Podcasts about Revolution

Greg Jenner is joined in the 18th century by historian Professor Katherine Astbury and comedian Jen Brister to learn about French queen Marie Antoinette.Born an Austrian princess, Marie Antoinette went on to be the last queen of France before the Revolution and the abolition of the monarchy. She is famous now for saying "let them eat cake", for her love of fashion, and her supposedly extravagant spending at a time when ordinary people in France were going hungry. But how true are any of these stories, and where did these myths about her originate?In this episode, we look at Marie Antoinette's Austrian childhood and overbearing mother, her marriage to Louis XVI and time as queen of France, and the hatred directed at her by the revolutionaries. Along the way we take in her involvement in politics, her love of the theatre, and her possible Swedish sweetheart.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Mike Solana joins Bridget for a fascinating conversation about America's shifting political fault lines, why critiquing tech is critiquing power, and the coming Luddite backlash. They discuss Mamdani's Marxist housing advisor calling for the seizure of private homes (especially from the white middle class), and then crying about it when confronted with questions, the social justice ideas that escaped academia, why Solana thinks that "real leftism" is coming, and why social media is probably net negative. They cover his journey from 23-year-old anarchist to Peter Thiel protégé, to Chief Marketing Officer of Founder's Fund, to founder of Pirate Wires, how the whole geopolitical landscape is shifting so fast that we're all struggling to keep up, looksmaxxing Incels, why we need to focus on integration and not immigration, and how we forget how dumb the average person really is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Try Qualia Stem for up to 50% off at qualialife.com/BRIDGET and use the code BRIDGET for an additional 15% off your order - https://bit.ly/WiW-Qualia - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

The Iranian government has exerted forceful control over its citizens since the Islamic Republic seized power nearly 50 years ago. The pop star Googoosh has firsthand experience of opposition to the regime – and its consequences. In 1980, the singer was imprisoned and forced into a basement with other women after the government deemed her music sinful. Afterwards, she spent decades living in silence and exile. In today's episode, she joins Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd for a conversation about her new memoir, Googoosh: A Sinful Voice, and her relationship with Iran, then and now.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

An estimated one in six American adults today are taking some form of psychiatric medication. Yet it seems mental health outcomes across America have seen no significant improvement, despite the promises of the psychopharmacology revolution.David Cohen, professor of social welfare and associate dean at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs, argues that many of the core assumptions of modern psychiatry are flawed.Cohen is known for his research on psychotropic drugs and coercive mental health treatment.In our interview, we also discuss why it is that America has one of the highest involuntary mental hospitalization rates in Western countries, and what it means that suicide rates are exceedingly high among people who were just released from a mental hospital.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

About: In this episode, Peter Joseph addresses the release of the Integral White Paper, as the core focus, and critiques the pervasive vagueness of alternative economic discourse, arguing that terms like socialism, communism, and Marxism function as empty abstractions that obscure real systems analysis and ultimately reinforce capitalism. He outlines why market price mechanisms fail as tools of economic calculation, ecological balance, and democratic coordination, and introduces Integral as a technically grounded, cybernetic, post-market transition system built around five core subsystems designed to enable cooperation, sustainability, and post-scarcity conditions. The episode also explores human compatibility with collaborative systems, challenges myths about “human nature,” and emphasizes the necessity of structural change over ideological debate. Joseph concludes by warning of accelerating authoritarianism in the United States as a product of capitalist power dynamics, stressing that without transforming underlying economic structures, political regression and ecological collapse will continue unabated.

We loaded up on Vitamin D (and deodorant) before this fresh episode! The main topic was a new sodium bicarbonate study, tracking 40k bike time trial performance at altitude. It's another brick in a really big scientific wall supporting the use of bicarb for performance. We zoom out to let you know why we think it's also effective even in very long distances... and maybe at lower (cheaper) doses.We also talked about Vitamin D supplementation, using a big review study showing that over half of athletes had inadequate levels. Hit the ADEQUATE sign!And this one was full of great topics!

Before Common Sense could ignite a revolution, colonists had to be convinced they shared a cause worth fighting for. So how did Revolutionary leaders turn thirteen very different colonies into “Americans”—and what stories did they tell to make that unity feel real? In this Ben Franklin's World Revisited episode, historian Robert Parkinson returns to explore how newspapers and wartime messaging helped forge the Revolution's “common cause”—and how that campaign leaned on fear, race, and exclusion to build a new national identity.

