Topic: War Mode

A review of a previous segment with Jordan Crowder explores the controversial nature of the Monroe Institute and its "mind hacking" techniques. While some view the institute as a pioneer in probability engineering, others, including members of the War Mode podcast, suspect it of being a CIA honeypot for identifying gifted individuals. The discussion touches on the effectiveness of these methods for addressing issues like sleep paralysis and the polarizing feedback from the audience.

A brief update on the podcast schedule mentions a planned break following the death of Gordon White. The host discusses a recent episode of the War Mode podcast featuring Dr. Richard Ablin’s book, "The Great Prostate Hoax," which critiques the PSA test and unnecessary prostate surgeries. This leads to a reflection on the difficulty of discussing medical conspiracies and health choices with friends who rely on conventional treatments like SSRIs or GLP-1s.

Greg Carlwood introduces Bill and Spade, the hosts of the War Mode Podcast, noting their transition from blue-collar work in Philadelphia to podcasting. The introduction critiques the modern debt-based economic system and the shift toward digital surveillance and AI. Carlwood frames the guests as truth warriors providing a necessary perspective in a world dominated by engineered digital dopamine.

Bill and Spade discuss their podcasting journey and the current state of alternative media, including the closure of Info Wars. The conversation shifts to recent news regarding the reported death of David Wilcock and the disappearance of JPL plasma radiation scientists. They reflect on the difficulty of discerning truth amidst a constant shuffling of information and political meta-drama.

Bill and Spade promote their Patreon and discuss the technical challenges of running an independent podcast without a large media team. Greg Carlwood reflects on the "kindred spirits" found in the War Mode hosts, noting their shared background of being lifted out of regular jobs by listener support. They emphasize a commitment to a job-like approach to podcasting rather than seeking fame or ego service.

Carlwood notes a "weird timing sink" where Bill, Spade, and Gordon White are the only three guests to have ever visited his home and met his wife. He addresses the "third hour" of the War Mode conversation, which was recorded for their Patreon, and explains the structure of the THC Plus show. He acknowledges audience frustration over the split content but defends the subscription model that supports the show.

The host addresses confusion regarding a recent collaboration with the "War Mode" podcast and their subsequent Patreon release. Additionally, technical issues with the Riverside recording platform are discussed to clarify that recent audio dropouts were not intentional censorship. High ratings for recent guests, including David Icke and Michael Cremo, are noted as the show continues its current run.

Nick Bryant discusses his recent appearances on popular comedy podcasts such as *The Tim Dillon Show*, *War Mode*, and *Matt & Shane's Secret Podcast*. He notes the irony that comedians have become effective conduits for "raw truth" and dark investigative realities because of their large, engaged audiences. This shift in the media landscape allows serious investigators to reach a wider demographic by blending uncomfortable truths with humor.

The episode concludes with a calendar of upcoming "Higher Side Meetups" in cities including Raleigh, Palm Bay, and Pasadena. The host encourages listeners to visit highersidemeetups.com to RSVP or create their own events. Final praise is given to Nick Bryant's investigative work, and the show closes with the standard theme music detailing the "families of finance."

The group analyzes the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, noting that the timeline was established under the Bush administration despite current political spin from both parties. They criticize the American election cycle for keeping politicians in a constant state of campaigning rather than governing.
