Barnhardt Podcast

In this episode we discuss BitCoin again: the wild fluctuations in its price, the massive (and growing!) carbon footprint of the global computer network that supports it, and a generous helping of side-topic discussions about price discovery, price stability, arbitrage, liquidity and in the cattle and pork belly (BACON!) markets as well. And since it's a non-Halal show we discussed alcohol a bit as well before wrapping up 2017 and looking ahead to 2018.

In this episode we discuss the recent repeal of the Obama Administration's regulation on net neutrality and why this is a good thing, Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox and why this is a bad thing, Ann breaks down the blasphemous and scandalous nativity scene in Saint Peter's square, and SuperNerd vents on the demise of Star Wars (from a certain point of view, of course).

In this episode we discuss lies and the lying liars who lie them... err, tell them. Whether it's DDoS attackers lying to internet service providers that their traffic is legitimate, parents who tell their kids that Santa Claus is a benevolent breaking-and-entering artist, or NBC news in general or Matt Lauer in particular, liars are going to lie and when you tell enough lies then Faith suffers or dies. And don't neglect the Sacrament of Confession where Truth and our hope in joining the Church Triumphant is restored!

In this episode we discuss a very non-exhaustive list of ways that modern man seeks a substitute to fill the God-sized hole in his heart, namely though consumerism, politics, fantasy, entertainment, and sports. Whether we're making gods of our bellies (Philippians Chapter 3) or pursuing pseudo-intellectuals as our idols and role models, or worshiping the temple of the Holy Spirit instead of the Godhead who ought to be dwelling therein, man's heart will never rest until it rests in God, no matter how strenuously we strive to the contrary.  Links and reading: Dominican Journal: Sports and Religion (the blog post which from which this episode took inspiration) Karl Denninger's Blog Fr.

In this episode we discussed many tangents diverging from a listener's email, covering the state of the papacy, prophecy, spiritual combat, military combat, private revelation, artificial intelligence, post-menopausal women claiming to have witnessed supernatural events, papal infallibility... but not all of the tangents in the world can distract from one indisputable fact: we must pray like our salvation and that of our neighbors depends on it!

In this episode we discuss the hot mess the Alabama Senate race has turned into, reminding ourselves of the Barnhardt Axiom and wondering why this doesn't happen more often. It's all of a piece and elements of the Roy Moore story overlap with Weinstein, Spacey, Netflix, Amazon, traditional media, Ted Kennedy and the kingdom of Satan in all sorts of direct and indirect ways. Remember to keep your focus on the Divine Throne -- it's the only "game" that matters!

In this episode we dig into the mailbag to address queries sent in by email -- and other methods of communication -- about whether we're okay, the recent mass-shooting at a non-Mass at a Protestant building in Texas, the natural law, culture, baby boomers, generational spirits, millennials, and the realization that once a society descends to open occultism there isn't a succeeding generation. And we make absolutely no predictions of when the next podcast will be!

In this episode we discuss the epidemic of annulments declarations of nullity of marriage in the Church today. Like divorce, declarations of nullity are skyrocketing, especially in the United States, and the effects are devastating not only on the marriages and families being affected but on the Church and society as a whole.

In this episode we discuss the tactic of trolling: doing something provokingly to get a reaction. One such troll in the political sphere is Milo Yiannopoulos who causes polarization and helps establish a false dichotomy where one didn't exist before, all while inserting the notion that crass people with deviant lifestyles have a place in public discourse, even among conservatives and Catholics.  Feedback: please send your questions and comments to podcast@barnhardt.biz The Barnhardt Podcast is produced by SuperNerd Media; if you found this episode to be of value you can share some value to back to SuperNerd at the SuperNerd Media website.

In this episode we discuss the need to act on your convictions, even if it means a loss of pay or could result in you being deployed to pagan lands during a time of war. Similar but less dramatically, it's important to realize that meekness does not mean weakness and we should mentally prepare for, and have a plan of action in advance, for scenarios where someone disturbs the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, whether mentally ill or intending to commit violent acts.
