Based With Brett Craig

My Twitter Poll about the “He Gets Us” campaign. It’s split down the middle.

Also, AOC criticizes the “He Gets Us” campaign and suggests it’s fascist.

Adweek says the “He Gets Us” campaign is neither here nor there. I agree.

Media No-Fly Zones are when the woke and the media conspire to create an inviolable airspace around a particular issue, where social stigma and sanction await all who dare violate the zone. I’ll discuss why it’s important to pay attention to these No-Fly Zones - and be willing to broach these topics. I’ll also discuss how each of us also can have personal No-Fly Zones - areas in our life that need to be pulled out of the darkness, into the light and brought before God, so we can truly heal and be set free. Remember to subscribe to The Big Picture on Youtube. I would truly appreciate it!

Increasingly, we’re being told that it’s insensitive or wrong to ask very basic, legitimate questions - and I make the case that it’s happening again with the Damar Hamlin story. Repeatedly, establishment narratives are instantaneously formed about events like Hamlin’s collapse, then corporate media, in mindless lockstep, disseminates these narratives - and anyone who questions the consensus is instantly vilified or deplatformed. I talk about what is behind this relatively new phenomena in America and I’ll argue why I believe it’s indicative of a growing spiritual darkness.

In this podcast, I discuss why wokeness is fast-becoming the biggest - and most dangerous - cult of all time. I talk about the movie, The Bodysnatchers, and how the woke mind virus reminds me of this disturbing movie. We will examine the parallels between wokeness and cults, as well as the fundamental spiritual blindness that drives the woke phenomenon. And most importantly, I discuss what can be done to break the woke cult’s spell.

According to Elon Musk, Apple is considering banning Twitter from its App Store. I discuss how tragically ironic that would be. After all, Apple is the brand who once stood up to Big Brother in what is regarded to be the greatest commercial of all time,“1984”, (by my former agency, TBWA/Chiat/Day). Yet now it seems Apple has, indeed, become Big Brother. Today, the world’s biggest company suppresses expression at home - and abroad - on behalf entities like the Chinese Communist Party. What forces are at work that would compel the company - that once told the world to “Think Different” - to become a brand that stands against free speech? And why do the woke seem to desire and even enjoy censorship? **And don’t miss my new manifesto for Apple: “Think Similar” which is at the very end (skip to it if you must).

In this podcast, I discuss the DEI/Social Justice worldview which makes gratitude impossible and, ultimately, leads to hopelessness. I share an interesting anecdote about “White Fragility” author, Robin DiAngelo. I talk about the importance of giving thanks to God - despite the many problems we have in America, in the world and all the setbacks we each face. And I’ll explain why we can - as James and Jesus instruct us - remain thankful in spite of our many trials.

In this podcast, I explain how Corporate DEI initiatives exploit everyone involved, including, ironically, the very people they claim they are helping (People of Color). I use, as an example, Chief Experience Design Officer, Walter T. Geer’s Oct. LinkedIn post in which he says “NO WHITE EXECS ARE SHOWING UP” to panels in which POC speakers share their perspectives. I explain why I think Walter has a valid point - namely, that Ad Agencies and Corporations love to talk about social justice and DEI but there’s a gap between what they say and what they do. But per Walter’s question, what’s the solve? I will offer my humble advice.

In this podcast, I discuss the total unpersoning of Ye West by corporate America for his anti-Semitic comments. I contrast Ye’s swift erasure with the deafening, society-wide silence regarding the ubiquitous, mainstreamed anti-white racism which permeates high culture and enjoys full institutional backing. I will give example after example of shocking, overt anti-white racism in journalism, social media, politics and entertainment (some links below).

In today’s podcast, I discuss how DEI enters an institution, presenting itself as a “brave” or “healing” “conversation” about race, when, in fact, there’s no real dialogue happening. Outcomes of the so-called “discussion” are already predetermined and any dissent against DEI’s politicized edicts is never taken seriously. I go deeper on my personal experience with DEI, the gaslighting, bullying and false narratives many are surely encountering in their corporations and schools right now.

In this episode, I discuss the rising tide of anti-white rhetoric being injected into corporate America via DEI. I’ll unpack what “whiteness” means, according the woke, and how it’s being used to divide and control Americans. I also discuss why I think corporations allowing this anti-white language is incredibly dangerous. Click below to see some of the anti-white articles I mention on the podcast.
