QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know
Rypke Zeilmaker

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

Friesland is one of the last regions in the current Netherlands, where you still have green living space. The Frisians also still have their own language and identity, and our villages and cities have not been affected that much by ‘replacement migration’ as large cities have, and we live more together based on ‘natural law’ and historical habit than based on conditioned systemloyalty. You can still recognise something of the country that you were born in, although globalists try to enforce the UN Agenda on the regional level.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

I failed as an academic, but discovered that i can use the research skills and writing skills as sciencejournalist, and use my knowlegde of the scientific method and biology tot dig deeper than the average journalist. After completing a basic year at the Photo Acadamy in Amsterdam, i also became professional photographer, publishing many international reports on natural history for ‘mainstream media’ before moving more into the alternative media. I believe the media in The Netherlands were not that bad when i started, but became more and more a voice of an internationalist olicharchy after they were taken over by two Belgian billionaires and the State, most journalists I worked with in the MSM were true professionals but quality, also in an intellectual sense, has deterred dramatically in the last 15 years.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

The whole idea the ‘the government’ is there for our own good, and therefore a trustworthy entity that can improve society, to be quoted in headlines unquestioningly, instead of an evil necessity needed to prevent crime etc. When i started as journalist, healthy distrust was still the common denominator, this also used to be the position of the old left in the ‘80s. Now it is ‘the new right’ active in the alternative media that holds a position that used to be those of anarchists, call it libertarian ideas about self organisation. The Left used to be anti-globalist and against the European Union and the Euro, now this position is held by liberatarian conservatives (to which i reckon myself).

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

I never bothered about the UN Climate Agenda, and considered it one of the many stories, where spreading fear is used to generate a massive wealth transfer from taxpayers to a limited set of special interests. My first impression seemed to be the right one, yet it is fascinating to see how ‘the masses’ can be manipulated to believe an obvious lie based on model projections, and spend trillions on it. After Al Gore visited our country a national opinion-magazin HP De Tijd asked me to write a skeptical article on the subject, where I interviewed Bjorn Lomborg and ‘contrarian’ scientists in The Netherlands. After publication a representive of the British Government called, because they were not amused and wanted me to debate Lord Stern for the British Embassy. I did not know the chap, so I declined, but found out how much political weight was being pushed behind this agenda. Then I discovered what my long term collegue and friend Marcel Crok found out, after his publication on the manipulation of climate data (the Hockeystick Fraud), that became an international ‘scandal’: there’s more to the story than ‘science’, it is a way to impose a world view and new political system based on utopian ideas that have prevailed since the French Revolution.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

I had visited THC-using hippies in England for a falconry congress, as a trainee in falconry in 2003. They lived in London Chiswick, and one of them had an owl living in his toilet. They told me 911 was an ‘inside job’. The context of their lifestyle provided (“and then I got High”), i was fascinated by the idea, but also thought it as being a little paranoid. So i just did not bother. My entry happend through the climate hoax, and starting off as a blogger for climategate.nl in 2009. Our focus was first on debunking ‘the science’ but i soon found out that this is unproductive and delved more in the the historical and philosophical background. One of my fellowbloggers was a Climatologist who was already at home in the blogosphere and showed me the work of James Corbett. That opened the door to more alternative sources who were just so much more better informed than the average newspaper-journalist, also into ‘deep history’. Once you find out how ‘global warming’ is a means to replace defense spending of the cold war with public investment in peacetime, you just don’t buy the intentions, and look at ‘consequences’ as testimony of true intentions. This is also how I came into contact with Jacob Nordangard, who had published his Phd research, and other researchers. Before you know it, there is simply no way of going back to ‘the old world’.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

I lost writing positions in various national magazines, with various excuses. The magazine of the national biology organisation NIBI ditched me in 2010 after 10 years, accusing me of being too opiniated, while I just could not work on in the old way: citing an ‘authority’ in a field as entry to your story. Maybe I already became too much of a blogger. Others that I published for in many years said I was a bad writer. Though some of it might be true, because I often put too much information in too little text. But then a day later several leading book publishers coincidentally called and said ‘write a book for us because you are a good writer’. So there is bad writers and bad writers. I was ditched by a rightwing magazine in 2018 after years of publishing, when reporting about the 2030 Agenda. The editors just simply did not understand the scope of the agenda, because ‘quality’ magazines are used to focus only on national politics, maybe a little on Brussels but they ignore the whole circle around that of the UN, WEF, and the whole globalist-internationalist cabal.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

COVID19 destroyed the relation i had with my oldest brother from early childhood onwards. Since 2020 he does not want any contact with me. Ofcourse by then, i did not believe a word of the whole narrative, and unsuccesfully tried to warn others about that.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

There’s just too many mentors in my life, that have strengthened my vision. For example my scientific mentor, the chemist and theologian dr Jaap Hanekamp, my good friend Marcel Crok, Jacob Nordangard i mentioned, my African Kung Fu teacher, but also the fishermen I worked with in my quest to expose the lies of the ‘green’ movement that wants to destroy their livelihood. They taught me how to be a ‘classical’ normal person, caring for your community, land and family, instead of being someone who only works in theory, and who cares more about abstract strawmen like ‘the environment’ than your backyard and loved ones. Really, there are so many good people out there that God places on your way- once you take the step out of the dark side into the Light- to make you grow personally and spiritually so that you can be an example for others. I even met my wife Afke through this journey. Her father already in the seventies did comparable research on globalism, and the apocalyptic utopianism involved.

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

I discovered that it was a spritual journey, especially the COVID years, when the Apocalypse of Saint John (13 16-18) was played out in front of us, Not being able to buy or sell, without the mark. It made me take The Bible more seriously, if only in the knowledge that globalists and their societies know their Bible just as well. You do not need to ‘believe’ it in the sense of ‘accepting nonsens that cannot be proven’, but you experience that the metaphores used in Scripture play out before you. I came out a better and happier person.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

I combine writing and research with physical exercise in Nature, then go out in the afternoon, drink my craft beers before diner and relax with my wife. We have our own online shop with products, our own beer Strijdt, that our subscribers buy to support work. This makes it less dependent on donations, and in the mean time we build up an army around our Frisian philosophy ‘Liever dood dan Slaaf’.

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

I use an evolutionary methodology, combined with Aaron Wildavsky’s ‘But is it true’. At first you do not know anything but read works of people who know more, check footnotes, build up own knowledge, discover what consensus and dissent are until you see the repeating pattern.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

I was brought up with the idea of the internet being a free intermediary of exchange. My blog Interessante Tijden that I started in 2017 is open access for everyone. I rarely pay for subscriptions, and although i ask for donations in support and have received a considerable amount of support for research work from great donors, I believe personally that charity should not be the main source of income of a writer. My books sold well, my beer is doing well, and building your brand in a commercial sense is in my opinion a better way to survive than relying solely on subscriptions. We are also not allergic to adverts, and think that what is now ‘alternative’ will turn mainstream, because more and more people just do not believe the MSM and switch to alternative sources.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

The hidden costs of an independent media platform is that it is your personal baby, that you invest more time in it than is commercially good for you. You get a ‘pro deo’ attitude too easily, expecting sometimes to your own financial detriment that working for ‘the good cause’ wil pay itself out some day, which need not be the case.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

AI has made both research and writing in English tremendously more easy, which you can see in my upcoming book on the interconnected worlds of the financial system and the UNFCCC climate policy system. You can so much more easily find primary sources, so I never use google again. It also helps you summarise own writing for the reader’s clarity and in correcting grammar.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

It depends on the topic that i am researching. For crash courses into the financial world I found this guy of lockstock Finance, and a week ago I found a great interview with economist Richard Werner on the Peter Mc Cormack Show. There’s simply too much out there that is informative, to single out one person, although we should honour our classics that drew us in, like James Corbett.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

If i’d tell you that, it would not be a secret anymore.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

My upcoming book on the interconnection between ‘climate’ and the financial system, which will be published in English and will be my international debute. Our new Frisian craft beer that we bring out at Halloween, and much more.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

My goal has always been satisfying my own curiousity. I do not believe in societal improvement, but I do believe I can improve myself, become a better person created in the image of God that can inspire others to do likewise in the pursuit of the True Good and Beautiful.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

The Globalist cabal will implode, like all utopian ideals have since the French Revolution, simply because what they want to achieve is a world that they as human beings and their families do not want to live in either. Nevertheless, just as in the past, they will do a lot of damage and the worst has yet to come before it corrects itself.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

Current secular society is a product of the French Revolution and gnostic ideas, based on the false notion that ‘liberty’ is a natural state you acquire (just like the Net Zero CO2 agenda wants to put us back in the stone age) by destroying all obstacles to it, from authorities to institutions. True liberty is achieved through discipline, practice, the help of mentors, and can only be valued when there are borders, limits. There is only liberty within limits, not because I ‘believe’ it but because i found this by experience, and others have before me. I therefore believe in healthy pessimism, and think ‘optimists’ are a plague to society.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

Noblesse Oblige. Our elite has turned into vulgarity, adopting the revolutionary ‘optimist’ spirit, instead of trying to act in the ‘Image of God’ that spiritual man is called to be. Just look at Trump, but in essence all ‘leaders’, they are no moral examples or strong persons that could serve as mentors that you entrust the important task of leading a nation into a state of ‘doing less harm’. Elite should lead by moral example.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

Stop improving ‘the world’ and improve yourself, your capacities and especially your capacity to love the persons given by God in your care, be it your wife, daughter, parents if you still have them, care about the real world in the here and now and defend them as custodian.

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know
Nico 369 Lumineer

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

I am Nico, originally from Australia and currently based between mainland Europe and the United Kingdom.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

My background spans over three decades as a creative and consumer strategist in commercial advertising, including stints at major international agencies and running my own independent digital and marketing agency for five years. Alongside extensive consulting across communications, PR, and corporate strategy, I spent time as a licensed football agent. I am also a UK-published author, having also written a four-volume short story anthology and a spy thriller novel due for publication in December.

Leveraging my investigative background across consumer behavior, strategy, and psychology, my work today focuses entirely on independent research and building 369 Lumineer. I dive deep into primary sources, stripping away institutional spin to examine how power, media, and history shape the narratives we are fed.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

The topic we’re consistently not allowed to discuss honestly and openly - and which forms the foundation of my work - is how official public consensus is systematically manufactured across media, science, history, and technology. Specifically, the mass censorship and algorithmic suppression of independent research and dissenting viewpoints online. Even more specifically, how Big Tech and Big Corporate collude to control what we’re allowed to see, read, and question under the label of “misinformation.”

If you question the foundational premises of these narratives using primary sources and comparative analysis, you aren’t met with debate. You’re labeled, sidelined, and algorithmically suppressed so your work disappears. I’ve had multiple social media accounts cancelled under vague “community guideline violations” for doing nothing more than holding up historical texts against official orthodoxy.

