Basecamp for Men E209: Learning Our Way to Better Health

E209: Learning Our Way to Better Health with Special Guest

Lisa Rezac

 

E209 Introduction

Today’s episode is a health and lifestyle episode with my wife and life partner Lisa. She is an extremely intuitive person, both in terms of her own situation but those around her. I am the beneficiary of her intuition as she will often pinpoint something that is not quite in my awareness. Or she will affirm an insight I am already having about my health as she did in this episode we will share with you today.

If you have a TV and watch it semi-regularly, you can’t miss it. The non-stop advertisements (in prime time) for all sorts of Pharma products with every name imaginable. Humira, Keytruda, Gardisil, Skyrizi, Ozempic, the list goes on and on. All the names sound sort of the same, don‘t they?

As many of you know, I have been recovering from Shingles the past 6 weeks or so. It’s been tough but here I am, grateful for my health after a harrowing brush with the drugs that were prescribed for me.

People were quick to tell me “I bet you wish you had the vaccine now”  or “I bet you won’t miss the next Shingles vaccine!” People that tell me that miss the larger point. My stand is to have the optimal health for my body, mind, and spirit and FOR ME the best way to do that is to avoid all pharmaceutical products as much as I can. As in damn near always. I compare it to someone who loves hiking and being out in nature. If that person rolls their ankle and needs to be in an ankle wrap for a month, do you really think that person will never go out and enjoy nature again? Life happens. When it does, I for one don’t feel like I need to cave on all my principles. And I learned a lot from having shingles.. Optimal health, I have found out over 30 years, is ALL ABOUT LEARNING.

My heart goes out to all of those who struggle to feel good and have found themselves on a bunch of these products. Man, I was on just ONE for a month and it scared the shit out of me. I just wasn’t myself as you will hear me talk about with Lisa.

I am not giving medical advise. But human to human, I can share with you that being on lots of these products scares the shit out of me. I know from experience that you can build a health team that has a traditional MD as PART of the team. But you might also have a naturopathic doctor, a chiropractor, a nutritionist, a good bodyworker, maybe a colonic hydrotherapist and a acupuncturist, maybe a yoga teacher of a somatic movement teacher. There are tons of resources to help you reframe and optimize your health. It takes a bit of time and money and a certain trial and error to find the right combination that is uniquely suited to you. But it is kind of fun to try all those things and DAMN, the health and vitality that are yours are absolutely PRICELESS. Enjoy the episode.

 

 

E208: Our Cities- A Naomi Wolf Reading

E208: Our Cities- A Naomi Wolf Reading

 

E208 Introduction

I have been a city dweller my whole life. A sophisticated urbanite, as they say. Living in both Seattle, then NYC for 10 years, and now back to Seattle to raise our family. I have LOVED the cities that I have been a part of. The culture, the humanity, the diversity, the human connection, the art and the food, the street scene, and yes, even the edge. The occasional violence and crime that come across your radar.

All of these have been part of my whole adult life. And there seems to be a common sentiment among many city dwellers these days. They can‘t wait to get out. Things are fraying in our great cities and it is in plain daylight for all of us to see. The violence, the mental health crisis, the crime, the homelessness, the hopelessness. Our cities seem lost don‘t they? Can we recover them?

The following is a reading of an article by the great writer Naomi Wolf. I will give you resources on where to find her at the end. Naomi is a former liberal writer, best-selling author, and thought leader and celebrity. She has famously been a walkaway from the left as the woke Marxist agenda started to alert her that something else was going on and perhaps she was being played. I know exactly how she feels.

Here I am acting as a simply voice-over, speaking Naomi‘s elegant words. I hope she doesn‘t mind that I pay tribute to her and her ideas this way. Enjoy!

 

Basecamp for Men E206: The Sun is Our Ally

E206: The Sun is Our Ally with Special Guest

Dr. Jeannette Daneals

 

E206 Introduction

One of the hallmarks of the times we live in is the widespread use of propaganda and lies to deceive and confuse the unsuspecting public. It‘s everywhere, isn’t it? How many times a day or week do you glance at something that you know is not what it seems?

The deception runs deep and is meant to confuse humans on a very deep level. And for the most part, it is working. Look how many people are still wearing a face diaper and pretending it‘s a solid health choice! Since when does RESTRICTING YOUR BREATHING and your oxygen intake EVER been a good idea. Sign of the times.

Or the number of people on more and more pharma products. Whether that is shots or pills. This industry is good at create sick people with their products and their solution? More of their products with more and more side effects. A never ending loop of symptoms, disease, and profits for them. Sign of the times.

I find it useful to use a few different tools that I will share with you. One, don‘t get emotional, if possible. If what you are seeing or hearing elicits an emotional response, chances are this is by design. Simply notice and return to your heart energy and fellowship for your fellow man. This is best practice always.

Another useful tool is to remember that we are in a global war already. It has been raging for years but has really been amped up since the bio weapon was dropped on WE THE PEOPLE. If you don‘t always feel like yourself or you feel a certain battle fatigue, just take comfort that we all do, no matter your political affiliation or lack thereof. Being in the middle of a new form of warfare if exhausting at times as our adversary is working overtime to confuse, divert, and divide us. We win when we don‘t give in to this.

