Ep 50Create FUN

E

Create art, create culture, create FUN! The left runs the culture and uses it against American classic values to ruthlessly reach the goals of the state over the citizen. Their cultural insanity stops the clock and enables this power grab. Your fun art gets a whole new Sub Pop Culture going and stops their anti-progress dead in it’s tracks.

Ep 41A Compass Not A Map

E

Where does the inspiration to “make it big” come from? What if that target is precisely what ruins so many? Making it big requires a treasure map, but making it medium and staying true requires a compass. We are all born with a compass but the culture hands everyone a map.

Ep 39The Algorithm is Communist

E

Man is like a computer. He is programmable and can be led to predetermined outcomes by algorithms. Social media algorithms are communist and feed the government’s appetite for power. Therefore the government is communist too and that’s why they will never curb social media’s power - but we can and we will by curbing our own behavior so that the human data information system is unreliable to the government and befuddles it’s efforts to keep us divided and controlled.

Ep 35Are You Paying Attention Yet?

E

Politics, politics, politics is never free and never true. You PAY with your time and the cost is your freedom to create and maintain the world around you. Never pay with time for that which is free. Your opinion can and should change often. The return to Americanism is the return to the middle where common sense is true and politics will never do.

Ep 34American Apologetics

E

The American Way endures when we the people remember who we really are. Kind, gentle, selfless and wise. A family united around an ideal - that it is better to be free than in bondage and for that reason alone liberty must be defended from all who try to usurp our simple, yet magnificent power.

Ep 33Hooked!

Americans are hooked on political division and outrage, which fuels the consolidation of power away from the people.

Americans find themselves in another time for choosing. Will we be sub-agents of corporations and their paid off cold hearted technocrats or will we become brilliant sub-culturists who restore the American lore that makes us whole and keeps us free?
