In this episode, host Alex Sachon launches a new series on the topic of Technocracy, covering its origins, its growing influence in our economic and governance systems, and its potential as a replacement for capitalism. The material in this series is extracted from Chapter 6 of Alex's recent book "The Coming World Nation," which links the rise of technocracy with the motion toward global government and the pending revelation of a profound energy revolution. The episode also includes updates on upcoming projects, including a new nonprofit and new Manly P. Hall "Study Guide" series. The written article that this podcast is based on is available to read at thewisdomtradition.substack.com.

In this episode, host Alex Sachon critically examines key points made by US foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. This interview focuses partly on the current situation in Gaza and partly on the perplexing nature of the US-Israel relationship. While Alex appreciates Mearsheimer’s detailed historical analysis of Israel’s motivations for its policies toward Gaza and his deep knowledge of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship", he fundamentally disagrees with Mearsheimer’s nation-state-centric approach and his emphasis on ideology as the main driver of U.S. foreign policy. Instead, Alex argues that only by understanding the U.S. as a global empire—driven by control, centralization, and technological dominance—can we make sense of its actions in the Middle East. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of Mearsheimer’s perspective, offering a broader framework for understanding current events.Table of Contents00:00 – Introduction: Framing the Debate03:32 – Clip 1: The U.S. Foreign Policy EstablishmentAlex critiques Mearsheimer’s focus on ideology and the nation-state, arguing for a broader model that distinguishes between America as a nation-state and as a global empire.04:34 – Clip 2: The U.S.-Israel RelationshipMearsheimer discusses the influence of the Israel lobby and U.S. military support. Alex agrees with the factual analysis at the nation-state level but insists the real driver is the empire’s need for control, not just lobbying or ideology.08:33 – Clip 3: The Two-State SolutionMearsheimer claims the U.S. wants peace and a two-state solution. Alex strongly disagrees, arguing that ongoing conflict serves U.S. imperial interests, especially regarding the petrodollar system.10:24 – Clip 4: The Greater Israel Project and Ethnic CleansingMearsheimer details the historical roots and current execution of the Greater Israel agenda. Alex praises this clarity but adds that the American Empire’s structure enables these dynamics.17:58 – Clip 5: Why Israel Wants GazaMearsheimer explains the strategic and ideological motivations for controlling Gaza and neighboring regions. Alex acknowledges the accuracy of the historical analysis and adds economic and geostrategic factors.22:57 – ConclusionAlex summarizes the need for a more dynamic model of American power to understand Middle East geopolitics and global events.Send us a text

In this episode, I read through an extended portion of the Conclusion essay that wraps my new book, The Coming World Nation. It reveals important new information about how our planet is now entering into a period of profound transformation, one heralded by the Summer Solstice sun intersecting the point on the zodiac interfacing with the "galactic anticenter". You can read the entire essay (including the parts that I don't go into here) if you get the book, which is now available on Amazon.

In my last episode, I shared an essay titled "The Kali Yuga Reaches Its Grand Finale", which I wrote as the introduction to my forthcoming new book "The Coming World Nation". As I was doing research for it, I came across the work of scholar Bibhu Dev Misra, who recently published a groundbreaking study of the Hindu Yuga system called "Yuga Shift". In his book, Bibhu offers an innovative new approach to dating the timeline of the Yuga cycle and we discuss this in detail in a recent interview I conducted with him. In our chat, we focus in particular on dissecting the timeline and themes of the Kali Yuga, the "dark age" of the Yuga Cycle, which mankind has been trapped in for millennia but which Bibhu calculates is soon to be reaching its final end. For more on Bibhu's work, see his website: https://www.bibhudevmisra.com/To check out my essay on the topic, see: https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com Table of Contents00:00 - Introduction and BackgroundIntroduction to Bibhu Dev Misra and his journey from technology to ancient wisdom.05:00 - Understanding Yuga CyclesOverview of the Yuga cycles, different interpretations, and the significance of the Kali Yuga in various cultures.20:00 - Astronomical and Cultural AlignmentsAlignments of Yuga cycles with astronomical cycles and comparisons across cultural traditions.40:00 - Evidence of Lost CivilizationsDiscussion of ancient civilizations, the Younger Dryas impact, and cataclysmic resets in human history.1:00:00 - Materialism and the Kali Yuga's InfluenceHow the Kali Yuga influences materialism and spiritual decline in civilization.1:21:00 - Astrological Calculations and MidpointsInsights into astrological influences on Yuga cycles and the significance of historical midpoints.1:52:00 - Predictions for the End of the Kali YugaExamination of potential signs of the Kali Yuga’s end, including comet impacts and global renewal.2:04:00 - Concluding Thoughts on Spiritual TransformationReflections on the importance of spiritual growth and personal transformation in times of global change.Send us a text

