NewsReal: It's Armageddon! Iran Strikes Israel, World Trembles
April 14, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBNah, not really. Although, that's what they'd all LIKE you to believe. Trust us, you'll know Armageddon is here when it actually happens, and you won't need the media to tell you so. Following Israel's barbaric attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus two weeks ago, Israel and its Western stooges have practically goaded Iran into 'taking revenge' (while warning its government to 'keep it proportionate'). This finally happened last night, and both sides are claiming 'victory' from it. In...
NewsReal: Moscow Terror Attack Mars Putin's Landslide Victory
March 24, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MB...but it won't change the outcome of the war. 133 dead civilians mowed down at a concert in Moscow by 4 Tajik gunmen-for-hire. Who paid them? Western media is sure they were 'ISIS', yet they were caught trying to escape to Ukraine. And that this occurred amidst increasing strikes and counter-strikes between Ukraine and Russia, the true motive for this atrocity is clear: to unsettle Russia and provoke Putin into escalating and/or deviating from 'the SMO plan' to demilitarize Ukraine. Also in...
MindMatters: Arthur Versluis: The Neo-Gnostics vs. Pathocracy
March 23, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBNeo-gnosticism without Gnosis. Gnosis without neo-gnosticism. These are just a couple of the frameworks, dichotomies, and strains of gnosticism making their way into the religious, social, and political consciousness and conversation of today's world through literature, film, and other media. In this follow-up discussion with author and scholar Arthur Versluis, we continue our discussion on his Oxford University Press-published book 'American Gnosis: Political Religion And Transcendence.' We...
NewsReal: C'est la guerre! Macron wants direct war with Russia
March 10, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 76.8 MBBiden's aggressive, hopped-up 'State of the Union' speech inadvertently revealed the state of the American union: fatally fractured. With 10 million migrants pouring into the US during his term, in service of stuffing the ballot boxes and packing the military, this desperate 'Late Rome' attempt to maintain the political status quo in perpetuity is destined to fail. The unanimous self-delusion two years ago that Ukraine was going to 'defeat' Russia has given way to bitter acknowledgment that...
MindMatters: It's Full of Life: Philosophy of ET with Andrew Davis
March 08, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBAstrophilosophy. Exotheology. Whitehead. Andrew Davis is the program director for the Center for Process Studies. A philosopher and theologian, his latest work is on the metaphysics of exo-life. Today on MindMatters we discuss his work on science, religion, and what the impact of the discovery of ET life would mean for philosophy, and a general philosophical framework that would make sense of it. We also discuss the opening up of public and academic interest in the topic of UFOs and...
NewsReal: How Serious Are Western Leaders About Going to War With Russia?
March 03, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 82.3 MBWe heard last week that some EU leaders, notably French president Macron, want to send Western armed forces into Ukraine in order to 'stop Russia from winning'. We know that their armed forces ARE already in Ukraine, but the implication of recent fighting-talk is that they're considering escalating the current 'proxy war' to 'the next level'. How serious ARE Western leaders about doing this? They sound convinced that there is no other way, but are they just 'posturing'? We may soon find out...
NewsReal: Ukraine War 2-Year Anniversary: The West is Still Losing
February 25, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBFollowing their breakthrough in Avdeyevka outside Donetsk city, the Russians are advancing on multiple points along the contact line in territory formerly known as Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelensky continues whining about insufficient funds and weapons, despite bleeding Western armories and treasuries dry. As we pass the two-year mark since Russia stunned the world with its lightning-quick assault deep in to Ukraine, existential desperation is seeping from every pore of Western leadership. Also in...
MindMatters: The Woke Psychopathology Taxonomy with David Abramowitz
February 19, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 119 MBDavid Abramowitz joins us once again, this time to discuss Michael Shellenberger and Peter Boghossian's Taxonomy of Woke Psychopathology. With Andrew Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology as inspiration, the taxonomy summarizes how certain Woke topics and causes express Cluster B personality disorder dynamics. While the topics themselves may not be pathological, the manner in which they're presented is, expressing such features as attention-seeking, grandiosity, emotional dysregulation, excess...
NewsReal: Western Obsession With Russia: Carlson's Putin Interview, Navalny's Death and the Ukraine War Racket
February 18, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 74 MBWell over a billion views later, the Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin has been overshadowed in global media coverage by the sudden death this week of Russian political opposition figure Alexey Navalny, and the US 'national security leak' about... Russian space nukes? Meanwhile, the Russian military captured the Ukrainian military stronghold of Avdeevka outside the city of Donetsk, sending Western governments into deeper delirium about 'sending more billion$' and 'signing eternal...
