Deep dives
Explosions in Madrid and Election Results
On March 11th, 2004, a series of explosions rocked trains in Madrid, resulting in mass casualties and injuries. This tragedy occurred just a few days before the Spanish general elections. While conspiracy theories emerged suggesting different culprits, the bombings were not a false flag operation, but likely the work of a local terrorist group with potential connections to Al Qaeda. The attack significantly influenced public opinion, leading to a shift in voting preferences and a change of power in the Congress. This episode discusses the bombings and the subsequent political fallout.
Misrepresenting the Long Island Masonic Lodge Incident
Alex misrepresents a shooting incident at a Masonic Lodge initiation ceremony, suggesting a planned murder by the Masons, while conveniently omitting key details. In actuality, the incident involved a seasoned 76-year-old Mason mistakenly using his own loaded gun instead of a blank-firing one, resulting in an accidental shooting that killed an initiate. Alex twists the truth, implying a conspiracy while disregarding the more plausible explanation of human error.
Numerology and Symbolism
A caller brings up numerology and Alex discusses the alleged obsession of the government with it. He points out supposed instances of symbolism, such as the all-seeing eye on Starbucks cups, but fails to provide credible evidence for his claims. Alex's loose connection between numerology and government action lacks substantial support.
Announcement of Alex's Appearance on Coast to Coast
Alex announces his upcoming appearance on the popular late-night radio show, Coast to Coast, expressing enthusiasm about the opportunity to reach a wider audience. This appearance is seen as a career boost for him.
Passive Aggression Towards a Caller
Alex exhibits passive aggression towards a caller who interrupts him during a discussion about avoiding RFID in the body. The call showcases Alex's frustration as he dismisses the caller's concerns and redirects the conversation to unrelated subjects.
Reflection on George Noory's Role in Promoting Alex
The discussion highlights the role of radio host George Noory, who provides a platform for Alex to reach a larger audience. While Noory's show has contributed to Alex's rise to prominence, it also raises questions about the responsibility of hosts in promoting potentially harmful narratives and ideas.
Today, Dan and Jordan dip back to the past to enjoy some vintage Alex. In this installment, Alex gets real passive aggressive with a caller and covers a couple shootings at secret society initiations.