This matters right now because genuine inquiry demands looking past the daily theatre to see how public perception is manufactured and managed. When simply asking questions becomes professionally dangerous, open thought rots into blind obedience. Unpacking this machinery isn’t about playing the contrarian - it’s about tearing down the institutional spin, demanding the hard evidence, and refusing to swallow their ideology.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

My scepticism didn’t happen overnight; it was built in layers. Throughout my teens and early adulthood, I grew naturally suspicious of the news because it was always the same relentless cycle of fear, death, and destruction.

That early suspicion was later reinforced when I spent years working inside the commercial advertising industry. When you’re actually inside the machine, you see how the trick is pulled - how messaging is engineered, how human psychology is leveraged, and how public perception is deliberately manipulated.

It also got another sharp jolt in 2017 when I saw firsthand that media landscapes and cultural realities could look and feel vastly different across regions, from the narrow lens I had been exposed to in Australia. Those cumulative experiences laid the foundation long before any major public crisis arrived.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

The real catalyst was geographic contrast and crisis. In 2017, travelling through Europe opened my eyes to how vastly different media landscapes and cultural realities were compared to what I had been fed my entire life. That cracked the door open, but late 2019 kicked it off its hinges when we were suddenly bombarded with endless, wall-to-wall media panic and “heavy sales” over a global virus.

Between 2020 and 2022, being trapped in Melbourne with my family during some of the most draconian restrictions on earth sealed it. Living through those laws made two things blindingly clear: first, that we were being lied to on a mass scale; and second, that Australia, Melbourne specifically, was acting as a testing ground for curated media narratives and control mechanisms meant for a global rollout - a reality that continues to this day. That’s when stepping out of the mainstream and building an independent platform became my only option.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

Stepping outside the consensus exacted a heavy toll on both my professional career and daily life, splitting my world cleanly into professional friction and personal isolation.

Professionally, the reality of forced mandates - vaccination requirements, curfews, distancing regulations, and mandatory masks - forced me into a corner. To keep working and surviving while refusing to comply, I had to resort to creative alternatives, finding ways to bypass institutional restrictions just to navigate daily life under heavy-handed rules.

Personally, the fallout was severe. When we openly stated we weren’t participating in the global ruse and remained unvaccinated, my family and I were immediately isolated. Many friends and family members ghosted us entirely for refusing to play along. Even to this day, most of those people still refuse contact.

And this wasn’t just isolated to covid.

That isolation spilled directly into my public-facing writing and independent work during the same period. As I began disseminating and promoting the truth around history, legacy media, politics, etc - several people unfollowed, and multiple social media accounts were cancelled. The psychological pressure from the surrounding environment was palpable. I even had a close friend approach me under the guise of being "concerned about my mental health.” It's a textbook example of what I call the Matrix's "flying monkeys” - the social enforcers and "Agent Smiths" acting on behalf of the system to police non-compliance.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

The friction in my personal relationships didn’t just come from taking a hard line during the lockdowns; it really deepened as my work evolved into 369 Lumineer and I started aggressively pulling back the curtain on institutional narratives.

When you dedicate your life to uncovering how information, history, and media are manipulated to manufacture public consensus, it changes how you move through the world - and unfortunately, it changes how people look at you. Former corporate colleagues and old acquaintances who are deeply embedded in conventional systems often found my writing confronting, if not outright offensive.

Some simply drifted away because they couldn’t stomach the cognitive dissonance. Others actively distanced themselves once the Substack posts and deep dives started tackling topics the mainstream refuses to touch. But when Football for Sale dropped and exposed the global sports machine, it pushed those on the periphery completely over the edge, cleanly severing any remaining connection. More than a few panicked, warning me, “Be careful what you say about FIFA. You know how powerful they are.”

Stepping into this role acts as an absolute filter. You quickly learn who values genuine, critical inquiry and who prefers the comfort of polite compliance. The circle gets smaller, but the people who remain - and the community built around the work - are real, grounded, and anchored in truth.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

I didn’t have a mentor or a specific guide leading me down this path; it was entirely self-directed out of sheer necessity. Developing that self-awareness means realising nobody else is going to pull back the curtain for you - you have to do the gruelling, unguided work yourself.. Of course, early on, I looked at the ”big names” in the alternative space - figures like David Wilcock, David Icke, Alex Jones, Max Igan, and Stew Peters. But over time, my perspective on them has shifted dramatically. In fact, I’ve grown deeply sceptical of high-profile alt-media figures like Icke, Jones, Igan and Peters simply because they’re still operating out in the open, largely untouched by the global elites. If you’re genuinely rattling the cage at the highest levels, the systemic response looks very different. And remember, David Wilcock is no longer with us… allegedly.

Today, rather than looking for guides, I look for peers and inspiration among the ecosystem of independent thinkers, investigative researchers, and content creators building on platforms like Substack, Rumble, Patrion, and beyond. There are countless sharp, uncompromised truth-seekers out there doing the hard yards.

Which brings me to a critical blind spot in the alternative space: the trap of the silo versus the collective. The elite power structures love nothing more than a fractured opposition. They’re comfortable with all of us acting as isolated, independent voices, each shouting our own version of the truth from our own little corner of the internet. Screaming into the void. It keeps us weak and manageable. But the moment we stop warring over minor differences, join forces, and speak with a unified, cohesive front - that’s the precise moment the system’s control grid collapses.

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

There’s a side to this journey most people don’t see - specifically, the real-world operational friction you run into the moment your work actually rattles powerful cages..

When Football for Sale was published, it wasn’t just ignored - it drew immediate attention from the top. Within a couple of weeks, heavyweights from FIFA, UEFA, and several top-tier global football clubs started tracking my digital footprint, particularly on LinkedIn. As our marketing and promotion for the book escalated, so did the digital surveillance.

It got to a point where corporate censorship wasn’t even subtle. LinkedIn became entirely hostile territory for me - to the point where I have since abandoned the platform altogether, recognising it for what it is: a corporate network deeply tied into the global elite machinery. It wasn’t about paranoia; it’s just basic logic. My question is this: Is a quiet word or a backchannel call from FIFA to Microsoft executives completely unrealistic? Absolutely not at all.

The result was an aggressive, surgical shadow ban. Overnight, my articles and book extracts - which routinely pulled in around 80,000 impressions per post - were choked down to barely cracking 100. You don’t need to be a genius to see the machinery at work. Linkedin – who could’ve seen that coming?

That experience is precisely why I keep my face hidden during certain interviews and podcasts under 369 Lumineer. It’s not out of fear - it’s a calculated, protective measure for my family against an establishment that punishes exposure. But let me be crystal clear: the gloves are entirely off now. I’m done playing by their corrupted rules, and I refuse to be intimidated by corporate middlemen, institutional gatekeepers, or any of the grifting bureaucratic puppets running interference for the global elite - whether that’s LinkedIn, Microsoft, FIFA, BlackRock, or anyone else trying to pull the strings.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

My day starts completely grounded - no screens, no algorithms, just a slow morning with a proper coffee. You have to protect those quiet rituals before you step back into the arena.

By mid-morning, I shift straight into the heavy lifting of investigative work. For about four hours, it’s pure research, deep-diving into primary sources, structuring arguments, planning, and drafting pieces for 369 Lumineer. It requires absolute focus because you’re untangling complex webs of institutional power, history, and media narratives, and you can’t afford to be lazy with the details.

Then, I force a hard break. You can’t stare at corruption and manufactured consensus all day without losing your mind, so I step away to actually experience life - walking to the beach or the lake, putting on music, cooking a meal, or reading something entirely unrelated. That balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

After dinner, once the home settles, I switch gears entirely into fiction and creative writing for another four hours - usually longer. Diving into narrative storytelling is a completely different kind of mental space, but it’s where a lot of my deeper creative work happens.

People ask how I sustain it, but this is a full-time, round-the-clock, seven days a week commitment now. I spent over three decades trapped inside the corporate machine, working myself into the ground for systems that chew people up and spit them out. Once you finally see the light and break out of that matrix, you realise you can never go back. Not in this lifetime.

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

When you’re operating outside the mainstream media echo chamber, your methodology has to be airtight. You don’t get the luxury of relying on agency wire feeds or curated corporate talking points. My approach is that of a traditional investigative journalist: follow the raw primary sources and trust nothing at face value.

A massive part of the work is heavy, methodical desktop research - digging deep into publicly available government document websites, filing Freedom of Information submissions, and tracking down the unvarnished paper trail that officials would rather you didn’t look at. Crucially, I spend a lot of time digging into pre-1906 historical texts. If you want to understand how the architecture of modern control, finance, and institutional power actually operates today, you have to look at how it was built before the modern propaganda machine was fully automated by Rockefeller, Morgan and Peabody.

Where applicable and necessary, I make the calls, speak directly to sources, and dig beneath the surface of specific topics.

Above all else, it comes down to a relentless discipline: I fact-check. All. The. Time. In this space, one loose thread or unverified claim gives the gatekeepers the ammunition they need to dismiss your entire body of work. Separating the signal from the noise means verifying every single data point, cross-referencing sources, and refusing to cut corners just to chase a headline.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

I do support other creators, but with a practical filter: I invest in subscriptions and resources where I deem the material genuinely relevant, rigorous, and newsworthy.

The reality of this craft is clear to anyone actually doing the work - independent writing and investigative research won’t fund a lavish lifestyle. We aren’t backed by corporate syndicates or billionaire patrons, which means I have to be deliberate and careful about where my funds go. Full-time independent writers are all caught in the same economic predicament. Support from the community isn’t some luxury perk; it’s the lifeblood that keeps the flame alive and pays the bills.

That mutual ecosystem of community backing matters deeply to me. At the same time, let’s be realistic about the effort required: when an investigation takes weeks or months of gruelling, copious research to uncover, those deep-dive pieces are paywalled. That isn’t about locking away the truth - it’s about honouring the sheer volume of work it takes to pull the curtain back. But I never use aggressive, manipulative sales tactics to force readers in. If they see the value in the heavy lifting I’m doing, they choose to support it. That relationship has to be built on mutual respect, not coercion.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

When people see an article drop or a piece published, they see the final product - the words on the screen. What they don’t see is the quiet, grinding overhead required just to keep the lights on outside the corporate grid.

There are the obvious financial costs, of course - securing uncompromised hosting, encryption tools, and operational tech that doesn’t feed data straight back into Big Tech’s data-harvesting machine. But the heavier costs are entirely invisible. It’s the sheer weight of isolation. When you walk away from the corporate machinery and stop playing by their rules, you lose the built-in social safety nets, the casual professional networks, and the automatic validation that comes with just keeping your head down and following the herd.

There’s also the mental and emotional toll of carrying the information. When you spend days pulling back the layers on institutional corruption, elite control grids, and systemic manipulation, you can’t just clock out at five o’clock and forget about it. It changes your worldview permanently. You carry the friction, you manage the quiet background anxiety of digital retaliation or algorithmic suppression, and you absorb the strain so your family doesn’t have to bear the brunt of it.

People always ask me why more people don’t step out of the matrix. It’s because the system makes the cost of exit intentionally high. But take it from me: once you accept those costs and decide you’re done playing their game, the peace that comes with absolute independence makes every single bit of it worth it.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

When it comes to my workflow, I draw a hard line: I refuse to use AI - specifically Large Language Models - for anything other than a glorified search tool. Because fundamentally, that’s all they are.

