two books because what i'm 92 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,680 really hoping to do is kind of stitch 93 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,840 stomachs stitch some of this stuff 94 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:41,360 together particularly 95 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,480 as it's relating to the craziness that 96 00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,000 is unfolding on a 97 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:48,879 daily basis and i love how you're 98 00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:50,239 pulling the lens 99 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:53,599 back to this parapolitical perspective 100 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,480 that is a little bit removed from the 101 00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:58,720 normal kind of conspiracy theory 102 00:04:02,229 --> 00:03:59,439 perspective 103 00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:02,239 but is absolutely essential to 104 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:03,120 understanding 105 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,080 any of this so with that kind of lens 106 00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:08,080 that i've already applied to the thing 107 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,200 tell us about uh these two books that 108 00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,280 people might be interested in 109 00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:15,439 well the first one strange tales was 110 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:17,280 kind of an anthology it was a collection 111 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,239 of essays that 112 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,639 myself and frank zero had written frank 113 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:22,079 did like the introduction and i think 114 00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:22,800 the uh was 115 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:25,840 the rfid chip one uh and then i did 116 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:27,040 three myself 117 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:29,280 one of them was on the uh you know 118 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:31,199 famous or infamous 119 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:33,040 uh point of view melon family of 120 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,320 pittsburgh 121 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,080 uh they've certainly been involved in a 122 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,479 lot of intrigues uh a very wealthy 123 00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:40,240 family of course thomas mellon was the 124 00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:43,040 infamous secretary of treasury during uh 125 00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:44,720 the 1920s leading up to the 126 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,400 can i just interject i just want to make 127 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,479 sure you hit the high levels 128 00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:50,880 because you know for folks who are 129 00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:53,720 coming at this cold 130 00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,880 parapolitical is really really 131 00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:58,639 interesting in terms of where you're 132 00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:00,800 taking that i mean maybe break it down 133 00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:01,440 at that 134 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:03,880 basic of a level of what does 135 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:05,280 parapolitical 136 00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:08,240 mean to you and why would kind of most 137 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,199 people that run across 138 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:11,280 would go oh he's just a conspiracy 139 00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,960 conspiracy theory guy 140 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,400 yeah well yeah yeah well that's actually 141 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,320 what we're trying to like get away from 142 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:18,000 essentially i mean parapolitical was 143 00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:19,680 essentially an attempt to do a more of a 144 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,560 scholarly 145 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:22,400 approach to deep politics i mean it 146 00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:24,639 would be a field that was uh 147 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,600 really pioneered i think uh going into 148 00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:29,440 the 70s by researchers like peter dale 149 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:30,160 scott 150 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:33,440 or alfred mccoy and uh you know you can 151 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,880 sort of see the lineage going on with 152 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:36,560 people like douglas valentine with the 153 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:39,039 great jeffrey bale those types of people 154 00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,560 but essentially i mean it was where you 155 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:42,240 were actually doing your research you 156 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:42,880 know 157 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,240 i mean one of the things that i've 158 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:46,160 learned doing this about 10 you know for 159 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:47,919 10 years or so now that i mean the 160 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:48,800 really 161 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,479 stories are not the ones that you're 162 00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:54,720 going to find necessarily online and 163 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:57,199 youtube videos or even in books frankly 164 00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:57,759 i mean they're 165 00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:00,160 going to be in private papers that are 166 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:01,440 stashed away at all these different 167 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:03,280 universities across the country they're 168 00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:04,800 going to be in personal interviews with 169 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:06,319 some of these characters 170 00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,840 but i mean that's where you find the 171 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,680 stuff that nobody's ever really heard of 172 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:11,360 before and that's really 173 00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:13,520 to me the essence of true research i 174 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:15,039 mean it's not just you know looking at 175 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,000 some of the you know 176 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:18,000 time-warned droves conspiracy culture 177 00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:19,600 like the old apparel horse and using 178 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:21,840 that as a citation over and over again 179 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:24,080 it's doing a legitimate and original 180 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:25,440 research to try to bring 181 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:27,120 new perspectives into a lot of these 182 00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:28,479 topics and that to me is what 183 00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:29,520 differentiates 184 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:32,160 politics from conspiracy theory you know 185 00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,000 i absolutely agree with you 186 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:36,080 but i'd add something else because i 187 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:37,840 think there's so much more 188 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:40,880 to what uh you're doing here 189 00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,800 in the i know maybe so much more is 190 00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:44,319 maybe a little bit too much 191 00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:48,080 but just to me there's a lens focus kind 192 00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,160 of shift in that we live 193 00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,639 i think we've we've now adapted to the 194 00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:57,039 parapolitical culture that we live in 195 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:57,680 you know 196 00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:00,000 i'm an older guy than you are so i 197 00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:01,680 remember back you know the jfk 198 00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:05,680 assassination we ground on that you know 199 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:08,160 all the books and the doubts and all 200 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:08,800 that stuff 201 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:12,400 for years and years and years jfk 202 00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:15,440 is parapolitical it always was 203 00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:16,560 parapolitical 204 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,599 but we never had that lens so i think 205 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:21,120 then we lived through that 206 00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:24,560 and we got into this conspiracy you know 207 00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:27,039 famous bush up there kind of laying out 208 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,560 the word you know don't believe these 209 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:30,960 conspiracy kind of things and we shifted 210 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:34,000 and i think what you're doing is 211 00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:36,160 bringing that shift back and saying you 212 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:37,919 know really this is the only way to look 213 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,160 at 214 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:40,000 any of this stuff is through this 215 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:41,520 paraplegic and you're living in a 216 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,199 parapolitical world 217 00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,360 that's what i see you saying so to me 218 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:47,520 it's not even so much that we have to 219 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,840 uh throw things away because they're too 220 00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:51,280 conspiratorial or 221 00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:53,360 they're citing the same references over 222 00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,319 and over again 223 00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:56,800 to me what you're really doing is a lens 224 00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:58,080 change and saying 225 00:08:01,589 --> 00:08:00,879 wait all this stuff that you think is 226 00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:01,599 real 227 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:05,680 engineering it's mind games it's 228 00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,160 all this psyop kind of stuff what do you 229 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:10,240 think about that lens 230 00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,720 shift kind of thing well i mean 231 00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:14,560 certainly i think in my case really 232 00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:16,560 that's what i've been trying to do a lot 233 00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:18,479 i mean especially relatively recently 234 00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:19,680 and trying to actually look 235 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,360 more at um conspiracy culture itself 236 00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:25,120 because i mean it's very much a part of 237 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,879 all of this i mean as much as anything 238 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:28,080 and i mean it's really been 239 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:29,759 instrumental i think in fragmenting the 240 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:32,000 world view of civilization as a whole 241 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:33,200 you know which we're definitely living 242 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:35,120 in right now very much 243 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,719 uh it's you know it's frankly been 244 00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:38,560 terrible consequences in that sense and 245 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:40,240 that's one of the reasons why 246 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,919 i've been trying to put such an emphasis 247 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:43,120 on that because i want people to 248 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,880 understand how all these psychological 249 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,959 work their operations you know function 250 00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:48,480 and how they affect us and how they 251 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:49,760 affect the different narratives that 252 00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:52,160 shape our reality essentially 253 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,240 that's a great point and with that maybe 254 00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:56,240 i'd bring you back to this 255 00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:58,320 this book the strange terror tales of 256 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:01,120 the parapolitical because 257 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:03,360 one of the things you do in there and 258 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:05,040 it's kind of an interesting 259 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:08,399 contrast to the epstein book because the 260 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:09,040 new 261 00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:11,279 epstein book which you know we're 262 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:12,880 recording this 263 00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:15,440 october 23rd and that is supposed to 264 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,320 drop 265 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:18,399 and people can find it on your website 266 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:19,600 like 267 00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:21,920 when in a week or two kind of thing yes 268 00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:23,600 yes hopefully within the next week or 269 00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,399 two 270 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:26,000 but so we'll definitely get it out 271 00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:27,600 before the election 272 00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:29,839 yeah that would be that would be a must 273 00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:32,160 but the interesting thing i find between 274 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:33,440 these two books 275 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,200 is if there are these lingering doubts 276 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:39,839 among people the advantage of the 277 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:41,920 strange tales of the parapolitical 278 00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,880 is that it isn't rolling out in real 279 00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,480 time like the epstein book 280 00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:47,839 you know even though you're going back 281 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,480 and tracing the history of it 282 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:52,480 back to the 60s and even before that 283 00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:54,720 it's it's rolling in real time 284 00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:57,839 i mean maxwell's still in prison you 285 00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:58,160 know 286 00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:00,240 but that thing hasn't been resolved this 287 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:01,760 one because 288 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:04,800 you look at like post-war nazis down in 289 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,120 south america and all the shenanigans 290 00:10:12,190 --> 00:10:09,600 they played clearly with the cia 291 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:12,200 we have a little bit of a of a 292 00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:13,680 historical 293 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:16,000 distance from it and when you start 294 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:17,760 laying out the evidence which is 295 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:18,959 undeniable 296 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:21,600 i think it's it it's kind of harder for 297 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:22,880 people to reject 298 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:26,160 that the premise of it that this is 299 00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:28,000 what's in play and this is how you have 300 00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:29,360 to look at this stuff 301 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,279 compared to like i say the new book 302 00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,120 epson we have lived through it 303 00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:35,600 but i think we're still kind of in shock 304 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:36,959 about it yeah 305 00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:38,160 well that was you know one of the 306 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,320 reasons too why i did try to uh 307 00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,160 focus essentially so much