In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel takes a second look at the Nigerian genocide with returning guest Mike Arnold, whose firsthand investigations challenge the growing narrative that the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria is merely a resource or climate conflict.

Arnold has traveled to Nigeria 16 times since 2010, visiting slaughtered villages, displaced person camps, and frontline communities targeted by jihadist violence. He breaks down how coordinated propaganda, public relations firms, and political alliances are being used to deny the religious nature of the attacks and shield those responsible from accountability.

The conversation examines how genocide denial is laundered through official talking points, why Western governments continue working with compromised Nigerian officials, and how terror is being used to clear land, destabilize populations, and enable outside economic interests.

Arnold also explains the human cost of this crisis, particularly the millions of displaced children facing radicalization without intervention, and why education and exposure are the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of violence.

This episode cuts through the spin and lays out what is actually happening on the ground, why the narrative matters, and why ignoring it has global consequences.

What challenges will 2026 bring for humanity? Are we up to the task, and how will we respond as Christians?

As 2026 unfolds, we face an unprecedented convergence of technological power, moral decay, and geopolitical instability driven by leaders who have abandoned constitutional and spiritual foundations. While the threat of destruction is real, the same era also offers an extraordinary opportunity for awakening through access to truth, history, and knowledge.

The future will be shaped by whether we choose fear and submission or courage, responsibility, and faithfulness to God in a moment that demands moral clarity

Guest: Everett Triplett started his adult life as a high school dropout and a minimum wage construction worker before Jesus Christ came into his life. Thereafter, Everett became a successful businessman, Real Estate Developer and Owner of a Commercial Construction and General Engineering Company.

Everett has written a number of books available on Amazon, where he became a watchman and voice for sanity and a Christian worldview in an increasingly humanistic secular world. Everett is a frequent speaker on the subjects of: Electro Magnetic Pulse weapons, the New World Order, and Independent Survival in a world spinning out of control.

Books by Everett Triplet (Amazon):

Dr. Lee Merritt is just the right person to diagnose the human condition. Her initial response to me is that a frontal lobotomy or strong coffee enema might help clean out the intellectual constipation that keeps most people from thinking clearly.

All kidding aside; it's no joke that most people are so convinced they must make nice with everyone that they are willing to go along with just about any injustice or fruitcake idea to placate the social justice warriors and internationalists that populate the loony left or neocon right.

For fear of being labeled as an isolationist, racist, sexist, fascist, homophobe, or anti-Semite, they sheepishly submit to endless war, forced vaccinations, patdowns at airports, suspension of Habeas Corpus rights, accept Drag Queen story hour at the local public library, relinquish all rights of association, etcetera, etcetera. Where will this insanity end?

It will end when we finally decide that enough is enough and quit accepting abnormal as normal, and Marxist social justice as American constitutional justice. We have endured 125 years of organized effort to convert America from a land of peaceful coexistence, rule of law, economic opportunity and individualism to a land of imperial overreach, collectivism and government control from cradle to grave.

Independent researcher Celeste Solum joins this episode as the conversation examines the growing evidence that humanity is being deliberately kept ignorant of both its true past and its present reality. Accepted historical, scientific, and political narratives increasingly fail to explain ancient structures, lost knowledge, and sudden gaps in human history that modern institutions insist are settled. 

The discussion explores suppressed history, advanced ancient civilizations, and architectural achievements that defy conventional timelines. Megalithic structures, precision stonework, and sites like Göbekli Tepe raise serious questions about what previous societies understood and why that knowledge no longer fits the official story.

Particular attention is given to the possibility that ancient architecture was not merely symbolic or religious, but functional, designed to harness natural forces such as electromagnetism and resonance in ways modern society no longer acknowledges.

The conversation also connects these historical blind spots to present-day systems of control. Expanding biosecurity frameworks, medical martial law infrastructure, and opaque government research operate with little transparency, while information overload and psychological operations keep the public distracted and dependent.

At its core, this episode addresses responsibility. A society cut off from truth becomes easy to manage. Ignorance is not accidental. It is cultivated. And the greatest danger is not what we know is false, but what we don’t realize we don’t know.

