Basecamp for Men E245: On Being a Man

E245: On Being a Man with Special Guest

Dr. Mark McDonald

 

E245 Introduction

As many of you know (and by the title of this show), this podcast started out as a show and a resource for men as they navigate their lives and their Hero’s Journey. As many of you know, one of my big transformations in life was from a nice guy, people-pleasing liberal into a rough-and-tumble, masculine Warrior Dog. I am only half-kidding. Today, I am man who is comfortable in his masculinity and in his own skin. This was done through my own initiation that I have talked about plenty, especially in those first episodes.

But over the years, something happened with the show. God was asking me to expand my repertoire of topics to include, well, all of the topics you have come to listen to over the years. Everything from the war with the Deep State to the truth about Covid and vaccines to ET’s to Bitcoin and everything in between. I have done my best to always try to show a through line and a Hero’s Journey or Awakening that was and is unfolding. God was picking the subjects and the guests, I was riding shotgun with microphone and ears and heart as open as I could manage.

With that being said, today’s is a bit of a throwback and I am grateful to do this one. I don’t talk about men and the state of masculinity as much as I did 10-15-20 years ago. I have taken my place in the narrative war as a voice of truth and a stand for courage, freedom, and strength in my tribe, humanity.

Today‘s episode is another with Dr. Mark McDonald and we break out Jack Donovan’s The Way of Men to talk about being a man today and what is at stake (for men, women, and children). What is the difference between being a good man/nice guy and being good at being a man? We’ll explore this in depth.

The world will always need strong, courageous men. And thankfully, we still have them. Men like my guest today. I have done many episodes to build bridges for the left……today may not one of them. Enjoy the interview!

Basecamp for Men E244: Basecamp Classics

E244: Basecamp Classics with Gracie West

 

E244 Introduction

Well, I got in a bit of a pinch and had to reach back into the catalogue to find you something good. We call these Basecamp Classics as they are a second run of an episode that I feel is top-notch and still relevant. You may or may not have heard this one the first time around.

This is one from way back in Season Four with Gracie West. Enjoy the Classic.

Basecamp for Men E243: The Army of Moms

E243: The Army of Moms with Special Guest

Jessica Arburn

 

E243 Introduction

I was speaking with a good friend of mine and she asked me about how season six is going and I found myself saying that I thought season six has been our best yet. I don’t know how you feel about it. I think it’s the great guests because I am not doing a ton of writing as in seasons past. Preferring to let the interview BE the important content.

Today’s guest is another good one. And she is another Walkaway from the Left. These have been some of my favorite episodes over the years. Former liberals who have had an awakening and then taken a Hero’s Journey and the road less travelled.

These people are my tribe and their ability to speak the truth leaves inspiration, courage, and optimism in their wake. One thing that you find as you step further into YOUR Hero’s Journey, is that it becomes these sorts of questions such as: What principles or qualities are you going to represent to the human tribe? Where is courage asking you to go next? What role does God want you to play in this narrative war? What side will you fight on……the Globalists with their strange Marxist ideas and dreams of more and more control of us (the useless eaters, to use their vernacular). Or will you fight on the side of the children and innocence ,God and humanity, being a pillar of Light in the fight for our future and our freedom?

Which side is more in alignment with your core, with who YOU are?

I had an extremely wise medicine woman in my past. Her name was Starlyn Nelson. After a particularly moving session (Star was a clairvoyant and knew things about you that only a deeply skilled mystic could know). She predicted that I would have a radio show of sorts, speaking to lots of people, which I thought was a weird prediction at the time as I don’t think podcasts had even been invented yet. And the last thing she said to me (she has since passed away), she said “Tony, there will come a time when you will have to choose between your friends and the Truth”. Then (with a twinkle in her eye) she said “I know you’ll choose wisely.”

And I did.

Which path will you choose Basecampers? The well worn-path of ignorance, denial, and deception that has been set out before us? This is the path that the herd is on, blindly trusting “authorities” that don‘t like humans.

