E241: Navigating Transgenderism

E241: Navigating Transgenderism with Special Guest

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger

 

E241 Dedication

 This episode is dedicated to all the parents out there. All the ones who got swept up in this Transgender insanity and all who are about to go through it. My heart goes out to you and I hope this episode and the resources mentioned assist you in finding a healthy and sane path for your young person and your family. May God Bless you all.

 E241 Introduction 

Today’s topic is a good one……navigating the Transgender minefield as a parent who may not have an inkling about what the so called “authorities” have in mind for your kids.

I like what Dr. Miriam Grossman said when she wrote “I want the following truths- recognized by everyone on the planet aside from gender studies professors and grad students until about 2 weeks ago- do be acknowledged. That sex is not assigned at birth, it’s established at conception.” AHO.

There is a movement afoot that tells your kids (and expects everyone, adults and children alike, to meekly follow) that whenever a boy SAYS they are a girl then the ARE a girl. Whenever a girl SAYS she’s a boy, then she IS a boy.

Basecampers, they are coming for your kids. Are you awake yet? There is a cult-like crusade that targets them 24/7.

Let’s be clear. To indoctrinate children and young adults with falsehoods and drive a wedge between them and their loving parents is evil. To encourage them on a path of that leads to harm is evil. To describe it all as a journey to authenticity and to entice children with glitter and rainbows is evil.

To echo last weeks sentiments with Dr. Mark McDonald, child psychiatrist extraordinaire. Schools cannot be trusted. They are a major site of indoctrination for the Transgender ideology.

And before we get to today‘s excellent interview, I wanted to read you a quote by the great author JK Rowling, who has been a very vocal critic to all this insanity. She said “I don’t believe that even a 14 year-old can truly understand what the loss of fertility is. At 14 I would have said that I don’t want children but motherhood has been the most joyful, wonderful thing in my life.”

She goes on to say that the best cure for gender dysphoria is the let children go through puberty. I couldn’t agree more. And now, onto our sponsor and our guest.

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.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E238: Basecamp Classics

E238: Basecamp Classics

 

E238 Introduction

It seems we have crossed a rubicon with the Trump assassination attempt. As in things are about to get REAL INTERESTING for everyone regardless of political affiliation. Personally I was reading on the wires for weeks and months that there would be a FAILED assassination attempt on President Trump. It is one of the markers in the military game theory that is playing out before our eyes. It seems everything they do to Trump makes him stronger, doesn’t it? His following grows as they have attempted everything: impeachment, character assassination, indictment, arrest, trial, and now an attempt on his life.

The left looks disheveled. They are stuck wishing the CIA/Deep State had succeeded in murdering a President, a Patriot, a father because the MSM has told them incessantly that he is dangerous to them. Yet, they can’t express that or they look like a shell of a human, void of morality, brainwashed by the Marxist/Globalist enemies of our true tribe, which is WE THE PEOPLE and humanity. It must be a sort of nightmare for the left, who look flat-footed, spouting off tired old fake news/ Mockingbird Media sound bites about President Trump and his loyal band of America First patriots.

One of the interesting things that came through the fog of war is that the MSM was not reporting it as an assassination attempt. They all said that he had fallen and scraped his ear. Even thought there were hundreds of videos taken that captured the gunfire and Trump coming up off the ground, surrounded by Secret Service with blood running from his ear and down his face. None of the video evidence is hard to find, its ubiquitous. Think about that for a second. An assassination attempt on President Trump and YOUR news source, what YOU rely on to shape your understanding of things, tells you he merely fell. Are you starting to see why the Mockingbird Fake News can’t be trusted. They are LYING to you constantly.

Well I have been preparing a solo episode and a couple of great interviews coming up but I just wasn’t happy with the finished product. Not yet anyways. I will get this one to you soon. I like to save the Basecamp Classics, reruns of episodes I feel are top shelf, when I get in a pinch and I try to only do one per quarter. Today is the day.

I tried to pick one that fit with the news of the day and may give you some inspiration and insight. We are going to make it through the fog of war Basecampers. We keep ticking off markers that show us that things are moving in our direction. Things are likely to get pretty chaotic in the coming weeks and months. Our strength is in our fellowship, standing in our values, knowing who we are as WE THE PEOPLE and that we represent something to the world as Americans. It is our divine right to stand against tyranny and the totalitarian dreams of petty Marxists who are no match for us.

Today is a Basecamp Classic from back in Season Four titled My Favorite F-Word, which is FREEDOM, of course. Enjoy the Classic and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

Basecamp for Men E237: Hope for Humanity

E237: Hope for Humanity with Special Guest Carrie Cee

 

E237 Introduction

Today‘s episode is one that I have had in the hopper for awhile. It is with Bitcoiner Carrie Cee and I absolutely LOVED our conversation. I have had in on the shelf for while to try and spread out the Bitcoin content a bit more.