This episode is not about proving a single theory. It is about breaking the mental cage of certainty and recognizing that:

Much of what we “know” may be incomplete or false

Power structures depend on ignorance

History, science, and spirituality are deeply connected

Truth requires humility, courage, and discernment

This episode of Connecting the Dots exposes how medical authority, government agencies, and courts are increasingly being used against families who refuse mandated treatments or challenge institutional protocols. Guest host Mark Sutherland leads a deeply personal and investigative discussion revealing what many families are now experiencing as modern-day medical kidnapping.

What appears on the surface as isolated abuse is shown to be a systemic pattern operating under the cover of law, medical ethics, and emergency powers.

Across the country, families are discovering that informed consent is no longer guaranteed. Under emergency powers, court orders, and institutional protocols, medical decisions are being removed from parents and patients and placed into the hands of hospitals, agencies, and judges.

This conversation exposes how consent is overridden, how families are separated under medical authority, and how systems designed to protect are increasingly being used to control. From real-world cases to firsthand advocacy experience, this episode connects the legal, medical, and spiritual layers behind a problem many still don’t realize exists.

Guest: Margaret is a medical advocate who helps define and explain medical kidnapping from a clinical and parental rights perspective. She discusses how doctors initiate CPS involvement and how consent is overridden inside hospitals.

Guest: Laura manages a hospital hostage hotline and works with families whose loved ones are being held under forced medical protocols. She helped develop the “Do Not Consent” medical forms and explains how hospital systems deny consent and isolate patients.

In this powerful episode of Connecting the Dots, guest host Mark Sutherland leads a deep, unfiltered conversation exposing how corruption is protected, accountability is blocked, and citizen action is deliberately suppressed across America’s institutions.

Joining Mark are J.J. Humphrey, an Oklahoma State Representative who has confronted state agencies head-on, Doc Pete Chambers, a Texas gubernatorial candidate running on transparency, public service, and restoring lawful oversight, and Lewis Herms, a political candidate and media strategist focused on election integrity and citizen-driven oversight.

Together, they break down how media consolidation, controlled opposition, lawfare, and bureaucratic secrecy work together to shield fraud, silence whistleblowers, and prevent citizens from using constitutional tools like grand juries. The discussion exposes how corruption is not confined to Washington, D.C., but deeply embedded at the state and local level, where agencies routinely block public records, evade prosecution, and operate without consequence.

This episode goes beyond exposing the problem. It lays out why accountability has collapsed, how courts and prosecutors are being weaponized, and what lawful, citizen-driven solutions still exist for those willing to act.

If you want to understand:

Why massive fraud is rarely prosecuted

How media narratives discourage real civic action

Why grand juries are obstructed

And what it will take to restore accountability from the ground up

This is an episode you need to hear.

This episode of Connecting the Dots is a first-hand investigative discussion centered on what the guests describe as the global climate governance apparatus, specifically through the lens of COP 30, the United Nations climate process, and its real-world impacts on freedom, agriculture, property rights, energy, and political accountability.

Guest host Mark Sutherland is joined by Debbie Bacculuppi and Andrew Muller, both of whom attended COP 30 and related global summits firsthand. What they describe is not a debate over climate science, but a tightly controlled political environment where dissenting voices are almost entirely absent.

Debbie, a Northern California cattle rancher, explains how climate policy directly threatens land ownership, water access, and food production and why farmers and ranchers feel the impact long before the rest of society does.

Andrew shares what it was like being one of only a handful of independent journalists among tens of thousands of attendees, documenting how narrative control, symbolism, and institutional power operate behind the scenes.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on:

Why only a tiny number of dissenting journalists are allowed inside COP events

How climate policy is being used to reshape agriculture, energy, housing, and sovereignty

What a controversial anti-Trump sculpture at COP reveals about approved political messaging

Why rising energy costs, housing unaffordability, and loss of property rights are deeply connected

How global institutions bypass voters while shaping domestic policy

This episode isn’t about abstract theory, it’s about what the guests personally witnessed, filmed, and experienced.

What really happens inside the world’s largest climate conferences and why are so few journalists allowed to question it?

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, guest host Mark Sutherland leads a wide-ranging and unfiltered discussion examining the moral collapse behind America’s legal system, courts, and governing institutions. The conversation explores how law has shifted from a tool meant to protect citizens into a weapon used against them, particularly in family courts, administrative courts, and politically sensitive cases.

