Badlands Story Hour Ep. 111: Patton

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into the 1970 epic Patton, exploring the layers of propaganda, myth-making, and narrative warfare woven through one of the most iconic war films in American cinema. From George C. Scott’s unforgettable portrayal of the larger-than-life general to the subversive undertones of spectacle and staged heroism, the hosts examine whether Patton was a real warrior or a crafted psyop, and why the answer might be both.
They break down how Patton blurs the line between soldier and symbol, drawing uncanny parallels to modern figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and questioning the nature of heroism in a world driven by narrative manipulation. Along the way, they discuss reincarnation, globalist agenda-setting, the use of wartime theater to shape public consciousness, and the neocon rebranding of American power post-WWII.
With incisive commentary, philosophical insights, and a healthy dose of historical revisionism, Chris and BB show how Patton serves not just as a portrait of a man, but as a mirror for a regime willing to write its own legend at any cost. A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the true nature of war, propaganda, and power.

Brad & Abbey Live Ep. 145: Manufactured Rage, Chemtrail Truth, and the Weaponized Left

Brad and Abbey Zerbo tear into the scripted hysteria behind the latest anti-Trump protests, complete with handouts, talking points, and zero comprehension. With on-the-ground clips of confused demonstrators and deep dives into the shady funding network behind groups like Indivisible and ActBlue, the duo exposes how Democrats are orchestrating a campaign of emotional manipulation and mob programming under the guise of “resistance.”
They unpack the radical rhetoric of Bob Avakian’s revolution-pushing pamphlets, which label half of Americans as fascists and call for insurrection outside of the electoral process. Brad and Abbey lay bare the real agenda: collapse the system to usher in globalist control.
From the absurdity of “peaceful” protestors screaming in robotic chants to the true story of a female fencer disqualified for refusing to fight a biological male, this episode hits every cultural fault line. And on a hopeful note, they spotlight Nicole Shanahan and RFK Jr.’s announcement that HHS will investigate geoengineering and chemtrails, along with coming scrutiny of fluoride in U.S. water systems.
Packed with humor, righteous anger, and well-earned “I told you so’s,” this is Brad & Abbey at their best: informing, exposing, and empowering in equal measure.

Badlands Book Club Ep. 4: Government Gangsters by Kash Patel – Chapters 6 & 7

In this explosive installment of the Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapters 6 & 7 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, two of the most shocking and revealing chapters yet. From the weaponization of the FBI against Trump to the inner workings of the Russiagate cover-up, they lay out the corruption that poisoned America’s most powerful institutions. Ashe and CannCon break down how the Nunes memo landed like a bombshell, exposing the FBI’s coordinated campaign of lies, and how Adam Schiff and friends responded with media smears, personal attacks, and targeted disinformation.
They also dive deep into the infamous Mar-a-Lago raid, unpacking how the same Deep State players from Russiagate resurfaced to protect their secrets and bury the truth. The crew explores how declassified documents were buried, how the raid was used to seize the Crossfire Hurricane files, and why all roads lead back to the Obama-era intelligence infrastructure. With powerful sidebars on election strategy, midterm timing, and the constitutional authority of the presidency, Ashe and CannCon connect Patel’s revelations to the bigger picture: how this all ends, and why the American people must win.
Part history lesson, part strategy session, this episode makes one thing clear: we’re not just reading a book, we’re watching a regime collapse in real time.

Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 127: The Satanic Fed Op Behind 764, Pedo Networks & Psychological Warfare with Special Guest, BX

In this chilling and deeply researched episode, Jon Herold, Zak “RedPill78” Paine, and BX pull back the curtain on one of the darkest networks lurking online: the 764 cult. BX breaks down how the group weaponizes sextortion, ritual abuse, and satanic imagery to target vulnerable minors, coercing them into acts of violence, self-harm, and even suicide. They reveal the disturbing connections between the Order of Nine Angles, federal informants like Joshua Caleb Sutter, and the FBI’s shadowy role in shaping domestic terror narratives.
The hosts explore how Satanism is used both as a real tactic for ritual control and as a tool for public manipulation, connecting threads through Operation Gladio, MI6 assets like Aleister Crowley, and intelligence psyops masquerading as “Fed-busting.” They discuss the media’s silence, the role of federal sting operations, and why public denial of these horrors makes them easier to perpetuate.
This isn’t your average conspiracy show, it’s an unflinching look at spiritual warfare, state-run terror, and the cost of looking away.
