so-called 52 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:47,040 satanic panic you could almost see a 53 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:48,720 parallel between operation wandering 54 00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,360 soul 55 00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:51,520 and what he was doing there because he 56 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,640 was going on tv 57 00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,640 in such a provocative way where it's 58 00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:56,399 like he knew he was going to basically 59 00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,119 trigger 60 00:02:00,310 --> 00:01:59,119 all the kind of conservative christian 61 00:02:02,950

were saying about how there's these evil 65 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,000 cults but then he was also sitting there 66 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:10,239 and going like that is actually not true 67 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,120 i am 68 00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:13,360 you know i might have devil eyebrows and 69 00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,239 have this like 70 00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:16,480 you know

here it almost like it 74 00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:24,480 in in the sense of the real goal of the 75 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,160 recording of wandering soul 76 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:28,160 was to get

00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:34,959 it was it was all about eliciting a 81 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,640 psychological reaction 82 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:39,040 that was actually not exactly what the 83 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:40,400 kind of ostensible goal 84 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:43,599 of the operate of the psyop so i got 85 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,280 this interview coming up with the guys 86 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:47,200 from subliminal jihad which is a 87 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,160 fantastic 88 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:50,319 podcast that i discovered and i want you 89 00:02:53,589 -->

00:02:59,040 is this guy michael aquino who is a 93 00:03:02,390 --> 00:02:59,680 satanist 94 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:02,400 pedophile probably murderer of children 95 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,000 almost for sure 96 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:07,120 and a guy who was legitimately 97 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,120 embraced by our military and 98 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:11,040 intelligence organizations i mean he was 99 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:11,840 totally 100 00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:14,080 embedded he was highly highly regarded 101 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:15,280 for his knowledge and 102 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:19,200 insights for mind control and mind games 103 00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:21,040 here's an additional clip yeah i think 104 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,480 that you know for instance you mentioned 105 00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:23,760 it's working on the devil you know this 106 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,560 is a huge 107 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:26,239 uh flashpoint in our culture a huge 108 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:27,920 controversy over uh 109 00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:30,400 lil nos x's video a common point that 110 00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:31,040 people made 111 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:32,560 of these v the video was that well you 112 00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:34,400 know look at the ending you know little 113 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,599 not sex actually 114 00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:37,680 he's using his sexuality to seduce the 115 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,879 devil but in the end 116 00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,400 he kills the devil and then he puts the 117 00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:42,400 devil's horns on himself so really he's 118 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,000 killing satan so isn't that 119 00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,760 good and it's like well you know if you 120 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:47,200 think about what these people like 121 00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:48,720 michael aquino for instance 122 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,319 what they really believe like that 123 00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:52,000 actually matches up perfectly 124 00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:53,680 with their ideas about their how their 125 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,280 relationship with these entities work 126 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,120 you know they of course no one's ever 127 00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:59,519 gonna sign on to like the christian idea 128 00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:00,080 of 129 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,680 a deal with the devil like that people 130 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,360 will warn you about no one would take 131 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,720 that deal probably 132 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,319 you know it's because they think that 133 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:08,159 they have a loophole they always have a 134 00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,760 way out you know and oftentimes it's 135 00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,439 because they can ascend themselves 136 00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,599 they can become you know the dark prince 137 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:15,439 or you know the god unto themselves 138 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:17,600 that's exactly what sethianism teaches 139 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:19,040 like which is 140 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:21,199 you know there's a vulgar more 141 00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:22,479 secularized version of that 142 00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:24,479 in the church of satan and even further 143 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,160 more secularized version of that and 144 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:28,320 the satanic temple where you have the 145 00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,440 idea that they're 146 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:32,000 you know you can yourself it's all about 147 00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:33,360 the the aggrandizement of itself you 148 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:34,720 know the ascension of the self 149 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:37,520 the godhood of the becoming a god yeah 150 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,960 exactly they think that they're they're 151 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:41,040 not going to be accountable because 152 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:43,360 they will you know find a loophole that 153 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:44,400 they will become 154 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:47,440 said before i'm

00:07:11,120 about 220 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:13,919 your background and then the origins of 221 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,000 this podcast 222 00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:18,479 yeah sure it's great to be

some 226 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:27,599 time yeah we're old riel friends 227 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,800 you know which isn't the case with all 228 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:30,960 podcasts but yeah we are 229 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:34,000 authentic ral friends and we yeah we 230 00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:35,120 know each other for a while 231 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,440 and we've both had we've talked about 232 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:39,039 doing this for a long time because 233 00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:40,560 i think as we mentioned on the show you 234 00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:42,160 know we're both 235 00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:43,919 we both did like a lot of writing like 236 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:45,199 creative writing you know 237 00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:47,280 collaboratively together like at various 238 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:49,759 times and you know we would have long 239 00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,039 uh conversations brainstorming ideas for 240 00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:55,680 things projects like that and we always 241 00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:56,879 felt that we would be 242 00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:59,280 good at the the podcast i mean i feel 243 00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:00,400 like something that people 244 00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,759 often point out about our show is that i 245 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:03,440 have like a very annoying voice and 246 00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:04,879 dimitri has like a very 247 00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:07,360 a sonorous like uh malicious sort of 248 00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,720 beautiful one which wasn't something 249 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:10,240 that i thought of as being a dynamic of 250 00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:11,199 the podcast but i just thought that 251 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:12,000 since we 252 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:13,759 talked like at such length like all the 253 00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:15,280 time you know it would just be a natural 254 00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:17,039 fit and we always had an interest in 255 00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,879 you know in the uh called the dimitri 256 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:20,879 particularly in conspiracies and that 257 00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,080 type of thing and i've always been 258 00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:24,319 interested in religion spirituality in 259 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,319 particular you know esoteric 260 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,319 forms of that so i felt like we had kind 261 00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:30,000 of intersection of interests and 262 00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:31,120 when we were kind of talking about what 263 00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:33,039 the podcast theme would be that was 264 00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:36,080 naturally what we gravitated to so yeah 265 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:39,440 that's kind of the the short genesis of 266 00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:40,640 it i don't know if you wanted to add 267 00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:41,839 anything to that dimitri 268 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:43,760 uh well we'll call it khalid one one 269 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,600 second there because i i totally get 270 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:47,200 that and that's super interesting 271 00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:50,240 what about you know personally you guys 272 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:52,080 don't reveal a lot you guys are really 273 00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,560 kind of 274 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,800 off the radar a little bit i mean 275 00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,959 personally about you know how old are 276 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,640 you what is your background what did you 277 00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:00,959 do before this what do you do now 278 00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,519 i mean what are you without revealing 279 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:05,920 yeah we're millennials i'm an academic 280 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:08,399 yeah i'm in academia and yeah yeah i 281 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:09,839 work on like islamic intellectual 282 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:10,399 history 283 00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:13,440 is what my my research is and 284 00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:16,720 yeah yeah as for me i live in los 285 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:18,320 angeles that's another thing about us 286 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:18,880 we're 287 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:22,160 on both coasts so yes right we used to 288 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,680 live in the same place but not for many 289 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,040 years which is kind of why the 290 00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,600 the skype and zoom brainstorming 291 00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:29,040 sessions started to begin with but i've 292 00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:29,839 been in la 293 00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,680 for like about a decade and i've worked 294 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:33,920 kind of in and around the film business 295 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:37,200 and like khalid said i've done uh a 296 00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:38,080 decent amount of 297 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:40,959 a decent bit of screenwriting kind of in 298 00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:41,920 the periphery 299 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,959 of hollywood and a lot of the scripts 300 00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:45,760 that i 301 00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:47,839 had worked on maybe over the last five 302 00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:49,120 or six years 303 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:51,040 a lot of them had a very heavy 304 00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:52,640 historical bent or you know they were 305 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,880 either biopics or historical things 306 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,640 so i ended up doing tons of research 307 00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:58,640 into certain topics 308 00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:01,040 that led me down these rabbit holes 309 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,480 where i just kept digging further and 310 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,399 further and further and 311 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:06,720 then kind of that that's actually where 312 00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:08,320 i think kind of my 313 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:10,160 interest in quote-unquote conspiracy 314 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,360 culture really 315 00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:13,600 took off and then yeah i know i've 316 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:15,040 worked as a video editor 317 00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:17,760 and a bunch of other things around you 318 00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,079 know 319 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:20,480 la and like the entertainment business 320 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:21,519 nothing that you would like 321 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,839 notice if i like shattered it out right 322 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:24,720 now but 323 00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,160 you know just a lot of things here and 324 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,320 there so yeah that's like we do have 325 00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,600 kind of like an arts 326 00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:31,519 background to some extent which i think 327 00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:32,880 is like an interesting 328 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,480 angle to take you know we talk a lot 329 00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:36,720 about hollywood and cinema 330 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:39,440 and you know that kind of are the the 331 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:40,240 art form 332 00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:42,720 and kind of more contemporary sense 333 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:43,760 because also 334 00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:45,600 like part of the reason i think besides 335 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,839 the pandemic that finally really pushed 336 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:49,680 us into starting the podcast was 337 00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,880 this feeling that hollywood is less and 338 00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:54,160 less amenable 339 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:55,680 certainly to the types of projects i had 340 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:57,519 been working on for five years and you 341 00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,880 know in some cases 342 00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:00,880 for example they were critical uh they 343 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:02,160 had themes in it that were critical of 344 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:03,680 the united states military 345 00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:06,000 and i found out in a very subtle way 346 00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:08,079 going to dozens and dozens of meetings 347 00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:08,399 and 348 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:10,399 you know with the producers executives 349 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:12,000 and stuff and a couple times people 350 00:11:16,069 --> 00:11:13,360 you know kind of told me under their 351 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,079 breath look man you know 352 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:18,000 anything that has the military that has 353 00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:19,600 anything negative about the military in 354 00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:20,320 it is not 355 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:22,320 going to get funding from the military 356 00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:23,680 you know you know they give out free 357 00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:25,600 stuff if you write something about them 358 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:28,000 and if they and but then they get script 359 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,959 approval on it 360 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:30,560 and so if you write something that they 361 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,720 don't approve of then the budget of your 362 00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,320 project just skyrocketed 363 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:36,079 and therefore most producers are loath 364 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,519 to even kind of get involved and that's 365 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:39,360 why you basically don't see any 366 00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:42,720 anti-war or empire critical content 367 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:44,079 coming out of hollywood i think 368 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,000 probably since like the iraq war days 369 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,160 was the last little tiny bird instead 370 00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:50,000 it's all about how brave the cia is and 371 00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:51,200 stuff so 372 00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:52,639 that that's kind of maybe more of my 373 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:54,480 like personal motivation of being very 374 00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:56,320 frustrated in hollywood and realizing 375 00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:56,800 that 376 00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:59,120 there is so much so many layers of 377 00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:00,000 subtle 378 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,600 kind of massaging and certain doors 379 00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:05,279 allowed to be out you know certain doors 380 00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:05,680 open 381 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,959 other ones closed it's kind of this very 382 00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:10,639 you know you could almost say subliminal 383 00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:13,839 system of of gatekeeping and and like 384 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:15,519 in a kind of way that you know and i 385 00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:17,200 think both of us you know having done 386 00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,040 creative writing like understand that 387 00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:21,519 you know there's ideological content let 388 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:22,959 me interject something here 389 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:24,880 and either one of you guys can address 390 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:26,399 it but directly to you dimitri because i 391 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:27,600 was just thinking about this the other 392 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:28,480 day 393

00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:34,240 older than that but i appreciate that 397 00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:35,440 you're 398 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:37,920 not afraid to go back and kind of dig 399 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:39,920 through some recent history so 400 00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:42,240 you know michael aquino is one of the 401 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:43,519 first 402 00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:46,240 shows that kind of caught my attention 403 00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:47,519 the kind of 404 00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,720 high satanic priest and chaplain in the 405 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:52,880 united states

to a certain extent 413 00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,519 what your show does by by its 414 00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:11,040 willingness to go 415 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,560 back you know even like you

00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,880 business as usual sense 423 00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:26,639 about that dimitri you know when you 424 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:28,399 talk about hollywood in the last 10 425 00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:29,600 years and what's going on 426 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:33,200 [\h__\h] man that's a business ass freaking 427 00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:36,240 you know normal oh a hundred percent a 428 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,000 hundred percent and i think the more 429 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:39,680 that i've i've had to revise 430 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:42,079 even my own history and even under some 431 00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:43,600 some of the most recent episodes i've 432 00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:45,440 discovered new things that throw 433 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:47,199 even yeah the further back history of 434 00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,560 hollywood in 435 00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:50,320 quite a different light that you know i 436 00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:52,000 realized that yeah no that's been a 437 00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:54,000 gradual process of discoveries that 438 00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:55,600 hollywood's always been it's always been 439 00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:57,279 hollywood babylon you know what i mean 440 00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:58,800 from like the very beginning 441 00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:01,279 it's always been a dirty business and i 442 00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:02,720 think it's just sort of like it's 443 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:04,720 it they're new things manifesting i 444 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,760 think the really 445 00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,360 the only thing that's kind of really new 446 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:10,079 in the last 10 years in particular 447 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,199 is the um hybridization or some would 448 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:14,880 say you know takeover 449 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:17,279 of of hollywood by silicon valley and 450 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,480 the tech companies 451 00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:20,480 and now that is like they are actually 452 00:14:24,069 --> 00:14:22,079 in within a span of about 453 00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:24,079 five to seven years they've become kind 454 00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:25,680 of the undisputed hegemons 455 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,639 of the entire like movie business and 456 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,560 you know but even that goes back so much 457 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:32,399 further to say that you know oh they 458 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:33,120 just started 459 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:34,800 kind of interacting with one another in 460 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:36,480 the 2010s they do 461 00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:37,680 you know i mean these are the two 462 00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:39,839 biggest industries in california 463 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:41,440 you know it makes sense that they would 464 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:43,600 have overlap going further back and also 465 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,480 just with the 466 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:46,720 the the satanism thing i mean you know 467 00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:48,639 we've talked a lot about the 60s 468 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:51,040 and that's another big like ontological 469 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:51,839 breakthrough 470 00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:54,160 that i think you know i i had over the 471 00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:55,600 last few years is that 472 00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,800 the 60s were not exactly what we were 473 00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:00,160 commonly told they were 474 00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:02,240 whether whether you kind of agree with 475 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:03,680 the 60s or 476 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,600 you think that they were stupid because 477 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,959 america rules or so 478 00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,720 hippies were bad or something like that 479 00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:10,480 you know like both of those 480 00:15:14,069 --> 00:15:12,240 narratives are kind of wrong and that 481 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:14,079 there was so much more going on 482 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:17,120 in terms of like social manipulation 483 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:19,600 that and and cultural manipulation that 484 00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:20,160 is so 485 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,000 baked into our culture now that it's 486 00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:24,240 like that that's maybe 487 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:25,760 that kind of fuels us i think on our 488 00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:28,399 deepest dives is we have to unpack all 489 00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:28,880 this 490 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,320 built 491 00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:34,240 over uh decades and in some cases 492 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,079 centuries you know if we're talking 493 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:38,079 about the united states overall 494 00:15:41,749 --> 00:15:40,160 that you know to get at the kind of 495 00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,759 truth or try to apprehend 496 00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:44,079 kind of where we're really at i think 497 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:45,440 you do have to 498 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:47,040 yeah you have to dig back and then you 499 00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:48,399 do fine i think you're absolutely 500 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,959 correct 501 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,959 that it ain't nothing new under the sun 502 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:52,240 as we'd love to see yeah 503 00:15:56,069 --> 00:15:54,000 that's one of our i think a historical 504 00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:56,079 methodology is very valuable because 505 00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:57,040 there's two 506 00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:58,480 it's really a dialectical thing because 507 00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:00,320 yeah like as demetrius said often times 508 00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:01,600 our refrain is there's nothing new under 509 00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:02,480 the sun which is 510 00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:03,759 you know something that we say kind of 511 00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:05,920 ironically it's a reference to a 512 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:08,000 kind of a reactionary podcast that we 513 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:10,160 stumbled upon it was a little bit of a 514 00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,160 fascist uh convo ongoing between two 515 00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:16,399 esteemed mikes but uh yeah michael 516 00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:18,079 schumer the bin laden hunter i think 517 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:19,199 that there's a lot of value to 518 00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:20,639 historical methodology because yeah on 519 00:16:24,949 --> 00:16:22,000 one hand you have what we 520 00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:24,959 mentioned but on the other it's you it's 521 00:16:27,749 --> 00:16:26,480 often good to have a granular approach 522 00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:27,759 and something that is very encouraged 523 00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:28,320 when 524 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:30,320 you're dealing with historical topics is 525 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:31,839 to really 526 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:33,519 hone in on the fine differences to find 527 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,880 distinctions between 528 00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:36,480 uh different things and you can do you 529 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:37,920 could do see i think that 530 00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:40,000 there are changes and i think that we 531 00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:42,079 try to stress the dialectic between 532 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:45,120 these uh overarching trends you know one 533 00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:45,440 of 534 00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:46,720 these broad trends these you know things 535 00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:48,720 that happened in the long tere versus 536 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:49,519 things that 537 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,759 you need to transform in in the 538 00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,759 microcosm and i think that yeah that's 539 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:56,000 part of historical approach is to 540 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,720 show the the changes and to to show the 541 00:17:02,069 --> 00:17:00,320 way these things evolve and develop and 542 00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:02,079 a lot of time yet there are continuities 543 00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:03,680 but there are also breaks like i think 544 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:05,520 that the cultural history especially the 545 00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:06,400 history of art 546 00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:07,839 which you mentioned is very interesting 547 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,679 because you know at the surface level 548 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:11,679 a lot of time people get into the sort 549 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,199 of hidden world and they want to deal 550 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,280 with uh hidden knowledge like occult a 551 00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:16,880 subject's you know it's something that 552 00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:17,360 is a 553 00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:20,240 perennial topic in conspiracy uh culture 554 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:22,160 and conspiracy discourse which is 555 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:23,600 something that we definitely touch on a 556 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,919 lot 557 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:26,160 in our in our podcast and something that 558 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:27,520 came to this four i think 559 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,360 is a good example during the sort of 560 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:31,440 pizzagate discourse i started at the 561 00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:33,919 the election time in 2016 was you know 562 00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:35,760 marina abramovic you know someone who's 563 00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:36,160 like 564 00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:38,160 pretty well you're known to people who 565 00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:39,200 are 566 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:41,600 involved in art or in performance art or 567 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:43,039 have a knowledge of that type of thing 568 00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:43,440 but 569 00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:44,720 this is breaking into a totally 570 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:46,720 different field where people who 571 00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:48,400 had never had any contact with this 572 00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:50,400 stuff are like what is this like oh my 573 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:51,840 god like you know so it's very 574 00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:52,799 interesting to explore you know these 575 00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,600 topics are very 576 00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:55,600 of great interest to people but there 577 00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:57,440 isn't much for one i think that 578 00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,039 in general like in american culture 579 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:01,200 there's a lack of historical awareness 580 00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:02,640 writ large like people's politics are 581 00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:04,400 very underdeveloped because of 582 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:06,320 their lack of historical appreciation 583 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:07,760 but particularly like in the domain of 584 00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:08,480 culture 585 00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:10,480 and the the like art is something that's 586 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:12,640 marginalized anyway it's importance in 587 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:13,440 shaping uh 588 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:16,320 culture and shaping our you know in our 589 00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:18,000 society and our relationships with 590 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:19,200 with each other and with different 591 00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:20,640 institutions but i think that in 592 00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:21,840 particular the history of art the 593 00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:22,960 cultural evolution of art and the link 594 00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:24,000 between art and 595 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:27,520 the way that these sort of elite 596 00:18:30,549 --> 00:18:29,120 subcultures move together 597 00:18:32,230 --> 00:18:30,559 that's something that's very interesting 598 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:32,240 and it's a story that's not 599 00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:33,760 really well appreciated like within 600 00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:36,480 those discursive fields i think 601 00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:38,640 see i i don't know and that's where i 602 00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:39,840 guess i when i 603 00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:42,400 shot you this uh email and i said i i 604 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:44,240 want to get to terra firma 605 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:47,360 because you know and and i just did a 606 00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:47,679 book 607 00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:50,960 why evil matters and the kind of premise 608 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:51,600 of the book 609 00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:55,120 was that we've been intentionally 610 00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:57,679 kind of given the bait and bait and 611 00:19:02,230 --> 00:18:59,760 switch not really but with evil but 612 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:02,240 we have a materialistic science that 613 00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:03,039 says 614 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:05,039 evil doesn't exist yeah you're a 615 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:06,480 biological robot in a meaningless 616 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:08,240 universe it's a social construct and 617 00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:15,990 but then on the other hand we we got the 618 00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:17,440 the only other we're kind of given this 619 00:19:20,789 --> 00:19:18,400 forced choice 620 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:20,799 or if you're going to you know explore 621 00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:22,240 the possibility of evil and what that 622 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:23,120 would mean from 623 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:25,120 for yourself personally what that would 624 00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:26,240 mean 625 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:28,000 is there a moral imperative how should i 626 00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:29,280 lead my life kind of thing 627 00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:31,039 then you're kind of forced over to 628 00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,960 religious dogma and it says oh 629 00:19:36,549 --> 00:19:34,720 hold on buddy you had a spiritual 630 00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:36,559 experience let me jump right in the 631 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,280 middle of that 632 00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:39,360 let me be the intermediary between you 633 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:40,720 and your spiritual experience 634 00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:42,799 and tell you exactly what it was see and 635 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,440 i had all this great material 636 00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:47,760 and then you blew it because i found out 637 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:48,559 khalid 638 00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:51,120 you really are a muslim and i was like 639 00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:52,559 whoa i was going to do this whole thing 640 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:53,120 on ed 641 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,240 opperman whose show you're on and say i 642 00:19:58,789 --> 00:19:58,080 love ed operman i've supported at 643 00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:58,799 operman 644 00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:02,000 on various times but he's a big 645 00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:03,840 tent fundamentalist christian that 646 00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,120 believes that there's this book that has 647 00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:09,679 answers to how we should live our life 648 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,640 and talk about 649 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:12,400 conspiracy which has been my kind of 650 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,679 thing lately is 651 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:16,240 unwilling to explore the possibility 652 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:17,280 that the cons 653 00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:19,200 that really the authors of the book were 654 00:20:24,149 --> 00:20:21,440 part of a social engineering project 655 00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:24,159 and using the well-worn play of 656 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:26,000 throughout history but that the romans 657 00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:27,200 really perfected 658 00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:30,400 which is like sure rocks and arrows are 659 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:32,720 are great but if i can control you by 660 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:33,760 controlling 661 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:35,840 and rescripting your religion all the 662 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:37,200 better so 663 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:40,799 i don't know where where did to me 664 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:44,240 that kind of trumps the 665 00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:47,440 art history thing of getting to the 666 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,240 fundamental 667 00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:50,400 reality of what we're talking about with 668 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:52,080 something like 669 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:54,799 evil or satanic or you know whatever 670 00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:55,600 these 671 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:56,960 players are doing things are very 672 00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:58,320 interesting i mean i think that the best 673 00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:00,080 art does deal with those topics and 674 00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,080 there is a philosophical dimension to 675 00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:04,559 uh what art engages with i mean even i 676 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:05,200 think that 677 00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:07,280 marina bromfish you know her work really 678 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:08,480 does deal with those questions and 679 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:10,559 it has the symbology of it so powerful 680 00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:11,840 to people is because 681 00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:14,080 uh performance art does have a ritual 682 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:15,440 dimension to it which touches on these 683 00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:16,000 religious 684 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,360 ideas you know that's uh it's the 685 00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:19,200 intersection that creates the the 686 00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:20,640 interest so i think that yeah absolutely 687 00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:21,600 you're right and we do 688 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:23,440 often deal with these ideas on the show 689 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:24,960 i mean our show is very heavily uh 690 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:26,640 inspired by these questions around 691 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:28,240 religious ontology and these core 692 00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:30,080 concepts but yeah i think that you know 693 00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:31,360 well for one 694 00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:33,360 muslims i certainly don't necessarily 695 00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:35,679 disagree with uh what you said about 696 00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:38,000 about christianity it's a pretty uh 697 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:39,679 common notion but 698 00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:41,760 you know of course there's wait a minute 699 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:43,120 hold on hold on full stop 700 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,799 full stop if we're going to go there i 701 00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:46,400 mean you guys are still looking at the 702 00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:47,919 book and saying the book has all the 703 00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:48,799 rules 704 00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:50,159 whether it's the old testament or 705 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:51,760 whether it's the quran you're still 706 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:52,240 saying 707 00:21:55,990 --> 00:21:55,280 hey it comes through this book and let's 708 00:21:59,430 --> 00:21:56,000 just be real 709 00:22:01,110 --> 00:21:59,440 for most people you just go for real 710 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:01,120 really color that's you believe there's 711 00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:02,880 this book there's this magic 712 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:04,640 that's true for most people i think that 713 00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:06,240 most people do believe something like 714 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,919 that about a book and we don't believe 715 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:09,600 that it's magic we believe that it's a 716 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:12,320 prophetic revelation from a allah but 717 00:22:16,789 --> 00:22:14,720 the fact is that there's always some 718 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:16,799 interpretations of of the book you know 719 00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:18,480 the interpretation of the book is a 720 00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:20,559 is something that happens in between the 721 00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:22,159 text itself you know there's something 722 00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:23,360 and this is something that you know 723 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:24,880 islamic philosophers and islamic 724 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:26,640 thinkers like always acknowledge that 725 00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:28,960 something happens in between the in the 726 00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:30,960 act of reading you know the quran is 727 00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:32,799 first existed verbally you know this is 728 00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:34,080 something that you know 729 00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:36,640 or and you know it it's reading and it's 730 00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:37,440 also 731 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,960 uh recitation you know it's something 732 00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:40,640 that when you recite the quran and it's 733 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:41,200 an act 734 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:44,000 it takes place with your entire body and 735 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:45,120 you know there's a bit of a digression 736 00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:46,720 but there's always an interpretive 737 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,000 practice that happens and that's why 738 00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:50,080 within islam there's so many different 739 00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:52,000 interpretations of the quran if you go 740 00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:53,679 through history you know you even have 741 00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:56,000 esoteric sex that interpret the quran in 742 00:22:58,549 --> 00:22:57,440 in completely different ways you know 743 00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:58,559 people who read 744 00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:00,240 the words you know a lot of the quran 745 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:01,919 isn't cut and dry some of it is and the 746 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:03,600 quran itself says that some 747 00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:06,240 verses are straightforward and others 748 00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:06,640 are 749 00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:08,559 majes you know they're allegorical 750 00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:10,159 they're open to different sort of 751 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,520 interpretations and the 752 00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:13,280 but it doesn't specify which are which 753 00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,559 so there's great uh sort of 754 00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:16,400 debate about this you know the the 755 00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:18,240 divinity of the quran doesn't 756 00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:21,280 really minimize the what you're talking 757 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:22,799 about i think or what you're getting at 758 00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:23,840 the fact that 759 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:25,840 there is a dimension of of human 760 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:27,360 interpretation you know it's about 761 00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:28,799 the interaction with the book you know 762 00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:31,200 no book exists without the reader you 763 00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:33,120 know it only exists in so far as we read 764 00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:34,960 it and engage with it and interpret it 765 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,520 so to you know the book can't just 766 00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:39,120 program us you know it's not like it's a 767 00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:41,120 software that we insert into ourselves 768 00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:42,880 you know maybe some muslims would like 769 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:44,240 it if that were the case but 770 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:45,520 that's not really just how these 771 00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:47,760 religions unfold historically you know 772 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:49,200 french adoption of being a born-again 773 00:23:53,110 --> 00:23:50,880 christian you know his interpretation of 774 00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:53,120 the bible or even the role of the bible 775 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:54,480 is going to be different than from like 776 00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:55,840 a catholic or something like that 777 00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:58,480 so it just doesn't hold up to this kind 778 00:24:01,029 --> 00:24:00,080 of scrutiny and this isn't where i was 779 00:24:03,190 --> 00:24:01,039 planning on going 780 00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:03,200 with this show but i i've now stacked up 781 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,400 about 10 shows on 782 00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:06,640 got i just got super interested in the 783 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,760 origins of 784 00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,600 christianity because it really the 785 00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:11,120 further you dig in 786 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:14,320 it has all the all the fingerprints 787 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:17,520 of a psyop and the real giveaway is 788 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:19,840 josephus right josephus who is the 789 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,039 quote-unquote 790 00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:23,440 roman historian he's not really a yes 791 00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:25,600 historian he's a propaganda agent for 792 00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:26,480 the romans 793 00:24:33,029 --> 00:24:29,919 but yeah yeah you can't get past 794 00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:33,039 josephus and then just jump right 795 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:36,159 into the quran and say oh we can 796 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:39,760 it all flows together if josephus is 797 00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:42,960 is a propaganda agent who is 798 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:46,159 trying to co-opt judaism in favor of the 799 00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:48,159 roman empire first is what he does 800 00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:50,240 and i can show you exactly the passage 801 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:51,360 and more of the jews 802 00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:53,840 where he says hey you jews you got it 803 00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:54,960 wrong you know 804 00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:56,640 we you've been looking for the messiah 805 00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:58,720 born on our soil 806 00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:00,159 what you really should have been looking 807 00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:02,799 at is vespasian the emperor you know 808 00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:05,919 uh titus's father he's really so 809 00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:08,080 the point is not getting off into that 810 00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:09,760 whole thing which my audience has heard 811 00:25:15,669 --> 00:25:13,360 50 times now is getting tired of 812 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:15,679 you gotta process that in this whole 813 00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:16,559 thing you 814 00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:17,840 you can't say oh well then there's 815 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:19,120 catholics and there's well there's 816 00:25:21,990 --> 00:25:20,720 protestants and they do it this way and 817 00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:22,000 the mormons have taken 818 00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:25,120 no if the thing fails at that level 819 00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:28,240 at first century rome psyopping 820 00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:30,480 religion that then spawns all those 821 00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:31,360 religions 822 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:34,720 islam and judaism and christianity in 823 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:35,760 all its forms 824 00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:37,679 you've got to get back and if it doesn't 825 00:25:43,350 --> 00:25:41,039 hold it doesn't hold you can't just 826 00:25:44,149 --> 00:25:43,360 gloss over it with you know convenient 827 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:44,159 well it's 828 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:45,440 allegorical and you know the 829 00:25:49,430 --> 00:25:47,279 interpretation of it is 830 00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:49,440 i believe that people can have a genuine 831 00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:50,880 spiritual experience 832 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,520 because the science kind of is 833 00:25:56,149 --> 00:25:55,440 overwhelming for example the near-death 834 00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:56,159 experience 835 00:25:59,669 --> 00:25:58,640 science you can't get past it it blows 836 00:26:03,590 --> 00:25:59,679 neurology 837 00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:03,600 the water and every culture throughout 838 00:26:07,830 --> 00:26:05,760 time has said there is such a thing as 839 00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:07,840 this spiritual experience but i just 840 00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:09,120 don't think the book 841 00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:12,480 thing really holds up can i ask a 842 00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:14,080 question 843 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:17,600 related to this so i if you believe and 844 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:20,240 i'm i'm open to entertaining this idea 845 00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:23,840 you if you believe that say christianity 846 00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:24,640 or 847 00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:27,120 judaism and all the abrahamic tradition 848 00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:28,320 that followed from it was a 849 00:26:32,070 --> 00:26:30,400 psyop do you believe that it was one 850 00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:32,080 continuous group 851 00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:34,640 or kind of order or something like that 852 00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:35,279 like who 853 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:36,960 who would you pause it was behind this i 854 00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:38,720 mean i guess i i could definitely see 855 00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:41,279 vespasian and the romans particularly 856 00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:42,720 from josephus up to 857 00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:44,880 you know theodosius and constantine 858 00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:46,159 basically co-opting 859 00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:48,640 christianity and then you know cloaking 860 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:49,840 themselves in it you know 861 00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:52,720 in like the 300s but who would you say 862 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:53,600 you know if there's 863 00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:56,080 if the you know the the jewish text 864 00:26:58,470 --> 00:26:57,360 going way way back 865 00:27:00,070 --> 00:26:58,480 if it was all a sight do you think it 866 00:27:01,029 --> 00:27:00,080 was the same psyop or do you think it's 867 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:01,039 different elites 868 00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:03,760 throughout history have weaponized 869 00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:04,799 spiritual 870 00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:08,720 ritual practice and religious dogma 871 00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:11,279 i don't know but i would i think it's a 872 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:13,440 fantastic question i would definitely 873 00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:14,320 definitely 874 00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:16,320 assume that it's the latter because if 875 00:27:19,909 --> 00:27:17,760 you really look at 876 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:19,919 the possibility and explore it and i'm 877 00:27:24,070 --> 00:27:20,960 like in 878 00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:24,080 conversation email and interview 879 00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:24,960 conversation 880 00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:27,039 with leading you know biblical and 881 00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:28,159 religious scholars 882 00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:30,159 who most of them are telling me i'm full 883 00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:32,640 of [\h__\h] but some of them are saying 884 00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:34,320 yeah come on that's really the only way 885 00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:36,399 to kind of process that but if you do 886 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:39,360 process it what you wind up with is 887 00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:40,880 josephus's first 888 00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:44,399 attempt at this is to kind of 889 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:46,799 co-op judaism right because that's when 890 00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:49,120 he says vespasian is the emperor well 891 00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:50,720 that has nothing to do with christianity 892 00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:51,600 it's it's wait 893 00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:54,080 it's actually written after supposedly 894 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:55,600 the historical jesus lived 895 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:57,279 but it's really an attempt just to kind 896 00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:58,799 of quell so 897 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,520 to to see it as this kind of continuous 898 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:03,360 psyop that's played over hundreds of 899 00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:03,840 years 900 00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:07,120 i think is is is silly but to have it 901 00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:09,919 like we see today you know it's just 902 00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:11,039 it's a play 903 00:28:15,029 --> 00:28:14,720 in the playbook it's gloria steinem you 904 00:28:16,149 --> 00:28:15,039 know 905 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:16,159 people get tired of hearing me talk 906 00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:19,440 about that it's glorious signum cia 907 00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:21,039 sticker in the women's movement we'll 908 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:22,640 figure out how to use it later 909 00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:25,120 it's laurel canyon stick those guys up 910 00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:26,080 there on the stage 911 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:28,080 we don't have to have a definitive plan 912 00:28:31,029 --> 00:28:29,200 on how we'll use it 913 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:31,039 let's just make sure we're in that game 914 00:28:37,669 --> 00:28:33,600 kind of thing so if i had to guess 915 00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:37,679 that's how i think it it it happens 916 00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:39,200 yeah okay i mean yeah i got the 917 00:28:43,430 --> 00:28:41,600 phenomenon that does occur 918 00:28:45,029 --> 00:28:43,440 but i don't think that like yeah i kind 919 00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:45,039 of agree with dimitri's always 920 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:46,080 implication that i 921 00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:47,840 you know i think that's a very different 922 00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:50,000 thing to talk about the origins of islam 923 00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:51,760 and the origins of christianity you know 924 00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:53,200 i think that there is certainly a muslim 925 00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:54,559 critique of christianity you know we 926 00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:55,279 don't really 927 00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:57,279 follow the bible itself you know the new 928 00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:58,640 testament we don't believe is 929 00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:00,480 you know the actual ngo generally 930 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:02,000 speaking you know there might be some 931 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:03,200 some difference but 932 00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:04,720 yeah there's a it's a very different 933 00:29:09,669 --> 00:29:06,320 context you know 934 00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:09,679 just years later yeah yeah and just also 935 00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:10,880 to do what i 936 00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:12,720 love to do on our podcast which is like 937 00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:15,120 uh shoehorn marxism into conversations 938 00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:16,640 about religion and vice versa 939 00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:19,120 it doesn't even remind me of a lot of 940 00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:20,880 time kind of like the anthony sutton 941 00:29:25,510 --> 00:29:22,640 like hoover institute type 942 00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:25,520 sort of conspiracy speculation about 943 00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:28,320 karl marx about lennon about trotsky how 944 00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:30,000 you know i've even heard that you know 945 00:29:32,630 --> 00:29:31,520 stalin was was working for the 946 00:29:35,029 --> 00:29:32,640 rothschilds 947 00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:35,039 and everything about the history of like 948 00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:36,559 the bolshevik revolution 949 00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:38,559 and 20th century socialism and the cold 950 00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:39,600 war and all that stuff 951 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:42,000 was just like a hegelian dialectic ain't 952 00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:43,279 nothing to the sun 953 00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:45,120 just the banker family sponsoring 954 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:46,720 different factions and 955 00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:49,440 and and that that maybe in a similar way 956 00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:49,919 where it's 957 00:29:54,230 --> 00:29:52,480 where khalid would push back on you know 958 00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:54,240 intimations of the quran was cynically 959 00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:56,159 like manufactured i i would too 960 00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:58,720 probably yeah maybe trotsky but for the 961 00:30:04,549 --> 00:30:01,279 most part that you know and 962 00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:04,559 regardless of kind of like how the ideas 963 00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:05,039 that are 964 00:30:08,590 --> 00:30:07,200 you know left behind in these books were 965 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:08,600 kind of taken by other people and 966 00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:10,080 instrumentalized and 967 00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:11,919 what unfolded in the history after that 968 00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:13,279 i don't know maybe it's a kind of thing 969 00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:13,760 where 970 00:30:18,310 --> 00:30:15,360 you need to have at least something that 971 00:30:19,830 --> 00:30:18,320 you choose to put some kind of faith in 972 00:30:21,430 --> 00:30:19,840 if you're going to be erratically 973 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:21,440 critically paranoid about everything 974 00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:22,799 else i don't know but 975 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:25,279 well i guess where i'm coming from and 976 00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:27,120 and then we can kind of ease off of this 977 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,240 because 978 00:30:31,510 --> 00:30:30,640 terra firma is where i'm coming from so 979 00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:31,520 consciousness 980 00:30:34,950 --> 00:30:33,360 and you know like when we did you guys 981 00:30:35,269 --> 00:30:34,960 did this survey for me and you played 982 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:35,279 along 983 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:36,799 was awesome and i have such a better 984 00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:38,080 sense for where you're coming from and i 985 00:30:41,029 --> 00:30:38,960 wouldn't have known 986 00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:41,039 otherwise so i appreciate that but where 987 00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:43,360 i started this investigation was really 988 00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:45,120 kind of looking at it from a scientific 989 00:30:50,710 --> 00:30:46,960 standpoint does the 990 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:50,720 kind of atheist intellectualized 991 00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:54,080 academia kind of humanist approach 992 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:56,000 does it really make sense that is your 993 00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:57,360 biological robot in a meaningless 994 00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:58,880 universe get over it 995 00:31:03,269 --> 00:31:00,880 you know get your credit card out and go 996 00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:03,279 to black friday because that's all you 997 00:31:06,870 --> 00:31:04,000 have to live for 998 00:31:08,750 --> 00:31:06,880 life is meaningless and i find that that 999 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:08,760 doesn't that isn't supportable 1000 00:31:13,110 --> 00:31:10,799 philosophically and it's really not 1001 00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:13,120 supportable scientifically at all 1002 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:15,120 and i came to conclu i came to the 1003 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:16,640 conclusion after 1004 00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:18,960 way too long and way too many interviews 1005 00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:19,919 that that wasn't 1006 00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:22,480 accidental that that was an engineered 1007 00:31:25,509 --> 00:31:24,399 socially engineered message is to make 1008 00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:25,519 you feel meaningless 1009 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:27,360 make you feel you have no spiritual 1010 00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,880 connection to anything more 1011 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:30,320 because you're easier to control and 1012 00:31:33,509 --> 00:31:32,880 manipulate so that was my starting point 1013 00:31:36,789 --> 00:31:33,519 but then 1014 00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:36,799 that also led me into how would we 1015 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:39,760 in a pre-scientific using scientific 1016 00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:40,880 methods and ideas 1017 00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:43,440 how would we explore this extended 1018 00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:44,880 consciousness that everyone's talking 1019 00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:45,279 about 1020 00:31:48,070 --> 00:31:46,320 and that's why i think it's so 1021 00:31:49,990 --> 00:31:48,080 interesting like because i do want to 1022 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,000 get back onto the stuff that you 1023 00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:52,080 guys talk about because i'm totally 1024 00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:53,840 sincere in what i said you guys have 1025 00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,720 this deep dive 1026 00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:56,000 and i want to learn from you because i 1027 00:31:59,190 --> 00:31:57,679 already do unless i learn from you every 1028 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:59,200 time i listen to your shows 1029 00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:00,799 but one thing i always point out to 1030 00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:03,440 people i point to mkultra 1031 00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:06,640 and i point to

