Devolution Power Hour Ep. 356: Narrative Traps, Genocide Claims & the Rise of the Alt-Media Battlefield

Badlands Media

In Episode 356 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright unpack Trump’s jaw-dropping Oval Office confrontation with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, where Trump rolls out footage of violent anti-white rhetoric and attacks on farmers, forcing the world to confront the genocide debate in real time. The hosts analyze the media’s panicked response, the theatrical deployment of “content president” optics, and the geopolitical strategy behind Trump’s maneuver.

They then expand into the broader battle space, questioning Trump’s continued engagement with legacy media while dismantling the illusion of their legitimacy. The conversation spans the controlled retreat of the press, the AutoPen pardon scandal, Biden’s cognitive decline, and Trump’s narrative inversion that subtly delegitimizes the Biden presidency, while showing him unexpected sympathy.

Also on deck: Israel’s ongoing Gaza operations, Tim Pool and Charlie Kirk’s media gatekeeping, Theo Von’s unexpected Gaza statement, and General Steve Kwast’s long-overdue mainstream exposure. With biting humor and razor-sharp insights, the episode underscores why independent media, narrative control, and truth-telling, on energy, war, and elections, are more important than ever in the twilight of the old world order.
