Basecamp for Men E166: The War We Are All In

E166: The War We Are All In

 

E166 Introduction

“I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I‘m a human being, first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”         

Malcolm X

It is one of the defining characteristics of the times that we live in. This dawning realization. That like generations before us, we are engaged in a world war, a conflict of epic proportions. However, unlike previous generations, this one is not fought exclusively in the battlefields of Europe or the waters of the Pacific. Warfare has evolved and changed with technology. Make no mistake Basecampers, this one is for the hearts and souls and future of this nation, the world, and the direction that the planet will move towards. What sort of future will we have? One of personal freedom and cooperation. One of fellowship and brotherhood and shared ideas?

Or will we continue down the Marxist road of confusion and division? The road to totalitarianism. Or a tightly-controlled, top-down hydra with machine-like precision and larger and larger government giving us more and more restrictions on our expression, our humanity, our way of life? The war we find ourselves in is a war of information and ideas. It is a war of narratives. And it pits We The People with our humanity against an entity that does not care for humanity. In fact, quite the opposite. This Globalist/communist adversary is set on a Great Reset where the population of the planet is trimmed significantly and each person succumbs to the rules of unelected Elites, after a series of so-called “crisis”. On Basecamp, we have named this over and over again as the Great Reset vs. the Great Awakening. Some call it God and Christ against the Luciferians. Others simply say Globalists vs Freedom. Communism vs. America and the freedom loving nations.. You can add Bitcoin vs. CBDC as one of the battlefields, I think……enjoy the episode!

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We have come to the end of season four. Today will be the last episode of 2022. We will start back up in early January of 2023. For today, I have a Basecamp Classic.

But before we get to that, I wanted to announce that we now have categories for all of the episodes. This has been a project I was meaning to get to for quite some time and I really wanted to have all episodes categorized before we went on break, so you could browse and click on some episodes that are in a category that you are particularly interested in.

The categories are as follows: Men and Shadow Work, Our Hero’s Journey, Mythic Viewpoints, The Walkaways, Firestarters Tony Rezac Solo EPs, Red Pills and the Great Awakening, The Freedom Chronicles, Bitcoin and Our Future, A Walk on the Wild Side, Tony’s Favorites and Misc.

Hopefully this will help you and future listeners find the episodes that most assist you on your Hero’s Journey.

Today’s epiosode is a Basecamp Classic. EP 60 Living a Mythic Life with my friend and mentor Jon Wilson.

And Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a joyous Holiday season and find just the right balance of friends, family, cheer, and rest and renewal. Thank you Basecampers and I will see you all around the fire after the first of the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 E160: The Path of Humility

E160: The Path of Humility w Special Guest

Michael Knight

 

E160 Introduction

Humility. Being humble. This is not a characteristic that comes natural for us in the West, is it? We are encouraged at a young age to not only have a healthy ego but to strive to be special, to be “the Man” in whatever endeavors you seek to make your mark. Be the smartest, the best, be special, be famous, blah blah blah.

We can see this lack of humility all over the place. Especially wherever there is “status”. In corporate business, with lawyers and doctors, with celebrities, with our athletes, and within ourselves. It is not something that many of us were taught, or so it seems. Humbleness isn’t flashy is it? So why cultivate it?

Yet something new is emerging as my guest today so eloquently expresses. That the humble path is the earthy and soulful path. That it has an elegance and a sort of magic to it.

I remember reading about the world famous New Zealand rugby team the All-Blacks. They are the greatest rugby team in world. Legendary. What do they teach and lead with? You guessed it, humility. The author of a book about the All-Blacks went to their training facility to interview their most well-known and most beloved players and found them happily sweeping out the locker room. Can you imagine seeing Michael Jordan or Kobe or Aaron Rogers or Aaron Judge sweeping up the garbage? Neither can I.

Yet, this humbleness permeates much of the male culture in Polynesia. The All-Blacks have many of the indigenous Maori and this emphasis on service comes from them. I have noticed this same, wonderful characteristic in many of the Polynesian men I have met. A gentle nature. A humility. A willingness to serve the tribe in whatever way is needed in the moment.

There is an invitation here for growth. For you and I to surrender to the process of letting go: of old identities and ways of being, of our arrogance, of old behaviors and ways of thinking and feeling that no longer serve us. The invitation is to travel lighter my friend. And right-sizing the ego and embracing the humble path may just be the key. My guest today is a friend and a man who exemplifies what I am talking about. Let’s go sit around the fire with him.

Michael Knight Bio-

My guest today is Michael Knight. Michael is a friend, former professional basketball player, a mentor/trainer and entrepreneur. Here is my interview with Michael Knight.

E160 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Michael Knight. He is part of a new generation of athletes that carry a strong spiritual vibe about them. These athletes express some deep wisdom about who we are and that, sometimes when we focus on ALL of us getting better, each individual finds his or her unique Hero’s Journey in life. All of that resonates here.

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E159: The Walkaways

E159: The Walkaways with Special Guest

Gracie West

 

E159 Introduction

The walkaway movement has certainly gathered much momentum in recent months. When I say walkaway I am, of course, talking about the walkaways from the Democratic party and their radical Marxist agenda. People are figuring it out, like my guest today. Once you see the tools and techniques of this deep conditioning, you can’t unsee it. That is how this awakening works. It has a momentum all its own. You may well be next my friend.

And the walkaway reasons are varied although you will hear variations of the same themes. Maybe you are a parent and you are starting to notice all the strange things happening in public school. The indoctrination against America, tradition, and family. Or the insane sexual content that public schools are exposing our young children to. What 6 or 7 year old needs to hear all about drag queens and gender reassignment? Good god, let them be kids for a few years. Enough with all the grooming.

Or maybe you are noticing (like Lisa and I did) that your child’s intellectual development was or is stagnating. One reason for this might be that they are not reading books anymore in public schools. Did you know that? That’s right. No more reading or writing book reports. Why is that? Indoctrination and ideology have taken the place of reading, writing and arithmetic.

Or perhaps curiosity got the best of you and you started to listen to a Jordan Peterson video to see what all the hubbub was about. Maybe Dr. Peterson opened your eyes to something, as he has done for countless other liberals and former liberals.

Or you may have wandered over to Telegram to see what all those crazy Maga people are talking about and found yourself agreeing with or at the least understanding a few too many of them. It’s been known to happen.

I believe that when it starts to dawn on WE THE PEOPLE that we have a common enemy and we have identified that enemy, the infighting will more or less stop. We have been choking on the lies and deception, haven’t we? But I can see coming out of the fog of war into the light. What a long, strange trip it has been. 

Gracie West Bio-

My guest today is Gracie West. Gracie is an author, a parent, a former feminist and another member of the growing walk-away tribe. Here is my interview with Gracie West.