Or the road less travelled, the path of humanity and the Divine Light. The one that protects innocence and our children and our future?…..I know you’ll choose wisely Basecamper. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E242: Around the Campfire

E242: Around the Campfire with Special Guest

Jessica Rose Phd

 

E242 Introduction

Today’s interview is a far reaching one with an excellent guest who has been with us before. We cover eugenics, gene therapy, kids and tech addiction, the Covid jab, and the importance of having a bit of rebelliousness in the human tribe.

I have said this before and I will say it again, our ability as humans to set aside what the herd is doing (for example during Covid) and stand in our own principles and values and show a bit of courage and moxy, if you will, will be one of the most important things we can cultivate in ourselves and in future generations.

I was mistaken during Covid. I thought people around the world (and certainly here in America) would stand defiant against Globalists and Big Pharma bullies and bureaucrats who were threatening to take our liberties away. Nope. I was wrong. There were precious few.

Now the Globalists prepare for what next? Bird flu perhaps? Will the herd go along with more jabs and more serious consequences for themselves? Maybe. I won‘t be. None of us who defied petty authorities the first round are going to be at all interested in any Round 2 draconian bullshit. Will you be? Or will you defy authority, as any human with courage is called to do during times like these?

Let’s go sit around the fire with our guest today. She is smart and feisty and asks all the right questions. Enjoy!

 Jessica Rose Bio

Her more recent research efforts are aimed at descriptive analyses of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data in efforts to make this data accessible to the public.

E242 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that discussion as much as I did. I so respect her intelligence and viewpoints, different in subtle ways from my own but spot on, imho.

Go support our sponsor Stand Up Now Apparel. Pick yourself up a soft T or a great hat to proudly wear as this war for narrative control continues and amplifies. It is important that Team Human stick together, regardless of race, creed, nationality, or political orientation.

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

Basecamp for Men E240: The Marxist Mis-Education of Our Youth

E240: The Marxist Mis-Education of Our Youth

 

E240 Introduction

Looking over the assessment for our students in public education, OSPI for this in the spring of 2023. 49% do not meet basic ELA standard. 61% do not meet basic Math standards. 57% do not meet basic Science standards. I’m talking the basics folks. One thing that has been successful? Well, the dumbing down of American children has been wildly successful from a Marxist point of view. Dumb them down so they can’t think critically, fill them with a bunch of lies and half-truths about the country they live in, make them ashamed of their bodies, their biological sex, the nation their forefathers fought for.

There are many appalling things about the war we are currently in. And when I say war, I am not talking about anything between liberals and conservatives or Democrats vs. Republicans. The conflict has so many layers that I won’t disrespect you by oversimplifying it.

However, for me and many others, the most appalling aspect of this conflict has been the impact that our enemy has had on the minds and souls of our children. The impact of Marxist ideology and the hatred, division, confusion, and unhappiness that this has sown in our young people is heartbreaking.

And most parents can’t see it. Not yet anyways. Although more and more are forced to contend with the truth: that the indoctrination in gov’t run schools is dumbing your kids down, turning them into misinformed woke activists being used by a larger agenda. And ill-equipped to be functioning men and women in society. Hell, they can’t even tell you what a man or woman is? This is how bad education has become.

Why don‘t we start teaching our youngsters the TRUTH about America and what we represent to the world? Why all the hatred, lies, ommisions of American exceptionalism and heroism? They can’t. You know why? Because it goes against their agenda.

You know, it is one thing to be aware of the Marxist takeover in our schools and universities. It is another to roll up your sleeves like my guest today does, to have a good long look at the textbooks. Not quite sure if your kids are being mis-educated in public schools? Let’s go talk to a woman who looks over what your kids read and find out. She has a VERY interesting take on it. Enjoy the interview!

Ann Streit Bio

My guest today is Ann Streit. As a concerned public educator, Ann Streit began investigating the reasons behind our failing schools. Appalled by what she learned, she has been sounding the alarm for the past ten years.  She is currently the Chapter Chair of Moms for Liberty – King County. Here is my interview with Ann Streit.

E240 Final Thoughts

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times. 

The good times created a tribe of weak men, unable to recognize and stand up to the Marxist and Globalist enemy who is inside the gate and here for our children and our nation.

If ever there was a time for strong men and women to find their voices and their purpose, now is that time, don’t you think?

I will be here every step of the way Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.
