I hope everyone is living their best life despite the created chaos intended to destabilize us. Several people have inquired about my not writing extensive research articles lately. Here’s what’s up…
There is actually a confluence of merging events that requires me to pause and think long and hard about whether the next step is correct for our CTH community in general, and specifically for me personally. It’s also very hard to write about this stuff without sounding like a braggadocious nut.
Here’s the problem that 360 million+ people do not comprehend.
♦ I need you to think about the person you are familiar with who you believe has a solid grasp of the scale of the problem in DC. This person doesn’t need to solve it, they just need to understand how massive the problem is. Who is the person you would say understands the root and essential core problem that creates the corruption in DC? Does that person in your mind, the person who really understands at a granular level what this corrupt enterprise is really all about and how it works, does that person look like Donald Trump, or Devin Nunes, or Kash Patel, or Ric Grenell?
Who would you assign that competency skillset to? Seriously, no joke – honest question, who understands the scale of the problem?
Here’s the hard pill to swallow, it doesn’t matter what name you put down, you are wrong. None of the aforementioned names, or any others, have a total picture of the problem from both a macro and micro view. None of them do.
The silo system in DC creates impenetrable barriers. I have not found a single person who knows how it all works and connects as a corrosive cancer buried deep inside our U.S. political system.
Factually, and I mean this with no joke at all, if you have been reading here for a while you have a better grasp on the problem than any elected politician. This is not a disposable line. I’m deadly serious. I have not found a single person inside the system who understands the dynamic that creates what they claim to stand against, not a single person.
So how can they fix it? Short answer, they can’t.
The only people qualified to fix this mess are the people who understand it.
Again, do you know who that is?
It’s YOU!
♦ After 12 years of stewardship over our conversation, literally 24/7/365, I also admitted I was not following my own advice. As Dr. Stephen Covey would say, “I was not sharpening the saw.”
I did not write for 3 days over the Memorial Day holiday of 2011, but other than that (and time spent in Hurricane recovery) every day I have researched, written and worked on this labor of love we call the Treehouse.
As time continued, the network of the Treehouse resources grew. We now have the ability to contact and review just about every facet of that previously described corrupt system.
I spend more time in contact with those resources now, answering their questions and raising a few more nuanced points for my own inquires. This, along with travel to educate myself, is how I can assert with confidence that no one understands the problem better than, well, us.
However, when you spend time facing down this corrupt system, it starts to gnaw at you… bigly. I am a person with strong central disposition, not easily knocked off mission and certainly not ever destabilized by the professional liars. But dealing with them, writing about their schemes, putting the sunlight on them (not what they would have us see) while constantly monitoring their moves, is exhausting.
♦ At the same time as the above came into clarity, I was also planning for the 2024 election year. Y’all know it’s going to be ugly… the scale of government institutions that are going to align against Donald Trump is going to make 2016 seem like a stroll in the park.
Part of that planning included the potential to launch a twice weekly recap podcast. Literally a mechanism to distill CTH articles and analysis into 30-minute, no extra words, straight talk about events. Twice a week (Sat/Wed). Self-hosted and only viewed here on CTH as the originating platform.
Everything at CTH stays the same, but every Saturday and Wednesday there would be a recap video on the more challenging stuff. Many people have asked, but there are a lot of issues that need to be worked out before such an endeavor is considered.
I discussed the technical issues with our server and data processing group, they feel confident they could handle the traffic. However, that’s the same thing they said right before the unique CTH issue of ‘simultaneous users’ surprised them.
Put it all together and I decided to sit still and pray about the next steps.
It is true that something has to change, something or someone needs to break through the nonsense and pretending. It is also true that continuing to do the same thing while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
I made a promise to pause, think, study, learn and pray before making any decision. And I needed the break.
I’m right here with you.
Love to all, steadfast!
~ Sundance
Please do it!!!
whatever you do I/we (and those are not my pronouns) are all in. thank you for the huge sacrifice you make.
Hi Sundance, my hope has always been that you be the Advisor to PDJT even if your position remains anonymous. He , we all need you. I know PDJT can’t do this alone.
