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 E236: Spirits in the Material World

E236: Spirits in the Material World with Special Guest Jordan Youklis

 

E236 Introduction

“The real fight is not between the right and the left, but rather between humanists and extinctionists.”

Elon Musk

 

This is really not a fight between Republican and Democrats. I know each side can get reflexively defensive (and offensive) to one another. The battle for who will control things here in this nation and on this planet goes SO much deeper than that. It is almost laughable to think that the two parties have much to do with this other than keeping the U.S. Corporation (known affectionately as the Administrative Deep State) alive on life-support.

The coming months will see this Cabal in its own death throes, mark my words. As Q has said, we are witnessing the destruction of the old guard and good riddance, I say. They have done unspeakable things to innocent children (and humanity at large). I’m sorry to bring that up again but it’s a fact. Much of this dog and pony show between the Cabal and the White Hats is the Deep State squirming to try and keep the truth from hitting the shores of consensus consciousness. However, it is too late for them to save themselves or their narrative. WE THE PEOPLE know too much and there is too many of us and none of us are going to shut up about this stuff.

Personally, I want to do my part to drive a stake into the heart of vampiric entities that would mean harm to my tribe. And my tribe is humanity (as I’ve stated many, many times). I don‘t care what your skin color is,  or your socioeconomic status, I don‘t care where you were born or what your sexual orientation is, I don‘t care if you are religious or not. If you care about humans and human children and the future of this beautiful planet and you know in your Soul that we can do better than psychopaths like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab at making decisions that effect the American Republic and WE THE PEOPLE, then you are one of us. The White Hats aka the Alliance.

Oh, you will get called all sorts of names by the propaganda coming out of the enemies loudspeakers and it will get picked up and parroted by those that are not awake yet, but such is the nature of war, is it not?

Everyone on the left is talking about Joe Biden’s dismal debate performance. The CIA owned MSM finally showed the left what Patriots have seen for years on their feeds. That Joe Biden is lost in a fog of dementia and is unfit for leadership. I’ll say that again, Patriots have know for YEARS! How? Because it was all over our feeds on Telegram and Rumble and other Anon outlets. Years ago dear listeners. Think about that for a second. The left is having an emotional reaction to something we knew years ago. This won‘t be the last time this happens.

“The magicians behind the curtains. They know that human consciousness co-creates reality based on what the mind believes to be true and real. This process is amplified when installed in the collective consciousness of the masses. THEY are projecting what THEY WANT into YOUR MINDS so that you build it for them.”

In other words, watch out for all the doomer black pill stuff such as  “they are too powerful to defeat” narrative. That is what THEY want you to imagine. We win when we toss that aside and focus on our own sovereignty, dignity, and divinity. They can’t touch us if we stand in our God-given freedom. No more tacit agreements with psychopaths that hate us. We are in the process of re-writing all former agreements that are one-sided (benefitting only them) and deceitful (as in we were not given a truthful picture of the situation. See E186 Intro to Natural Law for a deep dive.

There is never been a more important time to recognize the power of human consciousness to mold thoughts and feelings into the frequency and vibration field that becomes our “reality” in this dimension. If we take control of this process for the betterment of the HUMAN tribe, there is not a whole lot that the anti-humanist tribe can do about it, is there?

Today I had the pleasure today of sitting around the fire with a young man who has experienced a powerful awakening himself. The discussion is far-ranging and thought provoking. Let’s go get his take on all the things that are unfolding and about to unfold. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E210: The Two Jordan Firestarter

E210: The Two Jordan Firestarter

 

E210 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, we are coming down the finish line towards the end of Season five. I hope you have enjoyed the episodes this year. I will be doing today’s solo episode and we will finish with a few words and a Basecamp Classic on Dec. 5th.

I am sorry to report that the Secret Space Program episode is being bumped until early Season 6. It will likely be one of the first 3 or 4 episodes of next season, which has an arrival date of sometime in Feb. I know I promised the Space episode this season but I got railroaded with Shingles that really brought a halt to my ability to do research and write. Also, this is a serious topic and it will be new to many of you. I want to find the right sorts of inputs so that it will make a positive impact for you. Right now, that material is not ready to go.

Today, we have some memes, and then some short pieces by both Jordan Sather and Jordan Peterson. I guess I could have called this one the Two Jordan Firestarter. Hmm. Enjoy the episode.

Basecamp for Men E209: Learning Our Way to Better Health

E209: Learning Our Way to Better Health with Special Guest

Lisa Rezac

 

E209 Introduction

Today’s episode is a health and lifestyle episode with my wife and life partner Lisa. She is an extremely intuitive person, both in terms of her own situation but those around her. I am the beneficiary of her intuition as she will often pinpoint something that is not quite in my awareness. Or she will affirm an insight I am already having about my health as she did in this episode we will share with you today.

If you have a TV and watch it semi-regularly, you can’t miss it. The non-stop advertisements (in prime time) for all sorts of Pharma products with every name imaginable. Humira, Keytruda, Gardisil, Skyrizi, Ozempic, the list goes on and on. All the names sound sort of the same, don‘t they?

As many of you know, I have been recovering from Shingles the past 6 weeks or so. It’s been tough but here I am, grateful for my health after a harrowing brush with the drugs that were prescribed for me.

People were quick to tell me “I bet you wish you had the vaccine now”  or “I bet you won’t miss the next Shingles vaccine!” People that tell me that miss the larger point. My stand is to have the optimal health for my body, mind, and spirit and FOR ME the best way to do that is to avoid all pharmaceutical products as much as I can. As in damn near always. I compare it to someone who loves hiking and being out in nature. If that person rolls their ankle and needs to be in an ankle wrap for a month, do you really think that person will never go out and enjoy nature again? Life happens. When it does, I for one don’t feel like I need to cave on all my principles. And I learned a lot from having shingles.. Optimal health, I have found out over 30 years, is ALL ABOUT LEARNING.

My heart goes out to all of those who struggle to feel good and have found themselves on a bunch of these products. Man, I was on just ONE for a month and it scared the shit out of me. I just wasn’t myself as you will hear me talk about with Lisa.

I am not giving medical advise. But human to human, I can share with you that being on lots of these products scares the shit out of me. I know from experience that you can build a health team that has a traditional MD as PART of the team. But you might also have a naturopathic doctor, a chiropractor, a nutritionist, a good bodyworker, maybe a colonic hydrotherapist and a acupuncturist, maybe a yoga teacher of a somatic movement teacher. There are tons of resources to help you reframe and optimize your health. It takes a bit of time and money and a certain trial and error to find the right combination that is uniquely suited to you. But it is kind of fun to try all those things and DAMN, the health and vitality that are yours are absolutely PRICELESS. Enjoy the episode.

 

 

Basecamp for Men E205: Bitcoin vs. CBDC

E205: Bitcoin vs. CBDC

 

E205 Introduction

Hello Basecampers. Today is Season Five’s last episode about Bitcoin. That might be a relief to some of you. Next season it will be on the docket again though. Why do I include these as part of the center of the Basecamp curriculum? Well, because it gives us maximum optionality, to use a concept that my guest is fond of.

Why do I love Bitcoin? It represents everything the state and the Globalists hate: freedom, sovereignty, optionality, self-responsibility, WE THE PEOPLE. They want us to continue to adopt systems with a centralized control structure. WE THE PEOPLE counter with decentralized money and systems that will drastically alter our future and the possibilities that await us.

Oh, it will take awhile to cleanse our souls of the taint of fiat money-its corruption, debasement, its massive wealth inequality, to mention just a few. But the more you study Bitcoin, the more it reveals itself as a great ally to humanity. A quiet warrior who snuck behind enemy lines to detonate a fucking bomb into systems that sought to centralize everything into a system meant to suffocate and suppress all human expression of individuality, joy, and personal freedom.

Did you know that the US Dollar has lost 97 percent of its purchasing power since 1913? Did you know that the dollar has lost 17 percent of its purchasing power in just the last 3 years alone? Something has to give.

Do you still think Bitcoin is a passing fad with no intrinsic value? Well, it has become the fastest asset to reach 1 trillion dollars To put it in perspective, it took Microsoft 44 years to reach 1 trillion in market cap. Apple took 42 years, Amazon 24 years, and Google 21 years. Bitcoin achieved this in just 12 years! And we haven’t even got to the institutional adoption yet that will just get accelerated with the spot ETF approval that looks to be heading our way in early 2024. Bitcoin looks like a loaded spring from where I sit. Do yourself and your family a favor and get off zero bro? Yes I’m talking to you. Don‘t stand around flat-footed wondering what is what. At this point, I think you have all the information you need.

Here are a few memes that relate to today’s show. One from Bitcoiner and visionary author Jeff Booth who says “Imagine watching what happens to other nations and their people as their currencies lost value yet failing to connect the dots to the consequences of it in your own country. Imagine.” 

And one from author Tom Clancy, who says “What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms, and killing people. It‘s not good at much else.”

And a longer one but illuminating. I don‘t know who posted this, undoubtedly some Libertarian but it says

“125 years ago, you didn‘t have to ask permission form the government to: collect rain water, go fishing, own a property, start a business, build a home, get married, hunt, own a weapon, cut hair, sell a product, protest, sell food.

You can do virtually nothing without being extorted by the government and obtaining their permission first. If you still think you’re free, you‘re deluding yourself. You are just a free-range human living on a tax farm.”

And Jack Dorsey who simply says “Bitcoin changes absolutely everything.”

With these teeing up the episode, let’t get to our interview with Mark. Enjoy.
