Counterflow with Buck Johnson

This week, friend of the show and all around badass Charles Haywood is back on the show. Charles is the Maximum Leader over at the WorthyHouse.com and the founder of the applied political philosophy of Foundationalism. He is a member of Generation X. His views are right-wing with a future-oriented, post-liberal bent. He does not belong to any existing political party. In this discussion , we dive into just how weak the regime is now and what is to come once it crumbles. We get into the circulation of the elites, what a weak regime looks like, what comes next, the process in which this all happens, Elon Musk, Biden, Trump, Vivek, and more.

My home state of Texas and our governor have been making headlines as we pushback against the Federal Government and their attempts to open our borders to a mass invasion. My guests this week are both well versed in law, constitutional issues, American politics, and history. They are also both Orthodox Christians. In this episode, we detail what exactly is happening in Texas, what this fight represents, broadly speaking, as well as the specifics here in Texas. Is this a step towards Texas secession? What happens if the Federal Government pushes back and things heat up? Is TEXIT a legitimate answer? How weak has the federal regime become? We discuss all of this and more on this episode of Counterflow.

This week, a bright young Gen Z man on the political right joins me. He goes by the name J Burden, and his Substack and YouTube channel are both superb. There's a lot of complaining about younger people by Gen X-ers like myself. This will give you some optimism. Whereas quality seems to have eluded much of the millennial generation, there may be hope for Gen Z. In this discussion, we get into the change in the social and political tide we are witnessing. The regime is starting to crumble beneath the weight of its propaganda, bloat, and very real capability crisis. There's a counter-elite rising up, and we discuss what that looks like. We also get into the parallels with boomers and millennials and contrast those with the Gen X and Gen Z parallels.

This week, Isaac Weishaupt joins us to discuss all things conspiracy, occult, and Orthodoxy. From Isaac's bio: "Hello, my name is Isaac Weishaupt and I'm the founder of IlluminatiWatcher.com. I've been researching my entire life as an ongoing mission to determine if this reality is the truth or a cunning holographic deception. I don't fully subscribe to any conspiracy theories, but I do find some intriguing if they resonate with any logic (also if they don't; who am I kidding, some of them are just clever). I live in America and feel that a lot of people are more concerned with being entertained than being informed or educated. Our media reflects that." Isaac was great to chat with, and I know you'll love this discussion.

This week, my friend and your friend, Cyprian, a.k.a. Vin Armani, is back with us. We discuss what 2023 represented and what is to come in 2024.

My guest this week is Hank Hanegraaff, widely known as the Bible Answer Man. Widely regarded as one of the world's leading Christian authors and apologists, Hank is deeply committed to equipping Christians to be so familiar with truth that when counterfeits loom on the horizon, they recognize them instantaneously. Through his live call-in radio broadcast, Hank equips Christians to mine the Bible for all its wealth and answers questions on the basis of careful research and sound reasoning. Through the Hank Unplugged podcast, he interviews today's most significant Christian leaders, apologists, and thinkers. In this episode, we delve into his journey to Orthodoxy and how his deep research and study of the Bible, in a way, lead him there. We also get into the very real dangers of Zionism, misconceptions on the Book of Revelation, the rapture, the Scofield reference Bible, and more. This one is not to be missed!

This week on the show, we have the fellas from the Kingpilled podcast, Matt Erickson and Cooper Brooks. They have been doing some wonderful episodes analyzing the various generations. In this one, we break down the similarities between the boomer and millennial generations and then the Gen X and Gen Z generations. Matt and Cooper discuss the spirit that runs through each generation and how it affects not only their generation but the others as well. This topic is so helpful in analyzing so many aspects of culture and politics.

Today, Father John Peck returns to the show. Fr. John contributed a number of articles for the Orthodox Study Bible and commentary on the Old Testament books of Hosea, Song of Songs, and III Maccabees (perhaps the first Orthodox commentary for this book in existence). He founded Journey To Orthodoxy for helping those inquiring into and seeking contacts within the Orthodox Church and assisting heterodox pastors in their transition to Orthodoxy. He also launched Good Guys Wear Black, a website designed to help men who are discerning a vocation in the Orthodox Church. Fr. John teaches a class on the myths and truths around Christmas. Today, we dive into many of these. With the rise of social media, there's been a ton of bad theology, inaccurate history, pop culture Pagan takes, and just way too much misinformation about Christmas. Was it Pagan? Why December 25th? Can we know when Christ was born? We get into all of this and more. Plus: What might 2024 bring us? More insanity and lies from the regime. We get into that as well! Fr.

This week, a man with a true eye for beauty in art and architecture joins me. Andrew Gould is an artisan and designer specializing in traditional buildings and liturgical art. Andrew has designed dozens of new buildings, renovations, and custom liturgical furnishings. His practice is based in Charleston, South Carolina, and his residential and commercial work is focused within the Charleston Historic District. When designing churches and liturgical art, Andrew works in the Eastern Orthodox traditions (Byzantine and Russian), and his work can be found throughout North America and beyond. We discuss the awful state of ugly modern architecture and how it relates to our souls. When did we lose beauty and love in regards to art and architecture? Do some architects purposely make things evil and ugly? Are beautiful old style buildings too expensive to build these days? Andrew also discusses the importance of making American Orthodox Churches not only beautiful but respectful to and of the local culture. Should we put a strictly Russian-looking Church in the heart of a southern state like South Carolina? We get into all of this and more.
