This year, he published a book called Wastelands in which he portrays a pretty grim diagnosis of why the world is increasingly becoming more and more unstable and dangerous, why is the United States but also Russia and China in decline that is only getting faster and why what's coming is more chaos, more instability, violence and danger - as well, as what can we do to avoid it. We talk about all of that and much more - in what I think is pretty fascinating conversation.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Paul Spencer about the intersection of AI and astrology, the balance of fate and free will, and how embodiment shapes human experience in time and space. They explore cultural shifts since 2020, the fading influence of institutions, the “patchwork age” of decentralized communities, and the contrasts between solar punk and cyberpunk visions for the future. Paul shares his perspective on America's evolving role, the symbolism of the Aquarian Age, and why philosophical, creative, and practical adaptability will be essential in the years ahead. You can connect with Paul and explore more of his work and writings at zeitvillemedia.substack.com, or find him as @ZeitvilleMedia on Twitter and You Tube.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop and Paul Spencer open with a discussion on AI and astrology, exploring fate versus free will and how human embodiment shapes the way we move through time and space.05:00 Paul contrasts the human timeline, marked by death, with AI's lack of finality, bringing in Brian Johnson's transhumanism and the need for biological embodiment for true AI utility.10:00 They explore how labor, trade, food, and procreation anchor human life, connecting these to the philosophical experience of space and time.15:00 Nietzsche and Bergson's ideas on life force, music, and tactile philosophy are discussed as alternatives to detached Enlightenment thinking.20:00 The conversation shifts to social media's manipulation, institutional decay after 2020, and the absence of an “all clear” moment.25:00 They reflect on the chaotic zeitgeist, nostalgia for 2021's openness, and people faking cultural cohesion.30:00 Paul uses Seinfeld as an example of shared codes, contrasting it with post-woke irony and drifting expectations.35:00 Pluto in Aquarius and astrological energies frame a shift from heaviness to a delirious cultural mood.40:00 Emotional UBI and the risks of avoiding emotional work lead into thoughts on America's patchwork future.45:00 They explore homesteading, raw milk as a cultural symbol, and the tension between consumerism and alternative visions like solar punk and cyberpunk.50:00 Paul highlights the need for cross-tribal diplomacy, the reality of the surveillance state, and the Aquarian Age's promise of decentralized solutions.Key InsightsPaul Spencer frames astrology as a way to understand the interplay of fate and free will within the embodied human experience, emphasizing that humans are unique in their awareness of time and mortality, which gives life story and meaning.He argues that AI, while useful for shifting perspectives, lacks “skin in the game” because it has no embodiment or death, and therefore cannot fully grasp or participate in the human condition unless integrated into biological or cybernetic systems.The conversation contrasts human perception of space and time, drawing from philosophers like Nietzsche and Bergson who sought to return philosophy to the body through music, dance, and tactile experiences, challenging abstract, purely cerebral approaches.Post-2020 culture is described as a “patchwork age” without a cohesive zeitgeist, where people often “fake it” through thin veneers of social codes. This shift, combined with Pluto's move into Aquarius, has replaced the heaviness of previous years with a chaotic, often giddy nihilism.America is seen as the primary arena for the patchwork age due to its pioneering, experimental spirit, with regional entrepreneurship and cultural biodiversity offering potential for renewal, even as nostalgia for past unity and imperial confidence lingers.Tensions between “solar punk” and “cyberpunk” visions highlight the need for cross-tribal diplomacy—connecting environmentalist, primitivist, and high-tech decentralist communities—because no single approach will be sufficient to navigate accelerating change.The Aquarian Age, following the Piscean Age in the procession of the equinoxes, signals a movement from centralized, hypnotic mass programming toward decentralized, engineering-focused solutions, where individuals must focus on building beauty and resilience in their own worlds rather than being consumed by “they” narratives.