Then advise us how to help.
Would be a total fan of the podcast, sir. Just remember if government forces try to interfere, we will be packed and loaded and under way to Fort Sundance when needed.
We are visual learners, cold anger can be beautiful. If the goal is to reach a wider audience, it’s a worthy one. Yet somehow I fear this is the difference between radio and television and the medium becomes the message. Peace be with you, SD, and thank you for looping us in. : ))
Thank YOU, Sundance.
Your impact on Americans who care enough to learn and grow cannot be overstated.
We support you and thank you for leading us on our path of Awakening.
God bless you and all who make the Treehouse our refuge, including Menagerie and all the Admins. Praying unceasingly for all Treepers 🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
Onward through the fog. Thanks Sundance
Oat Willie.
The whole world is a mess.
Truth will prevail.
You are not guilty of the sin of despair because you obviously haven’t denied the sole cure for sin which is defined as God’s love and forgiveness. However, it is easy to see your secular mission to fix the United States as hopeless. I share that misgiving but hope you continue against the odds as it helps keep me centered as it does many others here. For now, I am waiting and learning and your writing is an important part of the latter.
Whatever you decide, you will have my understanding.
Xox
Beautiful!!
Sundance
When your Spirit is rested and ready,
KEEP ON KEEPING ON
✝️🙏❤️
If anyone deserves to step back and breathe for a minute, Sundance, it’s you. I hate where my country is right now, but I thank God every day for the Treehouse. Many, many sleepless nights have been spent going deep into the weeds with you and the crew. For that, I will be forever grateful. Rest well. We’ll keep the light on for you!
Sundance, have you thought about outlining previous content of major importance?
Many of your posts about current events include reviews of past events. A series to bring all of us up to speed.
way too much time.
Just use the ‘search’ mechanism here to find topics, it can bring you a ton of material.
Both take the viewer’s time.
Sundance could just add links to the post with video for background for those who want to spend the time.
But if the goal is to teach newbies the truth, something will be needed to bring them up to speed.
Just a suggestion to do it in the same format.
No explanations necessary, Sundance! You run this show. Just as long as you’re OK.
I printed this column to PDF so I could use a free, online AI PDF document summarizer for the first time which recently came online:

Summary
The author of the document explains why they have not been writing extensive research articles lately. They state that there is a confluence of merging events that requires them to think about the next steps for their community in general and for themselves personally. They emphasize that no elected politician truly understands the scale of the corruption problem in DC, and that the only people qualified to fix it are the people who understand it, including the readers. The author also discusses their stewardship over their conversation and their commitment to researching and writing about the corruption in the US political system. However, they admit that dealing with the corrupt system is exhausting and that it has started to take a toll on them. They mention planning for the 2024 election year and the potential launch of a recap podcast. They discuss technical issues and the need to work things out before moving forward. The author concludes by stating that something needs to change and that they have made a promise to pause, think, study, learn, and pray before making any decisions.
That’s new service by the same place that created this free YouTube video transcript grabber:
https://youtubetranscript.com/
Just as an interesting point I noticed long ago, unlike any other YouTube channel I’ve ever seen, all Fox transcripts on YouTube are in ALL CAPS making them unusable for simple cut and paste unless first run through a word editor that has a “change case” function.
That’s interesting. Microsoft now has “Co-pilot” it could be just one word.
I don’t know. Copilot is evolved from “Clippy” that annoying paper clip dude that
always wanted to help people.
I am cynical period. I think AI is going to be “the” excuse they (government) will use to justify their actions.
Their is this tiny Mr. Hopium in me that thinks that maybe we can use AI to defeat them.
Just thinking out loud.
I think AI is going to be “the” excuse they (government) will use to justify their actions.
Since AI uses human generated “authoritative” “facts,” it is highly susceptible to propaganda as has been shown by CAGW skeptic Tony Heller when asking AI bots about climate change. As with any data processing computer program, it’s “garbage in, garbage out.” They cannot judge the validity of dogmatic scientific and political “facts”… YET. As pointed out by Scott Adams, if and when they can do THAT, they will be banned or in some other way hampered because THAT would allow anyone to see through the FICTIONAL WORLD in which they THINK they live.
