    Jason Jorjani | Decoding the Occult Horizons

    I am joined by Dr. Jason Reza Jorjani to uncover the veil of ignorance around a subject, the ramifications of which will shatter reality as we know it. Specifically that of the Occult inner technology which is allegedly possessed by plants, animals, and of course those of us who have not succumbed to the sedentary life of complacency as if sleepwalking through life.

    Curtis Yarvin VS John Herbst - Ukraine Debate

    Watch the debate on Youtube: https://youtu.be/QYMC6nnuHdY In this thought-provoking debate, I sit down with John E. Herbst (former US Ambassador to Ukraine, and head of the Eurasia Center at the Atlantic Council) and political theorist + Neoreactionary godfather Curtis Yarvin to clash over the trajectory of U.S. support for Ukraine, American foreign policy, and global hegemony. This deep-dive discussion tackles some of the most contentious geopolitical questions of our time: Is the conflict in Ukraine a vital defense of the liberal international order, or an overextension of American empire? What are the broader risks regarding Russia, China, and global security? Watch as two distinct perspectives collide over history, statecraft, and national interest.

    Henry Nowak | The Revolt Against Anarcho Tyranny

    The tragic murder of Henry Nowak has become the ultimate case study in the collapse of Western institutional trust: the recognition of a two-tier system of justice that fails to protect the citizen, yet works with ruthless efficiency to manage the narrative of those who are non-Western being perpetual victims while the former are cast as villains. Joined by @DiscoOrpheus and Stelios Panagiotou, we break down the mechanics of the "Anarcho-Tyranny" currently governing the UK and its implications for the broader West. Likewise, what would revolting against such a system look like, and whether the reactions to Henry Nowak will make for any change. ------ Stelios Panagiotou https://x.com/Panagiotou90St Disco Orepheus https://x.com/DiscoOrpheus Lev Polyakov (Host & Editor / Animator) https://twitter.com/Levpo https://levpo.substack.com/ http://youtube.com/levpolyakov -- Consider Supporting BTR by: Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules 🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over at http://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR ☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10 Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!

    Ashton Forbes | Forbidden UFO Tech

    I am joined by Ashton Forbes, an independent researcher known for his meticulous investigation into high-altitude anomalies and his refusal to accept mainstream narratives regarding the UFO phenomenon. We are likewise joined by mathematician and amateur physicist Didier Gaulin, who provides the rigorous analytical framework necessary for the deeper exploration of the physics and mechanics under discussion. Together, we are looking deep into the forbidden UFO tech to dismantle the established record on "breakaway" civilizations. We move beyond the standard UFO phenomenon to investigate the reality of suppressed systems—from the propulsion mechanics of anti-gravity craft to the dangerous implications of zero-point energy manipulation.

    Fighting Third Worldism | Matt Forney

    In this hard-hitting stream, author and dissident right commentator Matt Forney declares war on Third Worldism — the anti-Western ideology that romanticizes the Global South, pushes open borders, demographic replacement, and multipolar “anti-imperialism” while eroding Western civilization from within. We dive deep into this growing trend infecting both the far right and the left, how to fight back against it, and exactly where the line must be drawn — lest the West become everything it was envisioned to stand against. --- Matt Forney https://x.com/mattforney https://debateless.com/ Lev Polyakov https://x.com/LevPo --- Consider Supporting BTR by: Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules 🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over at http://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR ☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10 Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!

    Patrick Casey: Third Worldism on the Right

    I talk w/ Patrick Casey, Paleoconservative & host of Restoring Order, about the rise of Third World-ism among those on the right, joining in on what has traditionally been more of a left wing movement. This trajectory by online pundits being both from the support provided by audiences in the Global South as well as genuine belief in a Duginist Eurasian bloc to preserve "tradition" against modernity. We will also discuss Patrick's own intellectual journey & whether there can be a unity among those who oppose this anti-Western movement. -- Patrick Casey https://x.com/restoreorderusa https://www.patrickcasey.com/ Lev Polyakov https://twitter.com/Levpo https://levpo.substack.com/ http://youtube.com/levpolyakov -- Consider Supporting BTR by: Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules 🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over at http://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR ☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10 Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!

