The System is Down with Dan Smotz

YOU get free stuff! YOU get free stuff! YOU get free stuff! Watch as the Dems out-promise each other straight into the dustbin of history, get informed on why maybe it’s time to move away from using Google, and take a nice big dose of “relax, we’re fine”, regarding the “imminent war” with Iran. Get comfy, freakazoid, and gear up for your weakly dose of distopia. Enjoy the show. Stay Weird   The Mo...

The question of the day is.... Who do you trust and why?  Time after time, we're told that vaccines are, not only "harmless", but a necessary good for society, yet time after time we hear anecdotal evidence that seems to strongly point to the contrary.  So, do you blindly trust the medical professionals or do your own research? Meme after meme condescendingly preaches "trust th...

Tune in this week as Scott tumbles through a cornucopia of worldwide/homestead notables, including but not limited to: Spygate action in Italy, Obama’s global “Hey, Watch Out for Deepfakes” Tour, a couple reasons to homeschool your kids, and the bizarre cherry on the cake…”Joe Biden”.

The question of the day is..... What team are you on? What tribe are you in? What cult are you a part of? While that may seem like a strange QOTD to lead today's episode, I think it's quite fitting. I've been noticing tribes EVERYWHERE lately. You find people who agree with your worldview, you click, and eventually you start looking at "outsiders" as the enemy. Personally,...

The pace moves faster and faster, as we see what appears to be a last ditch attempt by the cabal to tie up some loose ends this week. Plus, a few significant “Q proofs”, why you might’ve noticed “Deepfake” in the news more often lately, and a review of some notable deaths across the country. Warm and cozy stuff.

The question of the day is... Do you believe in giants? The theories of the Nephilim are a topic that I have found fascinating for quite some time. In fact, I've been looking for someone to speak on this topic pretty much since the beginning of the show. Well, the time has come to talk about the tall people because I recently found out that our good friend Jed Payne from Church & Other Dr...

This week on Qanon Chronicles, Scott rambles and rants his way through a bunch of stuff, not limited to Q proofs, mockery of the uniparty implosion, and musings on kitchen appliance authoritarianism. It’s a fun scattered ride, so hang on to your gonads and enjoy.

The question of the day is, does passion have an expiring date? Do you just reach a certain age where you are no longer passionate about the things you once were, or is that just a result of being overwhelmed by life and not having or convincing yourself that you don't have the time to keep the passion alive? Today's episode is a different one and a fun one. I've been making music i...

The Uni-Party is in full freak out mode as they lose control across the Globe. Mueller throwssome bait to the shadow state in a Press Conference yesterday, and globalism loses big. This week we’re talking about what Mueller actually said vs what the media thinks he said, and taking alook at just how disastrous bureaucratic autocracy has been for Europe, and how they’re fighting back. As always, it...

The question of the day is..... What's the deal with these young'n's not goin' to church? And is it a good thing or a bad thing that the church attendance numbers are declining? On today's episode of The System is Down I discuss this issue with sociologist and author, Dr Tricia Bruce and we dig deep into the ever-shifting climate of church culture.  As someone who grew up...

This week, we take some time to examine how things have shifted in the Q Movement regarding frequency of Q posts, the ultimate mission of Q, and what the silence likely indicates. Then we dig into the NXIVM group: it’s origins, it’s fall from public grace/relative anonymity, and the very interesting political connection rife within.

The question of the day is... How much government would you be willing to fund? Today's episode is my conversation with Theodore of CrowdFundedGovernment.com on his radical idea on how to make government only as big or effective as people are truly willing to pay for, basically thru crowd funding... Or at least that's my interpretation, but don't take my word for it. What would that...

DOJ comes out swinging, Deep State panics, and the DOJ “officially” begins its investigation of the investigators. As the boomerang rebounds on the real colluders, we dig into how the Mueller Probe was launched in the first place, John Durham’s past, and what his present appointment likely means moving forward. If you like real justice and you aren’t excited yet, now’s the time to keep your eyes o...

