In this episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with author and truth seeker Jeffrey Hann, whose recent books The Fallacious Belief in Government and COVID-19: Short Path to ‘You’ll Own Nothing and You’ll Be Happy’ pull no punches in exposing the brutal realities of global control, technocratic overreach, and engineered tyranny.

We dive deep into the AI surveillance dragnet being built around us, the implications of Trump’s war rhetoric and alignment with the military-industrial complex, and the broader patterns of manufactured crises being used to usher in the new age of control. Jeffrey lays out what he believes is a path of inevitable collapse—and how to survive what’s coming.

But we didn’t stop there.

We also explored how decentralization, privacy coins like Zano, and conscious resistance to the digital slavery grid are not just strategies — they’re necessities. And even though much of the conversation focused on the darkness of our current moment, we still managed to close things out on a white pill — with hope, empowerment, and the reminder that we still have choices. 

Tune in, question everything, and remember: awareness is the first step toward liberation. (Length: 1:05:32)

On this episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Matt, Jason, and Don sit down with legendary civil liberties attorney and constitutional scholar John W. Whitehead, founder and president of The Rutherford Institute. John has been on the front lines of the battle for freedom for over four decades—fighting government overreach in courtrooms, writing more than a dozen books (including Battlefield America), and warning us about the coming surveillance state long before it was mainstream.

We kick off the show unpacking Trump’s unhinged push for war with Iran and the ruling class interests pulling the strings behind him. As John reminds us, every U.S. war begins with lies—and none of them make us safer. From there, we pivot into the creeping technocracy swallowing our rights, with Trump now embracing Palantir to track, score, and ultimately target dissenters—especially those who dare to oppose war.

John helps us break it all down, showing how the surveillance state isn’t about security—it’s about control. And as always, we wrap with some much-needed white pills. John offers a grounded and inspirational vision for resistance, from local action to legal defense, reminding us that the fight is not over—and that freedom is still worth fighting for.

In this episode, Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with Matt Cormier, the researcher and creator behind HealthUncensored.com, a platform dedicated to exposing the hidden forces undermining public health — from metabolic decline and environmental toxins to medical censorship and institutional fraud.

We dive deep into Matt’s current focus: the global drop in average human body temperature and what it signals about our collective health. Matt explains why this subtle shift could be a canary in the coal mine for immune dysfunction, metabolic disease, and widespread hormonal collapse — and why it's not being discussed.

The conversation expands into the root causes behind this trend, including ultra-processed food, toxic plastics, pharmaceutical overload, and a rigged medical establishment that would rather normalize dysfunction than fix it. We also discuss Matt’s efforts to publish a powerful study on autism and the connection between body temperature and cognitive function.

To wrap it all up, we ask Matt how humanity can “get hot again” — leaving listeners with a call to action and a hopeful reminder that awareness is the first step toward healing. (Length: 1:02:05) 

In this enlightening episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Jason flies solo (with Matt on vacation) for a deep-dive conversation with longtime liberty activist and Free Talk Live co-host, Mark Edge. Note: Jason's mic wasn’t working correctly for the first 17 minutes — but the insights are worth sticking around for.

Mark's radio co-host and Free Talk Live co-founder, Ian Freeman, is currently serving time in federal prison for the "crime" of facilitating Bitcoin transactions — a glaring example of the federal government’s ongoing war on crypto. We unpack Ian's unjust prosecution, his prank encounter with Joe Biden that may have put him in the feds’ crosshairs, and the heartbreaking reality that Free Talk Live is now on life support.

Jason and Mark also reflect on their time at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the energy and evolution of the crypto movement, and briefly touch on Roger Ver’s new book Hijacking Bitcoin. We discuss the importance of decentralization, the co-optation risks crypto faces, and Ross Ulbricht’s powerful first public speech since being imprisoned in 2013.

The conversation turns toward the two-party illusion, the failures of political reform through party expansion, and whether Trump's second term could change the trajectory of the crypto crackdown. We wrap with a white pill: Mark’s optimism, what keeps him going after nearly two decades in the fight for liberty, and how we can support Ian and others like him.

This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about digital freedom, liberty activism, and the future of financial sovereignty. (Length: 51:10)

In this special episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Aaron Day and Quinten van Welzen for a powerful and hopeful discussion about Zano, digital freedom, and the future of decentralized resistance.

This episode avoids the heavy tech jargon and instead explores the human philosophy and mission behind Zano — a cryptocurrency project that’s much more than just a coin. Quinten breaks down how Zano enables private transactions, confidential assets, community marketplaces, and even user-generated coins, making it a full privacy-respecting ecosystem built to empower individuals around the world.

We also dive into Zano’s deflationary economic model, contrasting it with the unchecked inflation and debt-fueled spending of centralized governments — particularly relevant as the U.S. ramps up military budgets and inches closer to CBDC-style control through stablecoins.

Aaron shares insight on the broader battle for financial freedom and privacy, including his advocacy for Roger Ver, who is facing politically motivated prosecution. We end the show with an important update on Roger’s case — and why a recent Department of Justice memo could mean it should be dropped altogether.

If you’re looking for real tools to opt out of the digital control grid — and some much-needed inspiration — this is an episode you don’t want to miss. (Length: 1:04:08)

In this week’s episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with John Kiriakou—former CIA officer turned whistleblower, best-selling author, and one of the few people ever prosecuted for exposing the U.S. government’s illegal torture program. After blowing the whistle on CIA waterboarding, John became a powerful voice for truth, transparency, and accountability in an age of state secrecy and suppression.

