Basecamp for Men E232: Addiction and Faith

E232: Addiction and Faith

 

E232 Introduction

The different stories around addiction has been one of the recurring themes throughout the seasons here on Basecamp. Why? Well, because yours truly has participated in this particular Hero’s Journey.

As the host of this show, I keep my eye out for courageous and inspiring people from all walks of life. Since the MSM will only tell its version of what are as humans. And their version seems to be that as a species we are weak, violent, dependent victims who need others to tell us what to do and how to go about it.

I feel it is my duty to consistently present MY version of humanity, which is filled with love, respect, courage, and fellowship. We will always be presented in a false light by those in mainstream media. Why? Because they don’t want us united and inspired and proud. They don’t want us to living with dignity and walking in the Light with one another. If they truly wanted these things for us, then you would find much different stories about us in the newspapers and on the television, would you not?

Since they won‘t tell a true version of our collective Hero’s Journey, then it is up to us humble writers and podcasters to share our story with each other and future generations. And if you ever hear people saying things like “humans are just shitty by nature” or “we are the reason everything is going to shit” and they refuse to acknowledge our enemy or the war we have been immersed in, I challenge you to correct them (as I do). For this attitude towards our fellow humans show the depth of indoctrination in a deeply anti-human narrative and one that is constantly and consistently pushed in our faces by the bullhorns of MSM.

Today we sit down with another courageous human and one from Kenya! I hope you can hear our common ground and that we are both warriors for Team Human. Enjoy the interview.

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.

Basecamp for Men E227: We Welcome All Americans

E227: We Welcome All Americans with Special Guest

Jolie Lansdowne

 

E227 Introduction

America has always and will always be built on and fortified by civic involvement. This has been true throughout our history. However, WE THE PEOPLE have gotten a bit flabby here, haven’t we? We have forgotten that sleeves rolled up is the American way, regardless of political orientation or philosophical leanings.

Some of it really isn’t our fault, not really anyways. We have not been educated as to the importance of this local involvement. A sort of resignation and cynicism has slowly taken over the American mindset. That my involvement really doesn’t make a difference since there is so much power and corruption near the top.

The establishment is hoping that his continues to be your perspective. As this will keep any restorative movement for the American Republic at bay. For what is good for WE THE PEOPLE and our Constitutional Republic is almost never in the interests of the ruling Elite. Have you noticed that?

I love what my guest talks about today when she mentioned her Grandfather, who fought at Normandy. She reflects on how can she honor her Grandfather’s sacrifice and honor her nation by continuing to serve? It‘s a great question right now. How can I help this nation that has done so much for me and my family? Lady Liberty has been under seize from those that wish do her and her people harm. What can I do to come to her aid? In 2024 and beyond, this might be the most important civic question we can ask of ourselves.

Let‘s go sit around the fire with my guest today. A friend, a mom, and proud (and involved) American. Enjoy the interview.

Jolie Lansdowne Bio-

My guest today is Jolie Lansdowne. Jolie is a wife and mother (who homeschooled kids for 20 years, a local business owner, and a civil servant who serves as the Legislative District Chair of the 34th district right here in King County. She is a woman who believes that engangement in local government is one of the most effective ways we can impact positive change for our next generation. Here is my interview with Jolie Lansdowne. 

E227 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our conversation with Jolie as much as I did. We talked about all the PCO vacancies across the nation.. This is a great opportunity to help in a small, effective way. If you find yourself feeling helpless and upset about what is happening in your city or your neighborhood or your nation, join us as PCO in whatever state you reside in. Let’s put good Americans in those vacancies. It’s a great way to help restore America and stand in the principles that are near and dear to YOU. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

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.
