LF355 Christian Morris – The Totalitarian Trance

Christian Morris discusses the current climate of censorship and conformity, and the rise of totalitarianism in the West.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
Use of the word ‘totalitarian’ to describe any of the political, social, and economic developments in so-called ‘free’ nations during the coronavirus crisis is likely to be met with stiff resistance or outright denial from the mainstream media and the masses alike. However, considering the fact that totalitarian regimes typically demonstrate political repression, personality cultism, large-scale censorship and mass surveillance, limited freedom of movement, attempts to control the economy and education – and even the arts and science – suddenly the ‘T’ word doesn’t seem quite so extreme when plotting possible futures for our own societies.
Now that the COVID narrative has transitioned seamlessly into that of the television war du jour in The Ukraine, the question remains of just what it will take to snap the citizenry out of their trance, or whether they have already surrendered their senses to the media matrix possessing their minds and increasingly penetrating their bodies.

LF353 David Fideler – Creating a Life Worth Living

David Fideler discusses modern life and ancient wisdom.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
The difficulties in our lives are defined by our reaction to them, and there are many more problems in our minds than in reality. But the modern materialistic world view dictates that life, the world, and the entire cosmos are devoid of meaning or purpose, and so we seek them in possessions, status, and the pursuit of pleasure. As a result, many people live in a state of permanent anxiety, constantly comparing themselves to others while dreaming of some golden future which is forever just over the horizon. However, the best possible life isn’t just about contentment. With challenge comes opportunity, whilst doggedly avoiding challenges simply leads to stasis and stagnation. The question is how we meet our challenges, and whether we use them for growth and progress, or simply cast around for someone or something to blame. In the end, freedom is a state of mind, and looking at the world through a different lens is both liberating and life-affirming, everything that our moribund consumer culture is not.
David’s latest book is Breakfast with Seneca: A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living

LF352 Emma Farrell – COVID-19: War on Humanity

Emma Farrell discusses the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
Since early 2020, the human race has been under attack. Whatever the true origin or nature of COVID-19, the highly controlled and co-ordinated response has unleashed untold suffering across the planet. Government and media fearmongering has caused immense psychological harm, compounded by disempowering messages of individual helplessness in the face of a supposedly deadly existential threat.
Taken purely on its own terms, the situation just doesn’t make sense. From the outset, the pandemic scenario has been riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions, leading many to speculate darkly about what might really be going on. Few, however, have been willing to venture beyond the narrow confines of our everyday five sense reality in search of an answer. Might it be possible that the ongoing assault on our species has its origins in dimensions of reality still unacknowledged by most?
Emma’s current book is Journeys With Plant Spirits

LF351 Freedom From Fear #8 – Peter Russell

Beginning in August 2020, ‘Freedom From Fear’ is a free-form discussion series taking the title as its starting point.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
As with some previous episodes in this series, Peter Russell and Greg Moffitt begin by discussing the evolutionary origins and purpose of fear. Fear rarely serves any purpose beyond fleeting moments of real danger, and constantly living in fear is incredibly debilitating. We contrast the evolutionary role of fear with the 21st century explosion in anxiety, neuroses, and declining mental health, and explore how human intelligence is both our greatest gift and the source of our most profound problems. We also consider how thoughts about the past and fear of the future stops us living in the present. Apparently unlike other creatures, human beings know that we are going to die, and fear of death – still perhaps the last great taboo – keeps us from being truly alive. And, of course, no contemporary discussion about fear would be complete without examining the pandemic of fear triggered by the current coronavirus crisis.
Peter’s latest book is Letting Go of Nothing: Relax Your Mind and Discover the Wonder of Your True Nature

LF350 Andy Thomas – The New Heretics: Understanding the Conspiracy Theories Polarizing the World

Andy Thomas discusses his book The New Heretics: Understanding the Conspiracy Theories Polarizing the World.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
Through their part in some huge controversies, conspiracy theorists are being branded the number one enemies of our times – the new heretics. They are seen to threaten the very fabric of modern society, spreading doubts and fears that result in Washington Capitol invasions, transmission mast burnings, or the spread of anti-vaccine material. Yet the theorists prefer to call themselves ‘truth seekers’ and see the mainstream establishment as the real disruptor, treating its increasingly harsh censorship as direct validation of their views.
In truth, the new heretics, whose numbers are swelling, are symptoms of a wider polarization splitting apart much of the world in ideological divisions. Many have lost trust in politicians and the media, while nuanced debate is crushed and information overload and manipulation breeds uncertainty, civil unrest, and mental health issues. How does the age old strategy of divide-and-rule play out in such an environment? Along the way we examine the links between 9/11 and the Covid Crisis, the role of technology in making matters even worse, and the potential outcomes if governments and media simply refuse to engage with those they view as dangerous fringe elements

