19 JUN 2025 · In this hard-hitting episode of Full Spectrum Frontiers, host Bennett Tanton dives deep into one of the most urgent and underreported national security threats facing America today: the collapse of our domestic defense manufacturing base. For decades, the U.S. outsourced its industrial power in the name of globalization, efficiency, and corporate profit. Now, with rising tensions in China, war in Ukraine, and an increasingly unstable world, we’re waking up to the brutal reality: the United States can no longer build what it needs to fight and win future conflicts. From rare earth minerals and semiconductors to drone parts and guided missile systems, America is dangerously dependent on foreign nations—some of them adversaries—for its defense supply chain. This episode explores:
- The historical unraveling of America’s industrial strength
- Why the CHIPS Act and Defense Production Act (DPA) matter—but might not be enough
- The deeper spiritual and cultural decay tied to our manufacturing collapse
- What it will take to truly rebuild the arsenal of democracy
If you care about sovereignty, preparedness, national resilience, or just want to understand the full-spectrum implications of economic decline, this episode is your wake-up call. 🎧 Subscribe, rate, and leave a review—it helps push this message out to more people who need to hear it.

We’ll explore how local currencies, alternative payment platforms, community-based trade, and new technologies like cryptocurrency all play a role in quietly reshaping American commerce. Tune in to learn how everyday citizens are seeking greater freedom, resilience, and independence in a rapidly changing world.
Key Topics
Mistrust of central institutions and Big Tech
The growth of local self-reliance, from bartering networks to co-ops
Cultural, political, and ideological motivations driving parallel economies
Potential benefits (resilience, autonomy, community) and drawbacks (scale, legalities, polarization)
