Basecamp for Men E176: Unified in Our Humanity

E176: Unified in Our Humanity with Special Guest Nadine Ness

 

E176 Introduction

You all are aware by now how much the myth of the Hero‘s Journey has impacted my life and my worldview. I have taken this meta-narrative into my heart and have lived FROM this story as much as I am able to. I didn’t set out to be particularly heroic. I was not trying to prove myself, per se.

No. It was a selection process. As in the myth selected me after I had prepared myself to be more principled and courageous. Maybe you can see the same preparation for yourself. The Hero’s Journey loves characters that have grit and stand in principles. It makes the story more interesting, doesn‘t it? As humans, we want to see other principled humans battling ancient demons on behalf of the tribe.

There is part of us that enjoys witnessing these battles. Even if we don’t agree with the hero or character in the myth. And I suspect that for the ones who stand witness to things like courage or principles like freedom or truth, these are the ones that will soon stand alongside the ones that are already in this battle.

This is how myth works, in my humble opinion. We are all just now arriving at the destination, are you following me? Victory is on our side. And by “our side” I mean humanity as a whole.

My guest today walks this talk. Both as a Hero in the myth and an everyday mother who speaks from principles and from truth. Let’s go sit around the fire with her.

E176 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Nadine Ness. She opened my eyes to how I might be closing myself off and how sometimes I have pre-conceived notions that keep the division alive and well. Learning about your blind spots is part of what keeps The Hero’s Journey moving into new chapters! Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E173: Conversations with Walkaways

E173: Conversations with Walkaways with Special Guest

Keri Smith

 

E173 Introduction

 

As promised, we continue with our series of episodes about the Walkaways or those who have dared to leave the left, or leave the church of the woke. I like how we are unfolding this season. Sometimes we are diving into a Walkaway episode, sometimes its Bitcoin, sometimes it’s about how the spiritual war is unfolding and what WE THE PEOPLE need to be aware of. Hopefully it all ties together for you.

I do feel this show is in God’s hands. There is a synchronicity and grace in how the guests arrive and even what I feel inspired to share or dialogue with you about. Hopefully, you will feel that the show is giving you some insights and resources that you are not hearing elsewhere or maybe its reinforcing something in you. An alignment with truth perhaps.

Today’s conversation is one of my recent favorites. Keri Smith and I, (Keri is the creator of Deprogrammed), share our Walkaway stories. Both of us long-time liberals. Each of us using our innate wisdom and discernment to find the road less-travelled and then using podcasts to call back to those that may need to also find the road back to sanity, back to truth. Enjoy today’s episode.

Keri Smith Bio

My guest today is Keri Smith. Keri is a thought-leader, a walkaway from the woke ideology, and the creator and host of the podcast and You Tube channel Deprogrammed. Here is my interview with Keri Smith.

E173 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Keri Smith as much as I did. Her and I are in alignment on so many things, it’s fun to go back and forth. It resonated with me when she said that wokeism is an authoritarian ideology. You must comply or else.

And I love how she handles the pronoun thing for transgendered individuals. It’s the first time I have heard such a humanist distinction and I like it. I am going to adopt it.

To find Keri and her work, go to her You Tube channel Deprogrammed for all sorts of excellent content. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E161: Pandemic Amnesty?

E161: Pandemic Amnesty?

 

E161 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, today is a short-format Firestarter for your enjoyment.

I know liberals are upset at Elon Musk for taking over Twitter. But he will restore free speech to a very important platform. I was kicked off Twitter for questioning the safety of the experimental MRNa shots. I had on a doctor that did not like what she was seeing and I asked her some questions. That alone got me booted and all my followers erased. The message from Twitter was loud and clear: conform to our mono-narrative or be erased.

Today my unwavering stance on informed consent and medical freedom of choice has aged quite well, hasn’t it?. I know a lot of people. Most took the vaccine or some of them anyways. I also know a lot of people who did not take the MRNa shot. Here is what I have to say about that.

