Good Morning GoldendalePSA: Making the Transition!Hello friends!
I have been operating GoldendaleMatters.com and TheTorchReport.com simultaneously for months now. What started out as the Good Morning Goldendale podcast has grown into a national audience that reaches all four corners of the country. The growth has been exciting and I am grateful for the support and encouragement from the local community!
It takes a lot of time and effort to keep both sites current and up and running, so I've been gradually transitioning toward making The Torch Report my primary site. It's based on the Substack platform, which is where "...

Good Morning GoldendaleEp. 104 - Fact-Checking the Food Supply Fires?Who fact-checkers the fact-checkers?
Why anyone trusts the "fact-checkers" baffles me. While it is true that there are fact-checkers who are ostensibly unbiased, the truth remains that these organizations are run by human beings who act according to their own personal convictions. Furthermore, when placed in the context of the broader conversation, fact-checkers invariably come down on one side of the political spectrum or the other. There is no neutral ground.
What fact-checkers really do, is provide people cheap confidence that their ill-formed, ignorant perspectives are backed by ideologically driven propaganda. I know it sounds...
2022-04-2716 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 103 - Poking the Russian BearExactly two months ago, after conducting extensive research and preparing the Ukraine Special Report, I presented patriot club members with 10 pages of historical context and political considerations that cast an entirely different light on the Russia-Ukraine narrative. Revealing the long history of regional tension, rooted in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the report explores how western forces have been trying to stake their claim in Ukraine for decades.
After a series of suspicious "revolutions" -- like the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 -- it became clear that the Ukrainian people were deeply...
2022-04-2618 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 102 - A Crash Course In PropagandaToday's podcast is going to be a little longer on audio and shorter on written word.
To understand how the globalists are controlling the narrative, take a look at the information being pumped out of the World Health Organization for World Immunization Week:
WHO World Immunization Week
WHO Media Propaganda Kit
WHO Controlling Risk Perception
WHO Infodemic Management Conference
WHO Training to Combat Misinformation
WHO Guidance to Keep Leaders in Lockstep
This is world-class propaganda. Clicking through those links, noting the language, the eye catching graphics, and the underlying intent to control the flow of...
2022-04-2521 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 101 - The Taste of Humble PieYesterday I was wrong.
In all the excitement of prepping for the 100th episode of the Good Morning Goldendale podcast, I had gone to my bookmarked sources of data from the CDC and the World Health Organization. The WHO website was experiencing issues and presented a redirect link. I clicked the link, nabbed the numbers, and ran the calculations -- then I ran my mouth.
Claiming that the U.S. accounted for over half of the world's covid deaths just sounded so good, commonsense escaped me for the moment. I wasn't until I actually listened to the p...
2022-04-2219 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 100 - Shocking Number of U.S. Deaths Revealed!It's shocking really.
*PLEASE NOTE: The numbers below are inaccurate; please click here for corrected calculations.
**Even with the corrected numbers, the US still has a shocking 16% of worldwide deaths.
***Thus, the points made in the podcast are still valid, even with the wrong numbers.
The United States is home to a mere 4% of the world's population. We spend more money on healthcare than any other nation. At 16.9% of GDP our healthcare spending is almost double the average of other developed countries.
Our well-funded, world-class healthcare system has administered more COVID-19...
2022-04-2116 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 99 - Fanning The Flames Of FreedomWhat are we going to do about it?
Liberty loving Americans all across the country can sense that something is wrong. It's been wrong for a long time, and that creeping sense of government overreach has only accelerated since the start of the pandemic. Having recently driven more than 6,000 miles across the country, I can tell you for certain, that people everywhere are asking the very same questions:
What are we going to do about it? What are we going to do about the mask mandates, the vaxx mandates, the forced testing, lockdowns, travel restrictions...
2022-04-2016 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 98 - Hysterical Passengers Afraid of Bare-Face HumansHappy Unmasking Day!
You've probably heard the news: A naive and inexperienced Trump-appointed judicial activist with no medical qualifications has openly defied The Science and struck down the CDC's mask mandates -- prompting wild howls of sacrilege and blasphemy from the Covidian Cult.
U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the CDC improperly failed to justify its continued decision to force the use of masks on planes, trains, and public transit, declaring the mandates to be unlawful, “Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends."

