About this episode

Isaac Weishaupt of IlluminatiWatcher.com reveals how the pursuit of immortality links ancient occult practices to modern transhumanism. Google Engineering Director Ray Kurzweil serves as a focal point for this technological acceleration, which Weishaupt argues is the digital fulfillment of the philosopher’s stone. The transition into the Age of Aquarius is framed as the Aeon of Horus, a period predicted by Aleister Crowley where technology and global consciousness are weaponized to achieve individual godhood.

The music industry functions as a primary vehicle for this agenda, utilizing sympathetic magic and ritualistic symbolism to influence the masses. Weishaupt details how the Genovese crime family allegedly financed the first hip hop hits, leading to a genre shift from the empowerment of Public Enemy to the CIA-linked crack cocaine narratives of Freeway Ricky Ross. Specific claims link Jay-Z’s Blueprint trilogy to the destruction of the Twin Towers and the construction of One World Trade Center as a ritual to collapse duality. Further analysis covers the death of Lisa Left Eye Lopez in Honduras, the use of alter egos like Nicki Minaj’s Roman Zolanski, and the symbolic significance of Kesha’s dental jewelry and Lady Gaga’s Fame perfume.

From the mock sacrifice of the Catholic Mass to the Cremation of Care at Bohemian Grove, this episode explores the energy exchange of death and the Law of Words. Isaac Weishaupt provides a deep dive into his book Sacrifice: Magic Behind the Mic, while the host shares a chilling personal anecdote regarding a Los Angeles producer’s mansion. The show concludes with a look at Lupe Fiasco as a rare example of poetic merit in a manipulated cultural landscape.

Transhumanism, Ray Kurzweil, and the Occult Quest for Immortality

The pursuit of immortality serves as the central link between ancient occult practices and modern transhumanism. Google Engineering Director Ray Kurzweil is cited as a key figure advocating for the transfer of human consciousness into digital formats. This technological acceleration is viewed as the fulfillment of long-standing esoteric goals previously sought through alchemy and the philosopher's stone.

00:04 In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the Fireside Chats. His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times but we're far from 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration We offer a fresh conversation! These are the Higher Side Chats. And we know the powerful puppet masters of this prison planet have always maintained a tight grip on full spectrum dominance, and to do this with such precision you gotta have many different campaigns and control schemes with flavors for every race religion age and gender. And they do! Today were going to be looking again at the manipulation of hip hop and to large extent the black community in this campaign that's extended in recent years to take over almost

01:05 all of the mainstream music industry and pop culture. It's a wild ride, and today's guest Isaac Weishaupt is just the man to take it with! He has been an independent conspiracy researcher for over 20 years he is the man behind illuminatiwatcher.com and his previous book A Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory and now he has a new book out that details this musical thread called Sacrifice Magic Behind The Mic I'm pumped to have him here. Isaac Wimann welcome to THC Hey what's up Greg and everybody Extremely happy to be here. This is my go-to resource for podcast information this is one one of the best conspiracy podcasts on the planet. So I appreciate everything you guys do. Oh man, too kind! I appreciate that and it is awesome to have you here. I really enjoyed this latest book Pop Culture Conspiracies and Magic are two of my favorite topics and you cover them both really well and i think its perfect timing on this books release because it seems like now more than ever whether we're talking about national halftime shows or award shows with the latest A-listers music videos

02:06 There seems to be so much more of an in-your-face magical property and aggressive use of symbolism than there used to be. Or maybe I'm just getting better at seeing it, but does it seem to be flaunted more to you in recent years? Yeah, y'know there's...there's an accelerated agenda recently and from the research that I've been able to compile, I believe that is because these Occult belief practitioners and magic practitioners, for years, centuries and forever they've been talking about pursuing this goal of immortality and becoming God. And, you know they didn't know how they were going to do it. They were looking for a fountain of youth or the philosopher's stone and magical elixirs and all these things until recently with the advent of technology they perhaps weren't sure how they were going to achieve this immortality. Now that we've got technology increasing at this exponential rate You've got people like the head of Google Engineering Ray Kurzweil who is