on that whole 308 00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,000 period between the 1930s and 309 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:46,240 1960s where you know sort of the genesis 310 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:47,680 of epstein's network 311 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:49,120 came from in the first book because i 312 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:51,040 mean that is something that we do have a 313 00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:52,880 certain advantage of time that's passed 314 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:54,240 and there has been a lot of different 315 00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:55,440 works now that have been published 316 00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:57,200 especially in regards to perfumo because 317 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:58,240 that's 318 00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:00,240 it's such an enigmatic scandal it's 319 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:02,240 really very much like the uk's jfk 320 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,320 assassination it's never really been 321 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,480 satisfactory explained and now we do 322 00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:08,240 have those so many different testimonies 323 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,240 regarding it so you do have a certain 324 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,480 advantage in reconstructing events now 325 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:15,200 tell people the basics on that and then 326 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:16,720 i think they'll see the links but then 327 00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:18,399 the links to how it 328 00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:19,920 goes all the way forward to what we're 329 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:21,440 living in now 330 00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:23,519 well perfumo was a scandal that broke 331 00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,079 out in 1963 it had its origins though 332 00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:28,560 about two years earlier in 61 333 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,000 and it basically involved a love 334 00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:31,920 triangle uh involving a woman named 335 00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:33,600 christine keeler who was having an 336 00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:34,480 affair with 337 00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:37,200 um john perfumo who was a member of uh 338 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,800 harold macmillan the prime minister's 339 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:39,920 cabinet 340 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:42,959 and um yuri ivanov who was 341 00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:45,839 a soviet naval attache there and also a 342 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,640 gru 343 00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,800 agent on the side which is uh russia's 344 00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,800 uh still actually the principal military 345 00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,320 intelligence division 346 00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:54,320 and um obviously this created some 347 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:56,079 issues you now essentially had a 348 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:57,440 prominent british official who was 349 00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:58,720 having affair with the woman who was 350 00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:59,120 also 351 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:01,600 sleeping with a uh you know spy 352 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:02,880 effectively 353 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:04,800 but um you know kind of further mudding 354 00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:06,240 the waters as christine 355 00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,920 was essentially one of the girls for 356 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:09,680 this guy called stephen ward 357 00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:12,800 so-called society osteopath who 358 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:14,160 was well connected throughout the 359 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,000 british establishment and a lot of the 360 00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:18,399 americans were over there as well 361 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:20,399 and that just goes into an incredible 362 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,600 world of these just 363 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:23,839 strange doings with these uh you know 364 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,880 vip sex 365 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,480 rings i mean you see just all these 366 00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:28,000 incredible things i mean some of this 367 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:28,800 weird you know 368 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:31,519 cult stuff frankly uh i mean the 369 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:33,360 indications that the reminders involved 370 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:34,639 in some of this 371 00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:36,160 but i mean it just brings up so many 372 00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,839 different levels and effectively this 373 00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:39,200 you know was instrumental in bringing 374 00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:41,279 down harold mcmillan's government 375 00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,680 in 1963 in the uk when the scandal 376 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:45,440 started to break and then also i think 377 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:46,959 it played a pretty crucial role in the 378 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:49,440 kennedy assassination over here as well 379 00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:51,120 and that's also kind of another angle 380 00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,800 too that i mean americans who have 381 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:54,320 looked at the kennedy assassination 382 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,440 haven't really 383 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:57,120 paid as much attention to as they 384 00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:58,560 probably should have and that was the 385 00:13:00,949 --> 00:13:00,079 goal of foreign governments in it as 386 00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:00,959 well 387 00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:02,480 um certainly i do think you can look at 388 00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:04,079 the elements of the uk being involved 389 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:06,000 probably the israelis as well and so 390 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:07,680 forth but i mean that's kind of like the 391 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:08,880 same thing you're getting at with like 392 00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:10,480 uh you know the uh essay i did in 393 00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:12,000 colonial dignidad for instance in 394 00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:13,839 strange tales it's like 395 00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:16,079 colonia dignidot it's just it's so weird 396 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,600 it almost doesn't seem like a place like 397 00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:19,680 that could even exist in the real world 398 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:22,399 again recluse back up in and talk about 399 00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:23,680 that for people who 400 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:26,560 who are coming at it cold there's also 401 00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:26,959 great 402 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:32,000 documentary doesn't it 403 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:33,680 that or not a documentary it's actually 404 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,279 a movie uh called colonnade 405 00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:37,200 yes yes colony yes this is that was 406 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:38,320 actually a pretty good one too 407 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:40,000 recounting of it but um 408 00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:42,079 yeah it was essentially set up around uh 409 00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:46,240 1959 1960 thereabouts uh dignidad 410 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:49,360 um by what was his name paul schaefer 411 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:51,920 who uh had been some member of the uh 412 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,480 nazi party at some point uh he ended up 413 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:56,320 at setting up essentially this compound 414 00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:57,440 in chile 415 00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:59,120 it was a massive place i think around 416 00:14:01,430 --> 00:14:00,560 three or four hundred acres in its 417 00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:01,440 heyday 418 00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:03,040 essentially you had a whole german 419 00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:04,720 community that was living there 420 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:06,880 um they almost at all immigrated over 421 00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:09,279 witch shaper in the early 60s 422 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:12,399 uh they had you know they were 423 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,000 segregated by the sexes in different 424 00:14:17,829 --> 00:14:16,160 compounds they were 14 hour days 425 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,839 they had these confessional periods that 426 00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:19,440 were kind of like quiet time with the 427 00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:20,000 immoral 428 00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:21,839 armament movement and what's thought 429 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:23,839 that type of thing it was a cult which 430 00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:24,160 is 431 00:14:27,750 --> 00:14:26,720 like key but the the other thing about 432 00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:27,760 it is 433 00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:30,720 it kind of provides again this lens on 434 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:33,040 what the nazis were really all about 435 00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:35,440 and that we sometimes forget it was 436 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:36,800 about total 437 00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:40,160 societal uh control 438 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:43,440 and and and engineering you know at that 439 00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,680 cult level at that deep psychological 440 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:47,040 level probably at 441 00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:50,320 uh an occult level and then 442 00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:52,880 certainly in terms of uh traumatizing 443 00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:53,519 people 444 00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:55,279 with sex and violence and everything 445 00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,440 else i mean it had all the 446 00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:59,600 all the buttons and then you know of 447 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:01,600 course the tie back that you do 448 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,480 in parapolitical is we had absolutely we 449 00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:06,240 as in the united states government 450 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:09,600 had absolutely no problem partnering 451 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:10,560 with these people 452 00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:12,800 learning from these people going oh wow 453 00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:13,839 that's a good one 454 00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:16,880 how can we how can we learn for at your 455 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:20,560 footsteps and how can we bring you in 456 00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:23,199 to do our projects here or do our 457 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:23,839 projects 458 00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:26,320 abroad and that raises all sorts of 459 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,120 questions 460 00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:30,000 not just from a parapolitical standpoint 461 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:31,519 but also you know as we'll get into 462 00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:32,240 later 463 00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,240 from a more deep you know spiritual 464 00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:38,880 kind of what should we be doing that is 465 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:39,600 good and 466 00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:41,519 where should we draw the line between 467 00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:43,440 what's good and bad and moral 468 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:46,560 so i i think you know all these points 469 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,600 that you're raising and that's why i 470 00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:49,519 said this is so deep to get into 471 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:51,680 are all jumping off points for some 472 00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:54,720 really really big questions any thoughts 473 00:15:59,910 --> 00:15:58,240 on on that linkage i mean really you 474 00:16:02,790 --> 00:15:59,920 know getting into this the whole 475 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,800 uh the cold war era i mean really and 476 00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:04,160 this is something again that i mean a 477 00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:05,519 lot of people don't realize but there 478 00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:07,360 really was just this 479 00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:09,360 fascination with using these different 480 00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:11,600 kinds of cults and cult ideologies to 481 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:12,399 advance u.s 482 00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:15,360 policy objectives abroad and um i mean 483 00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:17,279 you know you would reach into the nazi 484 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:18,800 regime for this type of thing but i mean 485 00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:21,120 it was much more universal honestly than 486 00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:22,320 that i mean 487 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,839 one of the more notorious ones that 488 00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:25,839 we've looked at on the farm recently was 489 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:27,040 uh the unification 490 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:29,199 church and i mean you know again this is 491 00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:31,600 another outfit that had all the textbook 492 00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:33,680 hallmarks of cult control i mean when 493 00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:35,199 you really study these things it's just 494 00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:36,399 amazing i mean how many of these 495 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,079 techniques you see over and over again i 496 00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:40,639 mean the 14-hour work days segregation 497 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,880 sexes confessionals public shaming and 498 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:45,040 humiliations and whatnot 499 00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:47,279 uh and it's all rolled out going into 500 00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,480 the cold war 501 00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:49,759 with different groups some of them have 502 00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:51,600 been around like moral armament you had 503 00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,240 people like 504 00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:54,240 moonies you had places like colonial 505 00:16:57,189 --> 00:16:55,279 dignitad 506 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:57,199 possibly scientology there's been a lot 507 00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:58,880 of rumors about that for years i don't 508 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:00,639 know how true it is at this point or not 509 00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:02,320 but you know there are some interesting 510 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:02,720 uh 511 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,199 speculations on that but i mean this 512 00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:06,720 really was the kind of thing 513 00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:09,439 that we embraced you know nominally to 514 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,439 defeat communism whether or not this 515 00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:13,839 purpose is debatable but that's what he 516 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,600 gave as the reason for it 517 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:17,520 and yeah i mean it did have a profound 518 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:19,439 effect on our society because you really 519 00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:20,160 were 520 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:22,079 empowering a lot of these just terrible 521 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,839 and fringe ideologies and 522 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:25,439 a lot of this stuff has corrupted