TECHNOCRACY: Government in the Scientific Age (Part 1) | Introduction
20 Aug 2025
01:11:04
In this episode, host Alex Sachon launches a new series on the topic of Technocracy, covering its origins, its growing influence in our economic and governance systems, and its potential as a replacement for capitalism.
The material in this series is extracted from Chapter 6 of Alex's recent book "The Coming World Nation," which links the rise of technocracy with the motion toward global government and the pending revelation of a profound energy revolution.
The episode also includes updates on upcoming projects, including a new nonprofit and new Manly P. Hall "Study Guide" series.

What John Mearsheimer Gets Wrong about the US-ISRAEL Relationship
03 Aug 2025
00:33:10
In this episode, host Alex Sachon critically examines key points made by US foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. This interview focuses partly on the current situation in Gaza and partly on the perplexing nature of the US-Israel relationship.
While Alex appreciates Mearsheimer’s detailed historical analysis of Israel’s motivations for its policies toward Gaza and his deep knowledge of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship", he fundamentally disagrees with Mearsheimer’s nation-state-centric approach and his emphasis on ideology as the main driver of U.S. foreign policy. Instead, Alex argues that only by understanding the U.S. as a global empire—driven by control, centralization, and technological dominance—can we make sense of its actions in the Middle East. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of Mearsheimer’s perspective, offering a broader framework for understanding current events.
Table of Contents
00:00 – Introduction: Framing the Debate
03:32 – Clip 1: The U.S. Foreign Policy Establishment Alex critiques Mearsheimer’s focus on ideology and the nation-state, arguing for a broader model that distinguishes between America as a nation-state and as a global empire.
04:34 – Clip 2: The U.S.-Israel Relationship Mearsheimer discusses the influence of the Israel lobby and U.S. military support. Alex agrees with the factual analysis at the nation-state level but insists the real driver is the empire’s need for control, not just lobbying or ideology.
08:33 – Clip 3: The Two-State Solution Mearsheimer claims the U.S. wants peace and a two-state solution. Alex strongly disagrees, arguing that ongoing conflict serves U.S. imperial interests, especially regarding the petrodollar system.
10:24 – Clip 4: The Greater Israel Project and Ethnic Cleansing Mearsheimer details the historical roots and current execution of the Greater Israel agenda. Alex praises this clarity but adds that the American Empire’s structure enables these dynamics.
17:58 – Clip 5: Why Israel Wants Gaza Mearsheimer explains the strategic and ideological motivations for controlling Gaza and neighboring regions. Alex acknowledges the accuracy of the historical analysis and adds economic and geostrategic factors.
22:57 – Conclusion Alex summarizes the need for a more dynamic model of American power to understand Middle East geopolitics and global events.
MANLY P. HALL "Learning to Know the Dweller in the Flesh" | Lecture Analysis
14 Mar 2024
01:32:52
In this episode, I break down a classic Manly P. Hall lecture titled "Learning to Know the Dweller in the Flesh". It's all about understanding the philosophy of the Self (or Higher Self), how it relates to the physical personality, and what we can do to align with it.
I start the episode off by reading a short essay I published a couple weeks ago on my Substack called "The Real You". If you don't follow me there, you should: thewisdomtradition.substack.com
23. Will the Fed Crash Global Financial Markets for their Great Reset? | F. William Engdahl and Michael Hudson
22 Dec 2021
00:39:22
In this episode I review a recent article of F. William Engdahl on the topic of geopolitics, the financial markets, the pandemic, and "The Great Reset" initiative. This discussion directly follows up a previous episode (ep. 9a) from August, where I delved into a March 2020 article of Michael Hudson on systemic fragility in the financial system. This episode also touches on material from the previous few episodes on the science underlying coronavirus and what it tells us about the larger forces at work behind this global operation.
22c. Dr. Peter McCullough on the Joe Rogan Podcast | further commentary
20 Dec 2021
00:32:07
Note: for podcast listeners, I recorded this to post on YouTube, since my previous episode got blocked on copyright grounds. It rehashes the main set of arguments I laid out in my previous two videos (but doesn't feature any clips).