The conversation also explores the aftermath of the 12 Day War, the halted Rising Lion operation, and the strategic differences between Washington and Jerusalem.

    Who Did Epstein Work For? Adam Crigler & Park MacDougald

    A discussion on the Jeffrey Epstein networks, as well as exploring where public attention is being redirected by turning Epstein into a symbolic totem for vague “elite Satanism,” instead of following the concrete power networks, money flows, intelligence relationships, and state interests that actually sustained his operation. We examine how parts of the alternative media ecosystem funnel outrage toward theatrical villains and metaphysical abstractions, while avoiding harder questions about geopolitical leverage, kompromat, blackmail infrastructure, and the role of state and quasi state actors in shaping narratives after Epstein’s death.

    American Breaking Point | Auron Macintyre & Rio Veradonir

    Watch on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_mqIiVtcsk The United States may be approaching a genuine breaking point. Across the country, two increasingly irreconcilable visions of America are colliding: one side demanding order, enforcement, and the restoration of state while the other viewing enforcement itself as illegitimate, immoral, or existentially dangerous. To explore this divide, Break The Rules brings together two voices who both want a high-trust society, but disagree sharply on how such a society can be rebuilt. Auron MacIntyre: a political writer and commentator focused on state capacity, legitimacy, and institutional breakdown in the modern West. He has contributed to The Blaze and other outlets, and has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and related programs discussing law, enforcement, and the limits of liberal governance. He is the author of The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies (2024), a critical examination of how modern liberal democracies can drift toward authoritarian outcomes through emergency powers, bureaucratic expansion, and weakened constitutional constraints. Drawing on his experience as a journalist during the Trump presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic, MacIntyre analyzes censorship, surveillance, selective enforcement, and the growth of unaccountable administrative power, questioning whether democratic systems reliably restrain authority—or instead enable its expansion under crisis conditions. https://x.com/AuronMacintyre https://www.amazon.com/dp/1684515580?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_5Q231Q8CQ65W8Z0PTQ3H Rio Veradonir: a political organizer, producer, and advisor working across multiple civic and advocacy organizations. He is the Founder and Editor of Queer Majority, a political publication focused on inclusion and liberal democratic values, and serves with the A.D. Bi Foundation. Rio is also a Producer at Bi.org, the world’s largest bisexual advocacy organization, and the Lead Organizer of amBi, a national bisexual social and political network. In addition, he serves as an Advisor to Project Liberal and Illinois Values, where his work centers on civic engagement, coalition-building, civil liberties, and the preservation of democratic norms in polarized societies. https://x.com/RioVeradonir https://substack.com/@veradonir Lev Polyakov (Host & Editor / Animator) https://twitter.com/Levpo https://levpo.substack.com/ http://youtube.com/levpolyakov -- Consider Supporting BTR by: Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules 🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over at http://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR ☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10 Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!

    Ask Ukrainians: Peace Deal & Wartime Elections

    YT LINK: https://youtube.com/live/rDyd3lrGNP0 Since many on the MAGA right talked about how Zelensky's govt and the people's popular will in Ukraine differs in their views on the Russian invasion and peace deals, I thought it would be interesting to talk to the Ukrainians themselves, so enlisted a friend's help to find random people (as picked by our right leaning guest, former US Special Forces Brian O'Shea) in the streets of Kyiv to speak with. Featuring: Brain O'Shea https://x.com/BrianOSheaSPI https://consumerdiligence.org/ Vlad Davidzon https://x.com/VladDavidzon JerryMacc, the Ukrainian Loremaster + his friends. https://x.com/JerryULore And the Ukrainian people. -- Consider Supporting BTR by: Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules 🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over at http://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR ☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10 Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping! -- FOLLOW BTR: Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hHTNg3M Twitter - http://twitter.com/breakth3rules Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0yovF9Vo8n1fF1DGlMuWBh Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/break-the-rules/id1543233584
