Ivy Insights

The Survival Podcast is a podcast that covers a wide range of topics, from permaculture to self-reliance. Hosted by Jack Spirko, the show offers a unique blend of wisdom and advice that is hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're interested in survival techniques or simply looking for inspiration to live a better life, Jack delivers it all. I have been listening to this podcast on and off for years, and it continues to be a reliable and solid source of information.

One of the best aspects of The Survival Podcast is the variety of topics covered. From discussions on permaculture and gardening to practical advice for surviving and thriving in today's world, there is something for everyone. Jack brings on guests who provide valuable insights and expertise, making each episode informative and thought-provoking. He encourages listeners to think critically and take action, inspiring them to improve their lives in meaningful ways.

Another great aspect of this podcast is Jack's authenticity. He doesn't shy away from sharing his opinions, even if they might be controversial at times. While I may not always agree with him, I appreciate his honesty and willingness to engage in spirited discussions. His monologues can often give me goosebumps as he dives deep into important topics that others might shy away from.

One potential downside of The Survival Podcast is its length. With over 2,000 episodes available, it can be overwhelming for new listeners to know where to start. However, the Saturday Myiagi Morning Compilations are a great way to get all of Jack's advice and wisdom in one place. Additionally, some listeners might find Jack's strong opinions off-putting or may disagree with certain viewpoints expressed on the show. Nevertheless, I believe it's important to listen with an open mind and form our own opinions based on research and critical thinking.

In conclusion, The Survival Podcast is an exceptional podcast that offers a wealth of knowledge across a wide range of topics. Jack Spirko's wisdom, authenticity, and ability to inspire action make this podcast a valuable resource for anyone interested in self-reliance and personal growth. While there may be some aspects that not everyone agrees with or finds appealing, overall, this podcast provides practical advice and insights that can help listeners navigate the challenges of everyday life. Give it a listen and let Jack into your world – you won't be disappointed.

Today I'm joined by CJ Killmer, host of the Dangerous History Podcast, for a hard look at where America might be headed as tensions and political violence keep rising. A lot of people compare our current divide to the Civil War, but CJ makes a strong case that's the wrong model. Instead, he points to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a messy, decades-long conflict that mixed politics, religion, and insurgency in ways that feel a lot closer to what a modern breakdown could look like.

All Welfare is Corporate Welfare – Epi-3574

This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies in modern economics, that welfare helps the poor. In reality, every dollar that enters a government program eventually ends up in corporate hands. The rich use debt to buy assets and generate tax-free income. The poor use debt to survive and never escape it. From SNAP to Medicaid, the system recycles money upward through low wages, processed food, and pharmaceutical profits. We'll break down how this loop works: taxpayers fund assistance programs, benefits go to workers whose employers rely on those subsidies, and the corporations collecting those dollars … Continue reading →