03:08 who definitely knows this stuff, talking about being able to transfer entire consciousness into a digital format and uploading it into a consciousness cloud and living forever. You know, this is the Akal agenda in a nutshell is to be immortal. So they've been looking for this forever and now they're like oh wow here it is we're within arm's reach of achieving this and now they're really accelerating the agenda and throwing the symbolism out there and trying to get us all involved in participating in this transhumanistic agenda Yeah, that's actually what I was gonna ask you if transhumanism if it's connected in any way because it seems like if that's their goal we'd see emerging of both pop culture and transhumanism. Yeah the transhuman agenda is part and parcel of the whole overall agenda And I talk about that in my newer book The Sacrifice Magic Behind The Mic where I go into the hip-hop conspiracy specifically

Aleister Crowley, Aeon of Horus, and the Age of Aquarius

British occultist Aleister Crowley predicted the transition of mankind into the Aeon of Horus, a period characterized by self-realization and individual godhood. This era aligns with the Age of Aquarius, utilizing technology and global consciousness to achieve godlike status. The transition involves a multifaceted approach including Satanism and the New Age movement, with historical ties to the worship of the deity Moloch.

aleister crowley· aeon of horus· age of aquarius· moloch· self-realization

04:09 And we talk about how the British occultist Alastair Crowley, who most of listeners might be aware of who that is or have heard of him. He comes from a long line of these occult people who are pushing this certain agenda and it takes different forms you've got like Satanism and pagan stuff and magic and his purpose... His will is what they call it. They call the will like Alastair Crowley always said do with thou wilt You know, a reference to finding your purpose in this universe. Well he believed his purpose in this universe was to usher in this Aeon of Horus is what he called it and that's the new age of man and

04:50 to give you a brief background on that. He believed there was these three stages of mankind, there was the Aeon of Osiris and the Aeon of Isis and now he ushered in this Aeon of Horus which has attributes of being the time of self-realization and child worship and it's it's the time of the individual god and you can see this play out with technology like YouTube and you know, you've got a whole show called Tosh.0 where you see these young people doing these stunts that hurt themselves or they're doing crazy things and they do this to try to go viral because then they can be little mini gods of their own universe right? Right! Digital gods Exactly And all these things support this idea

05:41 Our cultures obsession with the youth and you know we obsess over when these child stars become eighteen and. You know, like that recent Alex from Target viral thing. Like what a stupid thing and it's... It went viral and we're just obsessed with kids and shaving off hair to look younger and people doing plastic surgery to look like younger and all this stuff Well that's all Aleister Crowley's prediction was that he was going to usher this new age in And part of this new age is It bleeds over into this age of Aquarius. The whole thing is very complex, it's kind of difficult to convey in a few minutes but... Of course! To try and be brief about it the age of Aquarius is a time of freedom technology and global consciousness

06:34 the middle of all that and the New Age movement is one of these, you know it's a multifaceted approach like I was talking about earlier. You got like Satanism and magic and you've also got the New Age movement And they're all different avenues of getting to the same end goal of everyone becoming their own God The age of Aquarius is using technology to become godlike And this Aeon of Horus and this Age of Aquarius has ties to the past with sacrificing people to this Moloch deity. Right!

CHAPTER 03 / 21 Discussion

Astrological Ages, Hermetic Mystery Schools, and the Illuminati

Human history is framed through astrological ages, moving from the Age of Taurus and the worship of Moloch to the current transition into the Age of Aquarius. The Hermetic principle of "as above, so below" connects celestial patterns to material events on Earth. The Illuminati is described as a group operating behind the scenes to push humanity toward a specific spiritual path rooted in ancient Egyptian mystery schools.

hermeticism· astrological ages· moloch· illuminati· as above so below

07:12 there's all these different ages of man and you can see... Like, okay for example in the Bible we've got the different astrological ages that we moved through. And the age of Taurus which was when they worshipped Moloch this bull god and then Moses come down he shattered the golden bronze calf which is Moloch right? And he ushered in the next age which was the Age of Aries which was the Ram And this was preceded the age of Pisces, which was Jesus, which is represented by the fish. And then next one is the Age of Aquarius, which is the water carrier and that's where we're headed into now Where we transcend from worshipping many gods to a single god to becoming gods or at least that what the belief system Is It's this idea that cosmos

08:11 and the stars, the patterns that we see up there are as above so below. That's the macrocosm in the stars plays out on Earth in the material realm and it all ties into this hermetic mystery schools of ancient Egypt and you know the Illuminati quote-unquote Illuminati is merely just a group of people who are pushing this agenda from behind the scenes. They believe in this and they've followed it for years, and they're...they believe they're doing us a favor by shoving us down this path."