NewsReal: USA's Terrorist Proxy War Substitute For Actual War Against Iran
February 04, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MBOn Friday night the US military says it fired 125 missiles at 85 targets in Iraq and Syria in 'retaliation' for 'Iranian-backed militias' firing a drone at a US base in Jordan and killing three American soldiers. Why didn't Russian air defenses in Syria attempt to block the US airstrikes? Why did the Jordanian government initially deny any base in its country had been hit? What are these 'Iran-backed militias'? And will this escalate into direct war between major world powers? This week on...
NewsReal: ICJ Orders Israel to Prevent Genocide, West Responds by Slashing Aid to Gaza
January 28, 2024 00:00 - 2 hours - 83.4 MBYou have to hand it to Israel. In the space of 24 hours it diverted international media focus from the ICJ's ruling that it 'must prevent genocide' and 'allow humanitarian aid into Gaza' into a de facto Western blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza by alleging that the UN agency working to keep Gazans alive was 'involved in the terror attacks of October 7th' - a decision that is going to cause famine and disease, forcing Gazans to die or flee. Also on this NewsReal, Joe & Niall discuss...
NewsReal: Raindrops Before The Storm? Multiple Mid-East Countries Fire Missiles at Each Other
January 21, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBSo many Mid-East countries have carried out missile strikes against each other of late, it's becoming hard to track them all... Just last week, Iran fired at Pakistan, Pakistan fired back, Israel fired at Lebanon, Iran fired at Syria, Iraqi militias fired at a US airbase in Iraq, Jordan fired at Syria, and the US-UK fired at Yemen. Is this just 'temporary tensions' playing themselves out? Or raindrops before an almighty storm? Gazans, meanwhile, continue dying in droves as Israel's 'final...
NewsReal: What Really Happened to Lloyd Austin, And What Were Jews Doing in Those Tunnels?
January 14, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 81.8 MBThis NewsReal opens with a closer look at the official line that US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has been out of the public eye for several weeks due to "hospitalization for a urinary tract infection arising from previously undisclosed surgery for prostate cancer" - supposedly without telling anyone, not even the White House! Second major topic: what in the name of God were those Jews doing 'tunneling' under their own world HQ of the Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch sect in Brooklyn? Also,...
MindMatters: Dark Matter Monsters and the Sociology of the Paranormal with Dr. Simeon Hein
January 08, 2024 00:00 - 2 hours - 173 MBLet's face it. Bigfoot is real. The only question is, what is it? With now thousands of credible encounters that would be difficult to ignore or dismiss, we know many individuals have also observed a host of seemingly paranormal phenomena that quite often accompany these large strange creatures. Orbs, ball lightening, strange smells, space-time anomalies, electromagnetic fluctuations; not to mention witnessing these cryptids moving at super-fast speeds, and morphing into different forms;...
NewsReal: Nobody's 'Saving' Gaza, But Israel Can't 'Win' Anyway
January 07, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 65 MBStrong earthquakes in Japan, more Israeli war crimes and terrorism, and 'aliens' in downtown Miami - 2024's off to a rocky start! Joe and Niall are back with another NewsReal, opening with the freak-out over '8-foot-tall aliens' allegedly sighted at a mall in Miami on New Year's Eve, and ending on the return to news cycle of the Mossad-Epstein child-sex-blackmail operation. The bulk of this show, however, discusses the latest developments in the Middle East: Israel's ongoing atrocities...
MindMatters: From Archons to the Matrix: Understanding American Gnosis with Arthur Versluis
December 29, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 118 MBThe ancient idea of spiritual gnosis has evolved and branched to reflect the time and place in which we live. Nowhere is this development more evident than in the writings and scholarship of author Arthur Versluis. In his groundbreaking new book American Gnosis: Political Religion and Transcendence, Versluis takes an in-depth look at the varieties of modern 'neo-gnosticism.' These include cosmological gnosticism - the worldly effort to escape from archons of darkness or hostile beings that...
NewsReal: NewsReal: Civil Disobedience in Ireland, Rebuilding Gaza (For Israelis), Russia to (re-)Take Kiev?
December 17, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBIn this final NewsReal of 2023, Joe and Niall bring you on a whirlwind global bird's-eye view of recent events, with updates on the popular resistance against directed mass migration in Ireland, Russia's path to victory over NATO proxy forces in Ukraine, the ever-darker horrors of Israeli war crimes in Gaza, and the farcical pantomime that was 'COP28'. And there's so much more to look forward to in 2024: more wars, more disputed elections, and probable global economic FUBAR. It's Clown...
