Programmed to Chill

[originally published on Patreon May 3, 2022] Today I knock out nine Q&A questions. Pretty soon I'll catch up, honestly, then I'll solicit some more. Thanks, everyone, for asking great questions. Songs: I Remember by MDC Sorcery & Sabotage by Church of the Cosmic Skull

[originally published on Patreon Apr 19, 2022; show art was the incredible Anti-Gnostic Action artwork by Dakota which was also sold as t-shirts, stickers, etc.] I'm joined by Monty again to finish our conversation on the Knights Templar. Monty wraps up the history and we get into the nutty stuff; their post-breakup solo work, as it were. We discuss gnosticism, why everyone wants to be a Templar, Freemasonry, occultic traditions, and how perhaps the entire understanding of the order was a form of fan fiction. Then, we end the episode with some of the weirder, stranger connections to the Knights Templar in modern times. art by the harmless individual known as Dakota Songs: Templar’s Revenge by Death SS Knights of the Cross by Grave Digger

[originally published on Patreon Apr 13, 2022] Today I'm joined by my buddy Monty to discuss the Knights Templar. Monty walks us through the history we know, the history we think we know, and the different categories of theories about what the Templars were all about.  Today we cover the history, next week we cover the theories about what it all meant.

[originally published on Patreon Apr 5, 2022; Ellroy Boys is now defunct but Apocalypse Confidential is thriving] Second entry into the Paranoiac Films series, and I'm joined by Blauer (@blauer_geist) of Ellroy Boys and Apocalypse Confidential to discuss the other JFK assassination film, Executive Action (1973). As always, we discuss some of the finer points of the film and weigh the pros and cons of the film on its own. Then we compare and contrast it to Oliver Stone's JFK.  We discuss the source material, the director, screenwriter, and actors involved, and then talk about Executive Actions, or whacks, as they're also known. Along the way we discuss how we both got into JFK conspiracy culture.

[originally published on Feb 28, 2022] Today I'm joined by Matt Farwell (@HuntClancy), author of American Cipher: Bowe Bergdahl and the U.S. Tragedy in Afghanistan, and the Hunt for Tom Clancy substack, to discuss all kinds of things: gardening, his wild life, Michael Hastings, "fringe information networks", and especially Tom Clancy, "the Rosetta stone...for understanding and interpreting the mad trajectory of America in the late cold war and through the war on terror". We talk about Clancy's ties to the national security state, COG (continuity of government), the Institute for Creative Technologies, all kinds of noided topics. See the links below to find his work.

[originally published on Patreon Feb 16, 2022] Today's a fun one, I'm joined by Stephen Snider aka Recluse of the VISUP blog and the Farm podcast. I pick his brain on William Stephenson and the British Security Coordination for about an hour. We talk honeypots, intelligence, the Beatles and Britpop, the informal British intelligence network in the US before WWII, the networks afterwards like BACC/WCC, and so on. Then we get into Le Cercle and how it plugs into Gladio, the Profumo Affair, and how Epstein's operation ties into these broader orgs.

Boyd Beaver joins to discuss Alexander Guterma's connections to organized crime. Topics include Hoover's alleged sexual repression, government attacks on Purple gang, Guterma's deals with Trujillo, tax evasion, Howard Hughes connection, Lansky's tunnels, and speculations on Guterma's death. The podcast explores how everything is a front for something and how Guterma is a key to understanding a complex network of connections.

Expert Boyd Beaver and host dissect Alexander Guterma's business ties, RFK's war on IG Farben, mafia conflicts, political blackmail rings, Resorts International, diamond mining, and more. Touches on Howard Hughes, drug trafficking, and Roswell connections.

[originally published on Patreon Jan 12, 2022; for the retarded theory that Guterma was a tulpa, see Penny Royal's episodes instead] Part 1 of 3: Today I'm joined by a very special guest, Boyd Beaver (@Boyd_Beaver) to discuss one of the weirdest figures in modern history, Alexander Guterma, who was a con man, businessman, figure involved in organized crime, and intelligence asset. We discuss Isaiah Leebove, Sam Garfield, and the Purple Gang before Boyd establishes (conclusively, in my opinion) Guterma's origins as a Russian Jew whose family resettled in Manchuria. Then, we talk about Guterma's misadventures in China, Hawaii, and the Philippines before Guterma's eventual arrival in Florida. We discuss the nature of collaboration with the Japanese, his contacts with intelligence, and why this would be significant. Guterma resettled to Florida, and we discuss kenaf at length, and then the long and surprising list of companies he managed to acquire, including the spooked up Hal Roach film studio, and a radio network. All of this leads us to hypothesize that the economy is simply not real. Songs (largely curated by Boyd Beaver):

[originally published on Patreon Today I go through the life and times of Immanuel Velikovsky, one of the most interesting figures in recent times. I discuss the importance of Freud to Velikovsky's works, and the main themes of Worlds in Collision. I discuss Einstein's relationship to Velikovsky, and Velikovsky's network of followers. While this is probably not the final word on Velikovsky, I think I come to a pretty grounded explanation of how and why the Velikovsky affair got so out of hand, and why Catastrophists and New Chronologists all seem to be spooks and occultists.
