theunderKurrent S01E01

Everyone, welcome to the undercurrent podcasts. I'm your host, Zach. So basically, this is going to be the first podcast of the series where a little bit less than 60 days out. Pardon me, from the midterm election. And the thing that should be sitting first and foremost, at the front of every American's mind right now, is the results of this upcoming 2026 midterms is going to spell either the future of democracy or the end of democracy, depending on how you look at it. We are at a time in history, never before, on entirely unprecedented, that we have a president basically is sailing our election freedoms and our election rights, taking away the freedoms and autonomy each individual state is afforded per the constitution. And to try to convince us that we're just not sure about what comes to election results. We can't be confident in the results of elections. Now, the specific type of undermining should come of no surprise to any Americans that have remained privy and up to date with politics to understand what this achieves and just how far this stems back. Now, for Trump, pretty much, you know, even before he was president the first time, he was spreading these lies about there being mass fraud associated in elections. And I always thought this was really interesting because when he won in 2016, he continued to parent the same lies. He said, you know, this last election has had, there's never been any more fraud than there is fraud now in our elections. And what's even more interesting is in July here, you know, when he gave a public speech, then addressed to the nation on the 16th of July of 2026, he was talking about how the 2016 midterms also had fraud. Now, what's interesting about it, though, is he will want to blame this on China, he will want to blame this on any other country, aside from Russia. Why is that? Why is that? Listen, I don't know, but this is a man that claims that he has no connections to Russia. He's had two Russian wives. He spent the 1980s engaging in beauty pageants abroad, which, of course, we've already known, as some very unsavory things that he engaged in when it comes to, you know, could be perceived as, you know, sexual abuse of women, et cetera, with being the owner of this pageant. But that's not either here nor there. What I'm basically just trying to say is that it really, to me, for my own opinion, feels like he's really trying to do Putin's dirty work here in America. I can only imagine Putin's having a heyday looking at how much America has gotten screwed up at the cost of the Trump regime in Trump's actions, let alone, by the way, why are we not talking about this? Trump supposedly claimed in 2024, he knew, I know nothing of tragic 2020 in fact. Yes, motherfucker. You do know what's going on with Project 2025. You implemented every policy out of Project 2025. Even one ought to say that, you know, I don't know much about it, but there are several things I don't agree with and some things I do. No, dude, you implemented the Project 2025 playbook. The head of OMB, or us vote, you installed as a loyalist into your cabinet. And also think it should be illegal when cabinet members are questioned and then they, you know, in turn, through their actions, show that they are aligned, that they lied to Congress. That should be a punishable offense, as much as a smear campaign against people should also be a punishable offense. Because when it's not least my belief that in this country, we should be holding politicians and those that serve us to much, much, much, much higher standard than outside of that block, right? I've argued for years, freedom of speech should not be something that's afforded to politicians in the same way. And the reason why I say that is, if you have a public figure that is yelling essentially bomb on a plane, essentially, it continues doing so. And that results in people getting hurt, et cetera, there's actual consequences to that. And I'm sorry, my friend, that's not freedom of speech. You didn't earn that freedom of speech to abuse it. Like I said, we're in unprecedented times here. I don't want to go into all of it during this first episode. I want to, you know, talk about why the elections are important, and then talk a little bit about the undercurrent platform, just so you're aware of what it is. And hopefully this will garner more interest from the public, because on the main platforms, unfortunately, I can't get the word out there about the undercurrent. Any time I post about it, my post gets deleted. Of course, they're owned by the big tech pros, I'm not saying I know that for sure, but that being the reason why my post are going missing, I do think it has a large part to do with the status quo of the system. Okay, so first off, I'd be remiss to not say that Trump is every which way possible called our country, a shithole country. And that our systems are so broken that we just must simply just throw them to the wayside. You know, throw them out throughout the baby with a bath water, so to speak, because we just don't know. And as you're aware, during Trump's first term, essentially what he engaged in was undermining election, however, way possible. But back then there were guardrails, right? We still had some non-loyalists in positions of power that he could not get out. And that's the reason why we got to keep our democracy on January 6th of 2021. We're not afforded nearly the same privilege now, unfortunately. And I wouldn't put it past Trump to call a national emergency, or one of the reasons why he's keeping this Iran war conflict going as long as he has been keeping it going, because he needs some reason, right? But I will want to mention right quick, I'm not sure if he heard about the Maduro thing. He was trying to get Maduro, you know, after he invaded Venezuela and illegally captured, you know, a sovereign states leader. And then held him to the state to the standard of our loss in our land. He tried to get blackmailing him, blackmailing him into admitting