My take on what the hell is going on with the CAF. I think we've got some serious issues and ideologies that have captured the minds of the generals and leadership that rule the institution. This is not good and it's tearing us apart and the result is highly skilled and selfless folks saying, fuck it and retiring. The soul of the Forces is in tatters and that's 100% on the leadership and I explain why, in this episode. 

LCol (ret'd) Stuart Scheller blew up the internet last year when he decided to publicly criticize his Marine Corps chain of command in a Facebook video; while in uniform! 

As you can imagine, the internet exploded. 

Stuart has been called every name in the book, lost his family, lost his career, and been thrown in the brig but has always stuck to his message that there needs to be accountability for military failures at the highest level. 

He's a principled guy and has written a great book called, "Crisis of Command". We met up in Las Vegas to chat about it at the Military Influencer Conference and shoot the shit about his time fighting terrorists and what his next moves are professionally.

Dr. Tim Shaw is a philosopher and creator of the Great Philosophical Problems Think Tank. His main focus is on moral injury and how it relates to military veterans. 

The fascinating thing about his research is that it's tied to Friedreich Nietzche's work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Likely, you haven't heard of this monumental piece of Western literature but I hope this episode compels you do seek it out. It is the underpinning of our entire modern culture and provides a road map to becoming the "Ubermensch" or superman that transcends God. 

From his website:

"Our mission is to provide of a unifying definition, and accompanying phenomenology, for the construct of Moral Injury to address suicide in veteran and wider civilian populations. Like the social lexicons provided by traumatic stress nomenclature, we set out to provide the “Moral Grammar” for what has come to be understood as the “Signature Wound” of contemporary war."

Dr. Kelly Starrett is back on the podcast and it's a banger! The big picture here is that the current medical establishment is not in the business of keeping you healthy. They are there to treat medical emergencies and we need to look at them as victims of the medical establishment. 

I wanted to chat a lot about kids and how to keep them healthy and active. He created an interesting foundation called Standup Kids to get standing desks into schools and this hits home now that one of my kids is in school. 

Ultimately, Kelly wants to instruct the next generation on how to manage pain, on their own, without having to seek medical attention. This would have a monumental impact on the healthcare system and allow doctors to genuinely treat serious ailments.

Stay tuned till the end and find out some common fixes to runners' knee pain and back spasms during exercise.

James Topp is a Canadian Armed Forces Member with a distinguished 28 year Reg Force career, Afghan war veteran and member of the Canadian Public Service. 

Earlier this year, James decided he'd had enough with the Federal government's vaccine mandates and draconian decries that forced Canadians to take a medical intervention that they didn't want or face loss of employment access to civil life and worst of all, suspension of civil rights. 

He began raising awareness of how damaging these federal mandates were to himself and his fellow citizens by walking across Canada. 

His organization calls for an end to vaccine mandates or requirements for COVID tests, quarantines or isolation, reinstatement of people who lost jobs because of mandates and compensation for them, and a ban on lockdowns.

I joined up with him on the podcast today to chat about how he feels about Canada's recent mandate policies and what he hopes to accomplish with his march.

It's official! The federal government in Canada lied about travel mandates and never had any scientific evidence to back it up. 

Find out more regarding this bombshell of a revelation by reporter Rupa Subramanya's article here.

If you're a hard working Canadian like myself and were really apalled by the vitriol coming from our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, regarding COVID-19 vaccine skepticism, you have all the vindication that this was all just a political game and not about saving lives.

Let's give the benefit of the doubt to the government; they were attempting to save lives.

Before embarking on restricting our civil rights to protect the lives of Canadians, shouldn't the process have been heavily vetted against the actual science, which would include more opinions than just that of our Public Health department? Therefore providing a cost vs benefit analysis of imposing such a monumental policy.

It wasn't done.