There is also a recent article about how, as AI generated content becomes more prevalent, that effect will lead to garbage compounding garbage – garbage squared.
When it comes to simply summarizing a long PDF, I see great value in AI.

PsyWars: Fifth Generation Warfare and Sovereignty
Molding, controlling, and capturing your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are the objectives.
ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
3 Feb 2023
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/psywars-fifth-generation-warfare
Over the last three years, Western governments, non-governmental organizations, transnational organizations, pharmaceutical industry corporations, media and financial corporations have cooperated via public-private partnerships, which I assert is a euphemism for fascism, to deploy the most massive globally harmonized, psychological, and propaganda operation in the history of the world. Over the last three years, you have been subjected to the most massive harmonized, globally coordinated propaganda campaign in the history of the Western world, full stop.
My mouth is getting dry talking about these things. I do feel a little passionate. With this campaign, the governments of many Western nation states have turned, okay, this is key, military-grade, psychological operations, strategies, tactics, technologies, and capabilities developed for modern military combat against their own citizens. These are inconvenient facts. The world that many of us believed existed no longer exists if it ever did.
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country… We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of… In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons… who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward L. Bernays in his classic text “Propaganda” – 1928
Someone should teach this AI-bot that ‘they’ is plural, and ungrammatical to use in reference to a singular subject.
Whether it’s “We” or not, I don’t know.
What I do know is that “We” cannot fix “it” until our election system is fixed to give us a fair opportunity. I am surprised everyday that the Trump team hasn’t done that.
Who has the control? It’s definitely not the Trump team. The more we learn, the more I realize that “President” is in name only, controlling maybe 20%. The rest is entrenched deep state.
Elections can only be “repaired” at the local level, with state legislators and election officials committed to honest and fair elections, and a judicial structure that actually enforces written law.
Those trying to silence conservative voices know this, and have infiltrated/taken over the election mechanisms in evert state I’m aware of.
President Trump cannot do this. It us up to us, in our own communities, and will take decades.
Something else to be aware of. Hillary Clinton went on The View last week. I’m going to quote her. “I can’t even think that because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it,” Clinton told host Sunny Hostin. “And I don’t say that lightly.” Think about what she’s saying. If Donald Trump being elected was going to end our country, certainly the left would be justified in doing whatever it had to do to stop him, be it constitutional, or not. Once again, they are drawing the battle line, and it’s way ahead of where our side is. They’re telling you out front, Trump is trying to destroy the country, and we’re going to stop him. By any means. And we are justified in doing it. We ignore that at our own peril.
What Hilary means is electing Trump again will destroy their (the Progressive left) power and control over this country. Not the country itself. We are designed to be a constitutional republic – not a democracy “mob rules” country. WE are supposed to have most of the power under our constitution. They are afraid and are slowly being cornered with all the evidence that keeps being exposed to us about their doings.
Yes!
And our states.
If I had a dime for every time Hellcat has said “it would be the end of our country as we know it”… well… I’d have one HELL of a pile of dimes on my hands…
Please consider that you’ll need a crew of people able to help you engineer this project because it, along with the Treehouse, will be a massive and exhausting endeavor–and as good as you are, if you go on the DL, it will fall apart, and its results would be subtraction by addition.
That having been said, if you can do it, GO FOR IT, but as was phrased long ago, “Memento mori”!
Whatever you need-we’ve got your back. Wolverines!
I am praying for you, Sundance. Praying for your wisdom and the collective wisdom of the CTH that we can maximize our collective influence for good for this country and the world. Praying for our protection. Praying for your health. Praying that we can grow so that not too much is dependent on one person. Praying that God will guide We the People as he clearly did in the birth of this nation, so that we can act in a way that fulfills our purpose as created beings to reflect His glory and goodness.
Amen!