to basically interfering in our election schemes, like in our election system through his various schemes. And of course, that didn't happen, and Maduro refused it to do that to admit to something he didn't do. But that was one of the gambes that Trump was trying to engage in. We know in 2021, in a following the events of January 6th, he called up Braffinsberger and asked for him to find the exact amount of votes plus one to get Trump net win. He also blackmailed Vladimir Zelinski to say that he had found dirt on Hunter Biden to try to trash as an opponent in the hopes that would win him in election. And that let's not forget the 63 out of 64 failed attempts of lawsuits against individual states to individual recounts and what am I also missing. I mean, that's mostly everything. I feel like there's a few other things, but, and again, in 2021, you know, with what he had to say, but rewinding a bit, you know, so, you know, just recently he was talking about how China interfered with our elections in 2016. But not Russia. That's interesting. And then in addition, in 20, let's see, so I'm trying to remember what this was. I guess it was closer to the 2020 election when Trump installed Louis de Joy to undermine our mail in systems. Now, for long time in the 2020 with the pandemic happening and he was saying that we just can't trust mail in voting. That's right with fraud, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he was talking down, talking down, talking down and talking down. And what was interesting is he eventually had to go back and actually encourage your voters to do mail in voting because he was probably being told by allies. That's really stupid right now. There's COVID. People are not going to want to get sick from COVID. So he kind of, you know, finally had given into that. But the qualifiers, what's interesting is, you know, he talks about, you know, what the left would engage in in terms of illegal acts against our democracy and about, you know, voting, which none of its true. But what's interesting is he's talked about how people vote twice, even encouraged his own people to vote twice. Trump, guess what he did in the 2020 elections, shouldn't be a surprise. I guess it was at 2020, 2021. I can't remember this point. I guess it would be 2020 since it was 2021 during the inauguration. But he voted from home from one of his properties outside the state and then voted in person as well. So he actually committed a felony. The very man that's saying that people engage in this just recognize, you know, it's all, it's all Darvel. Whatever he accuses others of, he is guilty of himself. What else? I mean, so I don't have the list right in front of me. And like I said, it's not really the purpose of this one, but we will be going in over time over the next 60 days. I'll be trying to put out regular podcasts. So, you know, I encourage you to listen in and I don't want to bore you too much with the details, you know, on the first episode, but just to kind of welcome you to the community. Now, let me talk about a little bit about the undercurrent.com. So that's THE, UNDR, KU, R-R-E-N-T.com and what it is and what it isn't. So the undercurrent.com I built because there's no platform that the left, that anyone but the right has constructed to connect with the people and our voices. In addition to serving as a newsseave site platform to basically sort through the flooding the zone with shit as Bannon would say, that are in all the minutia and the 24-7 news cycle that's purely uncurated nowadays, right? Let alone the Trump is succeeded after nearly a decade, mitigating his way of creating what is now known as the fake news media. We can agree now that the legacy media is the fake news media. Now at the same time, all independent media voices don't have anybody connecting them to one another, right? They're all independently doing their own thing. So the undercurrent serves, like I said, first is that newsseave platform. Second is a community. Third, it has an independent media directory where basically we get all of the independent media voices from YouTube and link up to them and create basically a syndicate feed. So you can actually just visit that page to see all the latest news from all the latest creators. Now the other thing about the undercurrent that you need to be aware is it's independent means not owned by corporate independent crowdsourced human powered and curated media platform. Now what does that mean? In this 24-7 news cycle that's filled with endless minutia, it's up to the individual to sort through the chaos. And unfortunately, we as humans only have so much bandwidth to be able to sort through all this stuff without feeling overwhelmed, am I right? So the idea is working out the wisdom of crowds if you've ever heard of that before, basically we're soft the principle of, and I'm sure you remember this when you are a kid. In a public space, they might have a jar full of jelly bellies, right? And they'd say, I guess the number of jelly bellies in the jar. And I'm not sure if you know this, but if you have a large enough sample size. The overestimates, combined with the underestimates, become exceedingly close to it, guessing the number exactly. Now I understand we live in unprecedented times in the current day that doesn't necessarily afford us necessarily, you know, people just overestimating, underestimating from a point of honesty here, because we treat authenticity, vulnerability, dignity, and the truth is this trivial thing, or as a thing that the American people in the public should be allergic to, but it's, but we're not, and it's not. It actually matters all the more now than ever, because what happens during this midterms cycle and how we the people choose to react to, for instance, Trump not accepting the results of this, or launching us into World War 3, or whatever his gambit is, we need to keep our eyes on the price. We can't afford to get distracted here. So I would just start by prefacing by saying that every