199: THE 'BRO VET' INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX - The Curious Case of Tim Kennedy with Projekt Atlas
Joining Nathan for a more journalistic episode, Daryl from Projekt Atlas is on the show to break down the full extent of the Tim Kennedy controversy and how Global War on Terror recruiting propaganda enabled a generation of “Bro Vet” grifters. Daryl gets into Tim’s inconsistencies in podcast, article and TV interviews on injuries and resulting awards such as the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Silver Star, the growth of SOF worship as a recruitment tool through the Global War on Terror and it’s consequences, just how dangerous Kennedy’s interference during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal truly was, and exploiting and disrespecting the dead. The lads also get into current active investigations into Tim Kennedy’s alleged stolen valor, Kennedy’s political connections to the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth and President Trump, the possible internal protection he is receiving from consequences from the U.S. Military, and much more in this deep dive on Tim’s shady stories.CHECK OUT OUR GUEST:Bad news, Projekt Atlas was seemingly banned, if he comes back, we will update this link to his page! https://www.instagram.com/projektatlasRAADS Autism Test:https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/Check out PP.TF here:https://pptaskforce.comwww.instagram.com/pptaskforce.est23/Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! https://www.patreon.com/CBRNArtCheck out our sponsors: Qore Performance Cooling / Heating / Hydration for Plate Carriers and Chest Rigs:For 10% off, use Code: ARTANDWAR10https://www.qoreperformance.comCloud Defensive / Chad Defensive Rifle / EDC Lights:For 10% off site wide, that stacks with any Cloud Defensive sales, use Code: ARTANDWAR10https://clouddefensive.comAttorneys for Freedom - Attorneys on Retainer Program, sign up via this link to support the show:https://attorneysonretainer.us/artandwar Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at AWSin.com Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff:https://link.space/@CBRNartFollow the lads on IG: Nathan / Main Page: https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en B.R: https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarchLucas: https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/ Phil: https://www.instagram.com/philmxengland/

198: The Shooting of Charlie Kirk
Nathan, B.R, and Phil the camera guy get together to discuss the assassination of Turning Point USA Founder, Charlie Kirk. The lads talk about the extreme divide the shooting has put Americans through, how some on the right is putting Charlie on a pedestal as a hero to some on the left dancing on his grave while making comments joking about harm coming to his family and the fallout of these extremes. The guys also discuss the weird circumstances around Kirk’s death, from the old man claiming he was the shooter to the local airplane taking off 40 minutes after the shooting and turning off it’s transponder, Charlie’s shifting opinions on Israel in the short time before his death, and Trump being the one to publicly announce Kirk’s death to the world. Also covered is the trickling in information across the internet in the moments after the shooting, the situation in Nepal, the dangers of getting sucked into the national anxiety and misery following the shooting, the weird ‘hex’ an online magazine put on Charlie Kirk and much more!This episode features no ad placements as we feel this topic was important for us to cover, but not to monetize in any way.Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff:https://link.space/@CBRNartFollow the lads on IG: Nathan / Main Page: https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en B.R: https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarchLucas: https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/ Phil: https://www.instagram.com/philmxengland/

192: The Air Force 'Sig-cident' - Zero Days Since Last PR Disaster
This week, Nathan and B.R discuss the latest 'Sig-cident' involving an Sig P320 / M18 handgun, with this particular uncommanded discharge resulting in the death of a U.S. Airman station in Wyoming.

Also discussed: The 'Tim-cident', AKA, Tim Kennedy publicly apologizing for lying about receiving the Bronze Star for Valor and the years of inflating his service record publicly and to his own profit and the implications of this and how American hero worship continues to create those who tell exaggerated and embellished tales of war for their own gain.On a more casual note, B.R celebrates carving out two acres for himself and achieving a small slice of the 'American dream' in Appalachia, and Nathan attempts to explain Death Stranding and Kojima to B.R. All that, and much more!All information discussed is open source and available to anyone with an internet connection, documents can be found below for reference and independent assessment.Any legal action pursued due to this episode will be met with more memes. :)SIG INTEL REPORT:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ozkb5vouKqtVeHxGBtRJ5z9BVlHMF6k4Uf3gsnLe9Zc/edit?invite=CPu87poP&tab=t.hdaevbdop0sfSIG P320 US I.C.E.
