Basecamp for Men E221: The Wisdom of Optimism

E221: The Wisdom of Optimism with Special Guest

Noel Rudhe

 

E221 Introduction

What a year 2024 is shaping up to be! We seem to be in some sort of epic transition who’s outcome is uncertain and it feels like we are getting close to a tipping point, doesn’t it? We seem to be in a sort of high risk/high reward proposition right now that will impact us for decades to come. Are we up for it? I hope so.

To each listener, I will challenge you with this: make this the year that we each wake up to the best of our ability. For those that already know what is going on, how do we include those just arriving at truths that we knew months or years ago? How do we welcome newcomers into the pro-humanity movement without making them feel inferior? For those on the left who are sensing that shit just doesn’t make sense, can you come over to Telegram and find some new inputs that seem to fill in parts of the map that you have been missing? Or podcasts that fill in some of the blanks. No judgment here as to where you are at on your Hero’s Journey.

For all of the kind-hearted humans out there, and we make up the vast majority of humans here (no matter what they say about us). Can we see the tension and division that the Globalists are trying to create? Talking endlessly about this group and that group, hoping to distract and separate us. A classic Marxist ploy that they are betting you don’t figure out until its too late and America is lost.

My guest today is a friend and fellow humanist and optimist. I will tell you, when shit really hits the fan, it’s the intelligent, free thinking optimists that have a huge advantage. Why? Because seeing a bright future and humanity thriving in our next chapters creates possibilities that don‘t exist in the doom and gloom view of our future. Sure, WE THE PEOPLE have enemies and they don’t seem to value us very much. So what. We have too much going for us to throw away the transformative tools that will naturally help to bring us through.

My guest today is a wise friend who I have been wanting to have on for quite some time. Let‘s go sit around the fire with her. 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 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.

Basecamp for Men E215: Standing Up

E215: Standing Up with Special Guest Gerard White

 

E215: Introduction

They say God works in mysterious ways and there is no question that this has been true for both myself and my family as well as my guest today. I am a big believer that God has a plan for each and every one of us and that if we can get quiet and listen and surrender, we will hear our unique calling. This has always been true.

We live in a time when our adversaries (those that seek to destroy America and her principles of freedom, free speech, liberty, pursuit of happiness) have made their way into some of our most vulnerable areas- education, media, politics. It has become increasingly obvious that the Globalists are in control of all three of these. You can see it in their messaging, their actions, their legislation, and their allegiances.

Furthermore, WE THE PEOPLE have been coughing and choking on all the lies, deception, and propaganda.

I attended America Fest, as I told you before, in December. As a Libertarian, it was a breath of fresh air. A great conference where I met my guest today who has started an apparel company called Stand Up Now. And the big takeaway from America Fest? It is time to stand up now Patriots. We are at a pivotal point in our war with the Marxists/Globalists/Communists who seek to destroy our country and strip her of her natural Divinity.

So, if you love this nation, no matter your political orientation- left, right, or center. Now is the time to ask God and yourself “What is being asked of me here? How can I help come to the aid of this great nation that has so blessed me and my family for generations now? God, tell me what you need from me? How can I serve?”

I know that many of you will answer the call in whatever way you are able. 2024 will be a year we are all out of our comfort zone but it will also be remembered as a year that things shifted once again, in favor of humanity. Enjoy the interview.