Of all the people that refused all of the Covid shots and risked job, gave up access to travel and restaurants and medical care, of all of those people who were ostrasized by friends, family, and society (and I am one of them) not one single one, NOT ONE, has a regret for not taking them. Think about that for a second. Not one has even a sliver of regret for standing in their truth, speaking out, and being blacklisted damn near everyone. These people are warriors that stood for freedom and their truth. I salute all of you and I am proud to stand alongside you.

 

Basecamp for Men E157: The Cult of Western Medicine

E157: The Cult of Western Medicine with Special Guest Rochelle Summers

 

E157 Introduction

With all the misinformation and disinformation coming out of the MSM about Covid and the vaccination program engineered by Big Pharma, something has gradually come into focus. That our blind trust in the “medical authorities” when they are intimately tied to something as corrupt as the pharmaceutical industry, no longer serves us. It is never easy to challenge something as monolithic as the western medical industry and the pharma-hydra that birthed it.

The fact is that more and more people are waking up. To the lies and deception. About the origins of Covid, about the so-called vaccines. And about the gaslighting and censorship that was administered by MSM and Big Tech.

Covid and its aftermath has turned out to be a massive red-pill for an unsuspecting public. Creating at first a sort of cognitive dissonance as most people put masks on and did what they were told. But people are going to be PISSED OFF when they get the full story of the Covid origins. Just wait. You can see it cresting just over the hill there and barreling towards us like a freight train.

It never ceased to amaze me how much blowback ordinary citizens and parents received by simply asking questions and challenging the mono-narrative. God forbid ask questions or have a different perspective or make different choices. Oye vay.

It has been an exhausting journey yet here WE THE PEOPLE stand. Wiser to the corruption, seeing the pattern, calling out each over-reach by the Globalists with more and more confidence and larger and larger numbers.

If you are just now starting to figure this out, we welcome you. For every one of you who have held two or more perspectives and haven‘t thrown the rest of us under the bus, I salute you. This information war has not been easy on any of us.

I will finish with a quote from the actor Woody Harrelson ,who said “The last people I would trust with my health is Big Pharma and Big Government because neither one of those strike me as caring entities.” Aho.

Enjoy the interview.

 

Basecamp for Men E97: The Bottom Side of the Rock

E97: The Bottom Side of the Rock with Special Guest author Marie Jones

 

E97 Introduction

Two quotes to start off. One from George Carlin who said “I have certain rules. My first rule, I don’t believe anything the government tells me.”

And another from Aldous Huxley who said “The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.”

Here in Huxley’s quote, we see a way to detect the work of the Deep State’s media propaganda. Are you moving a certain group of people beneath you? Is the other side stupid or racist or uniformed or crazy? Or is this what you are being told to believe by propagandists?

We have clearly been swimming in disinformation and I believe it is making us sick. And most are only vaguely aware of it. Or the left is only aware of the propaganda of the right and vice versa. We seem to be, as a whole, quite poor at detecting spin that is inside our own silo.

I find it useful to assume anything coming out of MSM is spin. There is no objective journalism any longer on the mainstream airwaves. WE THE PEOPLE know this. More and more are coming to terms with it.

My guest today has a quote in her book: “Covid was one big mess of misinformation, disinformation, progaganda, and spin. Beneath it all, were people trying to dog paddle and not drown in the chorus of chaos, waiting for facts that only time will tell.”

I think this captures the past year and a half in succinct fashion. We are still trying to make sense of it as the facts have been slow to roll in. Of course, MSM has not assisted us in understanding the situation but, then again, that is not their roll, is it? Quite the opposite.

I saw a great little post from Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers. She says “The global corporate shill press is NOT the real media. Individuals with their pens, phones, computers, and cameras are the real media.”

I completely agree and we are seeing an activated and awakened citizenry right now. I would also add microphones and podcasts to that list of tools of WE THE PEOPLE. It is how we are able to counter the deception campaign that has been waged against us. We seek the truth, have conversations, report what we find, and let you decide for yourself who seeking to empower and who is seeking to disempower you.

As they say We Are the News now. My guest today is one such citizen journalist and an excellent and prolific writer.
