Connecting the Dots w/Dan Happel

Monday Dec 29, 2025
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?

PAINFUL TRUTH & THE POWER OF DISCERNMENT

Wednesday Jul 30, 2025
https://danhappel.com/seek-truth-hold-traitors-accountable/Americans must become seekers of truth and be willing to punish those accountable for treasonous acts.The Weaponization of Justice, the War on Parents, and the Globalist EndgameGuests: Trent Leisy & Dr. Henry MakowAs America teeters on the edge of constitutional collapse, this episode of Connecting the Dots exposes the full scope of lawfare, deception, and spiritual subversion being waged by globalist elites against the American people.
Trent Leisy, COO of the American Rights Alliance, joins to lay bare the weaponization of the legal system against patriots, parents, whistleblowers, and truth-tellers. From the unjust targeting of Tina Peters and James O’Keefe to the heartbreaking case of Shana Gabriel, who was criminally charged for protecting her own child from radical gender ideology, Americans are witnessing a blatant assault on natural rights and due process.
In the second half, Dr. Henry Makow, historian and author of the Illuminati book series, exposes the deeply embedded networks of power—Zionism, Freemasonry, and technocratic globalism—that are dismantling Western civilization from within. He traces a coordinated campaign to erase God, destroy the family, and enslave humanity through endless wars, propaganda, and engineered crises.
The global elites do not fear elections, they fear an informed and morally grounded citizenry. The hour is late, and silence is complicity.
Key Topics:
Lawfare and political persecution in the United States
Parental rights vs. state-driven gender ideology
Election integrity and the persecution of whistleblowers
The spiritual roots of the globalist agenda
Controlled opposition, QAnon, and the danger of passive patriotism
Zionism, Chabad influence, and the war against national sovereignty
The moral and constitutional imperative of citizen action
Books:
Illuminati: The Cult that Hijacked the World – by Dr. Henry Makow
A foundational book that claims to expose the hidden hand of Freemasonry, Zionism, and secret societies behind global control mechanisms.
Illuminati Volume II: Deceit and Seduction – by Dr. Henry Makow
Follow-up to the first volume, expanding on globalist tactics and psychological manipulation.
Satanic Protocols of Zion: Updated & Annotated Version – Referenced but not clearly titled
Makow refers to an updated version of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, claiming it outlines current strategies of elite domination. (Controversial and often criticized; Makow presents it as predictive literature.)

ARE WE A NATION IN NAME ONLY?
Monday Oct 14, 2024
Monday Oct 14, 2024
https://danhappel.com/are-we-a-nation-in-name-only/America is currently in free-fall, but we can save her with resolve and the clear understanding that we have no time to waste. We must be willing to sacrifice and risk our: lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in defense of the republic our forebears created with blood, sweat and tears.
It's not a question of whether we have lost American national sovereignty, It's a matter of whether we can win it back.
The fact that America has been increasingly controlled by globalists and technocrats for the past 100+ years is no longer a question for debate amongst pragmatic political historians.
Frankly, the only reason that we have survived as a nation-state for as long as we have, is the ongoing fear of being lynched or shot for treason for colluding with other globalists that have done everything in their power to circumvent or destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
That fear of exposure has kept our professional political class from openly embracing collectivism until all the pieces were in place to “fundamentally transform” our culture from free markets and capitalism to a full embrace of Marxism.

(S)ELECTION SEASON 2024
Wednesday Sep 04, 2024
Wednesday Sep 04, 2024
https://danhappel.com/selection-season-2024/Do Americans realize that our (s)election process is fatally flawed because a majority of our national leaders are committed globalists that see our Constitution and national sovereignty as a impediment to their vision of a world government based on Marxist/socialist ideals and managed by International Banksters, corporate fascists, political insiders, environmental NGOs, and globalist technocrats?
America is losing our national sovereignty to the forces of globalism through political opportunism and a loss of open, honest and fair elections.
Although the election process has been touted as sacred in the United States since our founding, there is overwhelming evidence that the entire process has been compromised for at least the past 25 – 30 years thru a combination of: computer & electronic tally fraud, organized vote harvesting, voter registration of non-citizens, identity theft to enhance illegal votes, intentional miscounts and widespread coverups.

INSTITUTIONAL CENSORSHIP
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
https://danhappel.com/the-puppet-masters/America is being “fundamentally transformed” from a sovereign nation functioning as a constitutional republic to just another progressive Marxist cog on the wheel of Globalism.
The Puppet Masters learned long ago that the best way to control public perception is through capture of our most trusted institutions; thereby installing a hierarchy of leaders willing to conform to perverse ideologies in exchange for money and power.
Once those leaders are in place, controlling public opinion through manipulation/censorship becomes "easy peasy".
This malignant formula to gain control of society has worked almost flawlessly since the beginning of time.

Make no mistake about it, the global elite have every intention of following through with their lofty goal of forcing humanity to dance to their radical socialist agenda of unchallenged authority.
They plan to micro-manage every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave.

