Basecamp for Men E172: Sobriety as a Hero’s Journey

E172: Sobriety as a Hero’s Journey

with Special Guest Dr. Bob Beare

 

E172 Introduction

I speak a lot about our Hero’s Journey, both our individual and our collective. Each chapter requiring a slightly different version of yourself. Each man and woman and child will have their own version of this and all will help elevate the collective. Isn’t that fantastic news? Each and every person has the opportunity to embrace their courage, face their fears and their demons, and contribute to the healing and redemption of the Human Soul, the Human Spirit. This Hero’s Journey will bring you many gifts: dignity, worth, unconditional love, the development of grit and strength, and the expression of courage, which always inspires.

I have had many initiations as many of you know. So have you, whether you acknowledge them as such or not. Getting married and moving far away from friends and family was an initiation. Doing the New Warrior training was obviously an initiation. Becoming a father was an initiation. But perhaps my greatest initiation was taking on my sobriety from alcohol.

The reason I am bringing this up is that this episode airs on March 7th. And March 8th, Wednesday, will be my anniversary, marking my 10th year of sobriety. So many blessings happened after this initiation, after I finally committed to myself. It was like God started to bestow these incredible gifts to me. My marriage got a lot stronger, my health and perspective improved, I wrote a book and that led to me having this podcast with 172 episodes. I seriously doubt any of these things would have taken place without my stepping through that dark tunnel and into the light of clear seeing. Anyone can do it. The alcohol and drugs would have you think that there is no way you can live without them. After all, who would you be? My answer, a more courageous slightly new version of yourself.

I want to honor each and every one of you. I have been blessed with an incredible group of friends over my lifetime. Many who are addicts and alcoholics. I even know many who have taken the same initiation that I have taken. Gratefully walking the sober path.

I was approaching March 8th and wondering who I should have on the show. As I was looking over my guest list, I saw Dr. Bob Beare’s name and that was it. Bob knows more about addiction that just about anyone I know, both as a recovering addict and a therapist and addiction counselor and director of a top notch treatment center in Texas.

Let’s go sit around the fire with our respected friend and mentor Dr. Bob Beare.

Basecamp for Men E171: Mom’s For Liberty

E171: Mom’s For Liberty with Special Guest Tiffany Justice

 

E171 Introduction

Throughout the shit-show that was Covid 19, one thing that was absolutely appalling to me was how quickly Americans rolled over to the obvious Globalist/Marxist agenda. I imagined these sociopaths laughing at how quickly we masked up, got the experimental jab, and turned on one another for “wrongthink”. They totally played us and, except for a few fighters, we bent the knee. I thought Americans were supposed to be the feisty ones? The rebellious ones who thumbed our noses at corrupt authority in favor of personal freedom and sovereignty? I guess not so much.

So I went on a mission to find others who still had fight in them. Citizens who still stand for and live in American principles rather than men and women who acquiesce and comply. You following me? I slowly started to find them. Like my guest today. Someone who is standing up to the government indoctrination program and embodying the principles of freedom, parental rights and family first, and is looking to strengthen an education system that has clearly been under attack from Marxist thinkers and bureaucrats who have betrayed our nation and our young people.

The Globalists think that they can do whatever they please with our young people. Indoctrinate them in the most insane Marxist ideology. These things have awakened something in mothers and fathers, at least the ones paying attention. Let’s go find out what the Mom’s for Liberty are noticing.

Tiffany Justice Bio-

My guest today is Tiffany Justice. Tiffany is a wife and Mom of four school-aged children. She is a a former school board member in Florida and the co-founder of the national organization Mom’s For Liberty. Here is my interview with Tiffany Justice.

I hope you enjoyed our time with Tiffany Justice. To get involved or find or start a Moms for Liberty chapter near you, simply reach out at www.momsforliberty.org. Thank you Basecampers and we‘ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E169: Basecamp Classics

E169: Basecamp Classics

 

E169 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Today’s episode has a few memes and then a Basecamp Classic. I have a few good interviews coming up after this week so we’ll start a run of the traditional format of my monologue then the interview then the Outro. I stitched this one together for you. I thought it was better to do it this way rather than do a shorty. Enjoy!

What a time to be alive! Are you starting to get a sense of the dynamics at play? This clash of ideas and narratives btw the Globalists with their Totalitarian/Communist agenda in one corner. You know their menu. CBDC, mandatory “vaccines” ad nauseum, social credit scores for your carbon footprint and more and more restrictions on our freedoms. Put forth by self-appointed so-called “authorities” , the WEF, the WHO, the CDC and other so called “experts”. God, its exhausting just describing these anti-humanists. Oh, and just a reminder: they have ZERO authority. None.

And you have humanity in the other corner. Full of promise, fellowship, shared vision (with differing opinions), and BTC aka the peoples money. We have a front row seat for this and, many of us are throwing out hearts and souls on the side of humanity. Who else are you going to fight? Hollywood? The corrupt status quo? The sociopaths who long to tighten their control of WE THE PEOPLE? I don’t think so.

