This week Ryan Christian of The Last American Vagabond joins me for a frank discussion about the consequences of big tech censorship and where it leads us as a society and what some of the potential solutions are, including the promise of the blockchain.I relish the opportunity to formalize connections with folks whose work and passion for their calling I respect and Ryan certainly fits that bill.

This week I have the great pleasure of catching up with Alistair Crooke, owner of Conflicts Forum, and regular contributor at Strategic Culture Foundation. Mr. Crooke was previously on the podcast in Episode #19 more than a year ago. A lot has changed since then and he brings his wealth of real information about the Middle East to our discussion of the big game playing out of the world stage.

This Week I sit down with Cornell University professor and all around gadfly David Collum for a classic 'Get-to-Know-You' session where two data-driven, science-trained guys try to parse the conflicting narratives surrounding everything from election fraud, to the threat to the U.S. posed by China, Europe and our own governments.We explore both of our journeys through the haze of Climate Change, the history of the data manipulations and why we're now at a precipice of one of the darkest periods in human history.

This week I sit down with investigative journalist Patrick Henningsen of 21st Century Wire to discuss the conundrums that are would-be tech oligarchs Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Elon Musk of SpaceX/Tesla to try and figure out what their real plans are for profiting off the space race that is just now taking shape.Bezos shocked the world with his announcement of his stepping down as CEO of Amazon and the question is did he do this to focus on his space company Blue Origins. Patrick and I explore that within the context of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset and how that impacts decisions being made by Russia and China.Show Notes:What Jeff Bezos' Resignation as Amazon CEO is Really Abouthttps://21stcenturywire.com/2021/02/07/what-jeff-bezos-resignation-as-amazon-ceo-is-really-about/Question: What Exactly Are the Politics of Jeff Bezos?https://21stcenturywire.com/2019/08/24/question-what-exactly-are-the-politics-of-jeff-bezos/

Trial Lawyer and fierce critic of all things woke, Robert Barnes joins me this week to discuss the best way to go after the big Tech firms for their over-application of their Terms of Service, why Section #230 is a trap for conservatives and free speech advocates and how AOC just torpedoed her chances of every being taken seriously outside her 3% echo chamber on Twitter.Show Notes:Barnes and Frei on Localsvivabarneslaw.locals.comBig Tech's Purge is Just Beginning....

The world is now completely different post-Trump and post-Capitol Assault. The incoming Biden Administration will use this event, which unnerved them greatly, to justify an insane ramping up of power. This week I sit down with the brilliant Alexander Mercouris of The Duran (www.theduran.com) to discuss the ramifications of this post-Trump, post-Coup United States.From Europe's role in these events to the backlash the European Union is facing from he Coronapocalypse, Alex and I go through a number of hot button and long-simmering problems now facing the increasingly decrepit Joe Biden and his cabinet of crazies and neoconservatives.We even look at how Russia will use its political stability and foresight on cryptocurrency legislation to benefit itself greatly as the EU and the US duke it out for control of the West.Show Notes:The Duran -- www.theduran.comLuongo - Russia Wins Oil War With Saudi Arabiahttps://tomluongo.me/2021/01/08/market-friday-saudi-arabia-loses-oil-war-russian-bear/Previous podcasts with Alex:Episode #28https://www.spreaker.com/episode/24925071Episode #16https://www.spreaker.com/episode/21819619

I fielded questions from my Patrons on any number of subjects and with the help of Guest Host Jay Fratt, the Conservative Hippie, we answered them and a few others. From cultural issues to monetary policy and the big picture on cryptocurrencies and bitcoin, we give voice to what I think is the most wise and interesting audience in the world, validating he entire Gold Goats 'n Guns community.Thank you all for the questions and thank you Jay for the time. This show was recorded the Monday (1/4) before the dramatic events at the capitol. So, there is no discussion of that. I will put my thoughts together on that in the very near future.Show Notes:The Conservative Hippie Podcast:https://www.theconservativehippie.comEpicCashhttps://epic.techDecred:https:/www.decred.orgWaves:https://waveplatform.ioGold Goats n' Guns on Patreonhttp://www.patreon.com/goldgoatsnguns

I don't think anyone would disagree that 2020 was a difficult year. 2021, in my view, will be worse along a number of vectors. This week I give you 7 predictions, some specific, some general, about where we are headed and why.Bottom line watch the crypto-space carefully and for politicians to have eyes in the backs of their heads.Show Notes:Donate to the podcast via crypto:BTC: 3GSkAe8PhENyMWQb7orjtnJK9VX8mMf7ZfBCH: qq9pvwq26d8fjfk0f6k5mmnn09vzkmeh3sffxd6rytDCR: DsV2x4kJ4gWCPSpHmS4czbLz2fJNqms78oEDASH: XjWQKXJuxYzaNV6WMC4zhuQ43uBw8mN4VaXMR: 48Whbhyg8TNXiNV2LNkjeuJJU55CNt5m1XDtP3jWZK2xf5GNsbU2ZwHLDJTQ5oTU3uaJPN8oQooRpSQ2CPMJvX8pVTqthmu

With the electoral college casting their votes today and Joe Biden declaring himself President, I sat down with former diplomat and adviser to the GOP Senate Jim Jatras to get some distance from the ins and outs of the election wrangling and project into the future regardless of who is inaugurated on January 20th.Jim's insights into the bigger picture, both spiritual and pragmatic, are certainly valuable and a great addition to the discussion of the great civilizational struggle occurring across the world today.It's always a great pleasure to sit down and talk with people whose work and life experience I respect and admire. Without further ado.Show Notes:Jim Jatras at Strategic Culture Foundationhttps://www.strategic-culture.org/contributors/james-george-jatras/

This week I had the great pleasure of sitting down to a chat with James Howard Kunstler author of more than twenty books including The Long Emergency, The Geography of Nowhere, and the World Made by Hand series of four novels set in post economic crash small town America. We cover a wide range of issues surrounding the election fraud of 2020, the hypocrisy of the COVID-19 crisis and how the forces of decentralization will overwhelm the the planned Great Reset of human society by the World Economic Forum and their well-placed toadies in our governments.Show Notes:Kunstler: De-Growth Will Define How We Live In The Futurehttps://www.theamericanconservative.com/urbs/de-growth-will-define-how-we-live-in-the-future/See his work over at www.kunstler.comLuongo:The Great White MOPE of American Politicshttps://tomluongo.me/2020/11/16/great-white-mope-american-politics/