NewsReal: Livid at Russian Victory in Ukraine, Anglo-Americans Facilitate Israeli Genocide of Palestinians
December 10, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBRussia's success in absorbing everything NATO and the Kiev regime has thrown at its military defenses in the newly-acquired regions is now all but confirmed in Western capitals. Though they lament that "Putin's victory is terrifying," they nonetheless acknowledge that Russia has won. The US government may yet extend the war with further weapons dumps in Ukraine, but Washington knows this won't substantially change anything. Meanwhile, American weapons are pouring into Israel, where they're...
NewsReal: Dublin Riot, Mass Migration, and Israel's Final Solution
November 26, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBThis past week saw election victories for 'right-wing populists' in two Western countries, a premeditated mass stabbing by a Muslim migrant in Ireland which prompted a 'far-right' riot, and ongoing genocide in Gaza bringing the death toll to 20,000 Palestinians. On this NewsReal, Joe and Niall provide context for the worst rioting seen in Ireland's capital in a generation, note the obnoxiously pro-Israel stances of Argentina's new leader Javier Milei, and the Netherlands' (likely) new...
MindMatters: Psychedelics, Sobriety, and Altered States: Processing Reality with John Buchanan
November 20, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 138 MBWhat do altered states tell us about the nature of consciousness? And what can philosophy tell us about altered states? John Buchanan has spent his life trying to find the answers. His book, Processing Reality: Finding Meaning in Death, Psychedelics, and Sobriety, details the story of his history of experimentation and addiction, his path to sobriety, and the insights he has gained into the nature of human experience and consciousness. A synthesis of Whitehead's process philosophy and Grof's...
NewsReal: Why is Israel's War Against Palestinians 'Existential' for the West?
November 19, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBIsrael's mission in Gaza is now clear: to push all Palestinians out of the Strip and on to either Egypt or elsewhere. This has produced unprecedented tension in the region, tension that will surely express itself elsewhere in due course. In the meantime, Western governments' total support for Israel remains unchanged. This week on NewsReal, Joe and Niall explore the various weird mythologies used to justify a patently inhuman strategy of giving Israel whatever it wants, a strategy that is...
NewsReal: Ukraine War Ends, Mid-East War Begins? Why America is Shifting Gears
November 05, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBAnglo-American legacy media this week "quietly" announced an "end" to the Ukraine War, informing - correctly, for the first time since February 2022 - Western audiences that Kiev doesn't stand a chance militarily against Russia, that Zelensky is "deluded" and "messianic" about recovering the four provinces lost to Russia, and that American and European leaders have begun pushing him to enter negotiations with Moscow. So, peace on Earth?! Given current events in the Middle East, not least the...
MindMatters: Five MYTHS about Evil: Setting the Record Straight with David Abramowitz
November 03, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MBAre all psychopaths serial killers? Is authoritarianism only found on the political right? Are we all equally capable of evil? Does power really corrupt absolutely? And is evil really "banal"? Join us today as we discuss the biggest myths about evil with David Abramowitz, the nature of psychopaths and ponerology, and how McGilchrist's brain-hemisphere research fits into the picture. David Abramowitz has a background in finance and accounting, but an experience with a psychopath set him on a...
NewsReal: Israel and US Implementing 'Final Solutions' to Palestinians and Multipolar World
October 29, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBLast week the American 'president', Joe Biden, gave a TV address in which he declared that he was sending half of America's sea power to 'protect Israel', part of Washington's plan to usher in a "new, new world order." While it's scarily obvious what Israel's attempting to do - ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank of Palestinians - it's not so obvious what the USA is trying to do. This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall sketch how 'Armageddon' might play out in the coming months, with...
NewsReal: Israel-Palestine War: Apocalypse Now?
October 15, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBLast week's multi-site terror attack in southern Israel, and Israel's aerial bombardment of Gaza in response, have divided public opinion like never before. In this NewsReal Joe and Niall again explain why it's extremely unlikely that Israeli security services were caught by surprise, and speculate as to the motives of a 'fifth column' for provoking this almighty maelstrom of hatred and vengeance. * Starts at 03:12 * Running Time: 01:31:38 Download: MP3 — 62.9 MB
NewsReal: Hamas 'Invasion' of Israel: Surprise or LIHOP?
