Ivan Raiklin - Former Green Beret reveals inside information on U.S. Government Corruption

What if the system isn’t broken — but rigged by design? Ivan Raiklin, former Green Beret, constitutional lawyer, and national security expert, reveals how a small group within the U.S. government, intelligence agencies, and global institutions have systematically undermined the Constitution, corrupted our elections, and hijacked the republic from within.
Raiklin breaks down the blueprint of how power has been centralized over decades — from unconstitutional surveillance and weaponized lawfare to unelected bureaucrats shaping policy without accountability. He also lays out a peaceful, legal path to restoring the Republic, returning power to the people, and dismantling the entrenched networks that profit from endless war and manufactured crises.
Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Ivan E. Raiklin, former Green Beret and Constitutional Attorney Served 25 years in the DOD, Intel and Special Operations Communities and DTRA as an enlisted, officer, civilian, contractor on active duty, reserves and national guard across 5 states: IA, NY, MA, MS, TX and 5 continents in five languages (Russian, Spanish, Arabic, French, English – naturally). Ivan served as a Green Beret Commander countering ISIS in the Middle East, Taliban in Afghanistan, MS-13 in Central America, countering Russian aggression as a military diplomat in the Republic of Georgia. Most recently he was an instructor at the Joint Military Intelligence Training Center teaching the US Intelligence intel community and international partners about intelligence analysis, national security and multinational operations. He has earned the name “Deep State Marauder” and “Secretary of Retribution.”

This conversation pulls back the curtain on record oil and gas royalties, smart investing, and transparent oversight that protect trust lands for future generations.

Dr. Jake Schmitz discusses nutrition and why Medical Dr's aren't best source of information.

On this episode of Open Range, Gary Emineth is joined by Jake Schmitz, a Chiropractor and Doctor of Nutrition, for a hard-hitting discussion that challenges what many Americans assume about healthcare.

So why do so many people trust medical doctors as experts on diet, supplements, and long-term nutritional health? This conversation exposes the gap between conventional medicine and true nutritional knowledge, urging viewers to think critically, ask better questions, and take responsibility for their own health decisions. It’s an eye-opening episode that challenges the status quo and empowers viewers with truth they aren’t hearing everywhere else. #nutrition #wellness #health #diet #healthcare
