Truth Detective

Do you belong to a group of like-minded individuals? Maybe, perhaps, it's a club that is enlightening and fun? That can be great. A Jeep Wrangler group is fantastic for me but no matter who you are or where you live there's a group of like-minded individuals waiting to share lighthearted experiences with you...is it a motorcycle group, a book group, a sewing group? Take your pick according to your interests and passions. I call these gatherings and meetings, extra-curricular groups with extra-curricular activities. These groups don't take you away from the true meaning of life...joy, laughter, fun, self-development, being with family, friends, and the people you care most about. They allow for your own authenticity and autonomy to stay intact.  But do you belong to a group that allows thoughts of a negative nature? And does that group have questionable deeds, and actions that aren't so desirable in today's socio-political climate? Fighting, rioting, protesting? Perhaps it's a group or club that might secretly look down upon you or others you know which will, in turn, dissolve your self-esteem and deplete you entirely. The groups I talk about in this episode are definitely in the news and have been for a few years now. Here's a look back in history to when the KKK was extremely popular, and then I move on to quick summaries of the more well-known groups... Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Qanon, and the Alt-Right. These groups may be, selling you something they're not... just to get new members to belong. And the leader tells individuals their well-intentioned program or agenda is a must for the betterment of the country and the whole world. And soon enough after the first couple of meetings, that hatred, and divisiveness ensues. You say to yourself, 'That's not who I really am.' No group of any kind that has to convince you to do anything that makes you feel peer-pressure and  stereo-types you has your best interests at heart. I promise you. It's true. A group of people that have a hankering to treat you and others really badly only cares about one thing. And, unfortunately, it is not you. It's themselves and their agenda. And now here's the caveat. Everyone here in America has the right to think anything they want and to do anything they want with their own time, even these hate groups and people that despise you and what you really believe in and stand for are afforded these rights. Choose wisely, be kind, be smart, don't blindly follow, but rather lead by example and always ask questions. That's when the real truth comes out. And most of all try your very best to walk away when you meet these challenging individuals head-on because these far-left and far-right groups don't give up, they don't give in and they are here to stay.

Do you believe you're being brainwashed? Nowadays, I think we all are in one way or another. But not to worry. Your Truth Detective is on the case. Learn with me how to know when you may be vulnerable to brainwashing. The steps to brainwashing are not complex at all. As a matter of fact, all a brainwasher has to do is know a small amount of psychology to begin the process.

1. Isolation
2. An attack on self-esteem
3. Us vs. Them mentality
4. Blind obedience
5. And ongoing indoctrination, testing, and repetition to keep you brainwashed.

Then there's the exploration of what being a "follower" is. In the end, the word sheep or "sheeple" comes to mind when we talk about "followers". And after I go down the list on "Do this if you want to be a "sheeple", I ask you to ignore everything I said to do and then do the exact opposite. After all, you are smart and don't fall for these tactics, right? That's the way to real freedom. It's all good. Whatever you decide to do, or say or think is fantastic and it's in the constitution's 1st amendment - freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest is our right as Americans. Don't forget that! We have all the freedom to say and do whatever we want.

Totalitarian regimes. What a disheartening, demoralizing, and hard way to live. Starvation, lack of work, and the persecution of anyone who protests are what life is like for these unfortunate people. The leaders of these countries (I use North Korea as an example) have nothing but selfish and greedy intentions. These countries treat humans as chattel and will execute anyone that doesn't abide by the rules of the dictator. It's a sad truth. Think about the freedoms we have here in America; the best country in the world. And how we ultimately can't afford to lose our rights and liberties. After all, we have the constitution that puts the citizens first. It clearly states the government works for us, not the other way around.  Be proud and feel fortunate we were born in a country that is definitely flawed in some ways but ultimately cares about the citizens.  Until next time keep questioning everything! That's when the real truth comes out.

Critical race theory is coming to a country near you. Well, not really because it's actually here right now. It's a sad realization. It will divide and do its very best to conquer. And it doesn't have a happy ending. Quite the contrary. There is no happy ending in the land of CRT where racism, white privilege, the oppressors, the oppressed, and  "wokeness" live.  Critical race theory (CRT, for short) is taking over our nation fast in the most insidious ways. The schools, private companies, federal agencies, and the military all have components of CRT.  In 2021, an already trying year for us all, this is the last thing America needs right now. Say goodbye to proficiency in education, caring about people of all races, and non-judgemental experiences throughout your day.  Is this the start of a real Marxist society or have we been watching it little by little creep upon us while we were asleep at the wheel? I think so and I think we've all had enough. We have had enough of the so-called authority along with the government telling some people that they are no good because of the color of their skin, whatever it may be, and that we are not created equal. Did you know that? Hmmm...  Let's have that conversation about CRT. When you know what critical race theory is you will be empowered with the conviction of what's right and what's wrong. It's your choice what to think. You already know what I think. With that superpower of knowledge, you can talk, debate, and be civil to everybody with no negativity in your conversation. You will then be able to do the best thing ever... use your critical thinking skills to question, learn more, go further, take action, and make important decisions that will set you free. Use my urgent "Call-To-Action" bullet points at the end of the episode to make great changes. Blow up CRT and make it a thing of the past. Taking action has always been the best way to successful results. And now is no different.  Question Everything!

