Connecting the Dots w/Dan Happel

A Peek Inside the World’s Largest Climate Conference That Shapes Global Policy

This episode of Connecting the Dots is a first-hand investigative discussion centered on what the guests describe as the global climate governance apparatus, specifically through the lens of COP 30, the United Nations climate process, and its real-world impacts on freedom, agriculture, property rights, energy, and political accountability.
Guest host Mark Sutherland is joined by Debbie Bacculuppi and Andrew Muller, both of whom attended COP 30 and related global summits firsthand. What they describe is not a debate over climate science, but a tightly controlled political environment where dissenting voices are almost entirely absent.
Debbie, a Northern California cattle rancher, explains how climate policy directly threatens land ownership, water access, and food production and why farmers and ranchers feel the impact long before the rest of society does.
Andrew shares what it was like being one of only a handful of independent journalists among tens of thousands of attendees, documenting how narrative control, symbolism, and institutional power operate behind the scenes.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on:
Why only a tiny number of dissenting journalists are allowed inside COP events
How climate policy is being used to reshape agriculture, energy, housing, and sovereignty
What a controversial anti-Trump sculpture at COP reveals about approved political messaging
Why rising energy costs, housing unaffordability, and loss of property rights are deeply connected
How global institutions bypass voters while shaping domestic policy
This episode isn’t about abstract theory, it’s about what the guests personally witnessed, filmed, and experienced.
What really happens inside the world’s largest climate conferences and why are so few journalists allowed to question it?

Where the Constitution Ends: Government Abuse and the Collapse of Justice

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, guest host Mark Sutherland leads a wide-ranging and unfiltered discussion examining the moral collapse behind America’s legal system, courts, and governing institutions. The conversation explores how law has shifted from a tool meant to protect citizens into a weapon used against them, particularly in family courts, administrative courts, and politically sensitive cases.
The panel breaks down how judicial activism, unchecked bureaucracy, and institutional corruption have eroded due process and equal protection under the law. They discuss real-world consequences for families, parents, and individuals caught in systems that operate with little transparency, accountability, or constitutional restraint.
Throughout the episode, the discussion connects historical precedents, constitutional principles, and present-day cases to show how abuse of authority has become normalized—and why many Americans no longer trust the institutions meant to serve them. This episode challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about power, justice, and what happens when morality is removed from the rule of law.
If you’ve ever wondered how America reached a point where courts can destroy lives while claiming to uphold justice, this episode pulls back the curtain and connects the dots.

Exposing the Globalist Mind Trap and the Technocratic War on Western Civilization

This episode is fundamentally about how modern populations are controlled without realizing it, and why most people fail to recognize the systems shaping their beliefs, behavior, and compliance.
The world is not drifting into global control, it is being steered there with precision. Understanding the psychological and spiritual mechanisms behind mass compliance is essential for breaking it. If citizens don’t wake up and reclaim their role in self-governance, unaccountable technocrats will do the governing for them.
Filmmaker and commentator Mark Sutherland steps behind the microphone with co-host David Sumrall to examine the global forces reshaping Western civilization. Together they dismantle the narratives pushed by international institutions, captured media, and propaganda machines that keep citizens distracted while technocratic control structures tighten around them. 
Freedom dies first in the mind, then in the culture, and finally in the law.
Mark and David connect the dots between psychological conditioning, cultural erosion, global governance, and the spiritual battle underlying it all. They expose how mass compliance has become the ruling class’s greatest weapon and why reclaiming critical thought, moral conviction, and personal courage is essential if humanity hopes to push back against elite-driven transformation.
This episode is a direct challenge to passive spectatorship. It calls listeners to recognize the speed of the takeover, understand the mechanisms behind it, and step forward as engaged participants in the fight for truth, sovereignty, and genuine human freedom.
 