Hip Hop History, Mafia Financing, and the Shift to Gangster Rap

Hip hop culture originated with four elements—rapping, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti—pioneered by Kool Herc in New York. The first mainstream hit, "Rapper's Delight," was reportedly financed by the Genovese crime family, marking an early manipulation of the genre. While the 1980s featured empowerment messages from groups like Public Enemy, the 1990s saw a transition toward gangster rap focused on drug sales and violence.

kool herc· rappers delight· genovese crime family· public enemy· gangster rap

08:49 Mm-hmm. Well said, man! I totally agree with that and let's back this up a little bit and go into the hip hop story a little bit because it's obviously a huge topic it spreads out into a lot of different areas And if we're gonna walk through this saga and the manipulation of the masses through pop culture music and the warping of hip hop Of course there is just a ton of interesting threads and detours But where would you start this story? What would you say are some of the first big moves on this particular chessboard Okay, so so in my book I start you out with because I know not everyone's into rap music and hip-hop. Mm-hmm I've been into it since I was a kid and That's part of the reason why I wrote this book is because I'm into conspiracy and I'm into hip hop I started out by giving a brief overview of

09:34 So anyone can pick up this book and catch up to where we are. So hip hop is a culture, and there's four elements. One is rapping, one is being a DJ, one is break dancing, and another one is graffiti. And it all started out when Kool Herc was in the day rooms at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in New York. And he started this idea of having a turntable with the DJ stuff and, you know back then the DJs would determine if a rapper was qualified enough to get on the mic and spit rhymes. Then you fast forward about 10 years and that's when the first mainstream hit for rap music came about and it was Rapper's Delight.

10:13 If you look at Rapper's Delight, that was financed by the Genovese crime family and the mafia. And the song itself was controversial because the rap community didn't embrace it because... You'll notice that the beat is just a looped beat running on tape there's no DJ involved in the whole thing and you know The people have been into this hip-hop thing for 10 years at that point, where like hey no you're doing it wrong. The DJ is like 50% of the music you know? Where's he at? So that was when we first saw a certain manipulation of the whole music and then fast forward through time in 80s we had the rise of Public Enemy and that was like a Black Empowerment, Black Panther type message

10:58 And then the Illuminati come along in the 90s and switch that over from black empowerment and rising up against the system to gangster rap of the 90s, where you started seeing messages of selling drugs, black on black violence. And that goes against what was the message up until that time. The gangsta rap It's still here to this day. So I think it was a gradual progression, but in the 90s with the gangster rap thing is when it really picked up and in the book I go through all these examples of different situations that happened with different rappers and like for instance

CHAPTER 05 / 21 Discussion

Freeway Ricky Ross, CIA Crack Cocaine, and Rapper Aliases

Freeway Ricky Ross claims the CIA funneled cocaine to him during the crack contra conspiracy, a life story later adopted as a persona by the rapper Rick Ross. This appropriation of criminal identities is viewed as a manipulation to limit the perceived options of inner-city youth to sports or drug dealing. The discussion links these personas to the "David Icke agenda," where societal institutions operate in reverse of their stated purposes.

freeway ricky ross· cia· rick ross· suge knight· crack contra conspiracy

11:41 Like, okay so like Freeway Ricky Ross he was on Alex Jones recently but he uh... Right. He was part of this whole crack contra conspiracy thing where the CIA was funneling cocaine over to him and another drug dealer and teaching them how to sell crack And through some ties here in there we can explore this idea that Suge Knight took this same financial source to get Tupac out of prison and you know what happened at Tupac So Right, and you mentioned Rick Ross. It's funny because I heard him on Joe Rogan a long time ago and i've actually been trying to get him on the show. I think he'd be a really great and unique guest and fit right into the conspiracy wheelhouse because yeah... He went to jail! He was one of the biggest crack dealers in LA and he was getting it straight from the CIA and he straight up says that. And what's interesting about his story now is there is THE rapper Rick Ross everybody knows him as the big chonky dude with the big beard

