Ep. 264: Exorcisms and the Demonic Realm, with Father Vincent Lampert

First of all, Julie Mastrine is back with us as my co-host, and we are interviewing Father Vincent Lampert. Vincent Lampert is an American Catholic priest and the designated exorcist of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis. As you may imagine, he's seen a lot of things that most of us haven't. We dive into his experiences as an exorcist and what that looks like, what it means, what it doesn't mean, and so on. Are demons real? Is possession real? Does it look like it does in the movies? Why does possession happen? Can we open ourselves up to it, even by accident? Is this just a way to deal with a person that needs psychological help? You will hear all of these issues and more discussed on this episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

Ep. 262: The Peaks and Valleys of Online Orthodoxy, Pt. 2, with Fr. Turbo, George Michalopulos, and Alex Braszko

This week, we bring you Part 2 of a two-part series on the issues surrounding discussions of Orthodox Christianity on various internet platforms. This format is slightly different for a few reasons. First off, it's moderated by Alex Braszko rather than myself, and I'm more of a panel "guest". And then, as you've likely noticed in the title, it's broken into two episodes. Fr. Turbo guides us through explanations of the hierarchy of the Church, what is appropriate for certain people to speak on publicly, dealing with criticism, and more. George offers up his opinions and experiences running the Monomakhos blog for many years. Why can certain online Orthodox forums be as toxic as they are? Are we risking appearing prideful and lacking humility to Ortho-curious folks? Are people coming to the Church because of finding it through online platforms? Why are so many Orthodox Christians seeking guidance from voices online? We get into all this and more.

Ep. 260: The Pandemic and the War on Humanity, with Dr. Naomi Wolf

Dr. Naomi Wolf joins me this week to go over the serious information that her team has uncovered in the Pfizer documents. At dailyclout.io, she has assembled a team of over 3500 medical experts to comb over the thousands and thousands of pages of Pfizer documents that the FDA tried to have sealed for 75 years. Luckily, a judge did not allow that. Also, Naomi and her team have discovered many of the reasons that Pfizer didn't want that information to be public. There was not incompetence on their part, but rather outright maliciousness. They knew the harmful effects and the wide variety of them and hid them from the public. We go through many of them in this short episode, and the end result is population decline, which appears to be a feature, not a bug. We get into all of this, along with issues of repentance, punishment, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, good vs. evil, and more.

Ep. 259: The True Understanding of the Crucifixion, with Dr. Eugenia Constantinou

My guest this week has more credentials than I can list here, so I will simply call her author of great books and Presbytera, Dr. Eugenia Constantinou. We discuss many of the themes in her latest book, "The Crucifixion of the King of Glory". Growing up in the West, many of us fail to understand the full meaning of Christ's death on the Cross, what he did between his death and resurrection, how we obtain salvation, what sin is, what hades and hell are, and so on. Dr. Jeannie (as I call her) and I take a deep dive into these topics. We start with a chat on the Bible being seen as a real historical record, and we go from there.

Ep. 258: The Government, the Church, and the Culture, with Monica Perez

My guest this week is friend of the show and world-renowned podcaster, Monica Perez. Monica and I had such a great discussion that I didn't even get to one of my questions that I had written for this interview! We get into a chat about questioning forms of governance, church and state, and questioning other "taboos" that we take for granted. This is a very free-flowing and fun talk!

Ep. 257: The Libertarian to Orthodox Christianity Pipeline, with Matt Erickson and Julie Mastrine

My guests this week, like myself, both considered themselves libertarians at one point. They now, like myself, are Orthodox Christians. They are Matt Erickson, of the Kingpilled podcast, and Julie Mastrine. My guests and myself are not the only ones to journey on this path. Why is this a thing? What is it about Orthodoxy that attracts some libertarians. Is libertarianism compatible with Orthodox Christianity? Are we still using political labels at this point? Is libertarian thought rooted in a post-enlightenment worldview? Matt and Amy take us on their journey and discuss what they've learned along the way and how they've changed.

Ep. 256: The Missing Spirit of Masculinity, with Father George Hill

This week, I have a Lieutenant Col. in the Army as well as an Army Chaplain AND an Orthodox Priest, and they are all the same person! That would be Father George Hill. He and I speak on the fact that masculinity has, for the most part, disappeared from most areas of Western Culture. Why is this? What are the ramifications? How can it be fixed? I also ask him if it's appropriate for an Orthodox Christian to join the military these days. We touch on many great topics, and I think you'll enjoy Father George's candor.

