His aim was to reassure the common man society would recover from its troubled times. From 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration we offer a- I'm Greg Carlwood These are The Hireside Chats

01:35 Alright, riding the waves of the ever choppy Conspiracy from sunny San Diego I'm Greg Carlwood. And it seems The Matrix is glitching and the Tower of Babel is starting to lean and The Big Machine is getting rusty. Investments in free fall, currencies in decline, creativity gone from corporate arts, and political playbook running out of pages Nothing feels fresh, productive or even stable. But this is not the world itself it's the techno-industrial artificial overlay of the planet's puppet masters and it was always going to fail Outside of the smart cities, beyond the range of 5G networks and when screens are turned off how different is it from how it's always been? Well that's a question worth asking and really the only outlook that makes people think things will be okay. But they are certainly unstable with many folks eerily unaware In uncertain eras we turn to those who read between lines connect dots see signs like my friend and yours The Great Christinals

02:34 He's an ultra-rare member of the THC Double Digit Club, joining us for Lucky Number 11. There is almost nothing we haven't talked about and wouldn't you know so many of these previous threads have woven new layers since last time we talked and it will be great to get into him! He is the author of excellent books like The Wild Ride novel he will live up in the sky and a collection of his best from the blog The Endless American Midnight Dispatches From The Secret Sun As well as the classic, our gods wear spandex. The secret history of comic book heroes. The complete X-Files beyond the series, the myths in the movies, the secret history of rock and roll, the mysterious roots of modern music and a few others

03:14 His latest venture is the Secret Sun Institute of Advanced Synchromysticism via Patreon, where for the low-low price of $3 a month you can partake in his multi hour exposés on all things conspiratorial, synchromystic and strange. Always a pleasure to have him back! The SYNCHROMYSTIC TAPESTRY TRACKER WEB OF REALITY RECORDER AND WOKE VIRUS VACCINATOR Chris my man welcome back how the hell are ya? Oh, I'm great Greg. That's another one of your great introductions! I didn't realize i'm in the double digit club though that's pretty amazing. I feel very very honored yeah man I really think it's just you and Gordon but it is a small club regardless if there's one or two others in there but you make it feel like it's not even work You're one of my favorite people to talk to when it all just seems like too much obviously in that intro I tried to focus on the

04:05 Distinction between the world itself and the big machine, because everything artificial, everything of the matrix let's say to use the cliche seems like it is falling apart. But that doesn't mean the world is ending? I don't know man, It's a long road to 2030 so I gotta pace myself but its hard to be hopeful right now. Its hard not feel exhausted by at all isnt it? Not for me! No I dont feel exhausted at all I kind of feel like I was born for these times. You know, I have this new idea that I've been mulling over. I call it postgnosis and it's just basically like taking the whole Gnostic ideas you know of the fullness and falling from the fullness and being alienated on an alien world and realizing that what it really is is that the natural worlds is the fullness. That's the pleroma

05:05 And it's that matrix world, that artificial world. That's the false reality. That's the demi-urge reality. So I mean we're in it! We have access to the fullness you know and there are things...there are energies and ideas and powers and spirits just flying around us all the time. We just need to tune into their station basically. I think the problem that we have as a culture, is that we allow the matrix's propaganda channels to determine our reality rather than splitting off and getting in touch with that fullness. But you know that fullness that the Gnostics talk about is there for us if you're willing to take the time to access it so this was like my post-gnosis because it's not like

05:58 fullness or the pleroma of some alien world, or some other dimension. You know it's the world that we become alienated from We're not aliens were alienated. We've become so alienated from the real world that when we get these messages that the natural world is sending us all the time, we see it as alien Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's true and whenever I have a guest say something like being born for these times I do agree and I do get a charge from that maybe I'm attributing new data facts to the work Incorrectly but in terms of things falling apart, I mean you have been banging this drum for a long time But now we have more data To support that all the elite ventures are on the downslide

06:45 How bad is it really for big tech and the woke infected, would you say? Well those are a couple different issues that we need to separate so we can unpack them. You know basically what it boils down to his empire okay So when you talk about big tech Big Tech is just an arm It's just a wing of The Imperial Project Okay, despite what a lot of people think Google and Apple and all these companies, they don't run the show. They're just part of the show. You know their wings of it there are the technological wing of The Imperial Project And The Imperial Project always has you know like an egg timer on its head It's happened throughout history you know empires... I've heard people say that you know empire is usually only last 250 years or so right? So if that's the case then we're coming up to the end of our run

07:45 I think that the empire itself is just going to morph. I think the empire in this present form is probably headed for the rocks, but that doesn't mean it won't somehow change shape and so on. But there now is serious competition, you know, a serious rivalry with what's...you know, the world island, Asian countries are just tired of being colonies and stepping stools for the Western imperial powers. China and Russia, obviously but India as well they're kind of getting a little tired of chafing under the harness of the Western imperial superstructure so I think what we're seeing now is just inevitable and a lot of it has to do with political realities military realities technological realities you know

08:40 the British Empire fell and then it was reborn in the West, under the American empire. And because America was separated from the fields of battle, you know theater war in World War II, It was able to keep its factories running and not have to spend all this time money and resources rebuilding itself so we had a huge head start on the rest of the world And, you know the whole communist project kept a lot of these countries held back and it obviously stunted their technological growth for quite some time. But now they're catching up and the greatest power in the world—the U.S Navy which I keep saying...and if you talk to anybody who's got any sort of expertise in these areas they'll agree with me—you know

09:38 you rule the world by ruling the waves, and the U.S Navy rules the waves but right now the Asian powers are building the Belt and Road Initiative to take total advantage of the World Island that Eurasian giant super continent without having a worry about getting past the US Navy and so on but they're also developing weapons ultrasonic weapons and so on, and carrier killers to really trump the US Navy's great advantage which is these carrier fleets. Which are just basically giant military fortresses on the waves. Yeah and the point you made about empires lasting about 250 years I definitely agree with that point and on the blog you've been

10:34 going at these current elite or parasite class as really just the spoiled rich kids of those who came before them. And maybe that multi-generational aspect is part of why things collapse because the kids of these people who set this stuff up, they don't know what the hell they're doing and so it all starts to unravel but another point I was gonna ask you about is, what's coming out of The World Economic Forum and The Gospel Of Klaus equates some of the turmoil that we're going through as an engineered collapse, especially in the West. And there's this idea that they got to take down America for the great reset to rebuild a global nation loyal to them so it's sometimes hard to equate some of the troubling data as elite offspring incompetence versus working towards their downstream goal of collapsing this empire in an engineered way

11:29 What do you think about that? I mean, are both kind of true or people just kind of giving the elite too much credit when they're really just running us into the rocks. What do you say? Yeah, I think they're making it up as they go along to be honest with you know, I really do and if you watch those Davis Davis, the Davos conferences You really get a sense that these people just really aren't that bright. I think that the conspiracy sphere so much of it grows out of a millennial apocalyptic or millenarian, apocalyptic fundamentalist Christian view. So it always tended to over inflate the competence of these global elites you know it's kind of like pro wrestling you need a credible villain you know to build up the hero but I just want to backtrack a little because

12:27 Again, there are so many moving parts here and I think the many moving parts are part of the problem. Part of the problem is things have just gotten too complicated. Things have gotten to complex. There's too much information out there. There're too many people out there trying to influence this system, trying to interject their will upon this system and it's just impossible to keep track off. And I think what we're seeing now is that like the chickens are really coming home to roost you know, we had a situation back in the 70s where the American empire was really seen to be on the rocks. And there was the Cold War so much of our resources were spent dealing with these rivalries from Russia and China and what Nixon had decided to do was basically buy off China or sell out to China and basically ship all our jobs over to their prison camps, their work camps. So that was able

13:31 the manufacturing income afloat, you know. And then we had all the outsourcing and so on. We had all these factories being moved overseas where workers are making pennies on the dollars and so on but basically what we have is a series of scams okay I mean really just a series of scams anything is that if you read it like a really good Roman historian like Will Durant You're going to see that none of this is new which is playing the old Roman playbook Over and over again, but everything about our economy and our culture is just become fake It's just fake. Not only is it fake but it's just incredibly bloated You know And you know you talk about that Davos level at the Schwab level I mean these people are just inveterate liars But you can only lie so long before the lies catch up to you because you have to tell lies too

14:26 Get over the lies. You have to tell lie upon lie upon lie and one of the things that I say is that these days if you're a person of any kind of prominence, it's almost impossible for you to keep secrets because there are just so many eyes on you and its very hard to hide particularly in malfeasance. And that's why the establishment corporate press has gotten so aggressive about quote-unquote disinformation and quote-unquote conspiracy theory, all of which they're not targeting your more fringe types what they're targeting is people who are questioning the mechanics of empire and the abuse of empire by the people within it okay? So

15:13 We had a situation back in the 70s where the system was really on the rocks, right? And we had Nixon basically outsourcing a lot of our labor, a lot of our manufacturing costs to these prison camps in China. But another thing was happening simultaneously and that was just huge influxes of drugs from South and Central America, okay? And what we had is that we had these cartels building up huge fortunes because of the appetite for cocaine in the 70s and 80s.

