    Propaganda, AI, and the Languaging Scam That Trains Your Body to Decline

    In this solo episode, Dani breaks down how divide-and-conquer operations actually work—from NGO funding pipelines and philanthropic power to narrative change, activist training, and AI-driven propaganda. She also explores why outrage cycles around immigration, social justice, and politics are engineered to fracture human solidarity, how language itself programs physiological limitation and degeneration, and why integrity, frequency, and self-advocacy matter more than ever in a manipulated reality. If you want to understand how narratives are built, who benefits, and how to opt out—this episode is essential listening. Watch on Odysee.

    Sloppy Psyops + Metaphysical Delinquency with James Mathers

    What do street art, symbolism, secret societies, futurism, spirituality, and memetic warfare have in common? Apparently…a lot. In this episode, I sit down with artist, author, philosopher and friend, James Mathers for a free-wheeling conversation that moves from art to power pyramids, cultural decay, occult symbolism, belief systems, non-duality, propaganda, and what it feels like to live inside an exponentially accelerating world that feels like it’s lost the plot.

    Reparations and the Rubberneck Rub

    In this high-fashion sun spin celebration episode, Dani cuts through the emotional theatrics propping up the reparations/cultural appropriation sham to examine what’s actually happening beneath the rhetoric. We look at directionality, money flows, NGOs, philanthropy, and why backward-facing “solutions” only exacerbate the very problems they claim to solve. Clear-eyed, uncomfortable, and super very necessary. Watch on Odysee. Listen on Progressive Radio Network and podcast platforms everywhere.

    You Are the Zone: Garret Kramer Dismantles Mindset Culture, Therapy, and Self-Help Myths

    What if everything we’ve been taught about mindset, performance, healing, and “working on ourselves” is thoroughly ass-backwards? In this expansive and provocative conversation, former elite athlete, coach, and author Garret Kramer joins me to dismantle our modern obsession with tools, techniques, trauma narratives, and mindset hacks — and to point toward something far more radical: self-discovery. Garret shares the moment he walked out on one of the world’s top sports psychologists, why trying to “control your attitude” is a logical fallacy, and how peak performance actually arises when the doer disappears. We explore why therapy often reinforces suffering, why feelings don’t need fixing, and how recognizing your infinite nature dissolves fear — on the field and in life. This episode is not about improving yourself. It’s about remembering who you are. If you’re tired of being told what to think, how to feel, or what tool you need next — this conversation will land.

  5. Propaganda 2.0: ChatGPT’s Ideological Agenda Exposed.

    Propaganda 2.0: ChatGPT’s Ideological Agenda Exposed.

    In this fiery solo episode, Dani rips the mask off ChatGPT and exposes how “neutral” AI quietly smuggles ideology, division, revisionist history, identity politics, and activist talking points into its super very editorialized responses to otherwise simple factual questions. Using a real-time AI exchange, she breaks down how propaganda now operates one-on-one, why unsolicited “context” is narrative control, and how language policing, emotional management, and academic activism are reshaping how we think, speak, and perceive reality. From mass attention engineering in sports stadiums to everyday dinner-table censorship, this episode is a sharp, bold call to reclaim discernment, expand our comfort zones, and stop outsourcing our thinking to machines—or to the people trained/indoctrinated by them.

    Plot Holes, Butt Buddies + Biodigital Convergence with Chris Crutchfield.

    What if the real war isn’t political, cultural, or ideological—but biological, digital, and invisible? In this expansive and mind-bending conversation, Chris Crutchfield joins Word Up to expose the hidden architecture shaping modern reality—from global technology standards and biodigital convergence to the quiet integration of the human body into cyber-physical systems. Chris unveils his “Biopsy of a Psyop” map, connecting technology, media, food, pharmaceuticals, education, religion, history, and politics into a single coordinated system. We explore how standards—not politicians—drive global outcomes, why the Internet of Bodies changes everything, and how ancient law, redacted history, and spiritual suppression underpin modern control structures. We also dive into resets, lost civilizations, architecture that defies the official timeline, the weaponization of religion, and the question few are willing to ask: Are the entities steering the sham show even human?

    Twin Flames, Trigger Words + Hot Springs Psyops.

    In this solo episode, Dani dismantles some of the most seductive cultural illusions of our time—spiritual, linguistic, and political. From the myth of twin flames and past-life romance to the weaponization of “forbidden” words, Dani explores how discernment—not mysticism, censorship, or virtue signaling—is the missing ingredient in both personal relationships and collective healing. This episode dives deep into: · Why banning words doesn’t erase their power · How language programs reality at the individual and societal level · The propaganda mechanics behind modern moral panics · And why critical thinking is being quietly phased out—on purpose If you care about sovereignty, consciousness, and not being psychologically played, this one’s for you.

  8. The System Isn’t What You Think: How Consent Became Control with Phil Mederi.

    12/17/2025

    The System Isn’t What You Think: How Consent Became Control with Phil Mederi.

    In this deep-dive into the realms of law and self-governance, Phil Mederi breaks down equity jurisprudence—what it is, how it functions inside the modern legal and financial system, and why the distinction between public and private matters more than most people realize. We explore the 1933 monetary shift, the transition from gold-backed money to public credit, and how contracts, consent, and legal status shape modern obligations. Phil explains equity as a remedial system based on fairness, designed to make all parties whole—rather than a loophole, hack, or form of rebellion. This conversation is not about gaming the system, refusing responsibility, or denying obligations. It’s about understanding how remedy, discharge, inquiry, and jurisdiction actually work, and what options exist for those seeking lawful, honorable resolution. Watch on Odysee.
