I have said very little about the elections this year other than covering the attempt on Trumps life in PA because frankly it needed covering. Today we look at the election though because it will be effecting all of us one way or another. I will also ask you this, are libertarians incapable of winning? Not as in “can they win” rather can they “accept winning” in any small way or are they incurably autistic as a group? Join Me Today to Discuss… What are my predictions for the election Trump wins in a big electoral college margin Republicans increase … Continue reading →

Today CJ Kilmer returns to TSPC to talk about how and why the Soviet Union collapse along with the lessons the US and its Western Partners failed to learn from it. Born & raised a Florida Man, CJ Killmer holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Flagler College and a master’s degree in history from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He taught college history from 2006 to 2022.

This week is going to be kind of dark in topics over all.  Tomorrow in an Unloose the Goose Reunion show, Nicole Sauce, CJ Kilmer, John Bush and I will discuss what is coming with the election and civil unrest and more no matter who wins.  The Wednesday CJ returns solo to talk about the USSR’s collapse in the 80s-90s and how it corrulates to the current situation in the US. So today I figured we should discuss something more optimistic and came up with this show topic idea.  Today we discuss 12 decentralized technologies we can use right now … Continue reading →

Retired Air Force Colonel and former Intelligence Officer, Drew, holds a PhD in Operations Research from Harvard University and served in the Senior Executive Service at the Pentagon.

I have been on some level a systems thinker for most of my life, some components of it are just natural to me.  I would honestly say on the base level it is simply how I think.  When I was 17 I joined the Army and chose the path of being a Heavy Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic and learned systemic trouble shooting, which gave me a formal concept of “systems thinking”, however, I didn’t yet even know the term. In my early days of attempting to build a career I had a lot of friction with people I worked for.  I … Continue reading →