In today's episode I do an in-depth breakdown of a Manly P. Hall lecture I've had on my radar for a long time. It's called "Magnetic Fields of the Human Body" and it offers a wide-ranging introduction to the role that the electromagnetic field surrounding the human body - often called the "aura" - plays in human life. It offers the key not only to understanding human health, but also human psychology, as well as the mysteries of astrology and alchemy.The video version of this episode will be featured on my substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com). Thanks for tuning in! And don't forget to check out my book on Manly P. Hall (available on Amazon). - AlexSend us a text
Finally, the long-delayed Q+A episode! I begin with an update of some recent stuff that's been going on with me and then delve into listener-submitted questions. Thank you to everyone who wrote in! Here's a list of the questions I tackle in order:1. SJ: I think the Holy Spirit represents the feminine. What say you? 2. John W.:Is it reasonable that we are witnessing the fall of the American Empire? Or better the fall of the cabal?3.Anthony S.:Can and will what we today call esoteric knowledge be divulged to the mainstream and general populace so as to become common knowledge, or will this kind of knowledge always attract and pertain to a smaller but perhaps more influential niche target audience?4.Katie:I’ve recently been drawn to read the Kybalion again; however, it feels like I’m reading a different book each time I go through it. I don’t see any of your teachings posted about hermetic philosophy, and am wondering if you have thoughts or lessons on it. 5.Kelly:How does the advancement of AI, which has been rumored to be sentient, play into the future of our species? Are we in real trouble of a potential skynet situation?6.Chris:What is your interpretation, or that of Hall’s if he addressed it, regarding why Pandora refrained from releasing hope from her box into the world?7.Conlan:What is the first question someone should ask themselves before going on the journey of exploring their consciousness?8.Kaity:Many of the esoteric philosophies refer to "the law" and I have a basic sort of level of understanding of what this means and represents, but I'd like to know if there's more info on this "law" anywhere that you know of that delves into specifics? Also, have you delved much into numerology as a study of people and their purpose according to Pythagoras' original concepts of numbers? Finally, jow has your own personal way of living and lifestyle been altered by studying esoteric philosophy?9.Lauren: I am confused by FDR occult/NWO influence. Do you think he was nefarious and working on behalf of the oligarchy? Also, why do you think Engdahl and other authors were not eliminated as a threat during their research? Seems like certain people disappear and others continue to proliferate information(Sorry for time reasons I couldn’t get to your other questions)10. Chris J.:How do you explain the extreme overrepresentation of Jews and dual citizenship Israelis within the United States Government? I agree that the United States has become a corporate oligarchy as you say so often but it still seems to me that there is something behind the scenes orchestrating much of what has occurred in the past two centuries.11.Antti:Hey Alex! I've been trying to fit the Antarctic treaty to the bigger political picture but can only formulate well rationed guesses.Do you have content discussing the theme or insight what is going on there?