Happy belated Mother's Day! To celebrate, I invited my mom back on for another funcomfortable conversation just like last year. Of course we touched on all the usual fun topics like, conspiracies, politics, religion, alcohol, libertarianism, drugs, prostitutes, and all the other things that normal people chat with their mothers about on Mother's Day, right?  This episode was recorded at...

This week on Q-anon Chronicles, we examine the escalating feud over the Mueller Report as we watch Congress collectively lose their minds. Later, we touch on recent developments with China and trade, and then have a hearty laugh together regarding the “BOMBSHELL” tax information leaked to the NYT this week. Keep an ear out for one of the most jaw-dropping Q-proofs I’ve ever encountered, towards th...

Happy Birthday to #FireCraig! Welcome back to the least trusted name in news! This is the place where we watch the world burn together and make fun of it. We start off the show by listening to our voicemails from the week. Call in now and leave your own voicemail and we'll play it on next weeks episode. (309)716-3818. On the Docket: *Man chops off his twig and berries *Denver decriminalizes m...

The question of the day is... What is art? How do you define it? Are there boxes and boundaries that it shouldn't cross or break out of? Today's episode is a special one to me. Perhaps you've heard of The Tiger Lillies, perhaps you haven't, but they're a band that I stumbled upon late last year and it was quite honestly, love at first fright. It was art unlike anything I&a...

Has Donald Trump been an Intelligence Community asset all along? This week we dig into some of the circumstantial evidence spanning decades, which supports the idea that Trump could figurehead such a mind-blowing operation as Q.Later, we touch on the Mueller Investigation as a counter-intelligence sting operation against the shadow government, and some ancillary events that are only adding more he...

The question of the day is.... How many amazing conversations have you missed over the last THREE YEARS of the show?!!!...That's right. Today TSID turns 3 and I feel like we're finally learning to walk and find our stride. It's been an amazing three years that has personally helped me in so many ways. Not only has this show given me the opportunity to talk to so many amazing people...

In Episode 1 of QAnon Chronicles, we take a broad look at just how odd and out of the ordinary reality has been for the past few years. From curious, under the radar DOJ activity, to leadership change politically and elsewhere all across the globe, to unprecedented political division and whole nations embroiled in revolutionary protests without end in sight…I’m here to try my best--as an average g...

The question of the day is..... If you don't like the way things are, what are you doing to change them? We all say that we want to make the world a better place, feed the homeless, love the unloved, but are we really taking action to do it? Today's episode is my conversation with Pastor Wendy Bezotte. Wendy has a passion for foster children and wants to help them have a better and more...

Welcome to the latest addition to The System is Down podcast, QAnon Chronicles. If you dabble at all in conspiracies, watch the nightly news, or even just browse the internet, you've likely heard buzz about the QAnon theories.  We did a main episode on Q way back in August of 2018 with my personal friend, Scott McElroy, who had dug far deeper into the theory than I. A lot has unfolded since t...

The question of the day is.... Can you be born in the wrong body, or is it a mental illness? Today's episode is my inevitably panty-wadding conversation with the first man to ever be legally recognized as "non-binary" un the United States, James (Formerly Jamie) Shupe. James' story is definitely a fascinating one. After being sexually abused as a child, serving in the military,...

The question of the day is…. Why aren’t you a libertarian? Well, it’s been a while but we’re doing it again. It’s time for another episode of the fan-favorite series, TriPartisan Triggering, where I am joined by a republican, a democrat, and a libertarian and we civilly discuss a hot button topic from three differing political angles without any shouting or name calling. This time we’re talking ab...

The question of the day is..... How much do you REALLY know about American history?... Like, really? Today's episode is my conversation with college professor of history, CJ Killmer. CJ has devoted much of his life to deep dive exploring lesser known truths surrounding important events in American history. On his fantastic podcast, Dangerous History, CJ recently completed a massive 15 part se...