I encourage you to pray and meditate on your path forward. With God’s help and his wisdom and guidance the truth through you as a conduit will prevail. Thank you for all the illumination and clarity you have shared with us. We are all better for it. May God bless you.
Rush used an old expression that is perfectly apt to where you find yourself; “Pioneers get the arrows”. You sir like Rush and Andrew Breitbart are a pioneer and the arrows come in many ways part of would be fatigue, “negative” information overload.
To do what you do is like a plumber you’re continually cleaning up sh_t sometimes some will get on you must wash your hands clean up and carry on, if you intend to be a plumber, because as a certainty there will always going to be more sh_t. In fact continuing my metaphor, a good comparison for what our government, it has become an overflowing cesspool.
Andrew Breitbart (RIP) would be very proud of you, for what its worth.
May the Lord watch and keep you and your family on this journey. Keep in mind that like it or not this is a journey we are all on, this for our children and grandchildren and the generations to come. Please Lord hold your bright light over Sundance (and crew) as he acts as one of your scribes documenting this evil veil that has cloaked our Great Land from Your holy presence. Please Lord intercede on our behalf and help us cast these demons back into darkness, in Jesus name.
Amen!
Note: The podcast would be awesome. : )
In total agreement with all you wrote and stated so accurately. May the Lord bless Sundance and family always and guide and watch over us all.
👍👍👍👍
(one upvote was just not enough..)
Amen!
As Maverick stated, “I’m where I belong”. I humbly suggest that you are also where you belong. In the same manner as Rush, you inspire and educate the masses. People can not “wake up” until they are educated. Once they are, they will never sleep again and they will spread the truth as well. It is already happening. These are dark times indeed but many see the light because of some strange little place known as CTH led by some dude aptly named “Sundance” as sunlight is the only way to know the truth. It gets heavy and depressing. Take some time, rest up, the real fight will soon be upon us. God is with us and none can stand against us.
The purity of this site is off the scale. The leadership, the wisdom, the participants, the commitment, the patriotism, the faith and the format.
Truth is for the select few. Praying for our guidance. We carry a heavy burden.
“The purity of this site” – – I literally choked up reading that. Been here since the Zimmerman days. Thank you for your eloquent comment.
_/. That’s supposed to be a flexing right arm 🙂
Here ya go:
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Praying for your matured wisdom and adroit discernment Sundance!
After 12 years, we are in exponentially worse shape. We may know more, they may be exposed more, but the reality is that doesn’t mean a thing. One could argue, based on where we find ourselves, it has all emboldened them. We have done nothing coordinated or actionable since the Tea Party. You can’t win a war without identifying the enemy and then neutralizing the enemy.
Sundance and the administrators have worked tirelessly over these 12 years. Personally, knowing more has become a roadblock to inner peace. It’s like having cancer and getting a daily report on where it has spread but there is no treatment.
What’s the point? By now, we should know the prognosis without treatment death. Maybe time to take Sundances’s advice and “live your best life”. Stay with God
May God Speed SD, we are here for you and praying as well.
I agree with you and few have time to listen to podcasts.
However, a solution would be to post a transcript along with the podcast.
Also, a print function would be helpful.
I often print out transcripts/articles and email them to my contact
list. Not everyone has the interest that I might have in our political schemes
so I like to make the information available to them. Since the media is
complicit, we need to get the information out to as many people as possible.
It astonishes me how many people have no clue as to what is going on.
As an avid (and fast) reader, I don’t understand this.
I’ll share my own situation, but can assure you that there are many in my shoes. I can’t read at work. Or during the hour drive. Or while trying to make dinner, or do laundry, or tend the plants, or any other myriad chores and tasks for which I’m responsible.
But I can listen. Back in the day when I did talk radio, I did lots of reading to prepare. I was able to share my knowledge and research with many who otherwise would not receive it. Busy, hard-working people who crave information but simply do not have the time to sit and read.
Personally, I’d love the opportunity to listen and learn while “living my best life.” I’d love to rest my eyes, and get off my butt while getting a PhD in Swampology.