Today I'm excited to share my recent interview with Dr. Mark Bailey, one of the leading intellects and voices in the anti-vax, anti-germ theory, anti-allopathic-medicine movement that has sprung up around the world with force since 2020. This interview is oriented around a detailed discussion of the deep-rooted scientific corruption existing at the heart of modern medicine. The COVID "epidemic" is referenced as a case study. Mark frequently works in tandem with his wife Sam (also a doctor). Together they run a Substack, YouTube, and Rumble channel, where they post very informative videos breaking down various topics pertaining to health, medicine, and disease. You can follow them here: https://drsambailey.substack.com/Mark and Sam recently published a book together called The Final Pandemic: An Anecdote to Medical Tyranny. They wrote it as an approachable introduction to the anti-germ theory viewpoint, breaking down the various ways that the scientific method is violated and corrupted in order to justify the fictitious "germ theory" paradigm, which the entire business model of modern medicine is built off of. You can find a copy of their new book on Amazon.Thanks for listening!- Alexwww.alexsachon.comSend us a text
In this episode, I break down a classic Manly P. Hall lecture titled "Learning to Know the Dweller in the Flesh". It's all about understanding the philosophy of the Self (or Higher Self), how it relates to the physical personality, and what we can do to align with it. I start the episode off by reading a short essay I published a couple weeks ago on my Substack called "The Real You". If you don't follow me there, you should: thewisdomtradition.substack.comThanks for tuning in!- AlexSend us a text
In my newest podcast episode, I analyze a classic lecture from Manly P. Hall titled “Armageddon: The War that Ends in Peace.” The contents of this lecture fit right in with the theme of mankind’s “Fight with the Shadow”, a topic we have explored often in the various books and articles I’ve published so far on my Substack. For example, my most recent article and podcast episode on the WHO is built entirely around this theme.Check out my Substack (thewisdomtradition.substack.com) for the written transcript of this episode, featuring both Hall's lecture and my commentary.Thanks for tuning in! - Alexwww.alexsachon.com Send us a text
In this unscripted episode I discuss a wide-range of topics centered around the theme that world events are indicating that mankind is being rapidly pulled toward an inevitable confrontation within the psychological force within himself that Carl Jung called the Shadow. The discussion starts with a look at the WHO's new Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and considers that how this looks like the "final solution" for the aspiring health dictators. Other sectors of society are experiencing similar motions toward the final stage of various interconnected nefarious plans, be they the collapse of the energy economy, the forced migration crisis and "clash of civilizations" scenario, the deconstruction of the industrial food system, and more. Towards the end of the episode I also give some updates on the channel and some new stuff that's been going on with me.Thanks for listening, - Alexwww.alexsachon.comthewisdomtradition.substack.comSend us a text
In today's episode I'm sharing a recent interview I did with journalist Riley Waggaman, formerly of RT, who is based in Russia and writes critically of Russia's complicity in advancing the same technocratic Great Reset agenda that America and the EU - its supposed enemies - are also advancing. So while on one level China and Russia are the espoused enemies of the West, on another level they are all collaborating to bring the world into a new paradigm of global technocratic governance. In this interview, we talk first about his perspective of the Ukraine War from inside Russia, and then we move on to talk about Russia's complicity in the Great Reset agenda. I was surprised to learn that not only is Russia on board with the vaxx mandates, CBDCs, and Digital ID systems, but they also have their own version of a forced migration crisis going on. Check out Riley's excellent Substack: https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/And mine: https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com/Also my website, where links to the podcast and YouTube can be found: www.alexsachon.comThank you,Alex SachonSend us a text
In today's episode, I'll be investigating what looks to be a key pillar of the ongoing Great Reset: the weaponization of illegal alien migrations into the US, UK, and EU. In particular, I'm going to examine the staggering number of migrants from all over the world streaming into the US from its Southern Border with Mexico - an operation that is clearly being run and orchestrated by a coalition between the Biden Administration, the Deep State, and the UN. In this episode, I share numerous clips from The Alex Jones Show where he talks about this engineered crisis. I find he's been one of the best sources for analysis on this issue (and as it turns out, this is a topic he has been on top of for over a decade). I also share and comment on clips from The Jimmy Dore Show, the Shawn Ryan Show, and others.

Hey folks,About a week ago I had a long conversation with Anthony Hall, Professor Emeritus of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. He is an expert in the colonization of indigenous peoples and views the ongoing Israel-Palestine situation in that light. He is also a frequent contributor to the website globalresearch.ca, which is where I discovered his work. This interview follows up my recent article on 10/7 called "October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear". Dr. Hall has several related articles on the topic that I recommend, which can be found on his Substack: https://anthonyjhall.substack.com/Thanks for listening, - Alexwww.alexsachon.com Send us a text
I wanted to offer some additional commentary on my recent article that takes an in-depth look at the October 7th attacks on Israel. The article is the first in a series and in this commentary I relate the 10/7 attacks and Israel's response to them to some of the larger themes I'll be discussing in those later articles.Of particular interest is the idea that the Great Reset may herald a significant change in the relationship between the US and Israel.You can find the original article on my Substack. A touched-up transcript of this commentary is also available there. It's worth reading.thewisdomdtradition.substack.com- Alex Sachonwww.alexsachon.com Send us a text
In this episode, I revisit the events of the October 7th attack on Israel. The goal is to move beyond certain oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the event that have become prominent. There is a lot more here than what first meets the eye.The article can be read on my Substack: thewisdomtradition.substack.comSections: 1. Others Were Involved with the 10/7 Attacks Besides Hamas2. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Uneasy Allies3. The Strategic Objectives Behind Operation Al-Aqsa Flood4. The IDF’s Counter-Response Killed Many Israeli Citizens5. Israeli Intelligence had Foreknowledge of the AttackThis article is the first in a series. Stay tuned for the rest. I should point out that in this article I revise some of my initial conceptions of the 10/7 attack, which I discussed in earlier episodes from late October.- Alexwww.alexsachon.comSend us a text
I'm excited to announce that my book on Manly P. Hall is now available on Amazon in North America and Europe! (If that link doesn't work there's a link on my website: www.alexsachon.com.)

When I originally wrote it, I intended it to be a book and to be read, so I'm very happy that it's finally available in that form.In this podcast episode, I offer a summary and overview of the book, tell you what it's about, why I wrote it, and why I think Manly P. Hall is such a notable figure in modern world history.For a limited time, I'm offering a book-launch bundle featuring a signed copy of the book and a limited-release t-shirt. My plan is to ship these mid-December. It's available on my e-store: thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.com.Thank you for following and for your support so far.
