Dr. Jacob Nordangård joins us to discuss the decades of research that led him from questions about peak oil and energy policy into a much broader investigation of climate policy, global governance, and the institutions shaping international agendas. Once active in the environmental movement himself, Jacob explains how his research into the climate crisis led him to discover many of the same organizations and influential figures appearing across the energy sector, environmental initiatives, and global policymaking. As he followed the funding, he repeatedly encountered major philanthropic foundations, particularly the Rockefeller Foundation, and began examining their historical role in climate policy, research, and international organizations, including the Club of Rome.

Jacob shares how each discovery led to another, revealing what he believes are longstanding connections. He discusses the historical roots of these networks, tracing them back to the origins of climate science in the late nineteenth century and to international conferences in the 1950s where these ideas were discussed alongside eugenics and population control. The conversation also explores his research into military involvement, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the expansion of digital identity systems, which he argues reflect many of the same institutional networks documented throughout his work.

Finally, we discuss where these trends could lead if they continue, including the future of digital IDs and unbridled surveillance. Jacob shares why he believes informing others, building strong communities, and fostering creativity are essential responses to the challenges he sees ahead. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of remaining engaged, asking questions, and maintaining hope in humanity.

Left vs. Right or Communism vs. Corporate Cronyism. In this episode, we discuss the idea that today's elections have become a choice between two different systems of control: communism and corporatocracy. We compare the ideological roots of the modern Democratic Party with the principles of communism, examine the Republican Party's growing ties to corporate cronyism, and discuss how both models can concentrate power at the expense of individual liberty and constitutional government.

To illustrate these parallels, we examine the growing number of elected officials affiliated with or endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America and compare modern socialist policies with the defining characteristics of communism. We then turn to the Republican Party, using the Supreme Court's Monsanto glyphosate decision and continued congressional funding for the Ukraine war as examples of how corporate interests and the military-industrial complex can shape public policy.

Ultimately, we make the point that there really is no more "choosing the lesser of two evils." The only option remaining is to exit the system entirely.

This week, we welcome back Sheriff Richard Mack to discuss his new book, The Democrat Murder of America: Demagoguery in the First Degree, co-authored with Dan Perkins. Sheriff Mack shares the story behind the book, why he and Perkins chose such a provocative title, and their mission to spark a national conversation about the future of America, political division, media influence, constitutional government, and the principles that once united the nation.

The discussion explores Sheriff Mack's landmark Supreme Court victory, the role of the Constitution in limiting government power, the dangers of centralized authority, and concerns about socialism, political tribalism, and the erosion of individual liberty. We also dive into topics including January 6, media narratives, the difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy, the influence of the education system, and why Americans of all political backgrounds should be willing to challenge their assumptions and engage in difficult conversations.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, we find ourselves asking just how many of the principles that founded this nation have been abandoned. This week, we tackle some of the topics dominating today's political landscape, including Tulsi Gabbard's departure from the Trump administration, growing concerns over foreign influence in U.S. policy, America's involvement in overseas conflicts, and the widening divide within the MAGA movement. We explore why so many Americans feel disillusioned with the political process, and how media narratives, political theater, and endless distractions are keeping us from recognizing where the real power lies.

The conversation also connects the dots between data centers, AI surveillance, eminent domain battles, corporate influence, and the increasing consolidation of power both at home and abroad. Drawing on lessons from recent guests and current events, we discuss why meaningful change starts at the local level, why informed citizens remain the greatest threat to centralized control, and what it will take to reclaim our constitutional freedoms.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Jacob Johnson, we continue our exploration of mind control, propaganda, and psychological operations. From MK Ultra and the Manchurian Candidate concept to hypnosis, NLP, and the work of Edward Bernays, Jacob explains how influence and behavioral conditioning may shape both individuals and society at large. We discuss Robert Kennedy, Sirhan Sirhan, media manipulation, and the growing role of psychological warfare in modern culture.

The conversation then turns to some of the most controversial topics in modern history, including Jeffrey Epstein, the Franklin Scandal, the Finders, McMartin Preschool, Iran-Contra, intelligence agencies, blackmail networks, and child trafficking. We examine the connections between power, influence, and information control, and ask what all of these things have in common.

Most importantly, we discuss solutions. Jacob shares why he believes the path forward starts with education, strong families, local communities, self-sufficiency, and a commitment to seeking truth. Our chat with Jacob was a thought-provoking discussion on freedom, consciousness, and the battle for the hearts and minds of future generations. Find more of Jacob's work here:

In part 1 of a 2-part episode series, we sit down with Jacob Johnson, host of Rise to Liberty podcast, independent researcher, and former Utah House candidate to explore the hidden forces shaping modern society. What began as a journey into liberty-minded politics evolved into a deep investigation of propaganda, psychological operations, government corruption, and the influence of intelligence agencies. We discuss why local politics are far more important than Washington, D.C., how community involvement has collapsed across America, and why some believe the greatest examples of corruption are happening not in Congress, but quite close to home.

The conversation takes a turn as we examine declassified programs such as MKUltra, Operation Paperclip, and Project Mockingbird. We explore what these programs reveal about government-sponsored behavioral research, the history of propaganda in America, and whether the techniques developed decades ago could still influence society today. Along the way, we discuss Manchurian Candidate theories, hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), psychological conditioning, and the growing debate surrounding surveillance technologies, brain-computer interfaces, and modern information warfare.

We've talked about Agenda 2030 quite a bit. This week, we consider that the deadline is fast approaching and the countless changes we have already seen because of it. By 2030, the big story may not just be energy or technology itself, but the scale of land conversion behind it. Across solar farms, data centers, forest management, critical minerals, carbon pipelines, and weather modification, millions of acres are being targeted, reshaped, or put under new forms of control. Solar alone already covers hundreds of thousands of acres nationally, with some estimates putting farmland converted for solar at roughly 550,000 to 600,000 acres, and projections going much higher as buildout expands. Data centers are spreading even faster in development terms: more than 1,500 are planned nationwide, many in rural regions, and average site sizes are around 224 acres, with some hyperscale projects reaching far beyond that.

What ties all of this together is the way land is being repurposed for large systems that are described as necessary for clean energy, digital growth, climate resilience, or national security. But on the ground, that often means farmland, forests, and open space are being absorbed into industrial infrastructure, while local communities worry about eminent domain, water use, habitat loss, public health, and loss of control. In that sense, the central question for 2030 is not just whether the projects succeed, but how much land they collectively consume and who ends up bearing the cost of that transformation.

This week we're talking about what appears to be the endless stream of distractions. While we care little about the recent release of the UAP/UFO files or the rodent-spread Hantavirus making its way through the newsfeed, we think it's important to consider WHY these things are currently being discussed at length in the media. Meanwhile, the Epstein survivors are testifying underoath, and from the mainstream? Crickets.

We spend some time reminiscing on the efforts of our ancestors in the Revolutionary era in what has come to be known as the Pine Tree Riot. This type of bold defiance is exactly what is necessary to right the course we have found ourselves in.

Stay vigilant.
