Basecamp for Men E222: Passing the Torch

E222: Passing the Torch with Special Guest Connor Macfarland

 

E222 Introduction

Many of you know that had a great time attending Charlie Kirk‘s America Fest in Phoenix this past December. It was so inspiring that I plan on going again this year.

One of the things that jumped out at me was how many young Conservatives and Libertarians were in the audience. Charlie puts them right up front as these young men and women are our future. To me, it’s really amazing to see them and talk to them as their values and principles run counter to what I see our public schools teaching here in Seattle (or any blue state for that matter). Seattle area schools are a mess with their obsession with all things woke-transgender ideology as young as you can slip it into the classrooms, endless pronouns meant to confuse further divide. No real American civics- no mention of the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

How many young people coming out of public school can even describe the Revolutionary War, the creation of our nation with the Declaration of Independence. Or why the Civil War was fought. I am not convinced high school seniors down the street can accurately describe any of this. And it’s really not their fault. They weren‘t taught it, were they?

How can a generation feel dignity and pride in their great nation when everything taught in government schools slanders and demeans its young citizens about who we are as nation and as a people?

We have come a long ways in just few short decades. When I went to high school 40 years ago, the whole nation was patriotic. Do you remember that? Yep, Democrat and Republicans alike. Hard to image that today. Ronald Reagan was President and carried every state but two. American was experiencing a renewal back in the 80’s and damn near everyone you spoke with was proud to be an American and all knew what an exceptional nation we lived in. When you spoke with new immigrants to our nation, they were excited and grateful to be given a chance to live in the “land of opportunity”. So many of them embodied the American Dream. Future generations did better than their predecessors.

What will happen if we don‘t turn around education? At this point, it may be best just to dismantle public education and their Unions and start from the ground up. They have been captured by Marxists/Communists pushing a radical Woke curriculum on the unsuspecting students. When you understand it, it’s pretty gross. Education in my view is too far gone to save. At this point, the students are better off not attending these government indoctrination camps. They will be smarter than all the woke kids who insist that there is no such thing as a man, no such thing as a woman. Most parents instinctively know this. Public schools no longer teach anything useful to the students. It’s basically a shitty babysitter where you get to see your friends a bit. If parents really knew, most would get them out of there asap. Seriously. It’s that bad Basecampers.

I may have shared this with you already. I don’t remember. To illustrate this, I had coffee with a friend not too long ago and he described what his son was doing in public high school. He had one book report his junior year and get this, it could be on a graphic novel! Are you kidding me? One book report for the whole year and it can be on a comic book! Oye vay.

You know what is a good way to dumb down kids? Don’t have them read or write and don’t teach them anything useful. Add to that no actual American civics and you have a whole generation who can’t navigate, critically think, or add anything of value to society.

Thankfully, parents are waking up and pushing back. There is a sense of urgency with this as we have future generations who are counting on us to turn the ship around.

I don’t get a chance to speak with many college students, so this was a special treat for me. Let’s go connect with our guest today, a young man stepping into his leadership at Liberty University. Enjoy the interview.

E195: Meme Warfare and Our State of Mind

 

E195 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, how are you all holding up in these strange times we live in? More and more are aware that we seem to be in some sort mass spiritual awakening being spurred on by an unconventional war.

We the people and decentralization against top-down centralized control and even tyranny from our adversary, the Globalist, the WEF, call em what you will. Sociopaths is a super accurate way to describe them. Anti-humanists. I kid the Globalists, those friendly psychopaths.

Today is one of my short-format Firestarter episodes. I have a boatful of memes to share with you. We have an interview coming up with Jessica Rose, I am excited about that one. The Secret Space Program episode if fucking daunting! Seriously. I think it will take me awhile to do that subject matter justice. I am hoping for continued Divine intervention to bring it to you in a manner that will make sense and have you lean into the truth of the matter.

Enjoy this short episode Basecampers and we‘ll see you around the fire next week with our usual format.

 

Basecamp for Men E128: Growing Our Sovereignty

E128: Growing Our Sovereignty with Special Guest Christian Elliot

 

E128 Introduction

The topic of sovereignty has been moved into the center for me and many others. It seems the little things that we do and learn in the coming weeks and months might be the difference between thriving and living in fear in our not-so-distant future. Are we heading for a societal and financial collapse? One that is violent and freaks everyone out? I hope not.

I hope the transition to the new paradigm is gradual and one that each one of us can integrate. But when you are talking about entrenched systems of power and control (Central Banking, centralized food and supply distribution, centralized education), not to mention technology and its invasive application into our lives and minds, a gradual transition would not be my prediction. It will happen in a rapid destruction and I believe we are already seeing it.

With all that being said, I want any systems that have enslaved us to be deconstructed. We all have money in the banks but that does not mean Central Banking is a friend to you and I. Quite the contrary as only a bit of basic research will reveal to you.

Do I consider myself a prepper? No. But I, like any responsible father, am doing my research, learning new skills, and making adjustments.   My conversation today with my guest is part of my offering to you. I hope you will join me in educating yourself and your loved ones on the principles and tools of sovereignty. I believe it is the sanest and most empowering road for us.

One little piece of news before we get to our interview, I see Go Fund Me took 10 million dollars that were donated to the Canadian truckers who are marching for freedom of choice and redistributed it to more “woke” causes. Are you kidding me? So if you don‘t agree with them philosophically, they will steal your money and give it to someone else? I missed that part on their website. This is something that should concern anyone, no matter their political orientation. What if your group was championing an environmental or climate change cause and Go Fund Me took the money and gave it to the NRA because they thought that was better use?