In this episode, host Alex Sachon critically examines key points made by US foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. This interview focuses partly on the current situation in Gaza and partly on the perplexing nature of the US-Israel relationship. While Alex appreciates Mearsheimer's detailed historical analysis of Israel's motivations for its policies toward Gaza and his deep knowledge of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship", he fundamentally disagrees with Mearsheimer's nation-state-centric approach and his emphasis on ideology as the main driver of U.S. foreign policy. Instead, Alex argues that only by understanding the U.S. as a global empire—driven by control, centralization, and technological dominance—can we make sense of its actions in the Middle East. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of Mearsheimer's perspective, offering a broader framework for understanding current events.Table of Contents00:00 – Introduction: Framing the Debate03:32 – Clip 1: The U.S. Foreign Policy EstablishmentAlex critiques Mearsheimer's focus on ideology and the nation-state, arguing for a broader model that distinguishes between America as a nation-state and as a global empire.04:34 – Clip 2: The U.S.-Israel RelationshipMearsheimer discusses the influence of the Israel lobby and U.S. military support. Alex agrees with the factual analysis at the nation-state level but insists the real driver is the empire's need for control, not just lobbying or ideology.08:33 – Clip 3: The Two-State SolutionMearsheimer claims the U.S. wants peace and a two-state solution. Alex strongly disagrees, arguing that ongoing conflict serves U.S. imperial interests, especially regarding the petrodollar system.10:24 – Clip 4: The Greater Israel Project and Ethnic CleansingMearsheimer details the historical roots and current execution of the Greater Israel agenda. Alex praises this clarity but adds that the American Empire's structure enables these dynamics.17:58 – Clip 5: Why Israel Wants GazaMearsheimer explains the strategic and ideological motivations for controlling Gaza and neighboring regions. Alex acknowledges the accuracy of the historical analysis and adds economic and geostrategic factors.22:57 – ConclusionAlex summarizes the need for a more dynamic model of American power to understand Middle East geopolitics and global events.Send us a text

Shot in stark, vivid black & white cinematography and featuring a breathtaking lead performance by the great Lili Taylor, the film explores vampirism as a natural extension of the maladies of the world, a physical expression of the spiritual sickness of existing in modernity as a subject of the American Empire.We begin with a discussion of Abel Ferrara as director, his unsparing eye for difficult subject matter, and the unexpected tenderness and humanism that emanates from such an exacting body of work. Then, we explore the film's multifaceted take on vampirism, simultaneously allegorizing addiction, spiritual retribution, and a subjective manifestation of imperial blowback. Finally, we discuss the potency of a film that locates a cutlural zeitgeist and comment on its afflictions through formalism rather than mimeography, conjuring the essence of a historical-material milieu rather than seeking shallow pattern recognition.Follow Peter Raleigh on Twitter.Read and Subscribe to Peter's Substack Long Library.Read Peter on Abel Ferrara's The Addiction.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

Co-author of The Controlled Demolition of the American Empire, Jeff Berwick, is back to discuss how the book predicted our current political and social environments, as well as predicting an impending economic collapse and debasement of the United States Dollar. As Anarchapulco approaches, the city of Acapulco comes back to life after a very unusual CAT-5 Hurricane Otis destroyed a majority of the city with 200 mph+ winds. Thanks to the generous donations made to the Hurricane Otis Recovery fund launched by Berwick hours after the event, many locals were helped by the Anarchapulco planning team in their time of extreme need.

Back in 2007, General Wesley Clark went on “Democracy Now!” with Amy Goodman and told a story of a memo that he saw that listed seven different countries that the United States was going to take out over the course of five years. Besides it being a psychotic idea by a group of blood-thirsty warmongers, it was very revealing as to the aspirations of the American Empire in remaking the map of the Middle East and North Africa. The roadmap of destruction started with Iraq back in 2003 and continued in almost the exact order that Clark relayed during his interview, with Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and lastly, Iran. As the push towards World War 3 intensifies, the questions about why America feels the need to be involved will only increase. Is this an ideological push, a factor of security arrangements between nations, or is it just about the oil?

Patrick Hahn, PhD, is one of the world's best critics of psychiatric drugs and the medical model for human suffering, as well as an advocate for more caring approaches to therapy.   When COVID-19 came along, he knew that another medical or biological fraud was being foisted upon the world. If you are unfamiliar with his work, it's because he is so scientifically accurate and so straightforward in his communications that the elite don't want you to know who he is.   His books include, among others, Prescription for Sorrow, Madness and Genetic Determinism, Obedience Pills, and The Day the Science Died: Covid Vaccines and the Power of Fear. His latest book, now as an editor, is Never the Same: Unheard Stories of the Covid Vaccine Injured.   Any of us can learn from any of these great books, and I cannot exaggerate the quality of his research and writing. It combines his keen scientific knowledge with his interest in the stories of real human beings.   Beyond all that, Patrick is simply a wise and thoughtful man and scientist. Our interview today, which ranges from psychiatric drugs to the American Empire and international banking, makes for one of our most interesting interviews.   ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd welcomes a special guest, Casser, for a bonus episode that delves deep into the Israel-Palestine conflict from a libertarian perspective. They discuss the historical context of Zionism, the influence of various libertarian thinkers, and the implications of applying libertarian principles to the current geopolitical landscape. The conversation tackles both theological and political dimensions, examining the biases present within both the Christian and libertarian communities regarding Israel. They also debate the justifications for Israel's recent actions against Iran, contemplating the ethics of preemptive strikes and the legitimacy of state actions in warfare. The episode explores different narratives and seeks to find a consistent application of libertarian ethics in analyzing these complex issues.Full Episode Notes at biblicalanarchypodcast.com