America at the Crossroads: Lawfare, Immigration, and the Fight for Sovereignty

In this hard-hitting episode, guest host Mark Sutherland brings together two frontline political fighters from Oklahoma and Texas to confront the accelerating crises reshaping the American landscape. The conversation pulls no punches, exposing the coordinated pressures being applied on our institutions, our communities, and even our food supply, all part of a broader struggle over sovereignty in the 21st century.
Mark bridges UK and US activism, bringing on two candidates, JJ (Oklahoma) and Doc/Michael (Texas), for a raw conversation about:
Weaponized lawfare
State-vs-federal sovereignty
Immigration and demographic warfare
Revival of accountability inside the U.S. military
mRNA in livestock
Corporate capture of the food supply
Globalist attacks on property rights, farming, and national identity
Islamization of American cities
The spiritual warfare layer behind all of this
This episode has three layers happening at once:
Political ground game (state-level warfare)
Deep-state vs. constitutional order (lawfare, DOD, borders)
Civilizational struggle (values, demographics, sovereignty)
The guests outline how lawfare has replaced legitimate governance, weaponizing indictments, selective prosecution, and bureaucratic intimidation to silence political opponents. Rather than accept this as the new normal, states like Oklahoma and Texas are beginning to build multi-state legal alliances, forming the backbone of a new constitutional resistance.
Beyond the courtroom, the episode dives into the demographic battles unfolding across America. The rapid transformation of cities through unmanaged migration is no longer a future concern, it’s visible now in formerly stable communities from Michigan to Texas. As Mark notes, these changes aren’t random; they follow well-established patterns seen in Europe and the UK, reflecting a global strategy rather than isolated local events.
The guests also expose the biomedical and agricultural front of this struggle: unlawful military vaccine mandates that caused widespread injury, mRNA technology quietly entering the livestock supply, and corporate cartels tightening their grip on beef, pork, and poultry. Food, like energy and medicine, is becoming another lever of control and independent farmers are being squeezed out to make room for global “sustainability” regimes.
Guest: JJ: Candidate from Oklahoma. Former law enforcement background; active in exposing public corruption. Leading efforts to coordinate multi-state legal pushback against lawfare, selective prosecution, and constitutional violations. Known for bold state sovereignty initiatives, including investigations into unlawful federal mandates.
Guest: Doc / Michael: Texas Candidate & Military Whistleblower. Former military officer and medical professional who publicly exposed unlawful vaccine mandates inside the U.S. military. Testified in the high-profile SEALs v. DOD case, which helped overturn mandate policies for religious exemptions. Provides firsthand data on neurological injuries linked to forced vaccination programs and ongoing military accountability efforts.

WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT & WILD HORSES

Common sense doesn't seem to have much impact on modern wildfire policies, and even less when preordained, and sometimes radical, environmental agendas are imbedded in Federal Agency rulemaking. I saw that firsthand when serving as a County Commissioner and also as a member of the Southwest Montana BLM Resource Advisory Committee.
Our input was often limited to rubber stamping preordained federal policies or being entirely shut out of the process, which happened to me quite a bit when I spoke out. Local officials were there mostly for window dressing and to provide the perception of local input.
What passed as legitimate land use policies before the BLM and US Forest Service management staffing were coopted by radical environmental NGOs, have turned many of our national forests into bug infested, mono-culture, poorly managed, and underutilized tinder boxes, waiting for the next catastrophic fire event.
I was asked to do a podcast on the subject of wild horses a while back, but did not feel comfortable doing that because so much of the subject has been politicized by both sides of the aisle. I knew more than a few folks that would become nearly unhinged when the subject came up, and I did'nt feel personally knowledgable enough, or know anyone of sufficient scientific and historical expertise to properly address the subject.
That is until I had the opportunity to meet wild horse expert, William E. Simpson II. Bill has an amazing grasp of the whole arena, including forestry, land use, understory stewardship and historically accurate equine biology. And he's a real cowboy, not a tree hugger! After about 15 minutes on the topic of wild horses, I felt I had finally met somone that checked all the boxes needed to give a full and complete picture of what constitutes a truly wild horse, and why their future should matter to most Americans.
It turns out that wild horses are the best specie at understory grazing in extremely rugged, predator filled, back country, fire prone, wilderness areas.
Bill Simpson is committed to the survival of the North American wild horses that migrated across the Bering Strait long before the Spanish Conquistadors brought domesticated breeds to the Americas.
These wild horses are markedly different than domesticated species and are uniquely adapted to survival in the harshest climates, surrounded by predators, and thriving on forage that would starve a lesser species.
They represent a unique opportunity to reduce wildfire in remote back country areas where roads don't exist and where these tough little horses with hooves of flint thrive on limited resources in areas totally unsuited for domestic livestock grazing.
It's time to try something different and tell the 3 letter agencies to take their stewardship responsibilities seriously without selling out to environmental special interests promoting the flavor of the day on everything from alternative energy to natural resource development.
It's time to hear the wild horse story!

