The Telegraphing Moves of The Zeitgeist

“The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I have always been involved in athletics and this was obviously the driving factor that resulted in me deciding to go into the fitness industry as a working professional. 

I have been a lifelong athlete and a natural competitor and as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized more and more just how important and beneficial this has been to me on a number of levels regarding my professional pursuits, mental health, physical health, and general ability to exercise my awareness of my environment. 

If you’ve tuned into this show and read, or listened to this podcast blog then you’ve often heard me talk about the significance of being able to understand your environment. Whenever I mention that I’m not meaning for you to take that lightly. 

In fact, I started this blog and podcast to communicate a variety of skills and strategies in order to help to train you physically and mentally to really acquire the ability to think, discern, and solve your way out of the environmental problems we’re all faced with on a daily basis. 

After all, if you observe the general Newscycle from the Administrative State Media (ASM) on a day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year basis then you’d think that Ukraine is winning the war, you’d think that the pandemic was the fault of the unvaccinated, that the banking and financial system is back to optimal health, that our election system is more secure than ever, and that the education system is actually an education system rather than the disastrous indoctrination camp that they are proving to be with every new class of teenagers that enters into the workforce these days.

Meanwhile, if you are capable of observing reality you’d know and understand with clarity that the country is clearly being run into the dirt by a corrupt illegitimate regime that apparently is in power due to the fact that they acquired more legal votes in the most secure election of our history (according to them). 

Of course the Biden regime is in power due to the fact that the American people rushed to the polls with no rigged process of the elections whatsoever and with a record number 81 million votes pushed him across the finish line in glorious fashion because he’s no establishment shill with a dirty record in Washington D.C. like the rest of those other corrupt politicians that run that city.  

Now if you’re capable of discernment then you’d understand that I’m being completely sarcastic with that previous statement regarding the fair election of Biden. Of course he’s illegitimate. Our entire Administrative State is illegitimate and many of us have known this since before Biden was ever elected, but many are just now seeing the corruption play out in real time and they’re confused, shocked, and disturbed. Of course, many people are either too apathetic or demoralized to ever be capable of recognizing it, but there will always be a segment of the population of those people. 

However, how is it that some people can anticipate what is happening in the real world while others simply cannot? How can some people see the trends of what’s coming down range while others cannot? 

I’ll get into that shortly, but I will say that being self-employed certainly has helped me with gaining understanding in this arena. Now I want to be clear that I’m not saying this with the motivation to feed my ego, or to try to put myself onto some kind of pedestal. That is not my point at all. In fact, that’s not anywhere close to the point I’m trying to make to you here today. 

However, the point I am trying to make is that when looking at societal issues that unfold in today’s world and across today’s media landscape discovering what is more truthfully accurate and being able to predict the direction of how things will develop and play out requires a bit of digging, discernment, and work. After all, since the pandemic hit three years ago, getting to the truth and uncovering what was more accurate in terms of what has been going on in the world is the entire motivation behind the existence of this podcast and blog.  

Please just take a moment and ask yourself the following question. Are there people that tend to be more correct at identifying trends, seeing corruption, and predicting certain outcomes based on their accurate observations and anticipation of certain corrupt people and organizations in society? I would say this is an absolute YES.  

Does this mean that we always have the exact answer to certain predictions of societal outcomes? No, good predictors of human nature won’t always have the “exact” answers when it comes to objective outcomes, but good predictors will have “more accurate” answers when it comes to predicting certain societal outcomes because of their discipline to read and connect dots based on being able to recognize given motivations, actions, and ideologies of certain organizations and groups of people. 

I think I’ve always had a feel for doing this because I'm a small business owner. If you’re a small business owner then you understand what it means to think deeply about how to walk through the process of securing your business, not only for growth, but equally for the purpose of protection as well. After all, one can produce wealth, but one must also understand how to protect that which was produced at the same time. At the end of the day if you’re incapable of the latter then what’s the point of the former?

The S.A.I.D. Principle

So now I wanted to go back to touch on and elaborate a bit more on why some people can anticipate what is happening in the real world better than others. As I stated, owning a small business served as a good practice run for me to get the feel of this and if you own a business this will make more sense to you as well. 

So what do I mean by that? How does owning a business help one with understanding the environment better, therefore making one better equipped for making predictions and taking measures to protect oneself from the external forces that are always thrusting unwanted challenges upon the rest of society?


As I mention quite frequently here on this blog and podcast the first step to this comes back to being able to recognize the environment. When I refer to the environment what I mean is that I’m basically taking inventory on those things which make up the function of the environment. The primary and first key element that makes up the environment is people. That’s right, human beings are the first agent of change you need to look at when trying to make sense of your environment. 

