Connecting the Dots w/Dan Happel

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Why outdated steel-core power lines are still being installed nationwide.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.
Notable Quotes:
“I endorsed a program that may have cost my friends and listeners money. And that eats at me.” — Dan Happel
“Gold is warning us. And when this system finally breaks, you’ll be glad you own it.” — David Morgan
“The fiat system is collapsing but what will replace it? That’s the question no one’s answering honestly.” — Dan Happel
 
Guest:David Morgan is a widely recognized analyst in the precious metals industry and consults for hedge funds, high net worth investors, mining companies, depositories, and bullion dealers. He is the publisher of The Morgan Report, a world-class publication designed to build and secure wealth. He is the author of “The Silver Manifesto”, a co-author with David Smith of Second Chance, and a featured speaker at investment conferences worldwide.
His ideas were expressed in the movie Four Horsemen Film, a Feature Documentary.

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.

Inside the System: Whistleblowers Reveal the Courtroom Machinery Behind Child Trafficking

In this stunning guest-hosted episode of Connecting the Dots, British filmmaker Mark Sutherland steps in for Dan Happel to uncover the dark web of global corruption, government-sponsored child trafficking, and financial crimes hidden behind legal and corporate systems.
Mark is joined by a panel of whistleblowers and investigators who share direct evidence of international identity theft, black-market adoptions, CPS corruption, and systemic fraud involving U.S. and global agencies.
Together, they connect how global software systems, judicial collusion, and data trafficking are being used to control populations and destroy families under the guise of public service.
This episode exposes the technological and bureaucratic machinery that enables human trafficking to flourish worldwide and the brave patriots standing up to stop it...
- The weaponization of family courts and CPS against parents. - Software systems that secretly create parallel legal cases, enabling child and property theft.- Kamala Harris’s California programs and ties to data-driven trafficking infrastructure.- The international web of Crown corporations, DHS, DOJ, and private contractors profiting from child abduction.
Real-world evidence of laundering, forgery, and insurance fraud tied to the human trafficking economy.
- Global corruption thrives in the shadows of bureaucratic systems.
- Courageous local legislators and whistleblowers are our last line of defense.
- Technology and law can both enslave or liberate, depending on who controls them.
- The fight for justice starts with awareness, persistence, and community support.
The episode exposes how child protective services, court systems, and government databases are being misused to kidnap children under legal cover, then launder their identities through adoption, foster care, and trafficking pipelines, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Whistleblowers detail how case management software and “parallel legal systems” are being used to falsify records, seize children, and erase parents’ rights.
Survivors and investigators discuss the financial incentives and data networks behind CPS and family court corruption.
Mark Sutherland connects this corruption to global governance systems, central banking, and moral decay — tying it to the broader Connecting the Dots themes of technocratic control and moral warfare.
Lawmakers and constitutional advocates like Rep. J.J. Humphrey and Sheriff Richard Mack stress the need for lawful local resistance and public exposure.
This episode isn’t just about trafficking in the traditional sense, it’s about systemic trafficking, where governments, courts, and private contractors are alleged to be part of the machinery.It’s a deep-dive exposé into how global bureaucratic systems weaponize legality, technology, and custody laws to traffic human beings, particularly children.

WHEN THE NEXT SHOE DROPS

As we wonder when the next shoe will drop, we had best realize that this time the shoe might actually be a boot and it might drop right in the middle of our face, just like O'Brien described in the classic novel 1984.
The world we thought we knew has been fundamentally transforming before our eyes until it represents the exact opposite of the traditional American society based in faith, family, fairness, fundamental truths, and rule of law.
In the newspeak world of doublethink, being WOKE is the antithesis of being awake, and the new meaning of being liberal is being opposed to anything that represents common sense or the traditional values that were developed over several millenniums. To them, freedom equates to facism, and collectivism equates to freedom. This is what George Orwell called doublethink.
We must understand and resist the destructive nature of this Godless culture of self righteous do-gooders that are convinced that none of us deserve to live unless we accept their narcessitic cult of cultural Marxism that hates anyone who refuses to accept their suicidal and destructive plan for humanity.
To attempt to meet halfway with these sociopaths would result in national suicide.
There is no such thing as negotiation when dealing with Marxists. Life to them is a zero sum game where compromise is merely a negotiating tactic on the road to eventually getting their way..........100% THEIR WAY.
The next shoe is about to drop and we would be well advised to react before it does. Our children and grandchildren will shoulder a much more onerous responsibility and live in a much oppresive world should we fail. It is up to us!
 

