Basecamp for Men E221: The Wisdom of Optimism

E221: The Wisdom of Optimism with Special Guest

Noel Rudhe

 

E221 Introduction

What a year 2024 is shaping up to be! We seem to be in some sort of epic transition who’s outcome is uncertain and it feels like we are getting close to a tipping point, doesn’t it? We seem to be in a sort of high risk/high reward proposition right now that will impact us for decades to come. Are we up for it? I hope so.

To each listener, I will challenge you with this: make this the year that we each wake up to the best of our ability. For those that already know what is going on, how do we include those just arriving at truths that we knew months or years ago? How do we welcome newcomers into the pro-humanity movement without making them feel inferior? For those on the left who are sensing that shit just doesn’t make sense, can you come over to Telegram and find some new inputs that seem to fill in parts of the map that you have been missing? Or podcasts that fill in some of the blanks. No judgment here as to where you are at on your Hero’s Journey.

For all of the kind-hearted humans out there, and we make up the vast majority of humans here (no matter what they say about us). Can we see the tension and division that the Globalists are trying to create? Talking endlessly about this group and that group, hoping to distract and separate us. A classic Marxist ploy that they are betting you don’t figure out until its too late and America is lost.

My guest today is a friend and fellow humanist and optimist. I will tell you, when shit really hits the fan, it’s the intelligent, free thinking optimists that have a huge advantage. Why? Because seeing a bright future and humanity thriving in our next chapters creates possibilities that don‘t exist in the doom and gloom view of our future. Sure, WE THE PEOPLE have enemies and they don’t seem to value us very much. So what. We have too much going for us to throw away the transformative tools that will naturally help to bring us through.

My guest today is a wise friend who I have been wanting to have on for quite some time. Let‘s go sit around the fire with her. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E220: Growing Our Courage

E220: Growing Our Courage with Special Guest

Cliff Buenavista

 

E220 Introduction

Today was a fun interview for me. Why? Because it is with an very old friend of mine. Someone who I used to sit at the pub with and talk philosophy, existentialism, God and Spirit, along with more mundane topics like who was better the Seahawks or the 49ers.

You know how fond I am of the Hero’s Journey (both individually and collectively). Not all my old drinking buddies have taken a particularly courageous path. No judgment. Just like we mention in this interview, many will be called, most will stay back in the Shire, to use a Lord of the Rings reference. Without a clear picture of the battle or even what is at stake. But the more heroic will answer the call and do whatever they can to assist humanity. These are the times we live in.

One of the questions to ask is this: Who do we need to be as men in these times? What is our most courageous path? What do I need to do in my next chapter? What does humanity and God need from me next?

My guest today is an old friend who has answered the call. What a blessing it is to know these Warriors and I am fortunate to talk to more and more of them on this show. I like to give the vibe in these discussions as two friends sitting around the fire talking about what is REALLY going on. And it is easy when you have known each other as long as I have know my guest today. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E219: The Signal Amongst the Noise

E219: The Signal Amongst the Noise with Special Guest

Reinette Senum

 

E219 Introduction

I absolutely LOVE speaking with fellow warriors in the truth movement. We have a fast track way of referring to things as we have all developed chops through years, hell decades of citizen journalism and research. We’ve also been the heart of the resistance. Let‘s be honest. Most of the people I know in this community were MILES AHEAD of what the MSM and their followers were talking about and realizing.

In short, truthers have been on signal for a long time while most struggled with the noise that was constantly bombarding them. Including all the noise about US!

Today’s interview is a good one and I want to get right to it. However, first a few memes in the spirit of today’s episode and a word from our sponsor.

Memes! We love em. This one is from We The Media and it is response to Justin Trudeau going on MSM and complaining that nobody believes them anymore. It goes:

“Conspiracy theorists are officially living rent free in every single one of these people’s heads. A trillion dollar propaganda machine is losing to a bunch of anonymous independent researchers and there‘s nothing they can do about it. They can no longer control our mind, how we think, how we see through their BS instantaneously, so they are in a state of despair. That‘s what I call winning.”

Yes, it is a glorious thing to behold.