15:54 And I know you want to talk about Johnny Depp, so that sort of ties into blow. And you want to talk about Bruce Willis and aphasia and that to me... A lot of these kind of neurological diseases can be traced to cocaine abuse okay? So there was this huge pool just billions upon billions of dollars American US dollars right That had to be laundered They had to be accounted for Even cash especially in that amount needs to be accounted for. You have to give some sort of excuse where it came from, right? So a lot of it went to Hollywood okay and that's when we started seeing 100 million dollars 200 million dollars allegedly spent on these movies and then a lot of it went to big tech so a lot of this cocaine blood money is coming into the American system And it needs to be laundered. So what the Reagan administration did

16:51 because they were supporting the Contras in Nicaragua who are huge drug dealers and also the CIA under William Casey. There was all this Koch money that needed to be laundered, so what the Reagan administration did is that they deregulated all of the financial markets—Wall Street and all these capital funds and hedge funds and all these kinds of things—they were all deregulated which basically meant nobody was going to keep an eye on what they were doing You understand what I'm saying? It was like deregulation is like a fancy sort of code word for, do whatever you want with all this laundered money. We won't ask you any questions. Okay? And the problem is now big pharma has taken a lot of the cartels' money away because now we have edibles and speed and opioids, fentanyl.

17:51 all the drugs that you would have had, like cocaine. Cocaine's been replaced by stimulants. You know you have over-the-counter mushrooms in this state probably in your state as well and obviously edibles and also opioids okay so big pharmas saw the money that all these cartels were making and they said we want a cut of that action yeah we wanted on that! So then they started buying off the regulatory, you know what's called regulatory capture. They started buying off all the regulatory agencies and allowing getting the brakes taken off for instance opioids in the 90s and we've seen the effect of that human wreckage of that decision so basically what happened is a lot of that funny money started to run out

18:49 for instance, your state of California. And you're talking about how the taxes are going up and so on well the taxes are going up and so on because no matter what you see on paper The influx of money coming from big tech in Hollywood which a huge amount was laundered drug money fed to venture capitalists and hedge funds and market funds and capital funds and all these kind of things that sprung up in the 80's and 90's A lot of that drug money is drying up Do you understand what I'm saying? So now they're squeezing the taxpayers to keep this gigantic bloated bureaucracy afloat. Do you understand what I'm saying? There are so many things happening at once, and if you take maybe a more holistic view of it, you just understand that this is the rise and fall these imperial structures right

19:43 But there are a lot of unique situations today because of technology and because of science and because of transportation. There are a lot of these pressures that are new, because we have different ways of disseminating information, disseminating money right? And moving people around so these new pressures added into the sort of almost like in-baked holistically conceived pressures that all empires throughout history have had to face. So in one regard, what we're seeing now is new and in one regard

20:25 It's very old. Well, on that subject of it being new but old to fold in a little esoterica here I didn't know this until i saw your post but the Egyptian god Ra is often spelled R-E or was maybe originally spelled RE and the great reset is basically the Great Ra Set and again its the Old Egyptian God Motif Yeah well you know what? Its funny you should mention that too because The whole thing of Ra and Set, if you look back in Egyptian history. You know you had the upper and the lower kingdom, and the lower kingdom worshipped set and the upper kingdom worshiped ra that was their main gods right? And the whole idea of Ra-Set this component god that we had

21:21 was a symbol of the unification of the two kingdoms. So when you talk about like, The Great Reset which is kind of like a strange term it's always kind of bothered me It's always just like... But there's a guy on Twitter named A Conscious Abyss who is talking about Set and I'm like okay well that's half of the equation What's the other half of the equation? Oh yeah, of course Ra Rey so it is this whole idea of unification so That The Great Reset in this regard would be the unification of like the Anglosphere and the European Union. You know, so basically you have like what are called The Five Eyes, The Anglosphere which is Canada America Great Britain Australia and New Zealand And that's basically on a functional level That's sort of like the Byzantine Empire to the British Roman Empire right? So... The Anglosphere or The Five Eyes are basically the Byzantine Empire right

22:21 And I think the great reset is and why it was chosen, why that terminology was chosen. It's like...it's the reunification of the Anglosphere with like a greater European project so it's just this great European empire where all the European territories and European derived territories are sort of reunited. You know? I mean, I think it's insane! I think Klaus Schwab is an absolute lunatic. I think the man is completely out of his mind And if you really watch some of his talks and listen to some of his talks, I mean he just talks like absolute nonsense. He basically sounds like a science fiction fan on Reddit talking about his futuristic ideas and there's actually a very funny video where he is talking to...I think it's Larry Page from Google right? And he is talking about all these ideas about brain implants and this that and the other thing

23:21 And like Larry Page is like, oh you know slow down. You know those things are conceptually possible? Are they really you know maybe one day I mean stuff is never going to happen. Like I keep saying the bulk of the world will be lucky to have internet in 10 or 15 years and it's funny because...I don't know if I was talking about on your show but I was talking about how I just didn't trust crypto right because crypto really relies on a state of the art incident. And, you know, of course we're seeing crypto crash now but yeah I mean that's why a lot of these Wall Street Cassandras are telling everybody to get into precious metals and so on but yeah i mean the great reset is just a joke Klaus Schwab is just an absolute weirdo and The World Economic Forum is just basically a clearinghouse for every dopey futuristic

24:19 cast off idea, you know from transhumanism to agenda 2030. I mean all this stuff is never going to happen it's just never gonna happen because all these ideas were conceived by these think tanks where people were just paid to throw any idea against the wall but also with the assumption that there was going to be this endless fount of free money low interest money and drug money and all those kind of other sources of currency and they're all drying up. I mean, none of this stuff is going to happen and i get very very frustrated. I get very very very frustrated with a lot of people in like, I don't know truthers or conspiracy or whatever who see these people as like these Olympians you know? Like these untouchable super geniuses they're not! They just... The system, you know, like I say the system is the egregore, you know? The system

25:20 What keeps these people afloat and if you cut any of these people out of the system, I mean they're like helpless little babies. Yeah yeah and I certainly appreciate that perspective especially when everybody is so doom and gloom And you know maybe there is a silver lining to all this you've been writing a little bit about it i like this line where you say. Major economies are returning to creating real value through natural resources and manufacturing not lip flapping and paper shuffling and then you say, America is poised to capitalize on the new economic reality in a supreme fashion, but not with the Davos dickheads running everything now. Well that last part of course! But that's really interesting so many people are focused on the decline myself included

26:10 that we often miss what else is going on out there. What do you mean by that? How are we poised to capitalize on the new economic reality, what are other forward thinking countries doing and how can this be a not so terrible thing?" Well let's back up to the war right Ukrainian War So basically I think the UK is the senior partner in this situation concern, they seem to be very preoccupied with this whole situation and keeping Ukraine out of the hands of the Russians. But basically what you have is that there was this huge sanctions regime right?