From my YouTube description: On my podcast "The Wisdom Tradition" I recently posted an episode where I broke down several clips from Dr. Peter McCullough's recent blockbuster interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. This video got blocked from YouTube for copyright reasons, so I made this video (without any clips) that goes over my main take-away from the episode. This video is intended to pair with my previous video, which goes into Dr. Tom Cowan's recent ebook that deconstructs virology's claim of virus isolation.
Links to my podcast and more can be found at www.alexsachon.com I also have a store with zines and merch. Check it out! (link at my site)
22b. Dr. Peter McCullough's Interview on the Joe Rogan Podcast | detailed commentary and analysis
18 Dec 2021
00:53:42
Hey everyone, in this episode I do a deep-dive into Dr. Peter McCullough's recent blockbuster interview on Joe Rogan's podcast. I edited out several clips from the interview and share those, while offering detailed analysis on the content of what he is saying.
This episode follows my previous episode, which is on the issue of virus isolation. I start things off in this current episode by comparing Dr. McCullough's approach with the ideas discussed in that previous episode.
A video version of this will be available on Rumble or Odysee (links available soon). Also, check out my store - a new zine is coming soon and your patronage would be much appreciated. See also my PayPal donation link at my website.
22a. Dr. Tom Cowan "Breaking the Spell" eBook Review | deconstructing virology's claims of virus isolation
14 Dec 2021
00:29:24
In this episode I analyze one of the key topics discussed in Dr. Tom Cowan's recent ebook "Breaking the Spell": virology's claim that it has successfully accomplished "virus isolation" for the various virus strains that they claim are responsible for the numerous disease epidemics that have occurred throughout recent history, including COVID, AIDS, polio, and many others.
As we will be exploring, it is far from conclusive that an entity called a "virus" actually exists in nature. Likely, virologists are mistaking "viruses" for "exosomes" - packets of genetic information released as part of the natural process of cell sickness and death. These particles (exosomes) emerge from a cell after the cell has already been sickened. They are not the cause of the cell being sickened; it is being sickened from other factors and is emitting the exosomes (mistaken as viruses) as an inevitable consequence of its sickness.
The main idea here is that viruses are not disease-causing agents; they are not the cause of illness but a symptom or effect of a cell that has become sick for other reasons. Blaming illness on contagious viruses is a red herring, one that distracts us from seeking out the true cause of disease.
The question of what is actually causing tody's global epidemic of illness is a topic that many researchers are still exploring. But you don't have to have that answer completely figured out in order to disqualify other theories which have been proposed to explain the disease outbreak but which, upon consideration, have failed to persuasively argue its scientific case. In other words, we can falsify or "nullify" a theory that has been proposed without having already worked out what the correct explanation is. All we need to do is apply the scientific method to the theory; if it is not able to successfully pass through the requirements of the method, then the theory is 'nullified' - it is shown to be invalid.
As it turns out, the virus theory of contagion does not pass the scientific method - it has been nullified; it does not qualify as a valid scientific hypothesis to explain how and why disease epidemics emerge in human beings. One or more other explanations are needed; the virus theory is done for.
A further point must be considered: as long as we keep spending all our attention on viruses, we restrict and distract ourselves from going on the quest of finding the epidemic's true cause (which may be dynamic and include numerous variables, rather than just one). By fixating on viruses, we never give ourselves the chance to develop proper prevention or treatment protocols based on an accurate diagnosis of what's really afflicting people.
If you enjoyed this episode and are interested hearing more explorations of this topic, check out my podcast archive where I have other related episodes. I'm also working on a full written report on the topic, one which will factor in Manly Hall's teachings on the metaphysics of human health.