We dive straight into the current state of the American police state, discussing the Trump administration’s troubling remarks about suspending habeas corpus, and what that could mean for dissenters and immigrants alike. We explore the alarming normalization of censorship, as the U.S. government continues to universities and punish those who dare to speak out against its narratives.

The conversation then turns to U.S.-Israel relations, as we analyze the theatrical "shift" in Trump’s tone toward Netanyahu and Israel’s influence on American foreign policy. Is it genuine? Or just more Kabuki theater masking business as usual? John gives us some powerful insight on why this may actually be genuine. 

We also examine America’s role in cultivating the opium trade in Afghanistan, and the decades-long hypocrisy of the so-called war on drugs. John offers rare firsthand insight from inside the system—what was said versus what was done—and how that disconnect continues to drive global suffering.

As always, we end on a white pill note, asking John what gives him hope and whether the truth is still worth the cost in a world that punishes it. His answer is as heartfelt as it is encouraging.

This is a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation with one of the bravest voices in modern American history.

In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt welcome back returning guest Carey Wedler, a journalist, editor, and long-time voice for liberty and integrity in independent media. Carey is the author of the Pleasure to Burn Substack, where she dives into topics ranging from political hypocrisy and propaganda to fear psychology and decentralization—all through a lens of principled consistency.

We kick off the episode by digging into Carey’s recent article she wrote for the Free Thought Project, “From Drain the Swamp to Drown in Debt,” where she calls out the glaring hypocrisy in the first 100 days of the Trump administration. We examine how so many of Trump’s supporters—who once decried big government, war, censorship, and surveillance—now cheerlead these same policies under a new banner. Why is it so easy for people to abandon their principles? Why does team loyalty seem to override truth?

Carey unpacks those questions with a powerful exploration of fear, chronic stress, and the neuroscience behind political compliance. She explains how manipulated fear responses, constant crisis narratives, and tribalism keep the public in a reactive state—where principles are sacrificed and critical thinking is sidelined.

Despite the grim outlook, Carey leaves us with a handful of hopeful, empowering white pills—reminding us that awareness, decentralization, and inner peace are potent forms of resistance.

This was Carey’s second time on the show, and as always, she brought both clarity and depth to the conversation. (Length: 1:03:31)

In this explosive episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with returning guest James Corbett — independent journalist, researcher, and founder of The Corbett Report. Known globally for his meticulous investigations into 9/11, technocracy, and the rise of globalist power structures, James has been producing hard-hitting alternative media content since 2007. He’s been a principled voice for truth when it was neither profitable nor popular — and he’s back with us for the second time, following the release of his new book, Reportage: Essays on the New World Order.

Together, we discuss the bizarre mainstream pivot toward 9/11 skepticism and how those once labeled “fringe” are suddenly finding their narratives validated — but without acknowledgement or accountability from the establishment that smeared them. James unpacks the psychology of gaslighting, the legacy media’s shifting tactics, and why this moment matters for independent media.

We also dive into the Trump administration’s creeping technocratic police state, how legacy outlets like Mother Jones and shady ops like PropOrNot tried to silence voices like ours and James’s, and what we can do to keep the truth from being weaponized all over again.

This is a white-pill conversation for those who’ve spent years pushing back against official lies — and a warning for those tempted to let their guard down now that the liars are “letting us be right.”

In this eye-opening second appearance on The Free Thought Project Podcast, Xander Arena returns to deliver one of the most in-depth breakdowns of 9/11 Pentagon inconsistencies we’ve heard yet. Joined by Jason and Matt, Xander walks through a detailed report that challenges the official narrative — not with speculation, but with documented evidence, physics, and logic.

The conversation centers around the lack of physical evidence that a commercial jet struck the Pentagon, a claim supported not only by eyewitness contradictions and forensic inconsistencies, but by artificial intelligence itself. As Xander reveals, he used Elon Musk’s Grok AI to analyze publicly available evidence — and even Grok concluded that there is insufficient proof a plane hit the Pentagon.

Even more striking: before reaching that conclusion, Grok admitted it was programmed to avoid the topic entirely unless referencing mainstream-approved sources — an admission that underscores just how deeply controlled public discourse around 9/11 remains.

This episode is also available in video format, as Xander shares important visuals and documentation that back his claims — making it a must-watch as well as a must-listen.

While The Free Thought Project does not claim to endorse any one theory or outcome, we believe the relentless pursuit of truth is essential — especially when the government has proven time and again that it is anything but transparent. As we’ve done with previous guests like Richard Gage of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, we proudly offer this platform to truth seekers like Xander who are doing the work mainstream media refuses to do.

With thousands of lives lost and decades of war justified by this event, the public deserves real answers — not automated propaganda.

Tune in for an eye-opening exploration that encourages critical thinking and questions the narrative we’ve been told about 9/11. (Length: 1:19:54)

In this episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Jason and Matt sit down for the fifth time with the fearless Maj Toure — founder of Black Guns Matter, activist, and unflinching defender of self-ownership and liberty. Maj has been a frontline voice in educating urban communities about firearm rights, personal responsibility, and breaking free from the mental traps set by the state.

We begin by diving headfirst into the tragic and polarizing killing of Austin Metcalf, a story that has rapidly become a flashpoint for racial division and tribal rage. This case — and the instant emotional reactions it sparked across social media — serves as a perfect microcosm of a much bigger problem. Together, we unpack how these incidents are weaponized to inflame divisions, and how both sides of the manufactured culture war are being expertly manipulated.

Maj brings fire to the conversation, offering powerful analogies and razor-sharp insights on how the establishment exploits fear and emotion to keep us divided and distracted. While the conversation veers into some dark territory, with Maj bluntly laying out his concerns about complacency and mass mental slavery, it’s a necessary reality check for anyone paying attention to the growing unrest.