27:04 And a lot of people were saying, this is about idea. This is going to backfire and the course they're all attacked for being Putin apologists and Russian spies and Russian bots and all this complete another nonsense you know but now like that the Davis doofus layer as I call them are all starting to admit that this is all backfiring. One reason it's backfiring is that Russia produces just enormous amounts of natural resources for the world. Not only oil and gas, but you know this whole thing with a fertilizer precious metals timber... The real tangible stuff as opposed to the digital? Yes yes yes food so America decided that it could rebuild itself like this virtual empire right and it would offshore all its manufacturing

28:00 say South American produce and so on. And, you know all the power in the money sort of gravitated towards the coast right? Gravitated towards the Northeast Corridor in Southern California or southern to central California right? You know with San Francisco and Palo Alto and all this kind of thing So that's why we had this incredible imbalance and this population redistribution you know, all these coastal areas became very heavily Democratic which are actually Rockefeller Republicans. I mean they're not the old Democratic Party at all it's basically the old Rockefeller Republicans who took over the party during the Clinton era because Clinton was tied in with the Rockefellers because the Rockefellers owned Arkansas and probably still do and one of the brothers i think was Winthrop was governor there for a very long time but anyway

28:58 But we ignore the fact that we have the amber waves of grain, you know? The fruited plains. And one of the reasons why America is so well poised to take advantage of this and this is something a lot of people don't take account into and this is why I like to study people who talk about commodities and so on because America has this incredible river system. You know, the Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio that come in from the Great Lakes and empty out into the Gulf of Mexico. So basically, the entire... would that be the width of the breath? I'm not sure but you know from North to South America is covered it's basically free transportation all you just do is put your boats on the river and you can go up and down

29:49 the entire country. And we've got a lot of coastal regions and we have this huge prairie where you can grow any crops that you want, depending on the drought situations and the droughts periodically emerge like they did in the 30's with the Dust Bowl and they seem to be re-emerging now But we have tremendous amounts of oil. I think there's more oil in North America than anywhere else in the world, we have our own minerals, we have everything we need here. We can grow our own food, we can build our own cars, we can build around computers. We don't need anybody else to question just how much do we want to pay for it? And of course, we know that the people running everything don't want to pay anything for anything. You know they want everything to go into their own pockets but this is inevitable

30:45 The sanctions regime just encouraged Russia to pull away from the system that was really bleeding it dry, like the Swift System and the World Bank. I don't know if they even realized it but the Davis-Dufus did Russia a tremendous favor by forcing them to rely on their own unbelievable bounty of natural resources. And that's why, you know the ruble is higher than ever and Russian gas and oil are trading at prices higher than they have been since before the sanctions took hold. They basically are taking over nationalizing all the corporate property of the companies that left the country. It was just a really bad idea to cut them out just not to give the Russians any incentive

31:39 to play ball. They just said, you know screw you we're cutting you off from everything and then they're just like well okay well you know what? We're not sending you fertilizer when we're not sending you the trillions of tons of wheat that we grow or corn or soy or whatever. We're not going to play ball with you and then we're gonna sell it all to China and then we're gonna sell it to India because they need that stuff I mean China in India have a terrible problems growing their own food So screw you, you know? And this is what I'm talking about. This whole World Island, this Eurasian project that is really putting the pressure on the Western naval mercantile powers but we are very well poised if we can just pull all of this stuff back on shore all our manufacturing again so we don't need to be held hostage by these

32:35 supply chain issues, particularly if it's country that we're coming into loggerheads with. We've got everything we need. The question is whether we're going to be able to take advantage of it but we have a tremendous problem with our infrastructure. Our infrastructure needs rebuilding as most of our infrastructure was built from the period from the 30s to 50s right? It's all rotting you know you've got subway tunnels that are about to collapse in cities like New York so we need to focus on our home situation It's gonna be a major problem without all this free phony money flying around anymore. Right, right well I mean that is a really good hopeful positive outlook we do have a lot of resources that can be useful and it's really just the collapse of things like Wall Street and woke Hollywood and big tech and those things aren't even us like I you know call me naive but when 2008 happened

33:33 I was like, man the news is acting like the sky has fallen and everything's destroyed. But this has really no bearing on my life. My paycheck which was always low is still low it's still the same job and of course people have retirement age that's different you know your 401k getting chopped in half sure that really sucks but It's all kind of in the air and it's not really at a practical level like you say we still have The Great Lakes a lot of positive things. I'm looking at moving out of California, but I am seeing these properties that are on like a couple acres and they've leveled everything it's like a house on four acres of just dirt and iIm just thinking why don't you have an orchard? Why don't you have every fruit tree that can grow in your region in a little corner of this four acres? And I'm looking for that property where someone has already done that work because it is going to take eight years to get it going

34:28 But it is crazy how we have the resources and we're focused on the wrong things, and we're focused on really what the elite care most about. And we're equating our ability to succeed based on that stuff, and it's backwards." Well, I think a lot of this is a cultural issue. But it's also...I don't even know how to refer to it but you know when I was talking about before about how the money just sort of pools in Southern California and Central California? I don't know why they call that Northern California. To me Northern California was up near Oregon but New York the Northeast Corridor from Washington and the Virginia suburbs parts of North Carolina

35:12 you know, New York and so on. You know if you look at Massachusetts for instance I mean Massachusetts is really sort of like the nerve center of the military industrial complex you know it's...you've got all the big universities there which are just basically think tanks for the security state for the national security state but you've also got all the tech and stuff people forget about all the tech that's in Massachusetts because they're so focused on the glamour of Silicon Valley and so on but here's a thing again do a lot of things to unpack This is like our theory of everything episode. And I'm trying to sort of break these down into small problems, but so the problem is like I said big tech has been held aloft by just billions upon billions of dollars of free money drug money unregulated money and so on and so forth. It was basically you know it's the casino effect Google comes out of nowhere and becomes one of the biggest corporations in

36:16 depending on how you qualify that, right? But it's like big tech is really a lot. Okay and here's the thing so we've got all these people working in big tech companies right and not only in California but also Seattle area Microsoft and Amazon and all these people but the problem is that all the concepts that Big Tech operates on were put in place before anybody working in Silicon Valley today was born. Do you understand what I'm saying? So all the concepts, cell phones teleconferencing the internet wireless, I mean all these ideas came from the 60s and 70s right You know a lot of it came from Xerox PARC and Palo Alto And you know Xerox even like a significant corporation anymore where you really don't hear about them that much but they really

37:14 created the desktop and the mouse, and all these kind of things that we use today. But all this technology that we think is like the crown of our 21st century creation you know like We are The Pinnacle Of Human Striving is all 50 60 sometimes 70 years old. Do you understand what I mean? So it's like what are all these people doing then tens of thousands of people in Mountain View and Palo Alto wherever. I mean, what are they doing? Literally what are they doing? We don't see any significant new products coming out of big tech do we? Google makes a ton of money on the cloud but their consumer products are pretty poor you know i mean i don't know anybody who uses like their

38:09 You know, their spreadsheets or their word processor. Any of these kind of things that think that they're state-of-the art in any way shape or form? And Microsoft Word is not nearly as good as it was 20 years ago I mean it just becomes bloated because what you have is that you have frauds and mediocrities you know, they've got to justify these incredible salaries that they're making this incredible lifestyle that they have. So they're always adding on like all these useless innovations onto consumer software that just bogs it all down and just like I really have noticed right? That the Mac OS, you know, the desktop os has just gotten slower and buggier and just less efficient than it was even 10 years ago, you

38:58 and they spend so much time trying to keep their woke employee pool quiet that they don't focus on their core products anymore. And what we really have is that we have tens of thousands of people employed, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people employed in big tech who aren't creating anything real you know? They're not creating anything of value What they are doing is maintaining you know, these platforms and these programs and so on. And usually making them worse okay? Usually making them worse. A lot of this has to do with the educational system and kind of like the lackadaisical attitude towards work that millennials and Gen Zers have. This is not like

39:53 you know, an old man yelling at cloud. I mean this is pretty well documented you know there was this thing when Elon Musk was going to buy Twitter there was some guy who...I don't know if he leaked? There was something that got leaked and this guy who's like VP level executive level said that he only works four hours a week sacrifice his free time. He basically does nothing for this company because what really needs to be done, what really needs to be done at these companies anymore? The software exists! Right?! Like it's just basically maintenance cause we're not seeing anything new come out or anything significant come out that's new. So you've got to keep this whole train rolling You know, you've gotta keep this whole illusion of technological progress running