member of the site is a curator of the site. What does that mean? It means you guys will be able to contribute posts, comments, timeline entries, I'll get into the timeline thing here in a moment, to the rapport section that discusses individual topics. But the point is that we together will maintain the record, and beyond that, we also have our memory, right? So we think we live in a post-truth world, there's no way that we can soar through this. I remember the way things were 10 or 15 years ago before all this shit had started. In this house, that world is gone. It's never coming back. I call BS on that. Each of us has an indelible impact. They want us to give up our right through silence and intimidation, to give in, to compliance ahead of time, to offer our inferred consent. Now, the problem is, too many of us are consuming media, and not creating it, right? Too many of us are consuming media, watching media, and there's nothing connecting us. There's nothing connecting our voices. So we might sit there and outrage when we see on the news through independent media providers of something new happening. Yet, how do we connect? At most, it's at a femoral tangential comment on a law and form media, videos say on YouTube. But for a lot of people, it's actually a short form. So the problem is, we can't even have community nowadays. Why? Because the platforms that be, they have us patrolled through an algorithm through the programming of it all. That does not even offer the user choice in terms of what they see. Number one, I mean, yes, they do by training the algorithm, but that's not direct control. And I'm not sure if it is this way for a lot of people, but I presume it is, to sit there on social media, socials all day, scrolling through video after video after video, just as it makes making you feel exhausted and tired. And there have been lots of studies that have been done, and hence why a lot of companies hire out neuroscientists nowadays, to figure out how to market to people. Because marketing really is teaching people about lack. And if they have this lack, how do they solve that lack? Well, if you buy this product, it'll fix everything. Right, and it's a similar kind of thing right now, is that what's missing is the lack of community. What's missing is an independent media voice that is by and for the people. Like I said, all of the independent media creators, they're all disparate from one another. That prevents our unified resident voice from resounding through it, right? Because I'm sure a lot of us will look at a video and be like, man, that person spot on. Okay, well, yeah, you can post it in the comment section. Great. What about it? While each of us may not have the ability to change the world more broadly, collectively and together through our purpose, we absolutely can change public social societal and political discourse. And anyone that tells you differently is going to be lying to you. It's for the same reason those same people that are going to be lying same. You know what, the rich paying their fair share, that's not going to make a difference. I'm sorry, I beg to differ. Yes, it does make a difference. Why is it a nice state's the most considered the wealthiest country in the world? But we're subtle with the most debt. Do you think that maybe if the rich paid their fair share that we wouldn't be in as a bad of a place as we are today? And then right now we're engaged in an illegal war, not one of our choosing and along with tariffs that's making our lives insufferable. So when are we going to stop over consuming, which is a destructive process and start creating, which is a constructive process? And like listen, I know such a platform hasn't existed until now, but I'm inviting you to join, okay? So visit the undercurrent.com that's THE, UNDER, KUR, ENT.com and share the word for the first 1,000 people roughly. I'm offering free lifetime access. The site itself is access free to access, but I need some way to be able to financially support the platform, okay? I'm not doing it for the money for the record. I'm not doing it for the money at all. But like I said, long term though, I need some way to be able to support the platform. My overall goal with the platform actually is to try to save democracy, to try to save our voice, to try to take advantage of these last couple months that we have and beyond when we find out that Trump will deny the results the election and we'll claim mass fraud and that we're going to cancel all future elections and is calling the martial law and all that. You know, we need to be prepared for when this happens. We need to be ready to be able to use our voices. Because if we sit back and we remain compliant, complicit and complicit in this process, then we don't deserve our democracy. I'd like to remind you all if you have a constitution to page it open and look at it. Look at what it says as far as art of the constitution and what's required of us. Because the systems, the powers that we have, let us down. They've let us down. Just recently, there was a vote on the Save Act and Socialist Democrats, two of our own kind, defected. If you want to call us our kind, but the lesser the two evils, you know, voted against our interests and for the Save Act. Can you believe that shit? Don't tell me that they were not threatened. They're lives, the lives that are family, whatever. Whatever that happened here, but the point is they were paid off. And don't even get me started with Scotis. Go to an extremely corrupt. You don't have to go far to see that. And right now as it stands, you know, they're trying to figure out if they're going to be implementing these rules that the Trump regime is saying that have to be implemented in order to be able to trust our election system. And have you noticed that Trump has been acting completely out of source and insane ever since he was teed up by Scotis before he got in the second time with a limited power and immunity? I'm telling you that we're in serious trouble here as