Georgia Meloni, the fierce new pro-humanist Prime Minister of Italy, has this to say “Everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity. And so, they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can no longer define myself as an Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of Globalist financial speculators.”

Then she goes on to say “That’s the reason why we inspire so much fear. Because we do not want to be numbers (or QR Codes for that matter). We will defend the value of the human being, of every single human being.”

That’s the fighting spirit. God I love this woman!

The Memes

It’s meme time Basecampers! I like to bust out a few memes on the show. They are like little red truth bombs. A bite size piece of information for your consideration.   Here we go.

Here is one from Joe Blo on Twitter who says “There’s a growing portion of the population that will never, ever again believe a goddamn thing they hear from mainstream media, government and health officials. We just need that number to reach a tipping point.” Aho and I believe we are getting there Joe.

Here is one from Michael Knowles who says “The Left controls every major institution in America: MSM, the educational academy, administrative government, Hollywood, Big Tech (well, except for Twitter now), etc. So if “institutional racism” really does exist, whose fault would that be?” Good question Michael.

And one from Joel Rafidi, another fellow freedom-lover. He says “I don’t care if you worship Jesus, Jehovah, Krishna, or Muhammad. I don‘t care if you believe you’re a starseed, a lightworker or an intergalactic traveller. Just don’t tell me what to do.” 

And lastly, an old one from the Q-Drops. Oh my God, he is dropping something from Q! Look away, look away!  The drop is Q1690 and it is simply “ You are Witnessing/Watching the systematic destruction of the Old Guard.”

Look at that Basecamper, you just survived a Q drop without imploding, Good on ya.

And one from Ultra Patriots in Progress (I love this guy). He connects Bitcoin with Q. He is not the first. He says” Bitcoin is no different than the Q operation. It is simply information that one can research to undeniably prove as true. Bitcoin is much easier as it is fundamentally math, and cannot be misinterpreted. Arguing with a Bitcoiner when one has not gone down the rabbit hole is like arguing with an Anon that human trafficking and corruption doesn’t exist. You simply lose every time. Bitcoin doesn’t care about emotions or opinions. Bitcoin is Bitcoin. You have to do the work and learn.”

And lastly dear Basecampers, remember: Normal healthy adults do not get angry that they can’t talk to 5-9 year olds sex, they just don’t. People with common sense understand that this is not appropriate……don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger! 🙂

I was clicking around looking for a Basecamp Classic and I wanted to do an early episode and I love the two I did with Dr. Bob Beare. This one is all the way back to the tail end of season #1. It’s episode #32: The Heart of Addiction with Dr. Bob Beare. Enjoy!

 

Basecamp for Men E168: Freedom and The Good Fight

E168: Freedom and the Good Fight with Special Guest Lisa Rezac

 

E168 Introduction

I am trying to find a balance in subject matter inside of a whole slew of things that are vying for my attention. Before I started Season Five, I drew a quadrant and put various subject matter in each quad.

The first quadrant had the spiritual war that we currently find ourselves in. The Globalists vs. Humanity. This seems to want center stage at times right now as Truth continues to look for WE THE PEOPLE. In the second quadrant I put BTC. More and more people will be flocking to Bitcoin once the Globalists roll out CBDC and WE THE PEOPLE get a good long look at it.

The 3rd quadrant I had the Walkaways. As in former liberals that walked away from the Left and their wokeism. This is important as more and more people will hear former traditional liberals who are now Libertarians or Conservatives or Independents and resonate and find new community and resources for themselves and their loved ones.

The final quadrant I had the esoteric with Galactic Disclosure and the topic of ET’s headlining that quadrant. This one might feel out there and a bit too Star Trek and futurist but just bear with me. I wouldn‘t include it if it wasn’t important to OUR Hero’s Journey.

Also in the mix will be vaccine questions and people that have been injured by them. I feel this is an important voice to be heard. I don’t really care if you continue to get MRNa shots, that is on you. But I want those that took the shots and now regret it to be heard. They have an important contribution to make and the Globalist media wants nothing to do with them as it conflicts with Big Pharma and any future injections they may want us to take “for our own good.”

And I will continue to look at some of the issues that men face. I have one of those coming up fairly soon. Its just that Basecamp has become more of a Basecamp for Humanity as opposed to something just for men. It is meant to be a podcast to help US on OUR Hero’s Journey. Wherever you are at on your journey, I welcome you. You may just well be another emerging human, a Warrior for Truth and someone who values freedom and humanity. We will continue to take our usual pro-humanity WE THE PEOPLE viewpoint and stand in the principles that we have come to adore: freedom, courage, truth, and justice. All the while respecting our neigbors, wherever they are on the philosophical and political spectrum. . What principles will you stand for on your Hero’s Journey?

I am reminded of a line from one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs The Rain Song. The line is “These things are clear to all from time-to-time.”

Let’s go find Lisa and have a chat with her.

Lisa Rezac Bio-

My guest today is Lisa Rezac. Lisa is a fund-raising auctioneer, a walkaway from the left and their woke agenda, and the chairperson for the Legislative District 32 here in Seattle. She has also been my life-partner for the past 28 years. Here is my interview with Lisa Rezac.
