Financial expert Peter Grandich discusses the precarious state of the American economy, emphasizing his deeply bearish outlook on the stock market. He argues that the middle class is eroding due to unsustainable debt, while a small elite holds the vast majority of wealth. Grandich expresses skepticism toward Bitcoin and AI, viewing them as speculative bubbles, while favoring gold and silver as essential assets for capital preservation. Beyond finance, he warns of increasing social and political division in the United States, highlighting risks such as civil unrest and demographic shifts. Ultimately, he encourages a philosophy of “less is more” and a return to faith to navigate a future defined by economic decline.

In 2013, Grandich founded the Athletes & Business Alliance (ABA), a private organization of professional athletes and business executives who exchange ideas and build relationships with an emphasis on capitalizing on the talents of all involved. A symbiotic organization, ABA is a network of accomplished individuals in an environment where one can develop personal associations with a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. The ABA boasts a select membership of diverse senior-level executives, high net worth business owners, and both active and retired pro athletes. By invitation only, high-level corporate and business decision-makers and prominent athletes intermingle. To achieve success, businesses must utilize effective marketing tools, secure new customers to generate repeat business and provide superior customer service that engenders loyalty. The ABA provides an environment to do this and more. In late 2020, Peter closed all professional athlete related business. Peter Grandich currently resides in New Jersey with his wife, Mary, and they have one daughter, Tara. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

Emanuel Pastreich, an independent U.S. presidential candidate and academic, recounts his personal experience with institutional suppression after proposing academic cooperation between American and Asian universities, which he claims led to him being forced out of the country. The discussion expands into a critique of the military-industrial complex, suggesting that global conflicts are driven by private banks and IT giants seeking to convert corporate debt into national debt. He describes an invisible war characterized by mass psychological trauma, nanotechnology, and the rise of a digital fascism that utilizes biometric surveillance. Pastreich emphasizes that this global governance is already in place, operating through a Blackstone model where private equity and intelligence firms control strategic stakes in sovereign nations. Ultimately, he calls for a moral vanguard of truth-tellers to utilize scientific methods to resist this pervasive technological and political takeover.

The conversation also covers data-driven targeting, global export of border tech, and imagining alternatives to a militarized border.

Tom-Oliver Regenauer, independent author and publisher who critiques technocracy, outlines a neo-feudal world order and the EU as a continuation of past power structures.

Will Spencer, a writer and mentor on Christianity and male formation, recounts leaving two decades of New Age and psychedelics for biblical faith.

Alfred McCoy, Harrington Professor of History and author on the CIA and Cold War, sketches how covert operatives shaped global events.