The panel breaks down how judicial activism, unchecked bureaucracy, and institutional corruption have eroded due process and equal protection under the law. They discuss real-world consequences for families, parents, and individuals caught in systems that operate with little transparency, accountability, or constitutional restraint.

Throughout the episode, the discussion connects historical precedents, constitutional principles, and present-day cases to show how abuse of authority has become normalized—and why many Americans no longer trust the institutions meant to serve them. This episode challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about power, justice, and what happens when morality is removed from the rule of law.

If you’ve ever wondered how America reached a point where courts can destroy lives while claiming to uphold justice, this episode pulls back the curtain and connects the dots.

This episode is fundamentally about how modern populations are controlled without realizing it, and why most people fail to recognize the systems shaping their beliefs, behavior, and compliance.

The world is not drifting into global control, it is being steered there with precision. Understanding the psychological and spiritual mechanisms behind mass compliance is essential for breaking it. If citizens don’t wake up and reclaim their role in self-governance, unaccountable technocrats will do the governing for them.

Filmmaker and commentator Mark Sutherland steps behind the microphone with co-host David Sumrall to examine the global forces reshaping Western civilization. Together they dismantle the narratives pushed by international institutions, captured media, and propaganda machines that keep citizens distracted while technocratic control structures tighten around them. 

Freedom dies first in the mind, then in the culture, and finally in the law.

Mark and David connect the dots between psychological conditioning, cultural erosion, global governance, and the spiritual battle underlying it all. They expose how mass compliance has become the ruling class’s greatest weapon and why reclaiming critical thought, moral conviction, and personal courage is essential if humanity hopes to push back against elite-driven transformation.

This episode is a direct challenge to passive spectatorship. It calls listeners to recognize the speed of the takeover, understand the mechanisms behind it, and step forward as engaged participants in the fight for truth, sovereignty, and genuine human freedom.

In this hard-hitting episode, guest host Mark Sutherland brings together two frontline political fighters from Oklahoma and Texas to confront the accelerating crises reshaping the American landscape. The conversation pulls no punches, exposing the coordinated pressures being applied on our institutions, our communities, and even our food supply, all part of a broader struggle over sovereignty in the 21st century.

Mark bridges UK and US activism, bringing on two candidates, JJ (Oklahoma) and Doc/Michael (Texas), for a raw conversation about:

Weaponized lawfare

State-vs-federal sovereignty

Immigration and demographic warfare

Revival of accountability inside the U.S. military

mRNA in livestock

Corporate capture of the food supply

Globalist attacks on property rights, farming, and national identity

Islamization of American cities

The spiritual warfare layer behind all of this

This episode has three layers happening at once:

Political ground game (state-level warfare)

Deep-state vs. constitutional order (lawfare, DOD, borders)

Civilizational struggle (values, demographics, sovereignty)

The guests outline how lawfare has replaced legitimate governance, weaponizing indictments, selective prosecution, and bureaucratic intimidation to silence political opponents. Rather than accept this as the new normal, states like Oklahoma and Texas are beginning to build multi-state legal alliances, forming the backbone of a new constitutional resistance.

Beyond the courtroom, the episode dives into the demographic battles unfolding across America. The rapid transformation of cities through unmanaged migration is no longer a future concern, it’s visible now in formerly stable communities from Michigan to Texas. As Mark notes, these changes aren’t random; they follow well-established patterns seen in Europe and the UK, reflecting a global strategy rather than isolated local events.

The guests also expose the biomedical and agricultural front of this struggle: unlawful military vaccine mandates that caused widespread injury, mRNA technology quietly entering the livestock supply, and corporate cartels tightening their grip on beef, pork, and poultry. Food, like energy and medicine, is becoming another lever of control and independent farmers are being squeezed out to make room for global “sustainability” regimes.

Guest: JJ: Candidate from Oklahoma. Former law enforcement background; active in exposing public corruption. Leading efforts to coordinate multi-state legal pushback against lawfare, selective prosecution, and constitutional violations. Known for bold state sovereignty initiatives, including investigations into unlawful federal mandates.

Guest: Doc / Michael: Texas Candidate & Military Whistleblower. Former military officer and medical professional who publicly exposed unlawful vaccine mandates inside the U.S. military. Testified in the high-profile SEALs v. DOD case, which helped overturn mandate policies for religious exemptions. Provides firsthand data on neurological injuries linked to forced vaccination programs and ongoing military accountability efforts.
