    Limited Hangout | Public Occurrences, Ep. 118

    Limited Hangout | Public Occurrences, Ep. 118

    In today's complex and deceptive American landscape, information and knowledge hold immense influence over the choices we make as individuals and as a society. However, not all information that is presented to the public is reliable or comprehensive. One concept that unveils this phenomenon is known as a "limited hangout." This term, coined by former CIA officer Victor Marchetti, describes a strategy utilized by governments, intelligence agencies, or organizations to disseminate selective or manipulated information in order to divert attention away from more damaging revelations.

    A limited hangout can manifest in various ways, with its primary goal being the manipulation of public perception while creating an artificial sense of transparency. The orchestrators of a limited hangout strategically disclose only a portion of sensitive or incriminating information concerning a particular event or issue. This diversionary tactic aims to divert attention from deeper truths and enable control over the narrative. Consequently, this technique effectively obscures reality and facilitates manipulation.

    One classic example of a limited hangout can be seen in government investigations into controversial events such as political scandals or high-profile crimes. In some cases, authorities may selectively release certain documents or evidence while withholding others that could expose deeper levels of corruption or wrongdoings. By providing just enough information for plausible deniability while distorting the overall picture, those involved in limited hangouts can protect their interests and manipulate public opinion.

    Examples of limited hangouts in modern times include the revelation of Jeffrey Epstein's client lists, the hypothesis about a lab leak causing COVID-19, and the infamous Twitter files that exposed interference by the FBI and other government agencies in relation to stories about Hunter Biden's laptop during the 2020 Presidential election.

    Unfortunately, no one involved in these crimes or controversies has faced punishment or been convicted for their actions against minors, which is considered one of the most abhorrent crimes against humanity. Additionally, there has been no accountability for violating the first amendment rights of millions of Americans.

    The intelligence agencies merely provide insufficient information to divert public attention and hope that these stories will eventually fade away. Meanwhile, those responsible for committing heinous crimes go unpunished and unaccountable.

    In today's podcast, Michael O'Fallon explores the reasons behind the utilization of limited hangouts and its implications for a distressed U.S. population amidst the tumultuous year of 2024.

    The Sovereign Nations 2024 Forecast | Public Occurrences, Ep. 117

    The Sovereign Nations 2024 Forecast | Public Occurrences, Ep. 117

    In my Sovereign Nations 2024 Forecast, I reflect on the accuracy of my past predictions and issue warnings about imminent challenges. Over the years, I've highlighted the emergence of Critical Race Theory, divisive tactics, and the manipulation of societal structures by global entities such as the World Economic Forum. Looking ahead to 2024, I predict potential compromises in our digital infrastructure, ongoing law enforcement challenges, and intensified efforts to reshape Christianity. My forecast anticipates a push for Balkanization, economic transformation towards scarcity, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Additionally, I emphasize political developments, potential conflicts with China, and the promotion of a digital meta world. I stress the importance of defending the U.S. Constitution and urge vigilance to proactively address these forecasts.

    Reaction is the Real Action | Dr. James Lindsay

    Reaction is the Real Action | Dr. James Lindsay

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 14

    Leftist activism often seeks direct victories but resorts to an action-reaction strategy when faced with obstacles. This political warfare tactic involves provoking a response, controlling how it's portrayed to the audience, and using it to further their agenda. Saul Alinsky's principle, "your enemy’s reaction is your real action," underpins this approach, involving a two-step process of provocation and advancement. In the United States, where conservative Christianity poses a significant challenge to Marxist influence, a movement known as "Christian Nationalism" is deliberately stirred to nullify Christian resistance against the spread of Woke ideology. Dr. James Lindsay's lecture delves into the action-reaction dynamic as a political tool and exposes the deliberate setup of Christian Nationalism as a response to Woke provocations, serving as a critical warning to the American church.

    Panel: Entryism | Woodard, O'Fallon, Connell, Lindsay, Benzinger, and Roach

    Panel: Entryism | Woodard, O'Fallon, Connell, Lindsay, Benzinger, and Roach

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 13

    At the "With Liberty and Justice for All" conference in Clearwater, FL, a thought-provoking panel took place. I was joined by John Connell, Bill Roach, James Lindsay, Jon Benzinger, and Andy Woodard as we delved into an intriguing discussion. Their focus was on understanding the mechanisms behind the rise of reflexive movements within the church, such as the Neo-Marxist Woke Church movement on the fringe left (Marcusians) and the reactionary Christian Nationalism movement on the cringe right (Schmittians). These movements, they argued, possess the ability to gain momentum and insidiously seize control of the church, acting as parasitic forces that disrupt and dismantle previously united groups. In both situations, entryism was the primary strategy employed by both external and internal agitating forces.

    The Fracturing of Evangelical Christianity | Dr. Jon Benzinger

    The Fracturing of Evangelical Christianity | Dr. Jon Benzinger

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 12

    Today, it seems we can’t agree on anything anymore. Movements like Marxist social justice and Christian Nationalism have inserted conflict into Evangelicalism, separating brothers, decimating institutions, and muddying established doctrine. In this message, Dr. Jon Benzinger laments this fact, calls Christians to unity with other Christians (Rom 12:16, 1 Cor 1:10, Eph 4:3-6), and to stop listening to Christians who are causing division (Rom 16:17, 2 Cor 11:4, Titus 3:10). The Evangelical church has been a united bulwark against cultural revolutions for decades. Those who see us as their enemies infiltrate our institutions and introduce mini-revolutions into the church because they actually listened to Jesus when He said that a house divided against itself cannot stand (Matt 12:25). If we can’t stop the in-fighting and unite against the real enemy—satanic tyranny on both the right and the left—it could be too late for our Republic.

    Whatever Happened to Freedom? | Dr. John Connell

    Whatever Happened to Freedom? | Dr. John Connell

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 11

    In the founding of this nation, deists and Christians came together on one issue in particular: Religious faith is not an issue that the state has any business dictating. I believe that with all my heart. Let me tell you something else I believe – no man or prince or church or any form of centralized power has any business telling anyone what they can and can’t believe. Whether deists or Christians, the founders of this nation had the wisdom to put it in writing that the government had to steer clear of telling Christians and/or the church what they can or cannot do or what they can or cannot believe.

    Unbelievably, there are now those who actually want to establish the United States as a Christian nation with power concentrated in one person. Are you kidding me? Never mind the logistical nightmare with a monster of that size; consider the history of such attempts. I am compelled to ask the Christian nationalists this question: Are you trying to run my life? If so, then back-off and stand down.

Prophetic and cutting truths to the underlying ideas of our day

Michael brings unrelenting clarity to some of the most dangerous yet intentionally obscured realities and ideas underlying the insanity of our present day. A breath of fresh air if you’re trying to understand what is going on in the world around us, particularly in the past few years.

Truth on the WEF

I wondered why no one seemed able to comprehensively detail the goals of the WEF. Then I discovered Michael O’Fallon. Brilliant, must-listen provider of information and wisdom.