NIGERIAN GENOCIDE (FACTS vs FICTION)

Although there are some who question reports of Nigerian Christian genocide, we must hear first person eyewitness accounts to learn the truth.
Is Nigerian genocide fact or fiction? Join Dan and his guest Mike Arnold for a first person account of the events that led to Mike Arnold's cries to the civilized world to stop this persecutuion before it destroys millions of Nigerian and other African Christians that are sytematically being forced into accepting Islam by corrupt political leaders.
The Nigerian genocide against Christians is very real; affecting the lives of all those caught in the path of political forces intent on transforming all of Africa into a uniform Islamic theocracy. Without intervention, it is estimated some 2 million currently displaced (kidnapped?) Nigerian youth will be radicalized by 2030.
Africa Arise programs are reaching out to the afflicted populations, currently serving some 600 child survivors with a free, high-quality, loving education – and stand ready to reach many more given the opportunity.
The most resource rich continent in the world has a long history of subjugation and colonialization by the old European Powers, and more recently by the CCP attempting to gain natural resource dominance through their Belt and Road initiative. Erstwhile efforts by the radical green lobby to limit the development of affordable energy that would allow Africans to enjoy economic development have kept much of the continent desperately poor. Meanwhile, despotic political factions treat Black Christians as little more than cannon fodder in an autocratic system that relies on constant strife and war to maintain control.
It's time to stop this madness and end the tribalism and theocracy that continues to destabilize the entire continent.

The Rise of an AI-enabled Global Technocratic Dictatorship.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a tool we use, it’s becoming the system we all live inside. In this explosive episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel welcomes back media ecologist and technocracy expert James Martinez to break down how AI, quantum computing, surveillance, and global power structures are rapidly reshaping human life.
James explains in plain terms how governments and corporations are building digital profiles of every person, why quantum computers could end financial privacy, and how new technologies are being used to influence thought, behavior, and even culture itself. He exposes why world leaders are pushing massive AI data centers without the energy, water, or safeguards to support them and what that means for ordinary people everywhere.
This conversation goes far beyond technology. It uncovers the psychological, economic, legal, and spiritual implications of a world run by algorithms instead of accountable human beings. If you’ve ever wondered where AI is truly heading and what it could mean for your freedom, identity, and future, this episode delivers answers you won’t hear anywhere else.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How AI and quantum computing are changing global power behind the scenes.
Why governments are building digital “avatars” of every citizen.
How surveillance, biometrics, and social data tie into a worldwide control grid.
Why many political leaders have no idea what they’re authorizing.
How technology is being used to shape human perception and behavior.
What individuals must understand to stay free in an AI-driven world.
This is not sci-fi, it’s happening now.

The Electrical Grid, AI Data Centers & EMP Shielding

Most Americans flip on a light switch without ever thinking about how fragile our electrical grid actually is. In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel and Montana Public Service Commissioner Randal Pinocci break down, in simple, everyday language, how the U.S. power grid works, why it’s failing, and what every state must do to keep the lights on in the years ahead.
You don’t need an engineering degree for this one. Randy explains the grid in plain language how electricity moves across the state, why old power lines are failing, and how fast-growing AI data centers could double or triple electric bills unless we make smarter choices.
One of the biggest questions answered in this episode is why utilities across the country keep reinstalling old, 1940s-era infrastructure instead of upgrading to modern carbon-fiber technology that is stronger, safer, fire-resistant, EMP-resistant, and far more efficient.  The long-term savings for ratepayers would be enormous.
This episode removes the mystery around how power gets to your home, why rates keep climbing, and what could happen if the grid faces a major EMP event, blackout, or surge in AI-driven energy consumption. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how vulnerable the grid is and how fixable the problems actually are.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why outdated steel-core power lines are still being installed nationwide.
How carbon-fiber lines can prevent fires, cut energy loss, and protect against EMP events.
Why utilities resist modernization even when it saves ratepayers money.
What would happen to any state during a major EMP, natural or man-made.
Why transformers are one of the biggest grid vulnerabilities.
How AI data centers could overwhelm local grids unless smarter policies are adopted.
Why nuclear energy has become safer, cheaper, and meltdown-proof and why America is behind.
Why cold-weather states (like Montana) can carry more load due to ambient cooling.
What citizens in every state should be demanding from their Public Service Commissions.
Randy also shares surprising inside stories about utility decisions, political roadblocks, and new technology that could dramatically strengthen America’s grid if the nation had the courage to adopt it.
Whether you’re in Montana, Texas, Florida, California, or anywhere in between, this episode will help you understand the grid in a way that no news clip or political talking point ever could.
A practical, eye-opening conversation about the future of American power and what must happen to keep the lights on for every state in the nation.

