#505: What Is the Cost of Glory? | Alex Petkas

Alex Petkas is a former professor who had to walk away from the dysfunctional world of academia to embark on his own Odysee to spread the work of some of the greatest minds of ancient Greece. The writings of Plutarch, one of the priests of the Temple of Delphi, is his area of expertise, and the writings show many similarities between the fall of the Roman Empire and the American Empire’s controlled demolition. Join Alex on one of his retreats in Austin, Texas, or the guided tours of modern-day Rome to learn about how the empire fell while visiting the actual locations. His online oratorical gym called “The Rostra” is where members can work with other orators to improve their storytelling and presentation skills. His “Cost of Glory” podcast just crossed the 100-episode mark and can be found wherever podcasts are served.

The planning of 9/11 was not left to the amateurs, as this was the biggest operation that the New World Order had ever undertaken. Deep operators who understood the mechanics of Washington D.C. and the Pentagon were required, former intelligence directors and even presidents had to be called in, and everything had to be kept very quiet in a world that was becoming increasingly more transparent as the internet took hold. Loyalty and trust between thieves would be put to the test. On the morning of September 11th, 2001, all of the planning and manipulation that had taken place behind the scenes for years was finally ready to be unleashed upon the world in an event that would change the course of humanity forever and end with the death of millions of innocent people thousands of miles away from lower Manhattan. After two decades most people are still blissfully unaware of the actual reason for the attacks of 9/11, have no idea that “the calls were coming from inside the house”, and believe that 19 Arab hijackers with box cutters pulled off the most complicated terrorist event even though they lacked the skill and capabilities to do so. It’s time to get honest about who was actually behind the events of September 11th, 2001.

We are proud to announce that MACRO Productions has acquired the long-running “problematic” independent news site Activist Post, as well as the equally subversive alternative health website Natural Blaze, in an all-Bitcoin transaction on December 31st, 2024. For the past 14 years, both Activist Post and Natural Blaze have held themselves to incredibly high standards and have been punished by advertisers and social media platforms as a result. In 2016, Activist Post and 200 other news websites including Wikileaks and ZeroHedge, were targeted by the government-connected think tank, the Foreign Policy Research Center, in an effort to scare away advertisers. Welcome to the Activist Post and Natural Blaze audiences who listen to this episode, and please consider subscribing and rating the show. The topics are similar, and the guests are often the same people who write the articles, making this a natural fit.

After 30 years in the music industry, John Gusty moved into the alternative health field after his wife was diagnosed with MS and he witnessed the brutal nature of the American medical machine with his own eyes. Advocating on her behalf became a mission to inform others of how dangerous the established medical industry has become. Dr. Jeremy Ayres trained under the right doctors and was able to extract himself from the traditional healthcare industry before it was too late. Spreading health literacy to the world has taken on added importance in the aftermath of the COVID scamdemic, and their book The Red Pill Revolution has helped thousands of people understand the psychological operation that they just lived through.

Host of the Arterburn Radio Transmission & owner of Wise Wolf Gold & Silver, Tony Arterburn, makes another appearance to discuss how sound money, cycles, and human psychology play an oversized role in the emergence of great civilizations, while simultaneously assuring their own destruction through the transition to fiat currencies, down cycles, and ignorance of the normalcy bias. Are we on the cusp of a Fourth Turning where the cultural norms of society are flipped on their heads so that a new ideology can take root, or have we already entered the new paradigm of Woke ideas and nonsensical priorities? Either way, brace yourself for a bumpy ride as we transition into the New Normal.

Germany is a mess these days, and they have nobody to blame but themselves. The self-immolation has been taken to new levels under the forced migration imposed by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation in conjunction with the European Union. Schools in Berlin are warzones, with teachers and principals quitting in droves to avoid being stabbed to death by their students representing 23 different countries who do not speak the language. Baltimore and Chicago may have low test scores, but violent crime has doubled in just a year in Berlin inside schools. Is diversity really Germany’s strength, or did they fall for the advertising campaign?

The director of “Drugs as Weapons Against Us” is back with the follow-up, “CIA: Drugs R Us”, which begins with opium money financing the creation of Ivy League universities two hundred years ago, and ends with Cortney Love’s role as a subversive with intelligence ties. From Lookout Mountain and Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to the Tavistock Institute in London, the role LSD played in shaping society for the better part of a decade included the endorsements of the biggest names in the music industry. Most of them against their will.

The marriage between Saudi Arabia and the United States is on the rocks, to say the very least. The Petrodollar arrangement is an integral part of keeping the US Dollar relevant internationally as it set the rules for conducting oil trade in only America’s currency, but those days may be coming to an end sooner than most people anticipated. As the Saudis look to diversify away from only being known as the world’s gas station, they are using their sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, to finance Vision 2030 which seeks to transform the Kingdom into the heart of the Arab and Islamic world and a global investment powerhouse. Will the Saudis be able to untangle themselves from their half-century relationship with the Americans in order to jump into bed with the Chinese, or will Mohammed bin Salman pivot to his vision for 2030 where the United States has a diminished role?

 The 500th episode of Macroaggressions is dedicated to the memory of my mother who passed away in early November from pancreatic cancer. This is the story of how a trip to Las Vegas lasted three months, and how many of my worst fears were realized simultaneously. Cramming for the final to understand cancer as quickly as possible is something that millions of people have experienced, but having connections to alternative medicine providers developed throughout the past 500 episodes certainly did shorten the learning curve, as a plan for treatment was implemented in just a matter of days. A very special thanks to Andy, Aubrey, and Bristol who were with me the entire time and kept me busy and well-fed. I’m very fortunate to have such amazing friends. Also to my wife and daughter who pulled my weight back home when I could not, and who understood that I had to see this situation through to the very end.

The founder of Above Phone and TakeBackOurTech.org, Hakeem Anwar, stops by to offer solutions to the problem of a lack of privacy online and especially on our cell phones. The Above phones and laptops are built using software that prevents the sort of tracking and spying that has become standard these days. The Vault 7 leaks showed how the CIA had hacked every cell phone before it came out of the box with technology from a decade ago. Taking control of one’s privacy is paramount, and Hakeem Anwar has a few solutions for those who understand what is at stake.
