Justus Smith: Civilizations Collapse Every 200 Years… Are We Next? | DSH #1786

Last guest at AmFest and it gets WILD. Shawn sits down with Justus Smith (Proverbs Media Group) for a rapid-fire conversation that jumps from civilizational collapse and IQ, to remote viewing, William Cooper, and why the CIA might be the most dangerous institution nobody wants to talk about. They break down the idea that civilizations rise and fall in cycles, how genetics + environment shape behavior, and why the “gap” between elites and everyone else can accelerate collapse. Then Justus goes full deep-end: MK-Ultra, black ops, plausible deniability, “controlled opposition,” and why podcast-era ex-intel guys might be part of the narrative. If you like conversations that feel like a history class + conspiracy thread + culture war debate… this is it.