HOW 9/11 CHANGED THE WORLD

Even for those who consider themselves well-versed in 9/11 truth, this episode delivers evidence and context that rarely surface in mainstream or even alternative discussions. We walk through what the University of Alaska’s 4-year forensic model actually proves about Building 7, expose multiple instances of media foreknowledge far beyond the famous BBC clip, and highlight the overlooked fireproofing and elevator “upgrades” that gave unprecedented access to the core of the towers in the weeks before the attacks. You’ll also see how thermitic signatures match collapse footage with chilling precision.
More importantly, we connect these findings to the larger geopolitical machinery that used 9/11 to rewire America into a surveillance state while launching endless foreign conflicts under the banner of “defending democracy.” We explore the war trigger system, the legal push for a special grand jury investigation, and why public opinion has finally flipped against the official story.
If you think you know the full 9/11 story, this episode will show you the missing links that tie the engineering evidence, the political motives, the intelligence anomalies, and the 24-year aftermath into one coherent picture.
America, we have seen a most disturbing change in American culture since 9/11 and that is not by accident. Wake Up and realize that we are being conditioned to trade our basic freedoms for safety in a never ending cycle of false flag Hegelian Dialectic conditioning events designed to turn us into brainless and gutless sheep.
Moreover; this was reinforced through Covid 19 and other vaccine programs that turned once proud Americans into terrified victims and government subjects. We are losing our ability to resist and to say NO to the most outrageous government overreach. As Benjamin Franklin famously said “those who would trade freedom for a little temporary safety deserve neither freedom nor safety”
Until we demand answers to the events of 9/11 and the subsequent loss of personal freedoms that came after the passage of the Patriot Act and the War on Terror, we can never recapture the rights and liberties guaranteed to all Americans under our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

COMMON TALK & COMMON SENSE WITH A COMMON LAWYER

Brent has a way of speaking common sense and undeniable truth in terms that knuckle dragging hillbillies like me find hysterically entertaining. To say that I enjoy these down home conversations is a gross understatement.
So, what will we be talking about during our copious manufacture of intellectual fertilizer?
Just about anything and everything that we find discussion worthy, including our childhoods in rural America in a time when we could afford to be uninformed, naive and innocent.
Sometimes it is much better to say very little when there is very little to say that isn't negative. It's been that kind of week, and I'm ready for some really good news for a change.
I can think of no-one better to convey a message of hope and humor than Brent. The fact that Brent does a little Christian ministry on the side is another good reason for him to join us for a little clear thinking and a common sense message about heaven and hell in a world seemingly hell bent.
Common sense, common law and common talk were always integral with the American system of justice and government of, by, and for the people. That's how we functioned for the first several hundred years and is why we must recapture those standards if we are to survive as a constitutional republic.
the ancient oath to defend against enemies “foreign and domestic,” traced back over 1,200 years
the shocking truth that America was never meant to be a “republic” at all
the real system our founders intended — a common law nation centered on juries and local authority
why twelve-man juries, not politicians or judges, were designed to be the final arbiters of truth
how administrative and civil-law courts quietly replaced the law of the land with the “law of the city”
how the Patriot Act and 20 years of federal overreach accelerated the destruction of due process
and the forgotten fact that America actually has two constitutions — one written and one inherited through common law tradition

The Great Taking: Understanding the Engineered Collapse of America’s Financial System

In this special solo episode, Dan Happel breaks down the unfolding economic crisis that global elites have engineered for decades... an impending collapse designed to strip Americans of their freedom, their property, and their financial sovereignty. With his scheduled guest cancelled, Dan takes the opportunity to deliver one of the most important deep dives of the year.
Drawing from The Great Taking and the insights of financial analyst David Webb, Dan exposes the legal frameworks and banking mechanisms that now allow institutions to seize customer assets, redefine ownership, weaponize derivatives, and quietly prepare for a coordinated “solvent wind-down” of the global financial system. These are laws already on the books.
From the explosion of derivatives and securitization to repo market spikes, failing banks, and property tax traps, Dan connects the dots showing how the average American has been set up for a fall while a tiny elite consolidates control. This episode also explores the role of the CIA, international intelligence agencies, and compartmentalization in shaping a world where most people only see a single pixel of a massive, engineered picture.
But Dan doesn’t stop at the mechanics of collapse, he confronts the spiritual dimension behind this unfolding battle between good and evil, reminding listeners that the American remnant must hold firm, act wisely, and prepare morally, financially, and spiritually.
 

