Friday, Friday Why Are You Here So Soon?
Technically we are still in Summer. Feels like Fall though, yet Cultural Courage has been busy busy
This Week On Cultural Courage
Normally the No Safety Net, No Internet column is about excursions to get out and away, but this past Labor Day my daughter got me thinking on a different wavelength. Some of the best lessons are not learned in the classroom, they come from the unscheduled time away from school. Work during the summer was something I looked forward to as a teen, and my kids did as well. It was time away from structured learning and routine, and the challenges of work made me feel like I was getting closer to being an adult. Money, more responsibility and self reliance were the rewards. And driving.
Labor Day weekends represented the close of that chapter, and my daughter had the same sentiment this recent holiday weekend. On those Monday evenings with my kids, we always found some last minute evening mission to go on to stave off the close of summer, and she as she recalled those times, it conjured up my sentiments toward the end of summer too.
So with the irony of September being the start of school learning, it did represent a brief cessation of life experience learning in many ways. Back to the books and the school rules.
OZFest Recap and Next Week’s Live Stream
This Tuesday OZFest Morning Mission focused on the call for regulation of misinformation. Recent history shows us a thread of developments with the Smith Mundt Act passed in 2012 that altered restrictions on the press and the federal government’s ability to target people with propaganda on US soil. But when you take Operation Mockingbird into consideration, it makes you wonder what other efforts have been in place to control communication, and ultimately, public opinion. It seems that former presidents are not staunch fans of the First Amendment, but are more concerned with democracy.
President Mockingbird, Petulant Warrior
OZFest is the genesis of much of our thinking, and there are several themes that make up the patterns we use for analysis of current issues. It would be one thing to just read headlines, which is, quite frankly, boring and it is what Orange calls an “echo chamber”. Michigan has been ground zero for a lot of erosion of liberty, and we suffered under great restrictions during Covid while being told that our patriotic duty was to fall in line and pretend as though the shortages due to poor decisions were akin to a quasi World War II rally to defeat a virus. Just like our grandfathers helped defend Germany.
We noticed that pattern and how it dovetailed with the concepts of the Great Reset. Healthcare rationing, because of another crisis of overpopulation and climate change, had become justification for limiting the availability of common medical products and food supplies, such as Children’s Tylenol in Canada and baby formula in the US. We have also talked about Land Grab campaigns as well.
Next Tuesday OZFest will revisit that theme with developments from various states where eminent domain is destroying farming. As we have detailed on OZFest many times, the World Economic Forum has plans to redesign energy and food production. And it seems that energy production that requires huge swaths of land will take highest priority, not to save the planet as originally claimed, but for data centers. This will require water. Lots of water. Sadly there are those who have reported this on YouTube who have had their accounts demonetized.
Be sure to catch RBG On The Farm as Morning Mission lays out the trend on favoring renewable energy projects over land ownership. 830 AM Eastern on Rumble:

Coming Up On Sunday Nights Radio
September 11th, 2001 was a tragic day, but it is not the only September 11th that proved to be disastrous for us as a nation. A battle took place on September 11th, 1777. And that loss turned Philadelphia over to the British. The next Sunday Nights Radio will look at the Battle of Brandywine and why we came so close to nearly losing the war. This wasn’t the first time fate did not favor Washington and the Continental Army, but there were some silver linings that fueled later efforts.
Sunday Nights Radio is a great way to reset your head on a Sunday evening, as topics like history, music, philosophy are on deck. No politics - there’s so much of that during the week. Branch out before the week begins.
You can find Sunday Nights Radio 930 PM Eastern at https://rumble.com/ozfest/live
Severed Conscience Podcast Release Today
Two years ago Orange and I released a documentary called Rationed State where we identified planned shortages resulting from policy based on rationing. Healthcare policy in Canada had resulted in common cough syrup for children to be missing from shelves. To disguise the disaster, themes of patriotism similar to World War Two Victory Gardens were invoked. We can see the same themes used during the Covid crisis as well.
In Part One of Return to Rationed State: Planned Shortages, Planned Ballots, we examine a news report from Britain in the 1970s. An expert had the audacity to go on camera and say “you don’t realize that while you can’t get goods on the shelves, there are no shortages”. Does this sound familiar? we also examines the threats from the Kamala Harris campaign to stop price gouging, which rhyme eerily with Red Brigade and Soviet Union propaganda. Yet the World Economic Forum continues to influence our agricultural and economic decisions to the point where the jobs they claim they will create are never delivered. It is slowly shutting down society, a Great Erasure.
You can find our podcast on Apple, Spotify and Spreaker. Many times the ideas we present here as articles find their genesis in our preparations or discussions on our podcasts.
