Spellbreakers Ep. 114: Is China's Population Data Faked?

In this introspective episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump invites viewers into a deep dive on one of the strangest modern mysteries: Is the population of China, officially 1.4 billion, massively overstated? Matt explores mounting skepticism, viral video evidence, and a peer-reviewed study from the University of Chicago suggesting China's economy may be a third the size we've been told, raising questions about both GDP and population accuracy.
From eerily empty cities and subway stations to baffling inconsistencies in voting and census data, the episode also explores similar suspicions around inflated figures in countries like Nigeria, where official stats say 250 million citizens exist, but turnout and population density tell another story. Matt ties it all together with reflections on political incentives, demographic manipulation, and the danger of blindly trusting state-provided data.
Then the show pivots to a crash course in the Opium Wars, tracing how British opium traders destabilized 19th-century China and laid the foundation for Western dominance and the so-called "Century of Humiliation." With Hong Kong, reparations, and imperial concessions on the table, Matt weaves historical parallels to modern global power plays and hints at where the rabbit hole might lead next week, with a tease about American ties to the opium trade... and JFK.

The Daily Herold: April 16, 2025 – Executive Orders, Deportation Drama, and the Deep State’s Nervous Breakdown

Jon Herold returns with a solo scorcher on The Daily Herold, covering a whirlwind of stories from the Trump administration’s latest executive orders to the unraveling of deep state operatives and judicial overreach. Jon breaks down seven new Trump EOs focused on lowering prescription drug prices, securing critical minerals, streamlining infrastructure permits, and, most explosively, barring illegal aliens from receiving Social Security benefits. He doesn’t hold back on how insane it is that this wasn’t already a policy.
From there, Jon dissects the legal theatrics surrounding the deportation of MS-13-linked Kilmar Garcia, calling out Judge Boasberg’s contempt threat as toothless grandstanding. He covers Pam Bondi’s legal smackdown on Maine over women's sports protections, Gavin Newsom’s laughable lawsuit against Trump’s tariffs, and Biden’s return to public speaking (complete with signature gaffes).
But the real heat comes with breaking news: Letitia James is now under federal criminal referral for mortgage fraud, the exact offense she used to hammer Trump. Jon also dives into the mass resignation of the Pentagon’s tech team linked to the mysterious IP address handoff in 2020, DOJ letters targeting Mueller’s prosecution team, and two senior Pentagon officials fired over classified leaks. From CIA shakeups to media pool purges, Jon tracks every signal in the noise.

Breaking History Ep. 92: Satanic Terror Cults, Ukraine's Deep State Web, and the Nuclear Power Trap

In this gripping episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost plunge into the underworld of global manipulation, connecting modern geopolitical unrest with occult ideologies, intelligence ops, and the weaponization of narrative. They open with the shocking story of a 17-year-old killer groomed by a Satanic neo-Nazi cult known as the Order of Nine Angles, an organization with direct ties to Atomwaffen, Islamic extremism, eco-terrorism, and, astonishingly, FBI funding.
The duo unpacks the cult’s methods, occult origins, and global reach, showing how intelligence agencies worldwide weaponize fringe ideologies to destabilize societies. Ukraine emerges as a central hub of this dark web, fueling trafficking, radicalization, and psyops, while U.S. officials quietly back a rickety foreign policy built on lies and blood money.
The conversation widens into the 2024 resurrection of the Iran nuclear deal, an agreement that could reshape energy, regional power dynamics, and expose Israel’s long-denied nuclear arsenal. Matt and Ghost dissect the global elite’s resistance to nuclear energy democratization and how Western oligarchs push deindustrialization under the green mask.
From ancient mysticism to modern sabotage, this episode traces the fingerprints of empire, revealing how false flags, ideological grooming, and strategic ignorance are used to maintain control. It's part history lesson, part red-pill overdose, and absolutely essential listening.

Badlands Daily: April 16, 2025 – Tish James Under Fire, Smurfing Exposed, and the Sanctuary Cities Crackdown Begins

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running in this high-octane episode of Badlands Daily, covering everything from massive voter fraud operations to elite-level legal boomerangs. First up: Letitia James. The New York Attorney General who came after Trump is now facing criminal referral herself, over alleged mortgage fraud, falsified records, and some eyebrow-raising residency claims. Ashe and CannCon dig into the legal implications and political irony, with plenty of trolling along the way.
They also blow the lid off the smurfing racket, laundered campaign donations disguised as grassroots contributions, and the shady $100 million funneling through the 1630 Fund. From weaponized ballot initiatives to ranked-choice voting manipulation, the crew exposes how the Uniparty quietly rewrites state constitutions behind closed doors.
Shifting gears, they torch the Left’s attempt to martyr an MS-13-linked illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, as Chris Van Hollen grandstands on foreign soil. Ashe breaks down the real legal inconsistencies behind his asylum claim, while CannCon points out the media’s selective outrage over due process.
Plus: the Pentagon’s leaker problem, Musk’s silent purge of tech traitors, Zeldin’s EPA takedown, and Trump’s strategic moves to clean the Social Security database, which just might double as a covert voter roll cleanup op. This episode is packed, sharp, and not to be missed.