THE FUTURE OF MONEY - Part 3

Not willing to go down easily, the Fed, the World Bank, the EU, and the IMF have been working feverishly to build digital cashless banking systems that are not only totally fiat, but will have the means to control society through an AI smart grid social credit system designed by Google for the CCP. One thing is clear. We must refuse to accept any form of Central Bank Digital Currency or government controlled Stable Coin system proposed by Central Banksters.
Any new financial system must be based on assets and not debt. Gold and silver have a nearly 5,000 year history as a practical and honest fiscal foundation for national currencies. Competition is good and financial independence requires the ability to choose between competing currencies to resist the inevitable debasement that occurs with monopoly......especially totally fiat monopoly money.

Stranger Things Exposed: The Real Montauk Project Survivor Speaks

What if the hit series Stranger Things wasn’t fiction at all, but a thinly veiled account of real CIA experiments on children? In this eye-opening episode, host Dan Happel is joined by Christian Laterreur (aka Duncan Cameron) the true Montauk survivor whose story inspired the show Stranger Things, and Dr. Juliette Engel, physician and author of SPARKY: Surviving Sex Magick.
 
What happens when the agencies created to “protect national security” become the very engines of abuse, mind control, and corruption? Together they reveal how MK Ultra, and the Monarch Project carved a dark path through America’s intelligence agencies, creating trauma-based mind control programs, trafficking networks, and a system of blackmail that still shadows our nation today.
 
Dan Happel is joined by two survivors of America’s darkest intelligence experiments:
Christian Laterreur (aka Duncan Cameron) – the real-life Montauk Boy whose story inspired Netflix’s Stranger Things. Abducted into the CIA’s Monarch Project at age six, his testimony documents MK Ultra torture, Montauk experiments, and the August 12, 1983 Camp Hero shutdown.
Dr. Juliette Engel – author of SPARKY: Surviving Sex Magick, a physician and whistleblower sold into the CIA’s Monarch program at six. She later founded the Angel Coalition in Moscow, rescuing thousands of trafficked children.
Together, they expose how Nazi science, Project Paperclip, and CIA subprojects like MK Ultra and Monarch seeded decades of black ops, human trafficking, and the global child exploitation network. Their courage shows the resilience of the human spirit and why silence is no longer an option.

NGOs, COGs, & PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel investigates the hidden power structure behind global governance, focusing on the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Councils of Governments (COGs), and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). These entities, often unelected and operating outside of constitutional checks, are reshaping local governance into regional technocratic systems that undermine American sovereignty.
Joining Dan Happel is Gregg Smith, a retired U.S. Navy veteran and former Bureau of Land Management Range Technician who witnessed firsthand how environmental NGOs and UN-driven programs like Agenda 21 infiltrate land use policy. After nearly 30 years of farming in rural Minnesota, Smith now educates citizens through SaveYourCities.com, a resource dedicated to exposing how NGOs and public-private partnerships erode property rights, self-government, and local accountability.
Listeners will discover in this episode how:
NGOs act as Trojan horses for globalist policies, channeling funding and influence into local governments.
COGs consolidate towns and counties into regional blocs, bypassing elected officials and local decision-making.
PPPs blur the line between corporations and government, creating unelected power centers that enforce sustainability agendas.
Agenda 21/2030 frameworks transform land use, energy, and resource policies into mechanisms of control.
Local communities often adopt these programs unknowingly through grants, model legislation, and “sustainability” partnerships.
Solutions exist when citizens educate themselves, organize locally, and push back against unconstitutional regionalism.
This conversation reveals how globalist strategies translate into real-world impacts on American farms, ranches, and towns and how ordinary citizens can resist by reclaiming authority at the local level.
Unelected power structures are reshaping governance.NGOs, COGs, and PPPs operate outside constitutional accountability, allowing globalist policies to bypass local voters and elected officials.
Regionalism undermines sovereignty.Councils of Governments consolidate local jurisdictions into regional blocs that weaken the authority of counties, towns, and states.
“Sustainability” is often a cover for control.Agenda 21/2030 programs use environmental narratives to justify land seizures, resource restrictions, and technocratic management.
Money drives compliance.Grants and federal funds entice local governments to adopt NGO-backed programs, even when they conflict with constitutional principles.
Ignorance enables infiltration.Many local leaders accept PPPs and COG frameworks without recognizing their long-term consequences for property rights and self-rule.
Public-private partnerships centralize power.What looks like collaboration between business and government often results in corporate monopolies aligned with government authority.
Local action is the front line of resistance.The real battle isn’t in Washington, it’s in towns, counties, and states where globalist policies are quietly being embedded.
Citizens must reclaim oversight.Without citizen engagement, unelected regional bodies will continue to erode the Constitution under the guise of “efficiency” or “sustainability.”
Exposing deception is half the battle.Many communities don’t realize they’re trading liberty for grants, partnerships, and promises.Education and awareness are critical weapons.

