Paul & Mike are honored to welcome Kevin Mains into the G Base to discuss the challenges facing the Armed Forces today.

Episode 070: A Visit from the Pacific Northwest. April 7, 2023.

It isn't often a fellow warrior from the Pacific Northwest visits Pineland.

Brice also shares some of the excellent training being offered in his neck of the woods. The time to get prepared is now. The chair is against the wall.

Episode 069: Economic Sovereignty Part 2. March 31, 2023.

In Pineland, we use a currency known as "Don". Like its close cousin, the Federal Reserve Note (FRN), it's a paper fiat currency backed by nothing of value other than a promise to confiscate wealth from the Plebes in order to pay the treasuries (T-notes). With non-stop printing of more and more fiat currency, rising interest rates, fractional banking, and bad loans, is it any wonder banks are dropping like dominos? Even people who normally don't pay attention are starting to realize the current monetary system appears to be imploding on itself. Legendary Pinelander, NC Scout joins Paul & Mike in the G Base to continue the discussion on economic sovereignty and what steps families ought to consider to protect themselves from the fallout. 

Episode 068: Pineland Underground with Chuck Ritter. March 24, 2023.

The importance of family can't be overstated, and it's always an honor to be visited by a fellow warrior. Today, Paul & Mike conduct a thorough police call and make sure everything is squared away in order to welcome fellow podcaster, and co-host of the Pineland Underground, Chuck Ritter into the G Base to discuss past, current and future issues. At ease!     

Episode 067: Leadership with Tim Burke. March 17, 2023.

The wise man learns from his mistakes. They are excellent learning opportunities. In fact, learning from failure is often the key to success. By getting things wrong, we improve our skills and grow in various ways. This is especially true for warriors as well. It's always a valuable use of time when an experienced warrior is willing to sit down and share lessons learned. Today in Pineland, Paul & Mike are privileged to have Tim Burke join them in the G-Base to discuss leadership and how humility plays an important part in personal growth and leading others to be their very best.  

Episode 066: Silent Bridge. March 10, 2023.

Sorry to interrupt the fantasy, but slavery didn't end with the Civil War. Currently, it is estimated that between 15,000 to 50,000 women and children are forced into sexual slavery in the United States every year, with approximately 20 to 40 million enslaved today. 16 million people are trafficked for forced labor in the economy and approximately 5 million people are trafficked for forced sexual exploitation. With our open borders, the problem only gets worse. Today, Paul & Mike are honored to have a good friend and fellow warrior join them in the G-Base to discuss modern day slavery and what Silent Bridge is doing worldwide to help those seeking freedom as well as providing hope and opportunity post captivity.

Episode 065: Warrior Virtues - Part 5. March 3, 2023.

Maya Angelou said it best: “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” How right she is. Today Paul & Mike wrap up their discussion with the virtue required of every warrior in order to fulfil their duty and responsibility in the extreme. Pineland has always served as one of the places where warriors go to test themselves, leaving summer soldiers and sunshine patriots behind. Prepare your mind and enjoy the episode.  

Episode 064: Warrior Virtues - Part 4. February 24, 2023.

Far and near recognition signals have been accepted and once again Paul & Mike sit down at an undisclosed location deep within Pineland to continue the discussion of Warrior Virtues. Today, the duo consider temperance; a moderation in thought, word, or action. Warriors are required to practice temperance at all times, maintaining discipline, self-control and demonstrating restraint in their passions and behaviors. In today's world of unrestrained lasciviousness, mastery of temperance is a must for any American Warrior.
