About THE NOMADISTAN PEOPLES NEWS

Welcome to The Nomadistan People’s News – your most trusted source of truth as approved by the Ministry of Glorious Messaging and Supervised Reality. Here in the internationally unrecognized but spiritually undeniable nation-state of Nomadistan, we’ve done the unthinkable: we’ve taken the world’s worst ideas—borders, billionaires, bureaucrats—and done our best to improve on them using only optimism, satire, and recycled propaganda posters. From the Wayward Mind of Rick Higgins https://rickhiggins.com

The BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL - It’s Not Just Public Land Grabs

What if we told you the United States is planning to sell the air you breathe? In this special Nomadistan Investigates report, we uncover a trove of leaked memos detailing secret plans to privatize public lands, lakes, even oxygen. Based on the article:Public Land Grabs? Wanna Know What’s Next?https://2ndhalfmastery.substack.com/p/public-land-grabs-wanna-know-whatsLifestyle Video: (Coming Soon!)OFFICIAL SITE FOR NOMADISTAN NEWS AND INFORMATIONhttps://nomadistannews.comThis video contains state-approved entertainment designed to keep you joyfully uninformed while pretending you’re engaged in civic life. Issued directly by the Ministry of Distraction, these videos feature parades of progress, ceremonial nonsense, and occasional wisdom disguised as satire.Remember: If you’re laughing, you’re not revolting.Carry on, Citizen.Wanna Support All That We Do?🎉 PATREON - https://beverageswithrick.com☕ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://buymeacoffee.com/rickhigginsThis is obviously (I say obviously because someone won't get the obviousness), a satire on world current events. I don't believe that the endless echo chamber "debates" that only seem to serve shareholder value are doing much to start meaningful change towards reason and sanity. So Nomadistan is our example. Struggles, mistakes, but always with the goal of people in mind, not profit.If you'd like to play along, please comment early and often, but keep it kind and civil. Because my other strong belief is that no one moves forward by bullying others into submission.POLITICS, SATIRE, CULTURE, LIFE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, TRUMP, PUBLIC LANDSThis episode of Nomadistan Investigates dives deep into a fictional—but disturbingly plausible—satirical world where public lands, natural resources, and even the air itself are up for grabs by powerful corporate interests under the guise of government policy. Inspired by real legislative proposals and privatization efforts in the United States, the video uses sharp wit and immersive storytelling to expose the absurdity of monetizing what was once held in common trust: forests, national monuments, oceans, and even children’s futures.Set in the richly textured world of Nomadistan—a fictional, post-capitalist nation of wanderers, thinkers, and quiet rebels—the episode frames the events as “leaked memos” from the neighboring United States of Excavation. The tone blends dry bureaucratic horror with tongue-in-cheek commentary, revealing plans to mine copper from the Statue of Liberty, lease Mount Rushmore as advertising real estate, and meter oxygen by subscription. This dystopian narrative is not just entertainment—it’s a critique of environmental deregulation, late-stage capitalism, and the erosion of public goods for private profit.The video is crafted for a curious and thoughtful audience—viewers interested in political satire, environmental justice, climate policy, and investigative storytelling. It appeals to fans of creators like Johnny Harris, Andrew Callaghan, and Adam Curtis, as well as viewers who enjoy fictional worldbuilding with a moral core. The content is rich in metaphor, layered with visual storytelling, and designed to provoke thought, discussion, and critical engagement with the systems that govern real-world resources.This episode is part of the ongoing Nomadistan Investigates series, which uses a fictional nation and faux-broadcast format to explore very real global issues—from nationalism and surveillance to climate collapse and cultural absurdities.Chapters:0:00 Welcome!0:30 This Is All Community Supported … So THANK YOU!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