Reviving Moral Children’s Literature: C.R. Stewart on Britfield (with Robert Morris)

“The saying, you are what you eat, is especially true when the food being consumed is food for thought.”
On this episode of Connecting the Dots with Dan Happel, we tackle the cultural war over children’s literature. For centuries, stories have been the foundation of moral teaching—shaping courage, honesty, responsibility, and faith.
Dan and his guest expose how modern education, publishing, and entertainment have replaced timeless stories that taught courage, honesty, and faith with politically correct, agenda-driven narratives.
Dan is joined by Dr. James A. S. Patrick, author and cultural historian and Robert Morris, U.S. Army veteran and former constitutional history teacher to discuss the urgent need to revive moral storytelling for the next generation. Together they explore how fables, biblical parables, and classic literature once built strong character and how parents, educators, and independent creators can reclaim that role in today’s environment.
The question is: will our children grow up with moral clarity and faith, or confusion and indoctrination?
If the future belongs to those who tell the best stories, then restoring moral children’s literature is nothing less than an act of cultural survival.
GuestsC.R. Stewart — international award-winning, bestselling author of the 7-book Britfield series; founder of The Britfield Institute; former investment banker turned creativity educator and media entrepreneur.
His series is designed to re-ignite literacy, creativity, and character through real-world, present-day adventures—rolling out globally with films in development.
The Britfield blueprint: family, friendship, loyalty, courage, hope and “stealth education” that naturally teaches geography, history, art, and culture.
From page to screen: updates on Britfield film development and why values-driven blockbusters can beat Hollywood’s “content treadmill.”
Robert Morris — U.S. Army veteran and former constitutional history teacher. In this conversation he shares why rebuilding a culture of virtue, truth, and courage in youth storytelling is essential—and how filmmakers and authors can “assemble and anoint” the next generation.

Public schooling and pop culture are shaping worldviews 24/7. If we don’t feed young minds what is true, good, and beautiful, someone else will. This episode connects the dots and shows practical steps to revive moral children’s literature in your home, school, and community.
The Power of Storytelling: How fables, myths, and biblical stories historically shaped moral behavior.
Moral Decay in Modern Publishing: Children’s books now often promote ideology over values.
Restoring Tradition: The importance of reintroducing classics and creating new stories rooted in eternal truths.
Faith & Family: Reclaiming parents’ role as the first storytellers and protectors of moral imagination.
Education’s Role: How schools shifted from teaching virtue to enforcing compliance with collectivist ideology.
Core Lessons
Stories shape destiny, nations rise or fall depending on the values taught to their children.
Modern children’s literature often undermines morality by replacing universal truths with transient political narratives.
Parents and communities must reassert their role in curating what children read, hear, and watch.
Cultural battles begin early, control of children’s literature is a strategic tool for shaping future citizens.
Reject passive consumption, families should intentionally select or create stories aligned with their values.
Entertainment is never neutral, every story plants seeds of either virtue or vice.
The attack on children’s literature is part of a larger globalist agenda to undermine Western faith and family structures.
Reviving moral literature is not nostalgia, it’s a counter-revolutionary act of cultural survival.
Independent creators and small publishers may become the new guardians of truth as corporate media grows more hostile.

THE FUTURE OF MONEY - Part 2

Fewer than one in a thousand Americans truly understand how our financial system works or who’s pulling the strings. And that ignorance comes at a price.
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the Central Banking cartel, the unaccountable power of the Federal Reserve, and the $2 quadrillion derivatives monster that’s about to devour the last vestiges of fiscal sanity. From the criminal bailouts of 2008 to the manufactured crises of today, the dots all connect if you’re willing to look.
This is about more than inflation. It’s about engineered collapse, political cover for perpetual war, and the systematic destruction of national sovereignty through fiat fraud. Sound money isn’t a pipe dream, it’s the solution. But it won’t come from digital tokens, CBDCs, or blockchain illusions built on the same corrupt foundations.
The system isn’t just broken, it was structured from the start to centralize control, conceal risk, and prioritize institutional survival over public accountability.
