Devolution Power Hour Ep. 348: Culture War Cage Match – Trump, UFC, and Narrative Warfare

In this wide-ranging and fiery edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright wade deep into the cultural, political, and narrative battles shaping our present reality. Kicking off with a dive into the mainstream media’s desperate attempts to frame the UFC as a hotbed of “deplorable” masculinity, the hosts explore how the promotion's unapologetically anti-woke ethos has made it a narrative battleground, and why Trump’s walk-ins at events hit harder than any punch in the octagon.
From there, they shift into economic brinkmanship, trade war chess, and Trump’s masterful narrative manipulation using tariffs as leverage. The hosts dissect a flurry of global developments, from Putin’s strategic “capitulation” in Ukraine (which aligns eerily well with Trump's three-year-old peace plan) to Europe’s economic collapse and the populist uprising it’s igniting. They also unravel the deeper meaning of what it takes to wage narrative warfare, questioning whether we’re watching a scripted resolution or an ongoing, real battle against rogue state actors.
And yes, they roast the idea of Bill Maher and the establishment media taking a redemption lap, labeling it a tactical "hibernation" strategy to outlast Trump and sneak back into relevance.
Packed with sharp commentary, personal anecdotes (including dead animals in walls and sword lore), and unapologetic truth bombs, this episode is both an information dump and a call to vigilance.
Buckle up...the narrative is shifting, and DPH is here to help you decode it.

Altered State Ep. 25: 9/11 Truth, Rogue Tech, and the AI Takeover of Hollywood

In this episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dive deep into the state of technology, truth, and trauma. They kick things off with a geek-out on custom PC builds, AMD vs. Intel, and the power of AI tools like Grok, before shifting into heavier territory, 9/11. Brad shares exclusive updates on his highly anticipated 9/11 documentary, revealing new animations, damning evidence about World Trade Center 7, and his vision for an interview with Richard Gage of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
The conversation snowballs into a wild ride through Hollywood's AI revolution, the deep state’s historical coverups, and the many unanswered questions surrounding the Pentagon strike, Shanksville, and the vanishing planes. They even bring receipts, like BBC’s premature reporting of WTC 7’s collapse, the miraculous discovery of hijacker passports, and molten steel at Ground Zero.
With nods to Loose Change, Rosie O’Donnell’s 9/11 takes, and some cherry-fueled nostalgia, this episode blends tech talk, gallows humor, and brutal truth-telling in classic Altered State fashion. If you're craving red pills and real talk with zero filters, this one’s for you.

Spellbreakers Ep. 115: Paul Revere - The Elon Musk of the Revolution

In this thoughtful and refreshingly personal episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump takes listeners on a journey through Revolutionary history, industrial innovation, and the spiritual DNA of America. Using the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord as a launchpad, Matt asks a compelling question: was Paul Revere the Elon Musk of the American Revolution?
Exploring Revere's often overlooked contributions beyond his famous midnight ride, Matt highlights Revere’s role as a skilled silversmith, an early adopter of industrial-scale production, and a pioneering manufacturer of rolled copper used in the hulls of ships like the USS Constitution. Revere, Matt argues, represents a rare fusion of patriotism and entrepreneurship, a model of the industrialist as public servant, not shadowy power broker.
Matt shares reflections from a recent visit to Silver City, New Mexico, weaving observations about modern counterculture and patriotism into his storytelling. He offers a spirited defense of Americana, from sixth-grade bicentennial songs to the enduring relevance of the shot heard ’round the world.
In the final act, Matt digs into a bigger historical question: how did America go from Revere’s open, hands-on patriotism to the secretive oligarchy of J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, and the Federal Reserve? With passion and clarity, he sets the stage for future episodes that will trace that arc—and explore how we might reclaim the founding spirit of innovation and liberty.

