Basecamp for Men E97: The Bottom Side of the Rock

E97: The Bottom Side of the Rock with Special Guest author Marie Jones

 

E97 Introduction

Two quotes to start off. One from George Carlin who said “I have certain rules. My first rule, I don’t believe anything the government tells me.”

And another from Aldous Huxley who said “The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.”

Here in Huxley’s quote, we see a way to detect the work of the Deep State’s media propaganda. Are you moving a certain group of people beneath you? Is the other side stupid or racist or uniformed or crazy? Or is this what you are being told to believe by propagandists?

We have clearly been swimming in disinformation and I believe it is making us sick. And most are only vaguely aware of it. Or the left is only aware of the propaganda of the right and vice versa. We seem to be, as a whole, quite poor at detecting spin that is inside our own silo.

I find it useful to assume anything coming out of MSM is spin. There is no objective journalism any longer on the mainstream airwaves. WE THE PEOPLE know this. More and more are coming to terms with it.

My guest today has a quote in her book: “Covid was one big mess of misinformation, disinformation, progaganda, and spin. Beneath it all, were people trying to dog paddle and not drown in the chorus of chaos, waiting for facts that only time will tell.”

I think this captures the past year and a half in succinct fashion. We are still trying to make sense of it as the facts have been slow to roll in. Of course, MSM has not assisted us in understanding the situation but, then again, that is not their roll, is it? Quite the opposite.

I saw a great little post from Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers. She says “The global corporate shill press is NOT the real media. Individuals with their pens, phones, computers, and cameras are the real media.”

I completely agree and we are seeing an activated and awakened citizenry right now. I would also add microphones and podcasts to that list of tools of WE THE PEOPLE. It is how we are able to counter the deception campaign that has been waged against us. We seek the truth, have conversations, report what we find, and let you decide for yourself who seeking to empower and who is seeking to disempower you.

As they say We Are the News now. My guest today is one such citizen journalist and an excellent and prolific writer.

Basecamp for Men E96: Everyday Heroes

E96 Everyday Heroes with Special Guest Victoria Palmer

 

E96 Introduction-

As a former athlete, I highly value courage. I always have. As a kid, I saw athletes as warriors who lived at the edge of what they thought they were capable of doing.

I still count Muhammad Ali as one of my favorite Americans. As a man who spoke truth to power, I know that the champ would have had some pointed words to give to those that perpetrate the official Covid-19 narrative. Can you imagine a young Ali if he were asked about Tony Fauci or Bill Gates and what he thought of their opinions? I can just see Ali laying into their hypocrisy in his inimitable style and swagger. Do you think Muhammad Ali would have lined up to get vaccinated? Ha! Yeah right.

Or how about the great George Carlin? Do you think he would have complied with the narrative and the mandates? Or eviscerated the lies and have you laughing hysterically while he did it! George would have had a field day with this and we all know it.

I still take my cues from those with courage although it looks different today. I don‘t look to athletes anymore.  Today I admire people who can stand in and express their values and their principles.  Especially when those values are courage and freedom, which is at the core of who I am as a man.

Heroic people come in all shapes and sizes. Everyday hero’s that remind us of something. That as Americans, we carry this courage and a love freedom in our DNA.  It is certainly active and alive in one part of our tribe. And is coming like a wave, an activation key that has waited for the right sequence, to further awaken WE THE PEOPLE.

My guest today, is one such everyday hero.

Basecamp for Men E95: Holding onto Your Truth

E95: Holding onto Your Truth

with Special Guests Isabelle and Howard Ferguson

 

E95 Introduction

There are so many things I love about doing this podcast. To be able to explore the nature of all things human and offer some resources and assistance to WE THE PEOPLE is a great honor for me.

I also love that I can pivot at a moment’s notice to offer a different perspective to the events that are unfolding. Acting as an agent for this Great Awakening.

When I did E64 Vaccine Q and A with Dr. Jennifer Margulis, we questioned the vaccine rollout and whether or not it would be safe for people. I am always wary of telling people what to do. What you do with your own health and your life is not any of my business. Just as my choices are none of yours.

E64 was flagged and banned all over social media. It was also a great success for BFM. Even though my friends and family on the left were whispering “anti-vaxxer” and “conspiracy theorist” behind my back. I knew that if Big Tech was kicking me off their platform (as Twitter did) and banning my episodes (as Facebook and Google did), then I was “over the target” as they say in the military.

I have a sense that, when all is told and done, the vaccination program currently being rolled out by Big Pharma will be a  health disaster. We are already well on our way, whether you realize it or not. We all know lots of people that have received them. For many liberals, EVERYONE they know is fully vaccinated and ready to step up to the needle again as soon as the so-called authorities tell them it is time.

Data scientist Cliff High says that his algorithms say that soon 19 out of 20 Democrats will be fully vaccinated. As opposed to only 1 in 4 Republicans. Think about that for a second. If the vaccine program provides to be a health disaster, it will be particularly devastating to the people and families on the left. I say this with compassion and concern.

The MSM is suppressing so much information from WE THE PEOPLE. Large groups of medical experts have banded together to sound the alarm bells around these experimental and untested quote/unquote vaccines. The MSM has completely suppressed this story. If you are on the left, you have not heard a peep from your sources.