Americans and if we're not going to participate in this process, then we don't deserve a democracy. We don't. I noticed this appointing that our leadership has let us down. I still have doubts about whether or not Democrats get in there that they're really going to solve everything or they're just going to, you know, maintain the status quo kind of like how they did from 2020 to 2024. Trump complains about how the DOG was weaponized against him. Absolutely wasn't. It should have been though. It should have been. And as a matter of fact, Biden should have done his part and prevented Trump from getting in the first place. You know, who's given supposedly that same unlimited power? You could have done something, but he was, you know, good old Democrat, whatever. All I would just say is if Democrats get in, we're going to need the undercurrent anyways to mount pressure, etc. On the Democrats. It's time that we start taking an active participation in this process. And more than anything, like I said, there's so much news out there. It's a 247 news cycle that's uncurated. But I believe we the people with enough of us can sort through the signal and make sense of that. Still down so those who decide to subscribe, you know, to the RSS feed, etc. You know, through membership. I mean, we'll offer it once a week free for everyone, but, you know, on a more frequent basis. We'll be able to benefit from that information, right, to not have to make sense of things, but actually just get to the underlying truth. And really hit at the subtextual and pretextual abuses that are happening all the time. We should always be asking ourselves that question. Now as far as the timeline, I hit on this briefly. So we have a chronology section. The chronology section, the purpose of that is to track the abuses. But in addition to that, while the undercurrent does have an algorithm, you're not required to use it. You can just sort and chronological basis by trust of post by author, trust, etc. You can even program your own algorithm based on your keywords of what you want to see. But specifically, there's a thing called the DKA, which is the deep current anchor algorithm. How it works is rather than working off of recent sea alone and what's a viral. It actually works off of veracity. What do I mean? I mean, in other words, if we're talking about say elections, it's going to automatically resurrect posts of the past five percent of them. And based on keywords, so it runs, you know, analysis on the words of given posts to compare. And it tries to pull things of the past along with a certain percentage of them being what are called serendipity picks. You know, unlike posts of the past that may be deserved more attention back then. Only 5 percent of that feed gets resurrected. And instead of it being like an algorithm where every person sees things that are different, we all see the same posts. The order chain is what changes based on a recent sea versus a trust. And that's yet another setting that when you're authenticated and logged in, you'll be able to control. But on an every six hour basis, we walk off of common grounds. So basically, we'll all see the same posts every six hours. There'll be some from the past that are resurrected. And basically, that's to cue a sitting case. There are details that we missed from a previous abuse or we forgot. Between that and the timeline in us managing the ledger as far as the corpora. And there's a corpus to every topic from elections to the Trump regime to, you know, voting, et cetera. It allows us to develop more of a full picture there. And the corpora section also, right now we haven't built up enough causal chains and related links. But once that's been curated, we'll be able to zoom out on a map and see like crime scene. What the heck's going on here? So I encourage all of you. If you've been asking yourself, man, I've been looking for a community like a group of same people, like if you've been saying, what the hell's wrong with the world? I don't understand. Like this is freaking insane. Well, this is the community for you. It's time that we rise up. We take the power back. We reclaim the narrative. And we tell them, this is not okay. Because the media is not doing it anymore. Arguably Democrats are not doing it anymore. We are the majority. We are catering to at most 300 to 3000 people that are ultra wealthy in this world in this country. And we're basically just to make it clear in a capitalistic society. Why are we not being paid as well as we are? Because the powers that be exploit are work, right? They exploit. So when you're in $15 an hour, you're earning the company $300 an hour. Does that make sense? So I'm tired of people saying, oh, it's just business. Don't take it personal. No BS. This is a sociopathy. This is a psychopathy that's going on. And ever since Trump's more recent ending with this most recent term, the powers that be are telling us exactly what they think of us. And telling us exactly that there's nothing we can do about it and they're all powerful. And they're laying people off right now, even though we're supposedly in the best economy ever in the history, which I don't believe that. I think that they're all keeping each other afloat right now. They want all of us to go broke. Why? Because they can then, on fire sell, buy up our properties, buy up buy up these farmers properties. There's no one coming to save us but ourselves. So is it going to be a case of of just us or just us, just us, right? We have to be that justice in that hero for one another. Last but not least, there's a lack of community. There's been a lack of community for a while. Think about how all of these media platforms are being made and how we are not really developing community. It's not the very technology that was intended to connect us is ultimately dividing us. That should be a red flag. So I, so recognize wall the undercurrent yes has a political nature to it. It's all about building community. There's a connection with live