40:47 Because if you don't, people start to question why they're making all these sacrifices on so many different levels—personal, political, economic—to feed the system that feeds on them and is mostly peopled by people who hate them. And if people start to question that then the whole thing collapses. You know it's no coincidence that Elon Musk is the PayPal guy and the Tesla guy, but he's also like the quote unquote space program guy. Which is just all nonsense. And then you know robotics and androids... I mean robots do exist but they're automatons we're never gonna see androids ever. Artificial intelligence again it's transhumanism these things are all hoaxes that are promoted by the technocrats to keep this machine running

41:44 And they feed this stuff to Hollywood and Hollywood becomes part, they become accomplices to this whole scam. This whole hoax right? But this goes back to the 30's you know when you had like all these World of Tomorrow stuff and The World To Come that movie from the thirties where it'd be like this great future because everybody was living hand-to-mouth during The Great Depression so this is like the carrot It's like, oh don't become communist. Just come hold on! It's coming now just it's right around the corner and you know it's like when I've written about on the blog is that all these technological miracles have been right around the corner my entire life yeah You know what I'm saying? It's just like...I can't believe it just amazes me stories that I remember reading almost verbatim

42:34 20, 30, 40 years ago are still being recycled today. It's like Neuralink right? So that's like Elon Musk was talking about Neuralink I remember hearing about Neuralink in the early 90s maybe even earlier okay so this is like this pipe dream that just they keep pushing and they'll do these sort of like all these little demonstrations and they're all just faked, just to keep this machine running. Because if people start to question technocracy, technocracy will collapse because it's fundamentally fake. They're not creating anything new. They're making enormous amounts of money. I mean all these people are making enormous amounts of money for doing next to nothing in the post COVID area a lot of these people don't even work anymore they just collect their salary and stay at home you know? You hearing this a lot right

43:31 And like I said, the easy money, the interest free money and the drug money is all drying up. So it's like they're facing this crisis point and it's like you know, you talk about leaving California to me like California so much different. Like I remember going to San Francisco back in the 80s and it was wonderful. It's just like a warm lovely place with really friendly people and there's just a great environment It was almost like a giant college campus or something. And look at it now, you know? I mean look what it's become but to me It's like it's on a deeper level to me It's not a metaphysical level and this is what I say and this You know I can talk about all this nuts-and-bolts stuff when I start to get metaphysical and spiritual about the stuff people let go Oh, well This guy says nut that's our favorite around here Yeah So it's like California to me. It's become fundamentally evil

44:31 That's what I was picking up on the past few times that have been there. Why does it feel so different? Why does it feel cold and hard and unwelcoming, and I think it is because it has become a fundamentally evil place. The reason being that it is controlled by fundamentally evil fake hoax industries like big tech in Hollywood So much of the money is obviously real estate, you know what I'm asking about? Like these houses just sit in the middle of this huge arable plot. But that's because they can make more money from a mansion and I'm sure people who move into that mansion will be screaming about global warming when they're paying $1,000 a month to air condition the place.

45:24 You know, I mean it's all fake. It really is. Yeah of course Hollywood produces films and big tech produces software and so on but they're not producing anything new there hasn't been a fresh idea coming out of Hollywood since at least the early 90s everything is just a retread everything was a sequel or remake or comic book Again, all these industries are built on laundered drug money. So when you wonder why you have a state that gives rise to just all these hideous people like Grusome Newsom and Chase of Bodine in San Francisco just turning the city over to criminals and these weird drunk old hags like Nancy Pelosi and so on—

46:15 You just look at this and it's just like, this is a freak show. Well it's because of the spiritual malaise that I think has gripped California. And I used to love California. Like I still believe in California, I really do. I think there's a lot of potential there to get over this but its like in 80s 90s early 2000 they were captured you know California was colonized by the world of fraud and hoax, you know what I'm saying? Like the fake world. Right. To me the technocratic world is the fake world Well, you know people always criticize me for living here and I say yeah. I agree with all the problems you have All i really like is the natural stuff around me That's all i really like that's the part that's hard to leave so it's not all that other stuff. I understand It's it's not great there's your postgnosis You believe in the pleroma and the fullness of nature? Yeah, I agree with you. It's beautiful yes, you know, I mean all the mountains and coastline and big sir and

47:18 It's just beautiful. There is a lot to like, it's you know people have moved there en masse for a reason it's that Mediterranean climate that is just so pleasant but the problem is... Go ahead what? I was going to switch gears but the problem is what? No, I'm just saying we had these industries that were propped up by funny money to such an extent that they can't run a business on blood money without evil affecting your entire enterprise. I really believe that, I really do believe that

48:02 Well said and you know i come from missouri so i have a big network there in a big network here and i think about these things collapsing and i look back to the people at home they're almost completely unaffected oblivious don't even really care because they've been living closer, set the natural systems and they haven't been running on all of fumes. of the blood money and the drugs. And it's California that feels like it's collapsing because of all that stuff, I think you really are nailing it and if you get more into the Midwest, it really isn't gonna be hit as hard by that stuff but I cannot believe that it's almost been an hour and there were so many little things I wanted to throw into this first hour but we'll see where we get but that is a really good lay-of-the-land and a real positive message about how

48:51 Don't focus on what the elite are doing and when that stuff collapses, that's not the world itself. And postgnosis is definitely going to make it into the title here. You have done some really deep dives on you know, the synchromistic stuff we love. The classic Chris Knowles threads that we've talked about and a lot of them still seem to be continuing first of all I didn't know this until this morning but we should mention that The Great Oracle and Siren Supreme Liz Frazier actually has an EP coming out Two days from now, it's called Sons Signature of all things. And the song she chose to remake is interesting just to remind people Jeff Buckley drowned in Memphis then rapper Young Dolph also died in Memphis on the 24th anniversary of Buckley's death and his last video showed him at the bottom of a body of water well she remade a song for The Sons Signature EP and of all the songs its one called Underwater

49:48 I think she knows what's going on. I think she's onto you, Chris." Well, there is a reason that I made most of that stuff private because you forget that anybody can access this information and people are always Googling themselves and so on it's like I never Google myself I don't want to know what people are saying about me. You know, it's a you know, I remember Frank Miller, you know he never read reviews of his work this back in the 80s He said because the bad reviews hurt his feelings and the good reviews bloated his ego Yes So he didn't want to hear it And you know It's like you got to be really careful about like what you put out there But it just gets to the point that I'm just like yeah something is happening but this gets back to when I talk

50:41 I don't know, it's almost this concept of eternal return. We were taught by the Enlightenment that things like sybils don't exist—that's just fantasy and delusion. We were taught that evil doesn't exist or demons don't exist or the spiritual world, nature spirits, whatever... we're taught all these things are delusion We were taught these things were delusion because the people of the Enlightenment were coming on the heels of some really horrific religious wars that just almost destroyed Europe completely. But, they threw out a lot of babies with that bathwater and this whole idea of the Sybil emerging at periods exactly like today

51:35 you know, the symbols would become very important during these crisis periods. We're led to believe that those things don't actually exist but the great thing about technology today is that we can bypass the opinion makers and do things like what I do with like synchromysticism and once you do synchronisticism for gosh it's been almost 30 years for me You start to realize things are not like what they tell you they're like in school. They're not like what the scientists tell you, they're not like what the media tells you and in point of fact people above that level, people above that sort of meteor level that almost like in a Brave New World context there would be the betas, your people at the alpha level still believe it all this stuff and they use it

52:40 And they use it, you know? So when you talk about Elizabeth it's just like she's got a 40-year track record of like every time she makes some move there is some earth shaking event to accompany. You know, you talk about some signature and some signature was announced hours before Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine literally hours okay that to me is like If you don't believe me by now, I don't know what else I can tell you. You know? I've been telling people that I have this huge database on the secret sun called Laugh While You Still Can that was inspired by a sort of onion knockoff site that was making fun of me and basically responded with all this data with all this information it's like okay...you know..I've got 40 years track record of this kind of thing

