Charlie Robinson isn’t just stepping into alternative media—he’s on a mission to transform it. As the new force behind Activist Post, he shares how he went from an author and podcast host to leading one of the most influential independent news platforms. In this episode, we get real about the cracks in alternative media—how narratives get twisted, what stories get buried, and why questioning everything is more important than ever. We break down how mainstream narratives around COVID-19, financial systems, and government control over cryptocurrencies are shaping the world around us. We also pull back the curtain on the hidden agendas driving global governance and elite power structures. We also talk about the growing shift toward independent voices, the rise of decentralized media, and why more people than ever are waking up to the bigger picture.

Chapters With Long Summaries
Chapter 1
Activist Post Takeover and Media Integrity
00:32
This chapter welcomes Charlie Robinson, who shares his excitement about taking over Activist Post, a leading independent media website. After initially hesitating, Charlie decided to embrace the opportunity to manage the site, drawn by his passion for curating impactful content. He discusses the site’s transformation, highlighting improvements in speed and user experience by updating its outdated infrastructure. Charlie, known for his articulate voice on freedom and cultural issues, also promotes his new edition of “Hypocrisy: Surviving in a World of Cultural Double Standards” and shares insights into his journey from writing books and hosting podcasts to leading a major media platform.
Chapter 2
The Dangers of Alternative Media
18:32
This chapter focuses on navigating alternative media to discern authenticity and avoid misinformation. We explore the subtle tactics used in propaganda, such as blending truth with minor but significant alterations that can change narratives. The discussion highlights the importance of questioning why certain topics are ignored, particularly in mainstream alternative media, and scrutinizing the funding behind large productions. We also examine the role of former intelligence operatives in the media landscape and the impact of being banned as a potential indicator of truth-telling. Additionally, we touch on interesting guests like Dr. Jack Cruz, who challenge mainstream narratives, and discuss the effects of blue light on well-being. Overall, this chapter encourages critical thinking and awareness in media consumption.
Chapter 3
Manufactured Pandemic and Depopulation Agenda
32:41
This chapter explores the skepticism surrounding government and media narratives during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting perceived manipulations and incentives to increase vaccine uptake. I express frustration over what is seen as an overblown crisis and suggest that the resistance to vaccines was underestimated by authorities. The conversation touches on theories about elite intentions, suggesting that depopulation may be a covert objective linked to global governance, supported by historical references like the 1974 National Security Memorandum 200 by Henry Kissinger. There’s also a discussion on whether some elites might view these actions as a means to strengthen humanity by eliminating “dead weight.” The complex interplay of power, control, and public health policies is examined, questioning the true motivations behind these global strategies.
Chapter 4
The Future of Currency and Wealth
46:56
This chapter explores the challenges and possibilities of financial systems in a rapidly changing world. We examine the limitations of programmable money and its potential impact on personal freedom, highlighting concerns about geofencing and restricted transactions. The discussion shifts to the value of alternative currencies like Goldbacks, a unique currency infused with gold, and their legal and practical benefits. I share insights from a recent interview with the Goldback founder and discuss how these can be used at farmer’s markets or as gifts. The conversation also touches on the role of intrinsic wealth, with a nod to the educational aspect of teaching children about the tangible value of precious metals like silver. Additionally, I discuss the potential of cryptocurrencies, appreciating both Bitcoin’s transparency and Monero’s privacy features, while advocating for holding value in Bitcoin over traditional dollars as a form of economic expression.
Chapter 5
Navigating Conversations About Government and Bitcoin
52:31
This chapter examines the complex landscape of cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, and its interaction with government policies. We explore the apprehensions surrounding government involvement in Bitcoin, expressing a preference for minimal interference and highlighting the potential consequences if major governments like the United States begin to amass Bitcoin reserves. The conversation also touches on the broader theme of skepticism toward government actions, such as bans on certain substances like red dye, and a general mistrust of government intentions. Additionally, I reflect on the challenge of communicating these perspectives to others, especially those who may be unaware or dismissive, and suggest a more engaging approach through dialogue and questioning rather than overwhelming them with information.
Chapter 6
Questioning Society’s Apathy and Complacency
59:28
This chapter explores the pervasive issue of public apathy towards environmental phenomena, such as chemtrails, and broader societal programming through media and education. We express frustration with how people are more engrossed in TV shows and sports trivia than in questioning unusual patterns in the sky or the implications of modern living on their health and awareness. The conversation touches on the potential numbing effects of fluoride, processed foods, and media, which may contribute to a general lack of curiosity and critical thinking. Despite this, I emphasize a personal shift towards positivity and hope, aiming to end on an optimistic note by seeking aspects of the future to be hopeful about, despite the prevailing challenges.
Chapter 7
The Awakening and Preparedness Ahead
01:03:14
This chapter addresses the growing skepticism towards mainstream media and the potential shift in public consciousness following major global events like COVID-19, the JFK assassination, and 9/11. We explore how diminishing trust in traditional news outlets, evidenced by declining viewership and financial struggles of networks like MSNBC, presents an opportunity for alternative media to provide more authentic information. Optimism surrounds the idea that people are questioning narratives and seeking truth beyond mainstream channels. Drawing parallels with the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, there’s an urgency to recognize impending challenges and prepare for the future, both in terms of financial stability and critical awareness. The importance of staying vigilant and asking questions is emphasized as a means to navigate uncertain times and seize opportunities that arise in their aftermath.
