Free speech — America’s most sacred promise. But from Eugene Debs in 1919, jailed for a speech against World War I, to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden today, the record shows a different story: dissent isn’t protected, it’s punished. In this episode, Colby Rau dissects the First Amendment, weaving together history, case law, and modern censorship to show how the freedom to speak has been reduced to a hollow shell.

In 1773, the Boston Tea Party was more than a protest over a drink — it was a stand against a corporate monopoly backed by the Crown’s armed enforcers. Today, the names and uniforms have changed, but the structure hasn’t. In this episode of Outpost Radio, we draw a direct line from the East India Company’s tea monopoly to modern corporate special interests, and from redcoats in the streets to the blue uniforms that guard today’s monopolies. We’ll break down why the Third and Fourth Amendments were designed to keep state-backed commerce out of our communities, and why dismissing them as outdated has left us under a new kind of occupation. This is where comfort ends, and responsibility begins.

In the final episode of the Six Pillars series, we confront the cultural and spiritual unraveling of a once purpose-driven society. From Malthusian population control to Darwin’s theories and the rise of eugenics, we trace how religion, morality, and meaning were replaced by data, desire, and distraction. We explore the infiltration of Crowley’s Thelema into consumer culture, how media sterilized belief into a product, and how the sacred was swapped for the synthetic. This episode is not just history—it’s a mirror. A call for reflection, accountability, and reconnection with the soul. If you're ready to live like it matters, this is where the path begins.

From communal harvests on the American frontier to chemical-laced monocrops backed by war profiteers, our food system tells the story of control masked as convenience. In this episode, I walk you through the industrial takeover of agriculture — from the rise of meat barons and government carb rations, to eugenicist breakfast cults and Nazi-linked fertilizer empires. This isn’t just about food. It’s about soil, sovereignty, and survival. Join me as we unravel the truth about what’s on your plate — and why the path back to freedom begins in your own backyard.

This episode is a roadmap. Not of rebellion—but of how we got here. From the day slavery was “abolished” to the moment media, money, and law merged under corporate control, we trace how freedom was rebranded, repackaged, and resold to us. Sovereignty used to mean living on your terms. Now it means asking permission.

We’ll cover how mercenaries became police, how think tanks became lawmakers, and how global elites like the WEF set the tempo for governments they don’t even run. We connect the dots—from greenbacks to Glass-Steagall repeal, from COINTELPRO to the Telecom Act, from Reaganomics to USMCA. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s a timeline.

They sold us safety, but they meant surveillance. They promised freedom, but they meant free trade—on their terms. If you've ever felt like something was off but couldn’t name it, this is that missing chapter.

This isn’t theory. This is a map. And it's time we found our way home.

This episode unpacks the long-forgotten history of American medicine — before corporate gatekeepers turned healing into industry. We follow the money from Rockefeller oil empires to FDA mandates, showing how herbalists, midwives, and community doctors were replaced by prescriptions, protocols, and propaganda. Learn how the war on drugs was really a war on independent healing, and why it's time to restore our right to health freedom.

This pillar examines the transformation of American education from a system rooted in personal responsibility and intellectual freedom to one of compliance and institutional control. Tracing its evolution from the self-directed learning of early America to the centralized, credential-driven model of today, this chapter reveals how the goal of education shifted—from cultivating independent thinkers to manufacturing obedient workers. Key inflection points, including the Marc Tucker letter and legislative changes, illustrate how the state replaced the family as the primary authority in a child’s intellectual life. It is a sobering account of how control over information and learning shapes a nation’s destiny.

In this episode of The Outpost Radio, Colby Rau unpacks the first of six foundational pillars: Money and Banking. Starting in the early 1800s, he walks through the evolution of America’s currency—from real, tangible value to manipulated fiat control. From Andrew Jackson’s stand against central banking to the silent repeal of financial safeguards like Glass-Steagall, this episode traces the slow transformation of the American economy into a rigged game of credit, debt, and dependence.

Discover how banking and big business joined forces to reshape opportunity, crush small enterprise, and lock generations into debt slavery. This isn’t just history—it’s the playbook that built our current system. And it’s time we stop playing by its rules.