12:39 Now that Freeway Rick Ross is out of jail, he wants his name back. He's like why is this rapper taking my name and trying to personify himself as this big kingpin of drug dealing when he has never done anything besides stand on a stage? You know, he has never lived that life I want my name back! It is interesting we see that time and time again. Capone Escobar, a lot of times Scarface. There's rappers who use those nicknames and that's also part of the manipulation to kind of keep the inner cities thinking that their only option is either football basketball or drug dealing Yeah That's what you know that freeway Rick Ross was talking he made a good point because he said You know I am a convicted drug dealer so they won't let me speak to these kids at school or colleges or whatever but

13:27 They'll let rappers that rap about selling drugs come in and talk to them. And that's totally, you know... That's the David Icke agenda where he talks about like things are reversed in this occult belief system and schools don't educate kids and hospitals don't make people healthier. Food makes you sick and all this craziness. Police don't protect anybody? Right! You know that whole idea of These rappers taking on an alias like a gangster rapper name that all ties into these different alter egos and basically what they're doing is they're lining up their frequencies to these negative images.

CHAPTER 06 / 21 Discussion

Sympathetic Magic, Aleister Crowley Anecdotes, and Celebrity Rituals

Celebrities utilize sympathetic or contagion magic to influence energetic reactions through symbolism and specific materials. Examples include Kesha requesting fans' teeth for jewelry and Lady Gaga allegedly using blood and semen in her "Fame" perfume. These acts are compared to Aleister Crowley's rituals, which suggested that physical matter could be used to attract or sustain entities from other dimensions.

sympathetic magic· aleister crowley· lady gaga· kesha· sex magic

14:12 It's a form of sympathetic or contagion magic. And an example of that to kind of relay what I'm talking about is there's the concept of fake it till you make it and, you know, you can go to work or school when you dress professionally well they... The reason you have to dress that way because they know that if you dress a certain way you'll act a certain way It's the same concept with a rapper name. You take on this gangster rap name and it's supposed to line up your energy fields to this same type of thing, and we see it play out in all these weird ways And another example would be like in the book, I talk about Keisha and how she had her fans mail her their teeth and she was going to make jewelry out of it. And what? Wow. Yeah, that's weird stuff for it. Yeah. In Alistair Crowley there is a there's a there's a story about how he was walking down the street with another guy and the other guy was kind of ribbing him like saying this magic is you

15:14 you know, it's Tomfoolery or whatever and it's not true. And Crowley said well watch this and there was a person walking in front of them and he started emulating that guys sort of walk and then Crowley like... He falls down to one knee and then shortly thereafter the guy in front of him falls down on one knee You know thats kind of the legend of Crowley and thats the same kinda concept. You can force energetic reactions based on smaller fields of energy And this is why Lady Gaga was talking about how she put semen and blood in her perfume that was called Fame. And you know that again ties into Crowley and his sex magic rituals where he said you could attract demons with fecal matter and then keep them alive in our dimension with semen. Yeah, yeah... It's some out there stuff but it is it really is! I assume that there's just an energetic effect clearly they wouldn't be doing this for no reason because when I think about the manipulators of society they are the kings

16:15 creating superstitions and religions and mind control. And I have a really hard time thinking that they're just victims of some superstitions themselves that they can't get over, like semen and blood and weird rituals with kids so it does make me think in the terms of things they do or believe in there is a real energetic effect or they just wouldn't be doing it. Yeah if you look at all these kind of occult belief systems also called taking the left hand path Like in the Bible, they talk about the goats go to the left. The sheep go to their right and there's all these other examples of why the left hand path is the occult path and another example we can talk about is how in the Hindu occult belief system They've got these female goddess deities that they called the devas Which is where we get the term divas And today's female artists are...they call them divas and that's based on an occult belief system

CHAPTER 07 / 21 Discussion

Kesha, Sandy Hook, and the Symbolism of Dr. Luke

The song "Die Young" by Kesha reached peak popularity during the Sandy Hook elementary shooting, leading to claims of predictive programming. Kesha later alleged she was forced to perform certain songs by her producer, Dr. Luke, and has since altered her stage name to remove occult-linked symbols like the dollar sign. The dollar sign's vertical bars are interpreted as representing the masonic pillars of Boaz and Joachin.