Granted now with the looming threat of A.I. we could probably add that to the equation as well, but I digress.

So how does this work? 

When taking inventory of your environment consider the forces that influence both yours and my environment. Aside from people, those forces consist of several different fields of influence combined with the lived documented human experience. 

For instance, the economy is a field that directly impacts both of our environments. Another example is culture, another is philosophy, finance, history, geo-politics, and individual health and fitness as well. 

So in my own personal case here all of these fields are things that I’ve had to deal with quite frequently throughout my career and life. 

After all, since I’m a business owner I don’t have a choice in understanding and having to get my arms around the financial and economic environment in order to better navigate the operation of my business. If I didn’t then the business would cease to exist and I wouldn’t be talking to you now with this show. 

Additionally, in my personal case I just happen to be a student of history and philosophy so that covers those bases in terms of those fields of influence. I’ve always had a genuine curiosity about politics and I’m also a professional fitness and strength coach so that covers the field of influence in regards to individual health and fitness. 

So here you can see in my case how I’ve been able to navigate this modern environment. Once again, this is not an ego session. To clarify once more I’m merely pointing to and referencing my own personal background and experiences to illustrate why and how it is that I talk about these issues with such great enthusiasm and knowledge. It’s simply because I just happen to be a guy that is in a profession where I’ve not had any other choice, but to learn more about these various fields of study and influence. That’s all I’m saying. 

So now that’s out of the way, the bottom line is that I’ve had to deal with these different areas and fields. Because of this I've had the opportunity to become more and more efficient at nailing down the understanding of these things and connecting the dots through regular effort and practice. Does this mean I’m always exactly right about everything? No, it doesn’t. 

However, I’ve noticed in the past few years that the more effort, energy, and time I put into studying the environment, I find that I am way more accurate than inaccurate as world events play out on the global and local stage. 

As a professional coach I can attest to the fact that this regular effort and practice improves one’s skill which can also be explained as a phenomenon that is known in my field as the S.A.I.D. principle. S.A.I.D stands for Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. 

This basically asserts that given stressors that are introduced onto the human body, whether biomechanical or neurological, will result in the Specific Adaptations to those Imposed Demands. Basically this is a fancy way of saying that in order for you to get better at a given skill you must practice that specific skill in order to acquire the necessary adaptations for mastering that skill.

In short, if you wanted to get better at hitting a baseball then you wouldn’t practice shooting a basketball. You would practice hitting the baseball in order to get better at that particular skill. Now this may seem obvious, however when it comes to the arena of politics, history, philosophy, etc. many people would rather argue about these things without putting in the practice to truly understand these fields of influence. 

As an example when it comes to these fields of influence people will get emotional and charge in hard and have strong feelings about something that they know very little about. That’s something that’s always been a bit of a mystery to me, but then again human nature is at times a mystery. 

The more direct point I’m trying to make here is that given the corruption that has infiltrated our economic, political, financial, medical, cultural, and educational environment none of us have any other choice than to implement the S.A.I.D. principle for ourselves by working consistently smarter in order to acquire a deeper understanding of what’s going on in a world full of deception. 

Chances are if you tune into this blog and podcast regularly you have the hunger and desire to gain more understanding and a fresh perspective on these matters, but my guess is that you probably have a very demanding life schedule and you’re busy with life. This would obviously make additional time for research a more difficult task for you. I totally understand and this show exists to help you to fill those gaps and to give you an assist in reaching the Zenith of that understanding. I want to help you to read and anticipate the moves that are being telegraphed by the environment which are occurring in the current Zeitgeist of our time.

The Zeitgeist of Gold, UFOs, and Aliens

I’ve always been a fan of movies and enjoy streaming certain series from certain people. I enjoy a good story and I believe very strongly in the fact that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in terms of influencing and transforming the Zeitgeist of a given time. 

By the way, if you didn’t know the meaning of that word Zeitgeist it means the defining mood and the accepted beliefs and norms of the time. So when we look at the culture and history of human existence the way we understand the different times throughout history is by understanding the Zeitgeist of that time we are examining. To learn more about this make sure you check out my episode here titled The Overlapping Zeitgeist of A Generation

Keeping that in mind a few years ago back in 2014 I saw the first John Wick movie and probably like you thought it was a really cool action movie with a great setting. However, I noticed something a bit unique in all of the John Wick movies that really got my attention. 