presuppose 1047 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:37,919 whatever that satanic whatever we're 1048 00:32:42,549 --> 00:32:40,159 going to call it that there are these 1049 00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:42,559 other

the point being i 1059 00:33:02,710 --> 00:32:58,960 think 1060 00:33:03,110 --> 00:33:02,720 i'm not poking at islam to like make 1061 00:33:06,870 --> 00:33:03,120 some 1062 00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:06,880 joke i'm poking at it because i think we 1063 00:33:12,070 --> 00:33:09,519 fundamentally in order to understand 1064 00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:12,080 aquino in order to understand the 1065 00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:13,760 military industrial 1066 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:15,840 complex which is completely wrapped 1067 00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:17,760 around inseparable 1068 00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:20,480 from michael aquino i think we have to 1069 00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:21,360 understand 1070 00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:24,960 what there is there when it comes to 1071 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:26,960 these extended consciousness realms 1072 00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:29,840 and the if we're if your definition of 1073 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:32,000 those extended consciousness realms 1074 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:35,360 is wait let me get my book out then i'm 1075 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:36,799 like whoa 1076 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:40,240 i'm not so sure on that ed opperman 1077 00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:44,159 yeah well yeah i think that well for one 1078 00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:44,799 to me 1079 00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:46,000 what you're talking about in terms of 1080 00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:48,399 spiritual experience you know to me like 1081 00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:48,720 the 1082 00:33:55,669 --> 00:33:52,640 quran is sort of a record of like a 1083 00:33:56,870 --> 00:33:55,679 profound spiritual moment in time you 1084 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:56,880 know and i think that 1085 00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:59,760 that is why people uh look to this and i 1086 00:34:02,870 --> 00:34:00,880 think that 1087 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:02,880 that is in terms of trying to understand 1088 00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:04,159 these type of things the spiritual 1089 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:06,159 dimension of human life 1090 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,360 i think part of the scythe you're 1091 00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:09,599 talking about part of the attempt to 1092 00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:10,720 sort of disconnect us 1093 00:34:15,030 --> 00:34:13,679 from our spiritual component of human 1094 00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:15,040 experience and to 1095 00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:17,119 make us feel like what cpus is sloppy 1096 00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:18,320 discs part of that 1097 00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:20,720 is you know to go back to the the topic 1098 00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:21,359 of history 1099 00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:23,200 part of that is the the disconnect from 1100 00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:24,639 a religious tradition from 1101 00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:26,720 all the work and all the effort that's 1102 00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:28,800 been poured into these subjects because 1103 00:34:32,149 --> 00:34:30,000 whatever you want to say about them and 1104 00:34:33,990 --> 00:34:32,159 yeah like there are like flaws there may 1105 00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:34,000 be blind spots in those traditions that 1106 00:34:38,470 --> 00:34:37,200 we now are better equipped to address uh 1107 00:34:41,589 --> 00:34:38,480 lacunae but 1108 00:34:43,270 --> 00:34:41,599 there really is like a great wealth of 1109 00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:43,280 information and the problems that we 1110 00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:44,720 intercept now we try to take 1111 00:34:49,510 --> 00:34:47,200 approaches problem these topics they 1112 00:34:51,430 --> 00:34:49,520 have been encountered before 1113 00:34:52,790 --> 00:34:51,440 but people lack the historical witness 1114 00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:52,800 they lack these the 1115 00:34:56,790 --> 00:34:54,800 appreciation for and this is true of 1116 00:34:58,470 --> 00:34:56,800 religious people as well as people who 1117 00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:58,480 aren't religious you know they're i 1118 00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:00,480 think that there's a general disconnect 1119 00:35:04,390 --> 00:35:02,240 with the history of people's own 1120 00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:04,400 traditions and i think that that is 1121 00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:05,760 something that yeah you definitely 1122 00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:07,920 absolutely can learn about these topics 1123 00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:09,200 because it does belong 1124 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,880 to the same realm like if you're talking 1125 00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:12,400 about state and you know you're talking 1126 00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:13,520 about these being talking about 1127 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:15,359 gin things like that you know that is 1128 00:35:18,390 --> 00:35:16,720 where a lot of the work out of the 1129 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,400 groundwork has been laid and a lot of 1130 00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:20,880 there's a great continuity between and 1131 00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:22,880 people like aquino you know they go back 1132 00:35:26,790 --> 00:35:24,640 to those ideas you know aquino might go 1133 00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:26,800 back to the nazis or whatever and the 1134 00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:28,320 nazis are going to 1135 00:35:33,589 --> 00:35:31,680 you know runic paradigms as a process by 1136 00:35:36,790 --> 00:35:33,599 theosophy or whatever or like the 1137 00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:36,800 you know something yeah idea of like the 1138 00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:38,079 vedas yeah exactly 1139 00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:39,520 but these occult traditions are 1140 00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:41,200 obviously dealing with 1141 00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:44,160 the their remixes or engagements with 1142 00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:45,440 and oftentimes 1143 00:35:49,349 --> 00:35:47,440 they're imagined as being some kind of 1144 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:49,359 old long-standing 1145 00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:52,240 subversive underground movement within 1146 00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:53,680 these religious traditions you know 1147 00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:54,160 they're 1148 00:35:58,710 --> 00:35:56,320 to deal with like the much history of 1149 00:36:00,390 --> 00:35:58,720 religious like christianity or islam or 1150 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:00,400 whatever the other large religions you 1151 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:02,560 know that is part of like the study of 1152 00:36:05,829 --> 00:36:04,160 these things because they do use the 1153 00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:05,839 same terms like if 1154 00:36:09,109 --> 00:36:08,320 you know demons you know it's the same 1155 00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:09,119 thing as like 1156 00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:10,880 john d summoning demons you know these 1157 00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:12,480 things like relationships right but 1158 00:36:16,069 --> 00:36:15,119 yeah kyle i guess what i'm proposing is 1159 00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:16,079 that it's all 1160 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:19,280 a head fake it's all unnecessary because 1161 00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:21,200 the the what we're really talking about 1162 00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:23,119 is that there is this extended realm 1163 00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:24,720 that can manifest itself 1164 00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:27,280 in an unlimited number of ways and 1165 00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:29,520 there's a malevolent part of that so 1166 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:32,079 to identify it and label it this way 1167 00:36:35,349 --> 00:36:32,880 that way 1168 00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:35,359 you know oh it's a baphomet in this case 1169 00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:37,520 no that's lucifer no that's 1170 00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:40,320 you know is just kind of part of the 1171 00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:41,040 problem 1172 00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:43,680 of that need to know that you know kind 1173 00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:45,920 of need to kind of categorize it 1174 00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:49,040 and that spiritual disintermediation 1175 00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:52,079 is not that hard anyone can go within 1176 00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:54,480 anyone can say that what i'm really 1177 00:36:57,829 --> 00:36:56,000 trying to do is connect with my heart 1178 00:36:59,589 --> 00:36:57,839 to love everyone and tell the truth 1179 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,599 we've got some fundamental simply uh 1180 00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:01,920 simple ideas that you know i can read 1181 00:37:06,069 --> 00:37:04,240 one passage from the quran right i can 1182 00:37:07,349 --> 00:37:06,079 throw the rest away all i need to do is 1183 00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:07,359 try and be a good 1184 00:37:10,950 --> 00:37:10,480 person so i would almost i just think we 1185 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:10,960 need to 1186 00:37:16,390 --> 00:37:14,160 explore the possibility that the exact 1187 00:37:18,310 --> 00:37:16,400 opposite of what you're saying is true 1188 00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:18,320 is that these 1189 00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:20,400 disconnecting from religious traditions 1190 00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:22,560 is exactly what we need to do 1191 00:37:27,109 --> 00:37:24,720 and connecting directly with the 1192 00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:27,119 spirituality if it exists 1193 00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:29,040 is within us and that's why i say you 1194 00:37:32,710 --> 00:37:31,359 know you want to go study the quran 1195 00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:32,720 screw it i'll give you a better place 1196 00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:36,160 it's nderf.org 1197 00:37:40,150 --> 00:37:38,400 you can go search through 3 000 people 1198 00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:40,160 that have had a near-death experience 1199 00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:42,240 and they're all over the board there's 1200 00:37:45,990 --> 00:37:44,640 muslims there's christians there's jews 1201 00:37:48,069 --> 00:37:46,000 there's people are not religious 1202 00:37:50,150 --> 00:37:48,079 and they're having a direct spiritual 1203 00:37:53,950 --> 00:37:50,160 experience that to me 1204 00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:53,960 sounds a lot more unfiltered un 1205 00:37:57,510 --> 00:37:57,040 uncorrupted and it's just there it's 1206 00:38:01,670 --> 00:37:57,520 it's 1207 00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:01,680 nde of course you can do 1208 00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:03,920 all sorts of different practices but the 1209 00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:06,160 point is it's not hard to connect with 1210 00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:06,560 god 1211 00:38:12,870 --> 00:38:10,480 always on they're always home 1212 00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:12,880 you know just go there no it's not sure 1213 00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:14,240 it's not hard to connect with god but 1214 00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:16,400 it's also not hard to connect with with 1215 00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:18,560 satan you know yeah as a kind of maybe 1216 00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:19,599 the the 1217 00:38:24,230 --> 00:38:21,560 the person in the middle here between 1218 00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:24,240 religiosity or not religiosity 1219 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:26,560 i would just say if we are presupposing 1220 00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:27,599 a field 1221 00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:30,000 of consciousness or you know existence 1222 00:38:32,790 --> 00:38:31,839 or whatever beyond our kind of normative 1223 00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:32,800 senses 1224 00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:34,800 and uh consciousness after death and all 1225 00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:35,920 these things and 1226 00:38:39,510 --> 00:38:37,760 we're positing the existence of a spirit 1227 00:38:42,790 --> 00:38:39,520 world then i think actually 1228 00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:42,800 it's not i don't think it's uh it's too 1229 00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:46,240 outlandish to lay down maybe some 1230 00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:48,160 and maybe this is kind of a very just 1231 00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:49,839 basic practical 1232 00:38:54,150 --> 00:38:52,320 utility that that organized religion 1233 00:38:57,270 --> 00:38:54,160 religious traditions serve 1234 00:38:59,589 --> 00:38:57,280 is to kind of give you like a 1235 00:39:01,349 --> 00:38:59,599 a little bit of like some guide rails if 1236 00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:01,359 you're going to delve into that world 1237 00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:03,200 because if you're doing it completely 1238 00:39:07,589 --> 00:39:04,640 it's just like you know we've done 1239 00:39:08,069 --> 00:39:07,599 not necessarily ouija boards and seances 1240 00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:08,079 and 1241 00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:10,720 teenagers trying to summon the devil you 1242 00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:11,920 know when they're teenagers 1243 00:39:15,349 --> 00:39:13,520 it's not necessary don't try and summon 1244 00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,359 the devil just

and 1248 00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:22,880 religion has 1249 00:39:26,829 --> 00:39:25,760 has orchestrated this idea that it that 1250 00:39:29,109 --> 00:39:26,839 again it's 1251 00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:29,119 intermediary that i need to be the 1252 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:30,560 intermediary don't you 1253 00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:32,640 dare you know don't go out without your 1254 00:39:35,990 --> 00:39:34,079 mask on don't you go 1255 00:39:37,109 --> 00:39:36,000 it's kind of a version of that it's like 1256 00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:37,119 of course you need 1257 00:39:40,470 -->