Exactly 250 years ago, a rotund twenty-five year-old Boston bookseller named Henry Knox was riding his horse between Springfield and Worcester Massachusetts, on his way to George Washington's headquarters in Cambridge. Washington's ragtag, ill-equipped Continental Army had kept the British garrison under General Thomas Gage bottled up in Boston and Charlestown since the summer of 1675.  Washington had a whole load of problems, including insufficient arms for his men, many with expiring enlistments that threatened to shrink his force by half or more.  He also had almost no artillery, just 12 small cannon that Henry Knox, among others, had learned to operate while training with the local militia.  Geographically, the Boston of that era was essentially a bubble of land connected to the mainland by an incredibly narrow neck at Roxbury.  Two hills loomed over the city from across the water – Breed's Hill in Charlestown to Boston's north, which the British had captured at great cost in the summer, and Dorchester Heights, to Boston's south, which the British had not captured. This is why it was very important – world historically important – that Henry Knox, on that day exactly 250 years ago, was commanding a convoy of artillery comprising 58 pieces and weighing more than 60 tons, pulled on purpose-built sleds by teams of oxen and horses all the way from Fort Ticonderoga, 300 miles away, over rivers and the Berkshires, during the coldest winter in memory. Within just a few days those guns would be in Cambridge, and not long after that, on the sixth anniversary of the Boston Massacre, would be entrenched on Dorchester Heights and open fire on the city and ships below.  Henry Knox's big guns would drive the British from Boston, for good.               The tale of that “noble train” of artillery, as Knox famously referred to it, is one of the more astonishing stories of military innovation, indefatigable perseverance, and inspired leadership in a war that had more than its share of such moments. It was also among the most important, because it came at a desperate period when the Americans needed a victory or the entire project of the Revolution might have fallen apart.

A Note from Michael: The Thriving Farmer Podcast is currently on pause as we navigate a busy season on the farm. While we're taking this break, we're excited to share Farm in Focus, a special series of short, focused conversations recorded earlier this year. These bite-sized episodes highlight practical insights from farmers and experts across the industry. We hope they're helpful and encouraging as you continue your farming journey.  Can one grass-fed cow truly become the heart of a food-independent farm? In this Farm in Focus episode, Michael sits down with Shawn and Beth Dougherty, authors of One Cow Revolution, to talk about how a single dairy cow can transform a farm's productivity, resilience, and relationship with the land. Drawing from decades of experience, the Doughertys explain why grass—not grain—is the foundation of sustainable dairy systems, how ruminants build soil fertility while producing food, and what new cow owners need to understand before bringing a milk cow home. This conversation blends philosophy with deeply practical advice, offering a grounded look at low-input, grass-based farming. Whether you're dreaming of a family milk cow or simply curious about food independence, this episode offers timeless insights rooted in observation, experience, and respect for animals and land.   In this episode, you'll hear about: The One Cow Revolution Why Shawn and Beth felt compelled to write One Cow Revolution [01:40] How cows fit into a sustainable, food-independent farm system [01:40] Grass, Ruminants & Soil Health Why grass is the most important resource on the farm [03:34] How ruminants improve soil fertility while producing food [03:34] Advice for New Cow Owners Why starting small is critical for success [07:50] How temporary electric fencing makes land integration easier [07:50] Why observation matters more than rigid systems [07:50] The Abundance of a Dairy Cow Just how much food one cow can provide [13:34] Using milk to feed other animals and increase farm productivity [13:34] Common Mistakes & Lessons Learned Where new cow owners often underestimate feed needs [16:14] Why practical experience matters more than theory [16:14] Why milking is simpler than many people expect [16:14]  About the Guests: Shawn and Beth Dougherty have been homesteading together since 1985, for the past 35 years in northern Appalachia. They raise dairy and beef cows, pigs, and poultry on a small acreage designated by the state of Ohio as "not suitable for agriculture." The Doughertys write, teach, and speak on holistic grazing and inputs-free farming, using grass-fed ruminants to restore abused land and build fertile, resilient farmsteads. They are the authors of One Cow Revolution, The Independent Farmstead, and The Independent Farmstead's Field Guides to Inputs-Free Farming series. Links:

Donald Trump is taking aim at the most powerful, and most opaque, institution in the global economy: the Federal Reserve. By moving to oust Jay Powell through a criminal investigation, Trump has triggered a battle that cuts to the heart of who really controls money in America, and by extension, the world. Is this an unprecedented act of economic sabotage? A dangerous authoritarian power grab? Or is Trump simply calling the bluff of a self-regarding central banking elite who've been pulling the levers of the economy from their marble citadels for 40 years? In this episode, we go deep on interest rates, the dollar, and the political economy of money, from Nero and Henry VIII to Lenin and Hitler, to explain why powerful leaders have always wanted to control the currency. We explore what “financial repression” really means, why Trump wants rates at 1%, and who wins (and loses) when money is made cheap. What if the central bankers aren't the neutral technocrats they claim to be? What if independence has been more myth than reality, and quantitative easing has already blurred the lines between the Fed and the government? Hosted on Acast.

