The centralised ownership of energy rather than decentralised, individual, off grid power generation. And the lack of conversation around the energy needed for the surveillance state, internet of everything and AI which instead is stated as the saviour, but is it?

Jason Christoff runs an international psychological reprogramming institute where he educates on the topics of mind control, behaviour modification, psychological manipulation, propaganda and brainwashing. This information allows each graduate to review their own internal programming, which may be holding them back from expressing their full potential in life. If a graduate discovers that they carry self destructive and self abusive behaviors in their subconscious mind pathway, reprogramming options are explained and provided. With this knowledge, graduates of Jason's program have the capability to review the subconscious behaviours of their patients, clients etc, and reprogram in a similar fashion. 

We discuss the techniques used to control the minds of the population. From fear to ensuring no one is ever uncomfortable and from poison to repetition. The controlling mechanisms are all around us. Once you see it you will see it everywhere, so now you know perhaps you can start to avoid being manipulated.

Born in Chicago, Illinois with a mind for maths Diane found herself in the discipline of accounting. Years later she would find herself in Australia and eventually in the SW of Western Australia where her love of the environment really took off.

Diane served on Albany City Council Council until 2003 and then ran as a candidate for the now-defunct Liberals for Forests, with  a focus on environmentalism and ending the logging of the WA's forests. She was eventually elected in 2017 as a member of the WA Greens.

This is a great conversation about ending logging, ending climate change, ending extinctions growing renewable energy,  growing food, learning from indigenous cultures and increasing regenerative farming. Diane's passion for the environment is inspiring and I'm excited to see where her career goes post politics.

Roman Bystrianyk has been researching the history of diseases and vaccines since 1998. He has an extensive background in health and nutrition as well as a B.S. in engineering and M.S. in computer science. Roman Bystrianyk has published his new book Moving Back from Midnight with co-author Kate Schmutter,available now on Amazon.

Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering graphs, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases. If the medical profession could systematically misinterpret and ignore key historical information, the question must be asked, “What else is ignored and misinterpreted today?”

In this episode we discuss the inoculation experiments, medical experiments and the outcomes for those who were unfortunate enough to be part of the experiments. Turns out, there are many parallels with today and the best way forward might be to live a healthier life, better food, exercise, love, laughter, happiness and time in nature, living as naturally as possible.

Quilen grew up in an ideal setting where he was given every opportunity to excel as he benefited from being a part of a prosperous dual income family, and he took full advantage of these opportunities as he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and became a United States Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand.

From here he decided to do it the hard way, reaching rock bottom, without food and a home yet determined to stick with his mission. Several years later with his co founder and wife Hannah, they formed Chicago Eco House and Southside Blooms organic flower farms using solar power and harvested rainwater. Today, the Chicago Eco House has four farms throughout Chicago and one in Detroit where they hire local youth to make the flowers that they sell.

The business employs local youth, offering alternatives to gang life, improving towns, families and generations.

Growing up in the southern suburbs of Sydney Laura Wells didn't know she could be or succeed at being a model. She also didn't exactly feel comfortable with wildlife. A decade or so later, she is a very successful model for brands such as Garnier and loves animals.

We talk about Laura's accidental entry into the modelling world, her Marine Science degree and using her platform and scientific knowledge to educate adults and children on respecting nature and its systems.

Laura is also on the board of The Surfrider Foundation Australia and continues to campaign against fossil fuel developments in our oceans.

Laura does an amazing job at not taking herself too seriously and while we discuss some important topics in this episode, its very light and casual. I think you'll enjoy this show.

Charlie Arnott is a regenerative farmer from Boorowa in NSW, Australia. I love this from his website - "Charlie considers himself and his team sunshine and water harvesters, soil builders, pasture and animal nurturers, change facilitators, educators, community supporters and Nature partners. With a focus on putting the ‘culture’ back into Agri-culture".

What is really important about this episode and what Charlie does, is to consider that after generations of farming in his family. Farming with ‘conventional’, industrial high input farming, working against Nature he has adapted it into a Biodynamically principled holistically managed farm partnering with Nature.

Charlie and his team host biodynamic workshops, have their own podcast "The Regenerative Journey" and host a YouTube channel. And its all about healthy, happy animals, understanding nature and providing food while respecting the planet and the way we manage the land.

Rob Riddell - I'm pretty well making this up as I go, as there is very little information about Rob online. In short, Rob is a retiree from the UK, Wrexham, Wales to be precise.

After retirement and a marriage break up he decided to travel the world. Well thats not entirely true, he had been thinking about it for 20 years. He then spent a year researching his best route, vehicle and rough plan.

He purchased a beast of a truck meant for the journey a MAN 11 tonne dump truck converted into a mobile home. The Truck that had already done one around the world trip with its prior owner.

He then left the UK, drove across Europe, through the countries of the former USSR along the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan - Have a look at this road here. The stories he told me about this road after we finished recording are even more amazing.  Go to 2:30min in this video

After not being able to enter China he went all the way back to Greece, then Egypt and drove the length of Africa before sending his truck to Australia while he flew and waited for it in Melbourne. After a little more than the expected time in Australia he waits for a ship to Mexico and the story will continue.

I catch up with friend and inspirational Federal Greens Senator Peter Whish-Wilson while he's on a short break, driving around beautiful Tasmania in an RV. The main reason for this chat was to highlight amendments to the governments plastics and recycling bill coming up the week of November 9, 2020.

Peter needs the support of other parties to include amendments that will include mandatory plastics recycling volumes in packaging and the ban of several single-use plastics. 