POPULATION CONTROL 101

Undertakers and embalmers are coming forward in unprecedented numbers with personal observations and physical evidence of deadly blood clots and unusual latex like substances in vascular systems in a growing number of deceased recipients of Covid vaccines.
Moreover, there was a multi year study conducted in the UK showing an unusual increase in cardio vascular deaths in otherwise healthy adults between 25 and 55 identified as thrice Covid-19 vaccinated people. If these vaccines are really as safe and effective as professed by the medical establishment, why are autopsy results of vaccine related deaths being so consistently swept under the rug by the establishment while documented evidence like the UK Study are being ignored?
As we have shown in previous podcasts, a steady diet of fear has converted a society of tough, independent, critical thinkers into a flock of mindless followers. Our Connecting the Dots podcast believes that unchecked fear is the real virus destroying human society. Only truth and accountability will cure this terrible sickness and save humanity from enslavement by greedy and autocratic men hell-bent on destroying most of humanity; while transhumanizing the rest into automatons meant to serve them.
Guest: Major Tom Haviland USAF (ret) is a Freelance Data Analyst. Until 2022 he worked as a defense contractor for 16 years after spending 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, retiring at the rank of Major. He spent his entire career as an Electrical Engineer and Data Analyst. Haviland has a Bachelor's degree from Ohio State University in Mathematics. He also earned a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana Tech University, and a Master's degree in Computer Resources and Information Management from Webster University in St. Louis, MO.
Haviland was forced to resign from his position as a defense contractor for refusing to take the covid vaccine as required as a condition of employment by the U.S. government. He became a concerned U.S. citizen who wanted to help discover the truth concerning the magnitude of this "white fibrous clots" that seem to have a connection with Covid19 and the model/RNA "vaccines" that were approved with unprecidented testing waivers of safety and efficacy.
Haviland decided to reach out to funeral homes and embalmers around the world and has put together a survey and questionnaire that has provided invaluable information in linking these medical anomalies to Covid19 and the vaccine programs. He is currently expanding his research coverage to much larger number of embalmers, asking them to share their observations concerning the timing and magnitude of these clots in order to help scientists study and eventually solve this problem via the use of his scientific and factual survey.
As an experienced Data Analyst, he is offering his services free of charge to gather this important data so scientists can then use that data to help understand the "white fibrous clot" anomaly.

Rewilding as a Weapon: Wolves, Water, and the War on Rural America

This episode examines how rewilding policies, wolf expansion, water rights manipulation, dam destruction, and UN climate governance intersect into one unified global agenda. Guest host Mark Sutherland speaks first with California rancher and activist Debbie Bacigalupi, whose firsthand experiences reveal how environmental policy is being weaponized to eliminate rural America. Later, Alex Newman joins to expose how the UN COP climate summits serve as a global mechanism for wealth extraction, regulatory control, and the restructuring of Western life under technocratic climate governance.
Together, the episode “connects the dots” between local crises (wolves killing cattle, water grabs, full basin management, biodiversity regulations) and the larger international machinery driving these changes: Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement, global climate finance, and bureaucratic systems designed to centralize power while masking their true intent behind ecological language.

WHAT ISN'T SO GRAND ABOUT THE GOP

The Establishment Democrat and Republican Parties have become a good old boys club controlled by $$$ special interests groups.
The Right talks a big game about principles but what happens when your own team breaks ranks?
In this episode, Montana State Senator Theresa Manzella unpacks how nine Republican senators “mutinied” on day one, siding with Democrats and setting the tone for the entire session. The grassroots answered: at the state convention those nine lost their voting privileges, and new leadership aligned with the platform was elected. It wasn’t pretty but it was necessary.
We dig into why the GOP drifts left (deals, pressure, and perks), how a small number of bad actors taints the brand, and why a written pledge to the party platform should be the baseline for anyone seeking office. We also tackle election integrity anomalies, water rights battles and their tie-ins to international frameworks, and the growing tension between populist conservatives and a “billionaires’ club” that wants the brand without the burden of principle.
If we want statesmen again, we have to reward fidelity and retire the RINOs.
 