00:39:44,400 stretching the word a little bit 1261 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:46,160 but again if you look at the science of 1262 00:39:51,230 --> 00:39:48,000 near-death experience and i've just 1263 00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:51,240 interviewed two of the og 1264 00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:53,760 researchers respected university of 1265 00:39:57,910 --> 00:39:56,000 virginia dr bruce grayson and then just 1266 00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:57,920 evan alexander just earlier in the week 1267 00:40:02,630 --> 00:39:59,760 i mean that's just solid science 1268 00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:02,640 the best one of the top resuscitation 1269 00:40:06,150 --> 00:40:04,079 experts in the world 1270 00:40:07,589 --> 00:40:06,160 you know all of them line up and say hey 1271 00:40:10,550 --> 00:40:07,599 these people are dead 1272 00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:10,560 the experiences that they're having post 1273 00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:11,200 death 1274 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:12,800 are unexplainable inside of our 1275 00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:14,800 neurological model i like 1276 00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:16,800 that base of information right off the 1277 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:18,960 bat because that mind trickery is out of 1278 00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:19,680 the is out of the 1279 00:40:23,190 --> 00:40:21,599 it's out of the question so when they 1280 00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:23,200 come back consistently 1281 00:40:27,990 --> 00:40:26,720 and say this is that it isn't that 1282 00:40:30,230 --> 00:40:28,000 complicated and they come back 1283 00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:30,240 consistently overwhelmingly and say 1284 00:40:34,230 --> 00:40:31,920 you know if you need if you need a 1285 00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:34,240 religion if you want that if that's your 1286 00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:37,200 thing great but there's no such thing as 1287 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:39,040 it's just not necessary what comes 1288 00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:41,680 through again and again 1289 00:40:46,309 --> 00:40:44,319 well i feel that the for one i think 1290 00:40:47,990 --> 00:40:46,319 there's always some mediation in terms 1291 00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:48,000 of experience i think that the reason 1292 00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:48,880 why 1293 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:51,119 we have these traditional accruals of 1294 00:40:53,109 --> 00:40:52,560 knowledge and why there even is a 1295 00:40:56,069 --> 00:40:53,119 practice 1296 00:40:57,589 --> 00:40:56,079 of spiritual techniques or technologies 1297 00:40:59,510 --> 00:40:57,599 of the south things like 1298 00:41:00,870 --> 00:40:59,520 prayer things like meditation like why 1299 00:41:03,030 --> 00:41:00,880 there are traditions of these things and 1300 00:41:04,630 --> 00:41:03,040 why there are alcohol practices as well 1301 00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:04,640 is because people have attempted to do 1302 00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:06,000 these things and of course you know what 1303 00:41:10,309 --> 00:41:07,440 you're saying really is 1304 00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:10,319 also like a well a well tested and old 1305 00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:11,200 idea you know 1306 00:41:14,309 --> 00:41:13,040 for from timer memorial people have been 1307 00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:14,319 like all this 1308 00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:16,160 you know all the customization as a 1309 00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:18,079 crude we always need to like break away 1310 00:41:21,109 --> 00:41:19,440 and you know go back to i mean this is 1311 00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:21,119 for instance in islam you know this is 1312 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:22,720 an idea as well you know there's the 1313 00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:25,040 idea of getting away from the 1314 00:41:28,470 --> 00:41:26,880 exoteric or even there's an elitist 1315 00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:28,480 component where they're like you know 1316 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:29,760 the exoteric is for 1317 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:31,440 people who can't quite get it but you 1318 00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:33,599 know we're at a different level of the 1319 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:34,880 sheer ad you know we're above 1320 00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:36,640 all these things but you know our 1321 00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:38,319 brotherhood for whatever reason 1322 00:41:42,069 --> 00:41:40,960 or this you know association but i you 1323 00:41:43,589 --> 00:41:42,079 know i think that 1324 00:41:45,030 --> 00:41:43,599 their for instance near those 1325 00:41:45,750 --> 00:41:45,040 experiences you know what would you say 1326 00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:45,760 to 1327 00:41:49,030 --> 00:41:47,680 people who have experienced hell like in 1328 00:41:50,390 --> 00:41:49,040 any other experience or people who what 1329 00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:50,400 about the whole like tricked by the 1330 00:41:52,950 --> 00:41:51,040 light 1331 00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:52,960 narrative you know i was recently 1332 00:41:56,069 --> 00:41:54,880 hearing about someone who had another 1333 00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:56,079 experience that was very 1334 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,560 very positive you know and they had been 1335 00:42:01,910 --> 00:42:00,000 sort of welcomed by 1336 00:42:03,430 --> 00:42:01,920 these alien beings you know sort of in a 1337 00:42:05,349 --> 00:42:03,440 gray alien mold 1338 00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:05,359 you know again like like there is some 1339 00:42:08,390 --> 00:42:06,720 consistency in these in these 1340 00:42:10,309 --> 00:42:08,400 experiences but there's also 1341 00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:10,319 a great deal of divergence you know some 1342 00:42:13,589 --> 00:42:12,079 people see jesus some people see this 1343 00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:13,599 you know but anyway in this experience 1344 00:42:16,230 --> 00:42:15,440 the person had seen these gray aliens 1345 00:42:17,910 --> 00:42:16,240 and it was a 1346 00:42:19,349 --> 00:42:17,920 loving peaceful experience but 1347 00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:19,359 afterwards you know they underwent 1348 00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:20,960 regressive hypnosis 1349 00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:23,280 and they were basically prompted by the 1350 00:42:26,470 --> 00:42:25,040 hypnotist to only experience the truths 1351 00:42:28,710 --> 00:42:26,480 of you know what they had seen 1352 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:28,720 and then their memory changed it became 1353 00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:30,000 a horrifying experience 1354 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:31,440 where in fact they were like you know 1355 00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:33,119 violated and say you know 1356 00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:35,599 abused by these same beings you know and 1357 00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:36,400 that they're they 1358 00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:38,880 they came to view it as a screen memory 1359 00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:40,319 of what they had experienced is this you 1360 00:42:42,950 --> 00:42:41,440 know beautiful experience 1361 00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:42,960 they thought oh you know this is a false 1362 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:44,640 memory that had been implanted 1363 00:42:48,309 --> 00:42:46,480 and the what really happened was what i 1364 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:48,319 now am remembering now i just feel like 1365 00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:49,839 there's a lot of hairiness there you 1366 00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:50,800 know it could be 1367 00:42:53,910 --> 00:42:52,160 the other way around it could be that in 1368 00:42:55,589 --> 00:42:53,920 the experience of hypnosis this new 1369 00:42:57,270 --> 00:42:55,599 memory came to the fore and the original 1370 00:42:59,430 --> 00:42:57,280 experience was the authentic one 1371 00:43:00,630 --> 00:42:59,440 but there's a lot of muddiness there you 1372 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:00,640 know it's very hard to 1373 00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:02,560 to really say but that is someone's 1374 00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:03,680 experience of it 1375 00:43:06,790 --> 00:43:05,680 you know so i think that these there's a 1376 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:06,800 lot of hairiness in the near 1377 00:43:12,150 --> 00:43:09,839 experiences beyond you know people do 1378 00:43:14,069 --> 00:43:12,160 see hell people you know have very 1379 00:43:16,309 --> 00:43:14,079 doctrinaire religious experiences 1380 00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:16,319 you know and some people have and i i do 1381 00:43:20,309 --> 00:43:18,000 i do wonder to what extent 1382 00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:20,319 people like on my website you referenced 1383 00:43:23,910 --> 00:43:22,480 come out of some kind of religious 1384 00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:23,920 upbringing or tradition 1385 00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:26,240 that i'm not saying that it's all a 1386 00:43:29,430 --> 00:43:27,040 projection 1387 00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:29,440 of their imagination and it's fake or 1388 00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:30,480 anything like that 1389 00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:32,800 but that perhaps the imagery the 1390 00:43:35,829 --> 00:43:34,640 symbolic imagery of whatever they're 1391 00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:35,839 seeing because you know we're also 1392 00:43:39,109 --> 00:43:36,800 talking about right 1393 00:43:40,470 --> 00:43:39,119 i i'm presuming that you know that that 1394 00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:40,480 whole thing about dmt 1395 00:43:45,430 --> 00:43:43,839 being released as you die and all that 1396 00:43:48,069 --> 00:43:45,440 i'm not again i'm not saying that that 1397 00:43:49,589 --> 00:43:48,079 means that these experiences are fake or 1398 00:43:52,470 --> 00:43:49,599 just hallucinations 1399 00:43:52,829 --> 00:43:52,480 but i think in general with certainly 1400 00:43:56,470 --> 00:43:52,839 with 1401 00:43:59,589 --> 00:43:56,480 hallucinogen drugs that the shape of the 1402 00:44:01,270 --> 00:43:59,599 of the hallucinations or visions or even 1403 00:44:03,750 --> 00:44:01,280 beings that you might meet 1404 00:44:04,470 --> 00:44:03,760 are sometimes to a certain extent 1405 00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:04,480 mediated 1406 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:06,720 by your own kind of experience and 1407 00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:08,319 imagination and it kind of would make 1408 00:44:11,349 --> 00:44:08,880 sense 1409 00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:11,359 even if it was authentic that maybe you 1410 00:44:13,589 --> 00:44:13,280 would use symbols that have meaning to 1411 00:44:17,510 --> 00:44:13,599 you 1412 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:17,520 everybody knows that iconography that 1413 00:44:20,150 --> 00:44:18,000 was 1414 00:44:21,910 --> 00:44:20,160 raised remotely christian you know you 1415 00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:21,920 go up oh there's clouds there's a bright 1416 00:44:25,510 --> 00:44:23,760 light you hear a voice or you 1417 00:44:27,190 --> 00:44:25,520 you're going to hell in a bucket and 1418 00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:27,200 there's flames and it's hot and it's 1419 00:44:29,829 --> 00:44:27,760 scary 1420 00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:29,839 you know and things like that so i mean 1421 00:44:33,589 --> 00:44:31,040 it just it's very hairy 1422 00:44:35,430 --> 00:44:33,599 it's like hard to fully to confidently 1423 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:35,440 fully disentangle those things 1424 00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:37,520 so there's a lot to kind of process 1425 00:44:41,030 --> 00:44:38,720 there 1426 00:44:42,069 --> 00:44:41,040 i always use the term pre-scientific 1427 00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:42,079 because the 1428 00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:45,040 we are not at a stage where we can start 1429 00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:46,319 calling things scientific 1430 00:44:49,829 --> 00:44:48,480 but to a certain extent you know as soon 1431 00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:49,839 as we get past 1432 00:44:53,109 --> 00:44:52,480 materialistic science as soon as we get 1433 00:44:55,990 --> 00:44:53,119 past 1434 00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:56,000 the double slit experiment of 190 1435 00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:57,119 whatever 1436 00:45:01,270 --> 00:44:59,440 we are post materialism the double slit 1437 00:45:03,510 --> 00:45:01,280 experiment should really be called 1438 00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:03,520 a consciousness experiment because it 1439 00:45:07,270 --> 00:45:04,480 shows that 1440 00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:07,280 consciousness affects the photon pattern 1441 00:45:11,349 --> 00:45:08,720 and that experiment is then 1442 00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:11,359 directly replicated by a guy named dr 1443 00:45:13,829 --> 00:45:12,160 dean rayden 1444 00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:13,839 who says we'll screw it these guys are 1445 00:45:18,069 --> 00:45:15,599 arguing over the philosophy of it 1446 00:45:18,950 --> 00:45:18,079 i'll set it up modern day in the last 1447 00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:18,960 few years 1448 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:21,280 with a photon beam and a person that i'm 1449 00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:22,800 going to put in there a meditator and 1450 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,000 say okay affect the 1451 00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:26,560 photon beam and he you know gets a six 1452 00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:28,800 sigma result that kind of once and for 1453 00:45:32,069 --> 00:45:29,440 all 1454 00:45:32,550 --> 00:45:32,079 clears up any confusion about whether or 1455 00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:32,560 not 1456 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:35,040 the observer effect is real i digress 1457 00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:36,240 there to say that 1458 00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:38,800 the consciousness part is really where 1459 00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:40,480 we start and and we have to 1460 00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:43,040 realize that once you get into that then 1461 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:44,000 materialistic 1462 00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:46,079 science even though science we both 1463 00:45:49,589 --> 00:45:47,680 agree or we all agree science is a 1464 00:45:51,910 --> 00:45:49,599 method not a position statement 1465 00:45:53,510 --> 00:45:51,920 it is still a kind of science as we know 1466 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:53,520 it is kind of a position statement that 1467 00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:55,200 suggests that we get the world is out 1468 00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:55,680 there 1469 00:45:58,950 --> 00:45:57,440 we can measure the world and we can 1470 00:46:02,069 --> 00:45:58,960 somewhat control the world 1471 00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:02,079 and this post-materialistic science 1472 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:04,400 suggests well that's not really the case 1473 00:46:06,870 --> 00:46:06,000 and we can kind of shut up and calculate 1474 00:46:08,630 --> 00:46:06,880 and pretend 1475 00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:08,640 like the world is out there and we can 1476 00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:10,560 build all these cool gadgets from it 1477 00:46:14,069 --> 00:46:12,400 but deep down we gotta admit it's not 1478 00:46:15,589 --> 00:46:14,079 really there but switching gears for a 1479 00:46:16,630 --> 00:46:15,599 minute back over to near-death 1480 00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:16,640 experience 1481 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:19,520 hairy yes but everything is hairy and 1482 00:46:23,270 --> 00:46:21,119 this is part of the process that 1483 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:23,280 you know we go through and that i admire 1484 00:46:28,309 --> 00:46:25,440 about the way you do it you guys do it 1485 00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:28,319 on subliminal jihad and it's what i try 1486 00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:29,839 and do too but it's like 1487 00:46:35,829 --> 00:46:33,200 like the dmt thing great dmt 1488 00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:35,839 is the actually what's what people are 1489 00:46:40,150 --> 00:46:37,520 experiencing the near-death experience 1490 00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:40,160 great trace that down sam harris is i 1491 00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:41,200 think the guy who said it 1492 00:46:46,630 --> 00:46:44,240 sam harris is full of [\h__\h] he just is 1493 00:46:47,270 --> 00:46:46,640 angry it's been studied it's been 1494 00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:47,280 studied 1495 00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:50,480 so often and so thoroughly 1496 00:46:54,069 --> 00:46:52,240 by near-death experience researchers 1497 00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:54,079 these are phd level people these are 1498 00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:55,440 people publishing 1499 00:46:59,910 --> 00:46:57,839 peer-reviewed journals like the lancet 1500 00:47:02,150 --> 00:46:59,920 the one of the most 1501 00:47:03,430 --> 00:47:02,160 highly respected medical journal in the 1502 00:47:05,030 --> 00:47:03,440 world and they've 1503 00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:05,040 they've looked for dmt in the blood 1504 00:47:09,109 --> 00:47:06,560 samples they've looked for other 1505 00:47:10,950 --> 00:47:09,119 other chemicals not there as a matter of 1506 00:47:12,550 --> 00:47:10,960 fact it kind of shows just 1507 00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:12,560 shows just the opposite but the 1508 00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:14,079 important thing about that 1509 00:47:18,309 --> 00:47:16,480 is sam harris is not only full of [\h__\h] 1510 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:18,319 but he's actually 1511 00:47:24,870 --> 00:47:22,800 best understood as a dis-info agent 1512 00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:24,880 because if you look at the pushback that 1513 00:47:27,910 --> 00:47:27,040 came when near death experiences hit 1514 00:47:29,990 --> 00:47:27,920 like 1515 00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:30,000 i don't know 10 years ago it really made 1516 00:47:32,790 --> 00:47:30,960 it big with 1517 00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:32,800 this guy dr evan alexander who's a 1518 00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:34,480 harvard neurosurgeon who published this 1519 00:47:37,030 --> 00:47:35,040 book 1520 00:47:38,309 --> 00:47:37,040 proof of heaven because oh yeah i 1521 00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:38,319 remember that yeah 1522 00:47:41,349 --> 00:47:40,000 i just had him out earlier in the week 1523 00:47:43,750 --> 00:47:41,359 he got 1524 00:47:45,109 --> 00:47:43,760 an unbelievable cultural takedown and we 1525 00:47:48,309 --> 00:47:45,119 covered it on this show 1526 00:47:51,190 --> 00:47:48,319 but an unbelievable intentional 1527 00:47:53,109 --> 00:47:51,200 wildly ridiculous you know like sam 1528 00:47:54,790 --> 00:47:53,119 harris said well he's not qualified to 1529 00:47:58,470 --> 00:47:54,800 talk on that because 1530 00:48:01,430 --> 00:47:58,480 he he he's not a neuroscientist 1531 00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:01,440 sam the guy taught at harvard medical 1532 00:48:05,190 --> 00:48:02,160 school 1533 00:48:07,349 --> 00:48:05,200 as a neurosurgeon that is such an absurd 1534 00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:07,359 statement but people you know people 1535 00:48:11,349 --> 00:48:09,440 don't look past that they just go 1536 00:48:12,870 --> 00:48:11,359 oh maybe he's not maybe he's not 1537 00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:12,880 qualified maybe the doc 1538 00:48:16,710 --> 00:48:16,000 anyways it's a cultural takedown i would 1539 00:48:18,870 --> 00:48:16,720 agree with that 1540 00:48:22,309 --> 00:48:18,880 yeah with sam harris yeah we were very 1541 00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:22,319 anti sam harris podcast yes 1542 00:48:25,109 --> 00:48:23,760 yeah and his whole interest in like 1543 00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:25,119 meditation of course he's like one of 1544 00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:26,160 these arch like 1545 00:48:30,549 --> 00:48:28,400 anti-religious polemicists but he's also 1546 00:48:31,510 --> 00:48:30,559 like a new ager kind of i remember his 1547 00:48:33,109 --> 00:48:31,520 remarks like 1548 00:48:35,270 --> 00:48:33,119 people don't understand me because they 1549 00:48:36,309 --> 00:48:35,280 don't really know meditation he's 1550 00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:36,319 probably yeah yeah you know 1551 00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:37,920 jyn are probably telling him what to say 1552 00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:39,359 you know but anyway yeah 1553 00:48:42,549 --> 00:48:41,119 yeah and he's he came out of stanford 1554 00:48:44,230 --> 00:48:42,559 right i don't know that that's 1555 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:44,240 interesting his mom was a golden girls 1556 00:48:47,030 --> 00:48:45,359 writer i think 1557 00:48:48,470 --> 00:48:47,040 oh yeah i'm sure that sounds like that 1558 00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:48,480 sounds definitely true 1559 00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:51,280 yeah yeah well you know the other thing 1560 00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:52,240 i'm just going to throw on because i 1561 00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:53,440 don't want to do the whole 1562 00:48:57,589 --> 00:48:56,480 nde lecture on you guys but this stuff 1563 00:48:58,950 --> 00:48:57,599 has been done so you 1564 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:58,960 you know the hellish near death 1565 00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:00,880 experiences i've interviewed a couple of 1566 00:49:03,589 --> 00:49:02,000 people who've 1567 00:49:05,670 --> 00:49:03,599 had those kinds of experiences i 1568 00:49:07,349 --> 00:49:05,680 interviewed pastor howard storm who 1569 00:49:09,430 --> 00:49:07,359 had one of the most horrific hellish 1570 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:09,440 experiences definitely out there 1571 00:49:12,870 --> 00:49:11,119 under-reported you know people don't 1572 00:49:14,309 --> 00:49:12,880 want to say they went to hell you know 1573 00:49:16,630 --> 00:49:14,319 people then immediately look at him and 1574 00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:16,640 go yeah what did you do to go to hell 1575 00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:19,680 but it it's it's there it has to be 1576 00:49:22,230 --> 00:49:20,480 understood 1577 00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:22,240 in this pre-scientific how can we get 1578 00:49:25,270 --> 00:49:23,920 their way but the other thing i'd throw 1579 00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:25,280 this out at you guys and then i'll leave 1580 00:49:28,950 --> 00:49:25,520 it 1581 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:28,960 guy 1582 00:49:36,790 --> 00:49:32,720 is dr gregory shushan and what he did 1583 00:49:39,349 --> 00:49:36,800 is a cross-culture cross-time analysis 1584 00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:39,359 of near-death experience and he's an 1585 00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:40,640 academic 1586 00:49:47,109 --> 00:49:43,680 oxford connected guy so 1587 00:49:49,829 --> 00:49:47,119 he has to play it kind of very in a very 1588 00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:49,839 narrow thing and has to be kind of this 1589 00:49:54,549 --> 00:49:53,280 pseudo you know agnostic kind of thing 1590 00:49:56,790 --> 00:49:54,559 but it's it's just clear what he's 1591 00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:56,800 saying is that over and over again and 1592 00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:58,079 all these different 1593 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:01,040 religious traditions through like go to 1594 00:50:05,910 --> 00:50:02,559 you know 1595 00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:05,920 accounts 1596 00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:08,400 that and then go to native americans and 1597 00:50:10,870 --> 00:50:10,000 go to africans and take all these 1598 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:10,880 different accounts 1599 00:50:14,549 --> 00:50:13,040 and you see the same thing people are 1600 00:50:16,470 --> 00:50:14,559 having over 1601 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:16,480 long periods of time having near-death 1602 00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:18,240 experiences in his conclusion 1603 00:50:24,309 --> 00:50:21,280 is that all these religions 1604 00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:24,319 uniformly are based on 1605 00:50:29,270 --> 00:50:27,440 near-death ex i should say that after 1606 00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:29,280 their description of the afterlife of 1607 00:50:31,750 --> 00:50:30,800 all these religions across all these 1608 00:50:34,230 --> 00:50:31,760 cultures 1609 00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:34,240 are based on near-death experiences and 1610 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:36,880 he even points out many cases where 1611 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:39,119 they had a certain set of beliefs about 1612 00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:40,160 the afterlife 1613 00:50:44,150 --> 00:50:42,480 and then someone within their community 1614 00:50:44,950 --> 00:50:44,160 had a near-death experience they go oh 1615 00:50:46,470 --> 00:50:44,960 man that 1616 00:50:48,390 --> 00:50:46,480 that's it that sounds like that's 1617 00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:48,400 definitely it we believe you 1618 00:50:54,710 --> 00:50:51,920 and their beliefs changed based on that 1619 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:54,720 so there's a lot there's a lot there and 1620 00:50:59,349 --> 00:50:56,880 i'm not saying that's terra firma 1621 00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:59,359 but i'm saying we're never going to 1622 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:00,800 understand 1623 00:51:04,790 --> 00:51:03,839 michael aquino unless we're unless we're 1624 00:51:07,910 --> 00:51:04,800 willing to 1625 00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:07,920 take a couple of steps in that direction 1626 00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:08,880 you know so 1627 00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:11,200 i agree yeah absolutely yeah you have to 1628 00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:13,359 you have to presuppose something 1629 00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:15,760 out there kind of beyond on the other 1630 00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:17,359 side whatever you want to call it to be 1631 00:51:19,510 --> 00:51:18,880 able to wrap your head i think around 1632 00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:19,520 somebody 1633 00:51:24,069 --> 00:51:22,880 like aquino or these type of mystery 1634 00:51:26,470 --> 00:51:24,079 cults or whatnot 1635 00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:26,480 you know and just because i just because 1636 00:51:29,270 --> 00:51:27,839 i follow one religious tradition doesn't 1637 00:51:30,950 --> 00:51:29,280 mean that i believe that 1638 00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:30,960 there's no knowledge of god like in 1639 00:51:33,270 --> 00:51:32,160 other cultures you know i think that 1640 00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:33,280 there really is something 1641 00:51:35,910 --> 00:51:34,319 yeah again i believe there's an 1642 00:51:36,470 --> 00:51:35,920 ontological reality to this stuff and so 1643 00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:36,480 that people 1644 00:51:40,390 --> 00:51:39,760 are describing similar things you know 1645 00:51:42,630 --> 00:51:40,400 the 1646 00:51:43,589 --> 00:51:42,640 god that is you know uh mazda or 1647 00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:43,599 whatever the 1648 00:51:46,630 --> 00:51:45,680 you know high god of zoroastrianism like 1649 00:51:48,710 --> 00:51:46,640 that is 1650 00:51:50,230 --> 00:51:48,720 a way of talking about allah you know 1651 00:51:52,309 --> 00:51:50,240 it's the same thing like in 1652 00:51:54,069 --> 00:51:52,319 hinduism like all these avatars and all 1653 00:51:56,470 --> 00:51:54,079 this proliferation of things you know 1654 00:51:57,910 --> 00:51:56,480 maybe krishna at one time was a prophet 1655 00:52:00,069 --> 00:51:57,920 or something you know these are 1656 00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:00,079 representations or a way of interacting 1657 00:52:02,630 --> 00:52:01,440 with something i mean really like the 1658 00:52:04,069 --> 00:52:02,640 whole idea of 1659 00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:04,079 perennialism or the idea there's 1660 00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:05,680 something to all religions like the 1661 00:52:08,549 --> 00:52:06,640 notion of 1662 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:08,559 abrahamic religions or of people of the 1663 00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:09,839 book you know or people who have a 1664 00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:11,520 semblance of a book like that's an old 1665 00:52:15,190 --> 00:52:13,200 islamic concept you know in a way we 1666 00:52:16,190 --> 00:52:15,200 have a it's left to thank for that idea 1667 00:52:17,829 --> 00:52:16,200 of this sort of 1668 00:52:19,430 --> 00:52:17,839 intercompatibility this is something 1669 00:52:21,349 --> 00:52:19,440 that was recognized early on 1670 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:21,359 in islamic history that there's uh you 1671 00:52:26,069 --> 00:52:23,520 know an access to this that other 1672 00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:26,079 religions have as well and there there's 1673 00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:28,240 a degradations of religious truth and 1674 00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:28,640 that 1675 00:52:32,069 --> 00:52:30,480 you know of course in various traditions 1676 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:32,079 within islam you know there's the idea 1677 00:52:36,630 --> 00:52:35,040 that our there's a sort of the ideas of 1678 00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:36,640 heaven and hell for instance like al 1679 00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:38,240 gosaly who's like a very 1680 00:52:42,390 --> 00:52:40,240 famous uh muslim philosopher you know 1681 00:52:43,670 --> 00:52:42,400 very influential muslim theologian 1682 00:52:45,109 --> 00:52:43,680 who you know i don't know what your 1683 00:52:46,790 --> 00:52:45,119 listening trip is like he just gets bad 1684 00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:46,800 rap in some circles but you know he said 1685 00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:47,359 that 1686 00:52:51,510 --> 00:52:49,680 those who pray because they fear hell 1687 00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:51,520 you know or because they desire 1688 00:52:55,349 --> 00:52:53,440 whoris or you know the garden like they 1689 00:52:57,589 --> 00:52:55,359 all get that but those of us who 1690 00:52:59,430 --> 00:52:57,599 pray because we want to you know witness 1691 00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:59,440 the face of god like we'll see the face 1692 00:53:03,349 --> 00:53:00,240 of god 1693 00:53:05,750 --> 00:53:03,359 and that will be more beautiful 1694 00:53:07,670 --> 00:53:05,760 than uh hoary by the same order of 1695 00:53:08,230 --> 00:53:07,680 magnitude that a hoary is more beautiful 1696 00:53:09,910 --> 00:53:08,240 than 1697 00:53:11,109 --> 00:53:09,920 uh you know a woman here on earth you 1698 00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:11,119 know which of course is like very 1699 00:53:15,030 --> 00:53:13,200 misogynistic typical you know medieval 1700 00:53:17,270 --> 00:53:15,040 person but you get the point like that 1701 00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:17,280 there is an idea of a gradations of 1702 00:53:20,950 --> 00:53:18,880 experience like even within 1703 00:53:22,150 --> 00:53:20,960 traditions themselves so yeah i 1704 00:53:23,829 --> 00:53:22,160 definitely think that 1705 00:53:25,990 --> 00:53:23,839 you know there is these are attempts to 1706 00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:26,000 describe something that is simply out 1707 00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:26,480 there and 1708 00:53:30,069 --> 00:53:28,480 you know in terms of aquino yeah like 1709 00:53:31,670 --> 00:53:30,079 you know he has a very different take on 1710 00:53:33,349 --> 00:53:31,680 it where he's like embracing 1711 00:53:35,109 --> 00:53:33,359 the evil dimension although he may not 1712 00:53:36,470 --> 00:53:35,119 necessarily see it that way you know he 1713 00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:36,480 has his own kind of 1714 00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:38,240 flexible morality but he's dealing in 1715 00:53:42,069 --> 00:53:40,480 the same sphere with the same concepts 1716 00:53:44,549 --> 00:53:42,079 like he understands this 1717 00:53:45,190 --> 00:53:44,559 basic language that is compatible among 1718 00:53:47,270 --> 00:53:45,200 these different 1719 00:53:49,270 --> 00:53:47,280 i don't think he is he's dealing in a 1720 00:53:51,910 --> 00:53:49,280 realm one of deception 1721 00:53:52,470 --> 00:53:51,920 which is an intersection with your show 1722 00:53:55,430 --> 00:53:52,480 in that 1723 00:53:56,230 --> 00:53:55,440 i can say or do anything because do what 1724 00:53:59,670 --> 00:53:56,240 thou wilt 1725 00:54:02,230 --> 00:53:59,680 is the is the ultimate truth you know 1726 00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:02,240 and i think that there's a a contrary 1727 00:54:04,870 --> 00:54:03,280 point of view that i'm 1728 00:54:06,630 --> 00:54:04,880 pointing to and that i think 1729 00:54:08,790 --> 00:54:06,640 fundamentally you are too that says 1730 00:54:09,990 --> 00:54:08,800 no there is a moral imperative to do 1731 00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:10,000 good and not and and 1732 00:54:13,109 --> 00:54:12,480 not do bad and to do bad and to be 1733 00:54:16,069 --> 00:54:13,119 deceptive 1734 00:54:17,510 --> 00:54:16,079 is out of align with what for lack of a 1735 00:54:19,750 --> 00:54:17,520 better term 1736 00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:19,760 you know god's spirit the light whatever 1737 00:54:22,549 --> 00:54:20,880 it's out of sync 1738 00:54:24,069 --> 00:54:22,559 it's ignorance what the buddhists call 1739 00:54:27,670 --> 00:54:24,079 ignorance of 1740 00:54:29,589 --> 00:54:27,680 the true what's really going on 1741 00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:29,599 yes yeah i know i agree i agree with 1742 00:54:32,069 --> 00:54:31,200 that yeah i think that what i mean to 1743 00:54:34,549 --> 00:54:32,079 say is that he's 1744 00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:34,559 using the same terms he's acting within 1745 00:54:37,829 --> 00:54:35,280 the same 1746 00:54:39,589 --> 00:54:37,839 basic language like invoking satan and 1747 00:54:40,870 --> 00:54:39,599 aligning himself with that 1748 00:54:42,150 --> 00:54:40,880 he's saying that he's an opposition 1749 00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:42,160 doesn't think but that is still you know 1750 00:54:45,349 --> 00:54:43,359 with the same 1751 00:54:46,710 --> 00:54:45,359 like conceptual universe you know he's 1752 00:54:48,549 --> 00:54:46,720 not saying that like something 1753 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,559 completely turned on its head like 1754 00:54:52,069 --> 00:54:50,400 yeah he uses the seat and like maybe he 1755 00:54:53,270 --> 00:54:52,079 uses these languages these terms and 1756 00:54:55,670 --> 00:54:53,280 deceitful ways 1757 00:54:56,870 --> 00:54:55,680 but if you approach it like you can 1758 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:56,880 understand it 1759 00:55:00,390 --> 00:54:59,040 through this these these languages these 1760 00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:00,400 concepts you know and he 1761 00:55:03,670 --> 00:55:02,720 uses them himself you know yeah like 1762 00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:03,680 something that actually does 1763 00:55:06,470 --> 00:55:05,119 i infiltrated the temple of said you 1764 00:55:07,109 --> 00:55:06,480 know i've read like their internal 1765 00:55:09,829 --> 00:55:07,119 documents 1766 00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:09,839 you know i love that yeah i love that so 1767 00:55:12,309 --> 00:55:10,480 yeah like 1768 00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:12,319 and a lot of it is i mean they have 1769 00:55:15,589 --> 00:55:13,760 their own reading lists and things like 1770 00:55:16,950 --> 00:55:15,599 that and they'll refer you to 1771 00:55:18,870 --> 00:55:16,960 you know what they encourage their 1772 00:55:20,870 --> 00:55:18,880 members to read like our things you know 1773 00:55:22,309 --> 00:55:20,880 they really read things written by 1774 00:55:23,990 --> 00:55:22,319 christian theologians like something 1775 00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:24,000 that we talked about on our episode 1776 00:55:26,390 --> 00:55:25,760 about dog man that will be out soon you 1777 00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:26,400 know the 1778 00:55:29,190 --> 00:55:27,760 the book of werewolves and they have a 1779 00:55:30,309 --> 00:55:29,200 whole reading list about werewolves of 1780 00:55:32,789 --> 00:55:30,319 course a topic 1781 00:55:33,589 --> 00:55:32,799 that's of great interest to satanists in 1782 00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:33,599 general but 1783 00:55:37,910 --> 00:55:35,760 especially to those who have a sympathy 1784 00:55:39,190 --> 00:55:37,920 with the ss or whatever you know so 1785 00:55:41,190 --> 00:55:39,200 you know he would recommend these 1786 00:55:42,950 --> 00:55:41,200 religious texts about werewolves so 1787 00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:42,960 these things the whole idea of we're 1788 00:55:47,109 --> 00:55:44,559 going to take as our emblem 1789 00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:47,119 the symbol of evil in the christian 1790 00:55:49,270 --> 00:55:48,240 tradition you know we're going to 1791 00:55:51,270 --> 00:55:49,280 commune with 1792 00:55:52,789 --> 00:55:51,280 the the devil you know that is something 1793 00:55:54,710 --> 00:55:52,799 that is based on 1794 00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:54,720 it's the inversion playbook it's 1795 00:55:58,069 --> 00:55:55,920 sabatian frankish 1796 00:56:00,069 --> 00:55:58,079 you know redemption through sin right 1797 00:56:02,230 --> 00:56:00,079 it's yeah let's do the 1798 00:56:04,069 --> 00:56:02,240 because hey i can look right in my 1799 00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:04,079 scriptures and it says 1800 00:56:07,190 --> 00:56:05,760 he's going to come the redemption will 1801 00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:07,200 come when 1802 00:56:11,109 --> 00:56:10,079 everyone is good or everyone is bad well 1803 00:56:12,870 --> 00:56:11,119 we've tried everyone 1804 00:56:14,630 --> 00:56:12,880 everyone being good that ain't working 1805 00:56:16,069 --> 00:56:14,640 let's all just be bad 1806 00:56:17,309 --> 00:56:16,079 because that'll bring about the second 1807 00:56:18,470 --> 00:56:17,319 coming you know yeah it's like 1808 00:56:19,990 --> 00:56:18,480 accelerationism 1809 00:56:22,069 --> 00:56:20,000 for you know it's like a spiritual 1810 00:56:23,829 --> 00:56:22,079 accelerationism but it's always an 1811 00:56:25,030 --> 00:56:23,839 inversion it's always a deceptive 1812 00:56:27,670 --> 00:56:25,040 inversion it's a 1813 00:56:28,950 --> 00:56:27,680 and it's such a low-level simple play 1814 00:56:32,150 --> 00:56:28,960 but it does seem to 1815 00:56:33,829 --> 00:56:32,160 attract a lot of people it does and i 1816 00:56:35,589 --> 00:56:33,839 see it seeping into the groundwater of 1817 00:56:37,190 --> 00:56:35,599 our culture increasingly which does 1818 00:56:39,349 --> 00:56:37,200 alarm me and you know i was raised 1819 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:39,359 catholic but i don't i wouldn't 1820 00:56:43,109 --> 00:56:40,960 i would say my my sort of relationship 1821 00:56:43,589 --> 00:56:43,119 with is like ambivalent and ambiguous or 1822 00:56:46,789 --> 00:56:43,599 whatever 1823 00:56:49,030 --> 00:56:46,799 but i would say i'm i'm like theistic 1824 00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:49,040 so let's say i'm not an atheist but i 1825 00:56:51,589 --> 00:56:49,920 noticed that 1826 00:56:54,230 --> 00:56:51,599 and it's interesting you brought up sam 1827 00:56:55,589 --> 00:56:54,240 harris because he embodied this kind of 1828 00:56:57,510 --> 00:56:55,599 you know we make fun of it a lot on the 1829 00:56:58,069 --> 00:56:57,520 podcast people like bill maher and sam 1830 00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:58,079 harris 1831 00:57:01,589 --> 00:56:59,359 you know talking about people being 1832 00:57:03,349 --> 00:57:01,599 religious and how you know flying 1833 00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:03,359 spaghetti monsters but it was all 1834 00:57:06,470 --> 00:57:05,599 based on this kind of scientistic kind 1835 00:57:08,630 --> 00:57:06,480 of thinking 1836 00:57:09,670 --> 00:57:08,640 that was very just anti basically 1837 00:57:11,589 --> 00:57:09,680 denying 1838 00:57:13,109 --> 00:57:11,599 spirit the spiritual universe that that 1839 00:57:15,270 --> 00:57:13,119 we've been discussing and it just 1840 00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:15,280 doesn't exist that's ridiculous shut up 1841 00:57:20,150 --> 00:57:16,960 you're dumb you're superstitious 1842 00:57:21,750 --> 00:57:20,160 but now i think as that has kind of i 1843 00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:21,760 feel like that's petering out a little 1844 00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:22,960 bit in the culture 1845 00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:25,520 that kind of scientistic atheism or it's 1846 00:57:29,670 --> 00:57:27,040 been having a rough ride because 1847 00:57:30,870 --> 00:57:29,680 things are so insane and so chaotic and 1848 00:57:34,230 --> 00:57:30,880 there's so much 1849 00:57:36,549 --> 00:57:34,240 madness going on and maybe people are 1850 00:57:38,309 --> 00:57:36,559 in some way a little more drawn to some 1851 00:57:39,510 --> 00:57:38,319 kind of spiritual explanation but now 1852 00:57:41,349 --> 00:57:39,520 you're seeing things where 1853 00:57:43,030 --> 00:57:41,359 like the amount of satanic imagery and 1854 00:57:44,309 --> 00:57:43,040 like pop culture we talk about a lot in 1855 00:57:48,069 --> 00:57:44,319 like music videos 1856 00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:48,079 like demonic mk ultra satanic type 1857 00:57:51,670 --> 00:57:50,400 imagery you know or like twerking on 1858 00:57:54,390 --> 00:57:51,680 satan literally 1859 00:57:54,950 --> 00:57:54,400 is now being held up as like this really 1860 00:57:56,950 --> 00:57:54,960 cool 1861 00:57:58,789 --> 00:57:56,960 just like even just just kind of a bland 1862 00:58:01,510 --> 00:57:58,799 like progressive cool thing 1863 00:58:03,510 --> 00:58:01,520 but it's not very different in my mind 1864 00:58:05,750 --> 00:58:03,520 from something like the satanic temple 1865 00:58:07,109 --> 00:58:05,760 or the church of satan embracing the 1866 00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:07,119 sigil of baphomet 1867 00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:09,680 which is the like quintessential 1868 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:10,480 embodiment 1869 00:58:14,390 --> 00:58:12,559 you know symbol of evil in the christian 1870 00:58:16,230 --> 00:58:14,400 tradition which is the kind of the 1871 00:58:18,710 --> 00:58:16,240 dominant majority tradition 1872 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,720 in you know western society so it's 1873 00:58:20,630 --> 00:58:20,160 there's a sense of you know what you're 1874 00:58:22,150 --> 00:58:20,640 doing 1875 00:58:23,750 --> 00:58:22,160 you know what that represents and 1876 00:58:26,150 --> 00:58:23,760 regardless of whether or not 1877 00:58:28,150 --> 00:58:26,160 even if you even if you accept a totally 1878 00:58:30,789 --> 00:58:28,160 atheistic view of the world 1879 00:58:31,349 --> 00:58:30,799 that still represents something that is 1880 00:58:34,630 --> 00:58:31,359 mo 1881 00:58:37,910 --> 00:58:34,640 represents 1882 00:58:39,190 --> 00:58:37,920 evil values you know the person who is 1883 00:58:41,349 --> 00:58:39,200 the opposite of 1884 00:58:42,789 --> 00:58:41,359 jesus christ who again it's like even if 1885 00:58:45,030 --> 00:58:42,799 you don't if you just 1886 00:58:46,789 --> 00:58:45,040 think it's a fairy tale jesus 1887 00:58:48,630 --> 00:58:46,799 exemplified a lot of virtues that like 1888 00:58:51,190 --> 00:58:48,640 the majority of humanity would think 1889 00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:51,200 are positive virtues to model whereas 1890 00:58:55,349 --> 00:58:52,640 satan is all about deception 1891 00:58:57,430 --> 00:58:55,359 lies power greed everything else and you 1892 00:58:58,950 --> 00:58:57,440 know this is an america on top of that 1893 00:59:00,789 --> 00:58:58,960 a place where we already have a bit of a 1894 00:59:04,470 --> 00:59:00,799 spiritual problem with greed 1895 00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:04,480 power genocide imperialism etc 1896 00:59:08,309 --> 00:59:06,240 and business and just getting more and 1897 00:59:09,990 --> 00:59:08,319 more and more you know down to 1898 00:59:11,990 --> 00:59:10,000 you know it's like a root of our kind of 1899 00:59:15,030 --> 00:59:12,000 capitalistic protestant work 1900 00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:15,040 ethic spirituality so you know throwing 1901 00:59:19,589 --> 00:59:17,440 satan into the mix to turbo boost 1902 00:59:21,589 --> 00:59:19,599 our consumerist to hyper materialist 1903 00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:21,599 kind of empty secular culture 1904 00:59:25,670 --> 00:59:24,240 seems you know it's like i i stop and 1905 00:59:26,470 --> 00:59:25,680 take notice when that happens and i 1906 00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:26,480 think it's a play 1907 00:59:30,069 --> 00:59:28,400 yeah yeah it's a play and i think it has 1908 00:59:32,069 --> 00:59:30,079 an impact even if people 1909 00:59:33,829 --> 00:59:32,079 you know what you hear nowadays is like 1910 00:59:34,630 --> 00:59:33,839 well you know the satanic temple just 1911 00:59:36,390 --> 00:59:34,640 says 1912 00:59:37,829 --> 00:59:36,400 that you know they're just atheists 1913 00:59:38,630 --> 00:59:37,839 they're just doing it to rile up the 1914 00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:38,640 christians 1915 00:59:41,829 --> 00:59:39,760 but you know i just kind of 1916 00:59:43,829 --> 00:59:41,839 fundamentally don't accept that 1917 00:59:45,430 --> 00:59:43,839 as like an explanation i mean sure maybe 1918 00:59:46,069 --> 00:59:45,440 if that if that's what you think it is 1919 00:59:48,789 --> 00:59:46,079 but 1920 00:59:49,190 --> 00:59:48,799 it you're still using you're weaponizing 1921 00:59:51,670 --> 00:59:49,200 uh 1922 00:59:53,510 --> 00:59:51,680 a symbol that most people believe 1923 00:59:54,069 --> 00:59:53,520 represents evil it's like same thing 1924 00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:54,079 with like 1925 00:59:58,230 --> 00:59:56,960 flying a swastika or an ss banner you 1926 00:59:58,789 --> 00:59:58,240 know just say oh i just think it looks 1927 01:00:00,630 --> 00:59:58,799 cool 1928 01:00:03,270 --> 01:00:00,640 it doesn't really mean i'm a nazi you 1929 01:00:03,829 --> 01:00:03,280 know i'm doing it ironically you know 1930 01:00:05,510 --> 01:00:03,839 yeah and 1931 01:00:06,950 --> 01:00:05,520 i think at this part of the whole you 1932 01:00:08,470 --> 01:00:06,960 know the old cliche about like the 1933 01:00:09,349 --> 01:00:08,480 greatest trick devil ever played is in 1934 01:00:11,589 --> 01:00:09,359 some ways true 1935 01:00:12,549 --> 01:00:11,599 you know it speaks to i think the larger 1936 01:00:15,270 --> 01:00:12,559 point of like the 1937 01:00:16,549 --> 01:00:15,280 illiteracy about symbols and the you 1938 01:00:18,710 --> 01:00:16,559 know illiteracy about 1939 01:00:19,750 --> 01:00:18,720 different understandings of these 1940 01:00:22,069 --> 01:00:19,760 figures of 1941 01:00:23,270 --> 01:00:22,079 religious ideas and also of history and 1942 01:00:24,630 --> 01:00:23,280 i think that you know for instance 1943 01:00:26,630 --> 01:00:24,640 you mentioned it's working on the devil 1944 01:00:28,230 --> 01:00:26,640 you know this is a huge uh flashpoint in 1945 01:00:31,589 --> 01:00:28,240 our culture a huge controversy 1946 01:00:32,309 --> 01:00:31,599 over uh wilnos x's video with the devil 1947 01:00:34,069 --> 01:00:32,319 in it and 1948 01:00:35,589 --> 01:00:34,079 you know this is a huge thing where 1949 01:00:38,789 --> 01:00:35,599 people were upset at 1950 01:00:40,390 --> 01:00:38,799 uh the suggestion of uh giving satan a 1951 01:00:42,390 --> 01:00:40,400 lap dance and things like that and you 1952 01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:42,400 know other people were saying like how 1953 01:00:46,470 --> 01:00:43,920 you know can you be upset you know this 1954 01:00:48,230 --> 01:00:46,480 is all symbology this is all metaphor 1955 01:00:49,829 --> 01:00:48,240 and something a common point that people 1956 01:00:50,470 --> 01:00:49,839 made of these view the video was that 1957 01:00:51,990 --> 01:00:50,480 well you know 1958 01:00:54,069 --> 01:00:52,000 look at the ending you know little 1959 01:00:55,990 --> 01:00:54,079 nossacks actually he's using his 1960 01:00:57,910 --> 01:00:56,000 sexuality to seduce the devil but in the 1961 01:00:59,750 --> 01:00:57,920 end he kills the devil and then he puts 1962 01:01:01,589 --> 01:00:59,760 the devil's horns on himself so really 1963 01:01:03,349 --> 01:01:01,599 he's killing satan so isn't that 1964 01:01:04,630 --> 01:01:03,359 good and it's like well you know if you 1965 01:01:06,470 --> 01:01:04,640 think about what these people 1966 01:01:08,309 --> 01:01:06,480 like michael aquino for instance what 1967 01:01:09,589 --> 01:01:08,319 they really believe like that actually 1968 01:01:11,349 --> 01:01:09,599 matches up perfectly 1969 01:01:12,870 --> 01:01:11,359 with their ideas about their how their 1970 01:01:15,190 --> 01:01:12,880 relationship with these entities work 1971 01:01:16,470 --> 01:01:15,200 you know they of course no one is ever 1972 01:01:18,230 --> 01:01:16,480 going to do 1973 01:01:20,150 --> 01:01:18,240 like no one's ever going to sign on to 1974 01:01:21,750 --> 01:01:20,160 like the christian idea of 1975 01:01:23,430 --> 01:01:21,760 a deal with the devil like that people 1976 01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:23,440 will warn you about you know like 1977 01:01:26,630 --> 01:01:25,200 what the devil came to you and said 1978 01:01:28,309 --> 01:01:26,640 you're gonna be my slave 1979 01:01:29,990 --> 01:01:28,319 and you're gonna do my will and then 1980 01:01:32,309 --> 01:01:30,000 you're gonna burn forever you know 1981 01:01:33,910 --> 01:01:32,319 no one would take that deal probably you 1982 01:01:34,870 --> 01:01:33,920 know it's because they think that they 1983 01:01:36,470 --> 01:01:34,880 have a loophole 1984 01:01:38,069 --> 01:01:36,480 they always have a way out you know and 1985 01:01:38,870 --> 01:01:38,079 oftentimes it's because they can ascend 1986 01:01:40,950 --> 01:01:38,880 themselves 1987 01:01:42,870 --> 01:01:40,960 they can become you know the dark prince 1988 01:01:45,030 --> 01:01:42,880 or you know the god unto themselves 1989 01:01:46,470 --> 01:01:45,040 that's exactly what sethianism teaches 1990 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:46,480 like which is 1991 01:01:49,910 --> 01:01:48,640 you know there's a vulgar more 1992 01:01:51,430 --> 01:01:49,920 secularized version of that 1993 01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:51,440 in the church of satan and an even 1994 01:01:54,870 --> 01:01:53,280 further more secularized version of that 1995 01:01:56,950 --> 01:01:54,880 and the the satanic temple 1996 01:01:57,990 --> 01:01:56,960 where you have the idea that there you 1997 01:01:59,750 --> 01:01:58,000 know you 1998 01:02:00,950 --> 01:01:59,760 can yourself it's all about the the 1999 01:02:02,150 --> 01:02:00,960 aggrandizement of itself you know the 2000 01:02:04,950 --> 01:02:02,160 ascension of the self 2001 01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:04,960 the godhood of the becoming a god yes 2002 01:02:08,470 --> 01:02:06,400 exactly they think that they're they're 2003 01:02:10,789 --> 01:02:08,480 not going to be accountable because 2004 01:02:11,829 --> 01:02:10,799 they will you know find a loophole that 2005 01:02:14,870 --> 01:02:11,839 they will become 2006 01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:14,880 yeah 2007 01:02:18,470 --> 01:02:17,440 and we're on the verge of this kind of 2008