This is our greatest opportunity to make a big change on the issue of plastic pollution. Peter is asking us all to call, write or speak to our federal members or senators in the next few days and make it clear that we support these amendments.

We also talk about beautiful Tasmania, ocean temperatures and seismic testing. Please enjoy a fun and informative chat.

In this episode we discuss the squalor of life in the 1800's and 1900's and a slow correction of conditions leading to the near 100% declines in common disease. Poor sanitation, decaying livestock, poisoned water and food, pollution, overcrowding and child or long hours of labour contributing to poor quality of life. These living conditions leading to the superstitious formation of the vaccine industry and more than a century of lies, corruption and hidden data and a belief that medication saved humanity.

The media has called her "Australia's Greta Thunberg" but Izzy Raj-Seppings is simply fighting for what would seem the only sensible approach to climate action.

At 13 Izzy is concerned about the state of our earth and wants action on climate now, and who can blame her?

She became the face of climate change activism in Australia after footage of her being moved on by police in a protest outside Kirribilli House went viral. Since then she has used this exposure to continue her message to the government by being involved in further "School Strike 4 Climate" protests and is part of the team taking the government to court in a class action for their continued focus on fossil fuels.

This chat is a very laid back conversation about Izzy's accidental fame and her passion for a healthy planet. Its inspirational and comforting knowing the future is in good hands. In the meantime, lets help the kids out and vote for policy that incentivises renewable energy, ocean / forest protection and takes into account all the species with which we share this planet.

Bob Brown has been campaigning and leading action on climate and the protection of our natural environments for at least 50 years. Inspiring fellow environmentalists and changing / challenging legislation as an Australian Senator.

In 1978 Bob Brown was appointed director of the Tasmanian Wilderness Society and was a leader of the campaign to prevent construction of the Franklin Dam in the late 70's

He was elected to the Australian Senate in 1996. In his first speech in the Senate, he raised the threat posed by climate change where government and opposition members laughed at his warning of sea level rises.

In 2010 Bob led the Australian Greens to a historic result with more than 1.6 million Australians voting for the Greens and the election of 9 Senators and 1 House of Representatives member.

He stepped down as Leader of the Australian Greens and retired from the Senate in June 2012.

He then set up the Bob Brown Foundation where he continues the campaign for greater environmental protection and a move away from fossil fuels into new technology and renewable energy.

We talk about the need to vote for the people who have the planet front and centre, rather than succumbing to the need for self preservation. The need to understand who you are voting for and the protection of forests and our natural environments.

Roman Bystrianyk has been researching the history of diseases and vaccines since 1998. He has an extensive background in health and nutrition as well as a B.S. in engineering and M.S. in computer science. Roman Bystrianyk has published his new book Moving Back from Midnight with co-author Kate Schmutter,available now on Amazon.

Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering graphs, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases. If the medical profession could systematically misinterpret and ignore key historical information, the question must be asked, “What else is ignored and misinterpreted today?”

In this episode we discuss Roman's discovery that  disease rates were already in steep decline prior to the introduction of vaccines. Also the discussion begins on the living conditions in the 1800's and early 1900's leading to many illnesses that are always blamed on germs rather than malnutrition, poverty, poison, pollution, death, sanitation and labour.

Lyndi Cohen is an author, dietitian and nutritionist who puts the fun back into food. Her program “Back to Basics” is about recipes, fitness and head space.

Lyndi's Instagram is full off simple, tasty recipes, motivating statements and self portraits that go against the insta norm. Diets and self image aren't about quick success and the look of a supermodel, but loving who you are more than what social media feeds tell you. Thats just not real.

On her website she says; 
As the Nude Nutritionist, I'm all about stripping nutrition back to basics. Here's what I believe: 

• Swap cauliflower for carbs and you will lose ~88% of the joy you get from food.
• Twenty minutes of exercise is better than an hour at the gym that you never do.
• Don't give up 95% of your life to weigh 5% less
• If hating your body helped you lose weight, you'd have your dream body by now.

This is the first time that Lyndi and I have met and its a fun conversation about taking the pressure off yourself and finding that happy medium of doing things better while not beating yourself up. Which is actually the case in most things including sustainability, if you are having fun, you will most likely achieve so much more.

Christine Massey from Ontario, Canada and her colleagues have been compiling Freedom of Information Law responses about whether any government, agency or institution around the world has any documentation on the isolation or purification of SARS-CoV-2 (and other "viral" diseases). All 200+ have said that they have no such records.

None have any record of proof of existence of the alleged virus', which would be necessary before it could be shown to be harmful, or sequenced sufficiently to develop a PCR assay. The PCR can only find something if it has some of it already.

We continue to discuss the freedom of information requests  and the results of 222 requests sent around the world including Australia, revealing not a single record of the existence of any such virus according to their records which may indicate they are coercing  people to get injections for things they have no actual proof of?

David Rasnick knows a lot about AIDS, arthritis, cancer, proteases in emphysema and parasites, drug design, clinical diagnostics.  Most of all he is proud of his work in the area of chromosomal imbalance(aneuploidy) theory of cancer: the most comprehensive, productive, and satisfying explanation of cancer—all cancers

In 1891 David Hansemann observed asymmetric mitoses in all of the epithelial cancers he examined. This led him to the hypothesis that, “The cell of the malignant tumor is a cell with a certain abnormal chromatin content.” Theodor Boveri formulated the first aneuploidy theoryof cancer in 1914.

In this episode we discuss more on the chromosomal imbalance theory of cancer, treatments that aren't helping and how being healthy and removing carcinogens are the the only way  to avoid cancer.