Aside from John Wick’s slick choice of style with his killer suits (pun intended) and the impressive collection of firearms the other thing that got my attention was how Mr. Wick would pay for everything with a gold coin. In fact, in the very first John Wick movie he uses a sledgehammer to break open the concrete in his basement where he had a chest buried underneath. When he opened the chest the inside was full of guns and many beautiful rolled gold coins. 

In addition to this a few months ago I saw a movie that was titled Gold that was apparently released in 2022. Given the title, gold was obviously involved in that film as well. Just recently I saw another great new action movie titled Sisu. In Sisu a prospector strikes gold and as luck would have it he crosses paths with a group of Nazis on a violent retreat in Northern Finland during WWII. I also highly recommend this movie. 

So why am I telling you about these films? 

Well an interesting observation in my opinion, as well as the common denominator in all of these films starting back with John Wick in 2014, is that they all involve a theme using gold in the storylines.

So as I made that observation I found myself asking the question why?

Now if you pay close attention to the environment and you’ve done enough research then you’d know without question that there’s always been an element of social engineering throughout culture and entertainment in order to shape the behavior and norms of society. Now where did we hear those words, behavior and norms? Ah yes, that is what I established earlier that is known as the Zeitgeist

The intelligence community has always had a hand in this influence of the Zeitgeist. In case you’ve forgotten, one of the most recent examples of this was with the FBI involvement with Twitter and their influence on the 2020 election as Elon Musk exposed with his Twitter file drops to the now famous reporter that pushed it out into the open Matt Taibbi. 

So given the gold theme of these movies why did that get my attention? 

First of all, gold and silver are precious metals that have traditionally been used as a store of value for investments as a hedge against inflation. Now you’ve got to think about this because the first John Wick movie was released back in 2014 and the other two movies have come out much more recently in the last couple years. However, there have been many John Wick movies from 2014 up until now along with several other films and TV shows with a working gold theme in the storylines.  

However, in the last two to three years the federal government under Joe Biden has blown up inflation to 40 year record highs due to the seemingly endless printing of money by the Federal Reserve combined with the out of control spending that we’re seeing in Washington D.C. 

This constant spending and printing of money has been a blatant abuse of our currency. Additionally, when the Biden regime went to full blown economic warfare with Russia by taking them off of the SWIFT (Which stands for The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) banking system it caused a lot of other countries to take notice and to address the concerns that if America could do that to Russia, then it could also do that to them. 

As a result, we now have the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations looking to meet in Durban, South Africa here starting on August 22, 2023 for a plan to de-dollarize their trades with some sort of new currency that is looking to be backed by gold. 

You see, the reason the United States has been able to print so much money without a complete economic and societal collapse so far up until now is because the United States dollar is the world’s reserve currency and has been since WWII. 

In other words, whenever countries across the globe do financial trades with each other they have traditionally used the United States dollar because of the confidence in the strength of our currency. However, since Biden has abused the currency and used it for economic warfare aggression against Russia we now are faced with a situation where our biggest enemies, along with some allies, are looking to come off of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Whether you like it or not doesn’t matter the reality is that the confidence in the U.S. dollar is waning. The question is how much and how fast will this confidence dissolve? 

This would be absolutely devastating to our nation in a way that many economists, as well as President Trump, say would be equivalent, or even worse than losing WWIII. However, given the record high inflation we’re facing now, gold and silver precious metals are being bought up by our enemy nations, as well as the big banks in tremendously large quantities. In fact, many of these nations have hit record reserves in gold stores in 2022 and are on track to surpass that here in 2023.  

Could the gold theme being inserted into the culture have been a sort of telegraphing move that the Zeitgeist was trying to show us? Could the Zeitgeist have been preparing us for this current time with inflation and possibly even for the potential of something worse? Regardless of what you or I think, we're faced with the reality of it right here and now because it’s happening.

So now that I’ve pointed to the gold theme potentially telegraphing some moves to us within the culture and Zeitgeist, what sort of messaging are we getting with the current culture of UFOs and possible alien life forms? 

Just recently congress held hearings with the testimony of some government whistleblowers revealing some information about the alleged evidence of UFOs and alien life forms. According to the testimony of one whistleblower David Grusch testified and made claims that the United States government has possession of crashed UFOs, as well as non-human pilots that have been recovered for quite some time by our government. 

Going back to the culture signals in television and movies as a GenXer I remember two pieces of work in film and television that really got my attention on the prospect of UFOs and the possibility of aliens. One interesting observation about the following TV show and movie is that both kicked off in 1993 with The X-Files TV show, as well as the famous movie Fire In The Sky which was the biopic of Travis Walton and his story of being abducted by extraterrestrial beings. 