2107 01:05:21,510 --> 01:05:20,480 doing this all over the place and 2108 01:05:22,789 --> 01:05:21,520 they're doing it and then i interviewed 2109 01:05:24,230 --> 01:05:22,799 another guy and i won't even mention his 2110 01:05:25,990 --> 01:05:24,240 name but he's a podcaster 2111 01:05:27,670 --> 01:05:26,000 and he tells me you know i'm telling the 2112 01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:27,680 story about whitley street and goes 2113 01:05:31,109 --> 01:05:29,440 yeah when i was in kindergarten i was a 2114 01:05:33,270 --> 01:05:31,119 gifted chopper i'm like oh whoa 2115 01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:33,280 stop tell me he goes yeah it's the 2116 01:05:38,549 --> 01:05:34,240 weirdest thing 2117 01:05:41,349 --> 01:05:38,559 room and all day we just memorized 2118 01:05:41,829 --> 01:05:41,359 cards we just tried to memorize these 2119 01:05:44,069 --> 01:05:41,839 cards 2120 01:05:45,349 --> 01:05:44,079 and it's like we will never know the 2121 01:05:47,910 --> 01:05:45,359 extent to which 2122 01:05:48,870 --> 01:05:47,920 these guys did these programs some of 2123 01:05:52,309 --> 01:05:48,880 which sound 2124 01:05:53,910 --> 01:05:52,319 incredibly benign like that one and the 2125 01:05:55,349 --> 01:05:53,920 one that whitley was in and you know i 2126 01:05:56,630 --> 01:05:55,359 probably did have to do with psychic 2127 01:05:58,150 --> 01:05:56,640 abilities that probably 2128 01:05:59,829 --> 01:05:58,160 by memorizing card's event that they 2129 01:06:00,950 --> 01:05:59,839 tried to predict the shape on cards 2130 01:06:04,470 --> 01:06:00,960 start seeing them 2131 01:06:05,670 --> 01:06:04,480 you know i think maybe 2132 01:06:07,670 --> 01:06:05,680 and you could get there right you could 2133 01:06:08,950 --> 01:06:07,680 get there in a whole bunch of different 2134 01:06:10,710 --> 01:06:08,960 ways college right you could just have 2135 01:06:11,190 --> 01:06:10,720 people memorize information and that 2136 01:06:13,029 --> 01:06:11,200 could be 2137 01:06:14,710 --> 01:06:13,039 a pre-screening to whether they go to 2138 01:06:15,510 --> 01:06:14,720 the next thing but back to whitley 2139 01:06:17,029 --> 01:06:15,520 because 2140 01:06:19,190 --> 01:06:17,039 when i interviewed whitley i asked him 2141 01:06:22,549 --> 01:06:19,200 specifically about this 2142 01:06:23,190 --> 01:06:22,559 and you can hear his voice and you hear 2143 01:06:27,430 --> 01:06:23,200 him 2144 01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:27,440 struggled with it a great deal 2145 01:06:30,950 --> 01:06:30,240 in terms of trying to resolve it back in 2146 01:06:33,670 --> 01:06:30,960 his life 2147 01:06:34,470 --> 01:06:33,680 but the full story is he's like i don't 2148 01:06:37,029 --> 01:06:34,480 know 2149 01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:37,039 nine years old and his dad is in 2150 01:06:42,549 --> 01:06:39,280 military intelligence by the way 2151 01:06:44,789 --> 01:06:42,559 and they come knocking on the door and 2152 01:06:46,870 --> 01:06:44,799 uh they say hey you know got a special 2153 01:06:48,950 --> 01:06:46,880 program for gifted children 2154 01:06:50,069 --> 01:06:48,960 it's down at the air force base here in 2155 01:06:53,349 --> 01:06:50,079 san antonio 2156 01:06:55,510 --> 01:06:53,359 and whitley like barely remembers it 2157 01:06:56,470 --> 01:06:55,520 but he remembers going into faraday cage 2158 01:06:58,630 --> 01:06:56,480 he remembers them 2159 01:07:00,390 --> 01:06:58,640 mutilating animals and doing this other 2160 01:07:02,390 --> 01:07:00,400 stuff he doesn't remember all of it but 2161 01:07:04,789 --> 01:07:02,400 what he remembers are a couple things 2162 01:07:06,789 --> 01:07:04,799 after that mom insisted that he get 2163 01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:06,799 dressed up in

01:07:15,839 try and hide to get away from these guys 2167 01:07:19,029 --> 01:07:18,559 and he suggested the only way he got out 2168 01:07:21,270 --> 01:07:19,039 of it 2169 01:07:22,710 --> 01:07:21,280 is that he got quote unquote sick and 2170 01:07:24,390 --> 01:07:22,720 got sent to the hospital 2171 01:07:25,910 --> 01:07:24,400 probably you know your body reacts to 2172

01:07:30,710 --> 01:07:29,520 comes there 2176 01:07:32,470 --> 01:07:30,720 and they eventually pull him out of the 2177 01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:32,480 program but he says in trying to 2178 01:07:37,430 --> 01:07:34,319 recollect what really happened 2179 01:07:39,990 --> 01:07:37,440 because i i th whitley 2180 01:07:40,950 --> 01:07:40,000 is trying to understand this i get the 2181 01:07:42,870 --> 01:07:40,960 sense that he is an 2182 01:07:44,950 --> 01:07:42,880 honest broker he just has this 2183 01:07:47,910 --> 01:07:44,960 fragmented shattered 2184 01:07:49,910 --> 01:07:47,920 disassociative identity created memory 2185 01:07:53,670 --> 01:07:49,920 of what's going on but he said look 2186 01:07:56,390 --> 01:07:53,680 the [\h__\h] kid across the street i know

years 2190 01:08:02,950 --> 01:08:02,160 old he had never left the house 2191 01:08:05,109 --> 01:08:02,960 virtually 2192 01:08:06,789 --> 01:08:05,119 and died you know in his room and i 2193 01:08:08,950 --> 01:08:06,799 talked to another kid 2194 01:08:09,990 --> 01:08:08,960 down the street who they put him in they 2195 01:08:11,190 --> 01:08:10,000 went to put him in the program and

overwhelming evidence i mean he did 2444 01:16:30,790 --> 01:16:29,360 all that stuff 2445 01:16:32,149 --> 01:16:30,800 i would agree yeah i would agree and 2446 01:16:33,430 --> 01:16:32,159 then the fact that the daycare center 2447 01:16:35,830 --> 01:16:33,440 the presidio was 2448 01:16:37,669 --> 01:16:35,840 burnt down twice or there were two 2449 01:16:39,830 --> 01:16:37,679 attempts to burn it down 2450 01:16:41,350 --> 01:16:39,840 while this kind of process was uh while 2451 01:16:42,709 --> 01:16:41,360 this trial process was 2452 01:16:44,070 --> 01:16:42,719 was playing itself out and then the 2453 01:16:45,669 --> 01:16:44,080 second time i believe that when they 2454 01:16:48,229 --> 01:16:45,679 successfully burned it down was on the 2455 01:16:50,950 --> 01:16:48,239 night of the autumnal equinox 2456 01:16:52,229 --> 01:16:50,960 so you know i mean kind of interesting 2457 01:16:53,990 --> 01:16:52,239 and then you know all these things were 2458 01:16:57,189 --> 01:16:54,000 dropped but also the army 2459 01:16:57,910 --> 01:16:57,199 refused i remember finding a kind of a 2460 01:16:59,270 --> 01:16:57,920 lawsuit 2461 01:17:01,669 --> 01:16:59,280 judgment or something i think it was 2462 01:17:02,709 --> 01:17:01,679 like from the army's you know legal 2463 01:17:06,550 --> 01:17:02,719 division 2464 01:17:09,030 --> 01:17:06,560 basically refusing aquinos with requests 2465 01:17:10,870 --> 01:17:09,040 to completely expunge the presidio stuff 2466 01:17:12,630 --> 01:17:10,880 from his record which is interesting so 2467 01:17:13,830 --> 01:17:12,640 the us army itself 2468 01:17:15,990 --> 01:17:13,840 kind of said you know they ended up 2469 01:17:17,990 --> 01:17:16,000 saying that well oh there's not 2470 01:17:19,910 --> 01:17:18,000 evidence curt lieutenant colonel aquino 2471 01:17:21,350 --> 01:17:19,920 is cleared but then aquino in his 2472 01:17:23,590 --> 01:17:21,360 classic litigious way 2473 01:17:25,030 --> 01:17:23,600 went like i want every single reference 2474 01:17:27,189 --> 01:17:25,040 to you know any kind of 2475 01:17:29,030 --> 01:17:27,199 investigation against me blah blah blah 2476 01:17:31,110 --> 01:17:29,040 and everything like that to be 2477 01:17:33,110 --> 01:17:31,120 completely like wiped off the record and 2478 01:17:35,669 --> 01:17:33,120 i remember in that summary they said 2479 01:17:39,669 --> 01:17:35,679 well we're not going to do it because 2480 01:17:42,550 --> 01:17:39,679 some of your like your alibis were 2481 01:17:43,430 --> 01:17:42,560 not corroboratable or convincing i think 2482 01:17:46,709 --> 01:17:43,440 they literally said 2483 01:17:48,070 --> 01:17:46,719 not convincing so you know yeah army 2484 01:17:50,630 --> 01:17:48,080 of course they're going to cover up for 2485 01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:50,640 him and you know god knows how deep that 2486 01:17:55,030 --> 01:17:52,400 goes but it did seem to 2487 01:17:56,229 --> 01:17:55,040 kind of stop his career i don't know if 2488 01:17:58,070 --> 01:17:56,239 he would have gone on 2489 01:18:00,310 --> 01:17:58,080 maybe he's kind of like jim shannon and 2490

the legitimacy he has inside the in 2515 01:18:50,550 --> 01:18:49,679 military community as a sought-after 2516 01:18:53,030 --> 01:18:50,560 expert like 2517 01:18:53,990 --> 01:18:53,040 oh don't

really interested in 2521 01:19:05,030 --> 01:19:02,320 and so grab him let's use him 2522 01:19:06,630 --> 01:19:05,040 yeah yeah he was like he was like the 2523 01:19:09,110 --> 01:19:06,640 psyop person you know he 2524 01:19:10,790 --> 01:19:09,120 wrote for like in the recent documentary 2525 01:19:11,750 --> 01:19:10,800 that hbo put out about q anon you know 2526 01:19:14,470 --> 01:19:11,760 they highlighted 2527 01:19:16,070 --> 01:19:14,480 jean-paul valerie for his you know work 2528 01:19:17,110 --> 01:19:16,080 on psyops and they were kind of trying 2529 01:19:19,350 --> 01:19:17,120 to connect into that 2530 01:19:21,590 --> 01:19:19,360 but they glossed over you know aquino's 2531 01:19:23,830 --> 01:19:21,600 authorship of the mind war 2532 01:19:25,110 --> 01:19:23,840 memo for him this famous white paper 2533 01:19:26,630 --> 01:19:25,120 that aquino wrote which 2534 01:19:28,310 --> 01:19:26,640 the concept of mind war which he would 2535 01:19:31,189 --> 01:19:28,320 develop later on you know 2536 01:19:33,110 --> 01:19:31,199 it has to do basically with the idea of 2537 01:19:36,070 --> 01:19:33,120 sort of convincing your enemy 2538 01:19:37,830 --> 01:19:36,080 to work with you to fight the mind war 2539 01:19:38,149 --> 01:19:37,840 against the mutually shared problem one 2540 01:19:39,430 --> 01:19:38,159 of the 2541 01:19:41,990 --> 01:19:39,440 one of my favorite anecdotes about 2542 01:19:43,830 --> 01:19:42,000 michael quino is that he wrote like an 2543 01:19:45,830 --> 01:19:43,840 alternate history novel 2544 01:19:47,830 --> 01:19:45,840 where the nazis instead of like 2545 01:19:48,470 --> 01:19:47,840 committing a genocide they just use mind 2546 01:19:52,149 --> 01:19:48,480 war 2547 01:19:54,550 --> 01:19:52,159 so it's all about 2548 01:19:55,990 --> 01:19:54,560 like uh we break the sword yeah it's 2549 01:19:58,709 --> 01:19:56,000 probably break the sword but 2550 01:20:00,390 --> 01:19:58,719 yeah he what he cut his teeth in vietnam 2551 01:20:02,630 --> 01:20:00,400 i mean doing this very very spooky 2552 01:20:05,430 --> 01:20:02,640 operation called a wandering soul 2553 01:20:07,110 --> 01:20:05,440 he developed these recordings known as 2554 01:20:08,229 --> 01:20:07,120 ghost tape number 10 you can you listen 2555 01:20:09,590 --> 01:20:08,239 to online is the 2556 01:20:11,430 --> 01:20:09,600 the most famous one and ghost type 2557 01:20:13,189 --> 01:20:11,440 number 10 and basically what they would 2558 01:20:13,910 --> 01:20:13,199 do is they would play out of helicopters 2559 01:20:17,110 --> 01:20:13,920 or from 2560 01:20:17,990 --> 01:20:17,120 backpacks of soldiers these uh sort of 2561 01:20:20,070 --> 01:20:18,000 eerie 2562 01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:20,080 sounds and wailings you know and the 2563 01:20:23,030 --> 01:20:21,760 idea was to sort of play off there are 2564 01:20:24,550 --> 01:20:23,040 many things like this you know 2565 01:20:27,030 --> 01:20:24,560 we talked in our episode on mothman 2566 01:20:28,390 --> 01:20:27,040 about the oswang related uh psyops that 2567 01:20:30,550 --> 01:20:28,400 took place in the philippines at 2568 01:20:32,310 --> 01:20:30,560 landsdale yeah yeah yeah basically 2569 01:20:34,149 --> 01:20:32,320 the the idea of this was to sort of 2570 01:20:35,590 --> 01:20:34,159 suggest and to play off the 2571 01:20:37,830 --> 01:20:35,600 what they imagined as being the 2572 01:20:40,149 --> 01:20:37,840 vietnamese belief in wandering 2573 01:20:42,229 --> 01:20:40,159 ghosts and and spirits and the idea that 2574 01:20:43,590 --> 01:20:42,239 if you died far away from your homeland 2575 01:20:45,350 --> 01:20:43,600 you would be doomed to wander the earth 2576 01:20:45,990 --> 01:20:45,360 forever so they would play these spooky 2577 01:20:48,629 --> 01:20:46,000 whales with 2578 01:20:49,270 --> 01:20:48,639 this man kind of camping in vietnamese 2579 01:20:51,750 --> 01:20:49,280 about 2580 01:20:53,430 --> 01:20:51,760 how he died far away from his home and 2581 01:20:55,110 --> 01:20:53,440 you know give up brothers you know go 2582 01:20:55,750 --> 01:20:55,120 home it's not too late you know if you 2583 01:20:58,070 --> 01:20:55,760 die 2584 01:20:59,510 --> 01:20:58,080 fighting the americans you know you will 2585 01:21:01,270 --> 01:20:59,520 like you know you'll end up tortured in 2586 01:21:03,189 --> 01:21:01,280 hell by demons 2587 01:21:04,629 --> 01:21:03,199 you know uh just you know moaning 2588 01:21:05,669 --> 01:21:04,639 apparently you know what what often 2589 01:21:07,110 --> 01:21:05,679 happened was that people 2590 01:21:08,870 --> 01:21:07,120 hearing this would just get infuriated 2591 01:21:10,470 --> 01:21:08,880 and return fire but 2592 01:21:11,669 --> 01:21:10,480 you know and reveal their position yeah 2593 01:21:12,470 --> 01:21:11,679 exactly would often reveal their 2594 01:21:14,470 --> 01:21:12,480 positions 2595 01:21:16,070 --> 01:21:14,480 so i guess maybe it was a qualified 2596 01:21:17,830 --> 01:21:16,080 success isn't that the really tricky 2597 01:21:18,709 --> 01:21:17,840 part of it though that that is so hard 2598 01:21:21,430 --> 01:21:18,719 to process 2599 01:21:22,709 --> 01:21:21,440 is like how do we really feel about that 2600 01:21:23,030 --> 01:21:22,719 you know because on the first love you 2601 01:21:27,189 --> 01:21:23,040 go 2602 01:21:28,070 --> 01:21:27,199 and then you like wait a minute how do i 2603 01:21:30,950 --> 01:21:28,080 really feel about 2604 01:21:31,910 --> 01:21:30,960 that in a quote-unquote war situation as 2605 01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:31,920 if that was 2606 01:21:34,950 --> 01:21:33,280 you know some kind of war or some kind 2607 01:21:35,669 --> 01:21:34,960 of defense the united states or but we 2608 01:21:37,350 --> 01:21:35,679 could get into 2609 01:21:38,709 --> 01:21:37,360 that but it's like we do have this 2610 01:21:40,229 --> 01:21:38,719 different kind of sensibility that 2611 01:21:42,070 --> 01:21:40,239 that there are situations where we have 2612 01:21:42,790 --> 01:21:42,080 to win and we're going to kind of make 2613 01:21:45,990 --> 01:21:42,800 that 2614 01:21:47,189 --> 01:21:46,000 moral high-level decision and then how 2615 01:21:48,870 --> 01:21:47,199 we implement it 2616 01:21:51,430 --> 01:21:48,880 we'll really give ourselves a lot of 2617 01:21:52,870 --> 01:21:51,440 leeway so isn't that really another 2618 01:21:54,470 --> 01:21:52,880 place where kind of we're 2619 01:21:55,990 --> 01:21:54,480 struggling with terra firma where the 2620 01:21:56,709 --> 01:21:56,000 rubber meets the road kind of thing i 2621 01:21:59,110 --> 01:21:56,719 mean how do 2622 01:21:59,830 --> 01:21:59,120 don't we don't we want to do don't we 2623 01:22:03,830 --> 01:21:59,840 want to hire 2624 01:22:06,470 --> 01:22:03,840 aleister crowley to do to see if he can 2625 01:22:06,950 -->

