The Pinelander

The famous saying goes, "Those who cannot remember the past, or fail to learn from it, are condemned to repeat it." Seventy years ago, former G man and faith-based political theorist, W. Cleon Skousen prognosticated the Marxist overthrow of the USA, and even warned us how it would be accomplished. Today, Paul & Mike sit down around the G Base campfire with legendary NC Scout to discuss Skousen...

God said, "Let Us make Man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it." Today, Paul & Mike are honored to welcome fellow warrior and avid hunter, Brandon Reil into the G Base to discuss the importance of hunting, and the many lessons about life one experien...

The number 8 is a very special number that transcends multiple cultures. And, the number 88 is considered exceptionally positive, bringing opportunity and success. So it's only fitting that on this 8th day of December, we invite fellow warrior poet, Jason Dougherty into the G Base to discuss faith-based stoicism or what is commonly referred to as the "Warrior's philosophy". We're confident Episode...

In 1971, President Nixon cancelled the direct convertibility of dollars into gold due to declining gold reserves. Since then, most countries have adopted fiat monies that are exchangeable between major currencies but don't possess any intrinsic value of their own. Today, Paul & Mike are honored to have our very own "Mr. Green," Nick Giambruno come into the G Base from the Financial Underground...

There's a lot a leader can learn from thinking about a listening and observation post, or what is commonly referred to in the military as an "LP/OP". The key to success is to be very quiet and use your senses to detect the enemy before they detect you, to provide early warning and reaction time for friendly forces. Today, Terry Peters joins Paul & Mike in the G Base to share a little wisdom ab...

The auxiliary answers the call, and undertakes extreme risk infiltrating Mike Smith back into Pineland to share intelligence he's gathered about the enemy. The director of the ground-breaking documentary, Out of Shadows (episode #36) brings us up-to-date with the latest disposition of the dark forces arrayed against us with Into the Light .

John Spencer from the Urban Warfare Project joins Paul in the G-Base to discuss a 21st century version of the Battle of Thermopylae; how 200 Ukrainian Guardsmen, defending the Hostomel Airfield, saved Kiev from falling into the hands of elite Russian paratroopers on the morning of 24 February 2022. Time and again, history informs us how a few determined warriors are able to overcome insurmountable...

Paul transmits the signal asking for assistance in the G Base, and without hesitation, Micah Dunford answers the call to help man the guns. Today, Paul & Micah discuss warrior ethics and building the foundation required of all true warriors. After all, how can we be a good friend and provide sound counsel to others without first knowing the difference between good and evil, right and wrong, vi...

Pineland is no different than a lot of other places around the world. We have a long history of fighting tyranny and evil. Today, Patrick O'Kelley takes us back to the 18th century to discuss some of the tactics & techniques utilized during the American Revolution in the Carolinas, long before the term "unconventional warfare" was coined.

Paul & Mike put their entrenching tools to use to recover another valuable cache originally emplaced in the early days of 2022. The trunk contains three beneficial stories from the real life experiences of fellow warrior, Patrick O'Kelley, author of Triple Canopy. Enjoy.

For those of us who enjoy spending time away from man-made concrete jungles, observing the mathematical perfection of the universe and its natural laws, we quickly realize how small and insignificant we are and how wrong we've been on so many topics. On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin was published in 1859, and it's taken us over a hundred and fifty years to realize just how utterly ridicu...

For those who venture out of Pineland, it quickly becomes obvious something isn't quite right these days. Paul & Mike welcome friend and fellow warrior, Rodney McDaniel back into the G Base to discuss the plague effecting so many young men today and offer some tips on masculinity; the three "P"s of manhood; Procreate, Provide & Protect.  

Paul & Mike recover a cache originally emplaced back in March 2022, just after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some of you plank holders out there might remember our discussion concerning Paul's first novel, The Wild Fields. If you love adventure, action, romance, history, with a sprinkling of religion on top, then this is a story you will definitely enjoy.

After establishing a new G Base, Paul & Mike reflect on Israel's 40 years of travel in the wilderness, and the lessons from the experience that may be of benefit for us today.

Paul & Mike once again call on members of the Auxiliary to assist in infiltrating the author of The Iconic Warrior series, Dr. Gene Klann back into Pineland to provide his expertise and assistance in developing the next generation of warriors.

Are you tired of strangers listening in on your private conversations? Advances in technology have almost entirely eliminated the fundamental Right of privacy. As a result, Paul & Mike decided it was well past time to set out the "load signal" and bring in our guerrilla communications expert, NC Scout. In this episode, we discuss how to reduce or eliminate eavesdropping by the peanut gallery by se...

The saying "an army marches on its stomach" has been attributed to both Napoleon and Frederick the Great. It means warriors cannot function effectively unless we're well fed, and not many of us know what's in our food or even where it comes from. That's a big problem. We also know from scripture, God took man and put him in a garden to work it and keep it. So today, Paul & Mike are honored to have...

The Operational Detachment A-Team (ODA) has just returned to the G Base and are methodically going through their gear, consolidating, reorganizing and replenishing ammunition and other necessary items in preparation for the next mission. While the team is busy working, Tom Kelly joins Paul & Mike in the center to discuss lessons learned while in leadership and what he's done to help assist current...

Far and near recognition signals have been exchanged and Paul & Mike welcome John Phelps back into the G Base to continue where Kevin Mains left off; a discussion on the spiritual health and readiness of America's warrior class. 

Paul & Mike are honored to welcome Kevin Mains into the G Base to discuss the challenges facing the Armed Forces today. The mission of the warrior has not changed, but the leadership challenges have never been greater. If America's warriors are going to be successful meeting our enemies, foreign and domestic, we're going to have to be able to bring our A Game, physically, mentally, and socially.  

It isn't often a fellow warrior from the Pacific Northwest visits Pineland. Today, Paul & Mike are honored to welcome the Founder and CEO of Intrepid Tactics, Brice Colbert into the G Base to discuss current trends on the left coast; a land of spectacular beauty and abundant resources. Brice also shares some of the excellent training being offered in his neck of the woods. The time to get prepared...

In Pineland, we use a currency known as "Don". Like its close cousin, the Federal Reserve Note (FRN), it's a paper fiat currency backed by nothing of value other than a promise to confiscate wealth from the Plebes in order to pay the treasuries (T-notes). With non-stop printing of more and more fiat currency, rising interest rates, fractional banking, and bad loans, is it any wonder banks are drop...

The importance of family can't be overstated, and it's always an honor to be visited by a fellow warrior. Today, Paul & Mike conduct a thorough police call and make sure everything is squared away in order to welcome fellow podcaster, and co-host of the Pineland Underground, Chuck Ritter into the G Base to discuss past, current and future issues. At ease!     

The wise man learns from his mistakes. They are excellent learning opportunities. In fact, learning from failure is often the key to success. By getting things wrong, we improve our skills and grow in various ways. This is especially true for warriors as well. It's always a valuable use of time when an experienced warrior is willing to sit down and share lessons learned. Today in Pineland, Paul &...

Sorry to interrupt the fantasy, but slavery didn't end with the Civil War. Currently, it is estimated that between 15,000 to 50,000 women and children are forced into sexual slavery in the United States every year, with approximately 20 to 40 million enslaved today. 16 million people are trafficked for forced labor in the economy and approximately 5 million people are trafficked for forced sexual...