53:37 and it's leading to where we are today, specifically when Sun signature was announced hours before Vladimir Putin out of nowhere no one is expecting it declared war on Ukraine. So I don't know what to say anymore. Listen the world doesn't exist like you were taught it exists and the people at that elite level they might not understand it they may not know how take full advantage of it, but they believe it. Yeah and they try I guarantee you they believe it and that's why their symbols tell you that they believe the symbolism and their rituals in their actions You know? I mean That's really what its about for me because It's just like They believe this stuff And they do these rituals and so on Because they work Yes! It works for them You know produces results into me like anything

54:33 if you're talking about magic or synchronicism, or religion and mysticism or whatever. To me it always comes down to what are the results? What are the tangible results here because you can have your fine feelings and anything can sort of inspire those fine feelings right? Those warm fuzzies that you get under certain conditions in religious context a lot of things can duplicate that effect but the results to me like okay This is crazy. You think it's crazy, but you probably won't think it's crazy when I show you that it has been going on for more than 40 years now." So what are you gonna do? Right and let me loop in a little bit more because this Liz Frazier thread really was of a popular episode with that we did and there have been things added to the stack woven throughout pretty much every interview we've done since and there's a little more here so

55:32 You've done this deep dive on shepherd sacrifice symbolism and its connection to Liz Frazier. We talked about the rapper Little Peep's death, and how the Cocktoo Twins released an album on November 1st with the lyrics, peep-peep-bow, peep-peep-bow repeatedly. And November first was Little Peeps birthday. Well we have another shepherds sacrifice in this girl Little Bow Weep who was cut from the same cloth as little Pete tortured drug addict tattooed from head to toe. I don't know if you found much more than that archetypical connection, but the fact that she did cover a Linkin Park song and Chester Bennington was clearly part of all this too... That's also strange! This weird thread keeps dragging people down especially people who self-reference other victims of it they become victims themselves yeah

56:29 On one level, you could look at it like on a psychological level and the power of suggestion and so on. But when you have all these people who are oblivious to the symbolism but still become subjected to it, victimized by it or whatever... And then you go back again to the ancient world and you just see this kind of symbolism recur, you know especially with these dying rising gods. You know what I'm saying? Like these vegetation gods and so on Addison Adonis and so on And the love goddess of music in war who has the shepherd boy consort right this whole constellation of symbols and archetypes you just have to realize that it's like this is part of the human condition and what we see now

57:27 we sort of had like, you know what I call a backstop. It's like the backstop of the Christian or Christendom or the Christian world where it was like no don't even think about that kind of stuff because if you even think about it really be tempted by the devil and so on. So in some ways we were rendered ignorant of And in some archetypes, in some of these archetypal returns for instance this whole return of the galley. The eunuch, the aggressive eunuchs that we're seeing today We were unprepared for it. We were unprepared for just how everything that was seen reemerge was very much part of like imperial Rome where It almost seems like the id was more unleashed you know? It didn't have this sort

58:25 hand pressing down on, you know from the church and state. So when you talk about little Bo Peep and Little Bo Wee they really do seem like twins right? I mean they seem like... And I gotta tell ya this is gonna sound a bit of a diversion but to me it almost seems like Both those kids, I'm sure raised on the internet. Grew up with the internet didn't know another world spent all their times indoors and social media and Instagram stuff just basically looking into a mirror but it distorted mirror because social media offers us this distorted mirror And it almost reminds me of Moloch you know like we don't recognize it as such but we're sacrificing our children to this machine

59:20 to this machine of, you know, this Moloch machine where in the olden days people would just sacrifice their children because they thought they would gain a good harvest or become rich or desirable lover and so on. And when you look at these individuals who aren't like the most hardy specimens that you can imagine it really does start to remind me sickly children being exposed, you know the Greeks and the Romans and so on or the Canaanites, Phoenicians, Carthaginians sacrificing their children on these tofits these furnaces. And the furnace to me today in so many different ways is social media and so on

1:00:17 What we saw in the ancient world was like this breakdown of gender roles and gender identities, seeing that again today. I think that when you talk about the siren and the mermaid symbolism it's so obviously tied up in this whole idea of ambiguity and dual identity trans organization in the UK calls itself mermaid. So I mean, I think that the mermaid symbolism is very much tied up into this but I gotta also tell you particularly when you look at those two figures and figures like them there's this whole idea of Harry Potter and X-Men and all the superhero stuff where it becomes so tangible You watch these shows in these movies and just feel like its there Like your almost there

1:01:05 But what do I need to do? What do I need to become better than human, to become post-human?" And it's like nothing else seems to work except for the whole trans thing. That's why I say that we don't have this whole trans movement without geek culture becoming so ubiquitous and drenching us in these archetypes but also drenching us in this idea—this transhumanist idea—that human isn't good enough, nature isn't good enough we need to transcend that. We need to rise above that, right? And I think that when you look at like the siren symbolism... Like the siren in the ancient stories was like the beautiful song that caused the sailors to be dashed on the rocks! Right?! And i think that's the same thing. I mean, I think all this geek culture and escapism and anime particularly anime and manga

1:02:09 because everything is so fluid as a whole, but it's a siren song. Like I really do believe that it isn't like a siren song now because it's causing all these young people to mutilate themselves irreversibly mutilate themselves to become slaves too big pharma right? Because they need this medication for the rest of their lives and so on And it is a siren song, you know what I mean? And if you look at both Little Peep and Little Bo Weep. It's like they were disfiguring themselves with all these tattoos and so on right? They were just figuring their bodies not structurally but cosmetically disfiguring themselves. And chemically with the drugs! Exactly right?! So i think this whole idea of like disfiguring yourself because... You hate yourself because

1:03:02 Captain Marvel or you're not the Avengers, or you're not Harry Potter. Or are you not? I don't know the Powerpuff Girls. You name it! It's had this incredible negative knock on effect that...I anticipated how superhero culture would become mainstream when i started writing Our Gods Were Spandex back in 2005 and this was before Dark Knight and this is before Iron Man when stuff really took off. It's kind of like saying this is going to become the mainstream culture But I was like, well where does it go from there? And that's why I sort of stumbled in the book because I couldn't figure out where it was going to proceed to other than this whole idea of transhumanism. You know at the time when I was naive I thought was real but because transhuman isn't real then we have this trans-other thing you know We have this other situation and it really is a cult but it's also a cult that calls to mind you know Kybel or Sibeli in Latin right and Sybil

1:04:10 and Sibeli seem to share the same root because it's like these women in caves. And I just think we're just into so much trouble, and you talk about The Great Reset... It's like, I think we need The Great Reboot! You know? I think we need to reboot everything because we've been experimenting on our children for over 30 years now, and the results are disastrous. Not only in our children but our culture because You know, we send them to these horrible schools where they're taught all this nonsense. All this toxic nonsense and then they get out into the real world and they don't know how to do anything And this is one of things when I talk about collapse This is something that's been watching for a long time

1:04:56 a system is only as effective as the people who work inside it. So you're asking me about Ukraine, why is Ukraine such a total clusterfuck? Well, because the people in the White House are mostly like these young activist types who all of the older people are terrified of and don't know how to do anything. Not only they know not how to do anything but they're also lazy. They're incredibly lazy They're lazy and entitled, and have no tangible skill set. This is what really worries me. This is so much more prevalent on the coast than it is say in certain like heartland places where you go to school to learn things. You don't go to school to study gender theory or something. Yeah totally So we are just in so much trouble And I gotta tell you right now...and I know this will sound very pessimistic but I don't think democracy can survive

1:05:55 these generations. I just don't think it's going to happen, I don't think democracy can survive people who vote who have no concept of the issues at hand but are just totally manipulated by Hollywood and big tech to vote for their party. I don't think it can survive that and I probably said this on your show, we need people who are gonna get up in the cherry pickers during a hurricane to fix the phone lines or the cable lines, or the power lines. We're running out of those people. Right? You really are and the difference between a successful enterprise and a non-successful enterprise is the people but it isn't just the people so it isn't just the fact that we've got all these like poorly educated or miseducated lazy entitled woke idiots but you know the problem is also like