Recently, Four British Airways pilots all died within days of receiving the vaccine. All were in perfect health between the ages of 35-55. The MSM said nothing about this either as they continue to work against WE THE PEOPLE.

Sometimes the best way to reach people is by sharing a story to illustrate something. Something truthful that occurs in your close inner circle, which is what I will do today. Just a week ago I got a terrifying text message from my close friend Howard, telling me something happened to his young daughter Isabelle after she received the J and J shot. Let’t go talk to both of them about what exactly happened.

Isabelle and Howard Ferguson Bio-

My guest today has the distinction of being the youngest guest on Basecamp for Men, by far. Isabelle Ferguson is a bright, intuitive young woman who just graduated from high school and will be heading to culinary school in Paris and then onto Villanova for undergraduate school. Also on the show is my close friend  and Isabelle‘s father Howard Ferguson.

Isabelle and Howard have harrowing story to share with you and a message for young adults and their parents. Here is my interview with Isabelle and Howard Ferguson.

E95 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Isabelle and Howard. I so appreciate how honest and vulnerable they both were. I hope this story will serve to awaken parents and anyone who is on the fence with this important health issue.

I would like to finish with a list someone made of the “25 Reasons our Family is Declining the Covid-19 Shots”.  See if any of these resonate with you, even if you are all in on getting the vaccines.

 

 

Do all of these reasons sound crazy to you or well-considered? We’re just asking questions.

Basecamp for Men E94: The Path of Initiation-Part 2

E94: The Path of Initiation with Special Guest Joe Grube

 

E94 Introduction

This week I wanted to do a continuation of the theme we set in E86 The Path of Initiation but with a different guest. I believe that initiations mark our Soul’s journey. And that these initiations will come throughout our lives and can come in unusual ways. Sometimes we don‘t even realize that we were in an initiatory phase until the years ripen us and we look back. Through this initiatory lens, we can see how life was bringing us forth through mythic dimensions. Teaching us all the way.

Like so many young people, both my guest and I experienced the initiatory intensity of psychedelics on many occasions.  It is not something I talk about very often but as it was a clear initiation with a “before” and “after” Tony. So I thought I would take a look at it today.

There is something expansive and transcendent in this path. But it is fraught with danger, as spiritual teachers have often stated. Psychedelics are strong. Sometime REALLY strong. And they can take their toll on your nervous system and your mind. I would not recommend them to everyone.

Yet for the intrepid explorer, psychedelics have proven to open the doors of perception to a more cosmic dimension. Furthermore, what is seen, felt, and understood under the influence of psychedelics will often last a lifetime. In other words, you don’t need to take them over and over again. Although some people certainly do.

To bookend this edgier initiation, I thought I would include some wisdom from another initiation that my guest and I share: fatherhood. Here is another initiation that some men take and some don’t. It is a terrifying thing, becoming a father. You might not hear men say how scared they are as they await the arrival of their child but I can certainly attest to it.

I can usually tell if a man is a father just by how he carries himself. There is something intangible in a man’s aura or body language that indicates that he has children. It is something in the man’s soul. Perhaps it‘s that he has participated in his lineage in an active way and seems to carry something from his ancestors and future generations with him. Or perhaps it’s just because he has skin in the game, literally.

It might seem like strange bedfellows for an episode. Psychedelics and fatherhood. Let’s see if we can make a little sense of these powerful initiations.

Joe Grube Bio-

My guest today is my friend Joe Grube. Joe is an attorney, a husband and father, and a man known for his love of life, his great sense of humor, and for bringing a lightness and ease to his conversations and interractions with others. Here is my interview with Joe Grube.

E94 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed my interview with Joe Grube. Joe and I both recommend Ram Das’s Be Here Now, which is considered a classic in psychedelic and mystical literature. Whether or not you ever explore the psychedelic path, Be Here Nowcarries incredible wisdom and Light. It has the distinction being one of the first books that brought the teachings and wisdom of the east to the minds of  us westerners.

Basecamp for Men E93: Walking with Mystics

E93: Walking with Mystics with Special Guest Tricia McCannon

 

E93 Introduction

I want to start off by letting you know that the issues we were having with Season One episodes are fixed. Apparently people couldn’t download and listen to season one, which are episodes 1-37. So if you are a fan of the show and tried to go back and hear what we were talking about in season one, those episode are almost all available now. There are still one or two that we are working on to clear up but go listen to season one if you haven’t yet, we did some really valuable episodes in that first year.

As a show that attempts to chronicle and aid in the evolution of consciousness, I am constantly floored by how fast we are discovering ourselves. The Great Awakening, it seems, is reaching far, wide, and deeply into our human experience.

If the external events mirror our internal state of affairs then we are fast approaching a brand new chapter and one that will take a leap of faith. Do we have what we need? Will the allies of humanity be there when we most need them? Can we trust one another as we ready ourselves for the next important chapters?

I have repeatedly tapped into myth to help us make sense of the inner landscape and with good reason. Myth is like a grand old ship: dependable, weather-beaten, and proven in the storm. I sometimes think that if every single person worked with just one myth (of their own choosing), we would all have our maps and collectively find our way home.

My guest today is an expert on reading the mythic landscape and shining a light on all things soulful. If we are all mystic travellers making our way up the mountain, then we all need guides. Wise elders who can help us keep our heads and hearts about us.

My guest today is one such wisdom keeper.