know there's 2635 01:22:25,990 --> 01:22:24,400 all these myths of like occult circles 2636 01:22:27,510 --> 01:22:26,000 operating like within the intelligence 2637 01:22:29,270 --> 01:22:27,520 world in world war ii but 2638 01:22:31,270 --> 01:22:29,280 i mean the vietnam war i think the 2639 01:22:32,870 --> 01:22:31,280 metronome group was not like a moral 2640 01:22:35,669 --> 01:22:32,880 war to begin with on the part of the 2641 01:22:37,910 --> 01:22:35,679 united states so like i also feel that 2642 01:22:39,750 --> 01:22:37,920 yes these this is all part of a larger 2643 01:22:41,590 --> 01:22:39,760 complex which is very cynical 2644 01:22:43,030 --> 01:22:41,600 and often you know again like just 2645 01:22:45,270 --> 01:22:43,040 infuriating and and 2646 01:22:47,430 --> 01:22:45,280 insulting to the people who are targeted 2647 01:22:48,950 --> 01:22:47,440 by it which is to sort of it has that 2648 01:22:50,310 --> 01:22:48,960 same sort of sneering it's very 2649 01:22:51,910 --> 01:22:50,320 sam hair it's like a sneering thing 2650 01:22:53,030 --> 01:22:51,920 where it's like oh we can manipulate 2651 01:22:56,149 --> 01:22:53,040 these savages 2652 01:22:59,189 --> 01:22:56,159 beliefs you know we can you know invade 2653 01:23:01,110 --> 01:22:59,199 their their psyches and and use their 2654 01:23:02,229 --> 01:23:01,120 their views against them in this way you 2655 01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:02,239 know yeah and i mean 2656 01:23:05,590 --> 01:23:04,320 ultimately it goes hand in hand with the 2657 01:23:08,310 --> 01:23:05,600 the violence of the war 2658 01:23:09,910 --> 01:23:08,320 even to bring it up to the 80s to the to 2659 01:23:12,629 --> 01:23:09,920 michael queen's very odd 2660 01:23:14,149 --> 01:23:12,639 performances on oprah and the geraldo 2661 01:23:16,950 --> 01:23:14,159 show when he went on 2662 01:23:17,510 --> 01:23:16,960 to you know basically defend the temple 2663 01:23:19,669 --> 01:23:17,520 of set 2664 01:23:20,950 --> 01:23:19,679 and satanic practices and stuff during 2665 01:23:22,550 --> 01:23:20,960 the height of the so-called 2666 01:23:24,149 --> 01:23:22,560 satanic panic you could almost see a 2667 01:23:24,790 --> 01:23:24,159 parallel between operation wandering 2668 01:23:26,950 --> 01:23:24,800 soul 2669 01:23:28,149 --> 01:23:26,960 and what he was doing there because he 2670 01:23:30,070 --> 01:23:28,159 was going on tv 2671 01:23:31,669 --> 01:23:30,080 in such a provocative way where it's 2672 01:23:33,189 --> 01:23:31,679 like he knew what he was doing 2673 01:23:35,510 --> 01:23:33,199 he knew he was going to basically 2674 01:23:37,189 --> 01:23:35,520 trigger all the kind of conservative 2675 01:23:39,750 --> 01:23:37,199 christian types that were 2676 01:23:41,430 --> 01:23:39,760 being terrified by what oprah and 2677 01:23:43,030 --> 01:23:41,440 geraldo and all these other people 2678 01:23:44,790 --> 01:23:43,040 were saying about how there's these evil 2679 01:23:47,110 --> 01:23:44,800 cults but then he was also sitting there 2680 01:23:48,950 --> 01:23:47,120 and going like that is actually not true 2681 01:23:50,149 --> 01:23:48,960 i am you know i might have devil 2682 01:23:52,310 --> 01:23:50,159 eyebrows and 2683 01:23:55,030 --> 01:23:52,320 have this like you know like very witchy 2684 01:23:56,709 --> 01:23:55,040 wife and stuff and seem very sinister 2685 01:23:58,629 --> 01:23:56,719 but you know actually there's nothing to 2686 01:24:01,350 --> 01:23:58,639 see here it almost like it 2687 01:24:02,950 --> 01:24:01,360 in in the sense of the real goal of the 2688 01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:02,960 recording of wandering soul 2689 01:24:07,590 --> 01:24:05,280 was to get the vietcong soldiers to rev 2690 01:24:09,189 --> 01:24:07,600 to get angry and reveal their position 2691 01:24:11,750 --> 01:24:09,199 and expose themselves 2692 01:24:13,430 --> 01:24:11,760 and it was it was all about eliciting a 2693 01:24:15,830 --> 01:24:13,440 psychological reaction 2694 01:24:17,270 --> 01:24:15,840 that was actually not exactly what the 2695 01:24:19,990 --> 01:24:17,280 kind of ostensible goal 2696 01:24:22,149 --> 01:24:20,000 of the operate of the psyop you know the 2697 01:24:23,830 --> 01:24:22,159 goal was to prey upon their 2698 01:24:26,390 --> 01:24:23,840 religious superstitions but what it 2699 01:24:28,629 --> 01:24:26,400 really was more is to get them 2700 01:24:30,550 --> 01:24:28,639 to show themselves and you know 2701 01:24:31,350 --> 01:24:30,560 basically rile them up and so much of 2702 01:24:33,189 --> 01:24:31,360 psyops 2703 01:24:34,709 --> 01:24:33,199 you can see it today with like with q 2704 01:24:36,790 --> 01:24:34,719 and on and all that other stuff 2705 01:24:38,070 --> 01:24:36,800 there are things that are so tailor-made 2706 01:24:40,790 --> 01:24:38,080 to almost just like get 2707 01:24:41,510 --> 01:24:40,800 people fired up and crazy and then react 2708 01:24:44,229 --> 01:24:41,520 towards 2709 01:24:45,430 --> 01:24:44,239 something and often it's done in a kind 2710 01:24:48,229 --> 01:24:45,440 of very 2711 01:24:49,830 --> 01:24:48,239 sophisticated way where you know i think 2712 01:24:50,629 --> 01:24:49,840 there were levels to like what michael 2713 01:24:52,709 --> 01:24:50,639 aquino 2714 01:24:53,830 --> 01:24:52,719 was doing both in the phoenix program 2715 01:24:56,229 --> 01:24:53,840 whatever in vietnam 2716 01:24:57,990 --> 01:24:56,239 and going on you know tv in the 80s 2717 01:24:59,110 --> 01:24:58,000 trying to defend himself but doing it in 2718 01:25:01,830 --> 01:24:59,120 this way where it's like 2719 01:25:02,470 --> 01:25:01,840 look how much of a black magician i am 2720 01:25:04,229 --> 01:25:02,480 you know 2721 01:25:05,830 --> 01:25:04,239 i think that's totally brilliant and you 2722 01:25:07,030 --> 01:25:05,840 guys are to be congratulated for kind of 2723 01:25:07,750 --> 01:25:07,040 seeing that because i remember when you 2724 01:25:10,550 --> 01:25:07,760 mentioned it 2725 01:25:13,189 --> 01:25:10,560 and it is such a great insight is that 2726 01:25:13,990 --> 01:25:13,199 if i can get you to emotionally engage 2727 01:25:17,189 --> 01:25:14,000 with me 2728 01:25:19,750 --> 01:25:17,199 and i'm controlling the topic then 2729 01:25:21,350 --> 01:25:19,760 i'm gonna win you know it's like i'm 2730 01:25:22,790 --> 01:25:21,360 gonna drag you into a gutter and we're 2731 01:25:23,430 --> 01:25:22,800 gonna both get dirty but at the end of 2732 01:25:25,430 --> 01:25:23,440 the day 2733 01:25:27,030 --> 01:25:25,440 we're gonna look like equals in some way 2734 01:25:28,950 --> 01:25:27,040 and and that just 2735 01:25:31,030 --> 01:25:28,960 when i'm in such an adverse position 2736 01:25:32,470 --> 01:25:31,040 that adversarial position that can do 2737 01:25:33,590 --> 01:25:32,480 nothing but help me 2738 01:25:35,430 --> 01:25:33,600 it's interesting that you mentioned that 2739 01:25:36,390 --> 01:25:35,440 because that's what his mother would go 2740 01:25:38,950 --> 01:25:36,400 on to do when she 2741 01:25:40,310 --> 01:25:38,960 found it or helped to found uh kpfa the 2742 01:25:42,229 --> 01:25:40,320 radio station which had 2743 01:25:43,910 --> 01:25:42,239 i was just gonna say that yeah you know 2744 01:25:45,189 --> 01:25:43,920 very very similar to their sort of 2745 01:25:46,390 --> 01:25:45,199 framing where they would always 2746 01:25:48,790 --> 01:25:46,400 they would have people of all different 2747 01:25:50,629 --> 01:25:48,800 beliefs on but they would always end up 2748 01:25:52,070 --> 01:25:50,639 affirming whatever their views were 2749 01:25:53,910 --> 01:25:52,080 because they would be setting the 2750 01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:53,920 questions you know so the debate could 2751 01:25:56,870 --> 01:25:55,360 be about whatever it could have like you 2752 01:25:58,629 --> 01:25:56,880 know the john birch society it could 2753 01:25:59,189 --> 01:25:58,639 have like malice you know debating each 2754 01:26:01,990 --> 01:25:59,199 other 2755 01:26:03,189 --> 01:26:02,000 but ultimately the end of the day kpfa 2756 01:26:04,950 --> 01:26:03,199 would be deciding the terms of the 2757 01:26:07,669 --> 01:26:04,960 debate and so they would always 2758 01:26:08,950 --> 01:26:07,679 win the epistemological battle yeah and 2759 01:26:11,189 --> 01:26:08,960 you know they were committed to a 2760 01:26:12,390 --> 01:26:11,199 pacifism which of course sounds good but 2761 01:26:14,070 --> 01:26:12,400 you know it came out of the mill yellow 2762 01:26:14,470 --> 01:26:14,080 of like not wanting to fight world war 2763 01:26:17,030 --> 01:26:14,480 ii 2764 01:26:17,830 --> 01:26:17,040 so there's definitely like a complex 2765 01:26:20,950 --> 01:26:17,840 element 2766 01:26:23,189 --> 01:26:20,960 in in that type of pacifism yeah 2767 01:26:24,709 --> 01:26:23,199 maybe his mother represented that's 2768 01:26:26,149 --> 01:26:24,719 that's the other thing that that we 2769 01:26:26,709 --> 01:26:26,159 didn't get we you know we've done 2770 01:26:29,110 --> 01:26:26,719 further 2771 01:26:30,950 --> 01:26:29,120 research we have an episode on kpfa 2772 01:26:31,430 --> 01:26:30,960 hopefully coming out in the next week or 2773 01:26:34,870 --> 01:26:31,440 so 2774 01:26:36,709 --> 01:26:34,880 deeper diving 2775 01:26:38,390 --> 01:26:36,719 into that and that was something that 2776 01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:38,400 really jumped out when i was 2777 01:26:42,390 --> 01:26:41,040 researching aquino's mom last year is 2778 01:26:43,270 --> 01:26:42,400 that he claimed that she was 2779 01:26:45,270 --> 01:26:43,280 instrumental 2780 01:26:46,709 --> 01:26:45,280 she basically co-founded the pacifica 2781 01:26:49,430 --> 01:26:46,719 foundation and 2782 01:26:51,270 --> 01:26:49,440 kpfa radio and i mean are you are you 2783 01:26:55,270 --> 01:26:51,280 familiar with the pacifica radio 2784 01:26:57,669 --> 01:26:55,280 kpfa kpfk i'm not but i can only 2785 01:26:59,189 --> 01:26:57,679 imagine yeah i mean i mean have you ever 2786 01:27:01,189 --> 01:26:59,199 seen democracy now 2787 01:27:02,950 --> 01:27:01,199 of course goodman yeah but that's that's 2788 01:27:04,790 --> 01:27:02,960 pacifica that's pacifica radio 2789 01:27:06,149 --> 01:27:04,800 and that's kind of like their flagship 2790 01:27:09,110 --> 01:27:06,159 but they were one of the first 2791 01:27:11,189 --> 01:27:09,120 listener supported alternative public 2792 01:27:12,709 --> 01:27:11,199 radio stations it started in berkeley in 2793 01:27:15,510 --> 01:27:12,719 the late 1940s 2794 01:27:16,550 --> 01:27:15,520 and then it expanded to los angeles and 2795 01:27:18,070 --> 01:27:16,560 then new york 2796 01:27:19,990 --> 01:27:18,080 and it's still around today in kind of 2797 01:27:22,149 --> 01:27:20,000 various forms and 2798 01:27:23,830 --> 01:27:22,159 the seeing that michael quino's mother 2799 01:27:24,470 --> 01:27:23,840 because you know i grew up in the bay 2800 01:27:28,229 --> 01:27:24,480 area 2801 01:27:32,070 --> 01:27:28,239 and i remember kpfa is a very granola 2802 01:27:34,070 --> 01:27:32,080 hippie lefty pacifist kind of radio 2803 01:27:36,310 --> 01:27:34,080 station like it's totally identified 2804 01:27:38,870 --> 01:27:36,320 with like the 60s california 2805 01:27:40,310 --> 01:27:38,880 sort of counterculture and is definitely 2806 01:27:42,310 --> 01:27:40,320 situated on the left 2807 01:27:43,430 --> 01:27:42,320 you know and so that's always what i 2808 01:27:45,189 --> 01:27:43,440 knew about it kind of 2809 01:27:46,790 --> 01:27:45,199 growing up and yeah if you watch you 2810 01:27:48,229 --> 01:27:46,800 know democracy now oh they're talking 2811 01:27:50,310 --> 01:27:48,239 about the green party and 2812 01:27:51,990 --> 01:27:50,320 you know

the fact that aquino's mother was 2816 01:27:57,270 --> 01:27:56,639 right there at the very beginning of it 2817 01:28:00,070 --> 01:27:57,280 and 2818 01:28:02,149 --> 01:28:00,080 like khalid said was in this milieu of 2819 01:28:03,590 --> 01:28:02,159 pacifists now the ones that i think 2820 01:28:05,350 --> 01:28:03,600 who was it lewis hill was the main 2821 01:28:06,070 --> 01:28:05,360 founder he was the nephew of frank 2822 01:28:08,950 --> 01:28:06,080 phillips 2823 01:28:11,110 --> 01:28:08,960 who was uh an oil baron who you know if 2824 01:28:13,510 --> 01:28:11,120 you know

01:30:15,270 --> 01:30:14,000 it might have been under the control of 2894 01:30:17,030 --> 01:30:15,280 mcgeorge bundy 2895 01:30:18,709 --> 01:30:17,040 you know and a bun and maybe a richard 2896

01:30:30,070 --> 01:30:28,480 something you know we've talked about in 2903 01:30:31,830 --> 01:30:30,080 a lot of different contexts like 2904 01:30:33,590 --> 01:30:31,840 the covert funding like you said with 2905 01:30:35,990 --> 01:30:33,600 gloria steinem and cia 2906 01:30:37,990 --> 01:30:36,000 like the funding of the counter culture 2907 01:30:39,030 --> 01:30:38,000 not like not just the subversion of it 2908 01:30:42,790 --> 01:30:39,040 but sometimes 2909 01:30:44,870 --> 01:30:42,800 creating entities out of whole cloth or 2910 01:30:46,709 --> 01:30:44,880 you know basically sponsoring things 2911 01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:46,719 that are so heavily infiltrated 2912 01:30:50,709 --> 01:30:48,560 that they end up serving the kind of 2913 01:30:53,990 --> 01:30:50,719 overall ideological purposes 2914 01:30:55,750 --> 01:30:54,000 of kind of the the us empire if you will 2915 01:30:57,590 --> 01:30:55,760 and it's like kind of cold war 2916 01:31:00,070 --> 01:30:57,600 objectives and oftentimes is 2917 01:31:00,709 --> 01:31:00,080 very subtle you know it's not like you 2918 01:31:02,709 --> 01:31:00,719 know 2919 01:31:03,750 --> 01:31:02,719 they did have john birch society people 2920 01:31:06,390 --> 01:31:03,760 and maoists and 2921 01:31:08,470 --> 01:31:06,400 sometimes communists on but they're you 2922 01:31:10,950 --> 01:31:08,480 know the way it was framed 2923 01:31:12,709 --> 01:31:10,960 was in such a way that i assume if it 2924 01:31:14,149 --> 01:31:12,719 was really 2925 01:31:15,830 --> 01:31:14,159 politically or epistemologically 2926 01:31:17,350 --> 01:31:15,840 threatening to the u.s ruling class then 2927 01:31:18,550 --> 01:31:17,360 the ford foundation wouldn't have given 2928 01:31:19,990 --> 01:31:18,560 it millions of dollars 2929 01:31:21,750 --> 01:31:20,000 you know i mean is that a safe 2930 01:31:22,870 --> 01:31:21,760 assumption yeah they also funded uh 2931 01:31:25,750 --> 01:31:22,880 kenneth anger 2932 01:31:27,270 --> 01:31:25,760 a satanic dabbler but yeah and you know 2933 01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:27,280 people sometimes will say like oh you 2934 01:31:31,030 --> 01:31:28,960 know what is the significance of 2935 01:31:32,629 --> 01:31:31,040 doing genealogy you know everyone has 2936 01:31:33,910 --> 01:31:32,639 like a suspicious family i mean the 2937 01:31:35,030 --> 01:31:33,920 queen of himself is suspicious so you 2938 01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:35,040 don't really even need to go to his 2939 01:31:38,629 --> 01:31:36,000 family but 2940 01:31:39,030 --> 01:31:38,639 you know it does bear mentioning that he 2941 01:31:40,709 --> 01:31:39,040 would 2942 01:31:42,149 --> 01:31:40,719 characterize himself you know in these 2943 01:31:44,229 --> 01:31:42,159 terms i remember one of my 2944 01:31:45,990 --> 01:31:44,239 uh favorite things that he's he's said 2945 01:31:48,629 --> 01:31:46,000 that someone else pointed out to us 2946 01:31:50,470 --> 01:31:48,639 was that he described himself as being 2947 01:31:52,870 --> 01:31:50,480 born with you know a whirl of 2948 01:31:54,709 --> 01:31:52,880 a swastika of hair on his chest you know 2949 01:31:56,310 --> 01:31:54,719 and his eyebrows oh my god naturally 2950 01:31:58,470 --> 01:31:56,320 tilted up in this satanic 2951 01:32:00,390 --> 01:31:58,480 way you know and i incidentally i was 2952 01:32:03,189 --> 01:32:00,400 born you know only nine months after a 2953 01:32:06,070 --> 01:32:03,199 certain ritual was performed you know by 2954 01:32:06,950 --> 01:32:06,080 jack you know yeah he basically depicted 2955 01:32:09,030 --> 01:32:06,960 himself as being like 2956 01:32:10,470 --> 01:32:09,040 a moon child produced by like the 2957 01:32:13,510 --> 01:32:10,480 babylon working or 2958 01:32:13,910 --> 01:32:13,520 any sort of antichrist ritual so you 2959 01:32:16,149 --> 01:32:13,920 know 2960 01:32:16,950 --> 01:32:16,159 the idea of uh implicating his mother in 2961 01:32:18,870 --> 01:32:16,960 all of this 2962 01:32:21,189 --> 01:32:18,880 is something that divisionates with him 2963 01:32:21,910 --> 01:32:21,199 you know yes and also just to throw in 2964 01:32:24,390 --> 01:32:21,920 we also 2965 01:32:25,430 --> 01:32:24,400 found i think in an interview you know 2966 01:32:28,149 --> 01:32:25,440 it was kind of 2967 01:32:29,750 --> 01:32:28,159 not a lot about her religion or you know 2968 01:32:31,350 --> 01:32:29,760 what kind of church or faith she 2969 01:32:32,790 --> 01:32:31,360 belonged to except for of course that 2970 01:32:35,590 --> 01:32:32,800 she joined the temple upset 2971 01:32:36,629 --> 01:32:35,600 in the 70s but before that he did 2972 01:32:39,110 --> 01:32:36,639 mention that 2973 01:32:40,310 --> 01:32:39,120 when she ran off and kind of got married 2974 01:32:42,390 --> 01:32:40,320 to aquino's 2975 01:32:43,830 --> 01:32:42,400 you know putative father a michael 2976 01:32:45,350 --> 01:32:43,840 aquino senior 2977 01:32:46,950 --> 01:32:45,360 right at the end of i i think right at 2978 01:32:49,510 --> 01:32:46,960 the end of world war ii 2979 01:32:50,629 --> 01:32:49,520 that they needed to find a church to go 2980 01:32:52,950 --> 01:32:50,639 get married in 2981 01:32:53,669 --> 01:32:52,960 and she didn't belong to a church which 2982 01:32:55,590 --> 01:32:53,679 i think 2983 01:32:56,870 --> 01:32:55,600 in early 20th century america is 2984 01:32:58,750 --> 01:32:56,880 interesting in and of itself 2985 01:33:00,709 --> 01:32:58,760 but then she finally picked a 2986 01:33:02,550 --> 01:33:00,719 swedenborgian church because 2987 01:33:04,070 --> 01:33:02,560 its doctrines were the least uh 2988 01:33:06,229 --> 01:33:04,080 repulsive to her 2989 01:33:08,149 --> 01:33:06,239 yeah and so you know i i'm still looking 2990 01:33:08,790 --> 01:33:08,159 more into swedenborgian stuff but that 2991 01:33:11,350 --> 01:33:08,800 is a real 2992 01:33:13,030 --> 01:33:11,360 very history and a huge free masonic 2993 01:33:14,470 --> 01:33:13,040 connection to the history of 2994 01:33:16,229 --> 01:33:14,480 swedenborganism so 2995 01:33:17,510 --> 01:33:16,239 yeah that is that stuck out to me as an 2996 01:33:18,709 --> 01:33:17,520 interesting choice when you mention it 2997 01:33:19,830 --> 01:33:18,719 way back when and 2998 01:33:22,229 --> 01:33:19,840 i think