voice chat. There is a conversation section, which is basically a traditional form. And we will be putting out regular discourse chat talks. We will have guests on and it will be in a live format. But otherwise, we will have the podcast will be posting those to the discourse section. And we have a discourse hour. So this will probably show up as under the discourse hour. And we may even extend this to making this a, you know, call and show as well at some point. So the bottom line is I know that we're running out of time. We are less than 60 days out. I spent the past three months in earnest building the site. I'd like to see not go to waste. I'd like to see us connect up and show the powers that be that we, the people, are the ones that run society, not them. And as much as they want to convince themselves, they don't need us. They do. They do. I'm afraid that the powers that be, you know, if Trump has ever held accountable and all that, they're just going to leave the country. They're trying to leave the United States in a third world status as what they're trying to do. And right now, there's so many pretextual and subtextual abuses going on with this election. Just like in 2024, how can you explain, you know, the Democrats are, you know, raising 1.5 billion dollars and Trump winning all seven swing states. After the United States, do you really believe those results? Because I don't. I don't. And I'm concerned that people are giving too much faith that, well, there's really good chance. There's a big blue wave. Well, we thought there was a blue wave back then, and there wasn't. And I don't think that you can explain a way that, oh, well, Biden wasn't as good, you know, on that economy as Trump was and all this, well, even with all the crimes and, you know, all the various other abuses and just the affordability crisis, we can't rely on that alone. We need to be starting to form our coalition now. And we need to be ready to call out the abuses when they occur. We do. And to be honest, you know, I know we all can't afford it right now. But if we all could just agree to not go into work for a couple of weeks, to a month to three months, and we all took care of one another, the rich wouldn't have any choice, they wouldn't have any choice. They'd be losing too much money. They'd be practically getting done on their hands and feeds and kissing our feet. And begging us. The reason why they don't is because they've created this K-shaped economy, they want us dependent, right? And it didn't help that Trump laid off like over a million federal workers. And, of course, it also doesn't help, and I just want to explain this to you real quick, right quick. How money enters the economy from the government is through grants, purely. And so I know this may upset people, but for anyone that's a fan of Elon Musk and say, he was doing it because he cared about our country, no, he didn't. He tripled his net wealth since Trump got in office. Even he admits Trump wouldn't have won this election without him. And what did Elon engage in? He had those walk into the IRS and already take our P.I.I. or personally identifiable information to try to start this voter rule process. They said that they, you know, through a questioning one of these douche people that, you know, supposedly some of this leaked to some third party, well, they just need to say that. So they're like, it's not, you know, we want to Trump, but whatever. So they've been using that information I'm sure to try to develop their own voter rules. They've been trying to get it from the states and really overreaching very far on that. Like I said, we've seen the Supreme Court of the United States. They've got one fucking job to do, and that's to interpret the constitution, and they intently decide to not interpret it correctly. We're in a time of high crime in the United States. The social contract has been ripped up in our faces. And I think it's about time that we let them know. And we're not going to accept this. We're not going to accept this. They feel like they have all the power. But we the people are more in number. We're the majority. We're ultimately, if we wouldn't give into the bait of left versus right, instead focused on top versus bottom and follow the money, that's all we would need to do. That's all I would need to do. But those empower, the reason why their tone is what their plans are without hiding it, because the rich and powerful think that we've already lost, and maybe we have, hopefully not. But the point is, we can definitely set our own narrative. One that involves truth, justice, accountability, and not the mind-fucky mind games that they constantly engage in. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. I think most of you would agree. You're tired, so sick of being sick and tired. So like I said, I think the truth is, we have to form a coalition. We have to come together. It's great that you watch my discharge. You might, you know, Kyle Kulinski, whatever. By all means do, but you know what? I think we're being called to a higher position with all this. And we all need to be taking a more active approach in this. And like I said, it's not a helpful for us to consume. To continually consume is to consume us, right? And if we're expecting things to change without our participation, that is a huge mistake. All right, so peace and love to you all. Until next time, I'll be posting again here soon. I will try putting out a long-form video. I don't know how much effort I wanted to put into it, but I will definitely put it out at some point. Just give them the fact, like I said, the YouTube algorithm and then my comments are getting deleted. So I'm hoping that podcasts are still that one finite area that still has some bandwidth for those out there that are winning the truth. They're tired of the BSC mind games and feeling just so inundated all the time. It's time that we come together and take our power back. All right, peace and love to you all. Until next time, be well. See ya.