I don’t use them to generate prose, draft arguments, or think on my behalf. In fact, I’ve written extensively about the destructive nature of these tools. They’re actively eroding our ability to think critically and even structure our own prose. And my core argument is that this isn’t an accidental bug; it’s a feature. A dumbed-down society is a compliant society, and a compliant society is easily controlled, managed, and manipulated by the very institutions we’ve been talking about.

That doesn’t mean I’m a blanket technophobe or that I object to technology or AI as a whole. There are practical pros and cons to any technological leap. But we have to wake up and understand its underlying purpose, ensuring we use technology to better ourselves rather than outsourcing our minds to corporate algorithms.

In fact, I’ve even been accused on occasion of using AI to write my work. Interestingly enough, that accusation almost always comes from people who aren’t actually proficient in the art of writing themselves. When you’ve spent over three decades mastering the craft - honing your voice, structure, and pacing - you don’t need a machine to speak for you. When people throw those accusations my way, I just show the receipts. Honestly, I almost take it as a compliment, because we all know what these LLMs are trained on: they’re scraping the work of genuine writers and distinct writing styles just to function.

It’s a subject I track closely. I even have a dedicated space on my Substack website focused entirely on AI, alongside substantial thought pieces and deep-dive notes exploring how these systems are reshaping human agency and societal control.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

When you spend your time digging through primary sources and institutional archives, you naturally keep an eye on who else is out there doing uncompromised, rigorous work. There are three independent researchers and channels right now that I follow closely.

One independent researcher I’ve come across recently thanks to you, is Geoffrey Edevane. Watching how he operates - positioning himself as an investigative researcher and digital forensics expert - is refreshing. When he drops an exposé, like his current deep-dive work tearing into Candace Owens, he doesn’t rely on speculation or talking points; he comes with receipts, and lots of them. It’s that kind of meticulous evidence-based tracking that keeps me inspired.

Another creator I respect a great deal runs the YouTube channel My Lunch Break (driven by Kenny Lowden). Like me, he values a degree of privacy and prefers to keep the focus entirely on the material rather than personal branding. The way he aggressively pulls back the curtain on architectural anomalies, hidden history, and the physical footprint of the world around us is brilliant - no holds barred, just raw visual investigation.

Closer to home, Santos Bonacci is another fellow Australian whose work I follow. His deep knowledge of astrotheology and how it maps out the ancient structures of elite bloodlines and hidden power structures is nothing short of fascinating.

These are the minds and researchers I track intimately - people who aren’t chasing algorithmic trends, but are doing the actual, grinding work of exposing how things really operate.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

People often imagine this kind of work as an endless slog through dark archives, heavy corruption, and grim institutional rot. But the best-kept secret of day-to-day life as an independent researcher is actually the sheer intellectual thrill of the chase.

When you start pulling at a loose thread in an official narrative, you never quite know where it’s going to lead. One minute you’re investigating a corporate paper trail, and the next, you’re tumbling down a fascinating tangent into hidden history, ancient texts, or a completely unexpected structural anomaly. Learning new things every single day - following the evidence wherever it actually goes, completely unrestricted by corporate editorial guidelines - is deeply exhilarating and rewarding.

The other side of it is the duality required to survive this work. People ask how I maintain my sanity while looking at how the world is manipulated. My secret weapon is the ability to completely switch off. When I close the laptop, I’m back on earth - cooking dinner, walking by the water, or spending time with family. You have to be able to step out of the matrix to stay grounded.

And finally, there’s the genuine privilege of the connection at the other end. Being able to take weeks and months of gruelling research, distill it down, and share those insights with an audience of sharp, critical thinkers who are actually eager to listen and challenge the narrative - that’s what keeps my engine running.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

One thing I’ve noticed recently on Substack is a shift in how people consume information. A lot of readers simply don’t have the time to sit down with a sprawling, long-form essay - even though many of my widely read Notes take up just as much reading time. To bridge that gap, I’ve been heavily promoting the 369 Lumineer multi-part series format.

So far, I’ve published deep-dive, three-part series tackling massive, hidden structures including global consumerism, the diamond cartel, the adult entertainment industry, the vehicle registration scam, and the gambling industry. They’ve resonated exceptionally well, so I’m currently lining up several more. The research behind these is gruelling - sifting through mountains of data, distilling the noise, and structuring a narrative that exposes how these systems actually operate takes weeks of heavy lifting, which is why splitting them into structured parts works best.

Beyond the written work, I’m continuing to record regular podcast episodes for The Luminary Room, alongside a few carefully selected guest interviews coming up in the near future.

Ultimately, my core mission hasn’t changed: no industry is safe, and the focus is entirely on exposing the unvarnished truth. Over the years, I’ve spent my time dismantling multi-billion-dollar corporate pillars across health, AI, history, science, and sport (or what I call the modern “bread and circuses.”) That work isn’t slowing down. If anything, I’m just getting started.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

My ultimate goal isn’t to build a brand, chase subscribers/followers, or carve out some comfortable niche in the alternative media landscape. If that was my objective, I would have stayed in the corporate machine.

My real objective is disruption and awakening. I want to shatter the illusion of institutional competence and tear down the comforting consensus that people have been spoon-fed by corporate and state gatekeepers their entire lives. Whether I’m exposing the mechanics behind global sports cartels, financial powerhouses like BlackRock, or the digital control grid, the aim is to give people the raw facts, the historical context, and the unvarnished truth so they can see the matrix for what it is.

More than anything, I want to help dismantle the silos that keep independent thinkers isolated and weak. The elite power structures survive because they keep opposition fragmented. If my work - and platforms like 369 Lumineer - can help spark a unified, collective front of critical minds who refuse to comply, refuse to be intimidated, and refuse to play their rigged games anymore, then my mission is accomplished. I’m here to strip away the theatre, expose the machinery, and help people take back their own minds.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

First, mass migration and demographic friction are shaping up to be the defining flashpoints of our generation. We’ve already witnessed significant civil unrest spark across parts of Europe - look at the deep fractures and protests in the past week in France, and the ongoing unrest in the UK. That isn’t slowing down. It’s a pressure cooker, and as economic instability deepens, institutional powers will use that exact unrest as the pretext to clamp down harder on civil liberties, expand police powers, and justify a heavier security state under the guise of public safety.

Parallel to that, we’re fast-tracking straight into the digital panopticon. The infrastructure is being rolled out in plain sight: CBDCs, mandatory digital ID frameworks, and the corporate-bureaucratic blueprint of 15-minute cities. This isn’t about convenience or efficiency, no matter how they try to spin it. It’s about total behavioural tracking, financial programmability, and centralised surveillance.

The strategy of the elite is clear: manufacture crises through mass migration and systemic instability, offer the digital panopticon as the “solution,” and condition a compliant public to trade whatever remaining privacy they have for a false sense of security. Recognising that script is the first step to refusing it.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

If you want to say something that makes people deeply uncomfortable, it’s this: most of what the public regards as organic political conflict, cultural division, and historical accident is actually a carefully managed theatrical production.I’ve said this thousands of times across several platforms.

The vast majority of society still operates under the comforting illusion that our institutions - whether it’s mainstream media, global financial bodies, major political parties, or international sports organisations - are fundamentally well-intentioned entities that just occasionally make mistakes or suffer from incompetence. People want to believe that if we just vote harder, elect the right face, or reform the system from within, things will course-correct.

My profound conviction - backed by decades of corporate experience and historical research - is that the system isn’t broken. It’s functioning exactly as it was engineered to function. The endless culture wars, the engineered financial crises, the manufactured geopolitical flashpoints - they’re all designed to keep the population perpetually divided, reactive, and easily managed.

When you realise that the opposition is often as managed as the establishment, and that the primary goal of modern governance is behavioural compliance rather than public welfare, your entire perspective shifts. Most people recoil from that truth because accepting it means letting go of the safety blanket of conventional reality. But once you see the machinery behind the curtain, as I have, you can never unsee it.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

If I had a direct line to the technocrat robber barons, the corporate criminal cartels, and the puppet masters sitting comfortably in their glass towers pulling the levers of global control, I wouldn’t waste my breath trying to negotiate or reform them. You don’t negotiate with an apparatus engineered to consume human agency.

I’d leave them with the exact reality check Neo delivers at the end of The Matrix - a direct warning to the architects of the control grid that the jig is up: “I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.“

Because that’s what’s coming. The illusion is fracturing, the receipts are out, and no amount of censorship, digital ID grids, or institutional spin can stop it. These crime syndicates built their sprawling cage of control across every industry, and when the walls finally cave in, they’re going to rot in the very prison they designed for everyone else.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

Stop outsourcing your thinking, stop waiting for permission from the gatekeepers, and start looking at the primary sources.

The entire system relies on your passivity. It counts on you being too tired, too distracted by the bread and circuses, and too intimidated by the sheer scale of the apparatus to question what you’re being told. But the moment you decide to stop consuming narratives and start demanding receipts - the moment you look past the corporate media spin, pull on the loose threads, and think for yourself - the illusion loses its grip.

You don’t need their validation, you don’t need their digital IDs, and you certainly don’t need their permission to be a free human being. Do the gruelling work, protect your mind, find your people, and refuse to comply.

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know

Ben Butler

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

Ben Butler, from Cambridge, UK, currently residing in Cambridge, UK.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

Computer aided Design and Manufacture, Worked within the Automotive industry for a while, now mainly occupied by a national tour of the UK raising awareness about the 5G weapons network. My day job is Gardening, landscaping, handyman work, fixing things and building. Currently building a Sauna, but have also run businesses as an engineer for a street food business and generally making workflow more efficient wherever I go.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

5G is one of the most overarching topics of our time, which seems to be involved in all other topics somehow, from ”climate change”, ”Disease”, Animal illness, supply chain issues, 15 minute cities, trangenderism and demonic possession... All roads lead to 5G. I feel that one of the most important of these topics is demonic possession, because although that may not be the way that everyone frames it, the takeover of the body of man happens through the mind, and therefore it is easy to see that the mind is under attack using 5th generation weapons technologies and that as a result the bodies are being userpt.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

Being arrested for disabling weapons technoogy being rolled out illegally in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. I already was outspoken after being an observer to the Scamdemic, I watched for many months, not posting, not talking out loud. Eventually after meditating on it for some time realised that there really is only one option, which is to speak up.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

Scamdemic finished whatever faith I left off, but felt it for sometime before. Realising that the scamdemic was only a part of the process and being given the dealine of 2030, I realised that the time was now to step into my power and to act on my thoughs.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

Lost many friends, family, but gained so many more! Closed up businesses, had a win with crypto, stopped working for anyone, started working for myself and serving others wherever possible. For many months I just went into a kind of healing mode… Pushing away work and just doing whatever I had to to heal my body and mind.

Yoga, Meditation, Plant medicine, Sound healing, Fasting, Enemas, different diets, just anything that would heal my nervous system from all the drugs and abuse I had previously subjected myself to.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

Brothers who won’t speak to me, friends who have disappeared into the shadows, got married, stronger relationship with those who stuck around (wife for example).