--> 01:35:46,719 as a psychiatrist leads me to believe 3067 01:35:50,870 --> 01:35:48,960 that this is real they're not 3068 01:35:52,550 --> 01:35:50,880 hallucinating and that's what i'm 3069 01:35:53,510 --> 01:35:52,560 trained to do that's what i do i tell if 3070 01:35:55,430 --> 01:35:53,520 people are having 3071 01:35:57,189 --> 01:35:55,440 hallucinations or delusions or anything 3072 01:35:58,229 --> 01:35:57,199 like that they're people it's not 3073 01:36:00,390 --> 01:35:58,239 cultural there's 3074 01:36:01,910 --> 01:36:00,400 i have a two-year-old that says she saw 3075 01:36:05,350 --> 01:36:01,920 the thing come in the room this and that 3076 01:36:07,270 --> 01:36:05,360 i have people who are paraplegic 3077 01:36:08,950 --> 01:36:07,280 who can't move who have

real 3081 01:36:17,830 --> 01:36:15,520 right so that is who john mack is and he 3082 01:36:19,750 --> 01:36:17,840 gets in all sorts of trouble at harvard 3083 01:36:21,189 --> 01:36:19,760 which again he's kind of a naive guy 3084 01:36:23,910 --> 01:36:21,199 which is surprising 3085 01:36:25,189 --> 01:36:23,920 but he kind of has this you know he's 3086 01:36:28,790 --> 01:36:25,199 kind of a rich kid 3087 01:36:30,310 --> 01:36:28,800 a trust fund jewish elitist 3088 01:36:31,910 --> 01:36:30,320 east coast kind of and he's kind of 3089 01:36:33,350 --> 01:36:31,920 naive and he just thinks oh well this 3090 01:36:33,910 --> 01:36:33,360 will be great and then harvard is going 3091 01:36:35,590 --> 01:36:33,920 to 3092 01:36:37,189 --> 01:36:35,600 sack him you know and they call him in 3093 01:36:40,550 --> 01:36:37,199 for this kind of 3094 01:36:41,910 --> 01:36:40,560 inquisition kind of thing and he's 3095 01:36:44,070 --> 01:36:41,920 stumbles out of it and he doesn't know 3096 01:36:45,430 --> 01:36:44,080 what he does he doesn't know what to do 3097 01:36:46,790 --> 01:36:45,440 and he's like calling up whitley 3098 01:36:48,149 --> 01:36:46,800 strieber and he goes hey man i think 3099 01:36:51,030 --> 01:36:48,159 this is over you know 3100 01:36:52,390 --> 01:36:51,040 i could lose everything and who comes to 3101 01:36:55,830 --> 01:36:52,400 the rescue 3102 01:36:57,990 --> 01:36:55,840 danny sheehan danny sheen comes and he 3103 01:36:59,590 --> 01:36:58,000 represents him danny sheehan along with 3104 01:37:02,950 --> 01:36:59,600 who you guys you know always say 3105 01:37:05,430 --> 01:37:02,960 danny sheehan jesuit because he does 3106 01:37:07,669 --> 01:37:05,440 jesuit right the christic institute was 3107 01:37:09,270 --> 01:37:07,679 his thing that he founded yes 3108 01:37:11,350 --> 01:37:09,280 but he was originally like doing iran 3109 01:37:14,070 --> 01:37:11,360 contra defense you know defending 3110 01:37:15,750 --> 01:37:14,080 iran contra accuses whistleblowers but 3111 01:37:18,790 --> 01:37:15,760 he kind of blew it up by getting 3112 01:37:22,229 --> 01:37:18,800 mired in like larushi stuff you know 3113 01:37:23,109 --> 01:37:22,239 you you guys have an incredible show on 3114 01:37:25,510 --> 01:37:23,119 that that i 3115 01:37:27,270 --> 01:37:25,520 i i can't quite process that all the way 3116 01:37:29,510 --> 01:37:27,280 like i don't know because that could 3117 01:37:31,030 --> 01:37:29,520 flip either way and chance shows up in a 3118 01:37:32,070 --> 01:37:31,040 bunch of other different places but it 3119 01:37:34,470 --> 01:37:32,080 is interesting 3120 01:37:35,830 --> 01:37:34,480 and i actually asked you know ralph 3121 01:37:37,830 --> 01:37:35,840 blumenthal the guy who wrote the book 3122 01:37:39,510 --> 01:37:37,840 and he's a veteran new york times 3123 01:37:41,270 --> 01:37:39,520 journalist but there's another quick 3124 01:37:45,270 --> 01:37:41,280 story i want to say about blumenthal 3125 01:37:48,550 --> 01:37:45,280 but back to back to mack for a minute 3126 01:37:50,550 --> 01:37:48,560 his co-attorney on this is the guy from 3127 01:37:50,870 --> 01:37:50,560 uh spotlight the guy who i forget his 3128 01:37:53,350 --> 01:37:50,880 name 3129 01:37:55,270 --> 01:37:53,360 now but the guy who defeated broderick 3130 01:37:56,790 --> 01:37:55,280 broderick mcleish 3131 01:37:58,390 --> 01:37:56,800 you see the guy who prosecuted the 3132 01:38:01,830 --> 01:37:58,400 priests in boston 3133 01:38:03,189 --> 01:38:01,840 yes yes it is yeah so so that's what a 3134 01:38:06,790 --> 01:38:03,199 strange 3135 01:38:09,109 --> 01:38:06,800 mix there to have to have 3136 01:38:10,229 --> 01:38:09,119 didn't you do you want i don't know i 3137 01:38:11,430 --> 01:38:10,239 don't know if you're aware of this do 3138 01:38:12,870 --> 01:38:11,440 you want to 3139 01:38:14,790 --> 01:38:12,880 do you want it to get even weirder 3140 01:38:17,510 --> 01:38:14,800 because i'm reading right now 3141 01:38:18,390 --> 01:38:17,520 that he was supported john mack was 3142 01:38:20,470 --> 01:38:18,400 financially 3143 01:38:23,109 --> 01:38:20,480 or his non-profit was supported for four 3144 01:38:23,750 --> 01:38:23,119 years at a cost of 250 thousand dollars 3145 01:38:27,109 --> 01:38:23,760 pier 3146 01:38:28,629 --> 01:38:27,119 by the reincarnated emperor of atlantis 3147 01:38:30,709 --> 01:38:28,639 lawrence rockefeller 3148 01:38:32,229 --> 01:38:30,719 right yeah that makes sense yeah he was 3149 01:38:33,750 --> 01:38:32,239 told i guess during 3150 01:38:36,070 --> 01:38:33,760 allegedly we've heard that he was told 3151 01:38:38,229 --> 01:38:36,080 at esselm institute by the nine 3152 01:38:39,350 --> 01:38:38,239 the sort of channeled entities who ran 3153 01:38:40,870 --> 01:38:39,360 eslin for a while 3154 01:38:42,550 --> 01:38:40,880 you know that he was a reincarnation of 3155 01:38:44,390 --> 01:38:42,560 an emperor of atlantis so that's why we 3156 01:38:47,350 --> 01:38:44,400 refer to nelson rockefeller 3157 01:38:47,990 --> 01:38:47,360 by that title but yeah it's you know 3158 01:38:49,030 --> 01:38:48,000 this is 3159 01:38:50,709 --> 01:38:49,040 it's something that's very interesting 3160 01:38:51,830 --> 01:38:50,719 to me you know not to i know i haven't 3161 01:38:53,910 --> 01:38:51,840 listened to your show with 3162 01:38:55,109 --> 01:38:53,920 street verb i'm interested to do so but 3163 01:38:56,870 --> 01:38:55,119 it's something that was very interesting 3164 01:38:57,990 --> 01:38:56,880 to me and sort of reading more about him 3165 01:39:00,229 --> 01:38:58,000 because of the connection that jimmy 3166 01:39:00,870 --> 01:39:00,239 drew between him and jack sarfati and 3167 01:39:02,149 --> 01:39:00,880 epstein 3168 01:39:03,669 --> 01:39:02,159 that hadn't necessarily occurred to me 3169 01:39:05,189 --> 01:39:03,679 before you know his work goes in very 3170 01:39:06,870 --> 01:39:05,199 interesting directions you know the idea 3171 01:39:08,709 --> 01:39:06,880 of the connection between 3172 01:39:09,990 --> 01:39:08,719 the aliens and the dead you know of 3173 01:39:10,470 --> 01:39:10,000 course there's this gifted children 3174 01:39:12,870 --> 01:39:10,480 theme 3175 01:39:14,229 --> 01:39:12,880 where there's from childhood you know 3176 01:39:14,709 --> 01:39:14,239 there's this connection with them that 3177 01:39:17,189 --> 01:39:14,719 then 3178 01:39:18,709 --> 01:39:17,199 blossoms in later life and something 3179 01:39:19,189 --> 01:39:18,719 that he brought out in later works is 3180 01:39:21,189 --> 01:39:19,199 that 3181 01:39:22,790 --> 01:39:21,199 you know the there's some connection 3182 01:39:23,350 --> 01:39:22,800 between them and death you know that 3183 01:39:24,470 --> 01:39:23,360 we're being 3184 01:39:25,910 --> 01:39:24,480 brought up for death i guess it's 3185 01:39:27,350 --> 01:39:25,920 connected in a way with the ndae thing 3186 01:39:29,990 --> 01:39:27,360 and some of the skepticism 3187 01:39:31,350 --> 01:39:30,000 it connects only with the skeptical part 3188 01:39:33,350 --> 01:39:31,360 and that's why i think 3189 01:39:35,270 --> 01:39:33,360 we need to be suspicious of it because 3190 01:39:38,149 --> 01:39:35,280 it has so i don't know i 3191 01:39:40,070 --> 01:39:38,159 we can't decide definitively but it has 3192 01:39:42,470 --> 01:39:40,080 a lot of the fingerprints of a 3193 01:39:43,990 --> 01:39:42,480 of a psyop too you know is that i am 3194 01:39:44,709 --> 01:39:44,000 going to co-op that and i'm going to 3195 01:39:47,109 --> 01:39:44,719 kind of 3196 01:39:48,870 --> 01:39:47,119 control that message two narratives of 3197 01:39:49,350 --> 01:39:48,880 it one is that like it's all an alien 3198 01:39:51,669 --> 01:39:49,360 trick 3199 01:39:52,390 --> 01:39:51,679 and the other one is that the aliens are 3200 01:39:55,430 --> 01:39:52,400 like real 3201 01:39:57,590 --> 01:39:55,440 sincere peaceful representatives of 3202 01:39:58,790 --> 01:39:57,600 you know whatever awaits us upon death 3203 01:40:00,790 --> 01:39:58,800 you know there's different 3204 01:40:02,070 --> 01:40:00,800 spins on it i wouldn't necessarily break 3205 01:40:04,229 --> 01:40:02,080 it down like that because 3206 01:40:05,350 --> 01:40:04,239 i i would say look as soon as we 3207 01:40:06,950 --> 01:40:05,360 contemplate 3208 01:40:09,510 --> 01:40:06,960 an extraterrestrial non-human 3209 01:40:11,590 --> 01:40:09,520 intelligence in these extended realms 3210 01:40:13,669 --> 01:40:11,600 well we can attach anything to it we can 3211 01:40:15,750 --> 01:40:13,679 say you know they're in cahoots with 3212 01:40:17,350 --> 01:40:15,760 the military industrial complex and you 3213 01:40:20,070 --> 01:40:17,360 know this or that it's 3214 01:40:20,390 --> 01:40:20,080 my lab or that it's space brothers or 3215 01:40:22,310 --> 01:40:20,400 that 3216 01:40:23,430 --> 01:40:22,320 they came and met with eisenhower and 3217 01:40:24,870 --> 01:40:23,440 they gave him a choice do you want to be 3218 01:40:28,310 --> 01:40:24,880 the good areas 3219 01:40:30,870 --> 01:40:28,320 and he chose you can go to so again 3220 01:40:31,990 --> 01:40:30,880 where's terra firma you know and so to 3221

reality that we're 3231 01:40:55,510 --> 01:40:52,239 talking to on this little zoom call 3232 01:40:56,870 --> 01:40:55,520 is a non-reality so we're talking from a 3233 01:41:00,310 --> 01:40:56,880 prejudicially 3234 01:41:01,510 --> 01:41:00,320 uh stupider non-reality contemplating 3235 01:41:03,590 --> 01:41:01,520 the greater reality 3236 01:41:05,430 --> 01:41:03,600 because there's no other way to process 3237 01:41:07,990 --> 01:41:05,440 what what john mack is saying 3238 01:41:10,470 --> 01:41:08,000 because john mack after a while he kind 3239 01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:10,480 of comes around to the idea of kind of a 3240 01:41:15,270 --> 01:41:13,520 jacques village kind of hey maybe i 3241 01:41:17,590 --> 01:41:15,280 don't see the full picture 3242 01:41:19,430 --> 01:41:17,600 yeah and you know the thing i always 3243 01:41:20,790 --> 01:41:19,440 bring up about jacques vallee is that 3244 01:41:22,629 --> 01:41:20,800 because i interviewed jacques villa you 3245 01:41:24,229 --> 01:41:22,639 know jacques pillay says those things 3246 01:41:25,750 --> 01:41:24,239 but they are misinterpreted by most 3247 01:41:26,470 --> 01:41:25,760 people and i actually asked him this in 3248 01:41:29,270 --> 01:41:26,480 his interview 3249 01:41:31,030 --> 01:41:29,280 it's not a it's not an either and it's a 3250 01:41:31,990 --> 01:41:31,040 both thing and it's a guy who still 3251 01:41:35,030 --> 01:41:32,000 walks around 3252 01:41:37,430 --> 01:41:35,040 with a piece of slag in his pocket from 3253 01:41:39,350 --> 01:41:37,440 on quote-unquote alien spaceship that 3254 01:41:40,950 --> 01:41:39,360 when you look at it under 3255 01:41:43,750 --> 01:41:40,960 an electron microscope has 3256 01:41:46,790 --> 01:41:43,760 characteristics that we are unable to 3257 01:41:49,669 --> 01:41:46,800 create or engineer on this planet so 3258 01:41:50,390 --> 01:41:49,679 and if you go you know not to kind of do 3259 01:41:53,590 --> 01:41:50,400 the whole 3260 01:41:53,990 --> 01:41:53,600 but the other person i interviewed that 3261 01:41:55,990 --> 01:41:54,000 i think 3262 01:41:57,510 --> 01:41:56,000 i always think is like a forgotten piece 3263 01:41:59,910 --> 01:41:57,520 of this is like 3264 01:42:01,510 --> 01:41:59,920 this woman from montana state university 3265 01:42:03,669 --> 01:42:01,520 anthropologist her name is dr 3266 01:42:05,750 --> 01:42:03,679 artie six color clark native american 3267 01:42:06,870 --> 01:42:05,760 scholar but she went interviewed all 3268 01:42:08,790 --> 01:42:06,880 these 3269 01:42:09,910 --> 01:42:08,800 native americans and then she started 3270 01:42:11,750 --> 01:42:09,920 interviewing 3271 01:42:13,189 --> 01:42:11,760 indigenous people around the world and 3272 01:42:15,030 --> 01:42:13,199 they're like yeah star 3273 01:42:16,709 --> 01:42:15,040 people they come from the stars we've 3274 01:42:18,709 --> 01:42:16,719 known it all along here's what it is 3275 01:42:20,709 --> 01:42:18,719 and they even have contemporary 3276 01:42:21,830 --> 01:42:20,719 encounters with them but they also have 3277 01:42:23,510 --> 01:42:21,840 all these 3278 01:42:25,270 --> 01:42:23,520 ones from their tradition and stuff like 3279 01:42:29,109 --> 01:42:25,280 that so again to step 3280 01:42:31,510 --> 01:42:29,119 over that data and say oh well you know 3281 01:42:33,669 --> 01:42:31,520 we now understand or we now are 3282 01:42:36,310 --> 01:42:33,679 contemplating this extended realm where 3283 01:42:37,910 --> 01:42:36,320 aquino is doing dissociative identity 3284 01:42:40,629 --> 01:42:37,920 disorder and connecting with 3285 01:42:41,430 --> 01:42:40,639 evil spirits so wrap it up there it is 3286 01:42:43,910 --> 01:42:41,440 there's e.t 3287 01:42:45,510 --> 01:42:43,920 it's like [\h__\h] no don't look that way to 3288 01:42:48,870 --> 01:42:45,520 me it looks like e.t 3289 01:42:51,109 --> 01:42:48,880 is definitely in play and all the rest 3290 01:42:53,189 --> 01:42:51,119 of that stuff is in play and if anything 3291 01:42:55,189 --> 01:42:53,199 we're just sitting over here in our tiny 3292 01:42:56,950 --> 01:42:55,199 little confine of this 3293 01:42:58,790 --> 01:42:56,960 brain that's processing this 3294 01:43:01,590 --> 01:42:58,800 consciousness that's flowing through us 3295 01:43:03,750 --> 01:43:01,600 and we're looking through the pinhole so 3296 01:43:05,669 --> 01:43:03,760 you're saying basically that you 3297 01:43:07,750 --> 01:43:05,679 do think that they come from that 3298 01:43:10,550 --> 01:43:07,760 there's aliens from another planet 3299 01:43:10,950 --> 01:43:10,560 uh in outer space i mean best evidence 3300 01:43:14,310 --> 01:43:10,960 best 3301 01:43:15,350 --> 01:43:14,320 evidence is going to be cross culture 3302 01:43:19,910 --> 01:43:15,360 cross time 3303 01:43:21,830 --> 01:43:19,920 it's all over the place and they they 3304 01:43:23,270 --> 01:43:21,840 go to the dogen they don't even in in 3305 01:43:24,870 --> 01:43:23,280 africa an ancient tribe 3306 01:43:26,709 --> 01:43:24,880 they don't even have a language they say 3307 01:43:28,149 --> 01:43:26,719 yeah there it is pilates and by the way 3308 01:43:29,510 --> 01:43:28,159 you know for last hundreds of years 3309 01:43:29,990 --> 01:43:29,520 they've told us there's a twin star 3310 01:43:32,229 --> 01:43:30,000 there 3311 01:43:33,109 --> 01:43:32,239 and not until you know 20 years later 3312 01:43:35,430 --> 01:43:33,119 when we have the micro 3313 01:43:36,950 --> 01:43:35,440 when we have the telescope capability 3314 01:43:37,350 --> 01:43:36,960 after the first anthropologist gets 3315 01:43:42,629 --> 01:43:37,360 there 3316 01:43:44,870 --> 01:43:42,639 confirming yeah it's necessarily the 3317 01:43:46,310 --> 01:43:44,880 discount the importance of space or the 3318 01:43:48,629 --> 01:43:46,320 you know the importance of the sky or 3319 01:43:50,950 --> 01:43:48,639 the stars astronomical or astrological 3320 01:43:52,070 --> 01:43:50,960 phenomena and the connection to this i 3321 01:43:53,189 --> 01:43:52,080 think that definitely obviously 3322 01:43:54,870 --> 01:43:53,199 yes you're absolutely right that 3323 01:43:56,149 --> 01:43:54,880 culturally speaking there's an 3324 01:43:57,910 --> 01:43:56,159 association between 3325 01:43:59,830 --> 01:43:57,920 you know these beings in the sky so i 3326 01:44:01,750 --> 01:43:59,840 think that that is definitely sailing 3327 01:44:03,510 --> 01:44:01,760 and you know i think that space 3328 01:44:04,870 --> 01:44:03,520 traditionally speaking is imagined you 3329 01:44:05,910 --> 01:44:04,880 know as 3330 01:44:07,510 --> 01:44:05,920 you know we're talking about another 3331 01:44:08,709 --> 01:44:07,520 realm you know like you said both and 3332 01:44:09,430 --> 01:44:08,719 you know space traditionally isn't 3333 01:44:12,470 --> 01:44:09,440 imagined 3334 01:44:14,550 --> 01:44:12,480 as like an extension of our same 3335 01:44:15,990 --> 01:44:14,560 plane you know there's an atmosphere and 3336 01:44:17,189 --> 01:44:16,000 then you go out into outer space 3337 01:44:18,629 --> 01:44:17,199 we're talking about traditional 3338 01:44:19,990 --> 01:44:18,639 imaginative usually it is like a 3339 01:44:21,350 --> 01:44:20,000 different ontological domain 3340 01:44:23,510 --> 01:44:21,360 like the firmament you know where the 3341 01:44:25,270 --> 01:44:23,520 stars are that's not like just an 3342 01:44:27,189 --> 01:44:25,280 extension of the same sort of physical 3343 01:44:28,870 --> 01:44:27,199 rules or the same physical framework 3344 01:44:31,030 --> 01:44:28,880 that we have on earth you know by just 3345 01:44:32,470 --> 01:44:31,040 by virtue of like an atmospheric screen 3346 01:44:33,750 --> 01:44:32,480 you know it's a different like in the 3347 01:44:35,669 --> 01:44:33,760 same way you know that's where like 3348 01:44:39,109 --> 01:44:35,679 angels and things like that live 3349 01:44:40,870 --> 01:44:39,119 you know so it yeah i think definitely 3350 01:44:42,149 --> 01:44:40,880 yeah exactly powers at the powers of the 3351 01:44:43,030 --> 01:44:42,159 air right yeah so i think that there 3352 01:44:45,270 --> 01:44:43,040 definitely is 3353 01:44:46,870 --> 01:44:45,280 some some significance to that but you 3354 01:44:48,870 --> 01:44:46,880 know i definitely don't i don't think 3355 01:44:51,030 --> 01:44:48,880 it from from what i gather i don't think 3356 01:44:51,990 --> 01:44:51,040 that it means you you would either and 3357 01:44:53,510 --> 01:44:52,000 saying both and 3358 01:44:55,510 --> 01:44:53,520 i definitely think that there's more 3359 01:44:58,390 --> 01:44:55,520 than just that there's you know 3360 01:45:00,149 --> 01:44:58,400 a normal race of intelligent beings that 3361 01:45:01,830 --> 01:45:00,159 you know came here in spaceships and 3362 01:45:02,709 --> 01:45:01,840 there's something yeah there's something 3363 01:45:05,510 --> 01:45:02,719 going on with 3364 01:45:06,790 --> 01:45:05,520 other ontological domains of reality you 3365 01:45:07,270 --> 01:45:06,800 know there's a connection between this 3366 01:45:09,350 --> 01:45:07,280 and 3367 01:45:10,870 --> 01:45:09,360 you know the idea of the gin for 3368 01:45:13,270 --> 01:45:10,880 instance uh between you know 3369 01:45:14,470 --> 01:45:13,280 shadow people or other types of other 3370 01:45:16,790 --> 01:45:14,480 categories of the spirit 3371 01:45:18,310 --> 01:45:16,800 spirit being also the technology which 3372 01:45:20,149 --> 01:45:18,320 now i'm seeing that 3373 01:45:21,990 --> 01:45:20,159 the navy the pentagon just keeps 3374 01:45:23,030 --> 01:45:22,000 releasing these videos of course they 3375 01:45:25,350 --> 01:45:23,040 could always be 3376 01:45:26,470 --> 01:45:25,360 cgi'd but i'm willing to accept that the 3377 01:45:28,790 --> 01:45:26,480 videos are 3378 01:45:30,310 --> 01:45:28,800 showing something like we can finally 3379 01:45:32,390 --> 01:45:30,320 put that to rest that 3380 01:45:33,590 --> 01:45:32,400 ufos are not just definitely a ufo 3381 01:45:38,390 --> 01:45:33,600 phenomenon 3382 01:45:40,229 --> 01:45:38,400 definitely like there's not it's not 3383 01:45:42,229 --> 01:45:40,239 just like people like you know farmers 3384 01:45:43,990 --> 01:45:42,239 like out in the sticks like lying or 3385 01:45:45,990 --> 01:45:44,000 something or people just seeing 3386 01:45:47,750 --> 01:45:46,000 like balloons and being confused like 3387 01:45:48,629 --> 01:45:47,760 they're both genuine things and that's 3388 01:45:50,310 --> 01:45:48,639 always really been 3389 01:45:52,149 --> 01:45:50,320 acknowledged i think they're these are 3390 01:45:53,510 --> 01:45:52,159 real phenomena the question is 3391 01:45:55,430 --> 01:45:53,520 you know what's the explanation behind 3392 01:45:57,189 --> 01:45:55,440 them i mean to your earlier your much 3393 01:45:57,990 --> 01:45:57,199 earlier point the very top of the show i 3394 01:46:01,350 --> 01:45:58,000 think that i 3395 01:46:02,950 --> 01:46:01,360 am skeptical of the hard push toward the 3396 01:46:05,270 --> 01:46:02,960 kind of materialistic et 3397 01:46:06,229 --> 01:46:05,280 phenomenon from two angles you know one 3398 01:46:09,590 --> 01:46:06,239 being that 3399 01:46:11,030 --> 01:46:09,600 they're a military threat i think that 3400 01:46:14,310 --> 01:46:11,040 that's like a huge reduction 3401 01:46:16,070 --> 01:46:14,320 of the actual situation as you know 3402 01:46:18,390 --> 01:46:16,080 encountered by people who have 3403 01:46:20,070 --> 01:46:18,400 dealt with it extensively the pincer 3404 01:46:21,830 --> 01:46:20,080 movement as you guys called it i thought 3405 01:46:23,189 --> 01:46:21,840 was beautiful 3406 01:46:24,870 --> 01:46:23,199 yeah well yeah i mean yeah between 3407 01:46:26,550 --> 01:46:24,880 stephen greer and the to the stars 3408 01:46:27,990 --> 01:46:26,560 academy there is a weird kind of 3409 01:46:30,070 --> 01:46:28,000 dialectic going on 3410 01:46:31,750 --> 01:46:30,080 where they're kind of beefing it almost 3411 01:46:32,870 --> 01:46:31,760 feels in a kind of like a pro wrestling 3412 01:46:35,669 --> 01:46:32,880 kind of way 3413 01:46:36,470 --> 01:46:35,679 of these are the two poles of the ufo 3414 01:46:38,709 --> 01:46:36,480 disclosure 3415 01:46:40,310 --> 01:46:38,719 community and they're both saying the 3416 01:46:42,229 --> 01:46:40,320 other one is psyopping you 3417 01:46:43,430 --> 01:46:42,239 but they're probably both psyopping you 3418 01:46:44,470 --> 01:46:43,440 to a certain degree i mean when you just 3419 01:46:46,550 --> 01:46:44,480 look at who 3420 01:46:48,470 --> 01:46:46,560 these people are associated with like 3421 01:46:49,830 --> 01:46:48,480 you know people from the melon family 3422 01:46:52,550 --> 01:46:49,840 and pentagon people 3423 01:46:53,669 --> 01:46:52,560 and john podesta give me a break tell 3424 01:46:55,109 --> 01:46:53,679 that story real quick 3425 01:46:57,030 --> 01:46:55,119 in the way that you guys do it so you 3426 01:46:59,350 --> 01:46:57,040 got stephen grier up there saying 3427 01:47:00,310 --> 01:46:59,360 hey they're all good and the only bad 3428 01:47:02,310 --> 01:47:00,320 ones are the 3429 01:47:03,590 --> 01:47:02,320 evil my labs stay away from them and 3430 01:47:04,870 --> 01:47:03,600 then i love the way 3431 01:47:07,270 --> 01:47:04,880 so many people don't see this and you 3432 01:47:09,910 --> 01:47:07,280 guys were like totally on it you know 3433 01:47:10,950 --> 01:47:09,920 he's up there with uh with dodie he's up 3434 01:47:16,310 --> 01:47:10,960 there with dodie 3435 01:47:18,470 --> 01:47:16,320 how can we even how can we even process 3436 01:47:21,590 --> 01:47:18,480 that as anything other it's an in you 3437 01:47:23,189 --> 01:47:21,600 it's almost like in your face psyopping 3438 01:47:24,790 --> 01:47:23,199 you know mind controlling you 3439 01:47:26,470 --> 01:47:24,800 and and he comes out of transcendental 3440 01:47:29,109 --> 01:47:26,480 meditation yeah 3441 01:47:30,629 --> 01:47:29,119 well that's what he pushes as a way to 3442 01:47:32,070 --> 01:47:30,639 engage with these things so that's yeah 3443 01:47:33,030 --> 01:47:32,080 that's another interesting component of 3444 01:47:34,709 --> 01:47:33,040 it because 3445 01:47:36,629 --> 01:47:34,719 he does have this kind of yeah maybe 3446 01:47:38,709 --> 01:47:36,639 they're in a higher spiritual plane 3447 01:47:40,550 --> 01:47:38,719 but he still like deals in the same 3448 01:47:41,990 --> 01:47:40,560 tropes of like the saucer man you know 3449 01:47:43,990 --> 01:47:42,000 they come you know maybe they're 3450 01:47:45,270 --> 01:47:44,000 they're light beings in some way but 3451 01:47:46,629 --> 01:47:45,280 they you know 3452 01:47:47,910 --> 01:47:46,639 they've been they're in contact with the 3453 01:47:50,470 --> 01:47:47,920 military you know they come from other 3454 01:47:52,790 --> 01:47:50,480 planets etc you know and i think that 3455 01:47:54,310 --> 01:47:52,800 there definitely is i do not credit or 3456 01:47:55,590 --> 01:47:54,320 trust like the people who are trotted 3457 01:47:57,910 --> 01:47:55,600 out you know on tucker 3458 01:47:58,790 --> 01:47:57,920 or you know in the media to be the 3459 01:48:00,390 --> 01:47:58,800 ambassadors 3460 01:48:01,270 --> 01:48:00,400 for how this phenomenon's gonna be 3461 01:48:02,310 --> 01:48:01,280 interpreted because yeah you're 3462 01:48:03,990 --> 01:48:02,320 absolutely right that 3463 01:48:05,830 --> 01:48:04,000 those who have followed this for a while 3464 01:48:07,830 --> 01:48:05,840 like it is quite transparent to them 3465 01:48:09,189 --> 01:48:07,840 but i think that there's a huge increase 3466 01:48:10,550 --> 01:48:09,199 in awareness of this like in a general 3467 01:48:12,149 --> 01:48:10,560 population where there's a huge push 3468 01:48:13,669 --> 01:48:12,159 like the new york times etc 3469 01:48:15,270 --> 01:48:13,679 like their people are becoming more 3470 01:48:15,830 --> 01:48:15,280 aware and like they're just believing 3471 01:48:17,430 --> 01:48:15,840 what 3472 01:48:19,189 --> 01:48:17,440 these ambassadors of the subject are 3473 01:48:21,189 --> 01:48:19,199 saying and i do not trust 3474 01:48:22,629 --> 01:48:21,199 like you know either narrative and i 3475 01:48:23,590 --> 01:48:22,639 think that yeah it is a pincer move 3476 01:48:24,629 --> 01:48:23,600 where they're meant to be like in 3477 01:48:27,030 --> 01:48:24,639 dialectic 3478 01:48:28,149 --> 01:48:27,040 and by the appearance of conflict it's 3479 01:48:30,070 --> 01:48:28,159 to exclude 3480 01:48:31,830 --> 01:48:30,080 like all the things that are important 3481 01:48:33,350 --> 01:48:31,840 to consider about this like everything 3482 01:48:35,030 --> 01:48:33,360 that they agree on 3483 01:48:36,629 --> 01:48:35,040 is like the area where you need to be 3484 01:48:38,390 --> 01:48:36,639 worried like you know the fight they're 3485 01:48:39,109 --> 01:48:38,400 having is trivial like their area of 3486 01:48:40,550 --> 01:48:39,119 agreement 3487 01:48:42,709 --> 01:48:40,560 that's like where the psyop i think 3488 01:48:44,149 --> 01:48:42,719 comes in it's back to michael aquino 3489 01:48:44,550 --> 01:48:44,159 right i mean as you guys are saying it's 3490 01:48:46,470 --> 01:48:44,560 like 3491 01:48:48,550 --> 01:48:46,480 hey he was into uh he was a space 3492 01:48:49,990 --> 01:48:48,560 intelligence officer in the early 90s at 3493 01:48:52,229 --> 01:48:50,000 the end of his career 3494 01:48:53,510 --> 01:48:52,239 and on certain interviews he would talk 3495 01:48:56,149 --> 01:48:53,520 very coyly 3496 01:48:57,350 --> 01:48:56,159 about having been to area 51 and that 3497 01:48:59,990 --> 01:48:57,360 maybe he had seen 3498 01:49:00,950 --> 01:49:00,000 certain technologies that may or may not 3499 01:49:03,030 --> 01:49:00,960 have had e.t 3500 01:49:05,109 --> 01:49:03,040 origins but remember he said something 3501 01:49:06,470 --> 01:49:05,119 weird about like a gyroscope device that 3502 01:49:09,030 --> 01:49:06,480 he once held in his hand 3503 01:49:09,990 --> 01:49:09,040 that i guess i think he was implying it 3504 01:49:11,830 --> 01:49:10,000 mimicked the kind of 3505 01:49:13,910 --> 01:49:11,840 properties of how a ufo would move like 3506 01:49:14,550 --> 01:49:13,920 a flying i think that deep down you know 3507 01:49:17,510 --> 01:49:14,560 maybe not 3508 01:49:18,629 --> 01:49:17,520 he didn't publicize it as heavily uh as 3509 01:49:19,510 --> 01:49:18,639 maybe some other people do but i think 3510 01:49:22,149 --> 01:49:19,520 that he really did 3511 01:49:23,830 --> 01:49:22,159 also have kind of a both and approach to 3512 01:49:25,350 --> 01:49:23,840 this phenomenon in a similar jack-valley 3513 01:49:27,430 --> 01:49:25,360 way like he thought that 3514 01:49:29,589 --> 01:49:27,440 he did believe like in kind of ancient 3515 01:49:30,790 --> 01:49:29,599 aliens type stuff i think that he had an 3516 01:49:32,709 --> 01:49:30,800 idea of 3517 01:49:34,229 --> 01:49:32,719 set and maybe some of these like other 3518 01:49:35,669 --> 01:49:34,239 lovecraftian entities that he would 3519 01:49:37,350 --> 01:49:35,679 mention as being you know out there in 3520 01:49:39,109 --> 01:49:37,360 some way a connection between 3521 01:49:40,709 --> 01:49:39,119 you know the whole binary of the 3522 01:49:43,270 --> 01:49:40,719 material and spiritual is 3523 01:49:44,149 --> 01:49:43,280 a bit vain you know or at least a bit 3524 01:49:45,990 --> 01:49:44,159 porous 3525 01:49:47,350 --> 01:49:46,000 where you know i think that it's not 3526 01:49:49,669 --> 01:49:47,360 just like oh you know 3527 01:49:50,709 --> 01:49:49,679 they're evil spirits but they're they're 3528 01:49:52,070 --> 01:49:50,719 you know they're separate from our 3529 01:49:52,629 --> 01:49:52,080 reality no they're like a part of it the 3530 01:49:53,830 --> 01:49:52,639 whole 3531 01:49:55,830 --> 01:49:53,840 thing of like supernatural and 3532 01:49:56,629 --> 01:49:55,840 paranormal that is in a way like if not 3533 01:49:58,950 --> 01:49:56,639 a psyop 3534 01:50:01,030 --> 01:49:58,960 then like a naive distinction because 3535 01:50:04,310 --> 01:50:01,040 like these things are part of nature 3536 01:50:04,870 --> 01:50:04,320 let me throw a tiny little log on the 3537 01:50:06,950 --> 01:50:04,880 fire 3538 01:50:08,790 --> 01:50:06,960 that you guys can spin off of and it 3539 01:50:10,070 --> 01:50:08,800 totally complements what you're already 3540 01:50:12,950 --> 01:50:10,080 talking about but you know i was

