Who is jocko? And why should I listen to him? Is he a good influencer? All I pay attention to anymore is the Bible, hunting, fishing, and shooting. I gave up all news over a year ago and I feel my life has improved greatly since. Between all the freak shows on the left and conspiracies on the right I decided I have had enough and that the odds of me changing anything in that realm are very slim. I will do some research when the next election rolls around, vote, then get back to God, family, and the great outdoors. P.S. I wonder how this Jocko character makes money?
He's out to make money like anyone else. He also is trying to bring back manufacturing to the U.S. He's a partner of the company Origin Maine. They just bought out FOX racing last year and have several manufacturing facilities in Maine and North Carolina. Everything they make is completely sourced and manufactured here in the US. Boots, clothing, supplements and energy drinks. They started a hunting line that everyone here hates because he's "not a real hunter". I guess all the Chinese slaves that make Sitka are real hunters. He has a great podcast that teaches about leadership, sacrifice, responsibility and patriotism. From what I can tell from listening to a couple hundred hours of his podcasts, I think he's a really good man.

Fox Racing was bought by Vista outdoor.

Some news outlets are better than others. I start my day with Reuters which seems to be pretty objective and fact-based. AP is supposed to be pretty good as well. I haven't seen the sensationalism with Reuters that you find from Fox or MSN/CNN and they generally report what appears should be reported on, rather than them injecting bias based on which stories they lead with or they cover.

Digging around and just found this, which seems to line up with what I have observed.

lol reuters and ap repeated all of the lies associated with covid, repeated the fake Russian hoax disinformation.

Exactly……so many examples of junk science and partisan media about Covid, climate…heck just about everything.

Then the internet algos feed us an echo chamber of material partial to whichever way we are leaning.

Thats why I go to substack for independent unbiased investigative journalism. I even follow formal lefties on there like Glen Greenwald , Mat Taibbi, Cheryl Atkinson, Gerald Posner..

Thanks for your input, bud. Since his statement started off completely wrong it's hard to put any weight on the rest. From what I can tell, sitka employs more people in the U.S. then Origin does.

Lot's of otherwise healthy people dying well above typical mortality rates.
It was just that all vaxxed folks were supposed to die within 2 years to reduce the population on earth. Most of em are still sucking air.

Same for the folks who said the vax would stop the spread - that didn't work either.

I'm pretty right leaning and I could envision a scenario in which I vote for her....BUT her change of heart on the 2A seems suspicious to me. It's going to take some time for me to buy that one.

I liked her as well, seemed like an actual moderate, of course Clinton’s/ MSM harpooned her in the primaries as a “Russian asset”

In case you missed it, there was a comment about Vista outdoor bought FOX Racing. Not really sure what that has to do with brainwashing. In any event I still like NASCAR, and I'm not your bud.

On the topic of brainwashing: I am currently reading this, and highly recommend it!
I don't know this guys politics, but he exposes a lot of what anyone with common sense already knows. He does not deny coivd is real, as I don't. Covers a lot about the "fear", ie, brainwashing that lead people to "follow the science".

Don't know don't care, but it really believes which narrative you choses to follow. Choses to be brainwashed

One thing I do believe is that big pharma is not looking to make us healthy.

Some interesting statistics

A pretty powerful podcast/ Youtube video with Jocko Willink and Tusi Gabbard Titled, Everyone is Being Brainwashed

They discuss how powerful the internet is in shaping our opinions and the ‘why’ these algorithms are so dangerous.

Besides the examples they give it can be applied to everything. We need to retain our critical thinking skills…AND protect our kids from these algorithms that can literally wreck young minds.
Jocko has had some great podcasts recently and this one is a good example of that, good stuff.

Fox Apparel not Fox Racing. I thought they were the same company. My mistake. Here's a recent video from Origin about one of their employees. Looks terrible.

I do as well. I think substack is one of the true last bastions of good reporting we have left. I also listen to breaking point quite often as well.
