Episode #217 -- Stormy Waters and Navigating the Black Holes of Culture

Dexter White returns to discuss why what you thought you hated inStar Wars: The Acolyte wasn't anything different than why you thought you hated Trump's Budget Reconciliation bill or any other "Outrage Du Jour."  We have a growing divide in political commentary that has trapped an entire locus of people on the left and the right to ensure there is no center. Show Notes:Tom on XDexter on XTom & Dexter on Patreon

Bitcoin advocate, entrepreneur, and Albertan patriot Dave Bradley joins me for a belated look at the G-7, Albertan independence and how the rush for pristine collateral is the race against time that Davos and City of London are working so hard to avoid going against their plans for a digitized neo-feudal world.Show Notes:Dave on XThe Bitcoin RodeoTom on XTom on Patreon

Vince Lanci returns to the podcast to follow up on Episode #213's discussion with Caitlin Long.  Vince lays out his argument for why the GENIUS Bill, stablecoins, and crypto will usher in a new era of financial terms enforced this time by the US vs. City of London.  It's the flipside to the ideas floated by Ms. Long.   In short, dollar bulls and bears may in fact be right... but for reasons you haven't truly thought of yet.Show Notes:Ep#213 Caitlin Long and the Financial Crisis that Wasn'tVBL's GoldFixVince on XTom on XGGNG Patreon

Commentator Stormy Waters joins the podcast for a discussion on the nature of power, how it projects and protects itself in the context of the current political and cultural battle for mindshare.  A meditation on quantum mechanics, the culture war and how those things intersected to leave Donald Trump alive and now in power in the US.Show Notes: Stormy on XTom on XGold, Goats 'n Guns Patreon

Author EM Burlingame joins the podcast to explain the centuries-old process of wealth identification and extraction he's termed the "Financial Kill Chain" which goes back to even before the formation of the Bank of England in 1694.  We establish EM's thesis and apply it to the modern implementation of it as it pertains to the US, the UK and how it's failed in both Putin's Russia and Xi's China.A fascinating talk that is as profane as it is profound.  Truly not NSFW.  Show Notes:EM Burlingame on XEM on Substack The Financial Kil Chain Tom on XGold, Goats 'n Guns on Patreon
