On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Bess Byers, a dynamic entrepreneur and political advocate who’s made waves in both the cannabis industry and the realm of free-market libertarianism. Bess founded Blaise Creative, a cannabis marketing agency, in 2017, where she specialized in social media, content creation, and communications for companies passionate about the plant, patients, and pesticide-free products. But her journey took a challenging turn when her views on COVID—views that have since been vindicated—led to her being shamed out of the industry.

Fortunately, Bess bounced back and expanded her focus back into political work. She joined the team at Reason in 2021, where she contributes to their social media and vertical video efforts, advocating for free minds and free markets. Her powerful content has garnered millions of views and even caught the attention of members of Congress, the Senate, and international news outlets.

In this episode, we delve into Bess’s fascinating journey, from her early days in cannabis marketing to her impactful work at Reason. We explore the challenges she faced during the pandemic and how she has used her voice to stand up against the establishment narrative.

One of the major topics we tackle is the Orwellian nature of our modern police state, exemplified by Bess’s recent exposé for Reason Magazine on how your vehicle is spying on you. Your car is likely collecting and sending a treasure trove of private information to third parties, insurance companies, and other actors—all without your consent. We discuss the terrifying implications of this surveillance, why so many people seem indifferent to the invasion of their privacy, and, most importantly, how you can opt-out and reclaim your privacy.

Join us for this thought-provoking conversation as we navigate the intersections of technology, privacy, and the ever-growing police state, and learn from Bess how to fight back against these encroachments on our freedom. (Length: 1:01:17)

Guest: Sam Tripoli - Psyops & Spirituality: Why Questioning Authority is Never A Blackpill 1:05:47

hace 5 días1:05:47

1:05:47

On this episode, Matt, Jason, and Don sit down with comedian, podcaster, and truth-seeker Sam Tripoli—a veteran stand-up comic and the host of Tin Foil Hat, Broken Simulation, and Zero podcasts. Sam has spent years pulling back the curtain on the elite’s manipulation of society, the corporate press’ narrative control, and the psychological warfare used to keep the masses in line. We dive deep into how society has a tendency to follow liars and thieves, blindly trusting authority while rejecting inconvenient truths. We discuss how people fight back when their perceived enemy is in power but go right back to sleep once “their guy” is in charge—making the cycle of corruption and control nearly impossible to break. From the MAGA movement cheering on globalist initiatives like Stargate to the normalization of mass surveillance and AI-driven technocracy, we explore the ways in which the illusion of choice keeps people stuck in the matrix. Sam brings his signature humor to the heavy topics of political deception, media manipulation, and the creeping rise of the technocratic police state. Despite the bleakness, we find a silver lining—acknowledging that waking people up doesn’t always require direct confrontation. As Sam points out, comedy has the power to break down cognitive dissonance and allow people to process difficult truths in a way they wouldn’t otherwise. Tune in for a compelling mix of humor, critical thinking, and unfiltered discourse, as they navigate through today's headlines with an eye towards awakening the sleeping lions of society. Whether you're here for the laughs or the liberty, this episode is sure to enlighten and entertain.

1:00:40

Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with Dave DeCamp, news editor at Antiwar.com and one of the most well-informed voices on U.S. foreign policy and global conflict, to break down the military-industrial complex’s never-ending grip on U.S. policy. While Americans are being told that federal spending is being slashed, the war machine keeps getting fed more and more taxpayer dollars. We discuss Trump’s call for increased military spending, the illusion of small government as a smokescreen for endless war, and the U.S.’s quiet plan to extract Ukraine’s rare earth minerals once the dust settles. We also dive deep into Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza and the potential consequences for the region and beyond, the labyrinth of international relations, including Trump's unexpected dialogues with Putin, the contentious military budget proposals, and the moral implications of U.S. foreign policy, the multifaceted discussion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the potential trajectory of AI-driven surveillance in America. Dave brings his expert analysis on what’s really happening behind the scenes and why both parties keep America locked into permanent war—no matter who sits in the Oval Office. But it’s not all doom and gloom—Dave leaves us with a white pill, offering a path forward that could break this destructive cycle and lead toward a more peaceful future. If you care about foreign policy, government overreach, and how the war machine operates, this is a must-listen episode.