1. Role of Popular Uprising Millions of Iranians are described as actively protesting against the ruling clerical regime. The movement is portrayed as organic, domestic, and secular, not Islamist or anti‑Western. Economic collapse is identified as the primary catalyst rather than a single political trigger. Protesters are framed as the legitimate engine of change, with the U.S. positioned as a supporter rather than the instigator. 2. Economic Collapse as a Destabilizer Hyperinflation and currency collapse (rial exceeding 1,000,000 to the dollar) have crippled daily life. Bazaar closures, labor strikes (notably in energy), and widespread shortages are presented as systemic stressors. Low global oil prices weaken Iran’s primary revenue source, limiting the regime’s ability to fund repression and foreign proxies. 3. U.S. Policy Contrast: Trump vs. Obama/Biden There is a sharp contrast between: Obama/Biden: Characterized as conciliatory, passive, and supportive of engagement (e.g., Iran nuclear deal). Trump: Portrayed as deterrence‑focused, confrontational, and openly supportive of regime change. Trump’s public endorsement of a “new government” in Iran is framed as unprecedented and strategically consequential. 4. Deterrence Without Occupation We reject a large‑scale military invasion. Instead, we support: Targeted military strikes (e.g., nuclear facilities, IRGC leadership) Covert operations Clear deterrent threats against mass repression The killing of Qasem Soleimani is highlighted as a key inflection point that shattered regime confidence. 5. Iran’s Strategic Weakness Iran’s air defenses and regional influence are described as severely degraded. Hezbollah, Hamas, and other proxies have been decapitated or weakened. The regime is increasingly isolated as allies (Venezuela, Syria, Russia) face their own crises. 6. Internal Regime Fractures The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is portrayed as a potential kingmaker or coup actor. The text suggests the IRGC: Controls vast economic assets Is deeply unpopular with the public May abandon the clerical leadership to preserve its own power A coup becomes likely if U.S. pressure and labor strikes converge. 7. Information Control and Fear Internet shutdowns and communication blackouts are signs of regime panic. Supreme Leader Khamenei fears internal reform more than outright confrontation, drawing parallels to Soviet collapse. 9. Broader Geopolitical Context Iran’s situation is linked to potential domino effects in Venezuela and Cuba. Energy independence and low oil prices are framed as key U.S. national security tools. The moment is compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall, suggesting a possible systemic collapse of authoritarian regimes without U.S. ground wars. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Why did the Iranian Revolution erupt in 1979? What was the nature of the relationship between President Carter and the ostentatious Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi? And, who was the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a man whose militant vision for Iran would see it drastically remade? Join Dominic and Tom, as they launch into one of the most dramatic stories of all time, with such far reaching consequences, that they still reverberate across the Middle East today: the Islamic Revolution. As they delve into the events that set this cataclysmic event in motion, they will bring to life the three men at the heart of it all.  _______ Join The Rest Is History Club: Unlock the full experience of the show – with exclusive bonus episodes, ad-free listening, early access to every series and live show tickets, a members-only newsletter, discounted books from the show, and access to our private Discord chatroom.

Oligarchies either collapse or they become tyrannies. There's no third option. Thus, the only real question now is whether enough of us will recognize what's happening while there's still time to stop it.

