Jimmy did not write episode notes for the remaining episodes, however in this case Reid wrote,
"We dive into the deeply sus book 1976 Gods of Aquarius by paranormal hustler extraordinaire Brad Steiger. The book popularized the term "starseed" and, as we shall see, confirms some of our worst fears about who becomes one and why."

"We introduce the concept of starseeds and discuss some vignettes of starseeds from the academic literature. We hit new age concepts like past life regression, discuss brainwashing oneself, and map out a profile for the kinds of people who tend to become starseeds."

This is the fifteenth and last installment in the UFC/Banana/Guatemala series.
Rodolfo and I finish discussing the film La Llorona. We get into some of the more spiritual themes of the film. We sincerepost and share our thoughts on spirituality more generally. This leads to a discussion of family ghost stories, and we each share one.

Diving deeply into the claims made in the film La Llorona, I examine the question of Guatemala's oil industry in the wake of the 1954 coup and onwards, especially during La Violencia. As it turns out, most of the story deals with a company named Basic Resources International SA, or BRISA.
BRISA was owned by Sir James Goldsmith, a very curious man from a curious family. A corporate raider, far-right donor, and backer of private military contractor companies. I discuss the relationship between conservation movements and PMCs, and how the Goldsmith family backed both.
This leads me to discuss the privatization of intelligence, such as Six Eye / 6I, and Goldsmith's ties to Le Cercle. That, in turn, leads to a discussion of the P2 Lodge which itself loops right back to Banco Ambrosiano and would you look at that - BRISA again.
Then, I lay out BRISA's money moves and acquisitions next to the events of La Violencia and it starts to look more and more like the genocide was to move the Mayans off oil-rich lands. Finally, I find the piece of the puzzle to connect BRISA to the genocide directly via the case of General Vernon Walters.
Then, I cite several key examples which strengthen the hypothesis. After that, I explain what happened to the Guatemalan oil industry afterwards, where Guatemalan gangs came from, and why Guatemala continues to be unstable. Songs:False Flags by Massive AttackThird World Blood by Behind Enemy Lines