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

Mark Passio, Chris Paradox, Henna Maria

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

The situation is always evolving and there are somethings in the background which I haven’t yet brought to the public, but mostly everything that I have done is known. I would say that they don’t yet now that if I wasn’t doing this I would be teaching about spiritual practices, energy healing and guided fasting. The tools that I have been shown to come back into my body and back into myself.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

Podcasts, landscaping/gardening, giving talks, a million side projects, spending time with my wife. Always busy building something, or disarming weapons ;)

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

Listening to podcasts, substacks, articles primarily then looking into concepts and primary sources from there (patents, papers, documents). Meditation is a great part of seeing the larger picture, becuase to see how things link up you have to get outside the blinkered vision of or personal projections. Trusting in the body and what you feel is one of the strongest things when speaking Truth, because it’s more than half the story. In this information age there is so uch information that is false that you eventually have to have a level of trust in what your talking about… You can’t rely on modern day Science to give you Truth for example, there is always a coefficient of Truth.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

No not hugely, I support people every now and then when I feel called though I don’t like monthly payments, it keeps me on the hamster wheel! I also am not a hugely high earner so prefer to give when I get a pay out every now and then.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

Sacrificing ones own future, everyone in this game is in courts, writing legal documents, and investing large amounts of time to their cases – in this sense I am not an exeption, and it’s difficult to work a 9-5 while doing this. Mostly you will be taking a pay cut from my experience.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

I often use AI to find legal information for document writing, but use it as sparingly as possible, I try to bring my own writing in as much as possible. More time consuming generally but I like to still work my authentic creativity. Though it also is handy to use to mimic an attack on your work or evidence for future debates… It always pays to be prepared in this game where people are being paid to take you down.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

In all honesty, I don’t have many, since the police took my MP3 player which I used to listen to endless podcasts on I haven’t been listening to much. Though I enjoy Tin Foil Hat Podcast, Mark Passios endless work, Mark Steele, Mel Kate, Kris Brooks (LSB Productions).

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

I chant mantra more than most things each day.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

Over the coming months I will be interacting with the police to try and get a court date, giving talks and taking further action! I also have felt the calling to bring some of my listeners into meditation days, teaching them how to escape the cell of the police station through escaping the cell of the mind.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

Raising awareness, both in the community about 5G telecomms companies and technology, but also within the system about the criminal complicity of the national/ international projects. I would like to bring people to a larger awareness of the impact of their spiritual work. That often the work in the physical world comes second to the alignment of the body and mind in peace. Peace > Joy > Love > Peace > ect...

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

In the dualistic physical realm, I can see that the cracks are becoming more visible in the illusion, and I feel that many will be joining the sanity of calling out corruption and government overreach to the point where those tricksters will simply have to yeild to the consciousness of the people.

From a non-dual perspective It is a game of consciousness, I see this playing out that people start to realise that all the is in our control is the understanding of being present, loving and peaceful – yet ready, willing and fearless to take action in mind, body and soul... This ”warrior-saint” energy will then not allow space for the nonsense to continue.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

One-ness, non duality, non linear

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

Life is ForGiving, not ForGetting.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

You never know what will happen if you take that leap, you know exactly what will happen if you don’t.

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know Michael Ginsburg

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

I was born in what is now Belarus and lived half my life in Israel. Have has been calling Australia home since 2002.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

I hold a Master in IT and a graduate certificate in cybersecurity (as well as a bunch of industry certifications) and have worked in various aspects of technology my entire adult life. This was primarily tech consulting and tech auditing (including in the “big 4”).I also worked for almost a decade in digital marketing and have run my own agency for a while.

Following my “awakening” during Covid, I thought I could add a unique perspective to the conversations happening in the alternative/independent media space which is why I started Actionable Truth media.

However, adopting a STRICT policy of “no advertisers, no sponsors, no affiliates, no investors...NO EXCEPTIONS!” means I cannot sustain myself so far through this type of work (unfortunately) so still do contracting in tech and digital marketing but now do that exclusively for small business owners and solopreneurs.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

I think these days most taboos have been broken when it comes to the Alternative Media space and anything and everything is on the table and can (and does) get discussed.

However, there is also a downside to that due to the “flood the zone” phenomena which results in many people who consume alternative media becoming overwhelmed and scattered.

From my perspective, the ONE topic which deserves the most focus is the roll-out of digital ID around the world. I refer to that as the “FINAL enslavement” because if that roll-out is successful, it is GAME OVER for free speech and any other freedoms (e.g. bodily autonomy) for everyone everywhere regardless of their race, political views or religious beliefs.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

It has been quite a journey and a process. I describe it in great detail here.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

Without a doubt, it was the Canadian Freedom Convoy and especially the extremely over-the-top (and outright violent) response by the Canadian government of the day. This was my personal “crossing the Rubicon” moment.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

When the vaccine mandates started in Australia, most cybersecurity firms chose to enforce it (either due to their own choices or because their clients had them in place). This resulted in me being effectively locked out from that industry and even after the mandates have ended, I did not want to come back to it as I was (and still am) disgusted by this industry and everything it has come to represent.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

I am very lucky that my family and most of my friends are on the same page as me now so there wasn’t too much of a negative impact.

As far as former colleagues, they don’t want to have anything to do with me now, especially since I have become a lot more vocal and “extreme” (supposedly) in my views.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

There were a lot of independent thinkers and dissidents I trusted and even admired when I first started on this journey.

However, since coming to the realisation that the alternative media space is FULL of bad actors and controlled opposition (both witting and unwitting), I have adopted the stance that:

• Personalities do not matter. Only the TRUTH does!

Saying that, I do very much respect the work of long form investigative journalists like Whitney Webb and Iain Davis, the academic rigour of David Hughes and the meticulous sourcing of James Corbett and try to model these aspects of their work in my own content.

I may not always agree with these people on everything but I know they are diligent thinkers who are careful to present conclusions only after conducting in-depth independent research and are being guided purely by FACTUAL information.

I also appreciate and try to model the mantra of the late conspiracy researcher William Cooper:

“Read everything, listen to everybody, believe NOTHING unless you can prove it with your own research”

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

Growing up in Israel, I was an avid Zionist until my awakening.

My views on that have changed dramatically as a result of:

• What has transpired in Israel during the Pandemic as described here and here;

• The events of October 7 which I have written about extensively; and

• This documentary which was nothing less than a life changing experience for me...which is not a term I would ever use lightly.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

There isn’t such a thing as a “typical” day anymore but it is usually a mix of doing client/contract work and work relating to Actionable Truth Media.

This involves prepping for or recording podcast episodes, Actionable Takes (which is content I usually paywall) and conducting research for various investigative reports I am working on. I usually have a few of those on the go at any one time and quite often it can be as many as half a dozen (or even more) simultaneously.

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

It’s actually quite simple:

1. I rely exclusively on primary source material; and

2. If I can’t prove it using primary source material, I don’t present it as fact.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

My plan from the get-go was to allocate 20% of all the net income (i.e. After I cover my expenses) from Actionable Truth Media into supporting (genuinely) independent voices and creators...provided they do not put out any AI slop.

Unfortunately, Actionable Truth Media has never had positive (or even zero) net income ever but I do hope it will change one day. Despite that, I do support a few creators with one-off donations.

I also used to support several Substack authors but since their fiasco with “age verification”, I refuse to support financially anyone through Substack given it means Substack themselves (and thus their major investors a16z) keep 10% of every dollar and it is my open stated intention to do everything in my power so that Substack ceases to exist! I explain my reasoning in detail here.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

IT is a cost (web hosting, maintaining an email list and various video editing and live streaming tools) and while there are ways to significantly reduce those costs (which I actively & aggressively do), this cost will never be zero or anywhere close to it.

The SINGLE MOST significant cost however is TIME. Long-form investigative journalism (which is the bulk of my work) takes a MASSIVE amount of time, both in terms of research and putting together the article itself. The time I put into this means I cannot use it for other activities (i.e. Earning money through other means) so the opportunity cost is very significant.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

My stance on AI is VERY clear cut and some may even describe it as ‘extreme’. It can be summed up in these points:

• I DO NOT use any Large Language Models (LLMs) or any other AI for research, sourcing or verification purposes;

• I DO NOT use Generative AI (GenAI) for creating videos, audio or images.

• I DO & WILL deploy any technical solutions that are available already, or become available in the future, to at the very least block AI crawlers and will gladly participate in any initiatives and collaborations to intentionally “poison” AI at scale.

I will use AI to transcribe or translate video or audio but that’s about it.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

The alternative media outlets and content creators I follow today are very different than the ones I followed when I started my journey into this space or even when I first “woke up” so to speak.

Amongst the more well established names in this space, I appreciate and still regularly consume the work of Unlimited Hangout, Geopolitics & Empire, Johnny Vedmore, Kit Knightly at the Off-guardian and the Corbett Report (although I don’t always agree with James’s conclusions/takes on various matters).

Other names I follow are David Hughes, Maryann Gebauer, Collapse Life, Gabriel of Libre Solutions Network and of course my colleague and friend Ursula Edgington, who I collaborated closely with from basically day dot.

Over the last 18 months or so, I have also learnt to appreciate greatly the work of William Cooper and especially his (now legendary) radio show “The Hour Of The Time” which I aim to make more accessible to people by uploading as many episodes as a I can find as podcast episodes. Like with the other names I mentioned, I may not agree with the late Bill Cooper on everything but I very much appreciate the level of diligence and rigour he applied in his work and also the fact he had no issues admitting when he was wrong or was intentionally mislead. This is a very important character trait for any dissident as far as I’m concerned.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

I am not just a “keyboard warrior” and am actively involved in various freedom orientated initiatives in my local community.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

I want to expand significantly the production of Actionable Take episodes but given the immense amount of time each one of those takes to research and put together, including the associated show notes with all the references and resources, I can only do that if there is more financial support for that.

I am also still trying to set up a truly independent freedom-oriented full fledged broadcasting network (with its own platform and underlying infrastructure) as I outline here.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

I want people to TAKE ACTION rather than consume information passively and doom scroll.

I’ve outlined my vision on various aspects of governance and society in many pieces I’ve put out (with this one being just one example) but ultimately I am not married to any of those ideas or profess that they outline the only path forward.

I don’t claim to have all the answers (or even any answers) or know all the right questions to ask for that matter. I just want people to take concentrated and focused ACTION and do that collectively as this is the only way to move the needle in my opinion.

This is the ultimate reason for me doing what I do with Actionable Truth Media and this is also reflected in the name I chose for my platform.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

We are at the ‘closing act’ of a plan that has been almost a century in the making under its current name (being Technocracy) but ultimately has been in place almost since the dawn of man.

There are only two possible scenarios as I describe in great detail here: Humanity prevails or is enslaved forever.

The latter means that Homo Sapiens will no longer exist and will likely be replaced by Homo Deus (Transhumanism).

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

I believe there is only one way the story can end for anyone involved in planning, orchestrating, executing and covering for what is the great democide in (known) human history. Anything less than that is not real justice as far as I am concerned.

This belief is reflected in the profile picture I have had on Substack for over two years now and in this t-shirt I sell in my Merch store.