into 523 00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:27,360 society at a more broader level at this 524 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:28,480 point 525 00:17:31,909 --> 00:17:30,720 um you know that was something uh you 526 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:31,919 know with the moonies i hadn't even 527 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,360 really thought of but i mean my friend 528 00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:35,039 keith had pointed out on our podcast i 529 00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:37,039 mean everything from like taekwondo 530 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:40,480 to sushi i mean you know where i want to 531 00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:43,039 tie this back because it ties directly 532 00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:44,720 back to the presentation 533 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:47,840 you recently did on what was the 534 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:51,280 the title of the conspira normal uh 535 00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,480 kind of uh conference that you guys did 536 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:56,080 the virtual conference and you gave a 537 00:18:00,870 --> 00:17:57,280 presentation on 538 00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,880 mk ultra and cybernetics which i thought 539 00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:02,400 was fantastic 540 00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:05,679 and again tied these pieces together 541 00:18:12,789 --> 00:18:09,520 in terms of how the mind control 542 00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:12,799 agenda that we were keen on doing 543 00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:14,880 just kind of ran wild and it was that's 544 00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:16,240 what i think you're alluding to here 545 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:17,360 it's like hey 546 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:19,919 unification church moonies great what 547 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:21,280 are they doing how can we do 548 00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:24,480 how can we profit from what they're 549 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:26,559 learning oh it's abusive to people it's 550 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:28,320 destroying people's lives ah don't worry 551 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,679 about that maybe we can 552 00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:31,280 sprinkle it over here weaponize it over 553 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,549 i don't want to shift gears too much and 554 00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:38,160 bounce all over the place 555 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,280 but maybe tell us because we've talked 556 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:43,679 about mca ultra quite a bit on this show 557 00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,679 how that also has the same 558 00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:49,520 pathway into this because that's when i 559 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:51,120 think you you were alluding to that 560 00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:52,000 right in your brain 561 00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:54,000 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean the 562 00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:55,360 presentation i was doing was called 563 00:18:58,630 --> 00:18:56,720 among the cybermen 564 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,640 uh essentially the secret history of 565 00:19:01,909 --> 00:19:00,160 conspirators 566 00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:01,919 but yeah i mean a lot of this stuff sort 567 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:03,280 of went back to 568 00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:05,280 um the initial macy's conference that 569 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,160 was done in 1942 i believe which was 570 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:10,400 sponsored by the macy foundation 571 00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:12,400 uh which incidentally also later became 572 00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:14,400 a major funding conduit of nk ultra 573 00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:15,200 later 574 00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:16,400 you brought together a lot of these 575 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:18,400 prominent scientists psychologists 576 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,880 this type of thing and this is uh really 577 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:22,480 what produced the whole discipline of 578 00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:23,760 cybernetics which 579 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:25,200 you know as i essentially argued in the 580 00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:27,760 presentation cybernetics is 581 00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,240 a very esoteric i mean almost occultic 582 00:19:33,110 --> 00:19:32,320 ideology i feel like it was essentially 583 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:33,120 a way 584 00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:35,760 much like union psychology that was 585 00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:37,760 devised to rationalize really a lot of 586 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:39,840 what were effectively occult doctrines 587 00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:40,640 and kind of apply 588 00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:42,640 some kind of scientific jargon to it so 589 00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:44,080 that you could get funding for this kind 590 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:45,440 of stuff in a level that was really 591 00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:47,200 unprecedented in human history up to 592 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:48,400 that point 593 00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:50,799 as you point out recluse it's it's not 594 00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:51,679 even 595 00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:54,960 like a leap there i mean you got 596 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:57,200 you got references where they were doing 597 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,600 occult practices they were doing 598 00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:01,840 when we say cold practices i mean they 599 00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:02,960 were trying to 600 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:06,159 summon entities in order 601 00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:09,280 to see if they could affect these 602 00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:11,760 different things it isn't like 603 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:15,120 obscure i mean it it is you know 604 00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:17,200 let's nail nail that down for us again 605 00:20:20,310 --> 00:20:18,640 because i'm kind of vague on 606 00:20:23,669 --> 00:20:20,320 the details but i remember i was stunned 607 00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:23,679 when with the stuff that you had there 608 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:25,919 well i mean really a lot of i mean 609 00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:27,600 really a crucial thing i think to all 610 00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:29,679 this is synchronicity of course that was 611 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:31,919 a big concept in jungian psychology but 612 00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:33,760 i also think cybernetics was offensive 613 00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:35,200 essentially trying to come up with a way 614 00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:35,760 of 615 00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:37,360 explaining this as well through the 616 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:39,360 different orders of cybernetics and so 617 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:40,320 forth 618 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:43,360 but in cybernetics okay essentially 619 00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:45,840 all of the universe different subjects 620 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:47,840 subsections of it are constructed by 621 00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:49,600 feedback and these different loops and 622 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,679 so forth so there's positive feedback 623 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:53,280 there's negative feedback 624 00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:54,640 negative feedback being systems 625 00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:56,400 sustaining positive feedback being 626 00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:57,679 chaotic 627 00:21:01,350 --> 00:21:00,080 law of attraction right yes well that's 628 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:01,360 yeah it really is very much an 629 00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:03,039 explanation of the law of attractions 630 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:04,799 essentially the secret any of that kind 631 00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:05,679 of stuff 632 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,440 but yes every thought every action 633 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:09,120 creates different feedback loops and 634 00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:10,799 they all bounce off of one another and 635 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:12,480 so forth and that's what creates these 636 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:13,679 systems 637 00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:15,039 and then of course you go through the 638 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,640 different orders of cybernetics until 639 00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:18,480 you get to the mysterious third order of 640 00:21:22,630 --> 00:21:19,760 cybernetics 641 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:22,640 and this is when you notice the system 642 00:21:26,549 --> 00:21:24,080 and the system notices you 643 00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:26,559 noticing the system and in theory and 644 00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:27,840 some of these more arcane 645 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:29,600 interpretations of it this is what would 646 00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:30,080 produce 647 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:31,840 a lot of effects of high strangeness 648 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:33,200 this is when you would start having the 649 00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:34,559 poltergeist activities 650 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,720 the ufos and all that other crazy stuff 651 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:38,240 the mechanical elves whatever you want 652 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,720 to say 653 00:21:42,390 --> 00:21:40,720 but i mean that's when things start 654 00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:42,400 getting really weird 655 00:21:45,830 --> 00:21:44,400 and you know it's my belief that 656 00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:45,840 essentially uh 657 00:21:50,549 --> 00:21:47,760 this was really what mk ultra was 658 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,559 devised to explain essentially 659 00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:52,080 these different kinds of cybernetic 660 00:21:55,990 --> 00:21:53,840 principles uh also doing 661 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:56,000 psychology and so forth and how 662 00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:58,320 effectively all these things 663 00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:01,440 affect reality itself more or less 664 00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:02,960 but just to be clear where i was going 665 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:05,039 and correct me if i'm wrong here 666 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:07,840 but so that's your setup if you will 667 00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:08,640 that's your 668 00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:13,280 uh your orientation intellectually 669 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:16,400 academically it's what you're saying in 670 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:18,640 your reports to your superiors as you're 671 00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:19,520 doing this 672 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:21,440 but then when a guy walks in and says 673 00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:23,120 hey i'm a 674 00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:26,159 chaos magician i'm a wizard i'm a 675 00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:27,679 whatever i call myself 676 00:22:33,909 --> 00:22:30,880 i'm wicca whatever and i can make 677 00:22:36,310 --> 00:22:33,919 that happen i can manifest this or that 678 00:22:37,669 --> 00:22:36,320 inside of the framework that you've 679 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:37,679 established 680 00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:39,440 well you can see where someone would be 681 00:22:45,590 --> 00:22:42,400 well god i've kind of already opened 682 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:45,600 opened myself up to wanting to look at 683 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:46,000 that 684 00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:48,960 so let's see if you can play my game and 685 00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:50,799 if you can then 686 00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:53,280 you know i'm in i mean this is a men who 687 00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:54,320 stare at goats 688 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:57,440 kind of thing you know where yeah 689 00:23:01,270 --> 00:22:59,360 i mean absolutely but i mean also though 690 00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:01,280 there is that sort of connection as well 691 00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:03,360 that magic has essentially to 692 00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:05,360 uh public relations uh which was dealt 693 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:07,039 with and what was euros and magic and 694 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:08,080 renaissance and 695 00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:10,640 um psychological warfare for that matter 696 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:12,240 too which is another reason why it would 697 00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:13,360 have been so 698 00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:15,200 fascinating to people involved in this i 699 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:16,720 mean you know just look at um 700 00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:19,200 the roster crucial manifestos okay 701 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:20,960 basically they were alarmed 702 00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:22,960 you know i mean they came out in what 16 703 00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:25,039 10 16 14 or something like that talking 704 00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:26,799 about this great fraternal brotherhood 705 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:28,000 this secret society 706 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:30,720 kind of it existed none of it but then 707 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:32,240 suddenly you have this whole occult you 708 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:33,919 know renaissance now i mean you've got 709 00:23:36,310 --> 00:23:35,440 masons and all these secret orders 710 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,320 everywhere 711 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:38,480 and that in essence is a magical working 712 00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:40,159 because you manifested something that 713 00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:42,080 did not exist previously 714 00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:43,520 and you did it through these you know 715 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:45,120 these documents which were basically 716 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,000 larps 717 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:48,960 well here here's the here's the rub and 718 00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:50,960 again i hope anyone can follow this 719 00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:52,080 conversation because they're going to 720 00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:53,279 bounce all over the place 721 00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:56,080 but one of the central questions for me 722 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:56,880 there 723 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:01,360 reality thing so 724 00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:03,600 you know you kind of played it really 725 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:05,279 straight there in saying 726 00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:07,520 they it was a larp and then they created 727 00:24:12,470 --> 00:24:10,240 it by these documents 728 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:12,480 i might open it up and say did they 729 00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:13,520 create it by 730 00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:17,200 the collective 731 00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:20,240 consciousness of believing it's so 732 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:22,320 and is this kind of a tulpa you know if 733 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,840 you're familiar with the 734 00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:25,840 buddhist tibetan buddhist concept of you 735 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,760 know this thought creation kind of thing 736 00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:30,000 which to me just seems obvious we see it 737 00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:31,360 over and over again 738 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:33,440 especially in this extended realm where 739 00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:34,720 people are contacting 740 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:37,679 spirit entities and they're manifesting 741 00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:39,760 spirit enemies that don't even exist and 742 