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.

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.

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.

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.

[originally published on Patreon Jan 25, 2022; for the retarded theory that Guterma was a tulpa, see Penny Royal's episodes]
Joined again by @Boyd_Beaver, today's the final episode on Alexander Guterma, where we discuss how Guterma fit into the Moe Dalitz / Roy Cohn connection. We discuss how exactly how sexually repressed Hoover supposedly was, the DoJ's attacks on the Purple gang / Desert Inn gang, and another Howard Hughes connection. Then we discuss Guterma's deals with Rafael Trujillo, and speculate on why the government's documents on this are still redacted.
This leads us to Guterma's arrest and conviction for a variety of crimes. Interestingly, the feds wanted Guterma to snitch on capital flight from the Soviet Union. Then, we cover how Guterma structured his offshore wealth to hide it from the feds. Guterma tried to break into Resorts International, and then got into Kentucky Coal, doing essentially the same tax writeoff schemes as they did with oil decades prior.
Then we get into underground tunnels - specifically Meyer Lansky's secret tunnels in Michigan. From there, we go Galaxy Brain and discuss how everything is a front.
Then, Guterma died in a plane crash in 1977 and go over all the connections we still didn't cover (the WCC, Fassoulis, Handsome Johnny), and how Guterma is a skeleton key for the eldritch monster we're up against.

Boyd and I go through the rest of Guterma's business holdings. This included United Chemical and Dye, which leads us right into the nexus of the RFK Department of Justice's proxy war against IG Farben via General Aniline and Film Corporation, as well as their fight against the mafia, Hoffa, and Roy Cohn. Sam Garfield comes back up which links to Big Oil, as well as Ted Llewellyn, as well as Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson.
Along the way, we touch on political blackmail rings, Resorts International, diamond mining, and Llewellyn's network of nightclubs in the US, the Philippines and Japan, the Roswell connection, Uranium trading. Howard Hughes, gunrunning, drug trafficking in Japan, the Connecticut connection, and Trevor Moore.

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.

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.

Today's a fun one because I answer a Q&A question about how much of what we know about history is crafted into a false narrative. I go through a straightforward discussion of a few major gray areas including Stonehenge, and Heribert Illig's Phantom Time Hypothesis, and discuss the evidence for and against it. That opens up a very deep rabbit hole.
We're talking New Catastrophism, New Chronology, Velikovsky, Christoph Marx, Alfred de Grazia, and a Soviet spy ring embedded within a New Chronology study group.

You're premium subscribers, you already know the score. Yes, Ira Levin and William Peter Blatty were both spies, but What Does It Mean?
I go through the careers of both authors and flag the times they worked for US intelligence, then how perhaps their writing was affected by that fact, and then the reverberations their work has had on society. With Levin, we meet the Ayn Rand circle, Malachi Martin, the weirdness of Rosemary's Baby, the Stepford Wives, the Boys From Brazil, Son of Rosemary, and so on.
With Blatty, we discuss USIA, the Groucho Marx connection, the Ninth Configuration, the Exorcist, Mark David Chapman, the Zodiac, the Exorcist III, Dahmer, and I cite the great pd187 and Christopher Knowles on the Exorcist film.
To wrap it up, I discuss the "less well-known" David St. John, who weirdly corresponds with Candy Jones, and how the saga of Tom Dooley III shows that religious psyops are not exactly new. And the songs are pretty great this episode too, lol.

Today's episode is nuts. I don't hear anyone referring to Salinger as a spy, and yet he was very much a spy. He served in the army's counterintelligence corps where, as it turns out, he saw some remarkable and horrific things.
Then possibly got brainwashed by Nazis? I'm legitimately not joking; he was at least in the position to be brainwashed. After that, he married a Nazi spy and brought her to the US. I discuss his spiritual dilettantism, and then I go over the Joyce Maynard affair, pulling out a few very curious details that rarely get addressed.
Then of course I talk about the curious role the Catcher in the Rye has played in various assassinations, and what might be in the novel that would catch the eye of an assassin. To wrap it up, I discuss the possibility that the novel contains Freemasonic themes and messages.

