Altered State S4 Ep. 9: GDP Grows 4.3% in the 3rd Quarter!

In this Christmas Eve episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine dismantle the latest Epstein-related narratives circulating online, breaking down why the newest claims fall apart under even minimal scrutiny. They walk through how recycled accusations, fabricated letters, and conveniently timed “leaks” are being used as psychological operations to prop up failing narratives, while exposing the mechanics behind how misinformation spreads.

The conversation expands into a deep dive on government corruption and waste through Rand Paul’s Festivus Report, highlighting staggering examples of taxpayer abuse, fraudulent spending, and institutional rot. Brad and Zak also examine broader economic shifts, including tariffs, debt reduction strategies, immigration reforms, and the push to stop financial bleeding at every level of government.

From the Federal Reserve and inflation to border enforcement, cartel money laundering, and the long war beneath the surface of American politics, this episode connects the dots between narrative warfare, financial control, and the dismantling of entrenched power structures.
