Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dig into the patterns of propaganda that shape wars, pandemics, and politics. They mark the anniversary of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, exposing how emotional tactics, like the infamous “dead baby” stories, mirror the same playbook used after 9/11 and even during COVID. The hosts connect these tactics to today’s battles, from vaccine coercion and mask mandates to manipulated protests and election chaos. With sharp personal stories, they reflect on resisting compliance, the dangers of rewriting history, and how humility in admitting past mistakes is key to breaking free of psyops.
They also tackle Denver’s wage hikes driving restaurants out of business, tying it to broader lessons about coercion, central planning, and the erosion of free markets. It’s a raw, insightful episode that challenges listeners to recognize propaganda, own their choices, and refuse to be hoodwinked again.