And lastly, remember that the truth is simple to understand. It’s the global lies and deception that is hard to fathom. Stick with the simple truths. The ones you just know in your heart. For yours and mine are likely identical or nearly so.

Today’s episode is about something simple: the sun. And the lies and deception that has been spun by you-know-who to get us to fear and avoid this great ally of ours. Basecampers, it is time to let the sun in…..sign of the times. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E205: Bitcoin vs. CBDC

E205: Bitcoin vs. CBDC

 

E205 Introduction

Hello Basecampers. Today is Season Five’s last episode about Bitcoin. That might be a relief to some of you. Next season it will be on the docket again though. Why do I include these as part of the center of the Basecamp curriculum? Well, because it gives us maximum optionality, to use a concept that my guest is fond of.

Why do I love Bitcoin? It represents everything the state and the Globalists hate: freedom, sovereignty, optionality, self-responsibility, WE THE PEOPLE. They want us to continue to adopt systems with a centralized control structure. WE THE PEOPLE counter with decentralized money and systems that will drastically alter our future and the possibilities that await us.

Oh, it will take awhile to cleanse our souls of the taint of fiat money-its corruption, debasement, its massive wealth inequality, to mention just a few. But the more you study Bitcoin, the more it reveals itself as a great ally to humanity. A quiet warrior who snuck behind enemy lines to detonate a fucking bomb into systems that sought to centralize everything into a system meant to suffocate and suppress all human expression of individuality, joy, and personal freedom.

Did you know that the US Dollar has lost 97 percent of its purchasing power since 1913? Did you know that the dollar has lost 17 percent of its purchasing power in just the last 3 years alone? Something has to give.

Do you still think Bitcoin is a passing fad with no intrinsic value? Well, it has become the fastest asset to reach 1 trillion dollars To put it in perspective, it took Microsoft 44 years to reach 1 trillion in market cap. Apple took 42 years, Amazon 24 years, and Google 21 years. Bitcoin achieved this in just 12 years! And we haven’t even got to the institutional adoption yet that will just get accelerated with the spot ETF approval that looks to be heading our way in early 2024. Bitcoin looks like a loaded spring from where I sit. Do yourself and your family a favor and get off zero bro? Yes I’m talking to you. Don‘t stand around flat-footed wondering what is what. At this point, I think you have all the information you need.

Here are a few memes that relate to today’s show. One from Bitcoiner and visionary author Jeff Booth who says “Imagine watching what happens to other nations and their people as their currencies lost value yet failing to connect the dots to the consequences of it in your own country. Imagine.” 

And one from author Tom Clancy, who says “What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms, and killing people. It‘s not good at much else.”

And a longer one but illuminating. I don‘t know who posted this, undoubtedly some Libertarian but it says

“125 years ago, you didn‘t have to ask permission form the government to: collect rain water, go fishing, own a property, start a business, build a home, get married, hunt, own a weapon, cut hair, sell a product, protest, sell food.

You can do virtually nothing without being extorted by the government and obtaining their permission first. If you still think you’re free, you‘re deluding yourself. You are just a free-range human living on a tax farm.”

And Jack Dorsey who simply says “Bitcoin changes absolutely everything.”

With these teeing up the episode, let’t get to our interview with Mark. Enjoy.

Basecamp for Men E204: Basecamp Classics

E204: Basecamp Classics

 

E204 Introduction

Man, did I get knocked for a loop this past week. I ended up getting Shingles. I still have it really bad actually and it put a stop to the Basecamp flow here. I could see Tuesday coming up and I had no interview, no ideas that were coming up, just me trying deal with this excruciating pain all day long.

I was talking to Lisa this morning about what is going on in the world. Part of the fog that people are experiencing is that we are in the middle of world war 3. It‘s just that war has evolved with our technology and the big guns now are psy-ops and propaganda, control of the narrative for the enemy’s purposes, bioweapons in the form of so-called “vaccines” and weather modification that is doing God knows what to our health and our DNA. We are a tribe of people, humanity that is, that has been kept in the dark as to what has happened here, who we really are, in terms of our own divinity and place in the Cosmos, and what our adversary is trying to do with us.

I tried to pick a Basecamp Classic today that aligns with these themes. It is probably not a perfect fit but hey, I have a torso full of open blisters so , honestly let’s just do the best we can!

Looking ahead, I have a couple of good interviews coming up with Mark Jeftovic and Dr. Jeanette Daneals. And it is looking like the Secret Space Program episode, which has been the most daunting of topics for me to present to you, will likely be the season finale.

Oh for those of you that don‘t know, I have become fond of taking a break during the Thanksgiving and Christmas time frame. Usually 6 weeks off or so to recharge, see family, and not have podcast deadlines to navigate. But don’t worry, we aren’t there yet. We‘re still chugging along season five.

Today‘s Basecamp Classic features my trusted friend, Roy Holman. It is always good to sit around the fire with him with his wisdom and calm demeanor and love of humanity. This one is from E106 all the way back from fall of 2021. But it holds up I think as Roy and I talk about the underlying dynamics and where we are at in humanity’s awakening. Enjoy the episode.