Ep. 255: No, We Aren't Born That Way, with Joseph Sciambra and Julie Mastrine

This week, not only do I have a wonderful guest, but a great co-host as well! Julie Mastrine is back on the show, this time as my co-host. Our guest is Joseph Sciambra. His story will keep you glued to this one the entire time. Joseph was raised as a Catholic kid in the Bay Area. He was molested numerous times by multiple Catholic priests, starting at age 9. This continued through his teenage years and finally, he left the Catholic church in his late teens. In his twenties, he was living as a gay man in San Francisco, where he lived fast and hard for a decade. At age 29, he was so burned out, he went back home and joined the Catholic church again only to find more priests who were preying on vulnerable men. He details many of these horrific moments and the fear that it instilled in him. Finally, he discovered Father Seraphim Rose and immediately felt drawn to his story. Through Fr. Seraphim, he found the Orthodox Church and knew he had found a home where he could actually feel safe and loved and could trust the priests. This is a wild episode, and I'm thankful for Joseph's openness. The LGBT movement does not like many of the truths that Joseph speaks about getting out. We get into his therapy and how he realized that, no, he wasn't "born gay", but rather, it had to do with deep psychological issues that he is still confronting to this very day.

Ep. 253: Myths of the Manosphere, with Julie and Amy Mastrine

This week, Julie Mastrine is back on the show, and she has her twin sister, Amy, with her. They are here to discuss the toxic pendulum swing that some men have taken away from the evils of the progressive feminist left and right into the evils of toxic fake masculinity. In Orthodoxy, we are taught to not fall into the trap of the Devil's Dialectic where we have to choose one evil or the other. They're both demonic, and that's exactly how it's planned. We are to follow the Royal Path rather than falling to the left or right (spiritually), yet many of us fall. This is a discussion all about that and the toxic sides of the man v. woman dialectic that "society" has offered us to choose from. We offered a more nuanced and loving take on the way men and women can view one another.

Ep. 251: We Fight Because of Our Similarities, with David Gornoski

My guest this week, in what is one of my favorite interviews to date, is David Gornoski. David is the host of the radio show, A Neighbor's Choice, a show that looks at politics, science, and culture through the lens of Jesus' personhood revolution. On his radio show and also on his online-exclusive podcast and film series, THINGS HIDDEN, David has interviewed personalities like Ron Paul, Jordan Peterson, and Slavoj Žižek. David has also written multiple essays and columns promoting Jesus' nonviolent ethos and personhood revolution for publications such as the DailyCaller, Townhall, American Conservative, and FEE. In this episode, David breaks down Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory, and as this episode plays out, he intertwines it through various subjects in a way that ties everything we discuss together. Christianity, politics, anthropology, societal relations... it's all here, and it's a wonderful discussion.

Ep. 250: Our Coming Digital Prison, with Aman Jabbi

My guest this week brings a frightening yet important topic to the table. Aman Jabbi is the foremost expert when it comes to explaining the digital existence that we will likely experience very soon. Facial recognition, smart cities, artificial intelligence, geo-fencing, central bank digital currency, and total control over our existence. While this all sounds fairly ominous, we also get into a discussion about how it can be avoided and what that even looks like.

My guest this week is returning for a second appearance. He is the wonderful content creator over at the Church of the Eternal Logos, David Patrick Harry. David is a Ph.D. student at the Graduate Theological Union, where his research focuses on New Religious Movements and trends within America. In addition to that, he does research into the occult, the New Age, and psychedelic spirituality, and David is also a Christian apologist from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In this episode, we discuss mushrooms, DMT, Ayahuasca, and other psychedelics and what spiritual effects they can have on one who partakes. Is there an actual spiritual element to psychedelics? Is it necessarily positive or negative? We discuss how the spiritual experience happens and what exactly that means. We also discuss the paradigm of the psychedelic relative to the paradigm of the Orthodox Christian.

They dive deep into what is truly happening between Russia and Ukraine and then beyond that regarding who represents which side, and really, what those "sides" represent.