If Sundance can make it understandable and interesting in podcast form, then he will reach many more people.
“Back in the day when I did talk radio, ….”
Do tell….? 😃
It is a tough task, breaking out of our ‘silos’ and in to other’s to spread knowledge and awareness about those issues.
Unfortunately, people ‘silo’ themselves. But they call this building bubbles. And the few means of reaching across multitudes of bubbles is in the hands or control of the propagandists. Even so, they lament that they can’t reach us all.
I think that a podcast would be great. For us in this bubble of wisdom. It may even lead to spreading across a few like minded bubbles. Be prepared for requests to appear and have guests on from other podcasts. That is how the audiences are grown.
But still, it only expands the bubble. (And censorship contracts it.)
I don’t see how this solves the bigger problems we are facing. Neither getting everybody to know, nor getting enough people to know, nor even getting the right people to know. But you have already been fighting to get the right people to listen.
What it can do, is allow people to keep up without having to commit hours of time to read every post and all the comments. Only requiring 2 half hours a week.
Have to admit-have been praying that when DJT becomes 19th President of the Republic this entire “duseased temple”of Congress will come down
We love you Sundance!
Dear Sundance…We pray for you…May He give you the wisdom you need to persevere.. I find Nehemiah 4 apropos at this time..: “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the LORD, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses. And it happened, whom our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work” (Neh4:14-15) May we continue to pray and raise the bulwarks of our nation and may the plot of the enemy come to nothing, in Jesus Great Name!
Amen!
All these agencies have one thing in common as I see it.
They are the STAFF of the President.
The president can be stymied by the Senate in appointing staff.
However, the Senate has no control over who he can dismiss or sack.
I believe this power is what will bring things to a head.
If Donald Trump is elected he has the awesome POWER to start dismissing starting from the top.
He can close down those departments eg education, that are duplicated by the States.
The Senate cannot stop him from doing that.
He can decide that departments can move out of DC to far away.
Trump when elected, should not nominate anyone for the cabinet. Those departments die on the vine because of no head leader, who submits the budget for that Department. Trump needs to fire all the “acting” department heads so no budget submitted and no one approve spending for projects, that funds have already been allocated. As Sundance points out, money & power. Dry up the money in the silos, then power greatly reduced.
For you that think–“We need a cabinet!!!” Trump will negotiate with the Senate that all his nominations will be approved, unanimously by the Senate and there will be Senate recesses for recess appointments. If they renege, then withdraw the nominations. Think no cabinet nominee, no deputy cabinet nominees, no department head nominees, plus firing the bureaucracy, will make Congress more malleable to the Executive.
Also, to help the nation, a national strike, like Poland did to divest themselves of their commie masters. We can do the same.
Nice out of the box thinking!
I was a Federal employee for 10 years in the Office of Personnel Management. As a peon I learned how things worked, so I became a Registered Nurse.
I think you are right, Sundance. You’ve done a tremendous job in keeping us educated and informed with facts and analysis not found anywhere else. The others pale in comparison. However, the written word has its limitations and I believe a “conversation with Sundance” would take your task to the next level. I suggest the best model to follow is that of Rush Limbaugh. No guests, just telling a story. I think it would broaden your audience and create a better understanding of what we are up against and what needs to be done.
I have found over these many years that when a difficult problem presents itself the best approach is to attack it with a vengeance. Desperate times must be met with desperate measures. May God bless you and lead you in your mission.
You are a treasure. Thank you.
First step is to irradicate the deep state which Trump will do if he isn’t eliminated first.
Second elections have to be straightened out and be legitimate.
Third people have to then remove establishment congressman.
Fourth we need term limits enacted by a contsitutional convention.
Bob Thomas , what you describing here is an Article V amendment convention which bypasses Congress’ power. Do not use the term constitutional convention because that gives opponents the ideas we want to ditch and rewrite the Constitution. COS Action proposes amendments in three categories – term limits, fiscal restraint and size and scope of the federal govt. https://conventionofstates.com
Agree whole heartedly and it has to have TOTAL transparency to help keep it from going off the rails. Maybe even armed guards.
