The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast

In this episode, I revisit the events of the October 7th attack on Israel. The goal is to move beyond certain oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the event that have become prominent. There is a lot more here than what first meets the eye.The article can be read on my Substack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comSections: 1. Others Were Involved with the 10/7 Attacks Besides Hamas2. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Uneasy Allies3. The Strategic Objectives Behind Operation Al-Aqsa Flood4. The IDF’s Counter-Response Killed Many Israeli Citizens5. Israeli Intelligence had Foreknowledge of the AttackThis article is the first in a series. Stay tuned for the rest. I should point out that in this article I revise some of my initial conceptions of the 10/7 attack, which I discussed in earlier episodes from late October.- Alexwww.alexsachon.comSend us a text

I'm excited to announce that my book on Manly P. Hall is now available on Amazon in North America and Europe! (If that link doesn't work there's a link on my website: www.alexsachon.com.) The book is a re-edited and reformatted version of the original series released on my podcast and Substack last year. When I originally wrote it, I intended it to be a book and to be read, so I'm very happy that it's finally available in that form.In this podcast episode, I offer a summary and overview of the book, tell you what it's about, why I wrote it, and why I think Manly P. Hall is such a notable figure in modern world history.For a limited time, I'm offering a book-launch bundle featuring a signed copy of the book and a limited-release t-shirt. My plan is to ship these mid-December. It's available on my e-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.com.Thank you for following and for your support so far. If you've been through the series already please leave a positive review on Amazon! That would really help attract a new audience to it. - AlexSend us a text

In this episode, I interview UFO researcher Walter Bosley about the 19th-century origins of the UFO mystery. This is important, because when you move into this often-overlooked aspect of the story it becomes clear that secretive human groups and not aliens are behind the phenomenon.Walter's book "Origin: The 19th Century Emergence of the 20th Century Breakaway Civilizations" was a big influence on my own work on this topic, which I covered as part of my "The Secret History of the 20th Century" series (soon to be released as a book).Walter's website is http://walterbosley.comMine is http://alexsachon.comIf you're interested in the UFO topic, also check out my previous interview with Nick Cook!Intro beat: by my friend Ryan aka Otto Moss.

In this episode, I continue my Gaza coverage by commenting on Col. Douglas MacGregor's recent appearances on Redacted and Tucker Carlson, where he warns of the threat of large scale war should Israel continue its persecution of Gaza.  In this discussion, I sample several clips from these two appearances and analyze them in depth. I also comment on a clip from Bret Weinstein's "Dark Horse" podcast, where he discusses the problems with the official story of Hamas's October 7th terrorist attack. Website: www.alexsachon.comSubstack: thewisdomtradition.substack.com- AlexSend us a text

NOTE: I have since updated and refined my perspective on these events.  In particular, I now I have better understanding of the October 7th attack and the various components of it. See my article/podcast called "October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear" for more.In today's episode I'm joined by Franklin O'Kanu, author of the Unorthodoxy Substack, to discuss the current situation in the Middle East regarding Israel, Hamas, and the Gaza Strip. The discussion starts with a consideration of the immediate elements at play in  Hamas's original terrorist attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent carpet bombing and ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.  Then we zoom out and I offer my take on the larger geopolitical circumstances going on behind the conflict and what it says about the shifting circumstances of US empire.This is a topic I plan on revisiting and probing further into in future episodes. For more background context, see my series on the "Secret History of the 20th Century", in particular the episodes/articles concerning oil geopolitics and the petrodollar.- Alex www.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comSend us a text

In today's episode I'm sharing a recent interview I had with Nick Cook,  author of "The Hunt for Zero Point", an essential book in UFO research. In this conversation, we talk about the story of him coming to write the book, the existence of an invisible government within America possessing a hidden arsenal of advanced technologies,  the relationship of this secret government to the 19th century airship mysteries, the WWII-era Nazi black projects empire of Hans Kammler, and more.Much of what we discuss builds on ideas and themes I've been exploring in recent episodes of the podcast. I hope you enjoy the conversation, and thank you to Nick Cook for taking the time to chat. For more on his work, see his site: www.nickcook.worksMy site: www.alexsachon.com- AlexSend us a text
