Basecamp for Men E251: The Courageous Few

E251: The Courageous Few with Special Guest Seak Smith

 

E251 Introduction

As so many of you know, I am attracted to courage and to Hero’s, both men and women. My wife is courageous, all of the friends I have made the past four years are courageous, and many of my guests here on Basecamp are courageous.

I like to connect and speak and amplify the voices and hearts that are leading humanity. For we are in a collective Hero’s Journey, are we not? The Hero’s Journey is always for the few, never for masses. It is the faint trail, not the well-worn road that lead humanity into its new golden era.

I used to think that my tribe (which is humanity at large, not just Conservatives and Libertarians) has a courage problem. However, I am starting to realize that we don’t need the masses to have more courage. They seem to be still looking at the authorities and Big Pharma to tell them what they should do. No, we just need the few, like my guest today, to continue to lead us on the faint and twilight path that will lead us into the rarified air and vibrations we seek.

The frequencies are changing. We are more unified than any of us can imagine. I don’t need you to wake up. You either are or you are not. The dye has been cast. Here is a quote that illustrates where we stand.

From realderekutly (in regards to RFK Jr.)

“When a lifelong Democrat, from an iconic Democrat family, who tried to run for President as a Democrat, who’s running mate was a Democrat, warns you of the dangers of voting for the Democrat in this election, you should probably listen.”

Let’s go chat with my guest today. Another courageous Warrior who gives me hope. Our future is in good hands, despite all the noise from the Globalists and the radical left, who always seek to divide and conquer us. Enjoy the interview.

Seak Smith Bio-

My guest today is Seak Smith. Seak is a mother of three, a proud patriot, and founder of Mom Army, an organization that was created to activate and mobilize fierce protectors of children. Here is my interview with Seak Smith.

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Truth is doing the work. We are simply here to resonate with it. And go get yourself a cool T-shirt from our sponsor at http://www.standupnowapparel.com

Basecamp for Men E250: The War on Innocence

E250: The War on Innocence with Special Guest Simon Esler

 

E250 Introduction

Of all the issues that our world faces, there is perhaps no greater indicator of enemy and intent than the war on children and on innocence itself.

It’s interesting to note that citizen journalists have reported over 300,000 missing children from our border. Think about that! From the MSM, it has been fucking CRICKETS. No surprise there as they have been running cover for this for decades, haven”t they? 300,000 missing little ones and the Globalists have nothing to share with WE THE PEOPLE. Why not? Well, the CIA Mockingbird media work for our adversary and they exist to keep you in the dark. You know this already.

Do you think this number is exaggerated? By how much? Can you see the flawed logic? “There hasn’t been 300K, it has ONLY been 100k, or 80K, or 50K” Are you following me? Which is the acceptable number of missing children at our wide open southern border? Is there a number that is acceptable? To what ends?

In addition to gagging on this big old red pill is something even more insidious and clever. It is the war on innocence itself. This is directly impacting a whole generation or generation and a half. Kids are not left alone anymore, do you notice that? There seems to be no time in government indoctrination camps for innocent and imaginative play. Kids are hollered at to hurry up at lunch, where they are given 20 minutes total for lunch (which really amounts to 10 minutes with their friends). I witnessed this horrific ritual at our public school. The kids are not honored, not on a soul level. Everything is about obedience and compliance. The kids are not thriving, that much is crystal clear.

I had coffee with a new friend today and he talked about how great some of the public schools were when we were kids. And they were. There was a respect for country and a true desire to equip young people with math and reading and civics and even some critical thinking skills. All that has been pushed aside for Marxist ideology, Paulo Freire , and their woke, social justice nonsense. Every kid needs to be force-fed transgenderism. You know, in case they are confused. Kids are being dumbed down. I can’t say it with any more clarity than that.

This conflict has parents on one side and the Marxists/Communists on the other. Ask yourself this: Which side is fighting for kids and their innocence? Which side is fighting for more state-controlled indoctrination with its mandatory obedience and compliance.? Why do Communist and Marxist educators want to produce dumbed down kids who only spout THEIR ideas and agenda? Is there an agenda to produce a dumbed down populace? Hmm.

To quote the author and thought-leader Jimmy Song:

“Universities are useful idiot factories.”

Aho. Not to mention our public schools. I remember reading that author and three-time New York teacher of the year John Taylor Gatto and said that homeschool kids will end up way smarter and better off than your average public school kid. I wasn“t 100 percent sure what he meant 20 years ago. Boy, I sure know now and so do you. People are leaving public schools in droves. It’s a dying institution as more and more parents are realizing that keeping them away from Marxists who don’t like humanity is actually a way better option than subjecting their little ones to anymore of this nonsense.

Let’s renew a sense of innocence, both in ourselves and in the imaginative play of our kids. It is my belief that humans of all ages can carry a child-like curiosity and joy for life without sacrificing street smarts. The Communists/Globalists are counting on us abandoning this super power. We will not. It only takes a small band of parents and kids to say that we will live with our innocence and divinity intact, despite the attacks for us to win. And win we shall.

Today’s interview is Part 2 with the excellent Simon Esler. Enjoy our conversation!