THE ESSENCE OF THE HUMAN SOUL

In this thought-provoking episode of Connecting the Dots, host Dan Happel welcomes Franklin Shook aka Elias Alias, for a profound discussion on The Essence of the Human Soul. Together they explore how mankind’s greatest war is not political but spiritual. A war to preserve the soul in an age that denies God.
From reincarnation and faith to the power of thought and discernment, Dan and Elias trace how humanity lost its way and how we can restore divine connection through love, awareness, and moral courage. This episode challenges the listener to awaken from distraction, reject fear, and remember who we truly are — eternal beings created in God’s image.
The Soul Is the Essence of Humanity. The destruction of mankind begins with the severing of our connection to God. The soul is eternal, while our physical existence is temporary and meant for spiritual growth and discernment.
Faith as a Living Energy. Faith is not merely belief; it is an energetic force that influences both mind and body, shaping the endocrine system and spiritual vitality.
Two Thought Systems. Humanity is constantly choosing between fear’s thought system (envy, greed, hate) and love’s thought system (compassion, faith, creation). Each thought feeds one of two spiritual vortexes, one of darkness, one of light.
Reincarnation & Divine Learning. Life is a classroom for the soul. Through reincarnation and experience, we learn the lessons of creation, responsibility, and redemption.
The Modern Disconnect. Materialism, comfort, and digital distraction have led society away from self-reflection and spiritual purpose. Entertainment and technology have replaced genuine introspection and divine relationship.
Heaven as Perfect Knowledge. Heaven is understood as the moment when the soul, released from the body, is reunited with divine truth and sees all things clearly in God’s light.
The Power of Awareness. Spiritual awakening starts by reclaiming the authority to accept or reject thoughts. Consciousness itself is a divine act of free will and moral discernment.
Spiritual Warfare Is Psychological. The battle for souls is not just moral but mental, fought through manipulation of thought, language, and perception, the very “programming” of the mind.
Faith Counters Technocracy. Artificial intelligence and centralized global control are modern idols of human hubris. Reconnection with spirit is the antidote to this mechanized enslavement.
The Distraction Agenda. Bread-and-circuses entertainment, media narratives, and political drama exist to occupy the human mind and separate it from divine consciousness.
Collectivism Destroys Individual Soul Work. The global push for collectivism denies individuality, which is central to spiritual accountability and free will.
Aging as a Spiritual Gift. The wisdom of age is not loss but refinement; the slowing of physical life allows time for soul-level understanding and gratitude.

The Cancer Within | How the CIA’s Hidden Experiments Corrupted America from Within

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel exposes “The Cancer Within”. How the U.S. intelligence community, born under the banner of national security, evolved into an unaccountable power structure manipulating our media, medicine, and even our minds.
From MK Ultra and psychological warfare to modern AI-driven surveillance and social control, we uncover how the same institutions sworn to protect freedom have turned their weapons inward, targeting citizens, families, and truth itself.
Joining Dan are two courageous whistleblowers and freedom advocates:
Dr. Rima E. Laibow, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation, fighting for medical freedom and against global technocratic tyranny.
Dr. Juliette M. Engel, author of SPARKY: Surviving Sex Magick, a survivor of the CIA’s Monarch mind control program and founder of Angels Over America, rescuing victims of child trafficking and ritual abuse.
Together they reveal the dark legacy of covert government programs and the spiritual, moral, and cultural corruption that continues to metastasize through our institutions today.https://danhappel.com