21. Manly P. Hall "Soul Power from Daily News" | Finding the Law Behind Current Events
05 Dec 2021
00:44:42
In this episode, I review a 1941 article of Manly Hall's that explores the intersection between news, current events, and philosophy. In particular, it explores the notion of how, through an appreciation of Law, we can learn and grow through contemplation of the often-depressing reports we see in the news media.
20. The Atlantis Hypothesis: Manly P. Hall vs. Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, + John Anthony West
02 Dec 2021
00:48:13
Hey everyone,
This is the last video in a series on Atlantis and the 7 ages of Man, which I'm doing in support of my new zine/study guide on the topic. In this video, I present a series of clips from Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, and John Anthony West on the topic of Atlantis. I then offer commentary on these clips based on the teachings of Manly P. Hall.
You can find digital and print copies of my zine at thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.com (along with some merch) Follow me on IG: @thewisdomtradition My site: www.alexsachon.com

19b. From Race to Nation - The Evolutionary Trajectory of Our Age
25 Nov 2021
00:51:15
This episode follows up on my previous episode, where we discussed esoteric philosophy's method of interpreting race. In this episode, we hone in on the current age, - the 5th of 7 ages - in this current cycle of existence. As Manly P. Hall writes, the evolutionary arc of our current age is to move from "race" to "nation". In this episode, we explore what this means. Thanks for tuning in! Check out my Atlantis zine to help support this channel - it is much appreciated! Cheers, - Alex
19a. How Esoteric Philosophy Views Race and the Differentiation of Races
24 Nov 2021
00:54:23
Hey y'all - sorry for the delay in putting out content this month. I was hard at work on my new zine/study guide, which is now at the printers and should be available in a week or two. In the meantime, in this episode I'm going to take inspiration from current events and delve into the topic of race - something that corporate media, politicians, and (un)woke activists have become obsessed over. There seems to be an effort to use race as a means of divide-and-conquer among the population. By staying grounded in esoteric philosophy's teachings about the topic, we can bypass this and keep our eyes on the prize. Thanks for tuning in, see you soon. - Alex

MANLY P. HALL "Armageddon: The War that Ends in Peace" | Lecture Analysis
07 Feb 2024
01:21:18
In my newest podcast episode, I analyze a classic lecture from Manly P. Hall titled “Armageddon: The War that Ends in Peace.”
The contents of this lecture fit right in with the theme of mankind’s “Fight with the Shadow”, a topic we have explored often in the various books and articles I’ve published so far on my Substack. For example, my most recent article and podcast episode on the WHO is built entirely around this theme.
Check out my Substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com) for the written transcript of this episode, featuring both Hall's lecture and my commentary.

15. Interview: Roman Bystrianyk on the Problematic Science Behind Vaccines and Virology
13 Oct 2021
01:25:15
Hey everyone,
In today's episode I have a lengthy conversation with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of the influential 2013 book "Dissolving Illusions" (co-authored with Dr. Suzanne Humphries), which delves deep into the data and statistics to show how the history of vaccines and virology is not what it seems to be. Roman is also working on a new project about the critical environmental issues affecting our planet and society, and toward the end of our convo we get into that.

13. Interview: Dr. Debashish Banerji on Philosophy, Yoga, the Vedas, and the Mystics of India
29 Sep 2021
01:35:04
In this episode I have an interview with a special guest: the great scholar of Indian philosophy Dr. Debashish Banerji. In this wide-ranging discussion, we discuss the esoteric philosophies of 19th century Indian mystics Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, and Sri Aurobindo. We also discuss the basic spiritual cosmology of ancient Indian philosophy (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva), before heading into a discussion of the ancient Indian tradition of the "Arya".
My computer was battling with internet connectivity issues throughout so there are many audio blips. I did my best to edit around them: I hope you stick with it, because there's a lot of really good material contained within.
12. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a Treatment for COVID | an Interview with Dr. Xiaoyan Wang
26 Sep 2021
01:00:15
Hey folks, in today's episode I have an interview with a special guest: Dr. Xiaoyan Wang, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practicing in Richmond, Virginia. In this episode, we talk about the fundamentals of TCM, how it diagnoses and treats illness, and how its approach differs from the drug-based approach of Western medicine . Importantly we also discuss the fact that TCM has been used to great effect in treating patients with COVID-related illnesses.
Most people today - in the US and elsewhere - are incorrectly taught to believe that there are no treatments available for COVID illness. Consequently, most believe that if you get ill, there's nothing that can be done for you unless you're brought into a hospital and put on a ventilator. Despite this widespread view, the truth is that there are several early to mid-stage treatments for COVID that have proven to be effective. In the alternative media in the West, we are seeing widespread reports that Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are two drugs that have shown to be effective, but we've heard little about TCM as a third major form of treatment. Many, many people have used TCM to use successfully treat COVID illness (my roommate being one of them) and in this episode we are going to delve into the basic ideas behind how it works. Thanks for watching! - Alex