October 08, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBHamas' surprise 'breakout' of the Gaza Strip 'prison' into multiple settlements across southern Israel has pushed the Ukraine War off the news and divided public opinion like never before. Many are joining the Israeli regime in calling for Gaza to be 'levelled', and Israel is formally 'at war' with the Palestinian statelet. But could Hamas really have taken the mighty Israeli Defense Forces by complete surprise? Israel's military and hi-tech surveillance capabilities are world-renowned, and...
NewsReal: Are Top Western Generals Being Killed in Ukraine?
September 25, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBThere have been rumors of senior NATO commanders (i.e., colonels and majors) being either captured or killed in action in Ukraine ever since the siege of Mariupol liberated that city from the notorious neo-Nazi 'Azov Battalion' in May 2022. At the time, Russian-language media cited Russian soldiers on the front-line claiming that they had encountered in the bowels of the 'Azovstal' industrial zone a number of high-level, active-duty, military personnel from the US, Canada, France, the UK and...
NewsReal: Branded: UK Govt Launches Coordinated Attack on British 'Rogan'
September 17, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBPopular online commentator Russell Brand is the latest truth-speaker to feel the wrath of totalitarian corporate media executives and global government institutions. Revealing the fruits of a "years-long, in-depth investigation" into everything Brand has ever said or done, British legacy media gatekeepers have unearthed four women they allege were "raped or emotionally abused" by the ex-celebrity. On the back of this, it seems, they hope to either induce Brand into shutting up and/or losing...
NewsReal: Ukraine Uber Alles: Endless Copium as Russia Holds The Line
September 10, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBThe Ukrainian counter-offensive is clearly not moving anywhere, yet it's still 'full-steam ahead' for the Western imperialists' 'total war on Russia'. And they're winning, but only in their own minds. In the real world, the G20 summit in India this week confirms that the Global South/East is not following the West into its Grand Delusion. As the Ukraine/NATO-Russia War grinds on, omens mount of coming major turmoil, not least the rash of record rainfall bringing flash-flooding the world over...
NewsReal: Gabon Coup: ANOTHER French 'Former' Colony Breaks Free
September 03, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBThe extraordinary sequence of military coups continues in West Africa, where the small but resource-rich country of Gabon last week overthrew its pro-French 'neo-colonialist' puppet regime of 55 years. What does this all mean? Are these coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Gabon all coordinated? If so, what might Russia or China have to do with them? Will this development affect mass migration to the West? Will NATO intervene to 'protect democracy' in the region? Joe and Niall bring some...
NewsReal: That Mugshot, 'Wild'-Fires, BRICS+, Putin Offs Prigozhin?
August 27, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBThe latest 'indictment' against Donald Trump for what amounts to Crimes Against The Regime has produced a 'mugshot' that symbolizes the biggest political 'own goal' yet for the Democratic Party. Seriously, what the heck are they even thinking?! Trump's even popular in the hood now! Meanwhile, in Russia, Yevgeny Prigozhin is no more: he appears to have been shot/blown out of the sky outside Moscow, ending a half-year of bizarre and politically dangerous antics from the ex-owner of Wagner PMC....
NewsReal: Hawaii Wildfire Tragedy: Man-Made or Natural Disaster?
August 14, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 79.9 MBThe tragic wildfire in Lahaina, Hawaii, this week has killed around 100 people, spurring intensified discourse around 'climate change', land (mis)management and so-called 'directed-energy weapons'. What is most likely to have caused this fire? Its timing, so soon after the propaganda onslaught about 'global boiling', seems a mite coincidental. But first up, Joe and Niall discuss the 'bombshell revelation' that Barack Obama once wrote to an ex-girlfriend about having homosexual proclivities....
MindMatters: Gurdjieff and the Inner Evolution of Man - with Alan Francis
August 04, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 121 MBDo human beings have 'higher bodies'? Is there an essence or essential part of one's being that individuals can consciously help to grow? And what does the development of the personality have to do with these possibilities? Philosopher and teacher G.I. Gurdjieff presented the world with an esoteric framework for self-development that has been carried forward by a number of thinkers. What does esoteric growth look and feel like? What are some of the processes involved? And how does one go...
NewsReal: UN 'Era of Global Boiling Begins' - US Congress Normalizes UFOs
July 30, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBForget "global warming," we are now "in the era of global boiling," said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres last week, citing 'the science'. What crack are Western leaders smoking? It's been a relatively COOL summer - at least in Europe - so far this year! In the first hour of this NewsReal, Joe and Niall plumb the depths of Western lunacy regarding the weather, followed by a discussion of the latest anti-colonial, pro-Russia coup in central Africa. Running Time: 01:37:00 Download: MP3 —...