I used to hold the view that the same outcome should apply to all the family members of the perpetrators or at the very least, forcefull measures should be put in place that their bloodlines are cut and do no go beyond the current generation but no longer hold that particular view.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

Get your affairs in order. We KNOW what you have done (and are still doing now) and you are not coming out of this alive.

To paraphrase the famous quote from the Gladiator movie: “We WILL have our vengeance, in this life or the next!”

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

I want to echo again the approach expressed so eloquently by the late Bill Cooper:

“Read everything, listen to everybody, believe NOTHING unless you can prove it with your own research”

Or in my own words: There is a reason why our species is called HOMO SAPIENS (“thinking man”). THINKING for yourself and forming your own opinions is literally the price of admission to be part of our species!

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know Dr. Ursula Edgington

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

I’m a British-born educationalist, who emigrated to New Zealand with my husband in 2013. For over ten years I’ve been an academic-in-exile, a blacklisted whistleblower, a part-time freelance adult tutor, an environmental activist, researcher and writer. I’m also a musician, domestic beekeeper and a dog-lover...

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

I’m from a working-class background so unsurprisingly, I left school as early as possible with no meaningful qualifications. Inevitably, I spent the next 15 years of my life moving from one location/job to another, hotels, sales, insurance, admin, merchandising etc, thinking ‘there must be something more to life than this?’… As a result of one of our relocations, I joined an evening class to ’make new friends’ where I caught the learning bug. I went on study p/t at the University of Warwick, obtain teaching quals (ESOL and PG)…then as tutor (‘sociology of health’) at a UK tertiary college I completed a Masters in Lifelong Education (Nottingham Uni). Later I won a scholarship to complete my PhD in educational psychology (Canterbury Christchurch), which focused on the potential harmful surveillance strategies applied to teachers in tertiary sectors (Edgington, 2016). As a lecturer in teacher-education programmes in universities in England and later in New Zealand, I published my research and presented at many international academic conferences.

Ten years ago, I saw corruption, discrimination and poor-quality teaching and learning at my institution, so I felt a duty to call it out. As a result, I became a victim of what I now recognise as the toxic university’s Corporate Playbook (Smyth, 2017): I was ignored, gaslit, bullied, harassed and finally subjected to lawfare and forced out (with a gagging clause). I didn’t realise at that time how, in the small population of NZ, I would subsequently become blacklisted for any academic/teaching role. So since then, I’ve gradually come to terms with the loss of my professional identity, my vocation in teaching and my connections with students and colleagues. The double-whammy was when covid hit even my unpaid teaching and research roles, for instance as volunteer tutor in a local prison, were unfairly ended, because of the covid ‘vaccine’ mandates.

In 2022 I completed a Masters in Legal Studies at the University of Auckland because I needed to better understand the capture of our judicial systems. Most of my time today is spent writing, researching and balancing the somewhat solitary moil of a dissident with rewarding jobs that enhance our self-sufficiency within nature.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

New Zealand is a land of myths, some of which were ruptured thanks to globalist Jacinda Ardern. Today, many professionals, including teachers, nurses and other professionals who were mandated out of their vocations because of the covid vaccine mandates are still getting gaslit, excluded, ignored and blacklisted. Six years is a long time, and these are innocent people who donated their lives to caring for others, and whose skills are urgently needed in our communities right now. Their voices deserve to be heard and respected. Here’s a recent article about one case.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

I wouldn’t say I am ‘in’ the alternative media landscape’ but I do try to contribute to it through various trusted channels. My original transition began when I arrived in New Zealand – because of my toxic experiences in the university I was working at, I was forced to come to terms with some of the harsh realities. Most New Zealanders are warm, generous kindly folk. But NZ culture suffers from extensive fraud, corruption, anti-intellectualism, nepotism, bullying and Tall Poppy Syndrome.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

In 2014, I investigated the decades-old policy of aerial poisoning with 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) throughout New Zealand’s landscape and waterways. Like many others, I recognised this catastrophic form of ‘pest control’ to be one of the longest and most significant acts of ecological vandalism in the world. It was hidden in plain sight behind one of the most expensive PR campaigns in the world: ‘Clean, Green, 100% Pure NZ’. I was naively convinced (as many of us have since also experienced) that if we just pointed out the facts from the science that policymakers would see the truth and the environmental harms would stop. Ha ha! I had no idea how powerful the BigChem Corporate Playbook is. I was Committee member in the PeoplesInquiry2020.nz which received multiple submissions of evidence of harm from decades of this poisoning. In 2019 after our local mountain, including our town’s drinking-water reservoir, was aerially poisoned for the seventh time in twenty years, I realised that much of the ‘safe and effective’ mainstream media narrative was - and is - a lie. (Here’s one of my articles about that environmental harm with links to info).

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

When I was still lecturing at a university, I assumed that at least some (one?) of my academic colleagues, would support me when I called out the corruption and sought change. I had worked closely with these colleagues and believed we shared a passion for high-quality, student-centred teaching and learning – I considered them friends. I was shocked at the time when not one colleague stood up to management bullies. Unions too were simply corporate puppets. And since I was banned from Linkedin in 2022 for sharing an article from the BMJ that was counter-narrative (Godlee & Abbasi, 2021), I have not heard from any of my past connections.

So, in some ways, my ‘professional career’ ended ten years ago when I stood up to try to expose the extent of the universities’ corruption and discrimination. But in some ways, that’s when my career actually began. My family background, my teaching in healthcare, my PhD research into the marketization of education and teacher-surveillance, my experiences with corrupt academia – it’s as if I was born for this era.

My daily life now is unrecognisable compared to back then, I don’t publish in academic journals, I rarely get asked to peer-review, I don’t travel overseas, my teaching is via an agency in workplaces and my research outputs only have a relatively small audience. But I don’t regret that sacrifice, which is necessary in making a stand against tyranny. I do enjoy many aspects of the freedom my new role allows, which includes creative ways of raising awareness of the propaganda and censorship around us. From gardening workshops to music concerts, we all play a part every day in preventing (or at least delaying) the globalists’ plans.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

Without going into too much personal detail, my family was never close – geographically or emotionally. But like most people, our families have become even more disconnected and divided because of the covid era policies, censorship and propaganda. Illness and bereavement add to our frustration, anger and grief.

As to my former colleagues, there is only one I am still in contact with. But I have made connections with new colleagues all over the world, whom I am proud to trust and respect because they have also stuck by their values and principles and sacrificed their professional identities in exchange for speaking truth to power. You know who you are!

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

Like many other independent thinkers, I used to listen/watch to presenters who I now recognise are not really ‘freedom fighters’, but actually just spouting a different kind of propaganda. For instance, I used to support and contribute to UK Column News, and Voices for Freedom’s RCR in NZ, but after investigating these entities’ financial interests, I decided to focus on more authentic media platforms. David A Hughes’ article about ways to identify Camp 2 is extremely useful when careful discernment is needed.

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

Maybe my dream? I’d love to facilitate the use of a physical building locally that could be an independent library, music hall and centre of authentic learning.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

I prefer mornings - my labrador always ensures she’s fed by 6am. I do my exercises, undertake any household chores, walk the dog and like to be home with a coffee at my desk by 9am to start work. I have a target of writing 1000 words a day – a throwback to my PhD days when self-discipline in writing is essential. Even if it’s rubbish, get it down on paper and edit it to something more meaningful later.

Most of my work is unpaid, usually I’m in a mentor-type role, supporting fellow dissidents in practical projects, writing reports, submissions, letters to MPs, complaints, articles, homeschooling meetings, networking. I also deliver (or help facilitate) community or workplace workshops. For instance, interactive sessions called “How to break up with your phone” and ‘How to be your own factchecker”.

My limited paid work is sometimes via private training agencies which can involve supporting apprentices (virtually or in person) in trades or healthcare complete their coursework and/or gain communication and leadership skills. Sometimes timing and funds for these contracts are flexible enough for me to add a session that helps chip away at a student’s cognitive dissonance.

We live a rural life here, so the change of seasons plays a significant part of my daily activities. These could include - cleaning/feeding my chickens; inspecting my beehives; feeding my lambs; preparing homemade products; harvesting and maintaining vegetables; moving firewood…and more. Because of our time zone, sometimes the beginning or end of my day is punctuated by an online meeting with overseas colleagues (or podcast interviews).

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

I think my ‘old-fashioned’ academic training allows me to delve deep into the original sources and ignore that ‘noise’. Not having any presence on social media is a blessing – not only to prevent unwanted, unnecessary distractions, but also to go into some subjects completely blind to the existing narrative/headlines. I owe much gratitude to those in my network who have provided insights into technology that helps with seeking online resources. But I do miss not having easy access to a comprehensive academic library – that is one of the biggest challenges to anyone seeking an independent learning environment in this era.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

Over the years I have, but now there are very few individuals I financially support. When Substack began its age-verification roll-out for Australians in Dec 2025, I took advice and moved my work and weekly newsletter to subscribers to my private website. This was also a significant personal shift – up until then, my personal ‘dissident’ life was somewhat separate from my ‘professional’ education consultancy work. After many years of my split personality, it was time to ‘come out’. Now, I am transparent about my activism, and open to any discussion that may emerge about potential tensions with those outside my usual network.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

I don’t really run a ‘platform’ as such – only my website. I also enjoy helping others with their work too. Time is our most valuable commodity. This work is very time-consuming, but luckily, I don’t have too many other commitments, and my costs are helped by kind donations. I am also very lucky to have a supportive husband!

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

I hate any AI and strongly object to its use in any writing or research. I also cringe when I see fellow freedom-fighters using it without the skills needed to dissect its output, which can be hugely misleading and inaccurate. I avoid it completely in my day-to-day workflow. That is not to say that it’s not useful for transcription services and translations – both essential for a lot of my investigations (but still needs checking)!

As an experiment, I did co-author a creative story last year that was based on a case-study that made use of an AI programme. It had an interesting but somewhat disappointing outcome, I don’t think I would use it again in that context.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

I don’t have many anymore. But as a ‘Pom’, I love to keep up to date with current British news, so independent presenters like Sonia Poulton and Richie Allen are wonderful daily or weekly ‘radio’ type shows to catch-up with whilst I undertake my chores. I think David A Hughes’ work is extremely valuable and deserves more readership – I watched the interview series you did reviewing his excellent book Wall Street, The Nazis and the Crimes of the Deep State which was very unusual in that you engaged deeply in the content. There’s not enough of that on any media platform today in my opinion – too much ‘noise’ and long, boring, repetitive and shallow conversations, not enough of intellectual engagement with uncomfortable truth.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

Alongside my other ‘dissident’ activities, and self-sufficiency projects, I am chair of a local non-profit music group which organises concerts (mainly classical, easy listening too) at a local church. For over fifty years the groups’ mission is to bring high-quality professional musicians to the local community for a reasonable cost. I strongly believe that bringing people together, face-to-face, to enjoy music in an informal atmosphere like we do, is crucial if humanity is to survive the assault of technocracy. If your subscribers have a similar group of volunteers in your local community, please do support them!