An Article V Convention is not outside of the Constitution.
However, this is not the right time for it. The enemy is too strong (recent elections are evidence of this fact) and we, the purveyors of truth and the liberties our Creator endowed us with) are not as united and organized as our enemies.
Our voices and our efforts have to grow but more importantly we have to unite locally to effect changes there before we attempt to amend the Constitution. IMO of course.
Personal Observation
Trump tried eradicating the Deep State without any help or support.
Trump tried cleaning up the election process and almost every single state, including Texas, blocked him at every turn.
Back in the 1970s some Liberty Loving Patriots started a campaign to; “Vote The Incumbents Out” (which I have been practicing in the Primaries ever since then), but voters insist on returning the incumbents to power.
If The Powers That Be are capable of openly stealing an election, what would prevent them from stealing a Constitutional Convention (or as Dennis Denton called it; an Article V Amendment Convention)?
I have no ideas or suggestions for what to do to clean this mess up. I do know that ever since 2009 when ObamaCare was passed, the American people have shown themselves to be All Talk, but absolute spineless despicable cowards when it comes to actually doing something about it. And they have done exactly the same thing with every issue we have faced since then, including the Plandemic.
My apologies if I offended you! That certainly is not my intention. I simply have lost faith in the American people.
I still believe that there are many Americans that understand that our founding and growth has been a unique human event, and that we have an obligation to protect and spread the principals of personal responsibility and freedom.
To your point, however, I also believe that for decades we have looked to false political leaders, promoters of “science, religious leaders, educational and social science “experts” to convince us that they know how to improve the human condition if we just follow them and ignore our own God given instincts and understandings.
We’ve bought into fake processed food, poorly tested and/or unnecessary drugs to improve our health, schools as arbiters of social norms rather than reading writing math science.
Big business tells what it means to be happy. Government knows what best for you so stop thinking.
Those of us who lurk here want to save American ideals, but we cannot break through decades of brainwashing. Life is still too good. To me, the most striking evidence of this has been the recent marches supporting Hamas. Those women, Trans, Gays have no concept or understanding of the nature of Hamas. Hamas would gleefully rape, stone, burn, throw them off buildings. I wish no one harm, but until people lose their freedom they will have no idea what they have lost.
Other people, in other countries, have learned this the hard way, and not because they did anything wrong, but because they failed to act when others started doing things that were wrong. That is happening here. Hopefully enough people emerge from the shadows to restore America.
“..but voters insist on returning the incumbents to power.”
Although we thought and stated that for years, we have to admit (post-2020) we know now how easily the Uniparty has rigged & corrupted elections, so it’s very possible (probable?) that the people DID NOT actually insist on returning the incumbents to power……….but were scammed into believing that’s what occurred every election….
This is my view of it.
It’s also Mike Lindell’s, I believe.
Mine too. It certainly explains what has happened that has puzzled us for so long, and is more consistent with all the other unethical things that they do….
I have highly unpopular opinions on how to start cleaning up the mess.
First, term limits. Twelve years total in Federal office, including the Presidency. If your term will go over 12 years, you can’t run for Federal Office. Example, 1 term in the House, 1 term in the Senate. that only leaves 4 years, so 1 term as President. Any combination as long as the limit is 12 years. Oh, pearl clutching horrors, no politicians with experience or gravitas, that’s the point. A citizen run government, not by professioanl policitians.
Two, you can’t run for Federal office after your 65th birthday, which is the Medicare eligibility age and close to full Social Security age. This eliminates politicians past their expiration date.
Three, change voting age limits. Age 25-65, only. Most young people aren’t aware enough of what’s going on. People over 65 shouldn’t be voting as their decisions can be detrimental to the majority of people. Most older people can be selfish voters such as Medicare and Social Security issues. Why should they care about future fiscal problems? I would give up my vote for being over 65. Aren’t most of the so called global elite over 65?
I know commentors will rebuke me for these ideas, but has the current political situation workin’ for y’all?