Iran protests are shaking the foundations of a brutal regime, but the real question is why this moment matters for the United States. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Giordano breaks through media silence to explain the stakes, the risks, and the policy choices that could reshape the global balance of power. As unrest spreads across Iran, exaggerated claims of imminent collapse collide with a far harsher reality. This episode examines what is actually happening on the ground, why Americans have already paid a heavy price for the Islamic Republic, and how Iran fits into the broader anti-American axis involving Russia, China, and Venezuela. The focus is not on slogans or wishful thinking, but on clear-eyed strategy, historical patterns, and realistic policy options.   What You'll Learn: Why Iran protests are not just a domestic issue but a direct U.S. national interest How the Iranian regime has killed Americans through proxy warfare and why that history matters now What weakens authoritarian regimes and why elite defections matter more than street protests How Iran connects Russia, China, and a shifting Middle East into an anti-American axis Why the real policy choice is not war or indifference, and what a third path could look like

SECRET GRATITUDE TO THE LONG ISLAND SPY RING Colleague Nathaniel Philbrick. Philbrick details Washington's unadvertised 1790 tour of Long Island, which appears to have been a covert mission to thank members of the Culper Spy Ring. This journey included stops at safe houses like Austin Roe's tavern, serving as a quiet chapter of gratitude to those who risked everything for the Revolution. NUMBER 4

Rachel Midura joins Jana Byars to talk about Postal Intelligence: The Tassis Family and Communications Revolution in Early Modern Europe (Cornell UP, 2025) connects and situates histories of the post and government intelligence alongside print technology and state power in the wider context of the early modern communications revolution. In the sixteenth century, postal services became central to domestic governance and foreign policy enterprises, extended government reach and surveillance, and offered new control over the public sphere. Rachel Midura focuses on the Tassis family, members of which served as official postmasters to the dukes of Milan, the pope, Spanish kings, and Holy Roman emperors. Using administrative records and family correspondence, she follows the Tassis family, their agents, and their rivals as their influence expanded from northern Italy across Europe. Postal Intelligence shows how postmasters and postmistresses were key players in early modern diplomacy, commerce, and journalism, whose ultimate success depended on both administrative ingenuity and strategic ambiguity.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with Iranian activist and campaigner Lily Moo for a harrowing and urgent conversation on the unfolding crisis inside Iran, the collapse of the Islamic Republic's legitimacy, and the fight for freedom.Lily explains what she is hearing directly from contacts and family inside Iran amid widespread blackouts, mass arrests, and violent crackdowns by the IRGC. We discuss the scale of the protests, the reported death toll, and why many Iranians believe the country is now in a revolutionary moment rather than another failed uprising.The conversation explores the role of economic collapse, sanctions, and inflation, alongside decades of repression, executions, and ideological control. Lily describes how protests spread from the Tehran bazaar across the country, why mosques have become symbols of regime violence, and how fear has given way to open defiance.We also examine Iran's relationship with the West, the threat posed by the IRGC beyond Iran's borders, and the growing calls for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a unifying transitional figure. Lily argues that Iran's future depends on reclaiming national identity, restoring dignity, and ending decades of Islamist rule.A powerful and deeply personal conversation about revolution, exile, courage, and whether Iran is finally approaching a decisive break with its past.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Lily's Activism & Life Under Threat05:35 Leaving Iran, Assimilating in Britain & Loyalty to the Crown08:24 IRGC Threats on British Soil10:12 What Is Actually Happening Inside Iran Right Now12:06 Reza Pahlavi, Monarchy & the Question of Leadership16:01 Economic Collapse, Sanctions & the Spark of Revolution19:39 Regime Fear, Military Pressure & Strategic Deterrence24:34 Is This a Revolution or Another Uprising?30:46 Blackouts, Mass Killings & First-Hand Testimony35:50 Why This Moment Is Different37:07 Persian Identity, Zoroastrian Roots & National Memory41:30 Religion in Iran: Islam, Christianity & Conversion45:57 Regime Change, Chaos & the Fear of the Unknown48:10 Can Reza Pahlavi Actually Govern?52:45 Foreign Intervention, History & Legitimacy56:46 Who Would Run Iran After the Regime Falls1:01:43 London Protests, Activism & Calling Out the BBC1:05:16 Final Reflection Hosted on Acast.

