Episode 119 | False-Flag-A-Go-Go (WIW 14)
The false flag trick started with naval warfare, but has also been used to initiate wars and to sabotage political opponents. And the conspirasphere uses the idea of the false flag, both in general and specific terms, quite often to justify certain narratives. In that regard, the two most influential are the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. on September 11, 2001. Since that latter event, nearly every major public incident has been called a false flag by someone or another.
Since today is September 11, this seems like a fitting time to look at false flags from history, because they do actually happen. Sometimes.

EPISODE 118 | Public Enemy Antifa
Much has been made about Antifa. Is it a concept, socio-political stance, or an organized group? Do they oppose oppression by any means necessary, or are they simply hooligans who want to break things? Or, as Trump and others in the Maga mirror world have suggested, are they the quasi-military arm of some insidious plot to undermine the very foundations of western society? Are they, in fact, terrorists? So, letâs trace what it is, where it comes from and who is part of it.

EPISODE 117 | Stay Awake â The Wokeness Issue
In a classic example of the weird mirror world days we are currently moving through, a term used by Black people to mean one thing has been turned by opportunists into something totally different.
So, let's look at the origin of the term "woke", how it's been used, African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), the Black Lives Matter movement, Defund the Police, and the appropriating of the word by those who see more personal profit in keeping us all divided.

EPISODE 115 | Cuckoo Coups in the U.S.
Alarmist rhetoric has been used multiple times in Americaâs past with the express intent of fomenting a rebellion or even a coup. The game is to create a sense of urgency in the hopes that enough people will commit to extreme actions, so you can get what you want (which is power).
According to Wikipedia, there have been 13 coup attempts in the United States since it won its independence from the British crown, plus an additional 29 rebellions and well, lots of moments of civil unrest. Things are not always happy and peaceful in the Land of the Free. Often because some people donât think everyone should, in fact, be free.
Here's a look at those that occurred before the 20th century.

EPISODE 114 | All Your Base Are Belong to Us â U.S. Military Installations
The United States spends more on their military than the next nine countries combined. With around 450 bases (or maybe 500 or maybe 750 or maybe 800 or even more) operating more than 111,000 installations in 80 or more countries, thereâs a lot to keep track of. In fact, no one is really sure how accurate those numbers are, since a lot of places are deemed classified or even top secret, and yes, cover stories have sometimes been deployed.
Some of the things we do know about are pretty interesting and often sad or infuriating, depending on your outlook. And yet thatâs not enough for some folks, who feel the need to fill in the gaps with long, complicated conspiracy narratives that are better suited to novels than anywhere else.

EPISODE 113 | Power Is Power: The Vulnerable Electrical Grid
Guest: Chris Underwood, author of the The Cold Winter series
Our digital age needs electricity more than anything else. But what would happen is part of the power grid went down during one of the worst winter storms in history? That's the premise of Chris Underwood's thriller series The Cold Winter. The fact is that power grid is vulnerable, and a series of low-tech in recent years have highlighted some serious problems that have still not been addressed.

EPISODE 112 | GESARA & the Red Caesar
What do proposed economic reforms, the idea of a post-constitutional American dictator and Christian Nationalism have in common? Donald Trump, for starters - at least for some people. Scammers and grifters of all stripes find common ground with would-be authoritarians in a weird confluence of conspiracy narratives that hope to create and capitalize on chaos to further their own agendas.

EPISODE 111 | Us vs. Them: Antisemitism Goes to School
Guest: Scott Shay, president of Chai Mitzvah and author of Conspiracy U
Hamas forces swept into Israel on October 7, 2023, committing atrocities and taking hostages. Literally the next day, American student groups were blaming Israel. Protests on campuses began to multiply and today the situation seems out of control and pro-Israel and pro-Palestine groups go at one another while school administrations react heavy-handedly. What's behind all the shrill rhetoric?
Scott Shay's 2021 book Conspiracy U looked at antisemitic trends on American campuses, and saw an uptick in sales at the end of last year as some of the things he'd talked about seemed to be coming to the fore. He shares some of his thoughts as to what is going on today on American universities.

EPISODE 110 | How to Be a Fascist
People use the term "Fascist" a lot these days, but do they really know what that means? Fascism is a very specific combination of ideas and goals that occurred within very clear historical and philosophical contexts.
This is a look at where Fascism came from, Mussolini's rise to power, and variations and offshoots of the first Fascist ideologies. And while not everyone you don't like is a "Fascist", there are some actual fascists out there, and they are not being all that quiet.