2022-04-1917 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 97 - Have We All Been Deceived?May the wise take note:
"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." -1 Peter 5:8
This powerful passage of the Bible is often used to cast doubt on anyone who has different beliefs. Contemplating this scripture, it occurred to me that everyone seems to believe that everyone else is being duped by clever lies from the opposing side. Not only does this create a great deal of uncertainty, it also stokes division and hostility that rips at the fabric of society.
Think about it...
2022-04-1816 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 96 - Why Are They Extending The Emergency?It’s all about mindset.
Perhaps you missed the fact that the Biden administration just extended the COVID-19 Emergency for another 90 days. One might suspect this is do the the increasing case counts associated with the new and more viral BA.2 variant that is sweeping the nation, and the list of high profile infections coming out of Washington DC — however, there are other reasons.
But, before we consider other underlying motivations, let’s look at a few numbers:
As of today, April 15th, 2022, after 25 months of pandemic, the CDC reports there have been 984,744 deaths associated...
2022-04-1516 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 95 - Satirically Sifting Through Headline NewsWhere the focus goes, the energy flows.
This is a tenant of martial arts, at it is widely applicable to everyday life -- even in making sense of the news and media propaganda. Using the tool of intelligent inquiry, the curious mind may ask questions that slice through the fluff and discover the substantive issues concealed by the illusion of crafted narrative.
This is an essential step in solving the problems that seem to be plaguing every aspect of society. We cannot solves problems if we do not understand the dynamics at play. Even worse...
2022-04-1415 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 94 - The Foundation of Our FutureWe have a choice to make.
Being indecisive is a common affliction. It can be very difficult to figure out what the best decision is, especially in chaotic and challenging times. Sometimes we have to choose the hard right over the easy wrong, but in every case, we have to know why we are making any particular choice.
Many times, we are quick to get lost in amidst too many options -- too many "What ifs" and "What abouts" clutter our thinking and we cannot see clearly what is most important to consider. To simplify...
2022-04-1323 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 93 - One Agenda To Rule Them AllDid you miss it?
In celebration of World Health Day, April 7th 2022, the WHO is making a full-court press to capitalize on what they've determined are the positive aspects of destroying life as we know it.
Citing "opinion polls from around the world," the WHO claims that people want to "preserve the positives" from the pandemic so that together we can save the planet:
"The lockdown measures that have been necessary to control the spread of COVID-19 have slowed economic activity, and disrupted lives - but have also given some glimpses of a possible...
2022-04-1217 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 92 - The Battle Of BeliefsWhat do you believe?
"High gas prices? That's just what we need!" -- coming from the cover of the Seattle Times, I believe these words capture the great disconnect between reality and radical progressive politics. Writing for the Times, John Talton goes on to educate the uneducated conservative peasants of the world:
"The biggest paradox of the moment is Americans complaining about high gasoline prices while climate change is growing worse. ... Yet carbon — of which Happy Motoring is among the worst offenders — needs to be priced high enough to keep it in the ground instead of burn...

Russian Atrocities Shock the World
Grisly Images From Hell in Bucha
Biden: Try Putin For War Crimes

