Devolution Power Hour Ep. 433: Epstein Psyops, SAVE Act Theater & The Coming Election Reveal

In Episode 433 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright tackle the intensifying Epstein narrative, arguing that mainstream media’s sudden “Q was right” tone may itself be a psychological operation designed to weaponize the story against President Trump. They break down claims circulating about Trump’s presence in the Epstein files, push back on media framing, and examine how parts of the truth community may be unintentionally amplifying anti-Trump messaging.
The conversation shifts to election integrity as they analyze John Solomon’s comments suggesting that significant revelations about 2020 vulnerabilities and foreign interference could soon emerge. Jon and BB debate whether the SAVE Act is a meaningful solution or merely a half measure, and what real election reform would require if systemic fraud is exposed.
Throughout the episode, they emphasize discernment, resisting rage bait, and refusing to settle for cosmetic fixes. With impeachment narratives resurfacing and midterms looming, the hosts frame the moment as a test of resolve: stay focused on structural reform, not surface validation.

Altered State S4 Ep. 17: Brennan Subpoenas, Pandemic Reckoning & Deep State Panic

In Season 4, Episode 17 of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine open with a sharp critique of legacy narratives, revisiting Eric Swalwell’s past writings before pivoting into breaking developments in the Florida grand jury investigation tied to John Brennan and the broader “grand conspiracy” surrounding Russiagate. The hosts examine new subpoenas, alleged coordination among former intelligence officials, and what they view as mounting panic within establishment circles, including activity surrounding the Munich Security Conference.
The conversation then turns into a wide-ranging retrospective on COVID-19, from Event 201 and vaccine rollouts to hospital protocols, media messaging, and personal experiences with illness and loss. Brad and Zak question official narratives about virus origins, vaccine safety, fertility impacts, and long-term health consequences, while reflecting on how the pandemic reshaped public trust and civil liberties.
The episode closes with audience Q&A, discussion of community meetups, support for independent platforms like Rumble Wallet, and a preview of next week’s 9/11-focused deep dive.

The Shipwreck Show Ep. 42: Awakening to Epstein's Shadows: Victims, Zorro Ranch Sale, and the Unfinished Exposé

Join me and guest Jordan Sather (@Jordan_Sather_) as we center the real victims of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking empire amid the chaos of 2026. The DOJ's massive file release brought horrors to light (torture evidence, rituals, thousands of media items), but sloppy redactions have harmed nearly 100 survivors and shielded powerful names. Now, Epstein's infamous Zorro Ranch has a new owner—Don Huffines, tied to Thomas Massie's campaigns—who's "transforming" it into a Christian retreat. Coincidence or controlled narrative? We discuss the grand jury still investigating co-conspirators, questions around funded survivor advocacy (Hoffman ads, NGO involvement), political virtue-signaling on transparency, and why the elite's games keep justice delayed. Survivors first—truth over optics.

Space Revolution Ep. 6: Mining the Sky, Zero Gravity Building & Democratizing the Essentials of Life

In Episode 6 of Space Revolution, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast and guest Brad Zerbo explore how mining asteroids and building in zero gravity could transform life on Earth. The discussion centers on three pillars of prosperity in space: information, energy, and resources, and how tapping into them could support the eight essentials of life, air, water, food, shelter, information, energy, transportation, and healthcare.
They examine robotic asteroid mining, 3D printing structures in zero gravity, and the possibility of constructing entire homes in space and delivering them gently to Earth. The conversation highlights reusable rockets, renewable satellites, space-based energy beaming, and using water in space as fuel. Kwast emphasizes that reducing the cost of energy and materials could uplift the human condition globally while preserving Earth from destructive mining practices.
Throughout the episode, they stress the importance of moral leadership, constitutional principles, and decentralizing control so individuals, not centralized powers, retain access to life’s essentials. The show concludes with a recommended reading of Mining the Sky and a call for citizens to engage politically to guide this revolution responsibly.

MAHA Living Ep. 4 – Basics of Biomechanics (Postural Distortions and Muscular Imbalances)

In Episode 4 of MAHA Living, Jordan Sather shifts gears into a whiteboard deep dive on movement, posture, and the foundational principles of biomechanics. Prompted by viewer questions about back pain and improper exercise programming, Jordan explains how poor movement patterns, prolonged sitting, and modern habits contribute to joint pain, muscular imbalances, and long-term dysfunction.
He breaks down the physics of joint movement, the “yin-yang” relationship between tight and weak muscles, and the concept of the instantaneous axis of rotation. From forward head posture and rounded shoulders to anterior pelvic tilt and upper and lower cross syndromes, Jordan outlines common distortion patterns and the muscle groups typically involved.
The episode also covers practical self-assessments like the plumb line test, along with corrective strategies including prone cobra holds, planks, eccentric hamstring loading, and proper deadlifting mechanics. Emphasizing a holistic view of health beyond food and chemicals, Jordan connects posture to blood flow, nerve signaling, breathing, and overall vitality.