Ep. 245: Against a New World Orthodoxy, with Father John Whiteford

This week, Archpriest Father John Whiteford is on the show, and we discuss the themes in his four-part series, "The Birth of a New Religion". This series examines the threats of modern society that Father John sees creeping into Orthodox Christianity. These would be: Ecumenism, the LGBTQ ideology, pro-abortion sentiments, and renovationism. We discuss each of these and how/why they are a threat to Orthodoxy. We see the US State Dept. funding the NATO/Ukrainian push to eliminate Christ's True Church in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Not only to eliminate but to murder ordained priests and burn the Churches to the ground. Why are the globalist elites in the West determined to subvert Orthodox Christianity? Who is funding the forces in the US that are attempting to co-opt the Church? We get into all of this and more in this episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

Ep. 244: The War Within Yourself, with Father Turbo Qualls

One of my favorite guests is back with us this week. That would be Father Turbo Qualls. Fr. Turbo is an Orthodox Priest at St. Mary of Egypt Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City and part of the excellent "Royal Path" podcast. On this episode, Fr. Turbo and I discuss the spiritual warfare not only in the outside world, but within each of us. Sometimes, getting closer to the Light of Christ is a scary thing as the proverbial fat burns away. The demons play on our lust for comfort especially, and it can feel good in the moment to give into their call. We also dive into Fr. Turbo's punk rock days, and he details how being an "outsider" of sorts prepared him for Orthodoxy. Fr. Turbo drops a lot of wonderful wisdom in this episode, and I have no doubt that you will learn some things. Fr.

Ep. 243: A True Rebellion Against This World, with Father John Valadez

My guest on this week's episode is Father John Valadez. Fr. John is the current head man in charge at the Death to the World magazine and website. Death to the World seeks to inspire truth-seeking and soul-searching amidst the modern age of nihilism and despair, promoting the ancient principles of the last true rebellion: to be dead to this world and alive to the other world. We discuss the nature of punk rock and metal subcultures and the rebellion against the fake American Dream and modern society that they promise. But what solutions do punk and alternative counter-cultural movements offer? Many times, people within those groups find themselves in a dark, empty world of nihilism. Orthodoxy offers people a true counter-cultural rebellion against a fake, empty world, yet also offers a transcendent, spiritual, and mystical solution.

Ep. 242: Orthodoxy vs. the New World Order, with Fr. John Peck

My guest to start us off in 2023 is Father John Peck, who puts on the tremendous weekly class called "Ecclesioclasm: The Church, The Virus, and the Vaccine". In this weekly class, he breaks down the constant barrage of propaganda that is thrown at us on an almost minute-by-minute basis. The globalists and the evil powers behind the push for one world government and religion are ultimately out to end the Orthodox Church, as they've said multiple times and as you're seeing play out in Ukraine right now. Why is this? What can be done about it? Is there optimism for 2023 and beyond? We discuss all of this and more in the episode of the Counterflow Podcast. Get more from Fr.

Ep. 241: The Men Have Disappeared and the Women Are Undateable, with Dr. Mark McDonald

This week, Dr. Mark McDonald is back on the show, and as per usual, we aren't shying away from spicy topics. Mark has a wonderful Substack where I found two pieces recently that we dive into. "The Disappearance of the American Man" and "Why American Women Are Undatable". Broadly, men have become lazy, apathetic, unhealthy, and unwilling to go out and date. Why is this? Why are testosterone levels so low? Does it have anything to do with the feminization of the United States? How did what happened in 2020 impact this? Does the fact that many women are mentally unstable, narcissistic, angry, and undateable? When did this phenomenon happen? How is it all related? We get into ALL of this. Towards the end, we discuss the depression that many people feel in December and how that can be conquered.

Ep. 239: Rebelling Against the Covid Regime, with Father John Downie

My guest this week is Orthodox Priest and writer, Father John Downie. Fr. John wrote some very compelling pieces for the Brownstone Institute, where he discusses many of the problems with the Covid regime from an Orhtodox perspective. One hospital tried to deny Fr. John from taking Holy Communion to a dying patient -- he wouldn't allow them to block him. That is because he answers to something bigger than the fear of unknowing hospital staffers. Many people caved during 2020 and closed not only businesses but even some churches. Many were pro-jab despite knowing nothing about it. Who stood up to this evil? We discuss this and more. Find Fr.