Now, despite being the talk of town, that's not the big news. As the MSM blathers on about alleged war crimes, building the case for even stiffer sanctions, and ratcheting up rhetoric to fever-pitch levels, there is anothe...
2022-04-0517 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 90 - You THINK It Will Never Happen?Anything is possible.
Especially in times of crisis. Especially when the government is trying to protect us. After all, what could possibly be more important than saving lives and preventing unnecessary death?
Is individual liberty more important than someone else's life? Is personal freedom more important than the greater good? Is medical autonomy, bodily integrity, or personal choice more important than what government officials claim is best for you, your children, or our community?
The reality is that different people answer these questions in different ways. There is an ideological divide, rooted in...
2022-04-0424 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 89 - The Greatest Economy Ever?"It's the economy stupid."
That phrase is attributed to James Carville, who in 1992 was the campaign strategist for Bill Clinton. In an interesting 2012 article from the Harvard Political Review, this point is applied to then vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden's debate performance. It was a left-on-left conflagration:
"Our disastrous economic and fiscal situation jeopardizes America’s well-being in a way that no other issue does. Yet our vice president’s most memorable contributions to this last debate concerned religion and bygone Supreme Court decisions."
Coming from the pages of a leftist institution, I find it interesting that...
2022-04-0118 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 88 - The Toppling of RegimesCrisis clutters thinking.
When there are too many things moving in too many different directions, the mind becomes scattered and begins to lose track of details. This is why politicians never let a good crisis go to waste. The fact that times of crisis tend to short-circuit critical thinking has not been overlooked, but instead, it’s actively being exploited through the fomenting of a perpetual cycle of crisis perpetrated by the global elite.
With that in mind, let's examine this little gem from Tucker Carlson, who brought to light telling comments made way back in 2014, w...

That line comes from an article in the Atlantic titled: Why Are People Acting So Weird?

2022-03-3018 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 86 - Who, What, & Why Do We Believe?Just because you believe it, doesn't make it true.
This is a quintessential realization that unfortunately seems to escape the average person much of the time. Rather than scoff at the oversight, it would be wise for us all to accept the reality that this is all part of the human condition. We all believe we are right -- otherwise we wouldn't believe what we believe!
There is a deep and profound truth here, that cuts to the heart of current affairs: We get to choose what we believe in. This should be an incontrovertible s...
2022-03-2920 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 85 - Is The Joke On Us?Remember 2019?
It's seems like ages ago, I know... but it would be prudent to review a few of the more riveting headlines:
The Mueller Report -- After nearly two years of investigating the Trump-Russia conspiracy, spending over $30 million dollars and grilling over 500 witnesses, the much anticipated Mueller Report found there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion or obstruction of justice.
Julian Assange Arrested -- After exposing classified documents that proved war crimes and egregious abuses of government power, the founder of WikiLeaks was arrested in London, and he continues to be held in a maximum security...
2022-03-2818 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 84 - Birds Of A Feather Flock TogetherThere are no coincidences.
Last night I received news that the Lyle city council nearly passed a modified version of the Paris Climate Accords -- until one astute citizen stood up and ask a simple question: What about wood stoves? Building on that, we might ask: Is staying warm more important global warming?
In a delusional obsession to save the planet from the plague of humanity, so-called "progressives" are determined to dictate how every person on the planet gets to live their life. For the global elite, it's more 'rules for thee, but not for...
2022-03-2517 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 83 - The Parade Of CrazyExtracting the narrative from today's headlines, we find the following:
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink declares the Ukraine invasion is accelerating the shift to digital currency, including Central Bank Digital Currencies supported by the supranational IMF.
"Fink has made clear the conflict in Ukrainian is being used as an accelerator to reorganize the global economy as the old world order crumbles and a multipolar world emerges .. and the WEF's agenda of a green new world, more corporate surveillance, and trackable money are inevitable this decade."
This does not come as a surprise, but rather, highlights just...