1:03:21

In this episode, Jason and Matt sit down with none other than Dan Behrman, the man who made “Taxation is Theft” his middle name. Dan is a libertarian activist, former presidential candidate, and author of Taxation Is Theft: How Politicians Rob You Blind. He’s been on a mission to expose the corrupt foundations of government coercion and break down how we can actually resist it. We kick things off by dissecting the latest moves from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and why the so-called “small government” billionaire suddenly wants to ramp up the drug war. Then, we dive into Trump’s insane plan to take over Gaza, his executive orders, and how his America First rhetoric somehow morphed into full-blown neocon war propaganda. Of course, we couldn’t have Dan on without getting into theft—aka taxation—and why so many people still refuse to see it for what it is. Dan breaks down how the system traps us into compliance and, more importantly, how we can actually fight back without losing our freedom in the process. If you’ve ever felt the weight of government overreach but didn’t know what to do about it, this episode is a must-listen. Stay tuned until the end for some of the best insight on resisting the state without ending up in a cage.

This conversation goes way beyond the plane—touching on government cover-ups, media manipulation, and the hidden forces shaping our reality.

In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with the talented and inspiring Grant "Prezence" Ellman, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist from Sedona, Arizona. Grant’s music and activism embody a rare blend of soulful artistry and deep philosophical reflection. Known for his dedication to truth, freedom, and love, Grant’s music challenges the status quo and spreads empowering messages that resonate with anyone seeking a better, freer world. Grant’s 2021 track dismantling the COVID and government scams was censored from Spotify within just one week of release, further highlighting the uphill battle faced by artists who dare to challenge mainstream narratives. His self-produced music has graced events like Anarchapulco and The Greater Reset, and he’s shared stages with icons like Steel Pulse, Tribal Seeds, and Mike Love. With influences ranging from modern reggae to dub pioneers, Grant has crafted a sound that’s uniquely his own—blending deep messages with unforgettable melodies. In this conversation, we explore the troubling symbolism and toxic ideas found in much of mainstream music today—things like promoting materialism, treating women poorly, and glorifying violence. Grant shares his insights on why artists like Sam Smith lean into satanic and dark imagery and contrasts it with his own mission to inspire peace and love through his art. We also dive deep into the story of Ross Ulbricht, as Grant has been an outspoken advocate for Ross’s freedom. He explains why this issue is so close to his heart and how artists can use their platform to amplify messages of justice and liberty. To top it off, Grant treats us to an incredible live performance of his song, “Taxation is Theft.” Trust us, you don’t want to miss this—his lyrics and energy are as powerful as his philosophy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who values music as a vehicle for truth and transformation. Tune in and let Grant’s words and music inspire you to see the world—and its possibilities—in a whole new light.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with James Maskell, a trailblazer in the world of functional and integrative medicine. James has spent over a decade challenging the status quo in the healthcare industry and pushing for a system that prioritizes wellness, prevention, and personalized care over the profit-driven treatment of symptoms. James is the founder of the Functional Forum—the world’s largest integrative medicine conference—and the author of the acclaimed book The Community Cure. He’s also a pioneer in creating scalable solutions like Knew Health and HealCommunity, which aim to empower individuals and communities to take back control of their health.

James brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, offering actionable solutions and hopeful insights into how communities can reclaim their health.

In this final episode of the year for The Free Thought Project Podcast, hosts Jason and Matt sit down once again with Aaron Day, a fearless advocate for freedom, sound money, and individual sovereignty. Aaron is an entrepreneur, author, and political activist with over 25 years of experience in fighting government overreach. As the author of The Final Countdown: Crypto, Gold, and the Anarcho-Capitalist Revolution, Aaron has spent his career championing decentralized systems, parallel networks, and privacy-focused solutions to counter the parasitic control of the state. With his deep understanding of economics, cryptocurrency, and agorism, Aaron is a leading voice in the fight against financial tyranny. This week, Aaron joins us to discuss the shocking case of Roger Ver, the “Bitcoin Jesus,” who is currently fighting extradition to the U.S. under politically motivated charges. We dissect how Bitcoin was hijacked from its original purpose as a tool for financial freedom and explore the implications of the state’s weaponization of the monetary system against its perceived enemies. Aaron shares insights into privacy coins, such as Monero and Zano, as tools for resisting tyranny and highlights how decentralized systems can render the old systems of control obsolete. We also delve into the bigger picture of financial tyranny, discussing how policies around CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and government overreach continue to erode individual freedom. Aaron offers practical solutions for how we can fight back—both individually and collectively—through parallel networks, agorism, and everyday resistance. Also, Aaron reminds us to visit freerogernow.org and sign the petition! As always, we wrap up on a positive note, reminding listeners that hope lies in action and that tools like privacy coins and decentralized systems can pave the way for a freer future.