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:41,440 yet these spirit enemies are coming back 743 00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:42,960 and 744 00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:45,840 now they do exist you know we we did i 745 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:46,960 did a bunch of interviews 746 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:49,840 on this evil thing and you look at satan 747 00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:50,480 that is 748 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:53,919 satan because you look all the way back 749 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:56,159 you know in the the jews and the oldest 750 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:57,840 writings they don't have satan 751 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:00,320 and then zoryasser comes along and and 752 00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:02,320 he you know kind of has this good bad 753 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:03,840 you know kind of thing saying 754 00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:07,120 next thing you know the same stories 755 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:09,840 that were in the old torah you know now 756 00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:11,440 they're showing up again and now a 757 00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:12,080 character 758 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:16,480 but would anyone at this 759 00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:19,440 so it's it's obviously literature to 760 00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:20,400 some degree 761 00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:23,120 but would anyone at this point deny that 762 00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:24,880 there is some 763 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:27,200 satan something that i i shouldn't say 764 00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:28,320 anyone because a lot of people would 765 00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:30,080 deny it but 766 00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:33,440 it also seems definitely a possibility 767 00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:35,919 that we have now through our collective 768 00:25:39,669 --> 00:25:36,640 consciousness 769 00:25:41,669 --> 00:25:39,679 created exactly what we've 770 00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:41,679 talked about for the last two 000 years 771 00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:43,520 and people have put all this energy into 772 00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:43,840 and 773 00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:48,000 that stuff so are we co-creators of this 774 00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:49,760 reality and how do we pull that out of 775 00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:51,360 this whole thing 776 00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:52,880 well i mean yeah it's definitely 777 00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:54,720 something you have to consider i mean i 778 00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:56,240 don't know that 779 00:25:59,510 --> 00:25:58,000 everyone who signed one of this believed 780 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:59,520 that but i mean i do certainly think 781 00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:01,200 that there were some people in very 782 00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:02,640 senior levels of the government in the 783 00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:04,400 intelligence community that did come to 784 00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:06,400 believe very much that we could create 785 00:26:09,909 --> 00:26:08,080 our own realities 786 00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:09,919 by manifesting these beliefs on a 787 00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:11,600 popular enough level in the public at 788 00:26:16,149 --> 00:26:13,360 large i mean it is a 789 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:16,159 fascinating concept but i mean you know 790 00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:18,320 two though it also begs the question is 791 00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:20,559 it just any individual or is it specific 792 00:26:23,669 --> 00:26:22,400 individuals as well i mean i don't know 793 00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:23,679 i'm sure you probably read american 794 00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:24,720 cosmos right 795 00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:27,039 um that's sort of a book where they get 796 00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:28,400 into some of these notions about 797 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:30,000 possibly through being genetic 798 00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:33,039 um you know some kind of genetic code or 799 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:34,400 something like that for people who 800 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:36,240 experience high strangers and that type 801 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:37,039 of thing 802 00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:38,320 i mean i'll tell you something really 803 00:26:42,149 --> 00:26:40,240 weird that sort of relates to this okay 804 00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:42,159 so i'm working on this podcast right now 805 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:44,080 penny royal which is affiliated with uh 806 00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:46,000 the hell your show that's on amazon and 807 00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:46,480 whatnot 808 00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:51,120 had a lot of strange meetings with the 809 00:26:54,789 --> 00:26:53,200 guys who do this the penny royal guys 810 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:54,799 they're a series of synchronicities and 811 00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:55,840 whatnot 812 00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:58,240 but um and talking to them i figured out 813 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:58,880 that 814 00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:00,880 all three of us have been tested uh as 815 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:02,320 gifted children 816 00:27:05,909 --> 00:27:03,840 and that's interesting to me because 817 00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:05,919 gifted testing essentially looks for 818 00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:07,279 students that have unusual high 819 00:27:10,549 --> 00:27:09,039 abilities for pattern recognition 820 00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,559 seeing different things that aren't 821 00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:12,400 usually evident to people in different 822 00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:14,480 disciplines and so forth 823 00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:16,960 so you get people like us involved in 824 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:18,559 something like this and it does kind of 825 00:27:21,190 --> 00:27:19,440 beg the question 826 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:21,200 well is this kind of making the whole 827 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:22,799 experience that we're having looking 828 00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:25,200 into these things even stranger because 829 00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:26,640 we have had a lot of that you know 830 00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:28,240 different leads and researches i mean i 831 00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:29,600 know just talking to the penny royal 832 00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:31,840 guys they start looking at this area 833 00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:33,840 they pick up on one cult possibly being 834 00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:35,600 active here and then after studying it 835 00:27:39,029 --> 00:27:37,279 for almost two years there's like half a 836 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:39,039 dozen cults that they found 837 00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:41,039 so at some point we have sort of stepped 838 00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:42,320 back and wondered 839 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:43,919 were all these cults really here before 840 00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:45,520 we started looking at it 841 00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:48,960 or who knows you know but i mean it is a 842 00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:50,880 strange thing and i do 843 00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:52,799 you know i try to sit on the fence as 844 00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:55,120 much as this as i possibly can 845 00:27:58,230 --> 00:27:56,559 but on the flip side of the coin i've 846 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:58,240 had some strange experiences 847 00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:00,000 this that i have to wonder in some level 848 00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:01,840 how much belief really does manifest the 849 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:04,320 reality that we live in and specifically 850 00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:06,720 is it also particular individuals who 851 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:08,480 are manipulated in the beliefs who have 852 00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,120 a higher 853 00:28:12,389 --> 00:28:11,440 capacity to influence this type of thing 854 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:12,399 as artists or 855 00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:14,640 you know any other type of medium oh but 856 00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:16,799 it is very strange 857 00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:19,360 see that's a super interesting question 858 00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:21,360 isn't it and that's kind of a next 859 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:25,840 level question um which is 860 00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:27,840 unless a next level to me what that 861 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:30,000 means is 862 00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:31,520 once you get past the idea that we're 863 00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:33,279 co-creators of this reality 864 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,559 right which you can sit there and 865 00:28:39,590 --> 00:28:36,720 wrestle someone back and forth 866 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:39,600 but screw that just take that as a given 867 00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:41,360 and now start asking the questions that 868 00:28:46,950 --> 00:28:43,600 you're asking which is just an awesome 869 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:46,960 opening question are some people 870 00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:50,640 more effective at manifesting 871 00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:53,120 a consensus reality that we can all 872 00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:54,480 experience 873 00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:57,279 than other people wow what an 874 00:29:01,029 --> 00:28:58,559 interesting question 875 00:29:01,909 --> 00:29:01,039 and then you you tied it into another 876 00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:01,919 question there 877 00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:05,200 is that you know so you 878 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:07,279 had certain traits when you were born 879 00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:09,919 and they called them gifted 880 00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:14,159 is there possibly a genetic 881 00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:17,279 tie to that correlation to that um 882 00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:20,880 and do multiple people share that 883 00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:24,000 genetic makeup if we were able to look 884 00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:24,480 at it 885 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:26,240 which again to me you know we can't 886 00:29:30,870 --> 00:29:27,840 avoid the uh 887 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:30,880 the et ufo thing and 888 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:33,120 it always surprises me when that doesn't 889 00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:35,840 come into these conversations because 890 00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:37,520 it's so front and center i don't know 891 00:29:41,669 --> 00:29:39,120 how we're leaving it out so 892 00:29:43,190 --> 00:29:41,679 one of the things i pinged you with 893 00:29:44,710 --> 00:29:43,200 beforehand 894 00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:44,720 because we're going to talk about this 895 00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:46,640 and i don't know where you're at 896 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:49,760 on this so i thought it'd be interesting 897 00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:53,440 but i interviewed ufo researcher grant 898 00:29:56,789 --> 00:29:55,120 cameron i've interviewed him several 899 00:29:58,149 --> 00:29:56,799 times i kind of pissed him off the last 900 00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:58,159 time so i don't know if we'll 901 00:30:02,789 --> 00:30:01,279 do it again but he's done some fantastic 902 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:02,799 work over the years 903 00:30:06,149 --> 00:30:04,480 but one of the things that he did that 904 00:30:09,830 --> 00:30:06,159 always stuck with me 905 00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:09,840 is he along with the 906 00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:13,679 late great uh stanton freeman who 907 00:30:17,350 --> 00:30:15,279 recently passed away 908 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:17,360 did a freedom of information act in 909 00:30:21,269 --> 00:30:18,480 canada 910 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:21,279 and it's kind of like i i'm sure you've 911 00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:23,360 done a lot of foia requests i have not 912 00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:23,840 but 913 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:25,200 you know every once in a while you get a 914 00:30:28,389 --> 00:30:27,120 little gem that just pops up and these 915 00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:28,399 guys got a gem 916 00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:31,760 when the wilbert smith memo was released 917 00:30:34,389 --> 00:30:33,520 and wilbert smith was kind of running 918 00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:34,399 the strange 919 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:37,200 desk in canada if you will at the time 920 00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:38,080 in the 50s 921 00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:41,200 so this is where all the supposedly just 922 00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:43,520 radio waves and stuff were thing but he 923 00:30:47,029 --> 00:30:45,520 was also getting all the ufo reports 924 00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:47,039 so the weirdest i mean those were the 925 00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:48,720 guys specifically tasked 926 00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:50,320 i think really was trying to understand 927 00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:51,760 a lot of this phenomena in the first 928 00:30:54,789 --> 00:30:53,360 place i mean that in itself is very 929 00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:54,799 significant 930 00:30:59,029 --> 00:30:57,200 absolutely and and so i'm just gonna 931 00:31:00,549 --> 00:30:59,039 retell this story for the benefit of the 932 00:31:02,230 --> 00:31:00,559 audience even though a lot of people 933 00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:02,240 listen this show i've heard it 50 times 934 00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:03,039 before 935 00:31:07,990 --> 00:31:06,320 but wilbert smith is there and so he 936 00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:08,000 starts collecting all the the reports 937 00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:09,440 are landing on his desk and eventually 938 00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:11,600 goes to his bus and he goes 939 00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,960 we gotta figure you know something's 940 00:31:16,789 --> 00:31:14,880 going on here how about 941 00:31:17,990 --> 00:31:16,799 you know we go talk to the yanks and see 942 00:31:20,950 --> 00:31:18,000 what they know 943 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:20,960 and so he goes yeah let's do it so he 944 00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:22,640 starts sharing stuff and that's probably 945 00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:24,399 the only reason they let him in the tent 946 00:31:29,590 --> 00:31:26,159 down here in the united states 947 00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:29,600 is he she shared some [\h__\h] and they were 948 00:31:32,230 --> 00:31:30,399 like whoa 949 00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:32,240 come on down you got some good stuff 950 00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:34,240 that we want too so he goes down he 951 00:31:36,789 --> 00:31:34,640 meets 952 00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:36,799 all the the right people band of our 953 00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:37,679 bush and 954 00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:40,640 you know he names names in this secret 955 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:42,320 memo that is later released 956 00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:44,159 but the other thing he releases in this 957 00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:46,159 memo which ties back 958 00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:49,200 to i guess the cybernetics mk 959 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:51,200 ultra you know what these guys were 960 00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:52,640 really up to thing 961 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:56,240 he said to not bury the lead his memo 962 00:32:02,789 --> 00:31:59,440 is that ufo thing is real 963 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:02,799 e.t is real it is the highest 964 00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:06,000 most important most secret secret 965 00:32:10,549 --> 00:32:08,320 that the u.s has higher than the 966 00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:10,559 hydrogen bomb so imagine the 50s this is 967 00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:11,360 like 968 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:13,440 