Episode notes

Vancan was writing a book based upon oswald three years before the kennedy assassination. He became a target of the garrison investigation, and ultimately kind of went off the deep end over time. At first, he denied any connection to the assassination, but overtime, you began to believe some of the theories that garrison was promoting. And as these theories kind of evolved or spiralled out of control, he believed he had been a mind subject of mind control conspiracy. But i found it all pretty fascinating. So eventually i wrote the book, the prankster and the conspiracy.

In this episode, we chat with writer and historian Adam Gorightly on the life, work and ideas of Kerry Thornley, aka Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst or simply Lord Omar, Jesse Sump, the Grand Caliph of California, and Ho Chi Zen; author of Zenarchy and The Idle Warriors; co-founder of Discordianism and co-author of the Principia Discordia.

His articles have appeared in nearly every 'zine, underground magazine, counter-cultural publication, and conspiratorial website imaginable. Bringing a mischievous sense of Prankster-Discordianism to the zany world of fringe culture, once Gorightly connects his dots, readers are plunged into alternative universes which forever alter their view of 'reality.'