As the early stages of the Third World War take shape, the path towards peace is narrowing and quickly becoming unrecognizable. The American Empire has wanted control of Iran since the 1950s, and the Israelis have been plotting their destruction since they got nukes several decades ago. What does a war with Iran look like for the West, and how do the unintended consequences of combat impact the wider world geopolitically, financially, and socially? Are the Israelis on the brink of starting a nuclear war to paper over their ongoing genocide in Gaza? Unfortunately, the answers to these questions will be answered by the most psychopathic regime in recent memory, so brace for impact.

As we all know by now, the US, under President Trump's leadership, attacked Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. This is not merely a bad decision - it is among the craziest, most risky, and most stupid decisions ever taken by any world leader. In the latest episode of Didactic Mind, I explain why Trump has now ensured the total failure of his second term, by handing over control of his foreign policy decisions to the neoclowns, and to the Iranians. I give background and context around the wars in Ukraine and Iran, and point out that, even though Ornj Boi did not start these wars, he was given an explicit mandate by the American people to end them. He decided not to do so, and instead walked straight into not one, but TWO, very obvious and very clear traps, laid out for him by the neoclowns. Because of this, and because of Trump's brinkmanship, the world is now far more dangerous, and the American Empire is one step closer to total collapse. I explain why this is the case toward the end of the podcast, and how that could happen. I also provide my own thoughts about why Drumpf appears to be so willing to bend to the will of the neoclowns - and those thoughts are dark and troubling indeed. Whatever happens next, I think we have passed a threshold, and there is no going back. Trump is now officially a failed President, who has gutted whatever credibility the FUSA once had on the global stage. No one is ever going to take the US at its word again. Its economic collapse is now totally assured. And all that remains, is for Small-Hands Donny to serve out whatever is left of his term, before he is impeached, or unalived. His legacy is, by his own hand, destroyed. Support the War College If you like what I do, and you would like to express your appreciation, please feel free to do so here via my Buy Me a Coffee page.

In this episode, we sit down with Shaina Potts, author of Judicial Territory: Law, Capital, and the Expansion of American Empire (Duke University Press, 2024)—a groundbreaking book that reveals how U.S. courts have quietly become instruments of global economic governance. Drawing on legal geography and a sharp understanding of finance and political economy, Shaina uncovers how American judicial authority has extended beyond borders to discipline postcolonial states, enforce the primacy of private property, and protect the rights of foreign investors. This legal reach—what she calls judicial territory—has been a crucial, yet overlooked, pillar of U.S. empire and the liberal international order. The conversation unpacks how doctrines like foreign sovereign immunity and the act of state doctrine have enabled courts in New York and elsewhere to shape global capital flows, often treating foreign governments like private firms. Through detailed case studies—such as a startling instance where a U.S. court orders Ghana to seize an Argentine ship—we trace the long arc of legal imperialism from the Cold War through today's multipolar tensions. We also ask: Could China or Russia create alternative legal geographies of power? What does the future hold for judicial authority in fields like tech regulation, climate, and global finance? GUEST BIO: Dr. Shaina Potts is an economic, legal, and political geographer and Associate Professor at UCLA. She focuses on the articulation of international political economy, geopolitics, and law. In the age of globalization, cross-border economic processes are often treated as placeless, ubiquitous flows, making nation-states and borders increasingly obsolete. Her work shows, in contrast, how transnational economic relations are inscribed in concrete and geographically specific legal and institutional practices and that states remain central to producing and governing this activity. Much of her research combines analyses of technical, economic, and legal processes with extensive historical and geopolitical contextualization to show how the perpetuation of North-South economic inequalities is shaped by the micro-operations of contracts, financial transactions, and law. A strand of her research focuses on financial geographies of sovereign debt, with a focus on debt crises in the Global South.

