Adam Trombly and the Classified Science of Etheric Energy

One of the most important scientists of the past 50 years is a man that no one has heard of - Adam Trombly. He was a pioneering physicist and engineer who followed in the footsteps of Nikola Tesla and designed a successful "over-unity", "zero point energy" power generation device. If this technology would have been allowed to be released to the public, the entire global economy would have been radically transformed. But instead, his work was confiscated and his research shut down by an invisible power structure (one that I call the Technocratic Superstate in my recent book "The Coming World Nation") In today's episode, I break down a number of excerpts from a 4-hour interview that Trombly did about 15 years ago on Spectrum Radio, where he talks about his life, career, and experience in having the government shut down and confiscate a breakthrough energy device he invented, which could have solved the world's energy problems. The information that Trombly shares about his life story offers us valuable insight into the underground black projects apparatus that underlies that US military-industrial complex. It is very hard to get information about this highly-classified black project underworld, with Trombly providing us rare and important details about it through his series of encounters with it over the years.Table of Contents:00:00 Introduction to Adam Trombly09:11 Adam Trombly's Upbringing and Father's Mysterious Death21:42 Adolescence and Star Child Program31:31 Military Industrial Complex and Secret Physics41:57 John C.

TECHNOCRACY: Government in the Scientific Age (Part 1) | Introduction

In this episode, host Alex Sachon launches a new series on the topic of Technocracy, covering its origins, its growing influence in our economic and governance systems, and its potential as a replacement for capitalism. The material in this series is extracted from Chapter 6 of Alex's recent book "The Coming World Nation," which links the rise of technocracy with the motion toward global government and the pending revelation of a profound energy revolution. The episode also includes updates on upcoming projects, including a new nonprofit and new Manly P. Hall "Study Guide" series. The written article that this podcast is based on is available to read at thewisdomtradition.substack.com.

What John Mearsheimer Gets Wrong about the US-ISRAEL Relationship

In this episode, host Alex Sachon critically examines key points made by US foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. This interview focuses partly on the current situation in Gaza and partly on the perplexing nature of the US-Israel relationship. While Alex appreciates Mearsheimer’s detailed historical analysis of Israel’s motivations for its policies toward Gaza and his deep knowledge of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship", he fundamentally disagrees with Mearsheimer’s nation-state-centric approach and his emphasis on ideology as the main driver of U.S. foreign policy. Instead, Alex argues that only by understanding the U.S. as a global empire—driven by control, centralization, and technological dominance—can we make sense of its actions in the Middle East. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of Mearsheimer’s perspective, offering a broader framework for understanding current events.Table of Contents00:00 – Introduction: Framing the Debate03:32 – Clip 1: The U.S. Foreign Policy EstablishmentAlex critiques Mearsheimer’s focus on ideology and the nation-state, arguing for a broader model that distinguishes between America as a nation-state and as a global empire.04:34 – Clip 2: The U.S.-Israel RelationshipMearsheimer discusses the influence of the Israel lobby and U.S. military support. Alex agrees with the factual analysis at the nation-state level but insists the real driver is the empire’s need for control, not just lobbying or ideology.08:33 – Clip 3: The Two-State SolutionMearsheimer claims the U.S. wants peace and a two-state solution. Alex strongly disagrees, arguing that ongoing conflict serves U.S. imperial interests, especially regarding the petrodollar system.10:24 – Clip 4: The Greater Israel Project and Ethnic CleansingMearsheimer details the historical roots and current execution of the Greater Israel agenda. Alex praises this clarity but adds that the American Empire’s structure enables these dynamics.17:58 – Clip 5: Why Israel Wants GazaMearsheimer explains the strategic and ideological motivations for controlling Gaza and neighboring regions. Alex acknowledges the accuracy of the historical analysis and adds economic and geostrategic factors.22:57 – ConclusionAlex summarizes the need for a more dynamic model of American power to understand Middle East geopolitics and global events.Send us a text

Dissecting the Timeline of the Kali Yuga with BIBHU DEV MISRA | Interview

In my last episode, I shared an essay titled "The Kali Yuga Reaches Its Grand Finale", which I wrote as the introduction to my forthcoming new book "The Coming World Nation". As I was doing research for it, I came across the work of scholar Bibhu Dev Misra, who recently published a groundbreaking study of the Hindu Yuga system called "Yuga Shift".  In his book, Bibhu offers an innovative new approach to dating the timeline of the Yuga cycle and we discuss this in detail in a recent interview I conducted with him. In our chat, we focus in particular on dissecting the timeline and themes of the Kali Yuga, the "dark age" of the Yuga Cycle, which mankind has been trapped in for millennia but which Bibhu calculates is soon to be reaching its final end. For more on Bibhu's work, see his website: https://www.bibhudevmisra.com/To check out my essay on the topic, see: https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com Table of Contents00:00 - Introduction and BackgroundIntroduction to Bibhu Dev Misra and his journey from technology to ancient wisdom.05:00 - Understanding Yuga CyclesOverview of the Yuga cycles, different interpretations, and the significance of the Kali Yuga in various cultures.20:00 - Astronomical and Cultural AlignmentsAlignments of Yuga cycles with astronomical cycles and comparisons across cultural traditions.40:00 - Evidence of Lost CivilizationsDiscussion of ancient civilizations, the Younger Dryas impact, and cataclysmic resets in human history.1:00:00 - Materialism and the Kali Yuga's InfluenceHow the Kali Yuga influences materialism and spiritual decline in civilization.1:21:00 - Astrological Calculations and MidpointsInsights into astrological influences on Yuga cycles and the significance of historical midpoints.1:52:00 - Predictions for the End of the Kali YugaExamination of potential signs of the Kali Yuga’s end, including comet impacts and global renewal.2:04:00 - Concluding Thoughts on Spiritual TransformationReflections on the importance of spiritual growth and personal transformation in times of global change.Send us a text