World Events are Pushing Mankind Toward a Confrontation with the Shadow
26 Jan 2024
01:05:31
In this unscripted episode I discuss a wide-range of topics centered around the theme that world events are indicating that mankind is being rapidly pulled toward an inevitable confrontation within the psychological force within himself that Carl Jung called the Shadow.
The discussion starts with a look at the WHO's new Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and considers that how this looks like the "final solution" for the aspiring health dictators. Other sectors of society are experiencing similar motions toward the final stage of various interconnected nefarious plans, be they the collapse of the energy economy, the forced migration crisis and "clash of civilizations" scenario, the deconstruction of the industrial food system, and more.
Towards the end of the episode I also give some updates on the channel and some new stuff that's been going on with me.
Thanks for listening, - Alex www.alexsachon.com thewisdomtradition.substack.com

8. GROUPTHINK | the Psychological Epidemic Destroying Our Society (discussion + mini-documentary)
25 Aug 2021
00:37:04
We have to talk about something very important: the psychology of "groupthink". This is a topic that could not be more important to understand at this current state of time!
In the first half of this video, I offer an introduction and overview of groupthink and how it is shaping our modern world. In the second half, I present a mini-documentary I spliced together from a variety of sources across YouTube. In it, you can hear about the theory of groupthink right from the psychologists who pioneered its study, while also seeing some case studies that make the concept more tangible.