1:06:52 say a successful startup and non-successful startup, it's almost like the non-successful startup is 99% there. But it's just that 1%, that's too far to go right? And to get to that extra one percent, It's like whole sacrifice and working around the clock and putting aside your interests to put everything you have into this but also educating yourself for real not just indoctrinating yourself And we're running out of those people. And now, we're starting to see what they call the unicorns that were billion-dollar evaluated companies. They were all failing one after the other and because of the whole issue with gas prices—I mean Uber and Lyft and all these shopping

1:07:44 Instacart where people are driving around for you, right? I mean people can't afford to drive around for you anymore. Yeah postmates and that stuff yeah i mean this is what i've been seeing this That everything is getting hit in the stock market obviously and big tech is really getting hit but like all these kind of like laziness Things like i don't want to do my own food shopping so i'm going to call instacart or whatever These are the companies that are getting the hardest hit. And like everybody thought Uber was going to be like the biggest thing, right? And like Uber is like circling the drain now so again fake hype we've been conditioned to believe hype I can't tell you how many conversations with normies where i just hear people just regurgitating what is clearly public relations or some sort of sales pitch or just some sort of political propaganda

1:08:39 They just scan the headlines and they don't read any deeper. And they certainly don't read anything that is outside the corporate media, and it's like we just can't exist with these people. We just can't! No, we can't I mean that. The system... The US i think is going to break up yeah and I've thought so for a long time because it's too different you know? It has become so much more polarized now right? People are just hating each other But you go on Twitter, right? And you think like all these people are educated and they work at these think tanks and universities and big magazines and networks. I mean, these people are the adults, right? These people are the grownups. You read it and it's like you're stuck in 4chan except that they just hate somebody else. These people talk like children, like grown-ass men, middle aged men

1:09:34 They just go on these like woke rants. And part of it is because they're terrified not to, you know? Because like oh I'm a middle-aged white guy in this completely woke industry you know it's like if I'm not the wokest of all my six figure income has gone! You understand what I'm saying? Yeah that's why you've called it a virus Oh yeah...I've got a lot of notes on Woke that we haven't even gotten through yet. I don't know if you want to get into them. I can go on all day listen I mean when would he start? Like started at two on the riverside then you can see the counter for how long we've been actually recording so we're a little bit past an hour but this is going to be along first hour because I wanted to throw another log on the Liz Frazier fire just to wrap up that thing

1:10:20 But if the new EP Sun Signature is pulling you in, this other loop with Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins pulls me in because it pulls in my birthday March 25th. And just like The Little Bo Weep Chick these artists are always referring to each other maybe subconsciously but Taylor Hawkins did a piece for Rolling Stone Five songs I wish I wrote and one was so real by Jeff Buckley. Then we have that episode of the monkeys with Jeff Buckley singing song to the siren, we talked about that before and how important it is to this whole saga. And that was March 25th 1968 Taylor Hawkins died on March 25th of this year someone always goes down on these dates with references to the previously deceased artists and

1:11:09 a Liz Frazier release to match it. And let's add more water deaths connected to this, you say that the day before Tim Buckley premiered Song To The Siren on The Monkees air linguist flight 712 crashed into the Irish sea and the same day this Mortal Coils song to the siren was released Cal Flight 007 crashed into the Sea of Japan Very creepy stuff, man. Planes don't crash into the sea all that often so that is a wild coincidence Sea swallow me yeah Yeah, well flight double-oh seven was shot down by the Russians That's the whole Cold War thing you know and I find it interesting You know when I talked about some signature being announced hours before The start of the Ukrainian war right? And then you talk about song to the siren

1:12:03 And then the Cochrane Twins did an EP that was released on the 7th of November. That was the day of Able Archer, which we nearly had a nuclear exchange because these war games that NATO was holding and so on... So yeah it's funny how this stuff just seems to well up back in the consciousness because it's like I gotta tell you something! I'm old right? I mean I'm an old man right?! And 40 years does not seem like a very long time to me anymore, and certainly not 20 years. Right? And time just doesn't seem to work the way it used to. So it's just like synchro is time right so it's like you don't want seems like this is time mysticism in some ways right and we talk about Taylor Hawkins well still Harkins another key I mean

1:12:51 I'm not entirely sure. So he died and hours later, the Colombian medical examiner is saying that he had all this stuff in his system and it's like well how did you get the drug results back that fast? It seemed awfully sudden to determine that he had all these painkillers and stuff and benzodiazepines in his system. It just seemed a bit too quick of a turnaround time for a blood test, blood tox screen as they call it. probably died because of this, what I like to call now the stabby wabby. You know what I'm saying? The little prick you know what I'm talking about

1:13:33 I don't know if i do the stabby wabby. The stabby wabby you know? Ah okay yeah, the uh the jab some might say Yeah well and here's the thing so You hear about a lot of people like athletes and so on sort of just dropping dead or heart attacks Bieber's face! And his wife's blood clots Oh god Nothing to see here folks A lot of people who've died, you know, people like soccer players who are just basically running back and forth for 90 minutes. Your heart rate gets really elevated so if you have clots or you have some sort of coagulating issue it's going to be exacerbated by all the strenuous physical activity You know as a drummer that is physically demanding job particularly in a band like that It's playing two hours a night So I personally believe with Taylor Hawkins

1:14:31 It was that and then they sort of concocted this whole idea of like, you know He's back in the drugs to sort of cover it up. But then you know when I talk about the whole metaphysical aspect of this You know like that friggin movie studio 666, you know when? In the trailer for the movie, a demonically possessed Dave Grohl kills Taylor Hawkins. Right? So it's just like whoa! And I know a lot of people have talked about that. Even Bob Saget they say well he fell and hit his head in his hotel room so what caused him to fall? Yeah... There is a lot of weird stuff going on and a lot of damage control i would say Well see this is when I talk about the complexity

1:15:17 So I'm not even going to try to speculate with the whole agenda behind all that COVID stuff. Everybody's got their theories, right? Yes But here is the problem...I don't think it was very well thought out. I really don't and I think this issue with excess mortality and now they're trying to get kids to take these things you know in all these sort of hoops that go through and these contortions, these poses, these contorted poses they need to assume in order to explain all this stuff away. It's just too much particularly when like the propagandists now are people coming out of these Ivy League colleges you know when they're going into communications their heads filled with gender theory and queer theory and post-structuralism and post modernism critical race theory I mean these people are not intelligent

1:16:21 and they're programmed, right? They're just effectively programmed by the system. And they don't know how to deal with crisis. They don't know how to deal with setbacks because they grew up rich. They grew up incredibly coddled, incredibly pampered. They have no experience with real crisis or trauma or even like inconvenience. You understand what I'm saying? These people are not fit to purpose. They're just not up to the job and as these crises start to escalate, these people are just going to start melting down and we're gonna see like people just leaving en masse these government departments and bureaucracies because they're not gonna be able to deal with the stress and they're just gonna walk away without that free funny money to keep bribing them there's gonna be no incentive for them to stay

1:17:15 It's not good. Yes, it's not good I agree with you and as we're pulling this all together What kind of arc do you think? We're looking at for the totality of this collapse of Empire let's call it because you know, I've done shows a couple years ago talking about supply chain crises and I think we started a previous interview, a few years ago with this is the apocalypse and i sometimes see comments where people say there's a lot of doom and gloom on your show which actually thank you know today we really threaded the needle between like what the world's not ending the rest of this bullshit is ending.