Ep. 237: Liberty without Morality is Hedonism, with Jonah Martin

My guest this week is Jonah Martin, a former ship captain in the Pacific NW, former libertarian, former secularist, and NOW Orthodox Christian, farmer in Iowa, and manager of St. Nicholas Press. His goal was to escape the nihilism of modernity. We all know what states like Washington were like over 2020 and 2021. Jonah says moving to a big farm in Iowa was like realizing none of that insanity even existed. How did his views on culture change? Did becoming Orthodox give him a different worldview than the one he had as a libertarian? What about his views on rights, liberty, and individualism--did those change? Can we have liberty without a moral society? These are the issues we dive into in this episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

Ep. 236: Does the Covid Cult Deserve Amnesty? with Vin Armani

My guest this week is Vin Armani, also known as Cyprian. We are discussing the theme in an article written by Emily Oster in the Atlantic. In the article, she pleads for amnesty on behalf of the Covid regime, for all of the evil they pushed onto society. Masks, jabs, lockdowns, firings, ostracization, a caste system, apartheid, death, and more were all from these people in the name of "safety". Should forgiveness even be considered for these people? If so, under what parameters should we consider granting them forgiveness? Do they deserve prison time? Death? Love? We discuss all of this, and it really is a nice lesson on repentance. We also get into what exactly is going on with this FTX scandal. Here's the article we discuss: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/covid-response-forgiveness/671879/ For Cyprian's podcast, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGjbPbb5UPQ Sponsors: FoxNSons Coffee ( https://www.foxnsons.com ): Enter code BUCK25 at checkout for 25% off your order!

Ep. 235: Western Materialism, Modernity, and the Age of Information, with Adam Patrick

My guest on this episode of Counterflow is Adam Patrick. Adam was the host of the now defunct "Y'er Talkin Over Me" podcast and is now launching "The Age of Information" podcast. His goal is to move the discussions past just "government bad, freedom good" and start to look at the larger battle taking place. In this chat, we discuss the way we view religion and spirituality in the Western world vs. how it was viewed in the East for thousands of years. The Western mindset often informs our thinking, but is it the way the Church Fathers looked at things? What is the difference? Was the Covid Cult of the last few years rooted in spirituality? We discuss all of this and more in this episode.

Ep. 234: Is the Jab a Bioweapon? With William Ramsey

My guest this week is author, reporter, lawyer, and filmmaker William Ramsey. He runs the great podcast "William Ramsey Investigates", where he's been doing a multipart series called "Bioweapon Blues", where he is reporting on the possibility of the COVID vaccine being a bioweapon. What are his points to back this up? Why does he think this? We do a good dive into this topic, and I think you'll find his analysis intriguing if not downright scary.

Ep. 233: Sinister Psychosis and the Remembrance of God, with Fr Zecharia Lynch

My guest this week is Father Zecharia Lynch, an Orthodox Christian Priest and a very good writer at the Inkless Pen blog, as well as outlets like Death to the World and Patristic Faith. We are discussing many of the themes in his article, "Sinister Psychosis and the Remembrance of God". 2020 and 2021 gave us a lot of evil, and our love of comfort and safety was used to impart much of the evil. Why is this happening to us now? Where are we in spiritual warfare, and how do the tactics of the Evil One work in our modern times? Fr Zecharia studies the writings of the Elites and views them through the lens of the Saints. His perspective on these matters is beautiful and refreshing, and I know you'll love this episode. Is he pessimistic about the future or not? Tune in for that and more!

Ep. 232: Russia, WW3, NATO, and Israel, with Jim Jatras

My guest this week is Jim Jatras. Jim is a former US Diplomat, lawyer, and senior foreign policy advisor to the US Senate GOP leadership. We discuss the reality of what is going on between Russia and Ukraine and what impact it could have on the rest of the world. Might we be on the brink of nuclear war? And for many decades, the impact on US policy that Israel has is very out of proportion. Why is this? There are a segment of people in the US who believe Israel is a Holy Land. There are some Christians who believe the current State of Israel is the same as the Israel of the Bible. Jim and I discuss this, and he gives us the correct Orthodox Christian view on Israel.

Ep. 231: The Global Food War and the Beef Initiative, with Texas Slim

My guest this week is Texas Slim of the Beef Initiative. The Beef Initiative is a trade group focused on decentralizing and making our food supply more localized, redundant, and secure, as well as improving the quality of our food through pure animal protein and sound money, which is a critical input to achieving food security. We discuss the global food war, the transnational corporations that wish to disallow your access to animal protein, what their vision of YOUR food intake is, decentralized food sourcing, decentralized money, and how to win your future when it comes to food, protein, health and community.

