Geopolitics & Empire

Dutch journalist and podcaster Rico Brouwer discusses the fallout of COVID-19 and his successful legal battle against the Dutch state to protect the rights of independent journalists to film court cases, framing it as a victory against government overreach. He talks EU, WW3, and also comments on the Great Reset project to strip us of our assets, citing examples in Holland of unrealized capital gains proposals. Given his background in IT, he touches on the loss of individual agency in a cloud-based digital economy. Finally, he pays tribute to the late John C. Dvorak, reflecting on the changing landscape of independent media and the proliferation of influence operations within the podcasting space.

About Rico Brouwer

Potkaars is citizen journalism via podcast with a candle in a jar, a guitar, a webcam (for those who want an image) and integrally recorded conversations with guests and a positive story. They are made by Rico Brouwer from Almere. Usually in my studio at home, sometimes on location such as at a demonstration. Since the 2008 financial crisis, I’ve been trying to read and listen to podcasts a lot to find out and understand what’s going on around me in the world you don’t hear about on TV. The podcast has existed since December 20, 2018 with a broadcast every week about activism, (geo) politics and what is current. “Potkaars – talk to everyone” who does things, activists and specialists who provide interpretation. People who give me hope. Potkaars is the report of my search.

After my training as a Social Pedagogical Counselor I worked in ICT at ao. Tridion, ING, the Academic Computing Center Amsterdam and as a teacher at Global Knowledge.

The crisis in 2008 changed my view of the world and it brought me back to school. In 2014 I became an activist. The reason was when – after Edward Snowden – Bolivian President Evo Morales’ plane was grounded in the EU on behalf of the United States because Morales joked that he might grant Snowden asylum and take him with him from Moscow.

“If the power in the Netherlands lies in The Hague, then perhaps the way to make things better is through politics? ” I would try and so I became a politician in the 2017 House of Representatives elections: candidate # 3 and campaign leader for the Pirate Party. After those elections, I continued as an activist with “Real Fairytales”. In music these are the reverse of fake news: the difficult themes in fun songs.

In 2018 I became a journalist. Now I do interviews with specialists on all subjects from all over the world. What my guests share is a message of hope.

I am writing a book about and with whistleblowers and live with my wife, our two children and the dog Sachi – in the Verzetwijk of Almere.

Debi Evans shares her journey into alternative media and describes how the 2020 health crisis served as a data harvesting exercise and “warm-up act” for a broader globalist agenda. The discussion examines the UK’s role as a laboratory for life sciences, where the population is subjected to experimental medical treatments and surveillance. These agendas (e.g. Absolute Zero, Agenda 2030) are designed to restrict human movement and enforce algorithmic tyranny. Furthermore, Debi explores the rise of transhumanism, warning that the integration of AI into daily life may lead to the eventual extinction of human autonomy. Ultimately, the conversation portrays a dystopian future where manufactured crises in health, energy, and water are used to usher in a new world order.

Etienne de la Boétie² discusses how the newly revealed Dialog society, which has been around since 2006, likely is the next version of Bilderberg and Trilateral Commission. He argues that these groups together with government represent an illegitimate system of organized crime designed to steal wealth through weaponized inflation and the banking system’s ability to create money from nothing. The conversation highlights figures like Peter Thiel who bridge the gaps between intelligence agencies and high-tech surveillance firms like Palantir. They manufacture corporate and political “legends” like JD Vance. These organizations maintain power by controlling the manufactured consensus through media ownership and algorithmic censorship on social media. Ultimately, these groups use economic warfare to impoverish the middle class while consolidating resources for a techno-feudalist future.

About Etienne de la Boetie2

Etienne de la Boetie2 is the founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation, and the editor of the Art of Liberty Daily News on Substack and Five Meme Friday, which delivers hard-hitting voluntaryist memes and the best of the alternative media.  He is an internationally recognized expert and speaker on voluntaryism and government illegitimacy, criminality and corruption. His original writings and research can be found at ArtOfLiberty.org and ArtOfLiberty.Substack.com

He is the author of To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many which exposes an inter-generational psychological operation by the “government,” Hollywood, and the monopoly media to indoctrinate the population with the pseudo-religion of Statism using dozens of unethically manipulative techniques ranging from subliminal content in television programming to a hidden curriculum in the mandatory “government” schools, scouting, and police/military training.

He has also authored: “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! which breaks down how inter-generational organized crime centered around banking and central banking is robbing and controlling the population using the technique of “government” with puppet politicians and monopoly media/academia. His upcoming book: Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All! explains how REAL freedom (voluntaryism) can provide all the legitimate non-redistributive services provided by “government” without the waste, fraud, abuse, indoctrination and extortion. He was also the author and principal investigator for the monographs:  The Covid-19 Suspects and Their Ties to Eugenics and Population Control/Reduction and Solving Covid – The Covid 19, Eugenics, and Vaccine/Drug Scam Timeline.

Mikkel Thorup of Expat Money discusses the “sea change” in Latin America, where countries like Colombia and Paraguay are moving toward right-leaning pro-business policies and improved security to counter socialist failures. In contrast, the conversation expresses deep concern over the decline of and flight from Western nations like Canada and the EU, citing high taxes, government hostility, and looming military conscription as primary drivers for emigration. Thorup emphasizes the importance of a Plan B, advising individuals to secure offshore bank accounts, foreign residencies, and tangible assets to protect their freedom and wealth. Ultimately, the talk serves as a guide for navigating a world increasingly defined by technocratic surveillance and economic instability through strategic global relocation.
