Basecamp for Men E326: The Collective Narrative Fatigue

E326: The Collective Narrative Fatigue w Special Guest Dr. Chase Spears

 

E326 Introduction

I heard a new term this week….enshitification. As in the entire population is witnessing the enshitification of everything. Politics, education, culture, morals, the degradation of our cities. People all over the country have immense battle fatigue. We are tired of being punched in the face at every turn.

Politicians watch out for themselves or carry a Globalist/anti-America agenda. Government schooling dumbs down our kids or turns them into weak transgenderists. The cities look like shit (at least all the liberal ones do) and people are just fucking tired. I live here in Seattle and have bought a new house in the central part of the state. Far away from the drug addiction, homelessness, garbage and graffiti, and all the mental illness that so many of our citizens have here.

One of the great goals of the Marxist/Globalist agenda is to utterly demoralize humans and get them more and more dependent on the state. As far as I can see, they have done a really effective job on both of these and its downright depressing.

I don’t mean to hit such a bummer of a note this week but good Americans and good Christians seem over it all, don’t they? Even liberals look weak and defeated. I would say the consensus morale is bruised and bloodied and sick of being ruled over by Globalist pedophile Satanic elites who hate us. Pretty much sums it up the trenches.

But, on a better note (before we get to our excellent guest)

A couple of quotes for you before we get to today’s guest. First one is from the Hodge Twins who posted:

“A school in Washington state allegedly transitioned a girl without her parents knowledge or consent. They reportedly encouraged her to identify as a boy, roomed her with boys on school trips, gave her a secrete burner phone, and even pushed her to live with another family. Thankfully, her parents found out, immediately removed her from the school, moved out of state, and got her away from the situation. She is now reportedly thriving. This case highlights a growing and deeply disturbing problem: schools and staff actively working to undermine parental authority and push gender ideology on children in secret. Parents are being treated as obstacles instead of the primary decision-makers in their child’s life.”

From Dr. Paul McHugh, Professor of Psychiatry at John Hopkins School of Medicine who says: “Transgenderism is the only mental illness demanding that the rest of society adopt the patient’s delusion as part of the patient’s treatment.”

Oh, but you can‘t criticize the transgender narrative, that means you are an awful and hateful person, right?

My guest today is a military veteran and podcaster and the conversation gets into some great topics: the infestation of DEI in the military, the long-march of Marxism through our institutions and culture, and the attack Christians and their values throughout the past few decades.

Before that, let’s hear from our sponsor.

Basecamp for Men E325: Tick Tock Tick Tock

E325: Tick Tock Tick Tock

 

E325 Introduction

I have been wanting to do a Firestarter and talk to you directly this week. As you know, the Firestarter format comes in at usually 10 minutes or so. Sometime a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter.

What a holding period we seem to be in, huh? People are mad at Trump for a variety of reasons….Iran, Israel, and whatever else is in their craw. I’ve been saying this for a long-time and I still think it holds true. There are layers and layers of information that we are not privy to or rather we are given the information in a sort of drip-drip-drip fashion. No matter the topic, WE THE PEOPLE are not fully informed. We don’t know what President Trump and military white hats (aka the Alliance) and Space Force insiders know about the time we live in. It makes the whole thing a bit murky and this ambiguity is part and parcel of this narrative war we all witness and participant in.

I get the frustration. We continue to see election fraud (again) and nobody has been arrested from the Epstein satanic pedophilia blackmail racket. I guess they fooled us, or so it seems. Does President Trump take orders from Netanyahu? He might. Or is it just made to look that way for the time being? I understand the argument. Yet, something big seems to be lurking under of all this, doesn’ it? We do not live in ordinary times, not by a long-shot.

Is America a nation of Divine Providence, as our mythology suggests? These may well be the years we find out. Let’s keep the faith Basecampers. Faith in God and Christ. Faith in the destiny of our nation. And (the left and center will hate this) but faith in Donald Trump to represent us well in whatever challenges we face next.

There is a burning question at the center of much of this. Can America and the world enter into a new Golden Age? It’s possible but can be difficult to imagine, even for us optimists. Everyone seems so beaten down by the relentless black pilling. The corruption and deception of the U.S. Corporation (a foreign owned entity based in DC) is staggering in its complexity, fraud, and deception. Could Donald Trump dismantle the Corporation? He could. But as much as I can see this in a series of jaw-dropping steps (starting perhaps with a dismantling of the unlawful IRS). For almost everyone, this will seem like a pipe-dream. And if we can’t picture something happening, does this in itself prevent it from happening? Hmm.

Which leaves us with God saving this ragged story in the 11th hour or the Galactic Federation (which we have spoken about on a number of occasions) stepping in. With all the President’s posts about Space Force, this timeline still seems in play to me. What about you? Are you able to hold onto a timeline of our future that has some interesting possibilities?

Remember, the Globalist/Luciferians want to dictate the terms in our minds. So they project lots of fear and deception and hopelessness about humanity. We win when we don’t buy what they’re selling. With that being said, let‘s keep our wits about us Basecampers.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E324: Natural Law is Our Foundation

E324: Natural Law is Our Foundation w Special Guest Will Keller

 

E324 Introduction

One of the themes on Basecamp the past two or three seasons has been Natural Law, true freedom, and sovereignty. I think it is one of the most underrated and misunderstood topics going these days.