LIVING THE TRUMAN SHOW with Dr. Lee Merritt - Part 2
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
https://danhappel.com/the-truman-show-with-dr-lee-merritt-2/Is our world just an elaborate illusion? Dr. Lee Merritt joins us to explore how modern society increasingly resembles the simulated reality of The Matrix films.
This podcast is a continuation of a November 7, 2023 program we did with Dr. Lee Merritt where we did a parody on the movie The Truman Show and how it sometimes it feels like we are living on a movie set where everything is a mirror image of reality and upside down.
Can we escape this inverted world where good is called evil and lies masquerade as truth?
America has been living The Truman Show for decades as culture, economy, and morality collapses around us. Wakeup America!

https://danhappel.com/deep-state-influencers-inside-the-beltway/Guest: Todd McKinley ~ Understanding the political movements behind the march to globalism is essential to understanding anti-Trump hatred.
Todd McKinley grew up in an America that still believed in itself and American exceptionalism; at least that is what he and his family thought they believed.
Like so many of us, they didn't realize just how deeply embedded and determined the enemies of America were, but a career as a professional soldier in Iraq/Afghanistan, with a stint as a military liaison inside the Obama/Biden White House, and then working as a Staff Associate/and Re-Election Staff Leader inside the Trump White House opened Todd's eyes to the overwhelming audacity of the Deep State influencers inside the beltway.

DESTROYING WESTERN CIVILIZATION
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
https://danhappel.com/forces-of-globalism-marxism-and-crony-capitalism/The traitors in our midst must be exposed and we must insist that our elected representatives honor their oath of office and stand in defense of our republic. There is no reasonable option; we either stand and fight for our freedom now, or we slink meekly to our eventual subjugation.
In the UK and around the world, politically astute observers are looking to America as the last best hope for liberty and freedom in the civilized world. They are praying that Americans will awaken in time to save ourselves, then become the liberators of the rest of humanity. It is up to us to accept that responsibility.
America and most of the free market capitalist economies are under open attack by forces of globalism, Marxism and crony capitalism.
As a lifelong observer of human nature and the lack of spiritual discipline that most modern societies embrace, it is not impossible to see how easily 21st century civic institutions are manipulated and destroyed by those with enormous wealth and a desire to control others.
As one by one the iconic American institutions holding us together like glue are attacked, compromised, abandoned, and replaced by anarchy and civil disorder, we are forced to admit that many institutions we took for granted as rock solid could only have fallen from an internal rot and lack of fealty to the cause of liberty.
The true enemies of mankind are communism, Marxism, fascism, environmentalism, and globalism.

FOLLOWING THE CALIFORNIA MODEL
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
https://danhappel.com/a-blueprint-for-what-not-to-do/California is the canary in the coal mine of American economics, politics and social engineering.
China Joe Obiden and virtually the entire Democrat Party has emulated the California model as the perfect utopian blueprint for a fully socialist America. And while the establishment Republican Party has played the fool, they in fact only differ in the form of socialism they prefer.
The tipping point for California occurred during the Clinton Administration, but accelerated with the Bush & Obama push for open borders, deindustrialization, Chinese communist cooperation, and WTO/NAFTA global trade treaties.
Sustainable development became the newspeak buzzwords for communist programs instituting top down government control of all human activity. This all but destroyed the California natural resource industries and sent family farming and ranching into a death spiral.
As entrenched bureaucrats and political lap dogs became the willing tools of radical environmentalists under the cloak of sustainability, non governmental organizations (NGOs) and unelected councils of government (COGs) increasingly took larger roles in the California political process.
This made local elected leadership less involved, feckless, and consequently less accountable to the voters. A new form of corporate fascism called public/private partnerships quickly grabbed the reins of power, and although ANTIFA groups claim to be anti-fascist, they disingenuously pander to corporate sponsors as their financial backers while attacking individualism and personal responsibility.
Authoritarianism is the new springboard of Californian liberalism with individual income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, licenses and fees combining for one of the highest tax rates in the world, including many militantly socialist countries.
But maybe, just maybe, the California Model is the perfect blueprint for what we must never allow this country to follow ever again!

