Kontrarian Korner #161 - Charles Spadille
<p>Yesterday I had Charles Spadille on the podcast again for a conversation on the state of men and women and how to fix it. We talked about how these issues always seem to flare up in the public consciousness ahead of political elections, the Cornell 7 coverage and how certain female behaviors have become more obvious in recent years, and why men and women are better together than they are apart. You can find Charles on Twitter and Telegram (@whiskeyandashes), and it sounds like he will soon be on Substack as well. </p><p><p>If you want to get...
Kontrarian Korner #160 - John Polomny
<p>Yesterday I had John Polomny back on the podcast to talk about where things stand in markets, current events, and the path forward for the US and the West. He laid out his thoughts on where we are in the market cycle, where he sees opportunities, and the investment bubble in technology. We also talked about some of the different societal breakdowns in the West, including sports gambling and prediction markets, the midterm sideshow, and why we are watching the early stages of World War III.

The CIA Files - Part 23
<p>Yesterday the Colonel was back for Part 23 of the CIA Files. We finished up talking about Operation Condor in South America in the late 60s and early 70s. This week we covered Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, and Costa Rica. She laid out the motivations of major corporations in shaping CIA involvement in different countries in that period, the Colony of Dignity, and drug trafficking and human trafficking operations. We also made some comparisons to today, how people need to be held accountable, and how some of the different actions show up on the home front. You can find the Colonel...
Kontrarian Korner #159 - E.M. Burlingame
<p>Yesterday I had E.M. Burlingame back on the podcast to talk about his new project, The Forge Accelerator. He has built a custom AI model and his goal is to help men improve their ability to think for themselves. We talked about the importance of critical thinking, why it isn’t taught in the education system, and the importance of being grounded in reality. If you’re interested in hearing why critical thinking ability is going to be one of the most important skills over the next couple decades, you will enjoy this one. You can find EM on S...
The CIA Files - Part 22
<p>Yesterday the Colonel was back for Part 22 of the CIA Files. This week we were setting the stage for Operation Condor in South America. She talked about the different operations in Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, and the activities of the CIA in the late 60s and early 70s, and how it ties in with different business interests. We also talked a bit about how the operations in South America are a little bit of a preview for events in the US like Waco and Ruby Ridge. You can find the Colonel on Twitter, Rumble, YouTube, and...
Kontrarian Korner #158 - Mark Mitchell
<p>Yesterday I had Mark Mitchell of The Honest Poll back on the podcast to discuss the upcoming midterms, current events, and the ongoing civil war inside the conservative establishment. He laid out his polls and research on what he expects for the midterms, and why it won’t be pretty for Republicans, along with his thoughts on institutional decay, the generational divide when it comes to politics and economic policy, and why we could get an American Caesar in the next decade. Mark is a very entertaining follow on Twitter, but you can also find him on YouTube and on...
Kontrarian Korner #157 - Dr. Jeremy Heffner & E.M. Burlingame
<p>On Friday I had Dr. Jeremy Heffner and E.M. Burlingame on the podcast for another great conversation. It was the perfect follow up to our first conversation, and we got into the broken medical and insurance world, the different medications like birth control and SSRIs that have had a dramatic impact on men and women over the last several decades, and other philosophical questions that the West will have to face in coming years. You can find Jeremy on Twitter, and his book on his website, Proof Of The Impossible, and on Linkedin. You can find E.M.’s...
Kontrarian Korner #156 - Ron Dodson
<p>Yesterday I had Ronald Dodson back on the podcast to talk about current events, the conservative movement, and the setup for the midterms.

If you’re interested in geopolitics or the state of the American right, you will enjoy this one.

Kontrarian Korner #155 - Mike Green
<p>Yesterday I had Mike Green on the podcast for the first time. We talked about how passive investing has changed financial markets, specifically how these changes have started to play a bigger role in bond markets. He also laid out how 3x levered ETFs and other forms of leverage (Situational Awareness) have exaggerated moves in financial markets. From there we detoured into wealth concentration, the need for political change, and why he thinks we are probably headed for a more authoritarian future. This was a great conversation, and if you somehow haven’t come across Mike’s work, you can...
The CIA Files - Part 21
<p>Yesterday the Colonel was back for Part 21 of the CIA Files. We got to the second half of talking about the attack on the USS Liberty, specifically what happened after the attack. She explained why it was obviously intentional and how the cover-up went to the highest levels of the government, and why they still won’t open up the files. We also added some additional color on the attack itself, but if you want to dig into one of the most important false flags in US history, you will enjoy this one. You can find the Colonel on Tw...