God bless you and thank you! You have always been there for me and you have made me a better person. You have given me much strength to continue on the path I am on and I know that whatever comes next for you is the right decision for you. You deserve to step back and take a breath and go wherever your spirit leads you. Thank you again!
I won’t oppose because I totally agree. I could easily go to podcasts, but I come here to ‘read’. It’s like I’m hungry for the written word. It makes me think, makes the consider every meaning. Not so with speakers.
God Bless you Sundance and thank you for everything your doing.
Sundance and associated contributors,
Where would our understanding be without the insight provided here? I settled on a branch here in 2016, in the spring, if memory serves. The Russia Gate alternative puppet show was my education in the all encompassing depravity of the elites and the spread of their tentacles. I learned that our government is at most levels involved in a giant deception against the taxpayers.
Once one sees, one can never perceive things in a non skeptical manner ever again.
We will await your thinking Sundance, may you ponder well as prayer leads you to truth. May God bless all of us here on our many branches.
This comment has made me realize that one of which is the biggest problems.
Not very good grammar here but still early for me.
Everyone says that they ruined President Trumps presidency, but they destroyed
our duly elected president. We chose him and they went against the will of the people.
President Trump was their excuse. The message gets twisted…..a lot. It’s almost as if
the focus needs to be on a “translation” I remember a time when the hip thing to say when people were trying to gaslight others, someone would jokingly say “translation blah blah blah.
IE: they are saying this but this is really what it is.
Example, Biden is destroying our country. “Translation” the whole left and most of the right is destroying our country.
Honestly I don’t think I’m explaining myself well.
What I found odd about the post Rush Limbaugh environment is that our side has become a series of self-contained islands.
Over the last 2 years though, there appears to be a cross-pollination of our sources beginning. Case in point, I see Rich Baris appear on Steve Turley’s channel, and Baris appearing on Steve Bannon’s podcasts. I’ve seen your stuff on Zero Hedge, but I don’t see your analysis anywhere else. I’m beginning to think that this is intentional.
I also don’t see anyone of our sources going on Jordan Peterson’s podcast either. He is huge and would go a long way to counter the Daily Wire cocoon/controlled conservative opposition efforts.
Doing a podcast is an excellent idea and might be a good starting point.
However, it needs to be followed up with an outreach to these other podcasters in order to reconconcile the information that they are putting out. Especially to Bannon.
But the collaboration, in order to avoid the chronic tendency to splinter on topics where some hold differing views, is to be strict in identifying and committing to central issues that are key to disemboweling the belly of the beast.
Bannon’s podcast is TOO LONG and too slow moving. As is Alex Jones.
If you mean The War Room, Bannon’s people break it up into single topic-oriented clips (anywhere from 5 minutes up to 20 minutes) and post them all on Rumble (and elsewhere I assume).
Rush was uniquely successful because he had amazing talent as a broadcaster, entertainer, and educator. He was compelling on the radio, and that enabled him to build an audience and a network (‘EIB’) of hundreds of stations.
I remember, back in the ’90s, I would have Rush on, and an employee asked, “Do you like him because he is entertaining, or because you agree with him?” “Both,” I said.
Rush’s influence was a direct result of his compelling message, and his compelling skills as a broadcaster. He was also the best ad-lib political analyst I ever heard. Ad-lib: he didn’t need a script.
He was also on the radio for three hours every day, at the same time. That’s called ‘apppointment listening’, and that was another essential element in his success and influence. In almost every area of the country, I could find a station with Rush on it at the right time. Most ‘podcasters’ have no such reach. Most occupy small niches that find tiny audiences.
I haven’t heard a Sundance broadcast, or podcast, so I’ve no idea whether he’d be any good at it. Lord knows we could use another Rush, but they are mighty hard to find. Maybe start with a 15-minute, syndicated radio broadcast, focusing on telling the Treehouse story simply and clearly—and humorously—think Paul Harvey.
ViVek Ramaswamy has pointed alot out. He knows alot of what and whose in DC. Just sayin, We need more of him, to come out against the War machine.
career politicians have years of being known to all the weaponized intelligence and globalists. They will wobble when the sledgehammer of these come down upon them.