My guest this week is the main man at Gold, Goats, and Guns: none other than Tom Luongo. Tom has a very well thought out and unique analysis of the markets as they relate to current geopolitics. We often talk about one-world government and global elites. However, we can't lose sight of the fact that, even within the global elite groups, there are many competing factions. Tom sees the folks that control the Federal Reserve as being against those with the World Economic Forum.

Ep. 228: Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation, with Rachel Wilson

My guest this week is Rachel Wilson, author of the book, "Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation". Rachel and I discuss the themes in her book which tie the current feminist movement as well as the first wave of feminism to its occultist roots. We are so enveloped by feminist ideology that we don't even recognize it at this point. Young girls are raised in it, HR rooms are drenched in it, and even most middle-age women promote it in some way. By design, it's been a disaster for women and where things stand now. Why is this? Are all of the early feminist figures into the occult and Pagansim? Is there an underlying evil nature to all of it? What has it done to the family? We get into all of this and more on this episode of Counterflow.

Ep. 227: The Ethics of Beauty, with Dr. Timothy Patitsas

My guest this week is the author of the wonderful book, "The Ethics of Beauty". The original task of Ethics was to guide us to the most just and meaningful life possible. Today, ethicists define their discipline more narrowly, as "the rational investigation of morality." This reduces Ethics to the examination of the Good by the True, tacitly suppressing the deep human need for the Beautiful. In this book, Dr. Pattisas covers many topics related to this, including trauma, war, gender ideology, and more.

My guest today is the Maximum Leader over at the Worthy House, Charles Haywood. Charles and I discuss the current regime, the future, young people, and how to navigate it all. Charles believes the current social and political structures will not be around much longer. What are we to do to prepare for a post-liberal America? What about young people? Will universities still be a thing in 10 years? Could getting a degree hurt your chances for employment? What about young people interested in joining the military?

Ep. 225: The Empire Has No Clothes, with Charlie Robinson

Charlie Robinson is back with us this week. We talk about a few different yet possibly related topics. I have been emphasizing for a while now that we are in an "emperor has no clothes" moment in America. More and more people are starting to see the illegitimacy of the American Empire and Regime. Their propaganda is becoming more absurd, their elites are becoming less impressive, and the writing is on the wall -- this simply won't continue much longer, and it will completely fall apart. We discuss this and have a few laughs throughout. We get into how the medical regime lied and misrepresented things in order to force more people into poor decisions. Then we get into a topic that is a bit heavier: the Deagel 2025 Forecast shows a MASSIVE decrease in the populations of many first-world countries. Why is that? Charlie compares it with rates of recent medical interventions, and the correlation is rather frightening. We aren't claiming it as certain, and in fact, we hope we are wrong. Either way, I feel that it's information you should know, and that's why he's on this episode of Counterflow.

Ep. 223: Corporations, Government, and the Total State, with Auron MacIntyre

This week, I've got Auron MacIntyre on the show to bring his refreshing and nuanced perspective on government, society, and power structures. Auron writes often about what he calls the "Total State". For decades, conservatives and right-wing folks have defended corporations and focused more on attacking the State. After 2020, many are starting to realize that there may be less of a hard line between those entities. When corporations and government are as intertwined as they are, we are dealing with the Total State. How do we deal with this, and what dangers do using the wrong tactics present for us? Is there any optimism to be found with examples like Ron DeSantis in Florida, as far as fighting the Total State? We discuss all of this and more on this week's episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

Ep. 222: Powers and Principalities, with Father Turbo Qualls

This week is Part 2 of my discussion with Father Turbo Qualls. After we finished episode 217 with Fr Turbo, he and I decided we needed to talk again ASAP, and many of you let me know that you were eager to hear him on the show again. So this week, he and I got into the topic of "powers and principalities". Many of us see evil going on in this world and understand that there are forces behind the figureheads in government and corporations, but we sometimes have a hard time understanding just what these forces are. Fr Turbo does a wonderful job of breaking down the power structures, spiritual forces, tangible forces, where the true power lies, and what it all means. What are demons? Can we see them? Are they floating around, looking for someone to overtake? Are they even real, or is it just bad wiring in the brains of some folks? This is a great deep dive into all of that.