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

I’m working on a number of projects now, including writing about a particular element of the fight against environmental poisoning in New Zealand that should be published soon. I’m continuing to work with teachers and nurses who seek accountability after the covid era, some of which is connected to the imminent NZ General Election in November. I’ve also been invited to present at the forthcoming Omniwar Symposium with David A Hughes and international colleagues. The theme of this fourth online event is something I’ve been investigating for the last six years: “The Capture of Academia”. And very timely after the public controversy of Jason Arday at Cambridge University.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

I’m an educationalist by nature, so I continue to try to raise awareness of the strategies of propaganda theory, the addictive nature of BigTech, the surveillance machinery around us and the censorship of truth.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

My home country seems to be on the verge of civil war, which I find heartbreaking. However, that situation has been a long time coming and was one of the reasons why we left in 2013. Here in New Zealand ‘the phantom of the Five Eyes’ is in dire straits economically. With a small, sparse population with high levels of personal and national debt, the supply chain of food fuel is going to have a very damaging impact on everyone. The 2008 GFC did not disturb NZ lifestyles too much, hence many people are blasé about the potential risks all around them. A housing markert crash is just beginning and long overdue. Those of us even slightly ‘prepared’ for what is ahead, could face extreme difficulties in trying to help those who remain in denial about the situation.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

That most of what is broadcast on legacy media is propaganda in some form – either in fake-news or infotainment.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

Most people are NOT psychopaths. But in my experience, those in positions of power are often promoted above their competence level and insecure in their roles. The strategies of reaching the propagandised are based on love, forgiveness and ego. Unless individuals can find some humility, they cannot let go of their professional identity - it’s too painful. The admiration that goes with their roles is too valuable to them to let go of and face the uncomfortable truth.

So my message to them would be to spend a day or more with those who are less fortunate than themselves, and to be authentic in addressing the challenges that brings. Maybe then, those individuals can humbly accept that they were wrong and only then can any accountability begin.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

Turn off your Tv or radio, encourage others too. Be aware of the risks from becoming addicted to your phone – see the tips for overcoming that here. Make efforts to socialise face-to-face with people and remember this is a long marathon, not a sprint – chip away at the cognitive dissonance with questions and eventually truth will win.

Welcome to this very first Dissident Crossfire, where we bring together some of the sharpest, most uncompromising minds from around the globe to strip away the official narratives. Today, I am honored to be joined by an incredible panel.

Presentation of the Dissident Crossfire Panel

Hrvoje Morić

First, we have Hrvoje Morić with us from Mexico—a seasoned independent researcher and geopolitical commentator on his podcast Geopolitics & Empire. Having lived and taught globally, Hrvoje uses his platform to look past the mainstream headlines and break down the macro-level strategies of the New World Order, focusing on the systemic agendas that threaten national and individual sovereignty.

Johnny Vedmore

Joining us from Wales is Johnny Vedmore, an independent investigative journalist, writer for Unlimited Hangout, and host of the NEWSPASTE webpage and podcast. Johnny is a meticulous historical researcher and a leading expert on the background of Klaus Schwab and the networks of Jeffrey Epstein, specializing in pulling back the curtain on global elitist networks and exposing the hidden architects of the technocratic rollout.

Ole Dammegård

Next is Ole Dammegård, an internationally acclaimed investigative journalist, author, and one of the world's foremost experts in decoding global false flag operations and high-profile political assassinations. Since his awakening in 1980, Ole has dedicated his life to breaking the codes of state-sponsored terror and deep state playbooks. Despite facing severe cyberattacks and death threats, he has conducted over 1,400 interviews and built an incredible 8-terabyte independent research vault. Today, he balances his relentless investigations with a strong focus on community, training a new generation of 'Dammeguardians' while also building Selalu with his wife, Kim—a physical sanctuary for like-minded souls in Bali. Go to LightOnConspiracies.com to learn more.

Dr. Ursula Edgington

Joining us from rural New Zealand is Dr. Ursula Edgington, a British-born educationalist and independent researcher. After blowing the whistle on institutional corruption a decade ago, Ursula was blacklisted from academia, leading her to transition into hard-hitting systemic critique while building a self-sufficient life focused on localized community resistance. Ursula keeps a lot of valuable material on her website Informed Heart/ursulaedgington.com.

The Dissident-Voices interview with Dr. Ursula Edgington will be published on Sunday, September 27.

Michael Ginsburg

And finally, joining us from Brisbane, Australia, is Michael Ginsburg, a former cybersecurity expert and the founder of Actionable Truth Media. Born in Belarus, raised as an avid Zionist in Israel, and a former IDF soldier, Michael underwent a profound awakening during the pandemic, walking away from his corporate tech career to focus on unfiltered investigative journalism and concrete, real-world action—most notably by sounding the alarm on the global Digital ID rollout.

The Dissident-Voices interview with Michael Ginsburg will be published on Sunday, October 4.

I am Flemming Blicher, your host for this exclusive meeting of the minds. However, I rely entirely on your support to keep this podcast going. For that, I WANT TO THANK YOU!

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know Dr. Jacob Nordangård

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

My name is Jacob Nordangård. Born in Jönköping, Sweden, in 1968, I have been based in Norrköping, Sweden, since 1997.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

I hold a Ph.D. in Technology and Social Change from Linköping University in Sweden and have worked as a senior lecturer at the universities of Linköping, Stockholm, and Jönköping. Since 2020, I have worked full-time as an independent researcher, author, and CEO of my publishing company, Pharos Media Productions. My wife and I recently renovated a venue in Norrköping, where we will host lectures, interviews, and seminars about world developments.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

The Climate Governance Commission recently advocated that the UN General Assembly should issue a “Code Red for Humanity” and set up a large-scale, “real-time” monitoring system to manage the Earth System. If this becomes a reality, it will have devastating consequences for human freedom.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

I started to investigate the Peak Oil theory in 2004. This opened my eyes to how the energy market works and which actors are involved. In 2006, I investigated the science behind climate change and found out that it was mostly based on climate models and not hard data. In 2009 (during my Ph.D. studies), I wrote a working paper about how the climate issue became anchored as an important issue for the EU to handle. I was surprised to find out that the heirs to the Standard Oil empire had held a key position since the 1950s in making anthropogenic global warming a major scientific and political issue.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

I don’t think I ever have totally subscribed to the mainstream narrative. But one of the decisive moments for me was when I realized in 2006 that there was no real evidence to validate the theory of global warming.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

It was not good for my career. I became more isolated and had few people to discuss the matter with at the university. As soon as I started publishing material about my discoveries, the atmosphere began to sour. This became particularly evident when I had to part ways with my supervisors, as well as during and after my doctoral defense in 2012.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

I have maintained a good relationship with my old friends and my immediate family, but I have virtually no contact with my former colleagues.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

I first started reading Michael Ruppert’s Crossing the Rubicon—about 9/11 and the oil wars—in 2004. This was followed by William Engdahl’s A Century of War a couple of years later. I also listened a lot to Alan Watt's podcast, Cutting Through the Matrix, and James Corbett’s The Corbett Report. Professor Antony C. Sutton was another early inspiration. I came into contact with his former co-author of Trilaterals over Washington, Patrick Wood, after he published Technocracy Rising in 2015. He later helped me reach an international audience through his Technocracy News website. Catherine Austin Fitts, who wrote the foreword to Crossing the Rubicon, has also provided a platform for my work

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

Nothing else I can think of. I have described it in various interviews and written an autobiography about my “inconvenient journey” which covers most of it.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

I spend the first hour after waking up doing the accounting. Then, I dive into answering emails and reading the latest news, followed by research and writing articles or presentations. During our breakfast break, I usually have inspiring discussions with my wife. We have also recently spent time renovating our new venue. Operating it will occupy more of our time in the coming years. Finally, I try to go for a walk every day to clear my head.

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

I mostly investigate first-hand sources and official political documents. In the case of my Rockefeller book, I downloaded all the annual reports from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and read a selection of autobiographies. I leave it to others to speculate.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

Unfortunately, I have not had the means to support others financially, apart from ordering art from independent artists, but would love to be in that position soon.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

I run a publishing company. It comes with a lot of expenses for accounting, bank fees, and postage. Now we also have a venue to pay for.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

Minimal. I don’t use it for my research or making images or anything. I have hired a real artist to do illustrations for my books.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

I have great respect for David Hughes and Debbie Lerman, with whom I am now collaborating on the Omniwar symposium. I sometimes also listen to Per Shapiro’s Swedish podcast Folkets Radio, and I really appreciate Hrvoje Moric’s Geopolitics & Empire.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

If I tell you this, it won’t be a secret anymore. ;) But I wouldn’t say I really have any secret activities that come to mind.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

This autumn is about getting the venue up and running. Today we decided to call it “The Lantern”. I will also participate as a speaker at the Dutch conference “Bevrijding van Bedrog” in September followed by the next Omniwar symposium in mid-October. Apart from that I intend to keep researching and writing and to publish an extended edition of my autobiography.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

I want to educate and inform people about the global agenda and how those in power operate behind the scenes to manipulate us into accepting their plans. If more people understand how these operations work, they are less likely to succeed.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

The world is moving towards a scenario involving a third world war, intended to usher in the new world system, and ending the American Empire.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

In my case, I assume it comes down to the theory of anthropogenic global warming being incorrect.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

Your control system is doomed to fail. Everything you do only makes your own situation worse. We see and understand what you are up to.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

Realize that you have the power to create a better life for yourself. Step out of the digital prison cage and do real physical stuff. Find like-minded friends, be creative, and try be a role model for others.

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know Ole Dammegård

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

Ole Dammegård, born in Copenhagen, Denmark, now living in Bali, Indonesia.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

Former journalist, independent researcher, author, international speaker, musician, composer, and inventor. Right now I mostly focus on creating Selalu, a sanctuary here in Bali for Light-Minded and Light-Hearted friends.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

I would say more or less all areas of real truth. At this point, I trust absolutely nothing coming from official sources. Whatever "they" say is true, my normal reaction is to take a close look at the opposite side, since there might be something of value there—especially if "they" are trying to ban it.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

I kept a very low profile until 2009, when I became a regular—and very hard-hitting—guest on Talk Radio Europe, based in southern Spain but reaching more than 60 countries. Then I "disappeared" again until 2012, when I went full speed ahead and became known as "the hardest-working man in alternative media."

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

In 1980, the very first time I saw the so-called Zapruder film, it became very clear to me that the official JFK narrative was an obvious lie. And if ‘they’ could cover a massive case like that up, what else were they capable of?

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

I have had to change countries twice. I have been shot and almost killed several times, received death threats, had very unpleasant visits and endured massive cyberattacks, censorship, and the shutdown of many of my channels.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

Some love me for what I have been doing. Others think I am a crazy cult leader suffering from a Jesus complex and wanting to save the world. It has been a rough emotional journey.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

Mike Ruppert, Chip Tatum, Cody Snodgres, Jim Marrs, Judyth Vary Baker, and, to a certain extent, David Icke in the late 1990s.

