He explains why Plutarch is more important than you think and how the ancient Greeks and Romans are the model of manliness and hero culture for the West. He points out ancient elite dynamics and past history which rhymes with the present.

Jeff Rich discusses the global conflicts underway and why he thinks this time America will not come out on top as the rest of the world forces change. The West will fight to the death to prevent their decline. Aggressive NATO expansion into Asia can be interpreted as weakness because Washington no longer can sustain its power projection. He comments on the economic transition and the deep state or what he prefers to call the shallow state. As a retired bureaucrat, given his experience, he doubts the success with which the government will be able to implement technocratic projects such as smart cities. We can find more meaningful ways to live our lives by focusing on our own localities. He looks forward to a coming reformulation of the world order.

Tim Hinchliffe discusses media, fake news (e.g. The People's Voice, Slay News), and being singled out by and drawing the ire of the World Economic Forum (WEF). He breaks down some of the takeaways from the UN Summit of the Dystopian Future, Queen Maxima Tyrannia's "Digital Proletariat Infrastructure," and how their goal is to have the entire world population electrified, connected to the internet, and in possession of a smartphone. Being Amish is not allowed and in fact Amish are being targeted. The Algorithm Ghetto is all-inclusive, no one can be excluded! We get a little metaphysical and "cyberdelic" toward the end!

Retired Australian Army Officer Cameron Leckie discusses becoming disillusioned with the military-industrial-complex and his working assumption that we are headed for major war(s) which could be regional or global (e.g. WWIII). War is being driven by the Collective West. He talks AUKUS, Australian foreign policy, how Washington plans to use Canberra as cannon fodder for war against China, and what the consequences would be for Australia. He comments on the timeline for war, NATO, drone warfare, the Middle East, American exceptionalism, and BRICS.

Ned Ryun discusses his new book American Leviathan on the progressive, statist, utopian, and administrative state whose ultimate end is authoritarianism. It is a miracle that we have made it this far into the managerial state without a total collapse of freedom. Nothing else matters until the deep state is dismantled, everything else is pointless.