1:17:51 But people, I guess they hear guests talk on a show like this and it sounds like it's coming tomorrow. And then two years later we're still talking about it. I mentioned Agenda 2030 at the beginning because that's when they want to accomplish their goals. That's eight years from now! So can you help us give some perspective to this collapse? What kind of time arc do you think we're looking at to be reasonable? You know, one thing I always say is that real change is slow and gradual. And because we're so invested in all these narratives like Hollywood narratives, intelligent narratives where all the boring stuff has cut out right? We expect an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie to be taking place outside our door

1:18:38 And that's not the way it worked. It's not the way it ever worked, you know? You had situations... You've had major wars going on where like people a couple miles from the battlefields have no idea there was war at all! Do you see what I mean? Things happen but the rhythms of life persist right? What I see is happening is that the current ruling structure, the current ruling class what I call the Rockefeller Republicans have been in the midst just getting their asses kicked by the fates. You know what I mean? The fates have turned on them, you know? The gods have turned on them for they're hubris and now they're dealing with all sorts of nemesis right? And they are in the midst of getting their asses kicked. I think that's gonna persist. We are going to suffer for a lot of it. I think we start seeing these people lash out a lot. It is mostly verbal now but there will be some

1:19:41 nonverbal lashing out to come. But I think what we're going to see, I mean, I think this country is gonna break up. I really do and I thought that for a long time and it's gonna break up into sort of regional blocks where it'll be almost like a looser kind of confederation rather than a federal government. There are a lot of people who think that like say for instance the middle part of this country is going to form a new country with the center of Canada Alberta and Saskatchewan, and so on. That these provinces of Canada are very alienated from the Justin Trudeau Canada and want to get out. So we could see that. We could see this like huge new country forming of the Plains States and then also the heartland of the Canadian Federation I think the war is

1:20:43 an absolute clusterfuck. And I think that what we're going to see, and we're starting to see now—I mean, we literally started seeing even at the Joe Biden level is that the people who were running this shit show are going to try and disentangle themselves from it, and they can start pointing their fingers at each other. It's going badly. It's gonna continue to go badly. Most serious observers said from beginning that it wasn't ever gonna do well I don't know if, you know people are talking about Taiwan and China. I mean Taiwan is very lucky because it has you know it's basically a natural fortress It's very hard to invade because of the Straits of Taiwan there But I think the woke There's already forming a very huge woke backlash And I think that the last straw was all this grooming stuff in the schools I think that was so like a lot of people said

1:21:45 the hell with this. Yeah, enough is enough. You know thereafter our kids now forget it because they always go after the kids I really wish that the LGB community, the gay community would disentangle itself from the autogynephilia community you know which sort of calls itself the trans community but isn't really trans it's something else. There has been people who are saying like dump the T, you know what I mean? Yeah. Dave Chappelle had a bit about that that was pretty interesting. Yeah and you know the T in the Q it's funny if you look at the pride flag it used to just be the rainbow and all of this other stuff like queer theory is starting to force its encroaching It's like you're going to have this little sliver of the rainbow in a couple years because there are going to be all these other quote unquote identities

1:22:41 But I think there's going to be huge backlash and it will get ugly. That is what I've always been afraid of because fascism, they are always fascists lurking at the margins. There has always been a fascist element that has been marginal but when fascists gain power it is when this insane woke why my republic type of left just completely loses its mind and gets completely drunk with power, which is that they are right now. And I hate to see it but I'm at the age right now where there's nothing I can do about it. It's inevitable you know what I mean? It's gonna get ugly, it's gonna get bad people are gonna get hurt who were innocent but unfortunately the way it always seems to work with these things The pendulum has to swing to the extremes

1:23:37 particularly in this environment, the superheated social media environment. I think it's going to get bad but unfortunately the woke have nobody to blame but themselves they really have nobody to blame but themselves you know particularly like the grooming community of the woke and that and that's really what they are i mean if you're taking kids aside and teaching them about gender theory and telling them not to tell their parents. I mean, that's all class—you know showing them pornography telling them not to tell their parents which is happening in schools today those are like classic hallmarks of grooming you know what i'm saying so what else are you going to call him it's like oh you're an alt-right nazi it's like no! You're a groomer

1:24:21 I'm not an alt-right Nazi. I fucking hate alt right Nazis, you're a groomer You can't weasel out of this that's what you are Yes, but like I said it's gonna get ugly and people getting hurt And it sucks But I don't see any way around her right now Right Maybe it's just human nature maybe this isn't the internet maybe its human nature but your cooler heads never seem to prevail until the two constantly warring sides have worn each other out on the battlefield. So, yeah I think things are gonna get very rocky and you know we're having all this like these food production facilities catching fire magically all over the country that's concerning absolutely it feels like an attack people won't even recognize well you know what i sometimes wonder

1:25:21 So, you know we all know who the obvious... You know the people who don't want us to eat meat and want us to bugs are the obvious culprits right? Yes. But sometimes I wonder like what if it is like Russian spies because since they control the world fertilizer trade right What better way to fight against their oppressors than to starve them out Right I think it's worth considering. It's so crazy how many people think that everything is just going to be on the surface, that there are not all kinds of games within games and under-the-radar stuff happening and espionage... That's the story of warfare and empires but yet you talk to people and make a suggestion

1:26:16 And they're like, they just can't even comprehend it because they didn't see it on the news. And it's like come on man you gotta think deeper than that! It is quite crazy but we are going to be talking about this stuff for a long time I'm sure. Well I mean just one more thing I want to say Agenda 2030 Great Reset these are all just pipe dreams old men who read too much sci-fi these are their pipe dreams and like I said I mean one of the biggest problems they have is that they just don't have the people to carry these things out, particularly when they face resistance. You know when you have weak entitled crybabies in positions of power they really don't handle stress very well they don't handle opposition very well so I just

1:27:05 Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but I gotta tell you. I don't see it happening because look what happened to build back better. Remember build back better? Everybody was saying build back better, build back better. What the hell happened to that? You know what I mean? And now people they might have even alluded to this in The Intercept article Everybody's admitting that that was just a total disaster, you know? That never even left the port. You know it sank at the docks basically and why did it sink at the docks because the people running the Rockefeller Republican Party aka The Democrats People running all these agencies and departments And so on they're not bright They're not tough and they can't deal with stress

1:27:57 And COVID's made them very, very lazy. So I just see nothing but bad luck coming for...you know it's like musical chairs right? The Rockefeller Republicans were sort of driven out of the party in the 60s by the whole Goldwater Reagan faction but then they decided well you know they were fighting to gain back power. And they said, well why don't we just take over the Democrats? Because that party's a mess you know, let's take that party over! But they didn't realize it, one of the reasons why the Democratic Party was a mess is that it's not really a party its parties, sort of this conglomeration of all these different parties with all these people who essentially hate each other and they just hate middle America worse but

1:28:44 it gets to the point they're not going to be able to handle stress. The media is fucked, no seriously I mean all these companies have lost half their value in the past year Netflix has lost 70% of their value in the past year And Netflix was, that was sort of like the showpiece for woke capitalism. Right? And this sinking faster than anyone now and they put all this woke crap on people hated it. People left the service in droves and now they've lost 70% of their value if you invested in Netflix back a couple years ago You've been wiped out! Your gone your money is just gone and God forbid, you know, you have Netflix in your 401k It's just gone its over

1:29:34 So, the raising interest rates again. Millennials and Gen Zers just... I'm a Gen X. I grew up in the 70s well 70's and 80s. I was very aware from a very young age And you know I remember what the 70s was like You know? I remember government cheese food stamps all this kind of stuff I don't think most people your age or younger have any experience with that. They don't have any experience with like real major want And I don't know if they're going to be able to deal with it. Well, people should start armoring up themselves right now. That's what I would say. We probably have a long tail on this collapse and you got time to grow some fruit trees and get yourself some land and get out of the city? Get out of the city! Apps everybody... anybody listening if your in a city, GET OUT! Any City! ANY CITY! GET OUT! Cities are gonna be the absolute worst place to be

1:30:39 in the next five to 10 years. I agree, it's going to be worse than the 70s. I remember like the 70s when New York and Detroit and Philadelphia all these major cities were like and they're all reverting back to that meme if you're in a city get out of this city! I'm not kidding, I am deadly serious about this get out If you can homestead, do it. It's just a tough go. It's a tough life. It is but having nothing and never being happier is a tougher life I think and that's the life that's being presented to us so... I think that the multipolar world is going to be a good thing. You know? I think when we're not wasting all our money trying to enforce our will militarily on the entire planet, I think we'll have a lot more money

1:31:40 to fix all the bridges and the subway tunnels, and all that good stuff. It's going to take some pain to get there but I'm not a pessimistic person. I'm always like a long-run optimist you know? And i think a lot of it just has to do with the fact that I'm 55 years old and I've just kind of seen a lot you know? And I see the cycles...I see how things repeat and I've studied history so nobody can tell you that things are going to be a-okay for the next few years than not, particularly in the next two years. But on the other end of that I think things are gonna correct themselves and we're gonna sort of return to you know i'm not saying we're gonna return to the 50's or 40's or whatever but I think we're going to return to world more like a multipolar world where people make things at home and grow things at home

