Programmed to Chill

(Unlocked from Patreon, part 1 of 2) Today I go through the first half of the story of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. I cover their early lives, careers in the US Marines, their relationships and ties to crime networks, their thoughts and motivations leading up to their crime spree.  Episode 1 Songs: Mendocino by the Sir Douglas Quintet Christine’s Song by the Flying Burrito Brothers Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival cover) - Satin Puppets and Nxghtshade Links: https://www.patreon.com/ProgrammedToChill https://programmed-to-chill.myshopify.com/

Today I'm joined by the journalist and author Douglas Valentine (@DouglasValentine77) to discuss his new book, Pisces Moon: the Dark Arts of Empire. The book provides perspective on his life's work exposing the misdeeds of America's intelligence community. Along the way, he also shares his thoughts on current events, spirituality, and answers crucial questions about his career.

(Unlocked from Patreon) In this episode, I go through the life of Richard Ramirez, starting with his parents. I discuss Ramirez' early life, and how it was the perfect storm to create a killer.  Every factor you can think of played a role. We're talking about radiation, chemicals, crime, child abuse, head trauma, Satanism, drugs, porn, the supernatural, and of course you can't discuss Richard Ramirez without covering his Green Beret cousin and his snuff material. I cover some of his crimes and go through various anomalous aspects to his crime spree and trial, including sus ass Sean Penn  Ultimately, we're faced some serious implications.

(Unlocked from Patreon) Today I'm joined with Esalen Professor Emeritus (@PastichePsyop) for part 2 of our conversation about esoteric Santa Cruz. We continue to talk about Domhoff, the Christ Circle, Bohemian Grove, the beatniks, troubled teen rehabs, Synanon, Arthur Hempel, communes, data mapping of dog mutilation incidents, nudist colonies, and Ed Kemper. Even Thomas Pynchon. It's a great episode. Songs: Sunday Lunch by Carpenter Brut Turbo Killer by Carpenter Brut Paradise Warfare by Carpenter Brut

(Unlocked from Patreon) This week I'm joined by Pastiche Psyop (@pastichepsyop) to discuss Santa Cruz, the University of Santa Cruz and its very curious psychology department, Thomas Sarbin, Craig Haney, David Marlowe, Frank X Barron, Bert Kaplan, G. William Domhoff, the entirely unrelated Santa Cruz serial killer boom, Ed Kemper, Herb Mullin, especially John Linley Frazier,  and a wide range of very curious topics. It's extremely good.

(episode unlocked from Patreon; it was also from 2021 so keep that in mind as my podcast and my research into this topic have both progressed since then) Today's all about Wayne Williams, perhaps one of the most interesting figures I've ever looked at. I talk about the atypical ATKID investigation, Williams' early life, the Phenix City connection to nearby Fort Benning, the porn connection, the infamous Soledad O'Brien interview, Mitch WerBell III, and the occult connection. The implications are very, very dark. Songs: portions of the Beyond the Black Rainbow soundtrack Paegan Love Song by Acid Bath

(episode unlocked from Patreon; it was also from 2021 so keep that in mind as my podcast and my research into this topic have both progressed since then) Full disclosure: this one might be rough because we're talking about child murder here. Don't mess around with your mental health; you can always listen to it later when you're in a better headspace. That said, today I'm talking about one of the many unacknowledged (by Agent Douglas) predecessors to the FBI's Behavior Science Unit - Dr. Lunde, a forensic psychiatrist to the criminally insane. He worked with Ed Kemper, John Lindley Frazier, Herb Mullin, the Hollywood Strangler, the Girl in the Box case, Dan White, Jonestown, Patty Hearst, Howard Hughes; all things you'd think Agent Douglas might mention right?  After that, I get into the Atlanta Child Murders as presented by Agent Douglas, introduce Wayne Williams, and then deconstruct some of the myths around the murders as per Programmed to Kill and The List. It's really intense. Next week is the deep dive on Wayne Williams. Trust me; it's gonna be nuts.

(episode unlocked from Patreon due to the increased popularity and skepticism of Programmed to Kill) Today, I look at the concept of serial killers as laid out by the FBI, specifically in Agent John E. Douglas's book 'Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit' and Netflix series, and then I compare it to Dave McGowan's 'Programmed to Kill: the Politics of Serial Murder'. I talk about the history of the concept, specifically the FBI's revisionism in pretending they invented the study of serial killers. Then I go into Ed Kemper (and to a lesser degree Herb Mullin) as depicted in the book and show, and the very interesting facts that get curiously left out of these popular histories. Full warning: it gets pretty weird, as we get into 'behavioral modification' experiments at Atascadero and Vacaville, and if Vacaville comes up, you know the Symbionese Liberation Army will as well.

Today I'm joined by the journalist Nick Bryant (@Nick__Bryant) to discuss new developments in the Johnny Gosch case and to compare and contrast the Franklin and Epstein cases. Most importantly, we discuss Epstein Justice, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which is dedicated to obtaining justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and obtaining prosecutions for the perpetrators.

(unlocked from Patreon premium feed) (episode 1 of 2) I couldn't help myself; not long after Monty and I did our four-part series on Freemasonry, I came into more information about the Jesters which in some ways unlocked the gates of hell. Content warning for child abuse. Monty and I discuss the disappearance of Johnny Gosch, a paperboy from West Des Moines, Iowa back in 1982, including the Jester connections. We talk about the case history. We also talk about the mayor George Mills and the police chief Orval Cooney (both Jesters), and Monty walks us through the Des Moines Register as a nexus for fascism and pedophilia. I explain the curious connection of the Gab Line and the phone company. Monty explains the appearance of Sam Soda as well as Noreen Gosch's claims, and we return to Mills and Cooney. We try to make sense of Gunderson's and Bonacci's claims. All of this led us inexorably back to Omaha. episode art by Dakota (@DEEP_RED_BELLS) Songs: [515] and People = Shit by Slipknot Gently by Slipknot New Abortion by Slipknot Links: https://twitter.com/MontyBaby7 https://cavdef.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page Merch: https://www.patreon.com/ProgrammedToChill https://programmed-to-chill.myshopify.com/