the 3642 01:53:30,070 --> 01:53:28,080 media who said they like tried to apply 3643 01:53:33,030 --> 01:53:30,080 for the caa but got rejected 3644 01:53:33,669 --> 01:53:33,040 i don't believe that honestly and it's 3645 01:53:35,669 --> 01:53:33,679 interesting 3646 01:53:37,589 --> 01:53:35,679 he's kind of more you know we've talked 3647 01:53:38,390 --> 01:53:37,599 about the yankee and cowboy dialectic a 3648 01:53:40,629 --> 01:53:38,400 lot lately 3649 01:53:42,950 --> 01:53:40,639 tucker kind of comes from i i guess kind 3650 01:53:44,550 --> 01:53:42,960 of the despite his you know his love for 3651 01:53:45,430 --> 01:53:44,560 bow ties in the past kind of a more 3652 01:53:47,189 --> 01:53:45,440 cowboy 3653 01:53:48,550 --> 01:53:47,199 aligned sort of thing so maybe he's 3654 01:53:51,589 --> 01:53:48,560 going to be having 3655 01:53:53,030 --> 01:53:51,599 more of the steven greer type 3656 01:53:55,750 --> 01:53:53,040 i though i don't know maybe it doesn't 3657 01:53:57,430 --> 01:53:55,760 matter neatly boosted the elizondo 3658 01:53:58,950 --> 01:53:57,440 type of like he boosted the phenomenon 3659 01:54:00,149 --> 01:53:58,960 on the show i remember very clearly that 3660 01:54:01,750 --> 01:54:00,159 when he had 3661 01:54:03,750 --> 01:54:01,760 uh i think it was alexander that he had 3662 01:54:06,709 --> 01:54:03,760 in his show but whoever he had on 3663 01:54:08,550 --> 01:54:06,719 he did he did yeah he said something 3664 01:54:10,390 --> 01:54:08,560 that was like if it weren't an election 3665 01:54:11,830 --> 01:54:10,400 year you know or an election month we 3666 01:54:13,430 --> 01:54:11,840 would do a whole week on this 3667 01:54:15,109 --> 01:54:13,440 it's that important which is such an 3668 01:54:16,790 --> 01:54:15,119 amazing you know especially for like 3669 01:54:18,390 --> 01:54:16,800 an audience like tucker's which is 3670 01:54:19,830 --> 01:54:18,400 generally very uncritical 3671 01:54:21,589 --> 01:54:19,840 and you know just hanging on his every 3672 01:54:21,990 --> 01:54:21,599 word for like all their views about the 3673 01:54:23,990 --> 01:54:22,000 world 3674 01:54:25,589 --> 01:54:24,000 like that's quite a profound statement 3675 01:54:27,270 --> 01:54:25,599 like yeah i use hyperbole all the time 3676 01:54:27,910 --> 01:54:27,280 but like that's gonna activate like 3677 01:54:30,470 --> 01:54:27,920 people's 3678 01:54:31,589 --> 01:54:30,480 sensibilities about this but yes it's 3679 01:54:33,350 --> 01:54:31,599 it's very bizarre and something that you 3680 01:54:35,589 --> 01:54:33,360 know the whole thing i feel like 3681 01:54:36,790 --> 01:54:35,599 the most famous or one of the most 3682 01:54:39,510 --> 01:54:36,800 famous things 3683 01:54:40,950 --> 01:54:39,520 or ufos to come out of this is tic tac 3684 01:54:42,629 --> 01:54:40,960 you know the idea of the tic tac 3685 01:54:44,229 --> 01:54:42,639 something that is like okay so what is 3686 01:54:45,030 --> 01:54:44,239 the space narrative you know there 3687 01:54:46,470 --> 01:54:45,040 definitely has to be some more 3688 01:54:49,189 --> 01:54:46,480 complexity to it because 3689 01:54:51,030 --> 01:54:49,199 did the aliens just invent the tic tac 3690 01:54:52,149 --> 01:54:51,040 like what happened to the old saucers 3691 01:54:53,669 --> 01:54:52,159 you know they stopped 3692 01:54:55,030 --> 01:54:53,679 using those they have now the tic tacs 3693 01:54:56,229 --> 01:54:55,040 are like and how convenient is it that 3694 01:54:59,109 --> 01:54:56,239 this now looks like 3695 01:55:00,310 --> 01:54:59,119 the case for your like apple ear pods or 3696 01:55:01,750 --> 01:55:00,320 whatever you know that they're flying 3697 01:55:02,310 --> 01:55:01,760 around in like it looks like something 3698 01:55:04,070 --> 01:55:02,320 that 3699 01:55:06,229 --> 01:55:04,080 you know apple would design if they were 3700 01:55:07,910 --> 01:55:06,239 going to design like a ufo like why 3701 01:55:09,430 --> 01:55:07,920 why is this the case you know it's it's 3702 01:55:10,709 --> 01:55:09,440 very interesting you know yeah i mean i 3703 01:55:12,229 --> 01:55:10,719 jack valet was involved in that 3704 01:55:13,109 --> 01:55:12,239 phenomenon documentary and i definitely 3705 01:55:14,550 --> 01:55:13,119 understand the 3706 01:55:15,750 --> 01:55:14,560 critique of jack valet that you hear 3707 01:55:17,109 --> 01:55:15,760 from some quarters and he is like a 3708 01:55:17,750 --> 01:55:17,119 spooked up person and he has these 3709 01:55:19,510 --> 01:55:17,760 things but 3710 01:55:21,510 --> 01:55:19,520 i don't understand i don't understand 3711 01:55:23,589 --> 01:55:21,520 the haters i don't understand the haters 3712 01:55:27,350 --> 01:55:23,599 on valet i really don't i think he's 3713 01:55:29,750 --> 01:55:27,360 i think he's as legit as as i can find 3714 01:55:31,830 --> 01:55:29,760 and i think he has that that french vibe 3715 01:55:33,109 --> 01:55:31,840 that adds to his legitimacy to a certain 3716 01:55:34,310 --> 01:55:33,119 extent because i really don't give a 3717 01:55:36,149 --> 01:55:34,320 [\h__\h] about what you 3718 01:55:37,350 --> 01:55:36,159 americans think i'm going to go back to 3719 01:55:39,830 --> 01:55:37,360 the sanity 3720 01:55:41,030 --> 01:55:39,840 sanity of france but he's also you know 3721 01:55:42,550 --> 01:55:41,040 he's plugged into 3722 01:55:44,310 --> 01:55:42,560 i think he's legitimate venture 3723 01:55:45,350 --> 01:55:44,320 capitalist not like a phony venture 3724 01:55:47,270 --> 01:55:45,360 capitalist that gets 3725 01:55:49,510 --> 01:55:47,280 put on boards he really has some 3726 01:55:50,950 --> 01:55:49,520 knowledge he's a computer scientist you 3727 01:55:54,229 --> 01:55:50,960 know and i'm a computer scientist 3728 01:55:55,669 --> 01:55:54,239 so i i respect that he i don't know i 3729 01:55:57,350 --> 01:55:55,679 don't understand the haters there 3730 01:55:59,589 --> 01:55:57,360 and you know the story the story that he 3731 01:56:01,030 --> 01:55:59,599 told me on the show that i thought was 3732 01:56:03,030 --> 01:56:01,040 really great and it's confirming of 3733 01:56:06,870 --> 01:56:03,040 something else that you guys can 3734 01:56:07,990 --> 01:56:06,880 clue into he said he was there at sri 3735 01:56:09,750 --> 01:56:08,000 when they were doing the project 3736 01:56:11,109 --> 01:56:09,760 stargate stuff at the beginning you know 3737 01:56:11,510 --> 01:56:11,119 before they get into the remote viewing 3738 01:56:13,669 --> 01:56:11,520 or 3739 01:56:15,669 --> 01:56:13,679 i guess at the same time but they had 3740 01:56:17,350 --> 01:56:15,679 uri geller famously there you know the 3741 01:56:19,030 --> 01:56:17,360 nine guy from the nine who 3742 01:56:20,709 --> 01:56:19,040 andre which we could go off but we're 3743 01:56:23,270 --> 01:56:20,719 not going to go there but anyways 3744 01:56:25,510 --> 01:56:23,280 he's there and he had missed the 3745 01:56:27,830 --> 01:56:25,520 experiment the testing that he done 3746 01:56:29,270 --> 01:56:27,840 so he says yuri says here we'll do it 3747 01:56:31,830 --> 01:56:29,280 we'll do it right here 3748 01:56:32,390 --> 01:56:31,840 and so this is the words of jacques 3749 01:56:35,510 --> 01:56:32,400 vallee 3750 01:56:38,870 --> 01:56:35,520 he says i did a protocol 3751 01:56:39,430 --> 01:56:38,880 where i came up with this image in my 3752 01:56:41,589 --> 01:56:39,440 head 3753 01:56:43,030 --> 01:56:41,599 and then jacques filet or i wrote it 3754 01:56:45,750 --> 01:56:43,040 down or whatever it was 3755 01:56:46,950 --> 01:56:45,760 but it was really quite amazing and i'm 3756 01:56:47,990 --> 01:56:46,960 botching it because i can't remember it 3757 01:56:51,030 --> 01:56:48,000 off the top of my head 3758 01:56:52,229 --> 01:56:51,040 but it was actually had a language part 3759 01:56:54,870 --> 01:56:52,239 of it that combined 3760 01:56:56,950 --> 01:56:54,880 two images in a way that you wouldn't 3761 01:56:59,830 --> 01:56:56,960 normally do it was just kind of a 3762 01:57:01,030 --> 01:56:59,840 quirky thing that valet had had done 3763 01:57:03,030 --> 01:57:01,040 almost inadvertently 3764 01:57:04,790 --> 01:57:03,040 that would have probably not flown in 3765 01:57:05,830 --> 01:57:04,800 the protocol of the experiment but made 3766 01:57:09,510 --> 01:57:05,840 it more difficult 3767 01:57:12,629 --> 01:57:09,520 but geller was able to totally you know 3768 01:57:15,030 --> 01:57:12,639 get it and say exac read his mind 3769 01:57:16,790 --> 01:57:15,040 essentially and he was also able to you 3770 01:57:18,470 --> 01:57:16,800 know bend spoons 3771 01:57:20,629 --> 01:57:18,480 right in front of him and spoons that 3772 01:57:22,390 --> 01:57:20,639 were at the table in the cafeteria 3773 01:57:24,229 --> 01:57:22,400 and he was able to stop a watch and all 3774 01:57:27,109 --> 01:57:24,239 that stuff that sounds 3775 01:57:28,790 --> 01:57:27,119 really really hokey and really really 3776 01:57:31,030 --> 01:57:28,800 suspicious 3777 01:57:32,550 --> 01:57:31,040 i mean he doesn't have a reason to lie 3778 01:57:32,950 --> 01:57:32,560 on that and tell those stories and he 3779 01:57:34,629 --> 01:57:32,960 says 3780 01:57:35,669 --> 01:57:34,639 he's there yeah we know i just tend to 3781 01:57:36,870 --> 01:57:35,679 hedge like when we're talking about 3782 01:57:38,790 --> 01:57:36,880 these things but really what i was 3783 01:57:41,109 --> 01:57:38,800 my larger point was that i really admire 3784 01:57:43,109 --> 01:57:41,119 his passport to magonia and i i admire 3785 01:57:44,470 --> 01:57:43,119 the take that he and john keel have on 3786 01:57:45,750 --> 01:57:44,480 this phenomenon where you know 3787 01:57:47,589 --> 01:57:45,760 you can see the for instance in the 3788 01:57:48,709 --> 01:57:47,599 airship rumors you know in the 19th 3789 01:57:50,070 --> 01:57:48,719 century united states 3790 01:57:51,430 --> 01:57:50,080 around like the you know mysterious 3791 01:57:53,189 --> 01:57:51,440 inventor who built this airship that was 3792 01:57:55,430 --> 01:57:53,199 cited by so many people or even 3793 01:57:57,270 --> 01:57:55,440 the medieval accounts of like a big hook 3794 01:57:57,669 --> 01:57:57,280 coming out of some airborne craft and 3795 01:58:00,790 --> 01:57:57,679 like 3796 01:58:03,350 --> 01:58:00,800 transformations in 3797 01:58:05,430 --> 01:58:03,360 the way these craft are seen based on 3798 01:58:07,270 --> 01:58:05,440 you know what people 3799 01:58:08,950 --> 01:58:07,280 imagine about them or had their 3800 01:58:09,589 --> 01:58:08,960 expectations that they have and all the 3801 01:58:11,750 --> 01:58:09,599 different 3802 01:58:12,870 --> 01:58:11,760 weird absurdities or contradictions 3803 01:58:13,669 --> 01:58:12,880 around the phenomenon you know i think 3804 01:58:15,270 --> 01:58:13,679 that's a very 3805 01:58:16,629 --> 01:58:15,280 sailing and important point like when 3806 01:58:17,270 --> 01:58:16,639 talking about this stuff you know i 3807 01:58:20,229 --> 01:58:17,280 think that 3808 01:58:21,750 --> 01:58:20,239 something that the stephen greer and the 3809 01:58:22,470 --> 01:58:21,760 stars academy approaches both have in 3810 01:58:24,310 --> 01:58:22,480 common 3811 01:58:25,830 --> 01:58:24,320 is that they're very reductive they're 3812 01:58:26,629 --> 01:58:25,840 very narrow in their approach you know 3813 01:58:28,229 --> 01:58:26,639 they want us to 3814 01:58:30,070 --> 01:58:28,239 you know they do want to have a point 3815 01:58:31,750 --> 01:58:30,080 nailing it down you know and 3816 01:58:33,030 --> 01:58:31,760 for things to be like oh you know the 3817 01:58:34,310 --> 01:58:33,040 all the aliens look like this you know 3818 01:58:34,950 --> 01:58:34,320 they these are the craft that they fly 3819 01:58:37,270 --> 01:58:34,960 et cetera 3820 01:58:39,109 --> 01:58:37,280 yeah and it's just like exactly yeah 3821 01:58:42,229 --> 01:58:39,119 yeah they want to bottle it all up 3822 01:58:43,589 --> 01:58:42,239 yeah yeah no i think i 3823 01:58:46,149 --> 01:58:43,599 i think it's the i think it's the 3824 01:58:49,430 --> 01:58:46,159 closest even though 3825 01:58:51,910 --> 01:58:49,440 i can't say a 100 would trust jack valet 3826 01:58:54,149 --> 01:58:51,920 but that's more has to do with the 3827 01:58:57,270 --> 01:58:54,159 people he was associated with 3828 01:58:59,990 --> 01:58:57,280 from put off to targ to who was it kit 3829 01:59:02,149 --> 01:59:00,000 green the cia analyst to ira einhorn and 3830 01:59:04,229 --> 01:59:02,159 somebody else who got the god phone call 3831 01:59:05,430 --> 01:59:04,239 you know yeah weird case there edgar 3832 01:59:08,070 --> 01:59:05,440 mitchell who 3833 01:59:09,910 --> 01:59:08,080 i think founded uh the

02:00:06,560 funding 3865 02:00:10,390 --> 02:00:08,320 for srs remote viewing research in a 3866 02:00:11,430 --> 02:00:10,400 private meeting with director of central 3867 02:00:14,470 --> 02:00:11,440 intelligence george 3868 02:00:17,589 --> 02:00:14,480 h.w bush so i guess they knew 3869 02:00:19,350 --> 02:00:17,599 they had the good relationship but where 3870 02:00:20,950 --> 02:00:19,360 i i can't remember if instituted noetic 3871 02:00:22,470 --> 02:00:20,960 scientists well okay so they 3872 02:00:24,390 --> 02:00:22,480 they were one of the people that were 3873 02:00:26,149 --> 02:00:24,400 involved with the sri 3874 02:00:27,830 --> 02:00:26,159 report that we just did an episode on 3875 02:00:29,669 --> 02:00:27,840 called changing images of man 3876 02:00:31,189 --> 02:00:29,679 yeah that's something yeah i wanted to 3877 02:00:34,629 --> 02:00:31,199 bring up this whole time because 3878 02:00:36,629 --> 02:00:34,639 yeah yeah to that type of you know 60s 3879 02:00:37,910 --> 02:00:36,639 stuff with it like you know when you 3880 02:00:39,510 --> 02:00:37,920 mention like they're engaged with remote 3881 02:00:41,910 --> 02:00:39,520 viewing and all these things like an 3882 02:00:42,709 --> 02:00:41,920 sri in particular like yeah it's uh very 3883 02:00:44,790 --> 02:00:42,719 very relevant 3884 02:00:45,830 --> 02:00:44,800 i think yeah yeah they mention all kinds 3885 02:00:48,709 --> 02:00:45,840 of things from 3886 02:00:49,750 --> 02:00:48,719 esp to remote viewing to hypnosis and 3887 02:00:52,790 --> 02:00:49,760 things like that 3888 02:00:54,310 --> 02:00:52,800 and in that and it feels very prophetic 3889 02:00:55,750 --> 02:00:54,320 in that basically 3890 02:00:58,310 --> 02:00:55,760 they're kind of talking about social 3891 02:00:59,990 --> 02:00:58,320 engineering using a kind of new ag 3892 02:01:01,910 --> 02:01:00,000 paradigm that was very big in 3893 02:01:03,430 --> 02:01:01,920 stanford and palo alto and kind of 3894 02:01:05,510 --> 02:01:03,440 california in general 3895 02:01:07,109 --> 02:01:05,520 among this kind of academic and 3896 02:01:09,510 --> 02:01:07,119 scientific intelligentsia 3897 02:01:11,109 --> 02:01:09,520 at the time and a lot of it does seem to 3898 02:01:13,669 --> 02:01:11,119 have come curiously kind of 3899 02:01:14,709 --> 02:01:13,679 true often kind of via the internet 3900 02:01:16,950 --> 02:01:14,719 which is also 3901 02:01:18,550 --> 02:01:16,960 what sri was building at the exact same 3902 02:01:20,310 --> 02:01:18,560 time and that's i don't know if you have 3903 02:01:23,030 --> 02:01:20,320 any uh particular take on 3904 02:01:24,390 --> 02:01:23,040 that the kind of duality of because i do 3905 02:01:25,990 --> 02:01:24,400 think it's very interesting 3906 02:01:28,229 --> 02:01:26,000 that they were doing all these 3907 02:01:31,030 --> 02:01:28,239 experiments in esp remote viewing 3908 02:01:31,350 --> 02:01:31,040 telekinesis whatnot and kind of like you 3909 02:01:35,350 --> 02:01:31,360 know 3910 02:01:37,430 --> 02:01:35,360 brain to brain if you will 3911 02:01:39,669 --> 02:01:37,440 but then they're simultaneously building 3912 02:01:41,030 --> 02:01:39,679 the infrastructure and the technology 3913 02:01:43,510 --> 02:01:41,040 and even like the you know the 3914 02:01:45,270 --> 02:01:43,520 conceptual framework for what would be 3915 02:01:47,189 --> 02:01:45,280 like computer technology and the 3916 02:01:49,350 --> 02:01:47,199 internet and in a way if you look at 3917 02:01:51,030 --> 02:01:49,360 like satellite gps technology our 3918 02:01:54,310 --> 02:01:51,040 smartphones all these things 3919 02:01:55,910 --> 02:01:54,320 are these not kind of like substitute 3920 02:01:58,709 --> 02:01:55,920 prosthetic like 3921 02:01:59,350 --> 02:01:58,719 cyborg devices that are meant to do the 3922 02:02:01,109 --> 02:01:59,360 things 3923 02:02:02,950 --> 02:02:01,119 that were being covered in these remote 3924 02:02:05,510 --> 02:02:02,960 viewing and parapsychology 3925 02:02:06,790 --> 02:02:05,520 experiments and if so i know there 3926 02:02:07,750 --> 02:02:06,800 there's a take that i'm familiar with 3927 02:02:09,990 --> 02:02:07,760 that i'm not sure 3928 02:02:11,510 --> 02:02:10,000 that i am fully on board with because i 3929 02:02:13,270 --> 02:02:11,520 think there's there's some kind of there 3930 02:02:15,430 --> 02:02:13,280 there with the parapsychology stuff 3931 02:02:17,270 --> 02:02:15,440 but to some extent was some of that 3932 02:02:20,070 --> 02:02:17,280 stuff a smoke screen 3933 02:02:21,750 --> 02:02:20,080 perhaps or certain aspects of it for the 3934 02:02:23,589 --> 02:02:21,760 actual building of the internet 3935 02:02:25,350 --> 02:02:23,599 because okay just for example remote 3936 02:02:27,350 --> 02:02:25,360 viewing they were using that in the 3937 02:02:30,310 --> 02:02:27,360 1980s people like ingo swan right 3938 02:02:31,030 --> 02:02:30,320 to go spy on say a soviet nuclear 3939 02:02:34,310 --> 02:02:31,040 facility 3940 02:02:35,830 --> 02:02:34,320 right and you know they they would use 3941 02:02:38,470 --> 02:02:35,840 it for espionage purposes 3942 02:02:39,030 --> 02:02:38,480 but then there are other things that 3943 02:02:41,189 --> 02:02:39,040 could do 3944 02:02:42,070 --> 02:02:41,199 the exact same thing at least to my 3945 02:02:45,109 --> 02:02:42,080 knowledge 3946 02:02:45,510 --> 02:02:45,119 when you were talking about like the i 3947 02:02:46,950 --> 02:02:45,520 don't know 3948 02:02:49,030 --> 02:02:46,960 the types of remote viewing they would 3949 02:02:49,830 --> 02:02:49,040 at least be doing in these military 3950 02:02:51,189 --> 02:02:49,840 applications 3951 02:02:52,709 --> 02:02:51,199 maybe there was a story about they 3952 02:02:54,229 --> 02:02:52,719 walked into like bridge and you have 3953 02:02:56,229 --> 02:02:54,239 office and the kremlin ones 3954 02:02:58,070 --> 02:02:56,239 that was one of the yeah one of the 3955 02:03:00,229 --> 02:02:58,080 soviet psychic discoveries book that we 3956 02:03:01,030 --> 02:03:00,239 read that was one i forgot the name of 3957 02:03:05,910 --> 02:03:01,040 the 3958 02:03:08,790 --> 02:03:05,920 great sort of magician and illusionist 3959 02:03:10,950 --> 02:03:08,800 yeah well one thing that was kind of 3960 02:03:12,390 --> 02:03:10,960 significant is like once they had 3961 02:03:14,229 --> 02:03:12,400 the kind of i think what was it called 3962 02:03:15,830 --> 02:03:14,239 echelon like the secret spy 3963 02:03:17,350 --> 02:03:15,840 satellite network that was really up and 3964 02:03:19,510 --> 02:03:17,360 running by the 80s 3965 02:03:20,629 --> 02:03:19,520 they were able to monitor soviet 3966 02:03:22,790 --> 02:03:20,639 economic activity 3967 02:03:24,390 --> 02:03:22,800 in real time in a way that they never 3968 02:03:26,390 --> 02:03:24,400 were able to do before 3969 02:03:28,229 --> 02:03:26,400 and because of this so for example like 3970 02:03:29,830 --> 02:03:28,239 take grain for example 3971 02:03:31,270 --> 02:03:29,840 if you could have satellites flying over 3972 02:03:34,229 --> 02:03:31,280 there 24 7 3973 02:03:35,189 --> 02:03:34,239 and you could predict the size of the 3974 02:03:37,990 --> 02:03:35,199 grain harvest 3975 02:03:38,629 --> 02:03:38,000 or you know where how fast it moved to 3976 02:03:40,790 --> 02:03:38,639 market 3977 02:03:43,030 --> 02:03:40,800 the transportation lines all that kind 3978 02:03:43,669 --> 02:03:43,040 of stuff that you were kind of boxed out 3979 02:03:44,790 --> 02:03:43,679 on before 3980 02:03:46,550 --> 02:03:44,800 like it was really hard to get 3981 02:03:47,910 --> 02:03:46,560 intelligence on that if you could get 3982 02:03:49,750 --> 02:03:47,920 enough detail 3983 02:03:51,430 --> 02:03:49,760 then you could start manipulating global 3984 02:03:53,270 --> 02:03:51,440 commodities markets 3985 02:03:55,030 --> 02:03:53,280 which they did you know under the 3986 02:03:57,030 --> 02:03:55,040 leadership of people like bill casey the 3987 02:03:58,950 --> 02:03:57,040 cia director as part of this vaster 3988 02:04:01,990 --> 02:03:58,960 strategy to economically 3989 02:04:04,069 --> 02:04:02,000 basically sabotage the eastern bloc and 3990 02:04:05,430 --> 02:04:04,079 basically throw it into crisis by 3991 02:04:07,109 --> 02:04:05,440 manipulating everything from like the 3992 02:04:09,589 --> 02:04:07,119 global oil prices to 3993 02:04:10,470 --> 02:04:09,599 like the price of grain and all kinds of 3994 02:04:13,270 --> 02:04:10,480 other things 3995 02:04:14,629 --> 02:04:13,280 so in a way the that satellite 3996 02:04:16,709 --> 02:04:14,639 technology 3997 02:04:18,229 --> 02:04:16,719 would be an incredibly valuable weapon 3998 02:04:20,790 --> 02:04:18,239 to disrupt their economy 3999 02:04:22,229 --> 02:04:20,800 now if they knew that we had those 4000 02:04:23,030 --> 02:04:22,239 satellites i mean i don't know if they 4001 02:04:25,669 --> 02:04:23,040 could have you know 4002 02:04:27,030 --> 02:04:25,679 done anything about it but if they knew 4003 02:04:28,390 --> 02:04:27,040 that we had those satellites you know 4004 02:04:29,270 --> 02:04:28,400 maybe they could you know plan 4005 02:04:31,430 --> 02:04:29,280 accordingly 4006 02:04:32,709 --> 02:04:31,440 and try to counteract that but if all 4007 02:04:34,470 --> 02:04:32,719 they hear is that 4008 02:04:35,910 --> 02:04:34,480 we have a bunch of psychic super spies 4009 02:04:37,189 --> 02:04:35,920 that are remote viewing on them 4010 02:04:39,030 --> 02:04:37,199 which is what they were hearing because 4011 02:04:39,750 --> 02:04:39,040 the esselyn had the soviet american 4012 02:04:41,589 --> 02:04:39,760 friendship 4013 02:04:43,030 --> 02:04:41,599 organization oh my god sending 4014 02:04:45,270 --> 02:04:43,040 scientists back there's too much there's 4015 02:04:48,229 --> 02:04:45,280 too many threads here but you do have to 4016 02:04:50,310 --> 02:04:48,239 before you leave the gorby yelsin 4017 02:04:53,830 --> 02:04:50,320 dropping acid thing 4018 02:04:54,790 --> 02:04:53,840 is so freaking because it's another one 4019 02:04:56,790 --> 02:04:54,800 of those where 4020 02:04:57,910 --> 02:04:56,800 now i don't know how i feel about that 4021 02:05:01,189 --> 02:04:57,920 now i feel like 4022 02:05:02,629 --> 02:05:01,199 damn way to go guys you know i mean 4023 02:05:04,229 --> 02:05:02,639 tell that tell that story real quick 4024 02:05:07,910 --> 02:05:04,239 well 4025 02:05:10,390 --> 02:05:07,920 we don't know that for sure 4026 02:05:12,069 --> 02:05:10,400 but we do know that it's almost certain 4027 02:05:13,669 --> 02:05:12,079 to me it's almost certain that it's some 4028 02:05:14,550 --> 02:05:13,679 kind of drug i don't know if it was i 4029 02:05:16,709 --> 02:05:14,560 think 4030 02:05:18,149 --> 02:05:16,719 at least to yeltsin at least because 4031 02:05:20,870 --> 02:05:18,159 yeltsin came over here 4032 02:05:21,270 --> 02:05:20,880 in the kind of mid to late 1980s when he 4033 02:05:22,790 --> 02:05:21,280 was still 4034 02:05:24,550 --> 02:05:22,800 you know a politician a soviet 4035 02:05:26,870 --> 02:05:24,560