NewsReal: As Ukraine Counter-Offensive Fails, Putin Warns Warsaw
July 23, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBThe NATO-backed Ukrainian 'counter-offensive' to break through Russian defensive lines in southern Ukraine (now claimed by Russia) is still - two months in - going nowhere fast. Last week the Ukrainians targeted the Kerch Bridge - again - ending the 'grain deal' and shutting down Ukrainian access to the Black Sea. Putin, confident the offensive has been a complete failure, claims it has cost the lives of over 26,000 Ukrainian and foreign mercenaries. He is also 'exposing' Polish designs on...
MindMatters: Cold-blooded Kindess: The Longhouse Mentality and Psychopathology - with Dr. J.D. Haltigan
July 21, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBJ.D. Haltigan is a developmental and evolutionary psychologist who writes the Multilevel Mailer on Substack. His research and writing focuses on psychopathology, social media-induced mental illness in the young, and the psychological phenomena underlying Woke ideology and the culture wars. Lately he has been writing about the negative effects of traits like compassion and empathy when not balanced and held in check by trait systematization. J.D. has also written a review of Andrew...
MindMatters: Unmasking Psychopaths and Narcissists in Business and Politics - with Dr. Clive Boddy
July 14, 2023 00:00 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBClive Boddy is Associate Professor of Management at Anglia Ruskin University, a leading researcher in the field of corporate psychopathy, and author of the book 'A Climate Of Fear: Stone Cold Psychopaths At Work'. Today on MindMatters, we interview Clive about his research, why psychopaths do not make good leaders (despite claims to the contrary), how they contribute to employee job satisfaction, and how toxic leadership intersects with incompetent leadership. Once a taboo subject, corporate...
NewsReal: France Rises - NATO Escalates Ukraine War - Climate Hysteria Spikes
July 09, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBRemember last week's breathless hot takes on how 'France has fallen'? Well, the urban riots have ended, and you won't believe how: local drug-lords simply called them off, reminding Joe and Niall of the links between the criminal underworld and jihadi-terrorist networks, which are known to overlap via Western intelligence connections. Meanwhile, NATO heads of state are gathering on Russia's border to plot 'full-scale ground war' against the 'rogue state'. Are these people serious? Probably...
NewsReal: Wagner Mutiny, French Révolution
July 02, 2023 00:00 - 2 hours - 93.9 MBOh mon Dieu! France - nay, all Europe - is about to fall! Or so the screamers say. In this NewsReal, Joe and Niall take a calmer look at the riots in France, and last week's high-octane events in Russia. First hour: Prigozhin is a snake, and why Putin had to make an example out of him. Second hour: the root cause of France's riots is a six-decades-long 'African-French' problem that is insoluble - save a miraculous paradigm shift in Western elites' worldview. Running Time: 02:16:46 Download:...
NewsReal: Trump Indicted, Again - Ukrainian 'Counter-Offensive' Fail
June 18, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 70.4 MBThey're really going for it. The regime wants to knock the electorate's favorite to become the next president of the US out of the race. Last week's indictment of Donald Trump in a Florida court for '37 charges of mishandling top secret government documents' are patently trumped-up charges intended to negatively impact his re-election bid - perhaps by rendering his candidacy 'invalid'. Meanwhile, the Anglo-American 'Ukrainian counter-offensive' attempt to break through Russian military...
MindMatters: The Unbroken Individual Is the True Source of Moral Responsibility
June 16, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBThis week on MindMatters we take a third and final look at the prescient and resounding thoughts of Ernst Jünger's The Forest Passage and reflect on what it means - in the philosophical and practical sense - to be a forest walker, or forest rebel. For our previous episodes on the book see: Part 1: MindMatters: Freedom in Tyranny: Ernst Jünger's The Forest PassagePart 2: MindMatters: The Road Best Traveled: Ernst Jünger's Forest PassageHow one resists and chooses to respond to totalitarianism...
NewsReal: The Great Ukrainian Counter-Offensive Commenceth! Oh, And The US Govt Has Alien Tech
June 11, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBFinally, the dam has broken in Ukraine. Literally and figuratively. Heralded by the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on the Dnieper River, the much-vaunted Great Ukrainian Counter-Offensive to 'boot the Rooskies from sovereign Ukraine' is underway, and it's almost certainly going to end in the fall of the US puppet regime in Kiev. Also in this NewsReal: the 7-year-long 'Deep State vs Trump' saga continues with the indictment of Trump over 'mishandled Top secret documents'. Will Trump go to...
