Ep. 123 - Why Nobody Cares About UFOs or Hantavirus

Ep. 126 - Mind Control and the War on Consciousness with Jacob Johnson | Part 1

In part 1 of a 2-part episode series, we sit down with Jacob Johnson, host of Rise to Liberty podcast, independent researcher, and former Utah House candidate to explore the hidden forces shaping modern society. What began as a journey into liberty-minded politics evolved into a deep investigation of propaganda, psychological operations, government corruption, and the influence of intelligence agencies. We discuss why local politics are far more important than Washington, D.C., how community involvement has collapsed across America, and why some believe the greatest examples of corruption are happening not in Congress, but quite close to home. The conversation takes a turn as we examine declassified programs such as MKUltra, Operation Paperclip, and Project Mockingbird. We explore what these programs reveal about government-sponsored behavioral research, the history of propaganda in America, and whether the techniques developed decades ago could still influence society today. Along the way, we discuss Manchurian Candidate theories, hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), psychological conditioning, and the growing debate surrounding surveillance technologies, brain-computer interfaces, and modern information warfare.

Ep. 125 - The Great American Land Grab - Solar Farms, Data Centers, Carbon Pipelines, and Geoengineering

We've talked about Agenda 2030 quite a bit. This week, we consider that the deadline is fast approaching and the countless changes we have already seen because of it. By 2030, the big story may not just be energy or technology itself, but the scale of land conversion behind it. Across solar farms, data centers, forest management, critical minerals, carbon pipelines, and weather modification, millions of acres are being targeted, reshaped, or put under new forms of control. Solar alone already covers hundreds of thousands of acres nationally, with some estimates putting farmland converted for solar at roughly 550,000 to 600,000 acres, and projections going much higher as buildout expands. Data centers are spreading even faster in development terms: more than 1,500 are planned nationwide, many in rural regions, and average site sizes are around 224 acres, with some hyperscale projects reaching far beyond that. What ties all of this together is the way land is being repurposed for large systems that are described as necessary for clean energy, digital growth, climate resilience, or national security. But on the ground, that often means farmland, forests, and open space are being absorbed into industrial infrastructure, while local communities worry about eminent domain, water use, habitat loss, public health, and loss of control. In that sense, the central question for 2030 is not just whether the projects succeed, but how much land they collectively consume and who ends up bearing the cost of that transformation.

Ep. 123 - Why Nobody Cares About UFOs or Hantavirus

This week we're talking about what appears to be the endless stream of distractions. While we care little about the recent release of the UAP/UFO files or the rodent-spread Hantavirus making its way through the newsfeed, we think it's important to consider WHY these things are currently being discussed at length in the media. Meanwhile, the Epstein survivors are testifying underoath, and from the mainstream? Crickets. We spend some time reminiscing on the efforts of our ancestors in the Revolutionary era in what has come to be known as the Pine Tree Riot. This type of bold defiance is exactly what is necessary to right the course we have found ourselves in. Stay vigilant.
