Rob D I personally whar to thank you for your inspiration in your thoughts they have really made sense in the things you talk about, and I respect that.

I'm a Christian man as well, and the bad things that go on in this Country and the World itself are very disturbing to me. Like for instance our government " in which is a JOKE" of course, is manipulating us as citizens to believe that their laws which they pass are BS, they try their best to get we the people to be brain washed by their stupidity. Rob I'm disturbed by whats going on in the World today, with diapers on people's faces and the SHOT which technically is FATAL, but people that go and get them are only dooming their on selves. I'm a God fearing Man Rob, and it scares me our society is corrupt by leaders who think they are KNOW IT ALLS, when in reality they are dumb as pump handles. Thank you again Rob for every thing you do and say.

Thanks for being here and contributing to The Rumble Strip David! I couldn't agree more with what you said. The good thing? We know that truth and good win in the end. Regardless of what the monsters are deceived into thinking they are accomplishing. :)

First of all, this is excellent, and you have a natural radio voice and need to do a lot more audio! (A minor tip...I used to be a chief announcer way back when in college radio...pull back from the mic just a tad. You're "popping your Ps" - which will be fixed if you don't put your mouth so close to the mic.)

I agree with much of what you said, except I think that we'll be *forced* to care about what's going on with Russia and Ukraine - as the West seems hell-bent on making the situation worse. Every trick they used with covid will be pulled out (and then some) with this new crisis to take more control. This has already started with the bizarre banning of all things Russian (like vodka, even when it's not genuinely Russian).

I also think everything is tied in together, especially with the rumors of Ukrainian biolabs, so I will be covering both.

I've already been canceled on Medium for my vaccine opinions. Well, as I've been now calling out the propaganda stoking the new war, I've become very concerned that the US government might start retaliating against citizens who criticize US and NATO actions relating to the conflict. That I'm even thinking this right now goes to show you that we're already heading into a danger zone...so I'd encourage you to keep your eye on the war ball for this reason.

I don't think nukes are going to fly right away, but I can soon foresee some Internet shutdowns and possibly a massive power grab to control all speech online happening super fast. Russia is rumored to be cutting their ties to the global Internet to control things on their end...or...god forbid they are releasing some sort of horrible trojan software...either way, I think the Internet may be one of the first casualties. Or it may be spotty at best. We'll see.

Thanks! I was s DJ at an independent radio station in another life. I've worked on the popping... but, alas, it's really the quality (or lack thereof) of my equipment.

Yep, the monsters in charge are going to try everything. But, you know, it's really no different than any time in history when monsters wanted to take over the world. The difference this time? A dumbed down and apathetic public with little to no courage and the technology we've become way too used to using. Humans have changed the world in the past using nothing but word of mouth, marks on buildings, symbols in the dirt and, of course, written word. As I've mentioned on other posts... until the mushroom cloud is outside of my window, I refuse to be part of all of this. They convinced me that the second Iraq war was necessary and we are either "with us, or with the terrorists". They aren't getting me this time. I see them too clearly now. And, until they murder me for being non-violent and having an unapproved opinion or throw me in one of their concentration camps I'll be courageously (to the best of my ability) standing steadfastly in truth.

Thanks for doing these pod casts. I get the idea that you are a good man, and the world needs good men.

As an aside, you sound like the actor John Carroll Lynch as The Walking Dead character Eastman.

Where did you go Brian? Haven't seen you anywhere for quite awhile. Hope you are doing well and staying strong.

Hey Rob. It has been rather depressing to keep reading about the hole we have dug for ourselves so I have been refraining from commenting and from reading as much. Getting ready for the coming recession, food shortages, next shutdown (monkey pox or climate or ...) and the like. At times I feel helpless but then I think that if I can survive the next two years or so then I will be alive to continue to fight the crimes against humanity once the first line or two has perished. Dark, sad and apocalyptic I know but that is where I think we are at in 2022.

How are you?

There you are. I'm glad you are still hanging in there. I've been trying recently to start posting more hopeful stuff. lol. It's too easy to stay in the "black pill" mode and people get addicted to it. I agree that being prepared is important as heck. I learned long ago that it's better to be prepared and not need it, then to be unprepared and regret it. My plan is to cross each bridge as I come to it and try and ignore the hypothetical scenarios that play out in my mind, even though I've always had a lot of discernment and have usually been right about everything. We have to try to look for the good though, right? And there's always good around if we look for it. We're hanging in there on my end. Looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. Even though it seems really dim and far away. Thanks for taking the time to check in. I notice when people on my subscription list disappear. :) Stay strong and courageous Brian. Have a great day.

One of my favorite episodes hands down. Let's hope that we don't end up in the same dystopian hell that Eastman and Morgan found themselves in and, personally, I hope my demise is not the same! :-). That being said, Eastman's insistence that "all lives matter" changed several people into becoming protectors of the innocent and staunch advocates for trying to do the right thing. Standing on the side of fair justice for all. Even those who may not deserve it. If something I say encourages just one person to do the real right thing, if my demise is the same, I will consider my life having been worth living. Thanks for the kind words, and I think being compared to Eastman to be a great honor. Even if I just sound like him. ;-)

One of my favorite episodes as well. I found some comfort that someone could find a way to be in control of their own thoughts and actions amidst a sea of death and destruction. So, yeah, like you.