Personally, I will no longer donate to any cause that asks for my money using Go Fund Me. And yes, I am not above taking pleasure in their downward spiral and ultimate failure. Who wouldn’t? Hey Go Fund Me, here is something really obvious. When people trust you to broker donations to the causes THEY choose, they don’t want it stolen from them. Just a little FYI. Oh, and news travels fast when your business does something unethical. But you are already finding that out, aren’t you?

Christian Elliot Bio-

Christian Elliot is a husband, father of five, and a certified personal trainer, health coach, and nutrition expert. He has a Masters of Divinity and since 2003 has logged over 15,000 hours of one-on-one coaching. He and his wife Nina run TRUE Whole Human, a high-touch, personal-coaching practice where they help clients radically transform their health and keep it that way. Here is my interview with Christian Elliot.

E128 Final Thoughts-

I hope you all enjoyed our talk with Christian Elliot. I am going to be participating in his upcoming Sovereignty program and I recommend you to do the same. I’m looking over the modules and it is tempting for me to do the Health and Healing module first as you know Christian and Nina will have great content. I see they are including material on fasting and how to protect yourself and your family from EMF pollution. Really important and relevant information.

But another module, Food Fundamentals, also looks really relevant to me. As someone who has been a life-long urbanite and who grocery shops for his food, this is an obvious area to grow my autonomy outside of any central control. If you outsource important areas like food, health, safety, then what do you do when those that you outsource this to change the terms of the agreement? What do we do in a supply line freeze?

Basecamp for Men E91: Restoring Our Republic

E91: Restoring Our Republic with Special Guest Lenka Koloma

 

E91 Introduction

As someone who was educated on liberal principles at an American university, I was taught to (perhaps not HATE my country) but to be deeply suspicious of anything that smacked of jingoism or pride in our nation. Noam Chomsky was a writer and thinker who drove much of this way of thinking.

I remember when I became aware of the CIA black ops when I was a young man and being appalled at what we were doing to other countries and their people. Running heroin and cocaine to introduce to inner city populations here, helping to foment revolution when it suited our corporate interests, assassinating leaders if need be. It was an education in the grisly reality of geopolitics.

Looking back I can see the clever trick that was played on my young mind. If my conditioning could get me to doubt anything American, then I was ripe for further conditioning in cultural Marxism with its hatred of unity, WE THE PEOPLE and all things family, God, and country.

Chomsky also, to my young mind, did not properly differentiate the CIA from the American Republic, making the two seem one and the same. We now know that the CIA is a powerful, deceptive arm of the Deep State and does not carry the same values as WE THE PEOPLE or the American Republic.

I have come full circle. Raised in a working class, conservative small town and educated in college and having lived in great liberal cities, I have in the past five years arrived a place where I unabashedly ADORE our nation and what she represents. We are, right now (whether you realize it or not), renewing our beloved Republic and all that she stands for.

A few things that have emerged for me and others in this movement. One, the U.S. Constitution is a priceless treasure. One that many Americans have given their lives to protect. Every American (left, right or center) should have a copy and study it.

I liken it to the American Grail. If you honor and treasure this exceptional gift to our nation, it will be there to serve WE THE PEOPLE. Like the myths we have been unpacking for you, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are a living, breathing document that responds to your reverence and respect, activating something profound in oneself.

Personally, I was embarrassed that I had lost so much of my knowledge of the Constitution and everything it stands for. I think many of you, especially on the left, can probably say the same thing. It wasn’t until left leaning Governors and Tony Fauci started to attack our liberties with all their rules, guidelines, and mandates hoping WE THE PEOPLE would simply comply instead of taking a cool, rational look at things and recognizing that mandates and recommendations do not supersede Constitutional law.

There is a feistiness that runs in our American blood. I know my guest today exhibits it. I know my wife does and I like to think that I do too. I am willing to fight for what is true and good and beautiful. The founding fathers meant for us to cherish this divinely given document and to keep it close in times like these. It is one of our many Allies in restoring the Republic.

Our rights and liberties are protected by the highest court and highest law in the land. Whatever Tony Fauci or Andrew Cuomo or Jay Inslee or any other so-called authority figure says doesn‘t change that one damn bit. Oh people are free to voice their OPINION of what you should do. You just don‘t need to act like that opinion changes your constitutional rights. It doesn’t.  And the more people that realize this, the stronger WE THE PEOPLE will be, no matter which way you lean politically.

There will come a time soon when most Americans will realize how close we came to losing our ability to choose our lives for ourselves. To live free and pursue happiness as sovereign people. WE THE PEOPLE were awakened by the events of 2020 and 2021. WE THE PEOPLE have become aware of the attacks on our liberties and have grabbed our two most powerful weapons to combat this: One, our beloved Constitution and two, the courage to speak our truth. This is all we need to produce the outcome we are seeking.

It seems there is still some fight and courage in the American heart and thank God. For those that prefer to comply, conform, obey orders, trust the authorities, wear their masks everywhere, I stand by your right to live that way. I don‘t understand it and I know you are not leaders in any of this, but I will give you space to figure this out. I think of the old saying “If you’re not going to lead, then stay out of the way.” I think that captures the essence of this.

But I do have a request for you. Stop attacking those that are fighting for YOUR freedoms. Someone has to do the gritty work and deal with confrontation and people getting in your face. My gang can handle it. We were made for this and we have proven it over and over again as my guest today so beautifully expresses.