E250 Final Thoughts

Well, we have a big election coming up, don’t we. It feels as if almost anything can happen, doesn’t it? People are waking up….lots of people. Is it enough to move us positively into our next golden chapter? Do we need to go around and around the Marxist toilet bowl and few more years. God, I hope not. Personally, I can’t handle seeing America Republic so disrespected and dishonored by the leaders of the American CORPORATION.

There are a LOT of chess pieces moving on the board. Devolution is lurking. Is the American Corporation about to lose its life support? Let’s keep alert and keep our collective cool while all of this plays out. I’m in the narrative trenches with you Basecampers. We’ll have another fire next week, we’ll see you there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E249: The Inverted Hero’s Journey

E249: The Inverted Hero’s Journey with Special Guest

Simon Esler

 

E249 Introduction

Well I did something that I rarely do on Basecamp. Turn an interview with an excellent guest into a two-parter. I have tried (in vain) to keep my episodes to 45 minutes or so. In the early seasons, 30 minutes was the norm. Now, as you know, it is often 45-60 minutes.

However, I don’t want  to go over an hour. If I am honest, I would love to get back to 30 minute episodes but I am following God’s plan for my guests and how long the episodes will be.

In Part one with my guest, we get into the power of rituals and rites of passage (something near and dear to me); the power of homeschooling and unschooling (something more and more parents are looking into these days); and how humanity’s enemy is using inversion tactics including an inverted Hero‘s Journey to capture the minds and hearts of our young people.

I always love sitting around the fire with a bright mind and today’s guest is certainly one of them. Enjoy the episode

Simon Esler Bio

My guest today is Simon Esler. Simon is a committed defender of families & the lost art of free thought. Simon has been an actor, an ordained minister and mindfulness entrepreneur which led him to becoming a professional content creator & independent filmmaker. His website, www.simonesler.com, hosts an array of films, series and resources focused on leveraging the pressures of modern war to foster personal growth and collective resilience.

E249 Final Thoughts

I hope you all enjoyed Part 1 with Simon Esler. In part two next week, we get into 5th Generation Warfare, the anti-children/anti-innocence culture that we find ourselves in and is this by design. We also cover the taboo topic of pedophilia and what sort of future is this all leading too? Thank you Basecampers and we‘ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E247: We Welcome Kennedy Liberals

E247: We Welcome Kennedy Liberals

with Special Guest Pamela Garfield Jaeger

 

E247 Introduction

When I had Dr. Mark McDonald on recently, he touched on something that really resonated with me. That traditional liberals (Kennedy liberals) and conservatives actually have a ton in common. That it is really the radical left that is causing the rift with their Marxist ideas of hate America, hate individual freedom, transgenderism and other weird notions disconnected from reality. The leftists, not to be confused with Kennedy liberals, are distorting the real dynamic by using the bullhorn of mainstream media and social media to drown out and attempt to suffocate any unity between conservatives and Kennedy liberals.

Sure, there are differences between these two sides but it is not a gulf. It is a stream that we can cross together, I believe.

These bridge-building episodes have been some of my favorites over the past two or three seasons and maybe my most important ones. I like to think that, even though I am a FORMER Kennedy liberal and I now embrace more libertarian and conservative values, my listeners can still hear my stand for humanity. And if Kennedy liberals and conservatives have much common ground, then this is the group that I want to speak to. Because if these two meet across the small stream we need to cross, then our best days in America are still ahead of us, despite the noise coming from the far left bunkers. Let’s keep finding common ground Basecampers, shall we?

I just love talking with my guest today as you can probably tell. Enjoy the interview.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E245: On Being a Man

E245: On Being a Man with Special Guest

Dr. Mark McDonald

 

E245 Introduction

As many of you know (and by the title of this show), this podcast started out as a show and a resource for men as they navigate their lives and their Hero’s Journey. As many of you know, one of my big transformations in life was from a nice guy, people-pleasing liberal into a rough-and-tumble, masculine Warrior Dog. I am only half-kidding. Today, I am man who is comfortable in his masculinity and in his own skin. This was done through my own initiation that I have talked about plenty, especially in those first episodes.

But over the years, something happened with the show. God was asking me to expand my repertoire of topics to include, well, all of the topics you have come to listen to over the years. Everything from the war with the Deep State to the truth about Covid and vaccines to ET’s to Bitcoin and everything in between. I have done my best to always try to show a through line and a Hero’s Journey or Awakening that was and is unfolding. God was picking the subjects and the guests, I was riding shotgun with microphone and ears and heart as open as I could manage.

With that being said, today’s is a bit of a throwback and I am grateful to do this one. I don’t talk about men and the state of masculinity as much as I did 10-15-20 years ago. I have taken my place in the narrative war as a voice of truth and a stand for courage, freedom, and strength in my tribe, humanity.

Today‘s episode is another with Dr. Mark McDonald and we break out Jack Donovan’s The Way of Men to talk about being a man today and what is at stake (for men, women, and children). What is the difference between being a good man/nice guy and being good at being a man? We’ll explore this in depth.

The world will always need strong, courageous men. And thankfully, we still have them. Men like my guest today. I have done many episodes to build bridges for the left……today may not one of them. Enjoy the interview!