All American presidents since 1945 have been managers of the USA's global economic empire, Trump notionally fulfils the same role but has little or no understanding of the complexities, challenges and limitations that his predecessors have had to navigate. As with all narcissists, he sees America's crises through the prism of his own personal experience. The last 24 hours of White House reality TV shows us once again that the economic and ideological factors that have propelled Trump to the Oval Office twice have corroded the structures of American power probably beyond repair. Trump's predecessors had their dramas but the idea that they would have consciously created this manner of circus from them is inconceivable. As managers of empire they were far more discrete. Both the system of imperial management and the empire itself are in terminal decline. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

American debt is growing, fast. As we record this, the United States federal government has borrowed about 36.2 TRILLION American dollars in order to cover its expenses. But, by the time you hear this - that is, less than 24 hours since recording - it will have shot past this. OK, I can hear you asking: So what? Why should we care? What does it matter to us if Donald Trump has a bill passed that will add another three trillion dollars to that debt, as he’s hoping? Because these figures point to an empire in decline, according to international and political editor Peter Hartcher. Today, he joins me to discuss what it would take to pull the American empire back from the brink. And what it all means for the rest of us if the United States ceased to be a great power.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this landmark sixth chapter of The Journey Beyond Death, we begin a new arc titled “Mystics & Seers” by welcoming two of the most piercing voices in spiritual inquiry: Jeff Berwick and Shunyamurti. Together, they unravel what lies beyond this world—and how to reclaim the truth buried beneath illusion. Jeff Berwick, founder of The Dollar Vigilante, challenges the very nature of reality. Is this world a divine simulation? Is death just a shift of levels in a cosmic game? Through years of intensive meditation and consciousness experimentation, Berwick offers raw, revolutionary insights: that fear is programmed, death is misunderstood, and freedom begins when the mind surrenders. Shunyamurti, spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Ashram, takes us even deeper—into the still center of being that never dies. With razor-sharp clarity and mystical presence, he explores why the soul incarnates, how ego fragments the Real, and what it means to awaken before death. His message: You are not the body, not the mind, not even the story. You are the eternal light watching it all. This episode is not for the casually curious. It's for the seeker standing at the threshold, ready to cross. Death is not the end. It is the illusion we must transcend to truly live. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 - Metaphysical Seeker & Sovereignty Advocate Jeff Berwick 44:00 - Spiritual Master & Founder of the Sat Yoga Institute Shunyamurti -------------------------------- Jeff Berwick is a financial iconoclast, spiritual truth-seeker, and founder of The Dollar Vigilante. After building and selling Canada's largest financial website, Stockhouse.com, Berwick spent years traveling to over 100 countries—seeking freedom, truth, and a deeper understanding of reality beyond the mainstream matrix. One of the first analysts to call Bitcoin at $3 and Ethereum at $2, Berwick also teaches that we're living in a cosmic simulation—a spiritual “video game” where awakening means reclaiming our power from fear, control, and illusion. Through his media platform Vigilante.tv, bestselling book The Controlled Demolition of the American Empire, and his annual Anarchapulco conference, Berwick fuses financial independence, metaphysics, and radical self-liberation. Website: TV Channel: ----------------------------- Shunyamurti is a renowned spiritual teacher, yogi, and founder of the Sat Yoga Institute and Ashram in Costa Rica. Drawn to the path of inner liberation from an early age, he immersed himself in advanced practices of meditation, self-inquiry, and multiple yogic disciplines. His training included an apprenticeship with Baba Hari Dass, extensive study of Sri Ramana Maharshi's teachings, and over a decade of committed spiritual life in a Brahmachari ashram in India. Shunyamurti's wisdom synthesizes the core insights of Advaita Vedanta, Shaivism, and Buddhism with Western psychoanalytic traditions, transpersonal psychology, and mysticism.

Britt Gillette discusses his work researching globalism and global empire in light of biblical prophecy. Cracks in the American Empire are beginning to emerge as its military might is waning and its dollar world reserve status is in danger. The tech revolution (e.g. AI, drone warfare) is making legacy systems obsolete and Britt fears that whoever achieves first-mover advantage will take over the entire planet. Molecular manufacturing will bring Skynet online, so to speak. He comments on the digital gulag, the mark of the beast, global depression, transhumanism which he believes will become the dominant philosophy, and more.

It's been great to live in America since World War II, but Trump is in the process of blowing up that whole order. Even Canada is looking to lead a new alliance, because how can other countries trust us after voters put the stupidest convicted American back in charge? And never forget that Russia is not on the tariff list—despite the fact that the US does more trade with Russia than a number of other countries on the list. Meanwhile, Trump opted to head to a golf tournament instead of attending the dignified return of the four dead servicemen who were killed in Lithuania. Plus, 9/11 truther Laura Loomer is running the National Security Council and we're still bombing the Houthis. Adam Kinzinger joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod. show notes Video of Lithuanians paying homage to the four American soldiers who died in a training accident Tim's playlist

He also reacts to the vicious doxing of young men involved in Elon Musk's DOGE operation.