THE TRUMP TRUTH SERUM

In this powerful episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel sits down with Montana rancher and policy analyst Nathan Descheemaeker to break down Donald Trump’s recent speech at the United Nations. A speech that shook the globalists to their core.
Together, they connect Trump’s bold defense of sovereignty and free enterprise to the growing dangers of climate tyranny, technocratic control, and the administrative state. From Montana’s land and resource battles to AI-driven feudalism, this discussion exposes how unelected bureaucrats, NGOs, and corporate elites are quietly dismantling self-government in the name of “sustainability.”
In This Episode:
Why Trump’s UN address was a direct challenge to globalism
The climate agenda as a tool for centralized control
How state and federal agencies are surrendering sovereignty through grants and “green” programs
The rise of technocratic feudalism through AI and digital currency
Restoring freedom through biblical stewardship, personal responsibility, and local self-governance
This is the Trump Truth Serum... seeing through the global illusions and remembering that real sustainability comes from moral courage, faith, and the liberty to govern ourselves.
Guest: Nathan Descheemaeker – Senior Research Associate, rancher, and policy analyst from central MontanaHost: Dan Happelhttps://danhappel.com/
Lessons Beneath the Surface of The Trump Truth Serum
1. Freedom dies quietly through dependency.
When Nathan describes Montana’s agencies taking federal “climate grants,” he’s showing how even conservative states are being bought into compliance.➡️ Lesson: Tyranny doesn’t always come with soldiers or mandates — it comes with money. Once you accept the grant, you’ve accepted the leash.
2. The administrative state is the new monarchy.
Dan and Nathan both frame unelected bureaucrats, NGOs, and the UN as modern versions of feudal lords — ruling not by consent but by policy and regulation.➡️ Lesson: Bureaucracy is how totalitarianism hides inside democracy. It’s the crown that never leaves the throne, no matter who’s elected.
3. AI is not just technology — it’s theology.
When they discuss AI as an “all-seeing eye,” they’re not just critiquing tech; they’re identifying a spiritual counterfeit to God’s omniscience.➡️ Lesson: Humanity is trying to recreate God’s attributes — omniscience, omnipresence, control — through machines. That’s not progress; it’s idolatry.
4. Climate alarmism is the new religion of control.
Nathan’s breakdown of carbon policy, centralization, and false science points to a larger revelation: the “green” movement is a moral replacement for faith, offering salvation through compliance.➡️ Lesson: The new sin is carbon; the new salvation is submission. The climate agenda isn’t about saving the earth — it’s about owning it.
5. Faith is the firewall against technocracy.
Dan and Nathan repeatedly return to Scripture — Locke, covenant law, and biblical stewardship — not as decoration, but as armor.➡️ Lesson: Without a moral foundation, liberty becomes an empty slogan. Faith gives freedom meaning — and boundaries.
6. Self-governance starts with self-discipline.
Natan’s emphasis on stewardship and responsibility reveals something critical: the moral collapse that allows tyranny begins at home.➡️ Lesson: If you can’t govern your household, you can’t govern a republic. Freedom demands maturity, not comfort.
7. The global system fears moral people more than armed people.
Dan and Nathan’s repeated focus on virtue, courage, and local action implies that the greatest threat to global control isn’t violence — it’s obedience to truth.➡️ Lesson: A moral, principled citizen who cannot be bribed, bought, or bullied is the ultimate revolutionary.
8. We’re entering the Fourth Turning — a spiritual realignment.
Dan’s closing reference to The Fourth Turning reveals that he views this era not as random chaos, but as a divine cycle — a cleansing storm.➡️ Lesson: The “truth serum” is realizing that every collapse precedes renewal. This is not just political; it’s prophetic.

How Good Plans Go Bad: The LODE Project

In this candid episode, Dan Happel delivers a heartfelt account of his personal experience with the now-defunct LODE crypto project, an initiative that promised to revolutionize currency by creating a gold and silver-backed digital token system.
Joined by guest David Morgan, who initially introduced him to the concept, Dan explores the catastrophic breakdown of what seemed like a solid alternative to fiat currency. While the technology and concept held promise, poor execution, mismanagement, and a lack of integrity among organizers turned it into a cautionary tale of how even great ideas can collapse.
Together, they delve into:
The dangers of fiat currency and the urgency for alternatives.
The true function of gold in a manipulated market.
The over-leveraged financial system and looming collapse.
How central banks are moving into gold while misleading the public.
And the philosophical, moral, and spiritual lessons learned when trust is broken.
Great ideas fail when placed in the wrong hands: The LODE project, despite its innovative concept of gold-backed crypto, faltered due to mismanagement and questionable integrity.
Sound money requires sound people: Technology alone cannot solve monetary corruption without a foundation of ethics and transparency.
Central banks are quietly accumulating gold: Even while pushing digital fiat, central banks have been hedging with physical gold. What does that tell us?
The entire system is running on borrowed time: The derivatives market has ballooned from $600 trillion to over $2 quadrillion, creating a ticking time bomb.
David Morgan warns of a global currency crisis: Gold's current behavior suggests global financial instability is already here and it's only intensifying.