from him and apparently this 4042 02:05:39,990 --> 02:05:38,800 is where he had his ecstatic conversion 4043 02:05:42,550 --> 02:05:40,000 to capitalism 4044 02:05:43,750 --> 02:05:42,560 was in the houston supermarket on this 4045 02:05:45,990 --> 02:05:43,760 tour by esselyn 4046 02:05:46,950 --> 02:05:46,000 where he looked around at just all the 4047 02:05:51,350 --> 02:05:46,960 colorful 4048 02:05:53,750 --> 02:05:51,360 cereal boxes and twinkies yeah coca-cola 4049 02:05:54,870 --> 02:05:53,760 like burst into tears because it was so 4050 02:05:57,910 --> 02:05:54,880 glorious and like 4051 02:05:59,830 --> 02:05:57,920 his poor poor russian soviet people 4052 02:06:01,589 --> 02:05:59,840 just have to eat i don't know organic 4053 02:06:02,069 --> 02:06:01,599 food in jars that isn't poison that's so 4054 02:06:03,589 --> 02:06:02,079 terrible 4055 02:06:06,149 --> 02:06:03,599 right you know or blah blah blah bread 4056 02:06:08,149 --> 02:06:06,159 lines etc but you know that was like his 4057 02:06:10,069 --> 02:06:08,159 story of like oh i just realized the 4058 02:06:10,550 --> 02:06:10,079 abundance of american capitalism and 4059 02:06:12,629 --> 02:06:10,560 wanted 4060 02:06:13,669 --> 02:06:12,639 and then i was resolved to like go back 4061 02:06:16,629 --> 02:06:13,679 and like bring 4062 02:06:17,990 --> 02:06:16,639 capitalism back to russia you know and 4063 02:06:20,310 --> 02:06:18,000 so there's that but then you know he 4064 02:06:22,229 --> 02:06:20,320 went on a whole tour and i'm pretty sure 4065 02:06:24,069 --> 02:06:22,239 he stopped at esslen where they got 4066 02:06:24,870 --> 02:06:24,079 those those hot spring tubs and 4067 02:06:27,109 --> 02:06:24,880 everything 4068 02:06:28,709 --> 02:06:27,119 and it could have been at any point on 4069 02:06:30,310 --> 02:06:28,719 that trip where somebody 4070 02:06:32,310 --> 02:06:30,320 could have either slipped him something 4071 02:06:33,510 --> 02:06:32,320 or you know i mean that guy was already 4072 02:06:35,350 --> 02:06:33,520 a pretty big alcoholic 4073 02:06:37,109 --> 02:06:35,360 so you know just drop something in his 4074 02:06:39,109 --> 02:06:37,119 vodka and 4075 02:06:40,470 --> 02:06:39,119 boom there you go so i don't we don't 4076 02:06:44,390 --> 02:06:40,480 know what could have i mean he 4077 02:06:46,229 --> 02:06:44,400 like as a kind of bumbling alcoholic uh 4078 02:06:48,310 --> 02:06:46,239 piece of [\h__\h] that he was he was 4079 02:06:49,669 --> 02:06:48,320 probably relatively easy to manipulate 4080 02:06:51,189 --> 02:06:49,679 or something but at the same time i 4081 02:06:52,790 --> 02:06:51,199 think gorbachev actually is a more 4082 02:06:55,430 --> 02:06:52,800 interesting case because i feel like 4083 02:06:56,069 --> 02:06:55,440 up to a point gorbachev really believed 4084 02:06:59,589 --> 02:06:56,079 in 4085 02:07:00,390 --> 02:06:59,599 and perestroika like he did consider 4086 02:07:02,709 --> 02:07:00,400 himself 4087 02:07:03,510 --> 02:07:02,719 a good socialist or a communist but he 4088 02:07:05,990 --> 02:07:03,520 just he 4089 02:07:06,709 --> 02:07:06,000 felt that it had to be reformed and blah 4090 02:07:08,390 --> 02:07:06,719 blah blah 4091 02:07:10,790 --> 02:07:08,400 and you know he had to do a dangerous 4092 02:07:11,669 --> 02:07:10,800 turn basically and and also save the 4093 02:07:15,189 --> 02:07:11,679 world from 4094 02:07:17,270 --> 02:07:15,199 i think he was very mindful and afraid 4095 02:07:18,310 --> 02:07:17,280 of like nuclear annihilation and that 4096 02:07:20,069 --> 02:07:18,320 that stuff which again 4097 02:07:22,390 --> 02:07:20,079 was a psyop that was deliberately 4098 02:07:24,390 --> 02:07:22,400 fostered by the reagan administration 4099 02:07:25,990 --> 02:07:24,400 so i think there was a lot like you know 4100 02:07:29,350 --> 02:07:26,000 of factors like that 4101 02:07:31,109 --> 02:07:29,360 going in but you know i i would i 4102 02:07:33,109 --> 02:07:31,119 i'd like i have to dig deeper into that 4103 02:07:36,709 --> 02:07:33,119 yeah i don't know i don't know if gorby 4104 02:07:37,669 --> 02:07:36,719 himself visited sln but if he did like 4105 02:07:38,629 --> 02:07:37,679 well if you think about it like that's 4106 02:07:39,990 --> 02:07:38,639 what this human potential movement i 4107 02:07:41,189 --> 02:07:40,000 mean if you read changing images of man 4108 02:07:43,189 --> 02:07:41,199 like they're obsessed with it like they 4109 02:07:44,790 --> 02:07:43,199 really truly genuinely believe 4110 02:07:46,149 --> 02:07:44,800 and like especially like if you go back 4111 02:07:47,910 --> 02:07:46,159 and like make the mk ultra connection 4112 02:07:49,589 --> 02:07:47,920 like they believe in using psychedelics 4113 02:07:51,350 --> 02:07:49,599 to like change people's perceptions and 4114 02:07:53,669 --> 02:07:51,360 like save the world from 4115 02:07:54,870 --> 02:07:53,679 you know disaster like they definitely 4116 02:07:55,189 --> 02:07:54,880 yeah i agree with you definitely at 4117 02:07:57,510 --> 02:07:55,199 least 4118 02:07:58,870 --> 02:07:57,520 yeltsin like that rumor i i definitely 4119 02:08:00,790 --> 02:07:58,880 believe it like i don't know if gorby 4120 02:08:01,270 --> 02:08:00,800 like on the books went to sln but like 4121 02:08:05,030 --> 02:08:01,280 every 4122 02:08:07,030 --> 02:08:05,040 went there like for sure 4123 02:08:08,870 --> 02:08:07,040 yeah yeah because i mean what they did 4124 02:08:10,870 --> 02:08:08,880 is they they somehow like it ended up 4125 02:08:12,390 --> 02:08:10,880 being a kind of coup from the inside 4126 02:08:14,950 --> 02:08:12,400 where the ideological 4127 02:08:16,310 --> 02:08:14,960 they're like hot diplomacy at the time 4128 02:08:17,350 --> 02:08:16,320 they would always tout it yeah because 4129 02:08:18,870 --> 02:08:17,360 they yeah exactly 4130 02:08:20,629 --> 02:08:18,880 so you know it could have been they sat 4131 02:08:22,790 --> 02:08:20,639 in the hot tub and said look boris 4132 02:08:24,069 --> 02:08:22,800 we think that you are just the person 4133 02:08:26,390 --> 02:08:24,079 that russia needs but 4134 02:08:27,750 --> 02:08:26,400 you know you need to go back and do this 4135 02:08:29,830 --> 02:08:27,760 for us and we'll make you president of 4136 02:08:31,350 --> 02:08:29,840 russia or something like that i mean 4137 02:08:33,350 --> 02:08:31,360 i know somebody was slipping in the late 4138 02:08:33,910 --> 02:08:33,360 80s like maybe the kgb was slipping 4139 02:08:35,430 --> 02:08:33,920 because 4140 02:08:37,430 --> 02:08:35,440 you know how do you let this guy like 4141 02:08:38,229 --> 02:08:37,440 run around with eson in america and then 4142 02:08:40,149 --> 02:08:38,239 come back and 4143 02:08:41,669 --> 02:08:40,159 obviously be somebody who's trying to 4144 02:08:42,790 --> 02:08:41,679 undermine the socialist system that 4145 02:08:44,870 --> 02:08:42,800 people voted to 4146 02:08:46,709 --> 02:08:44,880 maintain and then does it anyways and 4147 02:08:47,910 --> 02:08:46,719 like nobody gets him like i don't know 4148 02:08:50,709 --> 02:08:47,920 it's it's very 4149 02:08:51,669 --> 02:08:50,719 kind of weird let me throw out a little 4150 02:08:53,189 --> 02:08:51,679 bit of time we have left 4151 02:08:54,950 --> 02:08:53,199 we keep going over but i can't stop 4152 02:08:56,550 --> 02:08:54,960 talking to you guys let me throw out one 4153 02:08:58,950 --> 02:08:56,560 other little trail that i've run across 4154 02:09:00,149 --> 02:08:58,960 that will directly maybe will you'll 4155 02:09:01,430 --> 02:09:00,159 you'll have to track it down and see 4156 02:09:04,310 --> 02:09:01,440 what you think 4157 02:09:05,430 --> 02:09:04,320 grant cameron is a ufo researcher and 4158 02:09:08,229 --> 02:09:05,440 he's from canada 4159 02:09:09,990 --> 02:09:08,239 and then the late great dan friendman is 4160 02:09:13,430 --> 02:09:10,000 another guy who was 4161 02:09:15,750 --> 02:09:13,440 kind of pretty pretty well 4162 02:09:16,629 --> 02:09:15,760 renowned as being a ufo investigator who 4163 02:09:18,470 --> 02:09:16,639 was legit 4164 02:09:19,750 --> 02:09:18,480 and you know did really good solid work 4165 02:09:23,750 --> 02:09:19,760 well between them 4166 02:09:24,149 --> 02:09:23,760 they managed to pry loose a foia request 4167 02:09:26,550 --> 02:09:24,159 and that's 4168 02:09:27,990 --> 02:09:26,560 something called something differently 4169 02:09:30,310 --> 02:09:28,000 called in canada 4170 02:09:33,270 --> 02:09:30,320 but the wilbert smith memo have you ever 4171 02:09:37,270 --> 02:09:33,280 heard of that yeah i think so 4172 02:09:40,310 --> 02:09:37,280 so wilbert smith was the guy in canada 4173 02:09:43,270 --> 02:09:40,320 at the strange desk in canada for 4174 02:09:45,510 --> 02:09:43,280 all aerial phenomena so he's getting 4175 02:09:45,990 --> 02:09:45,520 these ufo reports and finally he goes to 4176 02:09:48,149 --> 02:09:46,000 this 4177 02:09:49,189 --> 02:09:48,159 his bosses of bosses and says what are 4178 02:09:51,109 --> 02:09:49,199 we going to do and they go 4179 02:09:52,870 --> 02:09:51,119 right go down there go down to the 4180 02:09:54,790 --> 02:09:52,880 states see what's going on 4181 02:09:56,550 --> 02:09:54,800 he goes down he meets with vandevar bush 4182 02:09:58,629 --> 02:09:56,560 he meets with all the people 4183 02:10:00,069 --> 02:09:58,639 that that he says in this memo that he 4184 02:10:03,189 --> 02:10:00,079 writes when he comes back 4185 02:10:03,990 --> 02:10:03,199 that you would only we only know later 4186 02:10:06,390 --> 02:10:04,000 that these are 4187 02:10:07,910 --> 02:10:06,400 the people these are the majestic 12 if 4188 02:10:09,350 --> 02:10:07,920 you believe in majestic 12 and i think 4189 02:10:11,669 --> 02:10:09,360 there's a kernel of truth there 4190 02:10:13,910 --> 02:10:11,679 but this and again this memo is only 4191 02:10:15,510 --> 02:10:13,920 released accidentally 4192 02:10:17,270 --> 02:10:15,520 and it does look like it truly was 4193 02:10:17,589 --> 02:10:17,280 released accidentally unlike the phony 4194 02:10:21,189 --> 02:10:17,599 ones 4195 02:10:23,830 --> 02:10:21,199 accidentally 4196 02:10:24,950 --> 02:10:23,840 but the memo says this the memo says 4197 02:10:28,149 --> 02:10:24,960 this says 4198 02:10:31,030 --> 02:10:28,159 yes ufos are real it is the 4199 02:10:32,069 --> 02:10:31,040 at the highest level of security inside 4200 02:10:34,310 --> 02:10:32,079 the united states 4201 02:10:35,350 --> 02:10:34,320 higher than the hydrogen bomb but here's 4202 02:10:37,030 --> 02:10:35,360 the point 4203 02:10:38,790 --> 02:10:37,040 that cameron grant cameron you got to 4204 02:10:41,750 --> 02:10:38,800 give him credit for picking out 4205 02:10:42,709 --> 02:10:41,760 in the last line of it it says they 4206 02:10:45,950 --> 02:10:42,719 believe 4207 02:10:48,709 --> 02:10:45,960 that there is a mental phenomenon 4208 02:10:50,069 --> 02:10:48,719 associated with this and they are 4209 02:10:54,470 --> 02:10:50,079 exploring that 4210 02:10:57,430 --> 02:10:54,480 and what he connects that to is mk ultra 4211 02:10:59,589 --> 02:10:57,440 so and it doesn't like we're saying it's 4212 02:11:01,910 --> 02:10:59,599 not an either or thing it's not like 4213 02:11:03,030 --> 02:11:01,920 spy on the russians get the you know or 4214 02:11:06,229 --> 02:11:03,040 they're spying on us 4215 02:11:08,310 --> 02:11:06,239 do it before they do but it's also that 4216 02:11:10,950 --> 02:11:08,320 e.t is in this other realm where 4217 02:11:13,350 --> 02:11:10,960 telepathy is the mode of communication 4218 02:11:14,790 --> 02:11:13,360 we don't know [\h__\h] about telepathy we 4219 02:11:18,310 --> 02:11:14,800 better start 4220 02:11:19,750 --> 02:11:18,320 getting up to speed on some of these 4221 02:11:22,790 --> 02:11:19,760 extended mental realms 4222 02:11:23,189 --> 02:11:22,800 and it just yeah it looks worth pursuing 4223 02:11:25,589 --> 02:11:23,199 to me 4224 02:11:26,550 --> 02:11:25,599 well it does actually that reminds me 4225 02:11:28,629 --> 02:11:26,560 like my 4226 02:11:30,709 --> 02:11:28,639 i think the take i lean towards most 4227 02:11:33,270 --> 02:11:30,719 with that kind of stuff about 4228 02:11:35,189 --> 02:11:33,280 you know was remote viewing a cover for 4229 02:11:35,589 --> 02:11:35,199 like internet technology being created 4230 02:11:38,550 --> 02:11:35,599 is 4231 02:11:38,950 --> 02:11:38,560 i kind of lean more towards both and of 4232 02:11:40,069 --> 02:11:38,960 because 4233 02:11:41,350 --> 02:11:40,079 i don't know from everything i've read 4234 02:11:42,229 --> 02:11:41,360 about all this parapsychological 4235 02:11:44,390 --> 02:11:42,239 phenomenon 4236 02:11:45,270 --> 02:11:44,400 like two things jump out one is that 4237 02:11:47,990 --> 02:11:45,280 there seems to be 4238 02:11:49,990 --> 02:11:48,000 a demonstrable kind of effect like i it 4239 02:11:52,310 --> 02:11:50,000 does seem like there is something 4240 02:11:53,589 --> 02:11:52,320 like some people have a certain kind of 4241 02:11:55,990 --> 02:11:53,599 enhanced ability 4242 02:11:56,790 --> 02:11:56,000 at the same time it seems to be pretty 4243 02:11:59,189 --> 02:11:56,800 clear 4244 02:12:00,390 --> 02:11:59,199 that it's very difficult to like 4245 02:12:03,030 --> 02:12:00,400 programmatize 4246 02:12:04,629 --> 02:12:03,040 and system and standardize it and also 4247 02:12:07,910 --> 02:12:04,639 like mass produce it 4248 02:12:09,589 --> 02:12:07,920 in a way that you can privatize it and 4249 02:12:10,950 --> 02:12:09,599 integrate it into like our corporate 4250 02:12:12,550 --> 02:12:10,960 economy and 4251 02:12:14,709 --> 02:12:12,560 roll it out to everybody and use it to 4252 02:12:16,629 --> 02:12:14,719 control everybody because it's too 4253 02:12:17,830 --> 02:12:16,639 not well understood enough yet so 4254 02:12:19,350 --> 02:12:17,840 basically it's like they were kind of 4255 02:12:21,830 --> 02:12:19,360 pursuing these two tracks 4256 02:12:22,790 --> 02:12:21,840 and maybe they had to build the internet 4257 02:12:24,229 --> 02:12:22,800 because 4258 02:12:26,390 --> 02:12:24,239 it it's kind of like that thing with 4259 02:12:27,430 --> 02:12:26,400 tesla how tesla invented like wireless 4260 02:12:29,189 --> 02:12:27,440 energy and then 4261 02:12:30,790 --> 02:12:29,199 you know jp morgan was like well i can't 4262 02:12:31,830 --> 02:12:30,800 meet her for this like that sucks i'm 4263 02:12:33,189 --> 02:12:31,840 gonna go with edison 4264 02:12:34,629 --> 02:12:33,199 it's kind of like that it's like well 4265 02:12:36,069 --> 02:12:34,639 you couldn't fully control if we just 4266 02:12:36,709 --> 02:12:36,079 started opening like remote viewing 4267 02:12:38,069 --> 02:12:36,719 schools 4268 02:12:40,310 --> 02:12:38,079 and like teaching people how to 4269 02:12:41,350 --> 02:12:40,320 cultivate their psychic abilities or 4270 02:12:42,950 --> 02:12:41,360 something like that 4271 02:12:44,470 --> 02:12:42,960 well where's the money in controlling 4272 02:12:46,390 --> 02:12:44,480 that you know instead 4273 02:12:48,069 --> 02:12:46,400 let's put these satellites up and then 4274 02:12:49,669 --> 02:12:48,079 convince everybody to buy this phone 4275 02:12:52,069 --> 02:12:49,679 and get people in sweatshops to make the 4276 02:12:53,910 --> 02:12:52,079 phone and use child slaves in africa to 4277 02:12:54,629 --> 02:12:53,920 mine the minerals for it and then put it 4278 02:12:57,750 --> 02:12:54,639 all together 4279 02:12:59,350 --> 02:12:57,760 and then blast psyops at you 24 7 and 4280 02:13:01,589 --> 02:12:59,360 like you know basically create a little 4281 02:13:03,510 --> 02:13:01,599 cathexis device that addicts you 4282 02:13:04,790 --> 02:13:03,520 and then we can and then we can get our 4283 02:13:06,069 --> 02:13:04,800 closet them real good 4284 02:13:08,310 --> 02:13:06,079 and then you know they probably won't 4285 02:13:10,790 --> 02:13:08,320 even and then we can still pursue 4286 02:13:12,310 --> 02:13:10,800 our parapsychological stuff and and i'm 4287 02:13:14,229 --> 02:13:12,320 sure somebody is still 4288 02:13:15,669 --> 02:13:14,239 trying to figure out kind of how to 4289 02:13:18,550 --> 02:13:15,679 reliably do it 4290 02:13:20,390 --> 02:13:18,560 in a way where you know anybody with the 4291 02:13:22,709 --> 02:13:20,400 the money or the access 4292 02:13:24,310 --> 02:13:22,719 could you know pick up a skill or but 4293 02:13:26,069 --> 02:13:24,320 maybe not maybe it doesn't work that way 4294 02:13:27,189 --> 02:13:26,079 maybe some people have it some people 4295 02:13:29,350 --> 02:13:27,199 don't like we 4296 02:13:30,470 --> 02:13:29,360 we don't really know so yeah this has 4297 02:13:31,910 --> 02:13:30,480 always been a thing where 4298 02:13:33,910 --> 02:13:31,920 there's a certain sense of its 4299 02:13:36,149 --> 02:13:33,920 unreliability i think that you know the 4300 02:13:37,270 --> 02:13:36,159 to try to use i think that's spiritual 4301 02:13:37,750 --> 02:13:37,280 powers like in the way they've been 4302 02:13:39,430 --> 02:13:37,760 discussed 4303 02:13:41,189 --> 02:13:39,440 like traditionally you know yeah it's 4304 02:13:43,589 --> 02:13:41,199 very difficult to use these for 4305 02:13:44,790 --> 02:13:43,599 uh cynical or selfish motives but i do 4306 02:13:46,390 --> 02:13:44,800 think that you know not to go completely 4307 02:13:49,189 --> 02:13:46,400 down the both end rabbit hole but 4308 02:13:50,709 --> 02:13:49,199 part of what you're saying is i think or 4309 02:13:51,109 --> 02:13:50,719 uh to speak to what you're saying in 4310 02:13:53,350 --> 02:13:51,119 part 4311 02:13:54,310 --> 02:13:53,360 is that i think there isn't necessarily 4312 02:13:56,069 --> 02:13:54,320 a divide between these 4313 02:13:58,069 --> 02:13:56,079 things because like again as we all 4314 02:14:00,629 --> 02:13:58,079 talked about on the show some of 4315 02:14:02,870 --> 02:14:00,639 the like technologies like that we use 4316 02:14:04,069 --> 02:14:02,880 now like really have like an archaeology 4317 02:14:06,790 --> 02:14:04,079 or a history to them 4318 02:14:08,950 --> 02:14:06,800 that is connected to like these occult 4319 02:14:10,870 --> 02:14:08,960 practices like the scrying glass 4320 02:14:13,189 --> 02:14:10,880 you know the black the obsidian black 4321 02:14:15,589 --> 02:14:13,199 mirror and the black mirror of the 4322 02:14:16,950 --> 02:14:15,599 a computer screen you know i think you 4323 02:14:18,390 --> 02:14:16,960 know and people who 4324 02:14:20,790 --> 02:14:18,400 talk about psionics like they will 4325 02:14:24,069 --> 02:14:20,800 always talk about the interaction 4326 02:14:25,350 --> 02:14:24,079 or you know maybe the the discord or the 4327 02:14:27,189 --> 02:14:25,360 the tension between 4328 02:14:28,870 --> 02:14:27,199 the internet and you know of course 4329 02:14:30,069 --> 02:14:28,880 you're like 5g and stuff like that you 4330 02:14:32,790 --> 02:14:30,079 know so it's something that 4331 02:14:33,990 --> 02:14:32,800 is real in that sphere as well so i i 4332 02:14:35,270 --> 02:14:34,000 don't necessarily think yeah i 4333 02:14:36,390 --> 02:14:35,280 definitely think that there is something 4334 02:14:38,790 --> 02:14:36,400 to what you're saying where the 4335 02:14:39,990 --> 02:14:38,800 operational goals weren't mutable just 4336 02:14:41,910 --> 02:14:40,000 in that domain and the internet 4337 02:14:43,990 --> 02:14:41,920 developed to reach them but there really 4338 02:14:45,589 --> 02:14:44,000 is a lot of time a crossover between 4339 02:14:47,510 --> 02:14:45,599 those two areas of inquiry 4340 02:14:49,109 --> 02:14:47,520 you know and neuralink is the ultimate 4341 02:14:51,270 --> 02:14:49,119 example i guess of that yeah 4342 02:14:52,870 --> 02:14:51,280 and you know maybe that's the dream well 4343 02:14:53,990 --> 02:14:52,880 yeah ufo's actually a great example 4344 02:14:55,750 --> 02:14:54,000 because the two themes that you 4345 02:14:57,430 --> 02:14:55,760 see like yeah like like alex mentioned 4346 02:14:59,990 --> 02:14:57,440 the two themes are 4347 02:15:01,510 --> 02:15:00,000 the mk ultra sort of mental phenomena 4348 02:15:03,589 --> 02:15:01,520 connection and the other one is metals 4349 02:15:04,069 --> 02:15:03,599 and and geomagnetics or whatever you 4350 02:15:05,830 --> 02:15:04,079 know like 4351 02:15:07,270 --> 02:15:05,840 the mystery metals like those are the 4352 02:15:09,189 --> 02:15:07,280 two things that 4353 02:15:10,629 --> 02:15:09,199 always come up and are the the the 4354 02:15:12,229 --> 02:15:10,639 perennial obsessions 4355 02:15:13,830 --> 02:15:12,239 of this up to today but to the star 4356 02:15:14,629 --> 02:15:13,840 stuff of like the we have these 4357 02:15:16,629 --> 02:15:14,639 compounds 4358 02:15:17,830 --> 02:15:16,639 you know that will be of great use you 4359 02:15:20,310 --> 02:15:17,840 know or whatever like 4360 02:15:22,149 --> 02:15:20,320 in our partnership free energy yeah yeah 4361 02:15:23,510 --> 02:15:22,159 they sold it to the army or something 4362 02:15:25,189 --> 02:15:23,520 yeah exactly they made like a 4363 02:15:27,189 --> 02:15:25,199 partnership yeah they're like 4364 02:15:29,189 --> 02:15:27,199 yeah what like what are these medals 4365 02:15:32,149 --> 02:15:29,199 like tell me you know so 4366 02:15:33,109 --> 02:15:32,159 i don't know yeah yeah yeah well you 4367 02:15:35,510 --> 02:15:33,119 guys this has been 4368 02:15:36,870 --> 02:15:35,520 great and we just have to end it at some 4369 02:15:39,510 --> 02:15:36,880 point or we could go on 4370 02:15:40,950 --> 02:15:39,520 forever no you probably always encounter 4371 02:15:43,350 --> 02:15:40,960 yeah 4372

4408 02:16:59,750 --> 02:16:58,319 we just had an episode on patreon a kind 4409 02:17:01,509 --> 02:16:59,760 of q a on update 4410 02:17:03,429 --> 02:17:01,519 where we talked a lot about this like q 4411 02:17:05,429 --> 02:17:03,439 researcher dave troy 4412 02:17:06,629 --> 02:17:05,439 and if you want a spicy little nugget to 4413 02:17:09,349 --> 02:17:06,639 leave you with because this 4414 02:17:10,629 --> 02:17:09,359 this stitches uh everything together he 4415 02:17:14,070 --> 02:17:10,639 happened to mention 4416 02:17:16,389 --> 02:17:14,080 that his father went to colombia 4417 02:17:17,750 --> 02:17:16,399 and was selected as a part of a um 4418 02:17:20,950 --> 02:17:17,760 gifted child 4419 02:17:23,349 --> 02:17:20,960 program no and his mentor you know who 4420 02:17:26,389 --> 02:17:23,359 his mentor was 4421 02:17:31,270 --> 02:17:26,399 donald barr former attorney general 4422 02:17:34,629 --> 02:17:32,950 yes he was also a cia agent who 4423 02:17:35,669 --> 02:17:34,639 according to terry reid traffic cocaine 4424 02:17:38,070 --> 02:17:35,679 out of meena arkansas 4425 02:17:38,790 --> 02:17:38,080 he got jeffrey epstein yeah no he got 4426 02:17:40,709 --> 02:17:38,800 jeffrey 4427 02:17:43,349 --> 02:17:40,719 so okay that's the closest we've gotten 4428 02:17:46,549 --> 02:17:43,359 so far to proving that maybe 4429 02:17:48,230 --> 02:17:46,559 donald barr bill barr's dad was running 4430 02:17:49,750 --> 02:17:48,240 and he was he was running a program for 4431 02:17:51,589 --> 02:17:49,760 like gifted columbia 4432 02:17:52,950 --> 02:17:51,599 students in like physics and science and 4433 02:17:55,030 --> 02:17:52,960 stuff like that and that's where 4434 02:17:55,990 --> 02:17:55,040 this dude dave troy's dad he said he was 4435 02:17:57,589 --> 02:17:56,000 his mentor 4436 02:17:58,950 --> 02:17:57,599 you know and so that i mean he was a 4437 02:17:59,589 --> 02:17:58,960 little older at that point but