say higher than hydrogen bomb you're up 969 00:32:19,269 --> 00:32:16,240 there but then in the last 970 00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:19,279 sentence what these guys picked up on is 971 00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:21,840 that it has something to do with a 972 00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:22,880 mental 973 00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:26,640 phenomenon now that 974 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:29,760 catapults us into a different 975 00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:32,880 kind of space what it says is that 976 00:32:37,110 --> 00:32:36,320 they had made contact with e.t and made 977 00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,120 contact 978 00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:39,440 at this telepathic level although we're 979 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:40,960 not even sure that that's the right word 980 00:32:43,590 --> 00:32:41,600 for it 981 00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:43,600 but in this extended realm they had 982 00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:46,240 connected with e.t 983 00:32:50,789 --> 00:32:48,480 and that they believed that it was 984 00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:50,799 necessary to better understand that 985 00:32:54,710 --> 00:32:52,000 extended realm 986 00:32:55,990 --> 00:32:54,720 because this was both a threat and an 987 00:32:59,029 --> 00:32:56,000 opportunity like these guys 988 00:33:02,950 --> 00:32:59,039 always look at everything and so 989 00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:02,960 grant's view is in and really my 990 00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:05,360 i've kind of pushed this is that that 991 00:33:09,990 --> 00:33:06,720 has to be 992 00:33:12,870 --> 00:33:10,000 factored into the equation with mk 993 00:33:13,830 --> 00:33:12,880 ultra that that had to be maybe one of 994 00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:13,840 the agendas 995 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:16,159 in terms of we got to figure this out 996 00:33:19,909 --> 00:33:17,760 because 997 00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:19,919 we're already talking to et and we ain't 998 00:33:26,549 --> 00:33:23,600 talking through them through no radio 999 00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:26,559 oh yeah absolutely well i mean again you 1000 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:27,200 know 1001 00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:30,000 my kind of working theory on the the 1002 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:32,000 obsession with the ufo phenomenon sort 1003 00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:33,760 of ties into what we've been discussing 1004 00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:35,039 about um 1005 00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:37,840 belief potentially manifesting reality 1006 00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:38,640 see there were 1007 00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:40,399 two really excellent books that were 1008 00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:42,480 written by um 1009 00:33:46,389 --> 00:33:44,720 james carrion i believe his name is one 1010 00:33:48,470 --> 00:33:46,399 is the rosetta deception and the other 1011 00:33:51,269 --> 00:33:48,480 one is the roswell deception 1012 00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:51,279 and he does a really great job of laying 1013 00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:52,799 out how some of these early ufo 1014 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:54,960 encounters were effectively uh deception 1015 00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:56,399 operations that the us 1016 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,799 and the uk were running and specifically 1017 00:34:01,269 --> 00:34:00,720 with the ghost rocket flap that you had 1018 00:34:04,789 --> 00:34:01,279 in the 1019 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:04,799 aftermath of the second world war 1020 00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:05,519 basically 1021 00:34:08,950 --> 00:34:08,000 to convince the soviets that there were 1022 00:34:10,869 --> 00:34:08,960 these you know 1023 00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:10,879 super weapons this actually terrestrial 1024 00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:12,399 race and what have you around so that 1025 00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:14,079 they would you know invest tons of money 1026 00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:15,440 looking into this and 1027 00:34:18,550 --> 00:34:17,200 i know that sounds outlandish but this 1028 00:34:19,909 --> 00:34:18,560 is the type of thing that we really did 1029 00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:19,919 throughout the cold war i mean the 1030 00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:21,280 strategic defense initiative for 1031 00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:22,399 instance we never really thought 1032 00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:23,679 work it was just a way to get the 1033 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:25,679 soviets to waste money 1034 00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:27,280 okay so we're doing all these deception 1035 00:34:30,389 --> 00:34:28,960 operations and at the highest levels of 1036 00:34:31,909 --> 00:34:30,399 government you know we know these things 1037 00:34:33,430 --> 00:34:31,919 aren't real right 1038 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:33,440 but then i think something happened that 1039 00:34:38,149 --> 00:34:35,119 really shook everybody 1040 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:38,159 they actually started to appear nobody 1041 00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:38,639 had 1042 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:41,679 any idea why they were showing off 1043 00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:43,200 because they weren't supposed to exist 1044 00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:44,960 we knew that they weren't supposed to 1045 00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:46,000 exist 1046 00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:47,440 and this was roughly right around the 1047 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:48,800 time when you start seeing all these 1048 00:34:53,669 --> 00:34:51,520 projects initiating chatter bluebird 1049 00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:53,679 uh the early ones initially with the 1050 00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:55,200 navy and then going into the 1051 00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:57,040 ultra stuff and so forth and it's also 1052 00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:58,800 when a lot of these weird desks started 1053 00:35:01,430 --> 00:35:00,000 to show up too which 1054 00:35:03,589 --> 00:35:01,440 were never designed to just look at the 1055 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:03,599 ufo stuff but all kinds of unusual and 1056 00:35:06,630 --> 00:35:04,880 unexplainable phenomenon 1057 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:06,640 essentially kind of x-files divisions 1058 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:08,000 for each you know major branch 1059 00:35:13,109 --> 00:35:11,280 us intelligence services so 1060 00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:13,119 you realize essentially that something 1061 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:15,200 exists now that's not supposed to exist 1062 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:16,720 and probably one of the most logical 1063 00:35:18,790 --> 00:35:18,000 explanations would have been this that 1064 00:35:20,550 --> 00:35:18,800 belief 1065 00:35:21,589 --> 00:35:20,560 factored into it i mean this was already 1066 00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:21,599 something that you're starting to see 1067 00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:23,760 currents pop up in psychology and so 1068 00:35:26,069 --> 00:35:24,640 forth 1069 00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:26,079 so i mean the next step from there 1070 00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:27,680 probably would have been logically to 1071 00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:29,599 see if you could actually contact us i 1072 00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:30,960 mean why not right 1073 00:35:33,829 --> 00:35:32,160 and if you're already doing it through 1074 00:35:35,030 --> 00:35:33,839 all these kind of kooky beans you know 1075 00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:35,040 going into stuff about belief 1076 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:36,720 manifesting things well 1077 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:38,400 who would be the people who would best 1078 00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:40,800 understand how to rationalize this and 1079 00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:42,640 contact something like that 1080 00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:44,400 well magicians you know they had already 1081 00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:45,920 been talking a lot about how belief 1082 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:47,680 could be used to manifest reality for a 1083 00:35:50,950 --> 00:35:49,119 long time now 1084 00:35:52,470 --> 00:35:50,960 so that's when i think you start seeing 1085 00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:52,480 all these weird characters get brought 1086 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:53,920 in i mean you have guys like katrina 1087 00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:54,640 kuharik 1088 00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:56,400 um the guy who would channel the nine 1089 00:35:58,710 --> 00:35:58,000 the so-called seance that changed the 1090 00:35:59,990 --> 00:35:58,720 world 1091 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:00,000 was put onto that path by a 1092 00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:02,560 cyberneticist so i think that's sort of 1093 00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:03,839 where we got into some of this 1094 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:06,320 stuff could we also contact these you 1095 00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:08,079 know so-called non-human intelligence or 1096 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:09,760 what have you 1097 00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:12,320 see the problem i have with that is i 1098 00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:13,200 think that the 1099 00:36:18,069 --> 00:36:16,480 evidence for the ancient alien theory 1100 00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:18,079 for lack of a better term and 1101 00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:19,359 a lot of people hate that because they 1102 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:21,599 hate the show i don't hate on the show i 1103 00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:23,280 think the show really kind of did a lot 1104 00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:23,839 of good 1105 00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:29,760 the evidence for that really stacks up 1106 00:36:34,950 --> 00:36:31,520 to the point of being 1107 00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:34,960 overwhelming particularly when you go to 1108 00:36:41,270 --> 00:36:38,240 cross culture cross time you know 1109 00:36:43,109 --> 00:36:41,280 and you go and you look at these tribes 1110 00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:43,119 in africa that have no contact with the 1111 00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:44,880 outside world and don't have a written 1112 00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:46,880 language and say yeah you know they're 1113 00:36:49,910 --> 00:36:48,720 wearing the headgear and the spacesuits 1114 00:36:52,950 --> 00:36:49,920 and they're 1115 00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:52,960 pointing to the pleiades and saying well 1116 00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:54,800 yeah yeah yeah and i don't necessarily 1117 00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:56,560 think that it does discount prior 1118 00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:58,480 contact with the same entities either 1119 00:37:01,990 --> 00:37:00,560 before you know the cold war era but see 1120 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:02,000 something else i'll point out with that 1121 00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:02,880 as well 1122 00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:04,720 when you get into these early deception 1123 00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:06,560 operations they grew out of 1124 00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:08,160 a lot of the british efforts and what 1125 00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:10,079 have you that were organized around 1126 00:37:13,270 --> 00:37:12,240 the political warfare executive and so 1127 00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:13,280 forth 1128 00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:15,040 and you know a lot of guys involved in 1129 00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:16,480 that were people like 1130 00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:19,760 his name ronald ian fleming um 1131 00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:21,280 people that were in contact with a lot 1132 00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:23,280 of proliaits or people that knew a lot 1133 00:37:26,150 --> 00:37:24,640 of prominent occultists who were 1134 00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:26,160 initially tapped with doing these 1135 00:37:29,349 --> 00:37:27,760 deception operations 1136 00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:29,359 it kind of begs the question where were 1137 00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:30,960 they always magical workings in the 1138 00:37:34,310 --> 00:37:32,800 first place and their superiors had no 1139 00:37:36,069 --> 00:37:34,320 idea that they were 1140 00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:36,079 i mean certainly this is also concurrent 1141 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:37,680 around the same time that jack parsons 1142 00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:39,359 is out there going to babylon working 1143 00:37:43,349 --> 00:37:40,880 and so forth 1144 00:37:44,790 --> 00:37:43,359 so i mean i don't i personally don't 1145 00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:44,800 think the belief alone is what 1146 00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:46,720 manifested the things i think that they 1147 00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:47,359 definitely 1148 00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:49,680 existed prior to that because it's like 1149 00:37:54,550 --> 00:37:50,960 i fast forward to 1150 00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:54,560 um have you read uh diana walsh 1151 00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:57,359 posalka's book american cosmetics oh 1152 00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:58,000 yeah 1153 00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:59,920 so did you do a show have you ever 1154 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:01,280 talked to her 1155 00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:02,880 no no i would like to at some point i've 1156 00:38:05,190 --> 00:38:04,160 been telling her agent about that for a 1157 00:38:07,109 --> 00:38:05,200 little bit now 1158 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:07,119 yeah you know she was doing she did an 1159 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:08,480 interview with me back when she was 1160 00:38:10,630 --> 00:38:09,839 doing more interviews and then i think 1161 00:38:12,870 --> 00:38:10,640 she got 1162 00:38:14,790 --> 00:38:12,880 you know kind of interview weary a 1163 00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:14,800 little bit which we understand and 1164 00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,400 you know maybe she'll come back around 1165 00:38:21,829 --> 00:38:18,800 and and that kind of stuff but 1166 00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:21,839 that book to me is phenomenal 1167 00:38:25,990 --> 00:38:24,400 in so many ways and you know one of the 1168 00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:26,000 things that this is like a total 1169 00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:27,680 side to me but it's like so critical 1170 00:38:32,150 --> 00:38:29,520 she's catholic you know she's still 1171 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:32,160 catholic that kind of a not a strict 1172 00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:34,079 catholic and kind of very open-minded 1173 00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:34,480 and 1174 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:38,400 a really tenured professor 1175 00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:40,960 in religious studies so she's not like 1176 00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:41,839 you know 1177 00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:44,160 strictly religious person but the fact 1178 00:38:48,069 --> 00:38:44,880 that she's 1179 00:38:51,510 --> 00:38:48,079 out in the desert finding 1180 00:38:56,390 --> 00:38:51,520 crashed alien space junk that is being 1181 00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:56,400 reverse engineered directly into 1182 00:39:00,950 --> 00:38:59,359 multi-million dollar patents that her 1183 00:39:04,390 --> 00:39:00,960 gucci wearing buddy 1184 00:39:08,630 --> 00:39:04,400 is flying around on private jets kind of 1185 00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:08,640 drives a stake in the ground in terms of 1186 00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:11,680 the reality of this stuff because money 1187 00:39:16,470 --> 00:39:13,680 does that you know when someone's 1188 00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:16,480 cashing in that much just from the junk 1189 00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:17,599 and it also 1190 00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:21,200 drives a stake in the ground in terms of 1191 00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:23,920 i don't know something akin to a 1192 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:25,760 breakaway civilization 1193 00:39:30,870 --> 00:39:29,200 at least a breakaway academia where 1194 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:30,880 there are some people are in the know on 1195 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:32,640 this and then there's just a bunch of 1196 00:39:38,950 --> 00:39:36,240 other people who are just completely 1197 00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:38,960 ignorant of it and most importantly 1198 00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:40,240 those are the people that we 1199 00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:43,280 normally would go to to say is this 1200 00:39:46,950 --> 00:39:44,079 stuff real 1201 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:46,960 and you know it in a way it ties back to 1202 00:39:51,109 --> 00:39:48,720 the very