Ep. 221: Mass Shootings and the World Liberalism Made, with Katherine Dee

This week, my guest Katherine Dee and I discuss a couple of the topics that she has tackled in her writings over at her Default Friend blog. We discuss what she sees as a sexual counterrevolution coming our way. Katherine writes, "If there's one drum I've been beating for a minute now, it's that I believe the pendulum with sexuality is going to swing, big time. And seriously, if you guys remember me for anything, have it be this." We dive right into that, and I think it helps bridge us to our discussion on the dark nihilism that pervades our culture and leads to these terrible mass shootings we keep seeing. The Left likes to focus on guns because they understand it won't actually do any good. The Right, in reaction to that, wants the band-aid of arming teachers and/or providing more security. When nobody wants to discuss the rot within our culture, nothing will ever be done. Where does this empty nihilism come from? Katherine believes that it is the modern American enlightenment tradition of liberalism.

We get into world history, Church history, central banks, the events that changed the course of history, and where we may be headed next. In this interview, as in the book, you will learn that gnosticism has reared its head many times and is partially at the root of much of the evil that folks have encountered through the centuries.

Ep. 219: The Evil Nature of Woke Culture, with Noelle Mering

My guest this week is Noelle Mering, author of the book, Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressivism. The Woke phenomenon has been covered on this show before, but not in the more well-rounded manner in which we cover it in this episode. Noelle and I discuss the tenets of Wokeism, but we also get into the darker, more evil aspects of it as we talk about the spiritual warfare at play here. On the surface, the folks we would call "woke" may seem like people we can laugh at and call crazy. In reality, there's more to it than that, and we get several layers deep in this discussion.

My guest this week is the brilliant and entertaining David Patrick Harry from Church of the Eternal Logos. David and I discuss the makeup and theology of the NPC, that is, the non-playable character. NPCs are all around us, and you likely have friends, coworkers, and family members who are NPCs. It's one thing to just poke fun at them and laugh, but we more so get into what forces are behind the perpetuation of the NPC, the danger they pose, and why this is happening. When one is an empty vessel, he or she can be filled with anything that the corporate and state powers-that-be want to fill that vessel with. This is a great one.

Ep. 217: It Takes Humility to Understand What's Happening, with Father Turbo Qualls

In one of my favorite conversations ever, I had Father Turbo Qualls on the show. Fr. Turbo is the rector at St. Mary of Egypt, Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City, Missouri, where he lives with his wife Juliana and their 8 children. As a (now retired) tattoo artist and former member of a punk rock band, Fr. Turbo grew up in Orange County, California, in the counterculture scene. That gave him a perspective that he carried through his libertarian political views and even into his Orthodox Christian view of the world. We discuss many topics here, and Fr. Turbo really gets into the humility it takes to not only understand what is happening to us and around us, but the humility it takes to find the real Truth, and what that means. This society is wrapped up in a shallow, materialistic nihilism that makes it easy to fall into the snares of evil. To counter that -- and it is mainstream -- it takes humility and a genuine search for Truth and love. For more of Fr.

Ep. 216: The Implications of the ESG Score, with Tommy Salmons

My guest this week is the host of the Year Zero podcast and writer/content producer at the Libertarian Institute, Tommy Salmons. Tommy wrote a nice piece on ESG Scoring and what all it entails. He and I delve into this topic, and he explains it in a way that is easy to follow. The implications of the ESG system will be painful to many of us and will be felt for a long time if something isn't done to stop it soon. Let this be your one stop shop for a total understanding of the ESG system, and definitely share this one with friends and family.

Ep. 215: False Flags and Perfect Storms, with Monica Perez

I am so happy to finally get Monica Perez on the show this week. Monica is the host of the Propaganda Report podcast and Deep Dives, with Monica Perez, where she analyzes one of the top stories of the day from a perspective of truth, liberty, and justice. Monica was a radio host for 8.5 years on WSB Radio in Atlanta before she was unceremoniously dismissed. She's more than welcome on Counterflow, and this week, we cover a litany of topics. Monica is very adept at discerning what is propaganda and what is real information. We discuss that as well as false flags and the fact that they aren't always needed. Sometimes, there are incentives in place and the "perfect storm" is created for the regime to take advantage of. Monica and I also discuss how her political views have changed post-2020. I think you will really enjoy this chat.

Ep. 214: The Most Canceled Man in America, with Jason Rink

Jason Rink is back on the show this week. Jason is a documentary filmmaker whose many recent works are deemed too controversial by many in the Libertarian world. His newest documentary is on Nick Fuentes and was set to show at a libertarian film festival, but they canceled the film and the discussion panel about the film. In a painful twist of irony, he was offered to be on a panel discussing the topic of cancel culture. We also discuss the latest show trial on the events of January 6th, as Jason was actually at the Capitol that day.
