Dominic Frisby discusses his latest book The Secret History of Gold: Myth, Money, Politics & Power.

Gold (noun): A precious, yellow metal, prized for its beauty. Inert, immune to corrosion, highly malleable though with little utility. Seen as pure wealth.

The Secret History of Gold tells the epic tale of the world’s oldest, and most treasured, currency. From its origins in the formation of the solar system to its pivotal role in both ancient myth and modern finance, Dominic Frisby explores how gold has defined the entire course of human civilisation.

Gold has inspired men to do the most brilliant – and terrible – things. The most stolen metal in history, it has lured explorers, conquerors and thieves. It has sparked wars, it has built empires, it has empowered leaders – from Alexander the Great to Adolf Hitler – good and bad. As nations today such as China and Russia mine and hoard gold at record rates, Frisby examines its enduring significance in the digital age and its potential to influence global peace and power.

Understand the history of gold, and you start to see what politicians and central banks would rather you didn’t. This is the untold story of gold: its past, its present and its future.

James Tunney discusses his latest book Trotsky Vs Jesus – Battle of the AI Millennium

“Our war is a spiritual war.” – Tyler Durden in Fight Club

What do mass immigration, societal lockdowns, the trans agenda, spiralling fuel prices and restricted access to megalithic sites have in common? In a calculated war against the human mind, body and spirit, the very specific battle of the century is about to become battle of the millennium. It is not the final battle but the penultimate one. The final battle will involve the total eclipse of humanity and destruction of our divine potential, engulfed by a global electronic nervous system. Technocratic elites aim to replace family, religion and nation state with bio-controlled post-humans, promoting space travel, life extension and intelligence increase. If humanity gives in to global AI governance, it will be the last thing we ever do.

Paul Sutton and Greg Moffitt in conversation.

Popular culture – TV, films, literature – both reflects society and influences it. In an increasingly repressive and ‘woke’ artistic world, is fantasy now the style best suited to commentary on the so-called ‘real world’ where political correctness dominates discourse at the expense of freedom of speech? Where we once had cutting satire to ridicule politics, religion, academia, the arts and so on, we now have more subtle and supposedly safer forms of subversion which seem to reflect a general retreat into unreality in our day to day lives. Identity politics, online safety acts and hate speech laws have muted millions for fear of castigation or even criminalization, and creativity is suffering as a result.

At every level of society, from personal to global, we face mounting crises in The 3 Es – Energy, Economy, Environment. These have been well documented on this podcast right back to its beginning in 2012. But they're nothing new. The first major signs of pinch points involving all three arguably first appeared during the oil crisis of the 1970s. Since then, national, international and global institutions based on and attempting to exert control over these systems have been dominated by the idea that there is a technological solution to every problem. However, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, problems with energy supply and the monetary system are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

What this may mean for our day to day lives is finally beginning to manifest in mass consciousness, even as technocratic government and corporate elites scramble to suppress the gathering signs of systemic stress and ultimately, collapse. The current war in Iran should give us pause as we watch an advanced society struggling to cope without water, without food, without power, without communications. Is it time to consider how such crushing constraints might impact you in the not too distant future?

Western science has had remarkable success in explaining the functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind, it has very little to say. And when it comes to consciousness itself, science falls curiously silent. There is nothing in physics, chemistry, biology, or any other science that can account for our having an interior world. In a strange way, scientists would be much happier if minds did not exist. Yet without minds there would be no science. This ever-present paradox may be pushing Western science into what Thomas Kuhn called a paradigm shift – a fundamental change in worldview.

Peter is one of the leading thinkers on consciousness and contemporary spirituality and author of a number of books including From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness, Waking Up in Time: Finding Inner Peace in Times of Accelerating Change and The Global Brain: The Awakening Earth in a New Century. He believes that the critical challenge today is to free human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind so many of our problems – personal, social, and global. His mission is to distil the essential wisdom on human consciousness found in the world’s various spiritual traditions, and to disseminate their teachings on self-liberation in contemporary and compelling ways.

Peter is a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, of The World Business Academy and of The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest.

Thomas Lombardo and Greg Moffitt in conversation.

In a universe portrayed in the modern age as being utterly devoid of meaning and purpose, emotion is often regarded as little more than human weakness. There is a widely held view that emotion should certainly play no part in major decisions and actions, be they politics, business, science, or war. But what if emotion were actually one of the fundamental features of consciousness itself, guiding its evolution?

Against a background of the overall origin and nature of consciousness, we ask: What if it is in fact impossible for emotion – and its partner motivation – to be separated from thinking and reason? What if they are essentially two sides of the same coin? Science is driving the development of the technologies which will most affect our future: renewable energy, food production, employment, medicine, finance, surveillance, and international security. And yet it is a falsehood that science – or anything else in the realm of human affairs – can somehow operate independently from human emotion and motivation. If this is understood and integrated, we have a better chance of a future less motivated by greed, power, hatred and revenge.

As we lurch on into the early part of the 21st Century, converging crises in energy, economy, and environment are rapidly undermining the foundations of industrial civilization and the materialistic way of life which so many of us take for granted. Energy – because cheap, easily accessible fossil fuels are running out and industrial civilization as we know it simply cannot be sustained by renewables. Economy – because at almost every level, global, national, corporate, and personal, we are drowning in debt that cannot and therefore will not be repaid but whose unravelling will cause mass destruction of governments, banks, entire industries, and millions of lives. Environment – because centuries of industrial civilization have wreaked havoc on the biosphere, triggering catastrophic climate change while poisoning the ecosystems on which life on Earth depends.

Factor in population growth, mass migration, and escalating terrorist threats, and you have a dangerously unstable situation. Despite the protestations of puppet politicians, elite economists, and utopian scientists, no amount of wishful thinking, money printing or shiny new technology will ride to the rescue. The Prius of our dreams is heading straight for the brick wall of reality, and the current convulsions such as the Brexit referendum in the UK, the impending implosion of the European Union, and the election of Donald Trump as US President are but the latest wave of woes crashing on the shore of a fantasy future we fashioned for ourselves in a brief moment of gas guzzling madness. Under the illusion of invincibility we still tell ourselves that ‘this time it’s different’ but as we shall soon discover, forces far beyond our control have other ideas. In his most uncompromising work to date, John Michael Greer maps possible futures for America during the hard times ahead and it’s clear that before things get better, they’re going to get a lot worse.

Jim Hoggan discusses his book I’m Right and You’re an Idiot – The Toxic State of Public Discourse and How to Clean it Up.

Today, we are ‘sick of politics’, weary of personal attacks taking the place of real debate, and numb to the lies of those in power because ‘everyone’s doing it’. From politics to so-called entertainment, everything seems to be about conflict and confrontation. We appear addicted to negativity. It is said that we are living in a ‘post-truth’ era where facts don’t matter and the line between real and fake news is steadily dissolving. Infantilization and political correctness stifle critical thought and even our fundamental ability to reason. The very meaning of words has become fluid and language limited in an Orwellian pincer movement. Cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias keep us trapped in bubbles of wishful thinking, unable to face or even acknowledge the converging crises facing the world in the early part of the 21st Century. We suffer from information overload and yet millions are poorly informed. Worse still, this dumbing down looks deliberate. But if indeed it is being orchestrated, who – or what – is doing it, and why?