first 1203 00:39:53,030 --> 00:39:51,119 question that i guess i was driving at 1204 00:39:57,270 --> 00:39:53,040 with you recluse is that 1205 00:40:01,349 --> 00:39:57,280 to me the kind of research you're doing 1206 00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:01,359 the parapolitical research is the new 1207 00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:04,480 standard for how to know because 1208 00:40:11,589 --> 00:40:08,720 if you do have this breakaway academia 1209 00:40:12,550 --> 00:40:11,599 you're never going there they that's a 1210 00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:12,560 fight club kind of 1211 00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:14,240 situation right the first rule of fight 1212 00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:15,680 clubs don't so the first rule of 1213 00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:18,160 breakaway academia is don't tell anyone 1214 00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:20,400 and then so the rest of the academia is 1215 00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:22,720 completely useful idiot kind of ville 1216 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:24,400 where they don't know anything so where 1217 00:40:27,829 --> 00:40:25,760 do we turn we 1218 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,839 it all comes to you buddy i mean we all 1219 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:28,800 come back to you 1220 00:40:34,390 --> 00:40:31,440 and say okay so tell us what's really 1221 00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:34,400 going on the best you can 1222 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:36,160 yeah well i mean i think that's you know 1223 00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:37,599 in essence what i've been trying to do 1224 00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:39,040 and especially looking into a lot of 1225 00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:39,440 this 1226 00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:41,280 you know these strange currents so to 1227 00:40:45,349 --> 00:40:43,200 speak um because i mean it really is 1228 00:40:47,990 --> 00:40:45,359 crucial i mean this is where 1229 00:40:49,270 --> 00:40:48,000 the real cutting edge science uh is 1230 00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:49,280 happening and again i always want to 1231 00:40:52,710 --> 00:40:51,119 emphasize you know 1232 00:40:54,150 --> 00:40:52,720 i'm not saying that i necessarily 1233 00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:54,160 believe that a lot of this stuff is 1234 00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:55,920 possible but there are certainly some 1235 00:40:59,270 --> 00:40:57,520 very powerful and very well 1236 00:41:00,790 --> 00:40:59,280 uh connected individuals who do think 1237 00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:00,800 that it's possible and have invested a 1238 00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:03,280 lot of time and resources into it 1239 00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:05,040 and it's just instrumental to try to 1240 00:41:08,470 --> 00:41:06,960 reconstruct this as much as we possibly 1241 00:41:09,990 --> 00:41:08,480 can to try to understand the true 1242 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:10,000 history of what's really been happening 1243 00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:11,920 especially for the last 50 or 60 years 1244 00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:12,800 because it's so 1245 00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:14,960 instrumental to what is now unfolding to 1246 00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:16,880 uh for us right now in our modern 1247 00:41:20,230 --> 00:41:18,480 society 1248 00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:20,240 so let's talk let's talk a little bit 1249 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:22,319 about right now modern society as it 1250 00:41:27,349 --> 00:41:23,200 relates to 1251 00:41:30,870 --> 00:41:27,359 your new book that's a cue for me to 1252 00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:33,190 a special relationship trump epstein and 1253 00:41:36,950 --> 00:41:34,000 the secret history 1254 00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:36,960 of the anglo-american establishment go 1255 00:41:41,270 --> 00:41:38,640 over one more time as i show 1256 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:41,280 kind of the table of contents here where 1257 00:41:46,390 --> 00:41:43,520 you're trying to take us 1258 00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:46,400 with this book and then and i know 1259 00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:49,280 you're big on tracing the history but 1260 00:41:52,390 --> 00:41:51,359 come up bring us up to speed on right 1261 00:41:55,829 --> 00:41:52,400 now 1262 00:41:57,750 --> 00:41:55,839 how you think this plays out with 1263 00:41:59,670 --> 00:41:57,760 what we're experiencing real time like 1264 00:42:01,510 --> 00:41:59,680 just the debates last night you know the 1265 00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:01,520 third debate i mean this stuff is 1266 00:42:05,510 --> 00:42:04,079 right we're right in the middle of it 1267 00:42:06,950 --> 00:42:05,520 yeah absolutely 1268 00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:06,960 well i mean really i think that the 1269 00:42:10,309 --> 00:42:08,960 network i'm chronicling here was at the 1270 00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:10,319 heart of um 1271 00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:12,560 you know bro uh brexit in the uk and the 1272 00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:13,520 rise of trump 1273 00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:15,839 explain that okay well i mean 1274 00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:16,560 essentially 1275 00:42:20,069 --> 00:42:18,400 okay you have the second world war that 1276 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:20,079 ends and you end up with a lot of these 1277 00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:22,640 spooks who were temporarily unemployed 1278 00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:24,800 and this sort of created this vast 1279 00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:27,280 network of private intelligence networks 1280 00:42:31,910 --> 00:42:29,440 among the us and the uk that have really 1281 00:42:33,670 --> 00:42:31,920 subsisted uh to this very day 1282 00:42:35,349 --> 00:42:33,680 now of course the uk was always a lot 1283 00:42:36,069 --> 00:42:35,359 more reliant on this network because 1284 00:42:37,829 --> 00:42:36,079 they weren't 1285 00:42:39,430 --> 00:42:37,839 great power essentially in the cold war 1286 00:42:41,109 --> 00:42:39,440 era they had to do things with much more 1287 00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:41,119 plausible deniability than we did in the 1288 00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:42,240 u.s here 1289 00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:44,240 but that's changing as well as america's 1290 00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:46,560 overall power starts to decline 1291 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:47,920 but i mean this is where like the 1292 00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:49,839 private military sector comes from 1293 00:42:53,190 --> 00:42:51,280 especially which is one of the things 1294 00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:53,200 that i chronicle in the first book 1295 00:42:58,550 --> 00:42:56,480 the rise of the modern day pmcs and this 1296 00:42:59,349 --> 00:42:58,560 is the sort of legacy that if you fast 1297 00:43:02,069 --> 00:42:59,359 forward to 1298 00:43:03,910 --> 00:43:02,079 2020 where what i kind of think of as 1299 00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:03,920 the cambridge analytica network comes 1300 00:43:06,309 --> 00:43:04,720 from 1301 00:43:09,589 --> 00:43:06,319 you know what i'm saying you guys did a 1302 00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,599 great show on fourth generation warfare 1303 00:43:12,710 --> 00:43:11,440 and that's what i think you're alluding 1304 00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:12,720 to here and 1305 00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,400 it's such a great point but a lot of 1306 00:43:18,390 --> 00:43:16,640 people probably aren't 1307 00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:18,400 tuned into it until that you tell them 1308 00:43:21,109 --> 00:43:19,680 you know but you just kind of think it 1309 00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:21,119 through you know you're out there 1310 00:43:24,150 --> 00:43:22,800 battling with sticks and swords and it's 1311 00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:24,160 like whoever has the 1312 00:43:27,510 --> 00:43:26,640 most sticks and the best swords wins and 1313 00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:27,520 then you get 1314 00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:28,960 guns and you're like well whoever has 1315 00:43:32,390 --> 00:43:30,800 the best guns and planes wins 1316 00:43:34,390 --> 00:43:32,400 and then you get nuclear bombs and 1317 00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:34,400 you're like oh [\h__\h] well we can't really 1318 00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:36,160 do that anymore 1319 00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:39,599 all along you were doing the information 1320 00:43:43,030 --> 00:43:41,920 game the information war at every stage 1321 00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:43,040 you were doing that 1322 00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:45,280 but now it kind of shifts right and now 1323 00:43:49,670 --> 00:43:46,880 that becomes well 1324 00:43:51,589 --> 00:43:49,680 really the the tool that is gaining more 1325 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:51,599 power is the information 1326 00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:54,960 aspect and it also becomes the most 1327 00:43:59,589 --> 00:43:57,520 viable one to kind of bring to the to 1328 00:44:01,910 --> 00:43:59,599 the battlefield so 1329 00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:01,920 that shift that you're talking about is 1330 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:02,640 so 1331 00:44:06,790 --> 00:44:05,440 freaking central to all this and i just 1332 00:44:08,230 --> 00:44:06,800 want to make sure that 1333 00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:08,240 it's your point i just want to make sure 1334 00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:10,319 that we yeah yeah yeah 1335 00:44:13,589 --> 00:44:11,760 well i mean it's the shift with that but 1336 00:44:15,349 --> 00:44:13,599 i mean it's also i think the shift of a 1337 00:44:16,630 --> 00:44:15,359 lot of this stuff going from the public 1338 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:16,640 to the private as well 1339 00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:19,680 too which is also instrumental in how 1340 00:44:22,309 --> 00:44:21,599 things are currently playing out right 1341 00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:22,319 now 1342 00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:23,680 and i mean it was kind of like the same 1343 00:44:26,710 --> 00:44:24,960 thing with the outsourcing of the 1344 00:44:28,069 --> 00:44:26,720 private military industry as well 1345 00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:28,079 because i mean it was so essential 1346 00:44:32,150 --> 00:44:30,400 around special operations forces so now 1347 00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:32,160 it's a situation where 1348 00:44:35,270 --> 00:44:33,680 you know you only need a handful of 1349 00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:35,280 soldiers to do what you used to need you 1350 00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:37,040 know a couple of battalions to do 1351 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,520 uh you know a couple of decades ago and 1352 00:44:42,550 --> 00:44:41,280 now i mean going into the 21st century 1353 00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:42,560 it's the same thing with psychological 1354 00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:43,760 warfare operations 1355 00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:45,200 you know you need to need you need a 1356 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:46,720 whole staff to do this now i mean you 1357 00:44:49,510 --> 00:44:48,240 need a couple of guys with keyboards 1358 00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:49,520 effectively 1359 00:44:53,670 --> 00:44:52,000 so now i mean a relatively small network 1360 00:44:56,309 --> 00:44:53,680 of private actors 1361 00:44:58,309 --> 00:44:56,319 can you know effectively do tremendous 1362 00:44:59,510 --> 00:44:58,319 damage to sovereign states i mean we're 1363 00:45:00,870 --> 00:44:59,520 seeing it right here in the united 1364 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,880 states you know they're seeing it in the 1365 00:45:03,670 --> 00:45:02,319 uk with brexit 1366 00:45:05,109 --> 00:45:03,680 and i think if you really pull back the 1367 00:45:06,309 --> 00:45:05,119 curtain there probably aren't a lot of 1368 00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:06,319 people who were you know 1369 00:45:10,230 --> 00:45:09,440 uh who are players in this who are parts 1370 00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:10,240 of this 1371 00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:12,400 independent to whether or not it 1372 00:45:14,950 --> 00:45:14,400 reflects the quote-unquote will of the 1373 00:45:17,349 --> 00:45:14,960 people 1374 00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:17,359 right i mean they're doing this totally 1375 00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:19,440 for private agendas essentially 1376 00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:21,920 right but sometimes sometimes it 1377 00:45:24,950 --> 00:45:22,960 reflects 1378 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:24,960 the will of the people so it's still 1379 00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:27,200 being engineered it's still being gamed 1380 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,200 but it's being gamed i guess we could 1381 00:45:32,710 --> 00:45:31,440 argue or have to hash out whether it is 1382 00:45:34,870 --> 00:45:32,720 a a 1383 00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:34,880 virtuous game because it really is the 1384 00:45:39,030 --> 00:45:36,480 people and it's countering 1385 00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:39,040 a force that was trying to subvert the 1386 00:45:41,670 --> 00:45:40,000 will of the people 1387 00:45:43,109 --> 00:45:41,680 it's kind of like i just did the show on 1388 00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,119 you know the gloria steinem thing and 1389 00:45:48,309 --> 00:45:45,520 how she was a cia op from the beginning 1390 00:45:49,589 --> 00:45:48,319 and not just uh uh she she wasn't all 1391 00:45:49,829 --> 00:45:49,599 interested in the women's movement you 1392 00:45:52,230 --> 00:45:49,839 know 1393 00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:52,240 other than she was just a cia girl that 1394 00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:52,960 was out 1395 00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:56,160 doing things at the for student protests 1396 00:45:58,309 --> 00:45:57,440 and stuff like that and they recruited 1397 00:46:00,710 --> 00:45:58,319 her for this job 1398 00:46:02,390 --> 00:46:00,720 and it's like the problem with that is 1399 00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:02,400 that we needed 1400 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:05,280 that nudge of you know it was pretty 1401 00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:06,000 unfair 1402 00:46:10,150 --> 00:46:08,160 in terms of how our laws were in our 1403 00:46:12,150 --> 00:46:10,160 society wasn't coming along in terms of 1404 00:46:13,990 --> 00:46:12,160 equal rights for women so it would be 1405 00:46:15,990 --> 00:46:14,000 easy to embrace that and say well by any 1406 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:16,000 means necessary but on the other hand do 1407 00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:19,040 we really want the cia 1408 00:46:22,309 --> 00:46:21,760 behind that running the running that 1409 00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:22,319 program 1410 00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:24,960 and i'd say the same thing here you know 1411 00:46:28,309 --> 00:46:27,200 so if brexit really does reflect the 1412 00:46:30,309 --> 00:46:28,319 will of the people 1413 00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:30,319 some people could say well then that's a 1414 00:46:33,270 --> 00:46:31,599 good thing because 1415 00:46:35,190 --> 00:46:33,280 they were holding us down in terms of 1416 00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:35,200 controlling all the information so that 1417 00:46:39,670 --> 00:46:37,359 that couldn't be expressed but then 1418 00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:39,680 you're still in this dilemma because 1419 00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:42,720 you still in a manipulation situation do 1420 00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:43,760 you get what i mean what do you think 1421 00:46:46,950 --> 00:46:45,200 about all yeah yeah yeah yeah well i 1422 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:46,960 mean because again you know it's just 1423 00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:48,880 we don't really have any legitimate uh 1424 00:46:53,589 --> 00:46:50,880 grass roots anymore i mean it's all like 1425 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:53,599 astro turfing and so forth and that 1426 00:46:56,870 --> 00:46:55,200 is really especially what is so 1427 00:46:58,309 --> 00:46:56,880 dangerous about something like cambridge 1428 00:47:00,230 --> 00:46:58,319 i mean that's really what they do 1429 00:47:02,069 --> 00:47:00,240 i mean they create false movements they 1430 00:47:03,829 --> 00:47:02,079 try to encourage people to not vote i 1431 00:47:04,790 --> 00:47:03,839 mean just all this other kind of shady 1432 00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:04,800 stuff 1433 00:47:08,870 --> 00:47:07,040 that does manipulate the public will so 1434 00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:08,880 much and you know we're still i think 1435 00:47:12,550 --> 00:47:10,000 really unaware of how 1436 00:47:13,990 --> 00:47:12,560 all this affects us and again that's why 1437 00:47:15,589 --> 00:47:14,000 i mean you see this small group of 1438 00:47:17,030 --> 00:47:15,599 private actors who are able to 1439 00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:17,040 subvert the government of the most 1440 00:47:23,589 --> 00:47:20,480 powerful nation on earth allegedly 1441 00:47:25,589 --> 00:47:23,599 yes exactly and uh 1442 00:47:27,109 --> 00:47:25,599 you know i'll tell you what let me 1443 00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:27,119 there's again there's just so many 1444 00:47:29,109 --> 00:47:28,480 things and and hopefully we'll have an 1445 00:47:31,430 --> 00:47:29,119 ongoing 1446 00:47:32,950 --> 00:47:31,440 discussion about this and i know i'm i'm 1447 00:47:35,430 --> 00:47:32,960 going to come on the farm and i 1448 00:47:37,190 --> 00:47:35,440 i would love for that appearance just to 1449 00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:37,200 be kind of round two of this because 1450 00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:38,000 