I can remember being shocked at seeing these when they came out as the thought of UFOs and extraterrestrials to me at that time was a little distressing. I suppose it was all about the fear of the unknown that got to me, but what I found is that over time I became more accepting of the idea of it. 

Now don’t misunderstand me here. I’m not saying that I necessarily believe 100% that extraterrestrials exist right here and now, but personally speaking I do believe in the idea and possibility of it and I believe it more than I don’t believe it at this time. 

So once again, the theme of UFOs and extraterrestrials have been injected into the Zeitgeist now for quite some time and as a GenXer The X-Files and Fire In The Sky really brought this into the culture in a way that hadn’t been done up until that point in my personal opinion. 

So what is the real story here? 

Once again, I like to observe the environment carefully and once I started seeing a gold theme I figured there would be some sort of financial, or economic issue that would be plaguing the country in the time that followed with films like John Wick, Sisu, and Gold that have been picking up the pace with the “gold theme” in the last few years. 

I also coupled this observation with the knowledge and fact that I also knew when Joe Biden was installed into the White House that he was simply a corrupt D.C. grifter that has never had a job in the private sector and only knows how to make money inside the corrupt Washington D.C. machine. Given this I knew he was clueless about what it takes to create true wealth within a society, therefore the only thing he could resort to was big government spending, big government expansion, and firing up of the printing press over at the Federal Reserve. Of course, he’s proven me right by putting all of this activity on steroids. 

As far as the presence of UFOs and extraterrestrials picking up momentum within the messaging in our culture and Zeitgeist, what does this mean for us next? 

Share The Official Substack Of Brandon Richey

I’m not quick to say that the origin of UFOs are simply terrestrial only because I don’t want to discount the many decades of individuals who have made claims about having harrowing personal encounters. Could some of those people simply be seeking attention? Of course, but I don’t believe all of these people have lied who have claimed to have had an unexplained, or unusual encounter with either an extraterrestrial or UFO. After all, there have been many of these witnesses spanning across decades since the Roswell incident and the Battle of Los Angeles going all the way back to 1942 and 1947. 

The point is that the prospect of UFOs and extraterrestrials have been injected into the Zeitgeist for quite some time now. The question is that now that the government, after having lied for decades that UFOs and extraterrestrials did NOT exist, why all the sudden are they now saying that they do exist? 

So if you don’t trust the government I get it. I don’t either. However, ask yourself the following question. If you didn’t trust the government when they said UFOs and extraterrestrials didn’t exist then what has changed now that they are admitting to the public that they do exist with these whistleblowers? 

Yet, as these whistleblowers come forward the intelligence community has been operating in secrecy and being funded with tax dollars with no accountability as we discovered in the recent congressional hearings with David Grusch. You see, that’s the real story here. It’s not whether you believe the aliens and UFOs exist, or whether they’re terrestrial or extraterrestrial, but rather the public should be demanding full transparency. 

The problem we have now in our society is an out of control federal government that has gotten so big, bloated, and corrupt that it’s clearly reached a point of critical mass which is putting our country at an inflection point. 

In 2024 if we can’t turn this around with the election of a fighter brave enough to take on the Administrative State like Donald Trump then we will go the way of China in terms of the controlled destruction of our country.

The Wrap Up

In short, the inflection point that we find ourselves in involves two things in my opinion. The first is the federal government having grown to be literally 25% of the country’s GDP. My solution to that is that it must change. The federal government must face a significant downsize. 

The second, is that there must be accountability with the corruption that is going on within the federal government and the first step to getting accountability is forcing full transparency. All of this corrupt activity that has been funded by yours and my tax dollars for decades without accountability and has occurred because all of their activity has been cloaked under the veil of secrecy. 

I mean here we are decades later and the feds still keep classified records on the assassinations of JFK, Robert Kennedy, MLK, and Malcom X. They’ve maintained a veil of secrecy and for what reason? I personally don’t believe that reason is for the good of you or me. That’s a weak excuse they use so that they can continue to do things behind closed doors without accountability. 

Just like they’ve kept classified records on the assassination of these men here they’ve been keeping classified records on the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials. Additionally the key element here is that the Zeitgest is telegraphing some moves for us to observe so that we can be better prepared for what’s to come. 

After all, it’s our job to be a Zenith at understanding our environment and that requires effort on our part through the S.A.I.D principle because those that don’t want us to understand the environment clearly want that as they prefer to continue operating their day to day in the shadows.