I hope you enjoy! - Alex
RILEY WAGGAMAN on Russia's Complicity in the Great Reset | Interview with Russia-based Journalist
10 Jan 2024
00:59:44
In today's episode I'm sharing a recent interview I did with journalist Riley Waggaman, formerly of RT, who is based in Russia and writes critically of Russia's complicity in advancing the same technocratic Great Reset agenda that America and the EU - its supposed enemies - are also advancing.
So while on one level China and Russia are the espoused enemies of the West, on another level they are all collaborating to bring the world into a new paradigm of global technocratic governance.
In this interview, we talk first about his perspective of the Ukraine War from inside Russia, and then we move on to talk about Russia's complicity in the Great Reset agenda. I was surprised to learn that not only is Russia on board with the vaxx mandates, CBDCs, and Digital ID systems, but they also have their own version of a forced migration crisis going on.
What's Happening at the Southern Border? | A New Element of the Great Reset is Revealed
06 Jan 2024
00:58:57
In today's episode, I'll be investigating what looks to be a key pillar of the ongoing Great Reset: the weaponization of illegal alien migrations into the US, UK, and EU.
In particular, I'm going to examine the staggering number of migrants from all over the world streaming into the US from its Southern Border with Mexico - an operation that is clearly being run and orchestrated by a coalition between the Biden Administration, the Deep State, and the UN.
In this episode, I share numerous clips from The Alex Jones Show where he talks about this engineered crisis. I find he's been one of the best sources for analysis on this issue (and as it turns out, this is a topic he has been on top of for over a decade). I also share and comment on clips from The Jimmy Dore Show, the Shawn Ryan Show, and others.
PROF. ANTHONY HALL on the Geopolitics of Israel, Palestine, and Gaza | Interview
19 Dec 2023
01:21:31
Hey folks,
About a week ago I had a long conversation with Anthony Hall, Professor Emeritus of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. He is an expert in the colonization of indigenous peoples and views the ongoing Israel-Palestine situation in that light. He is also a frequent contributor to the website globalresearch.ca, which is where I discovered his work.
This interview follows up my recent article on 10/7 called "October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear". Dr. Hall has several related articles on the topic that I recommend, which can be found on his Substack: https://anthonyjhall.substack.com/
October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear | Follow-Up Commentary
18 Dec 2023
00:11:58
I wanted to offer some additional commentary on my recent article that takes an in-depth look at the October 7th attacks on Israel. The article is the first in a series and in this commentary I relate the 10/7 attacks and Israel's response to them to some of the larger themes I'll be discussing in those later articles.
Of particular interest is the idea that the Great Reset may herald a significant change in the relationship between the US and Israel.
You can find the original article on my Substack. A touched-up transcript of this commentary is also available there. It's worth reading. thewisdomdtradition.substack.com
October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear | A New Picture is Emerging About the Events of 10/7
15 Dec 2023
00:58:40
In this episode, I revisit the events of the October 7th attack on Israel. The goal is to move beyond certain oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the event that have become prominent. There is a lot more here than what first meets the eye.
Sections: 1. Others Were Involved with the 10/7 Attacks Besides Hamas 2. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Uneasy Allies 3. The Strategic Objectives Behind Operation Al-Aqsa Flood 4. The IDF’s Counter-Response Killed Many Israeli Citizens 5. Israeli Intelligence had Foreknowledge of the Attack
This article is the first in a series. Stay tuned for the rest.
I should point out that in this article I revise some of my initial conceptions of the 10/7 attack, which I discussed in earlier episodes from late October.
Manly P. Hall: The Maestro of Esoteric Philosophy | Book Overview | Out Now on Amazon!
02 Dec 2023
00:45:44
I'm excited to announce that my book on Manly P. Hall is now available on Amazon in North America and Europe! (If that link doesn't work there's a link on my website: www.alexsachon.com.)
The book is a re-edited and reformatted version of the original series released on my podcast and Substack last year. When I originally wrote it, I intended it to be a book and to be read, so I'm very happy that it's finally available in that form.
In this podcast episode, I offer a summary and overview of the book, tell you what it's about, why I wrote it, and why I think Manly P. Hall is such a notable figure in modern world history.
For a limited time, I'm offering a book-launch bundle featuring a signed copy of the book and a limited-release t-shirt. My plan is to ship these mid-December. It's available on my e-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.com.
Thank you for following and for your support so far. If you've been through the series already please leave a positive review on Amazon! That would really help attract a new audience to it.

In this episode, I interview UFO researcher Walter Bosley about the 19th-century origins of the UFO mystery. This is important, because when you move into this often-overlooked aspect of the story it becomes clear that secretive human groups and not aliens are behind the phenomenon.
Walter's book "Origin: The 19th Century Emergence of the 20th Century Breakaway Civilizations" was a big influence on my own work on this topic, which I covered as part of my "The Secret History of the 20th Century" series (soon to be released as a book).

In this episode, I continue my Gaza coverage by commenting on Col. Douglas MacGregor's recent appearances on Redacted and Tucker Carlson, where he warns of the threat of large scale war should Israel continue its persecution of Gaza.
In this discussion, I sample several clips from these two appearances and analyze them in depth. I also comment on a clip from Bret Weinstein's "Dark Horse" podcast, where he discusses the problems with the official story of Hamas's October 7th terrorist attack.
Israel's War Against Hamas in Gaza | Critical Factors Being Overlooked

NOTE: I have since updated and refined my perspective on these events. In particular, I now I have better understanding of the October 7th attack and the various components of it. See my article/podcast called "October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear" for more.
In today's episode I'm joined by Franklin O'Kanu, author of the Unorthodoxy Substack, to discuss the current situation in the Middle East regarding Israel, Hamas, and the Gaza Strip.
The discussion starts with a consideration of the immediate elements at play in Hamas's original terrorist attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent carpet bombing and ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza. Then we zoom out and I offer my take on the larger geopolitical circumstances going on behind the conflict and what it says about the shifting circumstances of US empire.
This is a topic I plan on revisiting and probing further into in future episodes. For more background context, see my series on the "Secret History of the 20th Century", in particular the episodes/articles concerning oil geopolitics and the petrodollar.