EPISODE 109| What's in a Name? The Shakespeare Authorship Debate
Guest: Scott Jackson, Mary Irene Ryan Executive Artistic Director of Shakespeare at the University of Notre Dame, current vice president of the Shakespeare Theatre Association (STA) and incoming president, actor, director and Shakespeare scholar
William Shakespeare wrote at least 36 plays, 154 sonnets, two narrative poems and a few shorter poems - more than 884,000 words total, more than 1700 of which he invented. But just who was this guy? Was he really "the Man from Stratford", or merely a pen name for... well someone else?
We look at some of the more popular Anti-Stratfordian theories and also look at why some people seem hell bent on proving that someone else, anyone else, actually wrote all that stuff.

EPISODE 108 | Swiftboating Redux: Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome
She's the most successful pop star today, yet some people seem to suffer brain meltdowns when thinking about Taylor Swift. Call it TDSD, Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome, and it takes hold especially in MAGAmaniacs, Trumpeteers, Trad Chads and broflakes.
Tracing the conspirasphere's treatment of Swift along with her career and life, including Kanyegate and the Masters Dispute, shows some interesting connections as TDSD spreads far and wide, outpaced only by her own wildly popular musical output.

EPISODE 107 | Traces of Reality: Abstract Art and the CIA (World Is Weird 13)
Guest: Mandy Theis, founder and director of the School of Atelier Arts, academic director and professor at the Florence Academy of Art
Maybe you've walked into a museum or gallery and seen a big white, blank canvas, or a huge circle, and thought, "So, this is art, eh?". But why is there so much of this abstract stuff around? The answer might be surprising - because the CIA promoted it as part of the Cold War.
And then it rather got away from them. Today, the art market is the most unregulated in the world, and aesthetics and skill take a back seat to branding.

EPISODE 106 | Suffer the Children â Pizzagate, Wayfair & the Seeds of QAnon
"Without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism."
In the world of the internet, this is known as Poeâs Law, and itâs especially applicable to the weird narrative Gordian Knot known as Pizzagate. The adage applies not just to how absurd some beliefs are, but also to the arguments made by people who hold these beliefs. First formulated in 2005 by Nathan Poe, it builds on a 2001 quote by Alan Morgan called Alanâs 2nd Law of Newsgroups, which states, âAny sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook.â
And that is certainly the case for the wild story that âa hipster-heavy pizza parlorâ (as they put it on their website) in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington D.C. is not just a fun family place with pizza, ping pong and live music, but the nerve center for an diabolical child trafficking ring that operates out in the open because they are protected by highly-placed pedophiles in the Democratic party. As an article on Cracked.com puts it, âThis is supported by lots of very stupid evidenceâ.
The stakes of the fake narrative are so high that itâs become more than just true believers review bombing the place. Workers have been harassed and, on December 4, 2016, a heavily armed man entered the restaurant and started firing guns.
The story of Pizzagate is the story of how the conspirasphere went from harmless kookery to being actually, physically dangerous.
TRIGGER WARNING: Some pretty disturbing things will be talked about in this episode, so if the subject of child sexual abuse and trafficking is deeply uncomfortable for you, perhaps you should not listen. I mean, it should be uncomfortable to anyone, but you know what I mean.

Washington D.C. is an interesting place and, like many cities, has some oddities.

EPISODE 101 | Panic! at the Disco - The Jan. 6 Event (World Is Weird 12)
On January 6, 2021 at 12:53 EST, a mass of people overwhelmed police on the west side of the US Capitol Building in Washington DC. At 2:11, a window was broken, and they entered the building. What followed was a bizarre scene, with some happy to just wander around, while others had more active plans. When it was over, 5 people were dead, 138 law enforcement personnel were injured (15 needing hospitalization), and an untold number of civilians were also injured. Eventually, more than 1100 people would be charged with various crimes committed that day.
What exactly happened here? Whatever you want to call it, it was fueled by conspiracy theories and conspiracy thinking. And it also engendered CTs of its own. The conspirasphere had finally run amok.

EPISODE 100 | Conspirasphere Rising - A Talk w/Derek Arnold (Because Reasons 9)
Guest: Derek Arnold, Senior Instructor at Villanova University, where he teaches a course on The Rhetoric of Conspiracy Theories
The modern conspirasphere sort of starts with the assassination of JFK, and events in the two decades that follow help shape a growing trend toward conspiracy thinking in the United States. Mr. Arnold teaches his students all about this, and also offers guidance in how to construct a toolkit for analyzing conspiracy theories that they can take with them out into the world.
This is our 100th episode! What a long, strange trip it's been. Thank you for your past support!
