I am running this rewind today as a tribute to Lyn and Ross Ulbricht. Ever since meeting Lyn almost a decade ago and seeing how broken she was over this I’ve wanted nothing more than to see Ross fee from Federal Prison. The trial was rank with corruption, investigators were literally sentenced to prison themselves for it but the judge never allowed the jury to know this. Things like this happen all the time to people but in this case a man was sentenced to double life for the non violent crime of building a website. We now have every … Continue reading →

I have said very little about the elections this year other than covering the attempt on Trumps life in PA because frankly it needed covering. Today we look at the election though because it will be effecting all of us one way or another. I will also ask you this, are libertarians incapable of winning? Not as in “can they win” rather can they “accept winning” in any small way or are they incurably autistic as a group? Join Me Today to Discuss… What are my predictions for the election Trump wins in a big electoral college margin Republicans increase … Continue reading →

He is the Founder and CEO of Fortitude Ranch, the largest … Continue reading →

I have been on some level a systems thinker for most of my life, some components of it are just natural to me. I would honestly say on the base level it is simply how I think. When I was 17 I joined the Army and chose the path of being a Heavy Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic and learned systemic trouble shooting, which gave me a formal concept of “systems thinking”, however, I didn’t yet even know the term. In my early days of attempting to build a career I had a lot of friction with people I worked for. I … Continue reading →

We talk about this a lot in the liberty community. A parallel society a parallel economy, etc, but is it a legitimate goal or what I often refer to as “mental masterbation”. What I mean by that trope is are we simply telling ourselves a lie so that we feel better about the situation we are in. My view is the answer as is always, is, it depends. I think for many using the term, it absolutely is a pleasant lie, something comforting with no real demand on us to actually do anything. The other side though is there are … Continue reading →

We talk pig breeds, harvesting methods, butchering and even curing pork in this episode.

No matter how much they deny it, the main stream media, organizations like the WEF and the government have declared war on meat. They appear to want the peasants to live on gruel, soy and insects.

Right now if I am to be blunt and I always am, this country is screwed, it will take a least a generation to correct course, if we have that long.

Here is a fact I have observed in my life. The happiest and most successful people in life that I know have tended to be those that “broke the rules” and I have to say I am chief among them. Everything I did in my life involved breaking the rules. Some that were “real rules”, in other words there was some punishment if you got caught doing it. But most were what I call phantom rules. The original show was titled Episode-2872- The Big Lie – Just Follow the Rules and was first published on 8-16-21 and the original notes … Continue reading →

In this episode we discussed theories and quotes from ten great thinkers. As we do we will see a lot of things we think are new, are not. We will also lean that many things we spend time and energy on are simply a waste of both.

Talking to some of my fellow podcasters, content creators and influencers lately I have heard many of them say things like, “I don’t even bother red pilling people any more”. I often wonder if any of us have actually ever successfully “red pilled? anyone, ever? For people not familiar with the term it comes from the movie the Matrix and simply means to reach someone who has believed the lies of media and government in a way where they wake up, like Neo in the movie and see “the matrix” for what it is, a lie. I think if you’d … Continue reading →

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago. How long ago you ask? That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008. This concept so resonated with people it became not just a common discussion topic, it actually inspired one couple (Johnny Max and his wife, AKA “The Queen”) to run an entire podcast for a number of years on the concept. I realized while we talk a ton about the concept of homesteading we have not looked at it from this angle in a while, so … Continue reading →

There is a math concept known as the “lowest common denominator” but this phrase is also used to describe people. It refers to, “the tendency to simplify or compromise complex ideas, art, or culture to appeal to the broadest possible audience, often at the expense of intellectual rigor or artistic merit”. The bullet points for today’s show were originally use in Episode 2548, published in June of 2019, about 6 months before the start of the CoVid Pandemic. The words proved more prophetic than I could have dreamed. So today we revisit this concept about over 5 years later. Join … Continue reading →