Some stories shape your life before you are old enough to remember them. In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh shares his Iranian origin story and how the Iranian Revolution changed the course of his family's life. Born to a Persian father and Italian American mother, Darius reflects on his family's forced exit from Iran, growing up disconnected from half of his identity, and the lasting impact that displacement had on his father and his upbringing. As Iran faces renewed unrest today, Darius explains why speaking up matters and how personal stories can shine light on what is often ignored. This episode is a reminder that freedom should never be taken for granted and that awareness begins with empathy. In this episode, Darius will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to My Story (01:17) My Iranian Heritage and Family Background (04:49) The Iranian Revolution and Its Impact (09:45) Life in America: Growing Up with a Dual Identity (16:50) The Aftermath of the Revolution on My Family (21:26) A Call to Action: Supporting Freedom in Iran Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine  Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I don't know anyone who enjoys filing their taxes. It is something we begrudgingly do every April, or earlier for the well-organized, and it is usually a somewhat painful exercise. What if filing your taxes was easy, taking less than 30 minutes? What if tax planning wasn't a once-a-year chore but an embedded feature in your banking app, payroll platform, or investment account?In this episode, I sit down with Ben Borodach, founder and CEO of april, the first company to build a nationally licensed tax engine in over 15 years. Ben shares how april is transforming tax from an annual burden into real-time financial intelligence, partnering with banks, fintechs, and payroll platforms to embed tax services directly into the financial tools Americans already use. We discuss the massive technical challenge of building tax infrastructure from scratch, why embedded tax makes sense for financial institutions, and how bringing tax decisions to the point of transaction, whether selling stock, adjusting payroll withholding, or buying a home, can fundamentally change how people manage their financial lives.In this podcast you will learn:How he came to the idea of building a fintech company focused on tax.How april was incubated inside Team8.Why they decided to create an embedded tax solution rather than go direct to consumer.What their product offering does.How they are helping consumers to think about taxes beyond once a year.The three categories of companies they are focused on.Why banks should be offering tax services to their customers.Why being integrated into the banking cores is not a high priority right now.How april is different to the big tax providers, TurboTax and H&R Block.How their customers present the tax offerings.What it means to be a nationally licensed e-file provider.How they integrate with the IRS and the state tax agencies.How they are leveraging the growth of embedded finance.What is involved from a technology perspective to integrate with april.How he thinks about tax policy, as a tax infrastructure company.Ben's vision for april.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Wann gelingt eine Revolution? Und was folgt auf die Revolte? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich der US-amerikanische Politologe Jack Goldstone. Er meint: „Nur die wenigsten Revolutionen führen zur Demokratie“. Was bedeutet Goldstones Analyse für den Massenprotest im Iran, der so brutal niedergeschlagen wird? Darüber diskutieren Markus Lanz und Richard David Precht in dieser Folge, blicken außerdem auf den Arabischen Frühlings und fragen sich, wie es mit uns Deutschen und unseren Revolutionen aussieht. Anders als in Frankreich oder Italien gab es in Deutschland lange keine siegreiche und identitätsstiftende Revolution zur Begründung der Demokratie. Die Friedliche Revolution in Ostdeutschland zeigte 1989 aber sehr anschaulich, wie ein erfolgreicher Umsturz gelingen kann.

In today's episode, Becket Cook breaks down the breakout HBO Max series Heated Rivalry – the steamy Canadian hockey romance topping charts and earning breathless New York Times coverage as "revolutionary." What makes a show about two rival players falling in love so emotionally overwhelming that fans are hosting watch parties and breaking down in tears? Why are critics saying this takes LGBTQ representation to a dangerous new level? From a former insider’s perspective, Cook exposes the subtle cultural shift happening on screen, connects it to Scripture, and reveals why many Christians are unknowingly falling for it. This episode is a must-watch if you care about truth in media.

Hercules Mulligan was not a general or a politician. He was a tailor who quietly helped save the American Revolution while silence would have kept him safe. This episode tells the gripping, high-stakes story of Mulligan and his enslaved courier Cato and why their choices still matter today. In this installment of America's Founding Series, we go inside British-occupied New York where loose talk, ego, and courage collided. You will hear how intelligence was gathered, moved, and acted on, the moral complexity behind the heroes we remember, and why speaking the truth often carries a personal cost. This is not a lecture. It's a story about courage under pressure, imperfect heroes, and the price of telling the truth when it would be easier to stay quiet. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Hercules Mulligan used proximity, psychology, and British arrogance to sabotage enemy plans Why Cato's role as a courier involved far greater personal risk than history often acknowledges The irony of British officers wearing uniforms made by the man undermining their missions Why silence is often safer, and why courage means acting anyway What this forgotten story teaches about whistleblowers, dissent, and moral risk today

America experienced its own colour revolution in 2020, when George Soros and his Open Society Foundation launched the Black Lives Matter & George Floyd psychological operations during the Summer of Love. The culture was forever changed in the aftermath of one of the dumbest periods in American history.This century, colour revolutions have been financed worldwide by the Soros network, including the Arab Spring uprisings, the first Ukrainian revolution of 2004, and the multiple operations in the former Soviet Union. Understanding the nature of the operators makes it easier to determine how to prevent future overthrows, and predicting where they might happen next.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —
