The Hawaiian spirit and the culture of Ohana is still alive, despite the failure of others. Rest in peace our friends. Originally recorded 8/27/23 #maui #transmissionlines #ohana

Matt and Mike discuss Alex Jones, Sandy Hook, and the Supreme Court ruling that can potentially open up an appeal for the Sandy Hook settlement. This is likely our most contraversial episode but has substantial importance given Donald Trump being charged on similar charges. Trump fans think Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is evil despite him giving Trump the opportunity to defend his positions in court. This binary decision (evil or hero) is unintellectual and an unfortunate nature of current soci...

We rise, to the sky, like the fires that burned our ancestors. The Corpses of...

In addition President Biden may have the worst understanding of what a burner phone is meant for, in the history of telecommunications....

Our prior episode on this the day of the "coup" was not allowed to publish. The people in Western countries need to get better "experts" unless their pure goal is to create non-sense and misinformation. It's become clear that peace was never the intent or strategy for the US and EU/NATO coalition. One point not discussed is that Russia now has a convient ground attack point via the Belarus position if they decide to move of Kyiv.
