On this episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes Matthew Raymer—founder of ContentSafe—for a deep dive into the tangled intersections of propaganda, technology, and freedom of speech. Raymer, whose company ContentSafe specializes in protecting creators from deplatforming and shadowbanning, brings firsthand experience from the front lines of digital censorship. As a technologist and advocate for decentralization, his work with the Anti-Censorship Technical Committee centers on supporting privacy and anti-censorship projects to ensure open discourse in a world increasingly threatened by digital suppression. The episode explores the enduring relevance of Jacques Ellul, author of Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes, who argued that propaganda is not just about lies or overt manipulation, but about shaping perceptions and behavior through the integration of individuals into mass society, often using technology as its primary vehicle. Expect a nuanced discussion of Ellul’s theories—how propaganda works both psychologically and sociologically, and how it leverages technology to mold both individuals and the collective consciousness. From there, the conversation widens to examine the uneasy relationship between science, religion, and technology in the age of technocracy. How does the advance of artificial intelligence threaten or enhance religious freedom and individual rights? Recent research suggests that AI and increased digitalization can negatively impact religious liberties and reshape social norms, raising urgent questions about the ethical and political implications of rapid technological change. Raymer and Turner won’t shy away from the most taboo and controversial subjects—those very topics that often trigger shadowbans and algorithmic suppression. They’ll dissect the geopolitics of censorship, the rise of authoritarian and democratic models of AI, and the ongoing struggle to keep the digital public square open to dissenting voices. Tune in for a fearless, wide-ranging conversation that cuts through the noise and challenges the boundaries of what can—and should—be discussed in our increasingly surveilled and censored digital society. ▶Follow & Connect with Matthew Raymer: ✩ ContentSafe ✩ The Anti-Censorship Technical Committee ✩ Twitter ____________________________________________________________________ ▶ GET On-Demand Access for Courtenay's Cognitive Liberty Conference https://cognitivelibertyconference.com ----------------------------------------- ▶ Follow & Connect with Courtenay: https://www.courtenayturner.com ✩ Linktree ▶ Support my work & Affiliate links: ✩Buy Me A Coffee! ✩GiveSendGo ✩Venmo ✩Cash App ✩ Richardson Nutritional Center: (B-17!) ✩ Relax Far Infrared Saunas: (Warm Up!)

On tonight’s episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes Colorado State Representative Ken DeGraaf for an in-depth discussion on the latest legislative battles over parental rights and the controversial push for transgender policies in Colorado. Rep. DeGraaf, a vocal critic of recent state bills, will break down the implications of legislation like HB 1312, which he argues undermines parental authority by requiring courts to consider “misgendering” or “deadnaming” as forms of “coercive control” in custody disputes. According to DeGraaf, these measures could strip custody from parents who do not affirm their child’s chosen gender identity, effectively compelling parents to endorse gender transitions or risk losing their children. The conversation will explore how these legislative efforts, backed by progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups, are framed as anti-discrimination protections but, in DeGraaf’s view, represent a direct threat to family autonomy and children’s safety. He contends that such bills pave the way for irreversible medical interventions on minors—procedures he describes as mutilation and castration—while silencing parental concerns and labeling opposition as hate speech. Listeners will also hear DeGraaf’s perspective on the broader cultural and political climate in Colorado, where parental rights groups have been compared to hate organizations by bill sponsors, further polarizing the debate. Drawing on his experience as a legislator and Air Force veteran, DeGraaf will share why he believes standing up for parental rights is essential in the face of what he calls an “onslaught of leftist legislation”. Tune in for a candid, uncompromising look at one of the most contentious issues facing Colorado families today, only on The Courtenay Turner Podcast. ▶Follow & Connect with Rep.

Get ready for an insightful discussion on the next episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast! Courtenay welcomes back John Klyczek, author of "School World Order", to delve into his latest investigative article, "TrumpED 2025: School Choice Corporatization, Social Impact Finance, and the Dismantling of the Department of Education". In this eye-opening episode, Courtenay and John will unpack the potential implications of the Trump administration's education policies as they align with Project 2025. Discover how the push for "school choice" might not be what it seems, and how it could lead to an expansion of both government and corporate control of schooling. Tune in as they explore: • The proposed dismantling of the Department of Education and its potential replacement with a system of "school choice". • The role of social impact finance and "Pay for Success" (PFS) initiatives in shaping the future of education. • How "Education Savings Accounts" (ESAs) and tax credits could impact private, religious, and home schools, potentially leading to increased government regulation and corporate influence. • The involvement of organizations like the Heritage Foundation and the State Policy Network (SPN) in driving the school choice agenda. • The influence of ed-tech corporations and the data-mining of student information within this evolving landscape. • The connections between these educational reforms and the broader agenda of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and a "technocratic New World Order". Drawing on his extensive research and understanding of the history of education, John Klyczek will provide a critical analysis of these developments, revealing the potential hidden agendas behind the rhetoric of educational freedom. Don't miss this crucial conversation that sheds light on the future of education in America.