1:32:47 peasants down in El Salvador to grow all their food for them. Yes, I agree with that! I'd say maybe you could use the term sobering up we're going to be sobering up from all these lofty unrealistic unsustainable ideas that we've been living off of and uh... You know the corporate technocratic teat is running dry and so we're gonna have to stop suckling at it quite so much but I appreciate your insight as always. As usual, there's just so much content that we talked about talking about today that we can barely pack in the cliff notes to some of this stuff but you've blogged for so long connected all the synchromistic dots and you provide great service to humanity. Thank You! I'm glad you finally did put the Patreon together because you should be compensated for all that work and it seems to be going really well and has allowed you to do these deep

1:33:42 Live streams now. It's really great I hope people will hop in there if they want more of what you do anything else to leave them with um Get outside fair enough go outside listen to this outside fresh air sunshine work wonders They really do yeah, it's good medicine take care yourselves and love people Yeah And hold the people who you love close to you sounds like well it sounds like a greeting card but The reality of it is far more powerful than you can imagine. Right? Well, I know you've been freelancing for Hallmark but you got a lot of irons in the fire man! Yeah right?! I do appreciate you. You're the best. I am so lucky to be able to have you back as often as i can because some of my favorite

1:34:37 interviews to do are talking to you and preparing for them is a lot of fun because your work is so vast and enjoyable, but keep up the great work and take care out there. Thank you sir! There it is guys The Man The Myth The Legend Chris Knowles coming in hot on Lucky Number 11 always with more notes than we can get too but hey conversations are organic You can only do so much Lots of little things left on the table we didn't even get into Bruce Willis in his retirement over a pretty odd neurological condition and the career sinks he's had with the larger web of the siren. Obviously is first big movie was moonlighting with civil shepherd born in Memphis of course,

1:35:21 But Bruce retired from acting recently because of a rare condition called aphasia, a condition that was defined in a paper November 17th 2017 Jeff Buckley's birthday. Same date as a PlayStation game called Apocalypse starring Bruce Willis that came out years ago and the syncs with his career really do keep going but this condition he has inhibits the ability to understand speech and language, which also sounds very Liz Frazier-y if you've heard her lyrics. She's known for being notoriously hard to decipher, but go check out Chris' Bruce Willis post if you want the full rundown. Maybe Hollywood itself is just such a dark place that most people have some sort of downfall? But more specifically it starts to feel like what an actor chooses to represent—the themes, the characters—maybe it can all come together to alter one's fate

1:36:20 But the overall message to me was less dark and dreary than it could be. It depends on how much stock you put in the artificial things I guess, because artificial things are collapsing! Did you buy into the false promises of The Big Machine? Because it's going to be a sad day when you realize that was all a sham... He's right though that we are here for these times, so let's be creative as to how we navigate them. And maybe America does have a good opportunity to find its way if we can focus on the right things We didn't make all the points we might have about woke culture Maybe some people are exhausted by that conversation But Chris certainly called out the get woke go broke perspective before I heard anyone else saying that

1:37:05 And just look how bad these companies are doing. In some cases worse than they've ever done! Another great presentation he did under the hidden and plain right banner is on the Goddard Tunnel, and I think we've all seen that creepy opening ceremony at this point but in terms of it being a ritual one aspect i thought was interesting was the QAnon shaman as a representation of Pan which we see in that ceremony But the Goddard tunnel thing was carried out on 6-1. And what's the date everyone is up in arms with that features the QAnon Shaman? 1-6, of course! So there it is forward and back cause an effect There's a lot more to it but that layer and the date pretty interesting so much stuff but that is the show if you liked the first hour You know you would like the second

1:37:56 We have so many great full episodes in the archive. Get in there! Today we talked about Chris's Stranger Things Theory of Everything, of course we had to on Lucky Number 11 it's a shame that took us an hour to get there but we also talked about Dr Bender Wonder Woman and Dr Bender's crimes against children that gets pretty dark. We talked about Damian Eccles' The West Memphis Three High Magic and Druidic Bog Sacrifice pretty much as dark as it gets but that fits right into Stranger Things because that new character who's a little erratic and is kind of framed for a situation is based on Damian Eccles. We talked about the Washington Post, Wokeness and Collapse and that whole little dust up that happened... The hierarchy of birth privilege as opposed to competency And the strange ongoing story of Ezra Miller, the guy who plays The Flash

1:38:56 Or did, because I think that is all getting burnt to the ground right now. If you know then you know! But Free 7 Day Trial one of the most convenient and friction-free systems in podcasting take a few seconds and join the club if you find this show to be anything close to special And you'll be in awe of all the extra stuff that comes out week after week in these full episodes I've never heard someone say, you know what? You don't really add that much to the second hour. I wasn't really missing anything it's always a surprise A pleasant surprise as to how much content is really packed in there but you just don't know what you don't know! You don't know what your missing if you've never heard of full episode. You can pay with card cash or crypto i dont care and you can use PayPal by signing up through Patreon as well

1:39:44 Also, check out Chris's Patreon if you really want to get some deep exposés on all sorts of things. He blows my mind every week! But that's it for me I'm currently on the road trying to pump out one more show and it seems like we just did it. I so wish Chris could have joined me and Gordon in Austin but hey...I had my chance when they were both at the Aeon Byte event in Mexico. C'est la vie next time I guess But take care of you and yours, it is getting hard out there for a pimp. I've done my part your move ritual web weavers woke virus super spreaders and entitled technocratic tyrants. Your fucking. Sometimes when I get down, I eat a bunch of corporate junk that makes you fat in industry. Discipline don't have to face it wrong got an addiction to the digital technology

1:41:19 And then I try to quit and but it's too sick discipline is no discipline. I don't have to face the big conspiracy in every one of them

1:43:02 And that is another show complete! Remember, as much as you enjoyed this which is just the free first hour I hope you'll become a Plus Member to hear the full two-hour interviews. You also can engage with other Plus Members in the comments and the forums and you'll find your answer to one of the most common questions I get which is where can I find those cover songs that you use at the end of the show? Well they are free downloads for Plus Members too And without Plus Members, I can't hire the occasional musician to bring these odd cover song ideas to fruition. Plus members are how I'm able to do what I do without ads and without the big machine being on my back! We can fit so much more into a two-hour interview and I'd do my best to make it worth your time and money." The conversation only gets deeper, weirder, and more controversial in that private hour. How could it not be the way things are going?

1:43:53 But the best way to sign up is at TheHigherSideChats.com, where new first-time subscribers always get a free 7 day trial because I'm just that confident! There's no PayPal on the website but if you need to use PayPal then sign up through Patreon and you get all of the same episodes Our website is a credit or debit system, but you can also scope out the other options like a few various cryptos. Cash or check mailed to the P.O box and I'll even barter with most people if you have your own business and produce something nice that my wife or kid or taste buds might like But the architects of consensus reality have made it clear that these themes and topics aren't really welcome on the main stage. And so this is how we secure a little counterculture corner for ourselves, and I hope you'll join PLUS because that's the only way it works!

1:44:42 Besides, you can cancel any time right on your profile page. The most common concern I hear is people just being unsure if THC Plus will work with their podcast app and the answer is probably yes! But if not we have several high-level app recommendations for whatever phone you use and the website is made for mobile too We're trained to tip a waitress for bringing us a sandwich, but that tip doesn't give you access to a second sandwich. Really I'm not asking for any more than that and think I offer better service. Come get your second serving of tasty conspiracy goodness in exchange for that small token of your appreciation. Beyond that let it also be known we have grown and survived as long as we have by word-of-mouth

1:45:25 I don't care so much about social media likes or follows, but tell the right people about THC. And not just listeners but the high level figures who are better suited to sit down with me than most other hosts. And if you can help me with any of these things, I can work to bring you better shows which is just a win-win for both us! Informative, entertaining and action packed It also never hurts to thank a guest you liked if you have the time either. We want them to know people are listening so they're willing to come back down the road too! Thank YOU for spending some time with me and cheers to a better tomorrow!