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

No idea—it depends on who you ask. I have been very open about everything, including highly sensitive matters such as my parents' double life connected to NATO.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

I check my website, email, and social media, and if I am sent anything of real value, I make sure to download it as soon as possible, since this type of information is very often deleted within a few days. It is then added to my massive research vault, which now contains around 8 terabytes of material.

I am also in the process of completely rebuilding my incredibly large website, which has long been a goldmine of information but difficult to navigate and has been blown to smithereens multiple times through attacks. It is now very close to running like a Ferrari. I am incredibly grateful and happy about that.

More recently, I have taken a step back from doing interviews—around 1,400 seems enough for now. My sweetheart Kim and I are instead focusing on creating Selalu, organizing upcoming Bali retreats, and doing our utmost to help people both locally and around the world.

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

I have been like Rainman for decades, specializing in finding hidden clues in the forensic evidence on crime scenes around the world, pointing to upcoming planned false flag attacks. But nowadays, with the entrance of AI in on stage, it is very very difficult to know what is real and what is not. This is also the main reason I have taken a step back, since I don not want to be pat of spreading information, that might not be true.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

Nothing. I follow no one, but I try to help anyone in need.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

Especially when I have been under heavy technical attack, it has been extremely emotionally draining and very costly. The attacks can be highly sophisticated, and I have repeatedly had to hire really skilled webmasters to restore both the website and its database.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

I have only recently started working with Claude Code, which has been incredibly helpful. The costs of keeping my website healthy have gone down drastically. I am very grateful, although I also have a slightly strange feeling inside, since I don't really know who—or what—I am dealing with.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

I don't have any.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

I don't believe in having secrets, nor am I hiding.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

Selalu, upcoming Bali retreats, and educating a new generation of so-called Dammeguardians—Protectors of Truth and Transparency.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

World peace and transcending into Oneness.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

No idea.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

That we live in an inverted, upside-down reality. We are being told that we are failing as human beings because we are not happy in what is presented to us as paradise, while in fact we are going through a very tough spiritual boot camp in what might actually be hell. Our real Home is on the other side.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

It is time to stop the madness and heal the world with love.

Grow a spine, find your backbone, and step out of the machine.

Let the truth become visible so it can do its true healing. Transparency is key.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

Stop whining, start shining & Peace for President.

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

See you next Sunday!

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know Johnny Vedmore

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

My name is Johnny Vedmore. I’m a Welsh long form investigative journalist, musician, videographer, and many other things, based in Cardiff, the capital of Wales.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

I am a jack of all trades, however, my investigative journalism is unique in its independence. I am very skilled at discovering things which no one else can find. It is pretty simple. Whenever I look to investigatie a subject, I find absolutely everything I can, I put it in chronological order, and the story always tells itself. This allows another level of trust in the information as the story is told as objectively as possible, with then an authors note on the way out. I have a complicated back story because I was brought up in the 17th century, in an English Civil War reenactment organisation called the Sealed Knot. So much of my youth was spent on 17th century campsites and battlefields with up to 8000 people fighting with cannons, horses muskets and swords. At home I worked in hotels when I left college. I have written for UK Column, UnlimitedHangout with Whitney Webb, and I now have my own site NEWSPASTE. I am an expert on Jeffrey Epstein, Nicole Junkermann, J. Stanley Pottinger, Peter Thiel, Klaus Schwab, Elon Musk, Henry Kissinger, and many more intelligence linked manipulators of our society.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

One of the biggest undiscussed stories of the here and now is Epstein’s long-term funding of John Brockman’s Edge Foundation, the training of the Technocratic Elite via the organisation, and, most of all, what they were focusing their attention on.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

In my childhood I was groomed by a very evil man. The abuse was sustained until I told my parents. The police then asked me to give evidence against him to secure a conviction and told me that, during the period that he was grooming me, he was abusing a 3 year old. After I gave evidence, he got probation and was, soon after, allowed to be around me again unsupervised. I felt failed as a child and that bubbled throughout my adult life, where I wanted resolution. What I experienced in my own situation was that everyone around me, failed me eventually.

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

When I got to my mid 30s, I had been left a mess and I had spent a decade suffering from an extreme version of Graves Disease. After radioactive treatment, and then serious throat surgery I was left wanting to check out. I had always been left wing, my family had, I was from a mining community in South Wales, however, I now understand that Third Way Politics was purposely laying waste to the left, and that the agenda to destroy the integrity of the left had been going for years. I got to a “mushroom hiatus” for three months and I came out the other side a journalist. I had always been researching, I had just never been writing.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

I have had a vast array of people trying to destroy me, in every sense. Because I refuse to bend over, I am constantly harassed and targetted in a range of ways. This includes people threatening me, offering me bungs, offering me bribes, faux jobs and intelligence agents attempting to penetrate my personal life in various ways.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

It has ripped large parts of my life to shreds at every level.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

At first, I put my faith in the likes of James Corbett and Jason Bermas, but, after my unique experiences, I put my faith solely in the integrity if the information because there is an all pervasive intelligence-led 5 Generation War being waged.

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

I’m a super open book. I do not hide anything. So, I don’t really know what could possibly be unknown.

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

Complicated. My articles are Magnus Opus investigations which sometimes take months and even years to research. I also make a lot of video content, I am a little bit of a Police Auditor, and general public videographer, I presenrt the NEWSPASTE Podcast, and some other shows, I make music, including musicals related to my work. I start off with a coffee and see where the day takes me. I’m super well motivated so I’m constantly onto the next thing. Everything unfolds as it it should, methinks. At the moment I’m writing a few books, most developed from my different serials. A lot of time is spent on website, editing, posting, mastering etc etc.

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

Absolutely everything I can find in chronological order, the story tells itself. I save my opinion for the end. I also helped research for One Nation Under Blackmail with Whitney Webb under the same ethos.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

I can’t afford to do anything but build NEWSPASTE right now.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

Everything. The many subscriptions and extras needed to run a webstie is ever increasing and you can only do as much as you can afford in many respects. But also the extra time which will never become accounted for. We work ourselves into the ground because overwise we don’t get heard.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

More and more these days. Some tasks which used to take months now take hours. Whenever I can use ingenuity to better what I do, I’m in.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

The History Homos Podcast.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

Coffee consumption.

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

5 books, 2 very late stage.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

Justice.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

The Left Wing being purged to remove the UK Labour Party to the centre of politics.

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

Raccoons to be indigenized to Britain.

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

I know.

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

If you accept that they co-opt both sides to control any dialectic, then why do you keep choosing one side or the other? You can’t both accept your cage and call it freedom. See that the Establishment is two sides of the exact same murderous coin.

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

See you next Sunday!

QUESTIONNAIRE: Getting to Know Hrvoje Morić

🎬 Intro & Background

1. What is your name, where are you from, and where in the world are you currently based?

My name is Hrvoje Morić, I’m originally from Chicago, and am a proud national of the United States, Croatia, and México. At times I’ve tended to float around the planet, but currently I’m based somewhere in México.

2. What is your professional background, and what occupies most of your time today?

I have an undergraduate degree in History and Education from Northeastern Illinois University, followed by a stint in Mongolia as a Peace Corps volunteer, then went on to obtain a graduate degree in International Relations from the Geneva School of Diplomacy. Previously, I have taught high school and university at one of the top institutions in México (Tecnológico de Monterrey) and Kazakhstan (Nazarbayev Intellectual School). From 2022 to 2024 I hosted my own live daily show on TNT Radio. Since 2024 I have been working full-time, for the first time in my life, on my Geopolitics & Empire Podcast, which had its genesis in 2012. Up until 2024 Geopolitics & Empire had been a moonlight hobby.

🤐 Taboo of the Week

3. What is a mainstream media topic, or an overlooked story, that you believe we are not allowed to discuss honestly—and why does it deserve our focus today?

I might suggest the use of new AI technologies in the World Cup matches. In my opinion, it is another normalization of technocracy.

Otherwise my main topics of interest are globalism-world federation-world government (the regionalization of nations a la EU) and algocracy-technocracy.

🧭 Becoming a Dissident

4. When and how did you transition into becoming an outspoken voice within the alternative media landscape?

In the early 2000s I “went down the rabbit hole”, going through all the motions of 9/11, Alex Jones, G. Edward Griffin and the Federal Reserve, deep politics (e.g. Daniele Ganser, Peter Dale Scott), you name it, etc. I spent a number of years reading voraciously and watching countless documentaries.

I would say also that the Bible and prophecy was my conspiracy gateway drug as a teenager. I first read the Bible in its entirety three times repeatedly and consecutively from cover to cover. Prophecy teaches that one day a dark force, a beast, Satan, will subjugate the entirety of humanity which can only logically imply some form of world totalitarian government or dictatorship.

By the late 2000s you can say I was maturing into a dissident, especially during my time in Geneva 2008-09. I was able to get a glimpse of the belly of the beast (e.g. UN, WHO, Lucis Trust). I met more dissidents along the way such as Aymeric Chauprade who had been blacklisted in academia. I had volunteered for Ed Griffin’s newsletter in 2008 and he eventually ended up taking me to lunch when I passed through LA in 2011. In 2012 I started my first YouTube channel “Dissident Thinker” where I Skyped experts into my classroom, the very first being Corporal Jesse Thorsen who had been illegally renditioned to a psych ward by the American secret police. My 2022 podcast guest John Whitehead was the lawyer who freed him. Three years later I re-branded to “Geopolitics & Empire”

5. Was there a specific catalyst or an exact moment you realized you could no longer subscribe to the mainstream narrative?

Yes, in the 2000s, when I gradually learned how the government and virtually all institutions lie about everything. This particularly happened when learning about “false flag operations” and then going through history and finding verifiable academic sources pointing out how so many wars and events were manufactured (e.g. Lusitania WWI, Pearl Harbor WWII, Hitler’s Reichstag and Gleiwitz Incident), Japanese false flags in Manchuria, Northwoods, Tonkin,, JFK, MLK, Gladio, Gulf War, Moscow apartment bombings, 9/11, 3/11, 7/7). I felt it was my duty to push back against the tide of lies and corruption. Since my field and profession happened to be education, I thought I’d do my best in my area and profession, in the classroom. Eventually, podcasting became a natural extension and outgrowth of academia.

6. How did stepping outside the consensus impact your professional career and daily life?

I suppose you could say the first real fun was during graduate school, when one of my professors, who was also a psychiatrist or psychologist, attempted to secretly psycho-evaluate me for simply having a dissident view on international affairs.

Years later, at my workplace in México, I had my university courses taken from me by a new “liberal globalist” department director for one or two semesters. For being a “conspiracy theorist”. Even though I had rave reviews from students. When that department director was promoted and moved on, the replacement department director returned my courses to me.

Recently, I was passed over for a teaching position, even though the school was really impressed with my CV. It’s possible that they took a look at my podcast and determined that my worldview was crazy, conspiratorial, and too unconventional.

I have also been de-banked on Patreon and PayPal by the state (US DHS, and EU NATO). I’ve also received an above average number of secondary screenings when flying back home to the U.S.