Some people have reached out asking about Bitcoin price action. Why has BTC gone down after the halving? It’s a volatile asset but still the best place to store long-term value. My two cents worth: don’t get your face too close to the window when viewing BTC.

Pull back, relax, let the market come to you…..and stack more sats for God’s sake! Nobody can predict the price movement with much accuracy. This is true for the Equity markets as well. Once you have self-custodied whatever amount of Bitcoin feels right for you and your family, just sit tight. As a side note, I believe that whenever the stock market freaks out, Bitcoin will be seen as a safe haven for value. The two are not correlated, not much anyways.

Let’s get to today‘s interview after a few memes.

From Humble Bitcoiner comes this nugget “A nice car and a big house are the old status symbols. The ultimate flex is freedom. Time freedom, location freedom, and financial freedom.”

“I like the Libertarian vision: let live in peace. Ever since I was a kid I‘ve resented people who go around telling other people how they should live.”

Clint Eastwood

“I’ve never understood the political fear of Libertarians. Sure, they’re not in power now but someday they might take over and uh, leave you alone, I guess, since that’s their whole deal.” It’s like being afraid of cats.

Edward Snowden

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”

Henry David Thoreau

Carrie Cee Bio

My guest today is Carrie Cee. Carrie is a Bitcoin enthusiast, Libertarian, and the creator and host of the excellent podcast Bitcoin People. Here is my interview with Carrie Cee.

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E228: The Sign of the Times

E228: The Sign of the Times with Special Guest Phoenix

 

E228 Introduction

The sign of the times. What are the sign of the times? Well, I would say a few things jump out at me.

First off, we live in a time of great corruption and deception. That much should be obvious to all, no matter your political orientation. We are all witness to the collapse of a corrupt global empire (the Deep State) that is being punched out by a pro-humanity alliance. Can you see the dynamic in this conflict? Are you aware of the propaganda war that you are swimming in? It’s all around you Basecamper. In fact, this podcast is a very small player in this war, doing what we can to assist humanity (no matter your political leanings).

The Globalists and their 3-letter agencies have done their best to pit us against each other. They have tried to demonize and pit you and I against one another, haven’t they? According to the MSM, if I disagree with you on anything, I must be your enemy or a terrorist or a lunatic. All for having my own opinions about things. And they tell me the same thing about you liberals (of which I was one for thirty fucking years!) But that‘s not good enough. You must be my enemy since you hate Trump or you LOVE experimental pharmaceutical shots, or you really believe in compliance and obedience. Those beliefs do not make you my enemy. Probably not my friend either but I don’t need to loathe or hate you for differing on any of it, do I?

It doesn’t make you stupid either. Sure, you LOOK stupid wearing that mask all over the place but that is a matter of taste. You just have SOME different values perhaps. Or the inputs you’ve received are different so we are arriving at different conclusions. My honest question to those on the left…..do you even know that you are in a war? Or has that escaped you?

Another sign of the time is that there are new weapons being deployed by both sides. For instance, there is a new weapon for WE THE PEOPLE. A hard monetary asset that has arrived in the nick of time to assist humanity in this transitional period. For one of the most powerful weapons the Globalists use is a fiat money ponzi scheme that they can debase through endless printing or QE (to use a Keynsian phrase) and then unlawfully steal from humans using lawfare and deception to make it look like its normal and good for people to “pay their taxes”. Remember, the IRS is not the gov’t. They are a private, foreign-owned corporation that steals your money and uses lawfare and jurisdiction to fool you. We see what your doing. Your not fooling WE THE PEOPLE. Until Bitcoin, there was no way out for the average person to opt out of this rigged game, no matter their nation.

What will happen in 2024? Nobody knows for sure. Everyone I know is doing a sort of light-prepping. Keeping two or three months worth of dry goods, getting their bug-out list and plan ready, having some cash on hand. Making sure there’s ammo for your firearms, if that is your thing. My point? No matter your politics, people are feeling the need to look at worse-case scenarios and plan accordingly. A lot of this stuff is common sense and I know you all are aware of this and I trust you to be making preparations that work for you and your family.

You guys know that I really like interviewing authors, podcasters, thought-leaders. But I also like interviewing everyday heroes like my guest today. It helps me to find out what everyday people are dealing with. The challenges and victories that they are having.

Don’t ever forget that we are all on a Heroic Journey together. Each playing his or her part. Let‘s go find out my guest is doing to play her part and keep awake and alive in these strange, deceptive times we live in. Enjoy the interview.