But, those curious enough to question the narrative will certainly be able anticipate what happens next. Recently we have been talking about the World Economic Forum, the cabal of Young Global Leaders, and the merging of public health with environmental health as the next phase of the Great Reset.
It may seem outrageous to think that anyone one person or group of people is actually actively trying to take over the world -- such extraordinary claims should require extraordinary evidence -- and that is exactly what we will explore...
2022-03-2316 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 81 - What They Are NOT Telling YouThe headlines are full of head-fakes.
Whether it's Russian war crimes, Russian hyper-sonic missiles, Russian forces killing innocent civilians, Russian cyber attacks, or now the news reports that Belarus is "preparing to invade" the Ukraine -- all of this is happening a long way from home. It's not that it doesn't matter, it's just not most important.
Often times, the most important news is what we are not seeing in the headlines. Here are three examples of events that will have a massive impact on every American citizen, that you may not be paying attention...
2022-03-2219 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 80 - Variants, Voting, & Viable SolutionsCOVID-19 is not over.
Dr. Fauci says that the virus has "fooled us before," and even though many people seem grateful that the government has lifted their tyrannical mandates, we need to be prepared to pivot and "re-institute some of those restrictions" at whatever point it becomes politically expedient to do so.
Of course, that's not exactly how he said it.
What are the chances this will happen just before the election? Imagine the public being freaked out about a new, more virulent and deadly variant. Imagine lockdowns and social distancing, along with...
2022-03-2117 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 79 - HEADLINE: "Make Russia Great Again!"Did you catch that?
The liberal media is attempting to convince the American people that President Vladimir Putin is the equivalent of President Donald Trump, and by extension, anyone who supports Trump is essentially supporting a populist Russian tyrant. This convolution implies guilt by association, and more importantly, capitalizes on the delusion that anyone who questions the narrative is a terrorist.
Speaking to an energized crowd of more than 200,000 Russian patriots, Putin declared:
“We have not had unity like this for a long time.”
The Russians erupted in a round of thunderous applause that...

The covid pandemic (aka the "plandemic") was just one step in series steps that are intended to disrupt global society and usher in the New World Order. This is not speculation or conspiracy -- these plans have been in place for decades, perhaps even a hundred years or more.

This paraphrase of recent comments made by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, captures the reality of the world we now live in. What was unthinkable just a few short years ago -- forced masking, lockdowns, forced vaccinations, quarantine camps, etc -- has now become modus operandi for our bloated and power-hungry government.
Here's the quote in context:
“Raising the alert level of Russian nuclear forces is a bone-chilling development,” says Guterres, as he continues to wrap his globalist propaganda in these tantalizing words of assurance: “The prospect of nuclea...

Have you heard about the millions of people all across the country who are fed up with the medical tyranny and gross violations of their constitutional and basic human rights? Did you know people have been rallying all across the country for two weeks, demanding accountability for our corrupt politicians, and showing up en masse to make sure their voices are heard?
There is more happening in any given moment, than any one of us can fully comprehend. Perhaps that's just stating the obvious, but the weight of this truth pressed...

It felt as if this event was destined to be history in the making, like the American people were finally fed up and ready to make stand for freedom.

There are times in life when the path forward is uncertain, unclear, and ultimately unknown. It's scary when our predictable patterns get interrupted, like what's happened over the last two years of covid hysteria. In times like this, it is easy to become paralyzed by fear. What is a person to do?
How do we know if we're on the right path? How do we know for sure that any given path is the best path forward? The short answer is that we must trust. We must move with faith, following an intuitive...

It may seem obvious, but it's worth stating at the outset that evil people do evil things, always for their own selfish gain, and always at the cost of causing harm to other people. This is a fact that will never go away -- there will always be evil in the world, and that is a fact that we all must face.
It's easy to denote our ideological opponents as enemies. It's convenient to cast them as evil characters. And, while we no doubt will find agreement within our...
2022-02-2416 minGood Morning GoldendaleEp. 65 - The Responsibility To ProtectConcepts are contagious.
As I've dug through reams of political treaties, charters, and global agreements, certain patterns have emerged. In particular, the use of language to capture concepts -- a very natural phenomenon -- allows the dissemination of ideas to spread around the globe.
On it's face, this is a fantastic boon for humanity. Sharing information fuels innovation and accelerates inventions. A good example of this is the release of a new COVID-19 vaccine, Corbevax, which recent received EUA in India. But this vaccine comes with a bonus:

Why is that? Because, in theory, war has the finite objective to put an end to conflict. Warring factions finally clash and have it out, and one the dust settles, peace can ensue. It's like the classic school yard scrap, and once all the hooting and hollering is over, everybody just goes home.
Unfortunately, war on the global scale is much more messy. People die. Cities are destroyed. Innocent people suffer. The destruction of war decimates the civilian population, all the while lining the coffers of the war machine...

Everyday we are bombarded with information -- more information that we can possibly process, vet, or fact check. As a result, we find comfort in trusted news sources, such as the Good Morning Goldendale podcast, where real people conduct real analysis, without a hidden agenda.
Allegations of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are lobbed about without any accountability. These labels allow low-information individuals -- those who haven't the time or inclination to think for themselves -- to hide behind the authority of state propaganda.