Breaking History Ep. 93: The Pope Is Dead, Schwab Steps Down, and the Vatican’s Woke Infiltration Exposed

In this fiery episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost deliver a blistering exposé on the globalist power structure behind Pope Francis, the World Economic Forum, and the coordinated collapse of the old world order. With the simultaneous death of Pope Francis and the abrupt resignation of Klaus Schwab, the hosts unpack what they see as a symbolic changing of the guard, and a deeper spiritual and geopolitical shake-up.
Matt dives deep into the Vatican’s alignment with the WEF through the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, exposing Pope Francis’s ties to literal fascist regimes, the Jesuit agenda, and the Great Reset’s spiritual veneer. He traces the Pope’s ideological roots in liberation theology, Operation Condor, and the CIA-backed Argentine junta, raising urgent questions about Francis’s legacy and the Vatican’s role in weaponizing social justice as a tool of global control.
The duo also unpacks the rise of Gaia worship, anti-human eco-theology, and the rebranding of Christianity into a soft-power vehicle for Agenda 2030. Ghost joins in to explore the overlapping collapse of narrative control, the ritualistic timing of world events, and the maneuvering of Trump and Putin amid intensifying Middle East diplomacy and collapsing U.S. embassies abroad.
This episode is an unfiltered reckoning with history, symbolism, and the spiritual battle unfolding in real time.

The Daily Herold: April 23, 2025 – Pentagon Purges, Signal Leaks, and the Deep State’s Last Line of Defense

In this explosive episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold is joined by Gabrielle Cuccia, OANN’s Pentagon correspondent, for a no-holds-barred look inside the power struggle currently erupting at the Department of Defense. They unpack the recent firings of three top Pentagon officials, reportedly linked to the now-infamous Signal chat leaks and potentially tied to covert operations involving China and surveillance developments in Panama.
Gabrielle provides insider details on the memo issued by Hegseth’s team authorizing interagency investigations and polygraphs for leakers, an aggressive move suggesting criminal prosecutions are on the table. They also explore how Hegseth’s position may be more secure than Beltway whisperers suggest, given recent high-level hires and strategic moves.
In a major revelation, Gabrielle confirms that Obama-era deep state figure Susan Rice remains listed on the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board, raising serious questions about oversight, renewal protocols, and whether the administration is fully aware of the swamp it inherited. She reveals her team discovered the issue and likely tipped off Dan Caldwell, who later exposed it on Tucker Carlson.
Jon rounds out the episode with updates on Zelensky's Crimea comments and Trump’s reaction, U.S. economic retaliation against China, Bessant’s IMF overhaul strategy, and the bizarre narrative war against UFC fans and rising support for Trump. As always, Herold delivers critical analysis with zero cheerleading and a warning to stay vigilant...because this is the last shot to fix it.

Badlands Daily: April 23, 2025 – Trump Assassination Plot, Satanic Grooming Networks, and Judicial Treason

In one of the most urgent and emotionally charged episodes of Badlands Daily to date, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by investigative journalist BX on X (aka Bex) for an explosive deep-dive into the satanic online networks targeting American children, and the terrifying assassination plots linked to them. BX walks through her extensive research on the Order of Nine Angles and the 764 Network, outlining how these cult-like groups recruit and groom kids into self-harm, child exploitation, and even terrorist activity, including a thwarted drone bombing targeting President Trump.
The hosts break down how a 17-year-old from Wisconsin was radicalized by these groups and nearly executed a detailed plan provided by foreign actors, complete with bitcoin-financed drone parts and instructions for body disposal. BX explains how this grooming extends from dark corners of Telegram into games like Roblox, which have become prime hunting grounds for traffickers posing as children. The conversation explores the frightening overlap of state-level negligence, global cult behavior, and a failure of institutions to prioritize the most vulnerable.
After the segment, CannCon and Ashe shift to judicial corruption, Supreme Court defiance, Klaus Schwab’s sudden WEF resignation, and the escalating immigration battles across the country. From Colorado’s persecution of Tina Peters to Trump’s RICO indictments of MS-13 in NYC, this episode connects the dots between narrative warfare, institutional rot, and the rise of coalitional chaos.
Raw, real, and absolutely essential.