RattlerGator Report: April 16, 2025 – Flynn’s War Path, Schedule F Revival, and the China Tariff Takedown

JB White returns with a fiery episode of the RattlerGator Report, diving headfirst into the power moves, psyops, and strategic warfare shaping Trump 2.0’s offensive. From General Flynn’s no-holds-barred call for treason arrests, including Obama, Brennan, and Rice, to the revival of Schedule F as the ultimate deep state-clearing weapon, JB lays out the real battle plan behind the chaos.
He unpacks the escalating trade war with China, spotlighting Kevin O’Leary’s bombshell radio appearance and the strategic pressure on Chinese firms exploiting U.S. legal loopholes. JB doesn’t hold back on media wordplay either, torching the left’s narrative about a “mistaken removal” of an MS-13 member and dismantling DOJ disinfo one rhetorical grenade at a time.
There’s also an impassioned defense of Stephen Miller and General Flynn, a breakdown of why normies are finally catching on to the Sun Tzu-style Trump doctrine, and a big-picture analysis of how Schedule F is being tactically reshaped to gut entrenched bureaucracy without firing a shot.
From shout-outs to Badlands' upcoming Plymouth stop to a few hilarious tangents about styes, football, and “Pip Jennies,” this episode is classic RattlerGator...unfiltered, unrelenting, and unapologetically America First.

OnlyLands Ep. 3: Space Psyops, Penis Rockets, MS-13 Narratives, and Public Meltdowns

The Badlands crew returns for another unfiltered After Dark roundtable in OnlyLands Ep. 3, and this time, they're aiming straight for the stratosphere, sort of. With an all-star lineup of hosts and surprise appearances, the gang dissects Jeff Bezos’ all-female Blue Origin flight, affectionately dubbed the "Astrothought" mission. Katy Perry kissing dirt, Gayle King demanding respect, and a spacecraft that suspiciously resembles a novelty bachelor party prop? Yeah, they go there.
As the conversation spirals hilariously from feminine footwear in space to fake weightlessness and suspicious studio sets, the hosts draw parallels to Toy Story, The Morning Show, and the broader psyop of the "space obsession" narrative. But it doesn’t stop at rockets. The team also tackles the media spin on MS-13 deportations, Kamala's DMZ cosplay, and the absurdity of billionaire behavior, complete with Jeff Bezos' glow-up breakdown and a fiery debate about getting laid via space exploration.
From rogue courtrooms and viral livestream blunders to the real reason Americans are being distracted from what matters, this episode serves up a heady mix of laughter, outrage, and insight. Packed with satire, space dust, and a dash of pure chaos, this one’s a zero-gravity ride you won’t want to miss.

Badlands Story Hour Ep. 112: Top Gun Maverick – Masculinity, Mission, and the Future of Warfare with Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast

In this powerhouse episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright welcome retired Lieutenant General Steven Kwast for an electrifying breakdown of Top Gun: Maverick. More than just a blockbuster, this film becomes a launchpad for deep conversation about modern warfare, American identity, masculinity, and technological transition.
The trio explores how the film reinvigorated national morale during a demoralized cultural moment, how it brilliantly balances archetypal storytelling with real-world nuance, and what it says about the current struggle between man and machine. General Kwast, who’s actually lived the life Maverick embodies, offers insider insight into the physical toll of combat, the training and mindset of elite fighter pilots, and how ego, humility, and intuition collide in life-or-death decisions.
They dive into the spiritual nature of heroism, the psychological cost of war, and the real-world threats posed by information warfare and silent societal sabotage. From the dangers of AI and energy weaponization to the role of America as the last great hope for global liberty, this conversation is as uplifting as it is urgent.
One part military analysis, one part cultural therapy, this is not your average movie review...it’s a mission debrief for the soul.

Badlands Book Club Ep. 5: Government Gangsters by Kash Patel – Chapters 8 & 9

In this no-holds-barred installment of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive headfirst into Chapters 8 and 9 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, unpacking one of the most explosive blueprints for deep state destruction ever put to print. From dismantling the FBI’s corrupt Washington command structure to exposing the FISA Court’s Kafkaesque abuses, this episode is packed with firepower.
Ashe and Cann explore Patel’s proposed reforms for congressional oversight, special counsel restructuring, and decentralizing FBI power to prevent political capture. They dig into Patel’s takedown of DOJ jurisdiction shopping and the weaponization of the General Counsel’s office, all while tying in real-time moves in D.C., including Ed Martin’s nomination and Dan Bongino’s cryptic call for patience.
But the heat doesn’t stop there. Chapter 9 jumps into Patel’s firsthand account of the first Trump impeachment, blowing up the media narrative with facts, sworn testimony, and stunning insight into how the deep state used projection, lies, and backchannel gossip to smear a president, and implicate Patel himself. It’s not just history...it’s a playbook, and the Badlands crew lays it all bare.