Joe Biden's voice has been ringing through the Democrat echo-chamber, and seeping into the utter void of rational thought amongst liberal pundits. Consider these quotes:
"This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you," the president said in prepared remarks.

Humanity is messy. The spirit of freedom, the expression of individual liberty, manifests in many forms. The instinctual urge to do things our own way is as undeniable as it is irrepressible.

Today we wake up to the shocking news that the latest and greatest ISIS leader -- Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, his wife and his innocent children -- in a three-story compound somewhere in Syria. The Biden administration believes this will be a big blow to ISIS. I believe they are wrong.
They are fighting against ideas and ideals, love of family and God, the sincerest religious convictions we can imagine. Imagine believing so strongly, that if you set off a bomb and blow up your entire...

Anyone who questions the narrative has been labeled a fool for the past two years. We've been ridiculed and mocked as crazies for pointing out that the "science" is far from settled. But now that narrative is unraveling, even leftist comedian Bill Maher has been bludgeoning liberals -- his primary audience -- for having their "heads up their ass."
School officials please take note.
But this brings up a broader conversation: Who's the fool here? There is no doubt that we, the mere peasants of...

Some people like to say, "I don't care, I've got nothing to hide."
These people are missing the point.
The principled objection to government surveillance -- aka the "Surveillance State" -- is the simple fact that you CANNOT hide, even if you wanted to. That's when things get tricky and icky.
Concerns about unrestricted state surveillance was classically portrayed in George Orwell's famous book 1984, and the movie that was later released. The problems with the surveillance state go much farther than just being spied on...

Driving alone in the car. Walking alone down the sidewalk. Outside at recess. During sporting events. All day, every day at work, at school, and wherever they demand your compliance, we are told: You MUST wear a mask.
It is absurd, asinine, absolutely unscientific, illegal and completely immoral to force people to cover their face and breathe in a toxic petri-dish of bacteria and CO2. Any rational thinking person has known this from the start. And yet, mask lovers persist with their smug sense of superiority to scorn those...

After moving to Small Town USA in the middle of the the covid crisis, I tossed my hat in with the rowdy, rebel rousers, and waved flags along side a small group of passionate patriots who love God and country enough to risk comfort, ridicule, and public shaming. We rallied for medical freedom, confronted local leaders, and warned the public about the tyranny that was overtaking our lives.

None of this is normal behavior.
To put it succinctly, we awoke to a world wherein people are afraid to be human.
Why? While it is important to point out the impact of poisonous and sophisticated state-run propaganda, there is also another factor at play: Stupidity. Public policy and American emotions are being driven by the...

It probably comes as no surprise, but the lies are coming from government officials. This really wouldn't even be news, except that in this case, MILLIONS of Americans have DIED because of the lies.
Straight to the meat of it:
Previously classified documents prove that the government knew cheap anti-viral medications -- like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine -- were identified as "curative" for COVID-19, as early as April 2020.
There have been hundreds of peer reviewed studies, conducted by the most reputable doctors and institutions in the world, that have repeatedly...

Local school policies are an extension of the state's agenda, which is being driven by socialist principles and progressive propaganda. But that's not the problem.
The problem is that people keep playing along with it. Too few people question the policies, understand why they are harmful, and challenge the premise. As such, the state has become emboldened and essentially believes they own our kids. At this point, their power can only be limited by peaceful noncompliance.

As noted yesterday, esteemed vaccinologist Dr. Robert Malone recently spelled out the mechanics of "mass formation psychosis" on the Joe Rogan podcast. He asserts this is what caused a highly intelligent and educated German population to act out insanity.
It's like stage hypnotism, and it's happening here, there, and everywhere, right now:

Here's what every single one of them need to know:
The vaccines do not protect you from COVID-19. Washington Dept. of Health reports there have been 86,237 fully vaccinated people who got sick with covid... 6,898 of them were hospitalized, and 851 of these fully vaccinated people died.