this is the stuff 1451 00:47:42,309 --> 00:47:40,800 i really think is it's just so great and 1452 00:47:44,390 --> 00:47:42,319 so next level which 1453 00:47:45,589 --> 00:47:44,400 you're able to do because you have this 1454 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:45,599 immense 1455 00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:48,000 database now connected in your head of 1456 00:47:51,510 --> 00:47:49,760 all these different facts that a lot of 1457 00:47:55,190 --> 00:47:51,520 people don't have a handle on 1458 00:47:58,549 --> 00:47:55,200 but i wanted to talk about new world 1459 00:47:59,829 --> 00:47:58,559 order for a minute and i kind of 1460 00:48:01,670 --> 00:47:59,839 have to throw you a little bit of a 1461 00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:01,680 curve ball here and i kind of wish i 1462 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:03,680 would have sent you this in advance but 1463 00:48:07,270 --> 00:48:06,000 i did an interview i don't know a couple 1464 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:07,280 years ago 1465 00:48:12,230 --> 00:48:10,160 with this guy and he's a political side 1466 00:48:13,589 --> 00:48:12,240 professor at ohio state university and 1467 00:48:16,470 --> 00:48:13,599 really well respected 1468 00:48:18,309 --> 00:48:16,480 his name is dr alexander wendt you ever 1469 00:48:21,990 --> 00:48:18,319 heard of him 1470 00:48:25,270 --> 00:48:23,750 as the story goes on you might have 1471 00:48:26,710 --> 00:48:25,280 heard him because you wrote these couple 1472 00:48:27,670 --> 00:48:26,720 of papers that really got a lot of 1473 00:48:31,030 --> 00:48:27,680 traction 1474 00:48:31,750 --> 00:48:31,040 inside of the alternative conspiratorial 1475 00:48:33,990 --> 00:48:31,760 community 1476 00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:34,000 and both of them are super interesting 1477 00:48:37,750 --> 00:48:34,960 and these things just 1478 00:48:38,829 --> 00:48:37,760 just about cost him his job and 1479 00:48:41,030 --> 00:48:38,839 certainly cost him a lot of 1480 00:48:43,349 --> 00:48:41,040 respectability among his peers 1481 00:48:44,710 --> 00:48:43,359 but you know he's german guy and kind of 1482 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:44,720 had this kind of 1483 00:48:48,150 --> 00:48:46,559 certain thing where he was kind of a 1484 00:48:48,549 --> 00:48:48,160 teflon like what are you talking about 1485 00:48:50,309 --> 00:48:48,559 i'm just 1486 00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:50,319 writing another poli-sci paper what are 1487 00:48:52,549 --> 00:48:51,839 you all worked up about but here is the 1488 00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:52,559 point 1489 00:48:58,390 --> 00:48:56,480 not to bury it the first paper was 1490 00:48:59,670 --> 00:48:58,400 well one world government yeah if you 1491 00:49:02,069 --> 00:48:59,680 really think about it 1492 00:49:04,069 --> 00:49:02,079 of course yeah how can it be otherwise 1493 00:49:04,790 --> 00:49:04,079 we're headed towards a one world 1494 00:49:06,710 --> 00:49:04,800 government 1495 00:49:07,829 --> 00:49:06,720 look at the long lens of history you 1496 00:49:09,510 --> 00:49:07,839 know you start with all these little 1497 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:09,520 tribes and all these little states 1498 00:49:13,030 --> 00:49:11,119 and then they consolidate you know as 1499 00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:13,040 you were kind of saying as power gets 1500 00:49:16,710 --> 00:49:15,359 gets more consolidated then the states 1501 00:49:19,990 --> 00:49:16,720 get more consolidated and 1502 00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:20,000 sure that's where we're heading and as 1503 00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:23,040 kind of somewhat obvious as that is 1504 00:49:28,150 --> 00:49:26,000 it is a bit of a game changer when you 1505 00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:28,160 really step back and go oh 1506 00:49:31,910 --> 00:49:30,559 so what is the game that's really be 1507 00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:31,920 playing because if this guy can figure 1508 00:49:33,990 --> 00:49:32,559 it out 1509 00:49:35,829 --> 00:49:34,000 then there's a lot of other smart people 1510 00:49:39,510 --> 00:49:35,839 can figure that out and say 1511 00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:39,520 so we're all really heading towards 1512 00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:41,839 new world order one world's uh one world 1513 00:49:45,750 --> 00:49:42,720 kind of thing 1514 00:49:46,870 --> 00:49:45,760 we really don't like the way it's being 1515 00:49:49,990 --> 00:49:46,880 pushed by the 1516 00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:50,000 orwellian left-wing crowd but 1517 00:49:54,309 --> 00:49:52,880 as you kind of have delved into in the 1518 00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:54,319 last couple shows you've done on the 1519 00:49:58,390 --> 00:49:55,280 farm 1520 00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:58,400 is there's another force and it's not so 1521 00:50:02,150 --> 00:49:59,520 clear that in the 1522 00:50:02,950 --> 00:50:02,160 their end game isn't the world order one 1523 00:50:05,030 --> 00:50:02,960 world state 1524 00:50:06,790 --> 00:50:05,040 either because they see around the curve 1525 00:50:10,150 --> 00:50:06,800 and they see that that's probably 1526 00:50:13,109 --> 00:50:10,160 happening and yeah let's just let's just 1527 00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:13,119 throw that out well i mean yeah i mean 1528 00:50:17,030 --> 00:50:14,880 everybody sort of knows the sort of 1529 00:50:19,829 --> 00:50:17,040 globalist internationalist version of a 1530 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:19,839 new world order so to speak but i mean 1531 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:22,240 you had this sort of counter vision uh 1532 00:50:25,349 --> 00:50:24,240 which in the american experience really 1533 00:50:27,349 --> 00:50:25,359 went back to 1534 00:50:28,790 --> 00:50:27,359 the administration of william mckinley 1535 00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:28,800 which is really instrumental which is 1536 00:50:32,630 --> 00:50:31,359 why nobody talks about it but um 1537 00:50:34,790 --> 00:50:32,640 you had an individual in that 1538 00:50:36,470 --> 00:50:34,800 administration who went by the name of 1539 00:50:38,829 --> 00:50:36,480 theodore roosevelt 1540 00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:38,839 who was effectively america's first 1541 00:50:42,950 --> 00:50:41,440 neocon now roosevelt was of course a 1542 00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:42,960 major internationalist 1543 00:50:46,470 --> 00:50:45,280 um he was a big believer manifest 1544 00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:46,480 destiny 1545 00:50:49,990 --> 00:50:48,800 radical racist all kinds of wonderful 1546 00:50:52,829 --> 00:50:50,000 things 1547 00:50:54,309 --> 00:50:52,839 anyway he also wanted america to embrace 1548 00:50:56,950 --> 00:50:54,319 internationalism 1549 00:50:58,309 --> 00:50:56,960 but more than anything he wanted a great 1550 00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:58,319 glorious american 1551 00:51:02,790 --> 00:51:00,800 empire that would dominate the world and 1552 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:02,800 effectively would model the world after 1553 00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:04,400 our values 1554 00:51:08,230 --> 00:51:06,240 and that was really at the cost of 1555 00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:08,240 always uh this sort of dispute between 1556 00:51:10,710 --> 00:51:09,680 the different elite factions you're sort 1557 00:51:12,150 --> 00:51:10,720 of conservative 1558 00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:12,160 internationalists in one hand and you're 1559 00:51:16,150 --> 00:51:14,079 globalists on the other hand 1560 00:51:17,990 --> 00:51:16,160 basically were we going to try to go 1561 00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:18,000 towards world government 1562 00:51:21,190 --> 00:51:19,440 that would have at least nominally 1563 00:51:24,069 --> 00:51:21,200 attempted to be more inclusive 1564 00:51:25,829 --> 00:51:24,079 and in fairness to the old guard you 1565 00:51:27,750 --> 00:51:25,839 know eastern establishment elites as 1566 00:51:29,670 --> 00:51:27,760 vile as they were in many ways i mean i 1567 00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:29,680 do think that in the immediate aftermath 1568 00:51:32,870 --> 00:51:31,280 of the second world war there was 1569 00:51:34,150 --> 00:51:32,880 something of an effort to try 1570 00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:34,160 and do something that would be more 1571 00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:35,760 inclusive to the rest of the peoples in 1572 00:51:38,710 --> 00:51:36,559 the world 1573 00:51:39,910 --> 00:51:38,720 i like your qualifications there i think 1574 00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:39,920 those qualifications 1575 00:51:44,870 --> 00:51:43,200 are key but 1576 00:51:46,230 --> 00:51:44,880 um on the other hand i mean there was 1577 00:51:47,990 --> 00:51:46,240 just always a group that always 1578 00:51:49,510 --> 00:51:48,000 effectively wanted this america first 1579 00:51:51,990 --> 00:51:49,520 vision i mean later it sort of came to 1580 00:51:53,750 --> 00:51:52,000 also incorporate the uk in it 1581 00:51:55,589 --> 00:51:53,760 and essentially this sort of great 1582 00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:55,599 anglo-american empire that would 1583 00:51:59,910 --> 00:51:57,760 dominate the entire world 1584 00:52:01,670 --> 00:51:59,920 and effectively i mean they are both uh 1585 00:52:02,309 --> 00:52:01,680 internationalist visions of it but i 1586 00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:02,319 mean i think 1587 00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:05,680 uh the more utopian one quote unquote if 1588 00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:07,119 you will at least managed through the 1589 00:52:10,630 --> 00:52:09,200 u.n and what have you was attempting to 1590 00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:10,640 do so 1591 00:52:14,790 --> 00:52:13,200 more so in a long time period of war of 1592 00:52:16,390 --> 00:52:14,800 adoration you know kind of wearing 1593 00:52:18,790 --> 00:52:16,400 everybody down and gradually bringing 1594 00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:18,800 them into this sector whereas 1595 00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:21,680 the rooseveltian version was definitely 1596 00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:23,200 a much more militant one 1597 00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:25,200 it was more than willing to try to bring 1598 00:52:29,430 --> 00:52:27,520 about this great glorious empire by the 1599 00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:29,440 sword if that's what it took 1600 00:52:32,790 --> 00:52:30,720 and i think you really see that 1601 00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:32,800 especially very much in this day and age 1602 00:52:34,630 --> 00:52:33,440 with the 1603 00:52:36,630 --> 00:52:34,640 you know a lot of the rise of the 1604 00:52:37,510 --> 00:52:36,640 neocons the american bursters and the 1605 00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:37,520 american right 1606 00:52:41,829 --> 00:52:40,240 and so forth and it's really unsettling 1607 00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:41,839 because i mean again you know going back 1608 00:52:45,349 --> 00:52:43,599 to the old you know kind of anglo-er 1609 00:52:47,589 --> 00:52:45,359 eastern establishment the u.s the 1610 00:52:49,270 --> 00:52:47,599 rockefellers and all these people i mean 1611 00:52:51,589 --> 00:52:49,280 they had seen the second world war 1612 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:51,599 firsthand they knew the kinds of weapons 1613 00:52:54,470 --> 00:52:53,040 that were being developed and they 1614 00:52:57,670 --> 00:52:54,480 understood that there were at least 1615 00:52:59,109 --> 00:52:57,680 certain lines that we should never cross 1616 00:53:01,750 --> 00:52:59,119 because otherwise there wouldn't be a 1617 00:53:03,750 --> 00:53:01,760 human species left essentially 1618 00:53:05,109 --> 00:53:03,760 yeah as you explored in a recent uh 1619 00:53:07,990 --> 00:53:05,119 episode on the farm 1620 00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:08,000 and and did so just really in this kind 1621 00:53:12,710 --> 00:53:10,800 of deep nuanced way 1622 00:53:14,150 --> 00:53:12,720 you get to end of that discussion and 1623 00:53:15,750 --> 00:53:14,160 you're like well 1624 00:53:17,270 --> 00:53:15,760 if i am going to be dragged into the 1625 00:53:22,069 --> 00:53:17,280 gutter in a fight 1626 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:22,079 then i do have to fight so it's not like 1627 00:53:25,589 --> 00:53:23,920 and that's the the problem with all this 1628 00:53:28,230 --> 00:53:25,599 stuff is it it just 1629 00:53:29,510 --> 00:53:28,240 degrades you know into who's ever the 1630 00:53:33,750 --> 00:53:29,520 nastiest 1631 00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:33,760 wins out so it's not like one side 1632 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:37,599 if we are engaged in this culture war 1633 00:53:44,710 --> 00:53:41,280 battle that that is the manifestation 1634 00:53:46,790 --> 00:53:44,720 of this deeper battle ideological battle 1635 00:53:48,150 --> 00:53:46,800 of what the new world order is going to 1636 00:53:49,349 --> 00:53:48,160 look like because that's what we're 1637 00:53:52,390 --> 00:53:49,359 saying here i guess 1638 00:53:55,829 --> 00:53:52,400 we're saying that there's two visions 1639 00:53:57,069 --> 00:53:55,839 for the eventuality of that one world 1640 00:53:59,750 --> 00:53:57,079 state the 1641 00:54:00,790 --> 00:53:59,760 inevitability of that one world state 1642 00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:00,800 that 1643 00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:03,599 my buddy alexander wendt is pointing to 1644 00:54:08,950 --> 00:54:04,960 and the one vision 1645 00:54:12,390 --> 00:54:08,960 is what we're seeing manifested by 1646 00:54:15,190 --> 00:54:12,400 kind of let's call it the left um 1647 00:54:17,030 --> 00:54:15,200 then the the counter to that especially 1648 00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:17,040 the way they're playing the game 1649 00:54:21,349 --> 00:54:19,520 is what you're talking about on the 1650 00:54:21,829 --> 00:54:21,359 right but it really can't be any other 1651 00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:21,839 way 1652 00:54:25,109 --> 00:54:23,920 it's kind of like the the christian 1653 00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:25,119 thing which we can 1654 00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:27,040 maybe get into religion and stuff like 1655 00:54:30,870 --> 00:54:28,720 that and i think we're actually being 1656 00:54:31,510 --> 00:54:30,880 dragged into a false duality with this 1657 00:54:33,750 --> 00:54:31,520 though i mean 1658 00:54:35,349 --> 00:54:33,760 i i mean essentially i would say we need 1659 00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:35,359 a third option you know because neither 1660 00:54:38,710 --> 00:54:37,119 one of these are really very good ones i 1661 00:54:40,309 --> 00:54:38,720 mean i think that 1662 00:54:42,390 --> 00:54:40,319 you know the globus one might be 1663 00:54:44,230 --> 00:54:42,400 somewhat a little better in some levels 1664 00:54:46,309 --> 00:54:44,240 i mean probably less people would die 1665 00:54:48,150 --> 00:54:46,319 but it's not pretty either a lot of 1666 00:54:50,789 --> 00:54:48,160 levels either let's just say that 1667 00:54:52,150 --> 00:54:50,799 so i mean i think that we need you know 1668 00:54:53,990 --> 00:54:52,160 to start looking at different 1669 00:54:55,750 --> 00:54:54,000 possibilities because yes the world is 1670 00:54:57,190 --> 00:54:55,760 going to become interconnected i mean 1671 00:54:58,230 --> 00:54:57,200 even more so than it is now i mean 1672 00:55:00,549 --> 00:54:58,240 that's inevitable with the way 1673 00:55:01,990 --> 00:55:00,559 technology is going and so forth 1674 00:55:04,069 --> 00:55:02,000 but that also gives us you know the 1675 00:55:06,150 --> 00:55:04,079 ability to not need i think as many of 1676 00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:06,160 these byzantine 1677 00:55:11,270 --> 00:55:09,359 uh structures over us be they you know a 1678 00:55:13,589 --> 00:55:11,280 kind of all-seeing world government 1679 00:55:15,349 --> 00:55:13,599 or multinational corporations that 1680 00:55:16,150 --> 00:55:15,359 effectively have the power of multiple 1681 00:55:18,630 --> 00:55:16,160 but do you think 1682 00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:18,640 the center can really hold this is the 1683 00:55:22,470 --> 00:55:20,000 point that you guys raised 1684 00:55:23,030 --> 00:55:22,480 in your in this show and i forget which 1685 00:55:24,630 --> 00:55:23,040 episode 1686 00:55:27,270 --> 00:55:24,640 it was because you've had so many 1687 00:55:30,549 --> 00:55:27,280 fantastic ones that they've all kind of 1688 00:55:33,030 --> 00:55:30,559 merged ahead in my merch together 1689 00:55:34,390 --> 00:55:33,040 i think society is going to survive 1690 00:55:37,109 --> 00:55:34,400 essentially 1691 00:55:38,309 --> 00:55:37,119 well but no because i i think and where 1692 00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:38,319 is the farm here 1693 00:55:41,349 --> 00:55:40,880 um oh because i want to show people some 1694 00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:41,359 of the 1695 00:55:45,910 --> 00:55:43,760 episodes that you've had here i i you 1696 00:55:47,670 --> 00:55:45,920 know there's always you know oh will 1697 00:55:49,349 --> 00:55:47,680 society survive and all the rest of this 1698 00:55:51,430 --> 00:55:49,359 it's like you know what i'm saying is 1699 00:55:52,710 --> 00:55:51,440 kind of a more and this is again this is 1700 00:55:53,270 --> 00:55:52,720 i think the point that you guys were 1701 00:55:55,589 --> 00:55:53,280 talking about 1702 00:55:57,750 --> 00:55:55,599 is like if you want to say i don't want 1703 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:57,760 to take sides there has to be another 1704 00:56:01,109 --> 00:55:58,559 way 1705 00:56:02,150 --> 00:56:01,119 you know kind of what's popularized by 1706 00:56:04,549 --> 00:56:02,160 the alternative 1707 00:56:06,390 --> 00:56:04,559 uh the alt alt media that we're a part 1708 00:56:07,750 --> 00:56:06,400 of i just look at that and i just 1709 00:56:09,589 --> 00:56:07,760 have to kind of laugh a little bit it 1710 00:56:12,549 --> 00:56:09,599 seems so naive a little bit i mean 1711 00:56:14,150 --> 00:56:12,559 the amount of money and power that these 1712 00:56:16,870 --> 00:56:14,160 other two forces have 1713 00:56:17,750 --> 00:56:16,880 is just going to it makes it look 1714 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:17,760 ridiculous 1715 00:56:21,829 --> 00:56:19,680 so yeah you know everyone wants a 1716 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:21,839 everyone wants a pick on soros in his 1717 00:56:26,069 --> 00:56:24,000 billions that he's putting into 1718 00:56:27,750 --> 00:56:26,079 that one side of the agenda and as you 1719 00:56:29,510 --> 00:56:27,760 guys so rightly point out was like well 1720 00:56:29,990 --> 00:56:29,520 there's billions coming in on the other 1721 00:56:31,430 --> 00:56:30,000 side 1722 00:56:33,190 --> 00:56:31,440 and they're trying to co-op things and 1723 00:56:33,910 --> 00:56:33,200 manage things on the other side but the 1724 00:56:36,789 --> 00:56:33,920 idea 1725 00:56:37,750 --> 00:56:36,799 that and again i i hate to be the debbie 1726 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:37,760 