GKP - General Knowledge Podcast

G'day Folks, In this explosive episode of the General Knowledge Podcast, Lee and Ethan reunite to unpack the unfolding global landscape as we enter the second half of the decade. They open with reflections on how quickly the world has changed since 2020—touching on digital ID legislation, national facial recognition systems, and the social media verification laws rolling out in December. The pair discuss how years of predictive groundwork are now being implemented under the guise of “security” and “protection.” The discussion soon turns to the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, a story that continues to dominate headlines. Lee revisits footage and theories first covered in the previous episode, suggesting possible intelligence agency involvement, including Mossad links. Together, the hosts analyze alleged video evidence, body language, and suspicious coincidences surrounding security personnel and the incident’s aftermath, questioning whether Kirk’s lapel microphone could have been weaponized. Ethan adds depth to the conversation by connecting this event to wider geopolitical and spiritual narratives. They explore how the alleged Israeli connection fits within broader agendas—tying in censorship, global surveillance networks, and the “great noticing” happening across both political spectrums. The conversation emphasizes how public awareness of Israel’s role in global power dynamics has reached unprecedented levels, challenging mainstream narratives and propaganda campaigns. The episode also dives into the personal and symbolic side of the Kirk story—particularly the strange circumstances around his wife, Erika Kirk. The hosts examine her background, alleged links to Donald Trump and Miss USA, and the unusual details surrounding her behavior and public appearances after the assassination. They raise questions about ritual symbolism, media manipulation, and whether Kirk’s death fits a broader pattern of “sacrificial” public events. In closing, Lee and Ethan step back to consider the metaphysical layer underpinning these events—ritual numbers like “33,” occult symbolism, and the idea of the world as a simulated construct repeating familiar patterns. They link the Kirk assassination to the long history of ritualistic deception in politics, from 9/11 to COVID-19. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to look beyond headlines and recognize the coded language of power that continues to shape our reality.

G'day Folks, In this episode of the General Knowledge Podcast, Lee and Andy finally reconnect after months apart, kicking things off with some light banter and tech troubles before diving into catch-up mode. Lee shares stories from his recent family trip to Thailand, reflecting on how quickly life passes and the importance of taking time off to enjoy it. The pair chat about travel, family, and balancing work with the simple joys of life, setting a thoughtful and relatable tone before moving into heavier territory. The conversation turns toward personal health, mindset, and self-responsibility. Andy discusses his growing distrust of the mainstream medical system, stressing that people must take control of their own wellbeing. Lee agrees, quoting motivational speaker David Goggins — “no one’s coming to save you” — and connecting this philosophy to physical discipline and mental resilience. Both emphasize the importance of keeping the mind, body, and spirit in alignment, drawing inspiration from Buddhist approaches to peace and self-awareness. From there, the hosts segue into broader discussions about freedom, digital control, and global narratives. They talk about the slow erosion of personal liberties through things like digital IDs and government surveillance. Lee explains that part of the podcast’s mission is to help listeners recognize these creeping changes before it’s too late — encouraging awareness, self-education, and open dialogue rather than blind compliance. The bulk of the episode focuses on the alleged assassination of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a shocking and widely discussed incident. Lee and Andy review online reports, social media footage, and commentary surrounding Kirk’s death, questioning the official story and raising points that mainstream outlets have largely ignored. They examine the strange lack of public records — no coroner’s report, autopsy details, or public funeral — and explore whether the event could have been staged or manipulated using modern digital tools. Wrapping up, the hosts discuss theories suggesting the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, may have been a setup or “patsy”, comparing the case to historical false-flag events and psychological operations. They consider whether the tragedy is part of a broader pattern of engineered division — the “oldest tactic in the book,” as Lee puts it — used to distract people from deeper issues of control and governance. It’s a wide-ranging, provocative episode that blends critical thinking, alternative analysis, and open questioning — hallmarks of what makes the General Knowledge Podcast a must-listen for independent minds.