Central to Natural Law is a deep understanding that our rights come from God our Creator and they are naturally yours. The Government does not give you your rights. The Constitution does not give you your rights…it protects you from the government infringing on your God given rights, are you following me?

If you refuse to acknowledge and accept that you have natural rights, you might as well affix chains to your wrists and live out your days as a slave to those who YOU believe grant your rights.

By our humanity alone, we have natural God-given rights. To think otherwise suggests that we get our rights from another source. Does the government give us our rights? Does a bureaucrat? Do we wait for a new policy or law to find our what our rights are? No. Not at all.

The reason this perspective is so important is because if man grants our rights, then man can take them away. If you rely on the government to grant rights, then the government can take them away, or decide not to grant them.

You have a God-given right to enjoy freedom and liberty, to come and go as you please in your pursuit of happiness. Every single person on earth is free to enjoy these things as long as we do not infringe on the natural God-given rights of others. I’m not allowed to infringe on your rights and you’re not allowed to infringe on mine.

By your humanity and mere existence on Earth, you have natural God-given unalienable rights. You are free, as long as you remember the source of your rights. The conversation today hopefully adds another piece in our understanding of this. And now, onto our sponsor and our interview.

 Will Keller Bio

Will Keller is a speaker and educator dedicated to revealing the causal factors that shape human experience, from behavior and perception to morality and consequence. He translates the principles of Natural Law, objective morality, and human behavior into practical insights, empowering individuals to reclaim responsibility, elevate awareness, and build true, sustainable freedom from the inside out. 

E324 Final Thoughts 

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. We will continue to explore this theme of sovereignty as our foundation along with all the other topics we plan on covering this season and beyond. Discover his work at  https://willkeller.com

 

Basecamp for Men E322: Circling Love

E322: Circling Love with Special Guest Noel Rudhe

 

E322 Introduction

One of the things you may have noticed over the years is how much I love to interview friends of mine. As much as I pride myself as a good interviewer of guests that I just meet a few minutes before showtime, there is an intimacy and ease that comes when I really know my guest.

Such is the case with today’s guest. A friend of mine who just wrote a book! It is called Circling Love and is a deep, funny, authentic inquiry into the question of what is love? Today we cover such topics as: why you don‘t have to like someone to love them, why are we so often kind to the world and unkind to ourselves, and, for those that had traumatic upbringings….does this sharpen our ability to love more than hinder it?

We cover all this and more in this far-ranging conversation. On to our sponsor and then to our excellent guest. Enjoy the interview.

Noel Rudhe Bio

My guest today is Noel Rudhe. Noel is an writer and painter and all-around creative who just wrote a new book titled Circling Love. Here is my interview with Noel Rudhe. 

E322 Final Thoughts

If you liked that episode and want to listen to another one with Noel. Her and I did E221 The Wisdom of Optimism back in the now-legendary Season Six. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

The American Pulse E26: Elections and Saving America

E26: Elections and Saving America w Special Guest Brian Burnett

 

E26 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. We have a really good interview today with one of our State Representatives who was kind enough to make time for us. Our conversation runs far and wide but front and center right now for me (and I think for some of you as well) are two questions: What do we do about all the graft and corruption that we ALL see? Somali day care centers with no kids stealing millions of taxpayers dollars? Well guess what? We have something to the tune of 400-plus Somali daycare centers right here in WA state. How much do you want to bet that many of them have few, if any, kids in them?

The other question that is burning for me is: can we trust the elections? Does anybody (right, center, or left) really trust the elections in this country right now? I don’t think so. And President Trump doesn’t think so either, which is why he introduced the Save America Act. This is meant to restore faith in our elections and our political process. Not only in our nation but in our great state of Washington.

Olympia will fight it all the way, no doubt. It’s a bit ironic, isn’t it? With all the corruption in the air and Democrats are going to fight a bill that simply says only Americans can vote in American elections and we need a proper photo ID. Seems pretty basic, doesn’t it? You would think.

Let me illustrate this a bit further. I can’t vote in French or German or Australian elections. Why? Because I’m not French or German or Australian. I have no citizenship in those countries, I don’t pay taxes there, so I have no right to vote there. The same common sense and laws apply right here in America. Just because you are here in our country, does not mean you have earned he right to vote. There is a clear process for that. Follow the process if you want to vote.

On another gentler note, with spring in the air, one of my prayers is for a rebirth of our great nation. That good Americans serving in all sorts of capacities will tip the scales in favor of WE THE PEOPLE and all of those that love America, no matter their political leanings. And I believe we are seeing this in real time.

Before we get to our excellent guest today, I have a couple of memes for you. And remember that after our interview, KCGOP Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne will land the plane in our final segment.

From Laura Matsue who says “Life really comes at you fast. One day I was a leftist because I was into organic food and not taking pharmaceuticals and now I’m a far-right extremist for being into those exact same things.”

And from Etheric Echoes who says “Hope is not naïve optimism but the stubburn refusal to grant darkness the final word. It is the quiet rebellion that plants gardens in the midst of ruins” Love this!

Now, onto our sponsor and our excellent guest. Enjoy!
