Breaking History Ep. 109: Russia, the G7 Trap & the Multipolar Rebellion

In Episode 109 of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost unpack the global chessboard with a focus on Russia's tightening alliances and the crumbling credibility of the G7. The hosts examine how Western powers have tried, and failed, to isolate Russia economically and diplomatically, particularly through sanctions and attempts to cap oil revenues. Instead, they reveal how these moves have backfired, accelerating cooperation among BRICS nations and expanding Eurasian integration.
Matt and Ghost also break down the flawed narratives surrounding Putin, the Western media’s selective memory about WWII alliances, and the deep history of U.S. collusion with Nazi-aligned forces post-1945. They argue that the rules-based order is imploding under the weight of its own hypocrisy, and that Russia’s current positioning is not only strategic, but part of a broader rebellion against a unipolar global regime. Packed with historical references and geopolitical insight, this episode delivers a sharp analysis of the shifting world order.

The Daily Herold: July 30, 2025 – Eggleston’s Timing, Burn Bags, and the Clinton Thumb Drives

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold uncovers a damning timeline involving Obama White House Counsel Neil Eggleston and two 2016 FBI meetings, each immediately followed by major developments in the Russia collusion hoax. Jon walks through the chain of events that suggest FBI and DOJ coordination with media outlets via Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, all while Clinton’s thumb drives sat unexamined under the guise of executive privilege. He connects those meetings to the infamous Yahoo News article and the Carter Page FISA warrant, raising questions about narrative warfare.
Other highlights include Trump’s warning to India over tariffs, Powell’s interest rate expectations, Ghislaine Maxwell’s offer to testify in exchange for clemency, and a new Senate letter urging the FBI to review Clinton-era email evidence. Jon also dismantles a media story about “burn bags” at the FBI, arguing it’s cover for the real method of document recovery. With sharp commentary and extensive receipts, this dig-heavy episode explores the RICO threads tying together 2016’s buried scandals and today’s unraveling narratives.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America dissect the mainstream media’s rapid unraveling in real time.

The hosts unpack the collapse of lawfare tactics, citing the timing of the Hunter Biden gun trial, the desperation behind the fake “nuclear secrets” narrative, and the dangerous implications of Judge Boasberg’s rhetoric. Ashe breaks down the power of 4am talking points and the illusion of coordinated messaging, while CannCon points to the growing gaps in media cohesion. With references to the 51 intel letter, social engineering, and DC circuit corruption, this episode pulls back the curtain on a system that’s eating itself alive, and a public that’s finally waking up.

The duo unpacks the complexity of Nick Naylor’s character, not as a villain, but as a truth-teller navigating a society addicted to moral posturing. They discuss the layered dynamics between tobacco, alcohol, and firearms in the cultural consciousness, the role of narrative warfare, and how modern programming conditions our collective assumptions.
From AI's quiet takeover to geopolitical energy manipulation, this isn’t just a film discussion, it’s a dissection of how truth is packaged, sold, and suppressed. With cultural references ranging from the PayPal mafia’s producer credits to comparisons with Watchmen and Silicon Valley, the episode peels back the glossy veneer of storytelling to reveal a much darker, and sometimes liberating, core.