Do you know what the "Big Lie" is? So many people don't know or have never heard about the "Big Lie". But it's all around us. And it's been around since the 1930s. Simply put, the "Big Lie" is a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth. Period. We all see the big lie in our lives, on TV news, social media, conversations with friends and family. It's everywhere in today's culture. And we believe it because people in power and authority tell us to.  Understand what the "Big Lie" is and you will have better conversations, respond with knowledge-based facts, have great debates, clear your brain of the fog and misinformation, and so much more.  The "Big Lie" is real, it is true, and it's a great thing to know about. You will become more aware of society, culture, people, and events. And better still, you will become more aware of how you feel about what's true and what's a "Big Lie".

As I watch culture, society, the nation, and the world rapidly change every single day, I see the need to change the Talk, Tales, and Trivia podcast.   The new name is, Truth Detective. And I am your very own truth detective. I will be uncovering the good, the bad, and the ugly...researching, and questioning everything about culture, society, people, places, our justice system, and corruption in private corporations and government agencies. I will leave no stone unturned. I will bring you feel-good cases discovered and uncovered that have happy endings, but also the sometimes controversial or seemingly conspiratorial topics. I will be giving you the straight facts and evidence... peeling back the truth about topics that get very little, if any, media attention or have not yet been, for some reason, talked about. These topics might leave you asking questions and wanting to know more. It’s great to ask questions. QUESTION EVERYTHING because that’s when the real truth comes out. The evidence is there. The facts and possible solutions are obvious. And I will be giving call-to-actions that you can take away from every episode. Be a part of the Truth Detective movement.

Do you know what keto means? It's not a new thing... it has more than just a few elements to it that have been around forever but it was in the 1990's it came into popularity.  Learn the facts and benefits of converting to a healthy organic keto-eating lifestyle that will change your way of thinking and your body. Healthy, cleaner and better outcomes are headed your way with the keto lifestyle. Keto done correctly does take tenacity, willpower, dedication, and the knowledge that will benefit you in all areas of your life. A couple of years ago it saved me from a life that was unhappy and unhealthy. I was headed toward a life that did not promote health and well-being. And one day I woke up sick and tired of being sick and tired. It's easy once you know the "secret sauce" and bonus you don't feel like you are giving up anything. Those favorite foods that you once thought you could not live without, are no longer an issue. I hope you enjoy this episode and look for the next episode on another key component to a healthy lifestyle.  Healthy Keto & Intermittent Fasting - A Simple Overview by Dr. Eric Berg - https://amzn.to/3z5atz1 Body Macro Calculator - Ratios for your own body type - Fats/Protein/Carbs https://www.ketoconnect.net/calculator/ Dr. Berg - YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/drericberg123 Dr. Sten Ekberg - YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/drekberg Thomas DeLauer - YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTdelauer Ketogenic Diet - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet If you love the content you may consider buying me a cup of coffee!  Go to: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/stephlee Get up to speed on some interesting and enlightening facts about our society, culture, pop culture, history, and a smidgen of trivia.

Have you been getting enough sun in your life lately? I would bet probably not as much as you normally would but that's going to change after this episode because I talk about the benefits of the golden sun. The sun will nourish you on all fronts. That fireball in the sky truly is astounding. And if you don't have a lot of time to spend outdoors on warm spring and summer days, then just grab a bit of time, 15-20 minutes during lunch, or take a quick walk with Fido in the early morning or late afternoon.  Did you know that the sun also produces good old vitamin D and it has a variety of health benefits that you can also get as a supplement? If you are that busy person that can't spend the time outdoors to get this wonderful miracle of life then I have great news for you here as well. And, of course, the episode wouldn't be complete without my very own cautionary tale about the sun because May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. I wrap the episode by pivoting a bit but not to worry. I will end the episode on a sunny note. I hope you enjoy this episode! Thanks for listening.