Who Controls Directed Energy Weapons? (Dews)
Friday Nov 17, 2023
Friday Nov 17, 2023
https://danhappel.com/dew-directed-energy-weapons/ ~ STAR WARS TECHNOLOGY - is it our greatest threat? Lazer weapons are so advanced that nothing on earth is safe should these weapons be turned against us.
Are DEWs now being used as a political weapon to advance the Agenda 21/2030 climate change narrative and force people to abandon rural settings?
These are questions that must be considered when looking at the bigger picture and connecting the dots back to: problem, reaction, solution Hegelian thinking that seems to follow current events like a slime trail.
A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a weapon system that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile including: lasers, microwaves, particle beams, plasma and sound beams.
Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target buildings, missiles, personnel, vehicles, electronics or optical devices.
Until recently there was little concern over DEWs being used against civilian targets. However, recent wildfire events in Northern California and the Maui Conflagration have left tell-tale signs of the use of directed energy weapons.
Although seldom acknowledged, 4 and 5G technology developed by the U.S. Military was originally intended as a weapon for crowd control, while electromagnetic weapons systems using microwave technology capable of frying the human brain have been fully functional for more than 50 years.
Guest: Barrie Trower - Humanity At The BrinkHe trained at the Governments Microwave Warfare establishment in 60's and worked with the Royal Navy underwater bomb disposal unit, which used microwaves to neutralize explosive weapons systems. In the 70's Trower helped de-brief Russian spies trained in microwave warfare.
His first degree is in Physics (specializing in microwaves), with a second research degree and a teaching diploma in human physiology. Dr. Trower taught advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College.
Guest: Celeste Solum – is an author, and former FEMA employee and whistleblower. Celeste has studied Synthetic Biology in great detail understands the plans for global technocracy, the end to national sovereignty and the Invisible Army that you can't see, that is part of this plan to control humanity.

THE RISE AND FALL OF EMPIRES ~ USA
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
https://danhappel.com/founding-fathers-avoiding-international-military-commitments/ Our Founding Fathers were adamant about avoiding international military commitments on behalf of foreign nations. Why did we fail to listen to them?
The word “empire” projects an image of a colossus built by military conquest that harkens back to the time of the Caesars and Alexander the Great. There have been many empires in the history of humanity.
A common thread with empire is a quest for great power and unwillingness to hold back on projecting that power once acquired.
We were to prosper as a nation of free men unchained from foreign entanglements, and what the founders feared most; unbacked fiat money controlled by private Central Bankers.
Guest: Brad Miller – is a West Point graduate and former lieutenant colonel in the United States Army. He served as a battalion commander at the time the Dept of Defense covid-19 vaccine mandate went into effect.
He was relieved of command for refusing to comply with the mandate. He subsequently resigned from the Army with just over 19 years of active service.
Brad is an outspoken voice for truth and freedom and encourages others to join the cause for liberty and is happy to discuss the current state of the military in terms of readiness. Brad will discuss the aftermath of the vaccine mandate and the “moral injury” as well as physical injuries that have resulted.
He will also talk about what he thinks in terms of military preparation for the conflict in the Middle East currently heating up and will discuss the intangibles such as the low state of morale across the force.
Guest: Major General Joe Arbuckle (ret) ~ MG Arbuckle entered the Army as a private in 1969. Following basic training ,went through advanced individual training and Officer Candidate School as a combat engineer. He deployed to Viet Nam as an infantry 1st lieutenant, serving as an infantry advisor Team 22 with the South Vietnamese Army.
Thereafter, he attended ordnance missile system training and spent most of his career in the missile field. During his last 10 years on duty he served as an Army strategist full or part-time, focusing on national level strategy and logistics at the highest levels.
Gen Arbuckle commanded units in CONUS and overseas at every rank from Lieutenant to Major General (first command in Vietnam). He stayed in the Army 32 years because he liked the challenges, excitement, variety of jobs, high levels of responsibility and most of all- his time spent with soldiers.

Using fear and intimidation through their controlled press, a false reality has been supplanted into the American psyche that turns friends into enemies, brother against brother, races, sexes and religions into mortal enemies, and nation against nation; all trying to destroy one another at the behest of the most diabolical propaganda campaign in human history.
America and the world are being drawn into a war that could devastate humanity and create permanent chaos. For what purpose?

IS "DEMOCRACY" ABOUT STEALING ELECTIONS? The past thirty years have witnessed radical changes in our political process and the "fundamental transformation" of America.
Several months after blowing the whistle the FBI retaliated by violating his civil rights through unconstitutional surveillance and then raided his home, confiscating his personal property, victimizing his family through intimidation and a vicious smear campaign.
Guest: Nate Cain. Nate is willing to again risk it all to run for Congress in what is sure to be a difficult campaign against the West Virginia political establishment. Other than a city council seat in a very small township in Pennsylvania, Nate is an outsider to political office, currently has no establishment machine or major donors behind him, does not come from a politically connected family, and has never worked as part of the DC Swamp. Nate is an underdog candidate and is willing to throw punches against the Goliaths of government, which is just the way Mountaineers like their fighters.
In Nate's career as cybersecurity expert of 26 years , he has worked for the Army, Navy, Marines, Defense Information Systems Agency, National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, receiving medals and service commendations in several positions. Nate has taken the oath three times, once as a soldier and twice as a Department of Defense civilian. He has held and still holds a Top Secret security clearance for 25 of those years, having been entrusted with protection and security of the Nation and its secrets.https://danhappel.com/nate-cain-for-congress/

The footage is raw. And it's real. The only problem with that is it tells a story and that's not the same story that the media and the government has told people for two years.
Look how mad they are. They just witnessed murders. They just witnessed beat downs. They just got grenade attacked. They just got shot with rubber bullets or gassed for nothing or got their heads split open. And this is the thing that people need to see, is what made these people angry.