7. How has your work affected your personal relationships with family, friends, and former colleagues?

I try to espouse Christian principles and values and I generally get along with everyone, as I’m jovial and enjoy socializing and learning from others. I’ve lived all around the world and broken bread with rich and poor, from yurts in the Gobi to the hall of power at the UN. I generally haven’t had serious issues on the personal level, apart from possibly some acquaintances having distanced themselves from me of their own accord because of their “liberal globalist” religious indoctrination, as I call it.

8. Did other independent thinkers or dissidents guide you on your journey? If so, who stood out to you?

I like to say I’ve interviewed and/or met in person virtually all of my intellectual heroes. Ed Griffin, Ron Paul, William Engdahl, Daniele Ganser, Francis Boyle, Alfred McCoy, Patrick Wood, Krešimir Mišak, Croatian Admiral Davor Domazet-Lošo, veteran Mexican journalist Rubén Luengas, and too many more to name.

Of course, many of the Christian authors on geopolitics, globalism, and prophecy were of great guidance. Gary Kah, Carl Teichcrib, and Martin Erdmann come to mind, who have focused on the new age theosophic world religion and coming world federation.

The influences are many and they include the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some of them I have outgrown, as I feel some have grown too lukewarm over the years and even reversed course or backslid, and others, like Alex Jones, I feel, have made Faustian bargains with the globalist deep state. I have also rubbed shoulders with a few globalists, who only further helped confirm and entrench my dissident views. I met the “father of the North American Union” Dr. Robert Pastor twice when he visited our campus, and I believe I conducted the last living interview with him just before he passed, which is on my Dissident Thinker channel.

9. What is something about your journey into dissent that none of us know?

Honestly, you’ve got me stumped! I don’t have an answer for this question! Basically, what you see is what you get. I don’t really have any further interesting secret to reveal that I know of! Except, maybe...I did accidentally once sabotage an EU meeting as a staff assistant by plugging in my gaming computer (on which I was taking notes) into the outlet which blew the fuse and half the EU representatives were not able to use their monitors and speakers!

🛠️ Dissident Activities & Behind the Scenes

10. Could you describe what a typical workday looks like for you?

Well, basically, I hit the computer when I hit the computer, and then proceed to do twenty jobs in one! Answering emails and messages, checking the feeds, researching new guests, sending interview requests, getting rejected, not getting rejected, doing my homework for the interview (which can sometimes mean reading an entire book), recording the interview, editing and uploading the interview on multiple platforms, cutting clips and doing marketing, producing my weekly analysis, an occasional consultation, giving interviews, finding time to brainstorm to see how I can grow the podcast, etc.

Sometimes things break and I have to spend the day(s) troubleshooting (e.g. internet, power, computer, website, software).

11. What is your methodology when it comes to research? How do you separate signal from noise?

Well, first and foremost I try to stick with as credible a source as possible. And I prefer books, as I take them more seriously. Knowledge I think is easier retained when reading versus other media. I also like to have multiple sources that are credible to confirm a single thesis or theory or fact.

I also believe many people go to extremes, one end of the spectrum being “mainstream” and the other end being “fringe conspiracy woo woo”. Often I find the truth being nuanced and somewhere in the middle. If I’m uncertain, I’d rather remain uncertain than force myself to pick a side.

I try and look at the bigger long-term picture of events and our final destination (e.g. technocratic world federation). I pay less attention to daily news cycle issues, particularly related to culture wars or migration, as I find them to be more noise, and rather focus on the seminal events moving us toward a world system.

12. Do you invest significantly in subscriptions or support for other independent creators?

When I was working for TNT Radio on a full-time salary, yes, I made donations to independent media. However, since striking out on my own, unfortunately, I am virtually unable to afford subscribing to anyone else.

13. What are the hidden costs of running an independent media platform that the audience might not see?

Well, my business expenses last year were somewhere around $5,000 USD! Sure, some of it did include office equipment and office furniture that isn’t typically purchased annually, but there is also web hosting, computer hardware, numerous software and social media subscriptions, etc. It’s not THAT simple, cheap, or straightforward to produce a podcast. Sometimes I have to experiment in purchasing new services to try out, and at times I have experimented with advertising which is costly.

Then there is the cost of increasingly becoming a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) for this type of work, as explained earlier.

And the time it takes is effectively the same as a full-time job. Sometimes it can be less, sometimes it’s overtime.

14. To what extent do you utilize AI in your workflow, and do you rely on premium AI tools?

I don’t really conciously use AI. I’m not really enthralled by it. Since most of the core of my work is audio and video conversation as well as writing, I don’t really see a place for AI in that space, which I sort of find sacred. I cannot read AI nor listen to AI for serious learning. AI is fine for short and humorous clips. I am greatly disappointed in the increasing use of AI for writing and audiovisual production by people in the alternative media. I’ve tried, but I simply cannot read or consume their material, my brain freezes, as if it tells me that this is not natural...almost sinful. It is like trying to drink medicine that tastes awful. Not pleasant at all.

I don’t mind using AI for secondary activities. For example, I will upload podcast transcripts which are automatically produced by Substack into NotebookLM which automatically creates a one-paragraph summary of the podcast, which I do have to lightly edit. At times I will also use something like Canva or Grok to create an AI image, but those are not for my thumbnails, rather graphics for the newsletter or articles. I do find the AI Clip Genie very useful, and at some point would love to add that to my website, but it also costs money. I believe AI should not replace the core of your craft. Ultimately, I believe the core purpose of AI will be for surveillance and control. It is the next layer and stack of the military weapon known as the internet.

15. Who are your own favorite dissidents or alternative media channels right now?

I don’t really have a favorite, but generally I’m drawn to those with my similar worldview. Usually, Christian, but if not Christian, whose work overlaps in that area. Currently, these can include: John Lennox, Martin Erdmann, Patrick Wood, Carl Teichcrib, Jacob Nordangard. I’ve been enjoying Nicholas Hagger’s books as of late. James Corbett is stellar. I enjoy listening to Ruben Luengas, Pedro Baños, and Miklos Lukacs in Spanish. And Radio Mrežnica in Croatian, alongside Krešimir Mišak, Luka Goleš Babić, Davor Domazet-Lošo, among others. And in Serbian, channels like Mario Bojić’s Mario ZNA. I learn just as much reading the globalists themselves at times!

The issue is that nobody and none of us gets anything 100% correct, and so I consume a wide variety of material and often find that one dissident has one or a few things correct to my tastes, whereas I’ll disagree with their fundamental worldview (they might be a leftist or new ager), and so I’ll take the piece of expertise and truth they’ve developed, discard what I don’t like about them, and then combine that truth with those of other experts to form a sort of mosaic.

16. What is the best-kept secret about your day-to-day dissident activities?

Coffee?

17. What exciting projects or content do you currently have in the pipeline for your audience?

That depends on many variables that are always in flux. I dream of someday putting pen to paper for a book, perhaps an online course, maybe even a conference, we’ll see. Last year I started a Spanish edition of the podcast which I put on hold, and might be starting up again. But simply, I enjoy the podcasting.

🔮 Looking to the Future

18. What is the ultimate impact or goal you are trying to achieve through your work?

Ultimately, I’d like my work to point people toward Jesus Christ and what I believe to be the truth of the Bible. In light of eternity, everything else is just a meaningless flash in the pan.

19. Based on both your physical location and ideological perspective, what are the most likely local or global scenarios you see playing out in the near future?

I believe that we are and will witness governments continuing to progressively and totally lock humanity down through digitalization, technocracy, and algocracy. To the point we all end up in an electronic concentration camp and algorithm ghetto. Now, this system likely will be imperfect, but that is not necessarily any solace.

Beyond that, nation states will be subsumed and submerged into regional supranational technates like the EU.

From there, the regions will link up to the “overlord” (I’m using the imagery of Arthur C. Clarke’s “Childhood’s End”) and world brain (e.g. UN, Board of Peace, GGI, Bretton Woods, BIS, BRICS, WEF, Bilderberg, Trilateral, Berggruen).

20. What is one conviction you hold to be profoundly true that the vast majority of society would strongly disagree with?

That Jesus is the (only) way, truth, and life!

💡 Closing Recommendations

21. If you had a direct line to those currently holding the levers of power, what would your message to them be?

Have you no shame? How do you sleep at night? We know that you are lying and you know that we know you are lying and we also know that you know that we certainly know you know we know you are lying...but you are still lying! Repent!

22. What is your final piece of advice or recommendation for the audience watching/reading this interview?

Get some spiritual gold (Jesus), have no fear, give ‘em hell. Also, having some access to food and water outside the system would be good, hoarding as many hard assets as possible, and most importantly, maintaining a human social network as big as possible...make friends, be generous, and love one another! And kill your narcissistic egos...the hour is too late to be dealing with toxicity!

23. How can the audience follow and support your work, and which platforms or links should they visit?

Welcome to the Dissident-Voices platform. In today’s media landscape, some of the most capable investigators, independent journalists, academics, whistleblowers, and skilled experts are being overlooked, grossly ignored, and censored.

This channel is dedicated to bringing these professional individuals, who have already proven how valuable their efforts are, into the limelight.

By listening to the interviews, the audience gains direct access to the human behind the hard work, making it possible to form an entirely independent and well-informed judgment.

As a subscriber, you can expect three to four highly detailed, in-depth video interviews every single month, delivered completely free straight to your inbox.

Methodology

My name is Flemming Blicher, and as the host and producer of this platform, I have designed a highly structured methodology to ensure our interviews deliver a true, 360-degree presentation of who these personalities are, their dedication, and the depth of their work.

Before we hit record, every international expert and investigative journalist fills out a comprehensive questionnaire, allowing us to skip the pleasantries and dive straight into the evidence. In every single episode, we confront the ‘Taboo of the Week’—the specific, heavily suppressed topics that public officials and mainstream media refuse to cover. All free episodes are systematically released with full interactive timelines and timestamps, so you can easily navigate and verify the sources yourself.

First Prominent Guests

To get us started on the front line, our first four guests are already lined up. You can look forward to deep, insightful interviews with Hrvoje Morić, Johnny Vedmore, Ole Dammegård, and Jacob Nordangård.

These main episodes will drop free for everyone every single week throughout the coming month, leading up to our very first Dissident Crossfire panel.

Every Sunday you can look forward to watching an interview with these leading dissidents.

August 23 – Hrvoje Morić (Geopolitics & Empire)
August 30 – Johnny Vedmore (NEWSPASTE.com)
September 6 – Ole Dammegård (Light on Conspiracies)
September 13 – Jacob Nordangård (jacobnordangard.se)

Every fourth or fifth Sunday, instead of a new interview, you can treat yourself to the monthly episode of Dissident Crossfire, where recent guests participate in a meeting of the minds featuring three to five great dissident front fighters.

Dissident Crossfire

Dissident Crossfire is our exclusive premium expansion. While the core Dissident Voices interviews are always 100% free for everyone, our paying members get access to this monthly panel, where our guests return to debate topics alongside a live studio chat.

But your first step is simply to join us as a subscriber. By entering your email below as a free subscriber, you will get every main episode sent to you the exact second it drops, giving you full access to the archive, the Dissident-Voices-Chat and the upcoming schedule.