Today's all about Edward Bulwer-Lytton, whose works are very unique. His writing was incredibly popular and full of high strangeness, if not outright occult themes. In this episode, I talk about The Last Days of Pompeii, Zanoni, and Vril: the Power of the Coming Race.
I also discuss the Morning of the Magicians, a curious work by some French journalists that discusses (among other things) esoteric Nazism and how it intersects with Vril. I also talk about Willy Ley, an interesting German science fiction author.
To wrap it up, I examine Bulwer-Lytton's family and political legacy, and that of his children. Milner, Rhodes, and the RIIA come up, and so do the British Theosophical networks in India and Germany. Then I confront the Dope Inc. thesis that there was a "cult of Isis" that British elites sought to foster.

In case you've ever wondered what the political fallout from a massacre is like, this is your episode. Brave Colonel Varela faced obfuscation and misdirection from Yrigoyen's government, attacks from the socialists in Congress, attacks in the press, silence, and eventually a "promotion". Then, Varela was blown up, and the chain of revenge spins out from there. It's quite a story, though!

Today's the second of three episodes about the Patagonian Revolution. If you don't know what happens, don't spoil it for yourself or others. We pick up from the resounding victories of the strikes of 1920, and discuss the ongoing struggles and strikes of 1921, which do not go quite as well, to put it mildly. This one's rough, folks. At least at the end, there's a nice sex worker-positive story of resistance, I suppose. But just wait for next week, where there's -some- measure of justice.

Today's the first of a 3-part series (or 4 if you include the Simon Radowitzky episode) on the Patagonian Revolution, which a lot of people don't know about. In some ways, the story continues as these events occurred after the Radowitzky episode, also. We talk about the politics of the time, Argentina's Tragic Week and who owned Patagonia. Understanding the economic base of Patagonia is crucial to understanding the story, as well as the different forces exploiting the economy. It all culminates in waves of strikes which allow the workers to win major concessions. Much of this episode sets up the events for episode 2-3, but I promise it's not boring.

Today I return to looking at novels as spycraft, particularly Lewis Carroll, JM Barrie, and HG Wells. I go through Carroll's connections to Oxford, his hobbies and predilections, his relationship with the Liddell family, and the enduring fixation Carroll's work has for pedophiles to this day.
Then, I look at JM Barrie, his ties to the literary scene and the throne, his relationship with the Llewelyn Davies family, and the fate of those children.
To wrap it up, I discuss several of HG Wells more interesting works, including the World Set Free, the Open Conspiracy, and the New World Order.
You might have known some of what I talk about today, but I'm certain there are some salient details that biographers seem to like to leave out.

Today's about Argentina and it's radical history. We're talking about immigrants from Europe bringing their politics, the economic base of Argentina, and a May Day massacre that triggered a wild chain of events. We trace the life of Simon Radowitzky from the Ukraine to Argentina, to Ushuaia prison, to an escape, then back to prison, then to Uruguay, then Spain during their civil war, then finally Mexico City. It's a wild story.

Today's all about novels as spycraft. I introduce the premise, the different classifications, and then briefly discuss Ian Fleming, George Viereck, Robert Ludlum, John le Carré, George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and then Aldous Huxley.
First I talk about Thomas Henry Huxley, Aldous's grandfather, the X Club, the rise of Darwinism and Social Darwinism, its connections to Rhodes, Milner, and the Fabians, and HG Wells.
Then, I go through Aldous Huxley's life, his time in Hollywood, his friends and circle, and how he set up networks in the US to promote drug culture.

Today I answer a question about Roberto Bolaño and his work, read and discuss some of By Night in Chile, and discuss the role crime novels have in society.
Then, I'm outed as a believer of magick in another Q&A question asking my opinion on the material basis of magick and whether the ruling class practices magick. I discuss Mormonism in several ways, white and black magick, stage magic, Giordano Bruno and Professor Ioan Culianu, John Dee, the CIA's stage magician John Mulholland, Haitian voudon, a research office tied to the Human Ecology Fund researching witchcraft for psychological warfare, the FBI memo about using magickal harassment (Beware the Siberian Beetle!), and other hints.
