Episode 087: Financial Underground with Nick Giambruno. November 24, 2023

In 1971, President Nixon cancelled the direct convertibility of dollars into gold due to declining gold reserves. Since then, most countries have adopted fiat monies that are exchangeable between major currencies but don't possess any intrinsic value of their own. Today, Paul & Mike are honored to have our very own "Mr. Green," Nick Giambruno come into the G Base from the Financial Underground to help explain the situation, and what Pinelanders ought to be doing now to help prepare for economic hardship and a collapsing dollar.  

Episode 086: Leadership with Terry Peters. November 17, 2023

There's a lot a leader can learn from thinking about a listening and observation post, or what is commonly referred to in the military as an "LP/OP". The key to success is to be very quiet and use your senses to detect the enemy before they detect you, to provide early warning and reaction time for friendly forces. Today, Terry Peters joins Paul & Mike in the G Base to share a little wisdom about the power of listening and learning from others, especially our subordinates. Being a good listener provides leaders what they need to know, and also provides leaders time to take appropriate action in order to benefit the individual and the overall team.

For those of us who enjoy spending time away from man-made concrete jungles, observing the mathematical perfection of the universe and its natural laws, we quickly realize how small and insignificant we are and how wrong we've been on so many topics. On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin was published in 1859, and it's taken us over a hundred and fifty years to realize just how utterly ridiculous the theory is. Today, Paul & Mike are honored to welcome fellow Pinelander, and author of Common Sense vs. Evolution, Shane Anderson into the G Base to discuss the cornerstone of atheism and why academia continues to cling to it with white knuckles in spite of the ever growing, overwhelming body of evidence to the contrary.
