Basecamp for Men E215: Standing Up

E215: Standing Up with Special Guest Gerard White

 

E215: Introduction

They say God works in mysterious ways and there is no question that this has been true for both myself and my family as well as my guest today. I am a big believer that God has a plan for each and every one of us and that if we can get quiet and listen and surrender, we will hear our unique calling. This has always been true.

We live in a time when our adversaries (those that seek to destroy America and her principles of freedom, free speech, liberty, pursuit of happiness) have made their way into some of our most vulnerable areas- education, media, politics. It has become increasingly obvious that the Globalists are in control of all three of these. You can see it in their messaging, their actions, their legislation, and their allegiances.

Furthermore, WE THE PEOPLE have been coughing and choking on all the lies, deception, and propaganda.

I attended America Fest, as I told you before, in December. As a Libertarian, it was a breath of fresh air. A great conference where I met my guest today who has started an apparel company called Stand Up Now. And the big takeaway from America Fest? It is time to stand up now Patriots. We are at a pivotal point in our war with the Marxists/Globalists/Communists who seek to destroy our country and strip her of her natural Divinity.

So, if you love this nation, no matter your political orientation- left, right, or center. Now is the time to ask God and yourself “What is being asked of me here? How can I help come to the aid of this great nation that has so blessed me and my family for generations now? God, tell me what you need from me? How can I serve?”

I know that many of you will answer the call in whatever way you are able. 2024 will be a year we are all out of our comfort zone but it will also be remembered as a year that things shifted once again, in favor of humanity. Enjoy the interview.

E213 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, we‘re getting season six rolling now. Looking forward we have a number of interesting interviews coming up. I will be talking with patriot entrepreneur Gerard White and the courageous, truth telling nurse Jodi O’Malley. I have one coming up with men‘s leader Vicenzo Falone. I also have a 911 truther episode coming up with architect and structural engineer Richard Gage. And we are still plugging away at the SSP episode, which will be the first solo episode of the season, set to air sometime in Feb or March, depending on the flow.

2024 will be an epic year for America. I think everyone can sense it. Hopefully here at Basecamp, we can do our part to provide you with resources for this year and beyond. I continue to be drawn to people (like my guest today) who can help us navigate with our humanity intact. For our unifying sense of humanity as ONE TRIBE is the thing that lifts us beyond the division and the thing the Globalists fear the most.

Enjoy the interview.

E212: Radical Unschooling with Special Guest Dayna Martin

 

E212 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We are back up and running the start of Season Six and man, what a year 2024 is going to be. Can you sense the excitement, tension, anxiety, anticipation in the air? It is like EVERYONE knows that shit is going to hit the fan this year. It’s like watching a giant, global chess match between fairly evenly matched opposing forces.

I took my family down to Phoenix before Christmas to attend Turning Point USA‘s America Fest. It was incredibly inspiring. The lineup had a “who’s who” of great Conservative and Libertarian speakers. Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kari Lake, James O’Keefe, as well as people that I had just become aware of like NBA star Jonathan Isaac and North Korean escapee Yeonmi Park. The narrative was uplifting. The vibe was one of inspired courage and commitment at this crossroad in our nation’s destiny.

I highly recommend attending this for anyone looking to get plugged in. One of the most inspiring things was seeing all the young people (college and even high school kids) in the audience. Our future. These young adults are strong in their values and know that we live in the greatest country in the world. They aren’t buying all this Marxist woke nonsense. And they can articulate all the reasons why. It gave me a sense of hope to see a generation behind me with such strong values and faith. These young people are unshakeable.

Another thing that stuck with me about America Fest was how Charlie Kirk said that 2024 would be the year he planned on working the hardest he has ever worked to help save the country he loves. Think about that. This is one of the hardest working Conservatives I know of. Bannon said more or less the same thing.

The message was loud and clear. We have incredible people on our side but the restoration of America is up to each and every one of us. We all have a role to play. 2024 will not be a year of complacency. It is a year of summoning your courage, finding your voice, and getting out of your comfort zone. We need good people to counter the onslaught of AI-driven fear and division.

Today’s guest is someone I was so pleased to meet and get to know. She is the author of a couple of books we’ll talk about. And she exemplifies the American spirit: smart, a good critical thinker, with a healthy dose of American rebel. Remember Basecampers, if the rebellious streak that runs through our DNA, that great American anti-authoritarian rebel spirit leaves the gene pool, how on earth will we summon courage for what we will face? For the rebel spirit and courage go hand in hand.

Let’s have a 2024 worthy of our American lineage and one that where we can all stand tall (no matter our political leanings), knowing we were in the fight to save our great country.

Let’s get to our first interview of Season Six. It’s a good one. Enjoy!

E210: The Two Jordan Firestarter

 

E210 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, we are coming down the finish line towards the end of Season five. I hope you have enjoyed the episodes this year. I will be doing today’s solo episode and we will finish with a few words and a Basecamp Classic on Dec. 5th.

I am sorry to report that the Secret Space Program episode is being bumped until early Season 6. It will likely be one of the first 3 or 4 episodes of next season, which has an arrival date of sometime in Feb. I know I promised the Space episode this season but I got railroaded with Shingles that really brought a halt to my ability to do research and write. Also, this is a serious topic and it will be new to many of you. I want to find the right sorts of inputs so that it will make a positive impact for you. Right now, that material is not ready to go.

Today, we have some memes, and then some short pieces by both Jordan Sather and Jordan Peterson. I guess I could have called this one the Two Jordan Firestarter. Hmm. Enjoy the episode.

E208: Our Cities- A Naomi Wolf Reading

E208: Our Cities- A Naomi Wolf Reading

 

E208 Introduction

I have been a city dweller my whole life. A sophisticated urbanite, as they say. Living in both Seattle, then NYC for 10 years, and now back to Seattle to raise our family. I have LOVED the cities that I have been a part of. The culture, the humanity, the diversity, the human connection, the art and the food, the street scene, and yes, even the edge. The occasional violence and crime that come across your radar.

All of these have been part of my whole adult life. And there seems to be a common sentiment among many city dwellers these days. They can‘t wait to get out. Things are fraying in our great cities and it is in plain daylight for all of us to see. The violence, the mental health crisis, the crime, the homelessness, the hopelessness. Our cities seem lost don‘t they? Can we recover them?

The following is a reading of an article by the great writer Naomi Wolf. I will give you resources on where to find her at the end. Naomi is a former liberal writer, best-selling author, and thought leader and celebrity. She has famously been a walkaway from the left as the woke Marxist agenda started to alert her that something else was going on and perhaps she was being played. I know exactly how she feels.

Here I am acting as a simply voice-over, speaking Naomi‘s elegant words. I hope she doesn‘t mind that I pay tribute to her and her ideas this way. Enjoy!
