Steel Communion: Stalin, the NKVD & the Machinery of Fear EP482
What happens when a regime tries to swap out the Cross for the hammer‑and‑sickle and turns fear into a national sacrament? In this hard‑hitting deep dive, we expose Joseph Stalin’s unholy alliance with the NKVD—his trench‑coat priesthood that systematized terror through midnight arrests, quota‑driven executions, show‑trial liturgies, and the frozen hell of the Gulag.

The Prepping That Really Matters But You Don’t Want To Hear
YouTube HERE
True preparedness goes far beyond gear and stockpiles—it begins within. In this video, we dive deep into what it really means to be prepared: strengthening the mind, body, and spirit so you can face whatever comes your way with resilience and clarity. Physical fitness, mental toughness, emotional control, and spiritual grounding are interconnected—when one weakens, the others suffer. But when all are strong, you become unshakable. This is the kind of prepping that truly matters. This is the foundation of real survival.

Used in WWII. Sold in Stores. Still Just as Deadly?
YouTube HERE
The Weapon That Was Used During WWII That You Can Buy At The Store❗️ Mike Sterling and Jason weigh-in on potential threats, like nerve gas, and what you should be afraid of. In case you didn't catch the sarcasm that was a joke! Nerve gas — it sounds like something from a warzone. Because it is. Originally developed in World War II, nerve agents like Sarin, VX, and Tabun are some of the deadliest chemical weapons ever created. What most people don’t know is that they attack your central nervous system, shutting down communication between your brain and body — leading to convulsions, paralysis, and death in minutes.
I appreciate your support very much!
Godspeed,
Chris Heaven, CEO
