I am joined again by Rick Munn, the host of Locked and Loaded on TNT radio, for a deep dive into the state of journalism and media. Rick, who began as a simple voice of reason amidst chaos, has since transitioned into a role that straddles the lines between journalism, commentary, and personal observation. Rick elaborates on the challenges of true independent journalism in a world where many are beholden to the interests of their paymasters. He discusses the role of integrity in journalism as well as what individuals can do to live in the truth and the light, and refrain from falling into traps of despair. This conversation is a reflective look at the evolution of media, the responsibility of those who report and comment on the news, and the personal philosophies that guide individuals like Rick in their endeavors to present truth and resist and increasingly tyrannical world.   Chapters: (00:00:00) - Introduction - revisiting Rick Munn and the journey since 2022 (00:03:15) - The state of journalism and the myth of independence (00:10:45) - Algorithms, social media traps, and the illusion of reach (00:18:30) - Addiction, dopamine, and social media’s effect on the human mind (00:25:55) - Technology, nostalgia, and the fading art of conversation (00:33:20) - The smartphone generation and the cost of digital comfort (00:41:40) - Immigration, sovereignty, and Ireland’s internal collapse (00:50:05) - Western decline, global lockstep, and invisible agendas (00:59:30) - Spiritual insight and the rise of the beast system (01:09:45) - Faith, prophecy, and interpreting modern events through scripture (01:19:10) - Resisting control - the path to personal sovereignty (01:25:40) - Homeschooling, parenting, and reclaiming education (01:32:25) - Sanity, stillness, and finding purpose away from screens (01:40:05) - Closing reflections - hope, discernment, and genuine freedom Guest Links Twitter: https://twitter.com/noreward_norisk TNT Radio: https://spoti.fi/3S9xoU1 Affiliate Links Surfshark: VPN / Antivirus / Incogni Fountain: https://fountain.fm/jonnyhodl?code=3a917f606b Podcast Website: http://www.stayingfreepod.com/ Links to all platforms: https://linktr.ee/stayingfreepod Host Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonnyhodl Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/stayingfreepod Donate to the Podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/stayingfreepod Donate with Bitcoin: https://tippin.me/@jonnyhodl / bc1qvgktg2uurp69cf5xepjhunwhp6skxrf69hmq82 Donate with Lightning: https://tipybit.com/stayingfreepod / ⚡️jonnyhodl@getalby.com Huge thank you to my generous supporters Pim Mark A Parallel Mike
