Ep. 236: Does the Covid Cult Deserve Amnesty? with Vin Armani

My guest this week is Vin Armani, also known as Cyprian. We are discussing the theme in an article written by Emily Oster in the Atlantic. In the article, she pleads for amnesty on behalf of the Covid regime, for all of the evil they pushed onto society. Masks, jabs, lockdowns, firings, ostracization, a caste system, apartheid, death, and more were all from these people in the name of "safety". Should forgiveness even be considered for these people? If so, under what parameters should we conside...

Ep. 235: Western Materialism, Modernity, and the Age of Information, with Adam Patrick

My guest on this episode of Counterflow is Adam Patrick. Adam was the host of the now defunct "Y'er Talkin Over Me" podcast and is now launching "The Age of Information" podcast. His goal is to move the discussions past just "government bad, freedom good" and start to look at the larger battle taking place. In this chat, we discuss the way we view religion and spirituality in the Western world vs. how it was viewed in the East for thousands of years. The Western mindset often informs our thinkin...

Ep. 234: Is the Jab a Bioweapon? With William Ramsey

My guest this week is author, reporter, lawyer, and filmmaker William Ramsey. He runs the great podcast "William Ramsey Investigates", where he's been doing a multipart series called "Bioweapon Blues", where he is reporting on the possibility of the COVID vaccine being a bioweapon. What are his points to back this up? Why does he think this? We do a good dive into this topic, and I think you'll find his analysis intriguing if not downright scary. For more from William Ramsey, go here: https://ww...

Ep. 233: Sinister Psychosis and the Remembrance of God, with Fr Zecharia Lynch

My guest this week is Father Zecharia Lynch, an Orthodox Christian Priest and a very good writer at the Inkless Pen blog, as well as outlets like Death to the World and Patristic Faith. We are discussing many of the themes in his article, "Sinister Psychosis and the Remembrance of God". 2020 and 2021 gave us a lot of evil, and our love of comfort and safety was used to impart much of the evil. Why is this happening to us now? Where are we in spiritual warfare, and how do the tactics of the Evil ...

Ep. 232: Russia, WW3, NATO, and Israel, with Jim Jatras

My guest this week is Jim Jatras. Jim is a former US Diplomat, lawyer, and senior foreign policy advisor to the US Senate GOP leadership. We discuss the reality of what is going on between Russia and Ukraine and what impact it could have on the rest of the world. Might we be on the brink of nuclear war? And for many decades, the impact on US policy that Israel has is very out of proportion. Why is this? There are a segment of people in the US who believe Israel is a Holy Land. There are some Chr...

Ep. 231: The Global Food War and the Beef Initiative, with Texas Slim

My guest this week is Texas Slim of the Beef Initiative. The Beef Initiative is a trade group focused on decentralizing and making our food supply more localized, redundant, and secure, as well as improving the quality of our food through pure animal protein and sound money, which is a critical input to achieving food security. We discuss the global food war, the transnational corporations that wish to disallow your access to animal protein, what their vision of YOUR food intake is, decentralize...

Ep. 230: Will the Federal Reserve Take Down Klaus Schwab? with Tom Luongo

My guest this week is the main man at Gold, Goats, and Guns: none other than Tom Luongo. Tom has a very well thought out and unique analysis of the markets as they relate to current geopolitics. We often talk about one-world government and global elites. However, we can't lose sight of the fact that, even within the global elite groups, there are many competing factions. Tom sees the folks that control the Federal Reserve as being against those with the World Economic Forum. In this discussion, ...

Ep. 228: Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation, with Rachel Wilson

My guest this week is Rachel Wilson, author of the book, "Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation". Rachel and I discuss the themes in her book which tie the current feminist movement as well as the first wave of feminism to its occultist roots. We are so enveloped by feminist ideology that we don't even recognize it at this point. Young girls are raised in it, HR rooms are drenched in it, and even most middle-age women promote it in some way. By design, it's been a disaster fo...

Ep. 227: The Ethics of Beauty, with Dr. Timothy Patitsas

My guest this week is the author of the wonderful book, "The Ethics of Beauty". The original task of Ethics was to guide us to the most just and meaningful life possible. Today, ethicists define their discipline more narrowly, as "the rational investigation of morality." This reduces Ethics to the examination of the Good by the True, tacitly suppressing the deep human need for the Beautiful. In this book, Dr. Pattisas covers many topics related to this, including trauma, war, gender ideology, an...

Ep. 226: The Regime Will Crumble Soon. Then What? with Charles Haywood

My guest today is the Maximum Leader over at the Worthy House, Charles Haywood. Charles and I discuss the current regime, the future, young people, and how to navigate it all. Charles believes the current social and political structures will not be around much longer. What are we to do to prepare for a post-liberal America? What about young people? Will universities still be a thing in 10 years? Could getting a degree hurt your chances for employment? What about young people interested in joinin...

Ep. 225: The Empire Has No Clothes, with Charlie Robinson

Charlie Robinson is back with us this week. We talk about a few different yet possibly related topics. I have been emphasizing for a while now that we are in an "emperor has no clothes" moment in America. More and more people are starting to see the illegitimacy of the American Empire and Regime. Their propaganda is becoming more absurd, their elites are becoming less impressive, and the writing is on the wall -- this simply won't continue much longer, and it will completely fall apart. We discu...