This one from Wyatt who says:

“You watched “The Hunger Games” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “Star Wars” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “The Matrix” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “Divergent” and sided with the resistance.

You watched “V for Vendetta” and sided with the resistance.

When it‘s fiction, you understand. Yet you refuse to see it when it‘s the reality you’re living in. Wild.”

 

In which Jordan Sather commented: “Funny how everyone sides with the Rebel Scum in the movies. But when it comes to real life, they lick the boots of the Empire and call the Rebels “far-right conspiracy theorist misinformation peddling tin-foil domestic extremists.”

Oh how true you guys are. You should have seen it here in Seattle and Portland. Oye vay. From one Rebel Scum to another, thank you Wyatt and Jordan Sather!

Basecamp for Men E218: Gen X Saves the World!

E218: Gen X Saves the World! with Special Guest E Mandisa

 

E218 Introduction

Lately I have been seeing all sorts of funny and truthful posts on social media about my generation, Gen X, and what badasses we are. And it‘s true. We were all raised to be tough, self-reliant, patriotic, with a high level of street smarts. We had to be. We were out in the world on our bikes as little kids, roaming all over our neighborhoods and the surrounding areas with our friends and our dogs. No kidding. That is the way we rolled and it made an indelible mark on our lives and our character.

We didn’t wear helmets on bikes (or motorcycles for that matter). We didn‘t wear seat belts in cars (hell we just jumped into the back of a pickup with four other kids and two dogs and held on for dear life). We weren‘t allergic to any foods. You would have been called a sissy if you had any. We had no trigger warnings. We had just boys and girls. That was enough. It was, by every definition, an All-American upbringing. Full of fun, adventure, optimism, freedom, and love. We didn’t need anything else.

Not that there weren’t hard knocks. Oh, Gen Xers were expected to be resourceful and to handle yourself in all sorts of situations.

And we knew the world was not always safe or going to roll out the red carpet for us. So we learned work ethic. Hell, we learned it from our parents and the adults we grew up with. Everyone worked hard and had their hustle on. I saw my own parents work their tails off to put food on the table and provide the things that my brother and I needed. Looking back, it’s inspiring and helped mold my generation.

This episode is dedicated to my incredible fellow Gen Xers and those that raised us. A generation built on personal freedom, patriotism, hard work, and not putting up with all the bullshit they throw at you. This episode is for you.

E Mandisa Bio 

My guest today is fellow Gen Xer E Mandisa (Simply known as E.). She is an educator, Hip Hop activist, actor, writer, producer and all-around Creative. She also has a new radio talk show that she is hosting, which we’ll talk about today. Here is my interview with E Mandisa.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E217: The 911 Red Pill

E217: The 911 Red Pill w Special Guest Richard Gage

 

E217 Introduction

For many in the truther movement, 911 was the first of many red-pills. For some of us, the events of 911 looked “off” as in we could detect a grand deception of some sorts. But much of is was gut instinct and intuition. That is until the archetects and structural engineers started to analyze the date. Then their findings confirmed what the citizen journalist truthers had known all along: the official 911 narrative was a sham. A story that the Deep State desperately needed you to believe as they invaded Iraq for non-existent “weapons of mass destruction” remember that? And then went on to pass unconstitutional legislature such as the Patriot Act to spy on, surveil, search without cause, and strip Americans of their God-given rights in the name of “safety”. My question after all these years is who is keeping WE THE PEOPLE safe from these psychopaths? Hmm.

I rarely talk about 911. Not because it‘s controversial, I hardly think of it that way anymore. Because for me it is so obvious! But also we have all sorts of other deception going on right now that 911 seems a long time ago, doesn’t it? However, it still carries an AK-47 capacity to red pill whoever dares to look at the evidence with curiosity, discernment, common sense, and an ability to let go of any strong conditioning about our so-called leaders.

If you go into your investigations with anything close to a Zen Mind, Beginners Mind, I guarantee you will arrive at the exact same conclusions that we came to. Its about as obvious as 3rd grade math.

I have always wanted to do a proper episode on 911 as it was one of my important but many red-pill moments and events that make me who I am today. I hope you enjoy the episode!