LF349 Hugh Newman & Jim Vieira – The Giants of Stonehenge and Ancient Britain

Hugh Newman and Jim Vieira discuss their book The Giants of Stonehenge and Ancient Britain.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
Did giants really exist in the British Isles? Do the legends of them building Stonehenge hold any reality? Why do the establishment deny they ever existed? Hugh Newman and Jim Vieira, best selling authors of Giants On Record: America’s Hidden History, and stars of History Channel’s Search for the Lost Giants, investigate these claims and take a deep dive into obscure newspaper accounts, antiquarian diaries, archaeological reports, local history records, newly-translated ancient texts, academic papers, new scientific reports and written evidence from hundreds of sources going back over a 4000-year period to uncover the truth. Over 250 accounts of the remains of giant human skeletons ranging from 7ft to 21ft have been found in the archaeological and historical record, often measured and commented on by famous scientists, scholars and writers at the time.
A wealth of folklore from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland talk about sophisticated cultures of giants with supernatural powers and advanced technology who had control over thunder and lightning, as witnessed when their tombs were disturbed by later generations. They were often high kings and queens who were master geomancers, surveyors, architects and astronomers who ruled from their mountain-top fortresses, whilst others were cannibals with violent tendencies who enjoyed throwing gigantic rocks across the landscape. The authors take a close look at these age-old stories and the remarkable skeletal discoveries to reveal for the first time an important lost chapter of British history. Related subjects discussed include the existence of Atlantis and other antediluvian civilizations, whether humans have existed for far longer than is currently accepted, global flood and catastrophe myths and legends, and whether differing atmospheric conditions in the distant past allowed life on Earth to grow to enormous sizes compared with the last few millennia.

LF348 Mark Stavish – The Path of Freemasonry: The Craft as a Spiritual Practice

Mark Stavish discusses his book The Path of Freemasonry – The Craft as a Spiritual Practice.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
In this practical guide, Mark Stavish details the spiritual lessons and rituals of Freemasonry as a step-by-step path of spiritual development and self-improvement for both Masons and non-Masons, men and women alike. He explores the history and meaning of Freemasonry and its symbols – from its origins in the Temple of Solomon to the Medieval craft guilds to the Renaissance – and explains how the Craft promotes personal growth through the symbolic building of self and an inner Temple of Wisdom in much the same way that Masonry’s rituals symbolize the building of Solomon’s Temple in accordance with mystical architectural instructions.
Drawing on esoteric doctrines, including the Qabala, alchemy, sacred geometry, and the secrets of the Gothic cathedral builders, each chapter addresses an area of the Masonic experience, paralleling them with experiences each of us find in our own lives. The author provides simple practices to help internalize and personalize the lessons presented, including dreamwork, journaling, meditation, prayer, and understanding sacred architecture. Providing the tools to make the Craft an initiatory experience of self-improvement, Stavish shows that, ultimately, the Masonic experience is the human quest for self-realization and self-expression, so that we each may find our place in the Temple of Wisdom.

LF347 James Tunney – Technology and Tyranny: Control and Coercion in the Age of Covid

James Tunney discusses some of the ideas raised in his book TechBondAge.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
We like to think of technology as liberating and levelling, allowing open access to information and greater equality of opportunity. However, in the early 21st century it is becoming increasingly clear that the technologies of connection and communication are turning and being turned against us. To the dysfunctions caused by over-reliance on and addiction to consumer technologies are being added the insidious impositions of a matrix of coercive control and surveillance rapidly encircling the Earth. Mainstream media, mindless entertainment, and other weapons of mass distraction are blinding billions to the high-tech dystopia currently being constructed all around them, from which there may soon be no escape. Many of us have already experienced being denied access to the global informational grid, whether by holding the wrong opinions or by simply not possessing the latest gadgets. The possibility of a future where there are no alternatives should give us all pause for thought.

LF346 Sebastian Rushworth M.D. – COVID-19: Why Most of What You Know is Wrong

Swedish medical doctor Sebastian Rushworth is currently one of the most measured and unbiased commentators on Covid-19. His book Covid: Why Most of What You Know is Wrong examines some of the most central questions about the pandemic:
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
How deadly is Covid-19?
What is long Covid?
How accurate are the Covid tests?
Does lockdown prevent Covid deaths?
What are the harms of lockdown?
Do face masks stop Covid?
Are the Covid vaccines safe and effective?
Why did the world react so hysterically to Covid?
Rushworth demonstrates that Covid-19 is nowhere near as bad as it is portrayed by the mainstream media. He shows that the mortality rate is below 0.2%, meaning that for most people the risk of dying if infected is less than 1 in 500, and less than 1 in 3,000 if you’re below 70. The disease preferentially strikes people who are anyway very close to the end of life, so the amount of lifetime lost when someone dies of the disease is usually tiny.
He also shows that 98% of people who get Covid are fully recovered within three months, and that there is no good evidence that Covid results in long term health consequences. Moreover, he points out that the measures taken to fight Covid, such as lockdowns, huge fear campaigns, and school closures, will result in far more years of life lost than will be directly lost to the virus. The data used in the book is publicly available, and frequently published in some of the most prestigious and respected scientific journals in the world.
