Today marks the 13th anniversary of the post-9/11 invasion of Iraq. March 20th, 2003 was the date on which the Western Empire began its insane quest to 'reshape the Middle East' through violent intervention. This week on Behind the Headlines, we'll be looking back at the bloody mayhem the Iraq War unleashed, and discussing its ongoing ramifications as it continues spreading today, not least in Turkey, where yet another 'suicide' bombing took place this week. Unlike the American 'Mission...

The Islamic State pretends to be viable state. It's right there in their name. But are they? And if they are, can they sustain themselves? There are certain reasons why states survive or fail, but the least discussed reasons are perhaps the most important. Luckily, these are discussed in Andrew Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology. On this episode of the Truth Perspective, we continued where our previous discussion of radicalization left off, showing why Daesh is doomed to fail, and how its...

Is cold actually good for you? We've all heard stories about long-lived people from Northern Europe and the hardiness of those who live in cold environments, but can these benefits be available to everyone? Can you avoid sickness and infirmity by exposing yourself to the cold? What are the actual mechanisms of how cold adaptation affects the human body? These are the questions we explored on this week's Health and Wellness show: The Benefits of Cold Adaptation. We also discussed Wim Hof's...

With post-9/11 anti-Muslim hysteria in the West providing fertile ground for the perception of today's refugee crisis in Europe as a "Muslim horde invading Western civilization to rape our women, steal our jobs and generally tarnish Our White European Christian Values", intense historical revisionism is underway to paint Muslims as having always been a 'backwards, sub-human horde'. In a throwback to the Medieval crusades, today's Western wars of conquest in the Muslim world have essentially...

This week, the Truth Perspective hosts were joined by Joe Quinn and Niall Bradley from Behind the Headlines. If you read the papers or watch the news, you probably 'know' that radicalization is the biggest threat to human civilization and values the world has ever seen. But is it really? The phenomenon of radicalization is much discussed, but ill-defined and not thoroughly understood. The word itself has become a convenient catch-all for individuals and groups with a variety of goals and...

Today on the Health & Wellness Show we looked at some of the latest headlines and connected the dots to get an overall picture of what's happening to our collective state of health here on the big blue marble. Has America truly become an Idiocracy where citizens are so dumbed down that they trust the people who know the least and ridicule any sort of rational, well-read, informed knowledge? Are we creating a world of dummies through toxic junk-food lifestyles exported abroad, setting an...

The evidence is all around that our current global society has reached its nadir. Today, the rampant corruption and psychopathy that define state and global 'leadership' has filtered down to sully all levels of society. From the new phony religion of myopic and obtuse 'science' and the old phony religion of made-up gods and saviors promising eternal bliss in 'heaven' or eternal damnation in 'hell', to sweat shops for the poor and dead-end mind-numbing jobs for the 'rich'. Our chronically...

Broadcasting from deep in the heart of the American Empire, join your hosts Elan Martin and Harrison Koehli, and fellow Sott.net editors as they discuss everything from current events and the latest machinations and manipulations of the global elite to history, science, and religion, and how it all fits together. This week we'll be looking at methods used in the cognitive sciences for personal development and their application for seeing and understanding global events. SOTT is an...

This is the testimonials show where people can share their stories of dietary change and the effects they've experienced. On the Health and Wellness show we've talked about the ketogenic diet, the paleo diet, the vegetarian myth as well as the benefits of going gluten and dairy free and GMO free. Our listeners are well aware, or should be, of the importance of diet as the foundation for for good health whether it be mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. It's pretty sad to realize that...

This week on Behind the Headlines, Joe and Niall were joined by Harrison Koehli to discuss the work of Kazimierz Dabrowski and how his ideas apply on the personal and global level. A psychologist whose ground-breaking contributions to psychology turned many 20th century assumptions about 'psychological issues' on their head, Dabrowski's excellent book on human development, Personality Shaping Through Positive Disintegration, is available through Red Pill Press. This episode of Behind the...