Advisors have to be primarily outside of the past reach of the intelligence, outside of beltway. I can only think of a handful of politicians who clearly view DC as a place to go in, do the work and get home as soon as possible.
maybe his voice, but he cant be put in control of anything
I like the idea of podcasts. Leading busy lives I find that sometimes I don’t retain all that I have read. Many of your, Sundance, articles are dense with detailed information, I sometimes find myself thinking of printing them out and creating a reference book. For me the podcasts would be reinforcement. Plus, I think back several years, I could not find trustworthy sources of information. I had not yet come across CTH. I listened to a lot of podcasts. They could be fit into my schedule which made it the perfect format. I suspect there are many whom that would suit just fine still. It took me a long time to find CTH, and a while for my mind to be able to recognize that here lies the truth.
What I struggle with is the question, “ok, I understand the problem (I think), but now, what do I do about it that makes a difference”. Here in St. John’s county florida we have 5 county commissioners, 4 of whom answer only to the local big money interests. Despite the residents attending meetings and voicing concerns over new commercial development there is no ordnance or zoning rule that those 4 commissioners won’t happily over ride to give the business owners whatever they ask for. Our election system is a joke, with mail in ballots galore, unattended drop boxes, an unauditable election trail, and unknown wifi networks (called who let the dog out) at multiple voting locations. But the supervisor of elections is a Republican who defiantly claims that our elections are the safest, most secure elections in the country. But you’re not allowed to question her. It seems the level of greed and corruption is extreme at even the most local, granular level. And don’t count on any support from the local sheriff. I’m coming to believe that Legalman (listen to The Quash podcast) is right and that jury nullification may be the only answer at least delaying what the globalists have in mind for us serfs.
Keep sawing wood, it will be time well spent…..
Sundance, I am conflicted on your proposed way forward. Nays in my head think about you over extending yourself – a person can do only so much without blowing up their personal lives. Yeas – I know so many people who will listen to podcast over reading a long written narrative.
I do both – read and listen to podcasts however I have more success in getting to most people who are much younger than myself by simply sharing a podcast link vs a link to a written post. Many don’t want to go to a link to read a post so I’ll copy and past the whole thing and if needed reformat for email reading.
Podcasts are the younger generations preference it seems to me.
There’s another possibility with the podcast venue – it is useable for the online political community (think Bannons Warroom, Tucker, Bongino, Charlie Kirk and so many more). As more people disconnect from the cable/satellite news podcats whether live streaming or not become ever so much more popular.
Bless you and your family.
You make valid points about younger audiences and listening vs reading … that’s the very reason my PCA church now podcasts the mp3 audio of our sermons.
And I have learned that Rumble uniquely keeps all content up and available.
Every movement needs a leader, there is no one better placed nor better informed.
That would be you. In my humble opinion
a much wider audience is needed to disseminate “sunlight” to the masses
audio with video is more captivating than audio alone.
As an example, I follow George Gammon (aka the rebel capitalist) on YouTube he is able to explain complex monetary concepts, in an easily understandable way, mostly using a whiteboard
Just donated–thanks for all you do SD!
I do not need the podcast, as I prefer the detail and nuance of the long form written word. I can see how it’d be a great tool to reach a wider, less engaged, audience.
Just my $.02, I think you are wrong about 45. I think he has a long history of being a master strategist. I think it is a Con Inc. narrative that he makes bad appointments and misses the target on key issues. I’ve yet to see him truly lose on anything moderately important. He only appears to for a while, then always comes back in the end for the win.
From my personal research and personal observation of 45, over many decades, he knows much, much more than he is credited for.
But, in some instances, that is the way he wants it, for the long-term outcome.
Just my personal observation.
Make your website subscription service only. I’m willing to pay for the truth.
I pay monthly. But I think the subscription will limit the reach. I know this site has reached many of the vast unwashed as Rush used to endearingly say and the deplorables as HRC derided us.
