Episode 25, w/ Dan Smotz!

Guest: Sometimes conspiratorial; always controversial, the great and powerful Dan Smotz joins me today to talk about what is real and what may not be. He can be found at https://thesystemisdown.tv/ and on @tsidpod. His independent advertising business is called https://www.goulashmedia.net/. Topics:  Fave conspiracy theories Flat Earth Moon landing 95% certain it’s not real School shootings, Sandy Hook “You’re not allowed to ask that question.” Pharisees run the world Ones we’re not allowed to say on the internet Giants  Moon landing Who’s creepier: Ellen or Oprah? Bit shoot, Telegram, Odyssey Pharisitical Rule “Any time you say something is anti-globalist, that is their big dog whistle for anti-Jew.” -Nate “We are supporting it with dollars and bombs by the trillions… if there is a creator, I’m pretty sure it’s not what He was referring to when He said, ‘My people shall reign supreme.’” - Dan “There is nothing anti-Semetic about being anti-any state.” -Nate The men in charge are not even religious; they’re politicians hiding behind the term “Jew” so no one can speak against them. COVID-Land Where is the line? Do we get weekly tests? Mask mandates suck “If they say to mask, leave.” They’ve proven to not help States with a blue major city that makes laws for the rest of the red state Mandating no mask mandates still gives power to the governor to make mandates Vaccine mandate Anyone with a medical reason not to get it is screwed The very people we are supposed to be “protecting” by not spreading the virus If it leads to states seceding… great It’s like they’re trying to create local terrorists Taking libertarians’ right to work Taking kids’ social life They want us violent so we’re a reasonable target Our only chance is peaceful civil disobedience Everything is polarizingly divisive Good movie plot: “Gov’t makes vaccines that gives autism → autistic army building online that wants to bring down the system” Should violent action be taken at some point? If so, when? Was Trump installed? He's always played the heel He made anyone who loves the 2nd amendment, capitalism, and freedom look like an asshole He introduced small changes one at a time so people would accept more and more tyranny Staged Devisiveness, Everything in the media is to tear communities apart And now we pulled out of Afghanistan Is Alex Jones a puppet too? Is he just Bill Hicks remastered? Were giants real? There’s so many groups of people from so many times in history who say yes Are aliens real or just something they want us to believe in? Are they planning for it to go like The Watchmen? And they will get more tax money “for space force.” We don’t know because we cannot get into space, We’ve never been to the moon People say too many people would have had to be involved, but really, no https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpuKu3F0BvY How do we not have the technology in 2021 if we did in ‘69? “If you don’t know anything at all about the moon landing, why do you have such a strong opinion about it?” - Dan And why has no one gone back? Is this a simulation? Western Christianity  Jesus & the Early Church don’t fit into the boxes, communes are cool. Which direction are Libertarians gonna go? Maybe start a religion?  Goal: personal liberty Buy a chunk of Montana Start bartering with each other Hard to work together because we’re all autistic snowflakes Division in LP is similar to division in Chrsitian church Politics, religion, and conspiracies are really all the same thing If you’re not worshipping a god, you worship the state or yourself Find common ground and come together The only thing we need in common is being against the Omnipotent State Even if LPMC only wakes up a few more people, they’ve done good You don’t know everything! Be humble and listen to others Even if they’re dumb in one area; they might be an expert in some