downer here but the 1727 00:56:40,789 --> 00:56:39,200 the idea that there's going to be this 1728 00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:40,799 organic middle 1729 00:56:44,950 --> 00:56:43,760 that will kind of rise up it's like no 1730 00:56:48,710 --> 00:56:44,960 to whatever extent 1731 00:56:51,430 --> 00:56:48,720 we are successful it will be in 1732 00:56:54,069 --> 00:56:51,440 making a small dent in shifting one of 1733 00:56:55,349 --> 00:56:54,079 those two polarities it's not a third 1734 00:56:56,710 --> 00:56:55,359 leg on the stool 1735 00:56:59,829 --> 00:56:56,720 just ain't gonna happen we don't have 1736 00:57:02,390 --> 00:56:59,839 enough power we're not enough money 1737 00:57:03,670 --> 00:57:02,400 well i mean yes and no i mean i do think 1738 00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:03,680 though with the rise of 1739 00:57:07,829 --> 00:57:05,599 the change in communications though that 1740 00:57:09,349 --> 00:57:07,839 does offer different possibilities that 1741 00:57:11,030 --> 00:57:09,359 we really haven't had 1742 00:57:12,470 --> 00:57:11,040 in human history up to this point in 1743 00:57:13,910 --> 00:57:12,480 time i mean obviously that could all 1744 00:57:15,750 --> 00:57:13,920 change if there is an attempt to 1745 00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:15,760 massively crack down on the internet or 1746 00:57:20,069 --> 00:57:17,359 something to that effect 1747 00:57:20,470 --> 00:57:20,079 but break down buddy i mean this is 1748 00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:20,480 again 1749 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:23,680 to to 1750 00:57:27,430 --> 00:57:26,640 to pick on but you're because what i'm 1751 00:57:31,510 --> 00:57:27,440 doing 1752 00:57:33,829 --> 00:57:31,520 with your own 1753 00:57:35,190 --> 00:57:33,839 points you know that you've made because 1754 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:35,200 and if you weren't 1755 00:57:38,789 --> 00:57:37,920 uh exploring both sides of this then i 1756 00:57:42,230 --> 00:57:38,799 wouldn't 1757 00:57:44,390 --> 00:57:42,240 for you because you're uh we all are 1758 00:57:47,270 --> 00:57:44,400 flip-flopping on all this stuff 1759 00:57:47,670 --> 00:57:47,280 so uh cambridge analytica is to your 1760 00:57:50,710 --> 00:57:47,680 point 1761 00:57:53,910 --> 00:57:50,720 is a few guys that are running this game 1762 00:57:54,309 --> 00:57:53,920 that it is impossible for us to right it 1763 00:57:56,390 --> 00:57:54,319 took 1764 00:57:57,510 --> 00:57:56,400 us forever to figure out that that's 1765 00:57:58,870 --> 00:57:57,520 what was going on 1766 00:58:00,870 --> 00:57:58,880 well they've already moved on to the 1767 00:58:02,789 --> 00:58:00,880 next level next level next level so for 1768 00:58:05,030 --> 00:58:02,799 us to get all excited because 1769 00:58:06,710 --> 00:58:05,040 we have uh have the internet and we can 1770 00:58:08,309 --> 00:58:06,720 podcast we talk to each other 1771 00:58:11,109 --> 00:58:08,319 hey i'm not putting that down i'm still 1772 00:58:13,750 --> 00:58:11,119 doing it i mean it doesn't mean that 1773 00:58:15,030 --> 00:58:13,760 that you stopped doing it oh and but it 1774 00:58:16,789 --> 00:58:15,040 does mean that you have to kind of 1775 00:58:18,549 --> 00:58:16,799 check yourself in terms of how this fits 1776 00:58:20,630 --> 00:58:18,559 into kind of the big picture 1777 00:58:22,069 --> 00:58:20,640 i mean i just talked to you know the 1778 00:58:23,910 --> 00:58:22,079 cancel culture 1779 00:58:26,390 --> 00:58:23,920 the the people that are just kind of 1780 00:58:27,190 --> 00:58:26,400 disappeared you know completely from the 1781 00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:27,200 conversation 1782 00:58:30,230 --> 00:58:28,799 this is something we never would have 1783 00:58:30,950 --> 00:58:30,240 even if you and i were having this 1784 00:58:33,670 --> 00:58:30,960 conversation 1785 00:58:35,589 --> 00:58:33,680 five years ago and one of us said that 1786 00:58:37,109 --> 00:58:35,599 the other one would be 1787 00:58:39,430 --> 00:58:37,119 they could never do that they could 1788 00:58:41,589 --> 00:58:39,440 never completely just across all these 1789 00:58:43,750 --> 00:58:41,599 platforms that shows this collusion 1790 00:58:45,109 --> 00:58:43,760 this talk about conspiracy shows this 1791 00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:45,119 compromise con 1792 00:58:48,549 --> 00:58:47,359 conspiratorial collusion that we could 1793 00:58:50,710 --> 00:58:48,559 never imagine 1794 00:58:52,470 --> 00:58:50,720 we would have never anticipated that 1795 00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:52,480 they could have done that now we live it 1796 00:58:56,230 --> 00:58:53,040 so 1797 00:58:57,030 --> 00:58:56,240 again i i just i think you're i think 1798 00:58:58,710 --> 00:58:57,040 you're 1799 00:59:00,630 --> 00:58:58,720 equally on board with that at different 1800 00:59:01,030 --> 00:59:00,640 times as i am but then you also want to 1801 00:59:02,950 --> 00:59:01,040 kind of 1802 00:59:05,990 --> 00:59:02,960 look at the bright side of things that 1803 00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:06,000 yeah yeah yeah well i mean also i always 1804 00:59:09,750 --> 00:59:07,920 i hate to tell people to try to support 1805 00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:09,760 the lesser of two evils in any real 1806 00:59:12,710 --> 00:59:11,119 faction i mean 1807 00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:12,720 i don't know i feel like that's a lot of 1808 00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:14,160 what has led us to this sad 1809 00:59:18,390 --> 00:59:16,400 juncture i mean we've just we've 1810 00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:18,400 continuously lowered our standards 1811 00:59:21,349 --> 00:59:20,400 generation after generation after 1812 00:59:23,589 --> 00:59:21,359 generation 1813 00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:23,599 it's well you can see just look at the 1814 00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:24,960 presidential debate we were 1815 00:59:29,430 --> 00:59:26,559 forced to witness last night and that's 1816 00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:29,440 what it's gotten us now 1817 00:59:32,789 --> 00:59:31,839 well i think well i don't want to get 1818 00:59:34,309 --> 00:59:32,799 off on another tangent 1819 00:59:36,230 --> 00:59:34,319 i think politics when you look at them 1820 00:59:37,990 --> 00:59:36,240 are really interesting because 1821 00:59:39,589 --> 00:59:38,000 and you have a little bit of that lens i 1822 00:59:41,349 --> 00:59:39,599 mean when you go back to uh 1823 00:59:43,510 --> 00:59:41,359 mckinley or whatever i mean there were 1824 00:59:46,230 --> 00:59:43,520 some really nasty [\h__\h] 1825 00:59:47,829 --> 00:59:46,240 going on in our history that makes 1826 00:59:50,950 --> 00:59:47,839 modern politics look 1827 00:59:53,109 --> 00:59:50,960 mild compared to what those guys did 1828 00:59:54,950 --> 00:59:53,119 and all those so it's always been why 1829 00:59:58,150 --> 00:59:54,960 wouldn't you you know if you can't 1830 00:59:59,430 --> 00:59:58,160 it's a great it's like the whole and i'm 1831 01:00:01,270 --> 00:59:59,440 not too 1832 01:00:03,109 --> 01:00:01,280 nick bostrom which is a fantastic 1833 01:00:05,190 --> 01:00:03,119 philosopher from uh 1834 01:00:06,309 --> 01:00:05,200 uh oxford and is kind of better known 1835 01:00:10,470 --> 01:00:06,319 for yeah so 1836 01:00:12,390 --> 01:00:10,480 you know if they can they will 1837 01:00:13,589 --> 01:00:12,400 is one of the quotes i like from him and 1838 01:00:15,670 --> 01:00:13,599 it's like 1839 01:00:17,270 --> 01:00:15,680 no matter how horrific you think you 1840 01:00:19,670 --> 01:00:17,280 know whatever it is whether it's 1841 01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:19,680 transhumanism or you know genetic 1842 01:00:22,750 --> 01:00:20,400 engineering 1843 01:00:24,309 --> 01:00:22,760 or you know cloning whatever 1844 01:00:26,870 --> 01:00:24,319 technologically 1845 01:00:28,710 --> 01:00:26,880 if we can we will it's just always been 1846 01:00:29,510 --> 01:00:28,720 and then you can't get away from it by 1847 01:00:31,030 --> 01:00:29,520 being a 1848 01:00:32,710 --> 01:00:31,040 luddite and sticking your head in the 1849 01:00:34,630 --> 01:00:32,720 ground and go well you know 1850 01:00:37,109 --> 01:00:34,640 we just got uh we just got in our house 1851 01:00:38,230 --> 01:00:37,119 the new uh virtual reality thing from 1852 01:00:41,750 --> 01:00:38,240 facebook you know 1853 01:00:42,069 --> 01:00:41,760 because it's like you as soon as you do 1854 01:00:43,829 --> 01:00:42,079 that 1855 01:00:45,270 --> 01:00:43,839 you're like well of course everyone's 1856 01:00:46,789 --> 01:00:45,280 going to be doing this everyone's going 1857 01:00:49,109 --> 01:00:46,799 to be fighting over 1858 01:00:50,390 --> 01:00:49,119 deciding how much of their life is 1859 01:00:52,630 --> 01:00:50,400 virtual versus how much 1860 01:00:55,349 --> 01:00:52,640 life is non-virtual it's it's a given if 1861 01:00:56,950 --> 01:00:55,359 you think that isn't going to happen 1862 01:00:58,950 --> 01:00:56,960 it's going to happen for the largest 1863 01:01:02,309 --> 01:00:58,960 percentage of the population it's 1864 01:01:03,030 --> 01:01:02,319 just like uh you know the neural link 1865 01:01:05,430 --> 01:01:03,040 stuff 1866 01:01:06,150 --> 01:01:05,440 and and all that you know i mean of 1867 01:01:09,030 --> 01:01:06,160 course 1868 01:01:09,510 --> 01:01:09,040 i i have a family member very close to 1869 01:01:13,190 --> 01:01:09,520 me 1870 01:01:15,670 --> 01:01:13,200 who has uh epilepsy they're not going to 1871 01:01:16,230 --> 01:01:15,680 sign up for the neural link if it stops 1872 01:01:18,710 --> 01:01:16,240 their 1873 01:01:20,150 --> 01:01:18,720 seizures of course they will well now 1874 01:01:21,190 --> 01:01:20,160 you're in the game right because 1875 01:01:22,630 --> 01:01:21,200 hey you know what else we can do with 1876 01:01:23,349 --> 01:01:22,640 this neural link we do this and this and 1877 01:01:24,549 --> 01:01:23,359 this and this 1878 01:01:26,549 --> 01:01:24,559 do you want any of this you want to shut 1879 01:01:29,670 --> 01:01:26,559 that down you know i mean it's like 1880 01:01:32,630 --> 01:01:29,680 of course we're heading there yeah 1881 01:01:34,230 --> 01:01:32,640 i mean it's definitely you know i mean 1882 01:01:35,990 --> 01:01:34,240 it's a strange position to be in 1883 01:01:37,510 --> 01:01:36,000 certainly and i mean 1884 01:01:39,829 --> 01:01:37,520 but i mean that's really essentially a 1885 01:01:41,270 --> 01:01:39,839 big part of why i do what i do because i 1886 01:01:43,109 --> 01:01:41,280 mean how they're applied and i mean 1887 01:01:43,670 --> 01:01:43,119 effectively how they can be used against 1888 01:01:45,990 --> 01:01:43,680 the different 1889 01:01:48,549 --> 01:01:46,000 factions as well i mean i think you know 1890 01:01:50,630 --> 01:01:48,559 if you really look at some of these more 1891 01:01:53,349 --> 01:01:50,640 arcane groups i mean what was it the 1892 01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:53,359 dkmu was it domino's chaotis marauder 1893 01:01:56,390 --> 01:01:54,640 underground or some of these other kind 1894 01:01:58,069 --> 01:01:56,400 of outfits they're already trying to do 1895 01:01:59,910 --> 01:01:58,079 something like that 1896 01:02:01,349 --> 01:01:59,920 you know i mean i think that's really at 1897 01:02:03,190 --> 01:02:01,359 this point in time the best bet that we 1898 01:02:06,789 --> 01:02:03,200 really have 1899 01:02:08,950 --> 01:02:06,799 i always say this and people 1900 01:02:11,190 --> 01:02:08,960 think i'm joking or something is you 1901 01:02:14,390 --> 01:02:11,200 know the the old navy commercials 1902 01:02:15,270 --> 01:02:14,400 you know a force for good they show this 1903 01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:15,280 big 1904 01:02:18,630 --> 01:02:16,960 aircraft character no it's a global 1905 01:02:20,710 --> 01:02:18,640 force for good oh yeah 1906 01:02:22,150 --> 01:02:20,720 that's you're so right buddy that's so 1907 01:02:23,510 --> 01:02:22,160 right right right we're close it's like 1908 01:02:25,750 --> 01:02:23,520 they've changed it now right 1909 01:02:26,549 --> 01:02:25,760 let's talk about programming but the old 1910 01:02:29,349 --> 01:02:26,559 one 1911 01:02:31,430 --> 01:02:29,359 which is just generic right i mean 1912 01:02:32,549 --> 01:02:31,440 whether it's global or whether it's 1913 01:02:34,870 --> 01:02:32,559 you know let's leave that out of the 1914 01:02:38,069 --> 01:02:34,880 debate but let's be 1915 01:02:41,190 --> 01:02:38,079 a force for good let's 1916 01:02:43,029 --> 01:02:41,200 uh you know tie into the american 1917 01:02:44,710 --> 01:02:43,039 ideals that we were never there are 1918 01:02:47,750 --> 01:02:44,720 deals we never lived them 1919 01:02:49,430 --> 01:02:47,760 really but we at least had those ideals 1920 01:02:52,870 --> 01:02:49,440 that's all i think we have to do 1921 01:02:53,589 --> 01:02:52,880 is just try and be a force for good in 1922 01:02:55,430 --> 01:02:53,599 our life 1923 01:02:56,870 --> 01:02:55,440 in our community and the people that we 1924 01:03:00,069 --> 01:02:56,880 come in contact with 1925 01:03:02,390 --> 01:03:00,079 oh absolutely that's the strongest 1926 01:03:04,150 --> 01:03:02,400 yep and that's the gravitational force 1927 01:03:07,510 --> 01:03:04,160 that's what pulls these two 1928 01:03:08,470 --> 01:03:07,520 polarized insanities you know need to be 1929 01:03:11,750 --> 01:03:08,480 attracted to 1930 01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:11,760 us rather than us try and glom onto them 1931 01:03:15,029 --> 01:03:13,440 what do you think about that as we try 1932 01:03:16,630 --> 01:03:15,039 and well absolutely and i mean i think 1933 01:03:18,630 --> 01:03:16,640 specifically you know to put these 1934 01:03:20,230 --> 01:03:18,640 techniques to a positive end and so 1935 01:03:22,150 --> 01:03:20,240 forth because i mean to a certain extent 1936 01:03:24,470 --> 01:03:22,160 you know you do need these psychological 1937 01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,480 constructs to formulate a society i mean 1938 01:03:28,390 --> 01:03:26,240 you need a certain mythos to base a 1939 01:03:30,630 --> 01:03:28,400 society around i mean they really don't 1940 01:03:32,150 --> 01:03:30,640 last if they don't have that and i mean 1941 01:03:33,349 --> 01:03:32,160 i think it's really up to us i mean 1942 01:03:35,109 --> 01:03:33,359 especially artists 1943 01:03:37,190 --> 01:03:35,119 political scholars that type of thing to 1944 01:03:38,470 --> 01:03:37,200 create a mythos that is a positive one 1945 01:03:39,589 --> 01:03:38,480 something that's more inclusive 1946 01:03:43,510 --> 01:03:39,599 something that's going to be the 1947 01:03:47,589 --> 01:03:45,589 awesome you know what i think that's a 1948 01:03:51,109 --> 01:03:47,599 good way to kind of round it 1949 01:03:53,270 --> 01:03:51,119 on home what else do we need to 1950 01:03:54,710 --> 01:03:53,280 share with people in terms of how they 1951 01:03:56,870 --> 01:03:54,720 need to uh 1952 01:03:58,150 --> 01:03:56,880 connect with what you're doing and and 1953 01:04:00,069 --> 01:03:58,160 and keep 1954 01:04:02,309 --> 01:04:00,079 keep up to speed on how to make that 1955 01:04:03,829 --> 01:04:02,319 good stuff happen 1956 01:04:05,990 --> 01:04:03,839 well i mean i just think you know you 1957 01:04:07,829 --> 01:04:06,000 need to step back sometimes i mean even 1958 01:04:09,589 --> 01:04:07,839 though i am kind of a political junkie i 1959 01:04:09,990 --> 01:04:09,599 mean i usually make a point you know at 1960 01:04:11,670 --> 01:04:10,000 least 1961 01:04:13,589 --> 01:04:11,680 a couple of hours a day really to just 1962 01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:13,599 get outside or something just get away 1963 01:04:17,109 --> 01:04:15,200 from all the technology and i mean 1964 01:04:18,870 --> 01:04:17,119 insanity and just try to 1965 01:04:20,549 --> 01:04:18,880 focus on what's really important to me 1966 01:04:21,829 --> 01:04:20,559 in my life i mean that's kind of another 1967 01:04:23,990 --> 01:04:21,839 thing you know you need something to 1968 01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:24,000 aspire towards goals and 1969 01:04:27,670 --> 01:04:25,760 just ultimately realize that there is 1970 01:04:29,270 --> 01:04:27,680 stuff that you can do i mean it just 1971 01:04:30,789 --> 01:04:29,280 seems like talking to 1972 01:04:32,549 --> 01:04:30,799 because i'm a cook professional like i 1973 01:04:33,990 --> 01:04:32,559 don't really do anything prestigious or 1974 01:04:34,870 --> 01:04:34,000 anything i'm around normal people pretty 1975 01:04:38,069 --> 01:04:34,880 regularly it just 1976 01:04:40,069 --> 01:04:38,079 seems like people get so daunted by 1977 01:04:41,750 --> 01:04:40,079 thinking that i'm just a little person i 1978 01:04:43,829 --> 01:04:41,760 can't really do anything constructive 1979 01:04:45,270 --> 01:04:43,839 with my life which is nonsense 1980 01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:45,280 you know you really just have to believe 1981 01:04:48,150 --> 01:04:46,960 in yourself 1982 01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:48,160 you know the other thing that you said 1983 01:04:51,349 --> 01:04:49,520 there that i think is kind of 1984 01:04:52,390 --> 01:04:51,359 interesting and people don't talk about 1985 01:04:54,710 --> 01:04:52,400 a lot 1986 01:04:56,069 --> 01:04:54,720 and it almost sounds it can sound a 1987 01:04:57,910 --> 01:04:56,079 little bit patronizing 1988 01:05:01,029 --> 01:04:57,920 when you say i'm around normal people a 1989 01:05:04,230 --> 01:05:01,039 lot but i know exactly what you mean 1990 01:05:05,190 --> 01:05:04,240 and i find that too i mean people have 1991 01:05:07,349 --> 01:05:05,200 to also i think 1992 01:05:09,029 --> 01:05:07,359 step out of their social structures too 1993 01:05:09,430 --> 01:05:09,039 because it just seems like so often 1994 01:05:11,270 --> 01:05:09,440 people 1995 01:05:13,029 --> 01:05:11,280 only want to especially nowadays we only 1996 01:05:14,470 --> 01:05:13,039 want to associate with other liberals or 1997 01:05:15,829 --> 01:05:14,480 we only want to associate with other 1998 01:05:17,750 --> 01:05:15,839 conservatives or we only want to 1999 01:05:19,349 --> 01:05:17,760 associate with other vegans or that type 2000 01:05:21,190 --> 01:05:19,359 of thing i mean 2001 01:05:23,190 --> 01:05:21,200 at least for me i've always tried to 2002 01:05:24,870 --> 01:05:23,200 have friends from very different 2003 01:05:26,549 --> 01:05:24,880 backgrounds over the course of my life 2004 01:05:28,069 --> 01:05:26,559 and i mean i think that's very useful 2005 01:05:29,750 --> 01:05:28,079 you know it exposes you to different 2006 01:05:32,069 --> 01:05:29,760 social structures and 2007 01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:32,079 a big part i think of being you know 2008 01:05:35,029 --> 01:05:33,440 trying to do positive things in the 2009 01:05:36,549 --> 01:05:35,039 world is understanding other people's 2010 01:05:38,150 --> 01:05:36,559 perspectives i mean 2011 01:05:39,829 --> 01:05:38,160 even if you find them appalling you 2012 01:05:41,270 --> 01:05:39,839 really can't help them get beyond their 2013 01:05:43,190 --> 01:05:41,280 perspectives if you don't understand 2014 01:05:45,589 --> 01:05:43,200 where they're coming from you know 2015 01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:45,599 it just seems like in general there's a 2016 01:05:49,349 --> 01:05:47,760 lack of mutual understanding nowadays in 2017 01:05:50,789 --> 01:05:49,359 our society an attempt to even try to 2018 01:05:52,309 --> 01:05:50,799 get where the other person is coming 2019 01:05:54,069 --> 01:05:52,319 from 2020 01:05:55,349 --> 01:05:54,079 you know you need to emphasize 2021 01:05:59,029 --> 01:05:55,359 ultimately with other people 2022 01:06:01,270 --> 01:05:59,039 to help them awesome well again folks 2023 01:06:03,670 --> 01:06:01,280 we've been talking to steven schneider 2024 01:06:06,630 -->
