Podcast - Geopolitics & Empire

Brett Carollo discusses how transhumanism operates not merely as a secular philosophy or scientific endeavor, but as a de facto religious movement and the core worldview of the global superclass. Carollo traces the intellectual history of this movement, explaining its deep roots in ancient Gnosticism, eugenics, and occult traditions like Prometheanism and Luciferianism. The discussion highlights how technocratic elites use emerging technologies, AI, and biotechnology to pursue a perverse form of deification called apotheosis. Finally, the dialogue contrasts this technocratic obsession with individual ego godhood against the traditional Christian concept of theosis, which emphasizes spiritual union with God rather than through the implementation of a dystopian, post-human cybernetic society.

Dr. Martin Erdmann discusses the historical and modern persistence of mercantilism, portraying it as an ongoing global system driven by centralized banking cartels, state-sanctioned monopolies, and the systematic creation of credit money out of nothing. The conversation links this financial exploitation to historical practices such as the enclosure of common land and the drug trade, arguing that these methods intentionally trap populations in wage slavery and financial precarity. Furthermore, the discussion explores the occult and hermetic origins of the financial and technological revolutions, highlighting how figures like Isaac Newton pursued alchemical goals of immortality alongside financial control.

William Ramsey discusses the Knights of the Golden Circle, a forgotten nineteenth-century secret society that attempted to expand slavery and imperial supranational territorial control across the Americas. They were also linked to parapolitical activities such as the assassination of President Lincoln. The conversation connects this historical adventuring group to the contemporary movements of technocracy, regional federation, and the broader trajectory of world government. Recurring patterns of centralized authority, feudalism, supranational federation, and covert maneuvering persist across centuries of global history.

Researcher Mark Passio, a former priest in the Church of Satan, discusses natural law and personal responsibility, arguing that humanity’s primary problem is widespread ignorance of objective morality. He strongly criticizes organized religion, government, and the concept of authority, equating the belief in rulers to the endorsement of slavery. He explains how an occultocratic elite are working to enslave humanity because humanity itself permits itself to be enslaved. He comments on our future prospects as well as other issues such as the lamestream alternative media. Rather than endlessly analyzing daily political events, Passio emphasizes that true solutions require deep self-examination and moral transformation.