RattlerGator Report: April 23, 2025 – Hegseth Under Fire, Defense Policy Board Ops, and Trump’s Stealth Pentagon Purge

In this jam-packed edition of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White brings his signature energy, spiritual insight, and unapologetic fire to one of the most explosive episodes yet. Broadcasting from Tallahassee amid technical chaos and BB-gun vandalism, JB dives into the escalating war inside the Department of Defense, where Trump’s America First appointments are triggering panic and leaks among Obama-era holdovers.
Anchoring his analysis in a powerful clip from Dan Caldwell’s Tucker Carlson interview, JB walks through the impressive team Trump is assembling at the Pentagon, from Pete Hegseth’s embattled leadership to rising figures like Elbridge Colby, Dan Raisin Kane, and Troy Mink. He unpacks the deep-state backlash, suggesting a black-ops-style leak campaign is targeting these individuals through the Defense Policy Board, where names like Susan Rice still linger suspiciously.
JB speculates on a behind-the-scenes op possibly involving Elon Musk and even hints at double-agent intrigue surrounding Rice. He also reflects on Schedule F’s strategic implementation, the broader financial chess game involving Bitcoin and gold, and how Trump’s subtle pressure on Jerome Powell may be part of a controlled economic takedown.
From Vatican vibes to Supreme Court power plays and the CIA’s murky legacy, JB weaves it all together in a riveting hour of geopolitical prophecy and patriot passion. Buckle up, Trump 2.0 is just getting started.

OnlyLands Ep. 4: Dead Popes, Rigged Sports, and the Shadow Fed Unveiled

In this off-the-rails and highly entertaining episode of OnlyLands, a rotating cast of Badlands Media personalities takes over the airwaves with their signature blend of sarcasm, substance, and chaos. What starts as Jon’s lonely intro quickly becomes a full house, as the crew riffs on everything from sports conspiracies to baby talk milestones.
The gang shares personal stories, trash-talks the NBA and MLB over their woke pandering, and debates the mechanics of rigged officiating across professional sports. They spiral hilariously through midget jokes, Norm Macdonald 9/11 bits, and Normie red pills, before diving into darker, more consequential topics.
That’s when the show shifts gears: the death of Pope Francis, Klaus Schwab’s resignation, and escalating global finance drama are framed as signs of elite power unraveling. The crew breaks down Trump’s quiet war on the Federal Reserve, the potential gutting of the State Department, and why controlling the money, via Bitcoin, tariffs, or a strategic Fed takedown, is the real battlefield.
Packed with trolling, truth bombs, and absurdity, Ep. 4 is what happens when patriots gather after dark with no filter, no script, and no plan...just raw perspective and good bourbon.

Badlands Story Hour Ep. 113: Full Metal Jacket, Manufactured Monsters, and the Machine That Devours Us All

In this philosophically rich episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright take on Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, unpacking its brutal duality and eerie relevance to today’s global narrative warfare. The conversation begins with an analysis of the film’s two-act structure, boot camp and battlefield, and how Kubrick uses it to depict not just the horrors of war, but the system that transforms human beings into tools of violence.
Chris and BB explore the concept of dehumanization, especially through the lens of Gomer Pyle and Project 100,000, McNamara’s Vietnam-era program to funnel low-IQ recruits into combat. From there, they dive into the eerie symbolism of the film’s final scene, the infamous sniper reveal, and the cultural conditioning that primes entire generations for conflict.
The discussion widens to cover controlled opposition, narrative traps, the media’s role in manufacturing consent, and how the same war machine now operates across Ukraine, Gaza, and the information sphere. They contrast Kubrick’s cinematic truth-telling with today’s hyperreality, where war is not just sold through propaganda but produced as entertainment.
A masterclass in narrative analysis and moral clarity, this episode doesn’t just critique the military-industrial complex...it exposes the spiritual and psychological cost of buying into it.