THE SYSTEM BEHIND THE SYSTEM

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, guest host Mark Sutherland sits down with whistleblower Billy of Toll & Roll to expose a hidden empire operating beneath the surface of law and government. An invisible network quietly enslaving free people through fraudulent guardianships, forged records, and digital deception.
It’s not the judges, politicians, or bankers you see that hold the real power.It’s the digital and legal machinery behind them. The software, statutes, and data systems that have transformed citizens into monetized assets.
What if the same systems claiming to protect you were quietly selling your freedom for profit?
Judicial and guardianship corruption: Probate courts and guardianship systems are being used for asset stripping, often enabled through fraudulent documentation and lack of oversight.
What if the courts, hospitals, and data networks were connected in a way that converts human life into a line item on a balance sheet, and you never gave consent?
From the Patriot Act to the latest AI-driven bureaucracy, a technocratic syndicate now tracks, trades, and controls Americans through data streams and contracts hidden inside “public safety” programs.
Identities are cloned. Property is seized. Families are torn apart, all justified by risk management and national security.
This episode rips the veil off that machinery, revealing how probate fraud, guardianship abuse, and child trafficking feed a global ecosystem of data monetization and government-backed profit.
It’s the system behind the system. The architecture of control that thrives in the shadows of law.
TOLL & ROLL initiative: Billy and Matt’s organization developed a software-based legislative remedy now presented to Congress (supported by Rep. Clay Higgins and 26 offices) to audit corrupt systems, compensate victims, and criminalize forged legal documents.
Then, in the second hour, visionary technologist Greg Chew, founder of Gaja Maru and QPQ, joins the program from Switzerland with a bold message of restoration:When guided by truth and moral integrity, blockchain can dismantle centralized control and return ownership of money, data, and assets to the individual.
Chew exposes how global elites and Marxist collectivists manipulate finance and technology to enslave nations and how decentralization, rooted in virtue, can break the chains of dependency.
Blockchain, if decoupled from speculative crypto, can return control of data, identity, and value to individuals.
“for the people, by the people.”
 

THE HIGH COST OF WEAK LEADERSHIP

In this hard-hitting Connecting the Dots episode, guest host Mark Sutherland is joined by Jonathan and Mike Sheer to issue a British warning to the Western world, a sobering look at how the collapse of true leadership is accelerating our cultural and moral decline.
Guests:
JonathanA British writer and academic based in the Lake District, Jonathan specializes in Latin American Studies, international business, and history. A retired senior lecturer from the University of Salford, Manchester, he has authored numerous works including Brexit: KBO (2018) and a forthcoming geopolitical analysis of Russia, the USSR, and their shifting relations with neighboring nations.
Mike SheerA former career soldier and British military spokesman, Mike Sheer brings decades of firsthand experience in defense strategy, communications, and leadership under fire. Now a respected geopolitical defense commentator, he frequently appears on major UK media outlets offering grounded, uncompromising analysis of global security and Western defense readiness.
Guest Host:Mark Sutherland is a British filmmaker, producer, and political commentator known for connecting the cultural, moral, and political dots across the UK, Europe, and America. His films and broadcasts challenge mainstream narratives and call for a return to moral courage, truth, and faith as the foundation of a free society.
They expose how:
Political and military leaders have lost courage, conviction, and accountability, trading truth for comfort and globalist approval.
Moral relativism and global ideology have replaced duty, faith, and national sovereignty, leaving citizens leaderless and nations adrift.
Weak men in powerful positions have invited chaos, eroding trust, readiness, and the very foundations of freedom.
From the halls of Westminster to the front lines of failed policy, the discussion reveals how the West’s greatest threat isn’t foreign invasion, it’s the vacuum of moral and spiritual leadership within.
Mark Sutherland, Jonathan, and Mike Sheer connect the dots between weak leadership, propaganda, and the deliberate dismantling of Western courage and issue a call for strength rooted in truth, faith, and accountability before it’s too late.
The West’s Leadership VacuumThe moral backbone and strategic strength that once defined Western civilization have eroded. Political leaders now serve global systems and personal interests rather than the people they represent.
Globalism’s Hidden AgendaUnder the guise of cooperation, sustainability, and humanitarianism, Western nations are being drawn into a managed decline — a system of technocratic control that weakens sovereignty and self-determination.
Moral Relativism as a WeaponThe moral confusion seen in education, media, and government isn’t accidental — it’s engineered to dissolve absolute truth and replace it with compliance and emotional manipulation.
Spiritual Warfare Beneath the PoliticsThe panel stresses that today’s global crises are ultimately spiritual, not just political. Evil flourishes when truth and faith are abandoned; reclaiming both is the first step toward national renewal.
The Military MirrorAs Mike Sheer explains, military unpreparedness and loss of discipline reflect a deeper societal rot — a generation of leaders more concerned with ideology and optics than defense and readiness.
The Role of PropagandaInformation warfare now shapes perception more effectively than traditional conflict. Censorship, narrative engineering, and fear-based messaging are the modern battlefield tools of control.
The Cost of ApathyBoth guests warn that the erosion of liberty continues not because of the strength of tyrants, but because of the silence of citizens. Western collapse is self-inflicted through indifference.
Reclaiming Moral CourageThe solution begins with individuals rediscovering conviction — speaking truth, defending faith, and holding leaders accountable. Real leadership starts at the local level, not in global institutions.
Faith as the AnchorAcross the discussion, all three voices return to one foundation: without moral clarity rooted in faith, even the most powerful nations lose their purpose and direction.