G'day Folks, In this episode of the General Knowledge Podcast, Lee is joined by Ethan Nash from TOTT News for a deep dive into the state of digital freedom, media, and government control. The conversation opens with a look at the decline of streaming services and the resurgence of piracy, highlighting how rising subscription costs, intrusive ads, and restrictions on password sharing have pushed audiences back toward torrenting. This sets the stage for a broader discussion on ownership, control of media, and the erosion of consumer choice in the digital age. The core of the discussion centers on the looming implementation of digital ID systems and restrictions to internet access in Australia. Ethan outlines how governments worldwide, particularly in the UK and Australia, are pushing toward mandatory identification for basic online activity, including Google searches, social media, and streaming platforms. The hosts warn that this shift represents the death of anonymity online, with VPN use already being targeted for suppression. They connect these developments to global agendas promoted by the World Economic Forum and the growing influence of “China-style” surveillance models. The conversation then broadens into political and social consequences. Lee and Ethan examine how governments often justify surveillance and restrictions under the guise of “protecting children,” while in reality building infrastructure for full-spectrum control. They touch on the proposed laws in Australia, the role of the eSafety Commissioner, and moves toward centralised digital identity through platforms like MyGov. Drawing parallels to past authoritarian overreaches, they argue that citizens are losing both privacy and basic freedoms in ways that would have been unimaginable only a decade ago. Despite the bleak outlook, the hosts also highlight potential for resistance and innovation. From “anti-surveillance tech” like special clothing and peer-to-peer communication systems, to grassroots activism such as the UK’s “Blade Runners” dismantling surveillance cameras, they suggest necessity will fuel inventive ways to fight back. They urge listeners to consider alternative systems, whether through new technologies, financial models, or community-driven solutions, stressing that individuals with resources and courage will be vital in shaping parallel networks of resilience. Finally, the episode closes by tying these issues back to Australia’s political and economic landscape. They discuss weak leadership, controversial marches, immigration pressures, and proposed tax hikes, framing them as symptoms of a nation in decline. Yet, they emphasize that collective action and informed resistance can still make a difference. Whether through petitions, protests, or simply refusing to comply, they argue that Australians must recognise the stakes: protecting privacy, autonomy, and national integrity before these freedoms are permanently eroded. https://tottnews.com/2025/08/12/new-forever-chemicals-sydney-water/ https://senatorbabet.com.au/media-release-senator-babet-urges-australians-to-stand-against-digital-surveillance/ https://www.facebook.com/events/1476921229995080 Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

An Australian Physicist who defied the norm and went on the path of the Electric Universe.  The "Electric Universe" phrase refers to the theory that electricity plays a significant role in the Universe. Immanuel Velikovsky, an influential figure in this theory, proposed that the universe undergoes periodic catastrophes caused by electrical interactions. Velikovsky's ideas are arguably the origin of the various Electric Universe claims, a fertile area generally centred on the notion that electromagnetism is the dominant force in the cosmos, and gravity is not. Velikovsky's work, particularly his book "Worlds in Collision," published in 1950, suggested that the Earth's rate of rotation was altered repeatedly during close encounters with Venus and Mars, and that electromagnetism had much more to do with these effects than did gravitational or other mechanical forces. His theories revolve around the idea that the universe undergoes periodic catastrophes caused by electrical interactions. Ralph Juergens, inspired by Velikovsky's work, proposed an electric model for the Sun in 1972. Wal Thornhill and David Talbott are the main proponents of the idea that the universe is driven by electromagnetic forces. Thornhill, in particular, has been a strong advocate for Velikovsky's ideas, stating that he "nailed some important truths" regarding the planets as the cause of cataclysmic events on Earth. “We live in an electric world. Our cities are visible from space at night, blazing with electric lights. The electricity courses invisibly in the darkness over great distances along thin power lines. We find electricity indispensable. Nature does the same since all matter is electrical. Yet astronomy is stuck in the gas-light era, unable to see that stars are simply electric lights strung along invisible cosmic power lines that are detectable by their magnetic fields and radio noise. It is now a century since the Norwegian genius Kristian Birkeland proved that the phenomenal ‘northern lights’ or aurora borealis is an earthly connection with the electrical Sun. Later, Hannes Alfvén the Swedish Nobel Prize winning physicist, with a background in electrical engineering and experience of the northern lights, drew the solar circuit. It is no coincidence that Scandinavian scientists led the way in showing that we live in an ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®. Why have they been ignored? The answer may be found in the inertia of prior beliefs and the failure of our educational institutions. We humans are better storytellers than scientists. We see the universe through the filter of tales we are told in childhood and our education systems reward those who can best repeat them. Dissent is discouraged so that many of the brightest intellects become bored and drop out. The history of science is sanitized to ignore the great controversies of the past, which were generally ‘won’ by a vote instead of reasoned debate. Today NASA does science by press release and investigative journalism is severely inhibited. And narrow experts who never left school do their glossy media ‘show and tell,’ keeping the public in the dark in this ‘dark age’ of science. It is often said, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.” History shows otherwise that entrenched paradigms resist extraordinary disproof. This website is for the curious, those who are eager to discover some reasonable answers about life, the universe and everything (as far as it is possible today)
