The Farm Podcast Mach II
Recluse
Explore culture, parapolitics and high weirdness with Recluse, the longtime curator of the legendary VISUP blog (visupview.blogspot.com). After cutting his teeth in the synchro-mystical movement, Recluse developed a novel approach to parapolitics that emphasizes both hard research with a reluctant acceptance of Fortean (and Saturnine) currents. He is also the author of Strange Tales of the Parapolitical: Postwar Nazis, Mercenaries, and Other Secret History (along with Frank Zero, the original host of The Farm) and A Special Relationship: Trump, Epstein, and the Secret History of the Anglo-American Establishment Book I. He has a forthcoming work, due in 2022, dealing with the history of Discordianism, state-sanctioned behavioral moficification programs, and conspiracy theories. The Farm podcast produces highly quality, in-depth, weekly shows in the long form. Free, public shows are posted here every Monday while patrons to get two additional, exclusive shows on the 1st and 16th of each month. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Abe's Assassination & the Game of Thrones: A Farm Exclusive w/ Keith Allen Dennis, Fergal Schmudlach & Recluse
For this outing, we're taking the deepest dive of them all into the assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinto Abe. In recent weeks, the legacy media has broached a topic that has only been whispered about for years: the Unification Church. But Recluse, first through VISUP, and later via The Farm, has been exploring this subject for over a decade. In the process, I was greatly aided by legendary Unification defector Ed Coffman, alias Don Diligent (RIP). Using Ed/Don's "inside baseball" combined with the Japan-based Fergal insight's we offer up an account of the Unification Church and Abe's death like no other. Programmed assassins? Behavioral modification? It was always baked in this cult and now parts of this story will finally come out. Here is some additional information/background: Fore more background on the Unification Church and the World Anti-Communist League, check here: https://visupview.blogspot.com/2021/03/secret-societies-narcoterrorism.htmlFor Sean Moon's denouncement of his mother and the mainline Unification Church, check here: https://twitter.com/FallingOutPod/status/1542218093514063873?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwThe rest is here: https://twitter.com/FallingOutPod/status/1542218181317894145Sean Moon's "blessing" can be seen here: https://twitter.com/doraemon0349/status/1546817982034153472Finally, here is a transcript of the press conference given by the doctors who tried to save Abe that Fergal has translated:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WaC7GjVxjZKq3kn7RDr9kem_XndcGWZB-04_UAgRrV8/edit?usp=sharing Hosted on Acast.