In this episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, we dive into the "Trump Savior Syndrome" and its impact on the liberty movement. We discuss whether Kamala Harris would have been a better catalyst for dissent and momentum, and how the movement has shifted to cheerleading for the Federal government. We also discuss Chase Oliver's interactions with the Libertarian Party and large liberty influencers, his adherence to his ideology, and how his views were perceived in light of his sexual orientation. Additionally, we examine the Mises Caucus's support for Dr. Rectenwald and the challenges he faced with branding. We question Trump's alignment with Christian values and explore the potential for him to inadvertently inspire more freedom-minded activists and anarchists. We emphasize the importance of building your own network, creating parallel infrastructures, and pushing back against "friendly fascism." Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on the intersections of politics, philosophy, and the quest for true liberty. We end with a silver lining: Trump will likely create more freedom-minded activists and anarchists, so we need to support them and help them educate their views to further sculpt the liberty movement.

As they navigate through the complexities of libertarian principles, they engage with Jeremiah Harding to explore the contentious issue of aligning with right-wing figures like Donald Trump. The conversation delves into the pragmatic versus principled approach within libertarian circles, examining the potential compromises involved in seeking political influence through support of mainstream figures, the role of the Mises Caucus, Trump's MAGA 2.0 cabinet selections, and discuss why agorism might be a more consistent philosophy. Additionally, we delve into the implications of vague promises like "freeing Ross," drawing parallels to Julian Assange's release conditions. We also touch on the concerns about Elon Musk and technocrats acting as a Trojan horse that could subvert liberty, and how these dynamics are affecting the libertarian and freedom movements. We examine the risk of gaining a superficial sense of relevance while neglecting solutions that don't depend on the state. We also discuss the savior complex surrounding Trump that many are falling for and how libertarians have gained more traction by echoing Republican mantras. Listeners are invited to explore the implications of prioritizing political strategy over foundational libertarian ideals, and the potential consequences of such a shift for the future of liberty.

hace 14 weeks1:04:04

1:04:04

This week on The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Matt Orfalea, a filmmaker, journalist, and content creator whose story of resilience in the face of censorship is inspiring. Known for his hard-hitting, truth-focused videos, Matt rose to prominence during Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns, producing viral content that caught the attention of millions. However, his success also made him a target. YouTube and other Big Tech platforms took aim at Matt, censoring his content and attempting to erase his voice from the digital landscape. In this episode, we dissect Matt's journey, from the highs of working with Bernie Sanders to the crushing lows of being de-platformed. We reflect on the Free Thought Project's own battles with censorship, drawing parallels between our experiences. Matt opens up about the mental toll of censorship and how he managed to rebuild his platform and thrive despite the odds. We also take a deep dive into the Left's dramatic shift over the past decade — from being anti-mega corporation, antiwar, and anti-Big Pharma to now fully supporting these massive industries. This shift has alienated countless Americans, including Matt, who explains how this evolution caused him to reconsider his own political compass and move toward a more independent, principled perspective. We explore how this disenfranchisement is driving many former progressives to question mainstream narratives and align with freedom-oriented movements. Finally, Matt offers his thoughts on fighting Big Tech censorship, the establishment's propaganda machine, and why creators must remain defiant in the face of adversity. His story is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the ongoing battle for free speech in the digital age.

With a unique background spanning military service and a deep dive into the world of finance, Tony has become a trusted voice on topics at the intersection of politics, history, and economics. As you'll see during the show, Tony is passionate about exposing the hidden agendas that shape our world and equipping listeners with knowledge to better navigate turbulent times. We dive deep into the monetary challenges facing America, dissecting how the ruling elite have weaponized the dollar as a tool of global control. As America faces the consequences of these policies, Tony provides a perspective on how this financial reckoning has finally come to roost. We explore whether a shift in leadership—like Trump or his newly proposed cabinet—could make any real impact on inflation and the runaway fiat system that seems to spiral further out of control. The conversation then turns to alternative financial systems like Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, discussing how they may serve as a hedge against impending economic chaos. Drawing from his extensive experience as a precious metals trader, Tony breaks down how gold and silver prices often act as indicators of economic instability and offers insight into how these metals can be used as tools of resistance against banking cartels and financial manipulation. Tony wraps up the episode with a glimmer of optimism, leaving us with actionable solutions for those who wish to protect their wealth and resist the tide of centralized control.