MindMatters: The Road Best Traveled: Ernst Jünger's Forest Passage
June 03, 2023 00:00 - 1 hourWhat is freedom? Where may it be found and accessed? How does it become actualized from within the individual? And if we are to become free - then what are we to be free from? In this second discussion of Ernst Jünger's seminal book The Forest Passage we follow along with the author's many thoughts on what it means to be free. Concerning political bodies, the media, institutionalized medicine, and organized religion - what, if any, is the most fruitful approach to take in response to their...
NewsReal: Ukraine Warlord Lindsey Graham: 'Best Money US Ever Spent'
May 28, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBWith British and American cruise missiles, shells, and drones currently hitting Russian residential areas on a daily basis, US Senator Lindsey Graham visited Kiev to reassure Zelensky that "the Ukraine war was the best money the US ever spent because we get to kill Russians!" Is this the 'Ukrainian counter-offensive' they're all talking about: outright terrorism against the civilian Russian population? Completely ignoring last week's victory of Russian forces over NATO in Bakhmut, Western...
MindMatters: Women Who Love Psychopaths - A Retrospective and Introspective with Sandra Brown
May 22, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 88.8 MBPsychotherapist, educator, researcher, and author of the books Women Who Love Psychopaths, How to Spot a Dangerous Man, and many others, Sandra L. Brown's insights have helped many face - and heal from - the damage inflicted by psychopaths and the personality disordered. Expanding on her work as a therapist and author, Sandra Brown has developed the training for thousands of therapists who now understand, and are better able to treat, cognitive dissonance, PTSD, and the neurocognitive damage...
NewsReal: Bakhmut Holds! Patriots Down Kinzhals! West Winning Bigly!
May 21, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBSadly, none of the above claims of Western media are even remotely true, but it doesn't stop said media from repeating them ad nauseum. In this week's NewsReal, Joe and Niall discuss the fall/liberation of Bakhmut/Artemovsk, the torrent of misinformation about which American and Russian missiles did what in Ukraine last week, the tardy release of the Durham investigative report into 'Russiagate', and assorted 'weapons of mass distraction' designed to keep you ignorant and afraid. Running...
MindMatters: Freedom in Tyranny: Ernst Jünger's The Forest Passage
May 15, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 92.8 MB1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, The Gulag Archipelago - there are many great books on 20th-century totalitarianism. But few of them have the power and poetry of Ernst Jünger's 1951 The Forest Passage. Both a man of his time - and ahead of his time - the German-born Jünger was not only a staunch but careful critic of tyranny; he could see through the "soft power" manipulations of much subtler forms of centralized oppression as well. And call it out for exactly what it was. Given...
NewsReal: NATO Weapons Go Boom, British Missiles Strike Russia - Ukraine War Escalates
May 14, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBThe NATO vs Russia proxy war in Ukraine recently escalated a notch or two, with simultaneous 'Ukrainian' airstrikes downing two modern Russian fighter jets and two helicopters... well inside 'Russia proper'. This came the day after British-supplied, longer-range, cruise missiles struck the city of Lugansk, and hours after Russian airstrikes obliterated another huge store of NATO supplies for Ukraine's much-vaunted 'counter-offensive'. This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall discuss the latest...
NewsReal: Kremlin Drone Strike Signals Next Phase in Ukraine War?
May 07, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBThings aren't looking good for the Russian 'SMO' in Ukraine. Increasingly bold sabotage attacks by the Ukrainians last week, together with the almighty row kicked off by Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin about official Russian military support for his mercenary army (and the apparent lack thereof), do not augur well for Russian success against the coming 'Ukrainian counter-offensive' to drive them back beyond the Sea of Azov. Is it all just 'optics' though? Does Russia just look weak, while...
MindMatters: "It Was Always Illegal": Grant Smith on Army Mandates, Resisting the Machine & Exercise for Health
May 06, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 152 MBGrant Smith is a US Army Physical Therapist and author of the "H2F Man" and "Radical American Mind" blogs. He also co-hosts the 5th Gen Leadership and Tonic Seven podcasts. Today we discuss his experiences during plague times - the hypocrisy and delusion he saw in the armed services' policies and actions, and how he successfully resisted the pressures and managed to keep his job - why he joined the Army in the first place, and how he found a place within it that aligned with his values and...
