpetrator. And distract, distract, disctract to keep WE THE PEOPLE from figuring out that we are reaching a tipping point in this war. It cannot be described any other way, no matter your spiritual or political or sexual orientation.

No matter what you take into this year, let us agree that each and every one of us being the most courageous and authentic version of ourselves will serve God and our precious American Republic more than anything else I can think of. Enjoy the interview but first a word from our sponsor.