Ep. 224: New World Order Plans, with Courtenay Turner

My guest this week is the host of the Courtenay Turner Podcast, and from that, you have probably already guessed her name. Courtenay is well versed in global power structures, the NWO, transhumanism and the ruling elite, among other things. She is here to help us dive into all of those topics. Plus, what were her awakening moments over 2020? When did she realize that what "they" were telling us about a certain sickness were not true? We get into all of this and more. Find Courtenay's work here: ...

Ep. 223: Corporations, Government, and the Total State, with Auron MacIntyre

This week, I've got Auron MacIntyre on the show to bring his refreshing and nuanced perspective on government, society, and power structures. Auron writes often about what he calls the "Total State". For decades, conservatives and right-wing folks have defended corporations and focused more on attacking the State. After 2020, many are starting to realize that there may be less of a hard line between those entities. When corporations and government are as intertwined as they are, we are dealing w...

Ep. 222: Powers and Principalities, with Father Turbo Qualls

This week is Part 2 of my discussion with Father Turbo Qualls. After we finished episode 217 with Fr Turbo, he and I decided we needed to talk again ASAP, and many of you let me know that you were eager to hear him on the show again. So this week, he and I got into the topic of "powers and principalities". Many of us see evil going on in this world and understand that there are forces behind the figureheads in government and corporations, but we sometimes have a hard time understanding just what...

Ep. 221: Mass Shootings and the World Liberalism Made, with Katherine Dee

This week, my guest Katherine Dee and I discuss a couple of the topics that she has tackled in her writings over at her Default Friend blog. We discuss what she sees as a sexual counterrevolution coming our way. Katherine writes, "If there's one drum I've been beating for a minute now, it's that I believe the pendulum with sexuality is going to swing, big time. And seriously, if you guys remember me for anything, have it be this." We dive right into that, and I think it helps bridge us to our di...

Ep. 220: Globalization and the Apocalypse, with GM Davis

GM Davis joins me this week for the lighthearted topics of the Antichrist, the apocalypse, and globalization. He wrote a very good book on this called, "Antichrist: The Fulfillment of Globalization". We get into world history, Church history, central banks, the events that changed the course of history, and where we may be headed next. In this interview, as in the book, you will learn that gnosticism has reared its head many times and is partially at the root of much of the evil that folks have ...

Ep. 219: The Evil Nature of Woke Culture, with Noelle Mering

My guest this week is Noelle Mering, author of the book, Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressivism . The Woke phenomenon has been covered on this show before, but not in the more well-rounded manner in which we cover it in this episode. Noelle and I discuss the tenets of Wokeism, but we also get into the darker, more evil aspects of it as we talk about the spiritual warfare at play here. On the surface, the folks we would call "woke" may seem like people we can laugh at a...

Ep. 218: The Makings of the NPC, with David Patrick Harry

My guest this week is the brilliant and entertaining David Patrick Harry from Church of the Eternal Logos. David and I discuss the makeup and theology of the NPC, that is, the non-playable character. NPCs are all around us, and you likely have friends, coworkers, and family members who are NPCs. It's one thing to just poke fun at them and laugh, but we more so get into what forces are behind the perpetuation of the NPC, the danger they pose, and why this is happening. When one is an empty vessel...

Ep. 217: It Takes Humility to Understand What's Happening, with Father Turbo Qualls

In one of my favorite conversations ever, I had Father Turbo Qualls on the show. Fr. Turbo is the rector at St. Mary of Egypt, Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City, Missouri, where he lives with his wife Juliana and their 8 children. As a (now retired) tattoo artist and former member of a punk rock band, Fr. Turbo grew up in Orange County, California, in the counterculture scene. That gave him a perspective that he carried through his libertarian political views and even into his Orthodox Chri...

Ep. 216: The Implications of the ESG Score, with Tommy Salmons

My guest this week is the host of the Year Zero podcast and writer/content producer at the Libertarian Institute, Tommy Salmons. Tommy wrote a nice piece on ESG Scoring and what all it entails. He and I delve into this topic, and he explains it in a way that is easy to follow. The implications of the ESG system will be painful to many of us and will be felt for a long time if something isn't done to stop it soon. Let this be your one stop shop for a total understanding of the ESG system, and def...

Monica is very adept at discerning what is propaganda an...

Ep. 214: The Most Canceled Man in America, with Jason Rink

Jason Rink is back on the show this week. Jason is a documentary filmmaker whose many recent works are deemed too controversial by many in the Libertarian world. His newest documentary is on Nick Fuentes and was set to show at a libertarian film festival, but they canceled the film and the discussion panel about the film. In a painful twist of irony, he was offered to be on a panel discussing the topic of cancel culture. We also discuss the latest show trial on the events of January 6th, as Jaso...

My guest is writer, online marketing pro, and Director of Marketing at Allsides.com, Julie Mastrine. Julie has a heck of a story, and as we detail it, she brings to light many of the supposed "truths" we are taught about left-wing politics, New Age spirituality, and feminism. She was deep into all of those and had enough awareness to realize that it's all completely nihilistic and antithetical to true happiness. She discusses what lessons she learned along the way to being a productive, happy, a...

Today we are discussing the phenomenon that is plaguing societies across the West: miserable women and cowardly men. He writes: "As a society, we have allowed this group to define our current social norms." Why is this happening? Which came first? Is it by design? We also get into young people and the fact that often, they do not know how to communicate...
