Diogenes Club | E5 - For Something, Not Merely Against

Diogenes In ReviewIn this episode — Dr. Eric Lullove, Evan Fields, Nick Paro, and Walter Rhein discuss geopolitical developments, domestic political accountability, and the lived experience of veterans navigating federal systems. Early conversation centers on news involving Prince Andrew and broader concerns about elite accountability tied to Epstein-related investigations. The panel then shifts to escalating military signals in the Middle East and possible U.S. strategic objectives related to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Later segments explore the structure of VA disability ratings and how reevaluations can destabilize the finances of injured veterans. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize civic pressure, institutional accountability, and the practical consequences of policy decisions on ordinary people.Check out the related articles* Listen in to Kristofer Goldsmith’s words—and follow his plan of action on ensuring our voices are heard regarding the latest VA disability rating changes.* Check out Nick Paro’s latest article in the Intelligent Masculinity series.Actions You Can Take* Check out the new: Sick of this Shop!* Check out the new network and affiliate calendar: BroadBannerSign the Petitions:* Demand Congress Subpoena Key Figures on the Epstein Case* Investigate Presidential Use of the Autopen for Pardons and Executive Actions* Mandate that ICE agents show their face and identificationSubmit questions, feedback, and artwork for Notes of the Week with Nick and Walter:* Sick of this Shit Community Comment FormSupport Ukraine:* Donate towards generatorsCall your public servants on important issues:* 5calls.orgJoin the efforts to unmask law enforcement:* safedc.infoLearn empathy forward, human centered, experiment based Leadership & Growth Courses for Higher Ed & Non-Profit Professionals:* B.