kesha· sandy hook· dr. luke· boaz and joachin· predictive programming

17:11 you had these goddesses and the Hindus even did certain chants and incantations to these goddesses. And all over the rap music, you see these different rappers talking about how they're God. You know Jay-Z, Kanye, Eminem... Yeah! Lil Wayne I mean most of the big names talk about how they are god. Mmhmm. And there's a reason for that people overlook these things and think it's rap bravado and it's more than that. There's more to it Right. And you mentioned Kesha and there's an example in the book you have of predictive programming which comes up a lot in these Illuminati artists music videos, and she has a song called Die Young and it was literally the number one song on the Billboard charts when Sandy Hook occurred which a lot of people also think was a ritual of some kind probably illusionary in nature but

18:01 That's a little interesting to have the number one song in the country with this artist who routinely uses the pyramid, uses symbolism and closes one eye. She has a song called Die Young and the youngest school shooting ever that I know of occurs at that very same time Yeah, she had that song. It was popular then the shootings happened then they banned the song and Then she tweeted about how they forced her to sing that song Her handlers yeah And we know A few years later, fast forward in time to within the last month or two she was going on record talking about how her music producer Dr. Luke was drugging and sexually abusing her

18:47 And she's been going through this transformation, a public transformation where she has changed her name from the dollar sign on the S to just a plain S. You could look at that... depending how paranoid you want to get with this stuff, the dollar sign with two columns down in the center is supposed to represent the columns Boaz and Joaquin which is a cult belief system the two columns represent the entrance to another dimension. And so it seems like she's trying to back out of these occult belief systems that she was subscribing to at some point, so that she could become famous. She's trying to unsell her soul to the devil! Yeah right and I don't think it's gonna work out too well for her but you know God bless her hope it does work out but

CHAPTER 08 / 21 Discussion

Jay-Z, September 11th, and Lil Wayne Movie Theater Symbolism

Jay-Z released his album "The Blueprint" on September 11, 2001, which is cited as a major instance of predictive programming alongside films like "The Matrix." Similarly, a Lil Wayne music video featuring twelve skeletons in a movie theater is linked to the number of victims in the Aurora, Colorado shooting. These occurrences are debated as either products of the collective unconscious or a deliberate agenda to manifest cultural events.

jay-z· 9/11· lil wayne· aurora shooting· predictive programming

19:32 There's all these other examples of predictive programming that we can look at with, like for instance Jay-Z. He is probably the number one guy that is connected in on this whole agenda and on September 11th 2001 he released an album called The Blueprint. And I believe that because he was aware of THE Blueprint which is to push us down this left hand path And you saw tons of examples of 9-11 predictive programming like in the matrix on Neo's license that says September 11, 2001.

20:11 You know, that movie came out a couple years before 9-11 happened. You know on The Simpsons Terminator 2 there's the Iron Man example... There are all these examples! And to use another one that is actually in the rap genre during the Aurora shooting one of the ones most fascinating to me is Lil Wayne released a video maybe not on the exact day but very very close and there was this scene in the music video where he dancing around a movie theater while there's a movie playing on the screen and there are 12 skeletons in chairs just sitting in around the, in the theatre seats. And that's the number of people who died in the Aurora shooting and there's also a scene in his little dance routine where he puts his hands over his ears and ducks his head down like a shooting would be going on.

20:57 It's ridiculous, like how does that happen? Is it part of the collective unconscious or is it part of some kind of agenda where they manifest these things by putting them out there in the culture. Yeah, that was actually... Back when I started my website IlluminatiWatcher.com about three years ago and it started off as just a kind of casual blog of things I was into you know rap music horror movies conspiracy theories and over time it kinda turned into a conspiracy theory website because I was getting more more into the more I was reading into things cause at the time when I started it I thought I knew a thing or two about conspiracy

21:36 In the last three years, I really found out that I don't. And I'm learning as I go. The more I read up on it and the more I believe in it and I can see the agenda everywhere That little Wayne my homie still videos is the one you're referring to that? That was a that was when my website first started getting some real publicity because I actually was the first one to write about that Oh awesome. Yeah, like there's an image out there where you see the movie theater with all the little um, I number of the skeletons to prove that that's the number of people killed in the Aurora shootings and that image kind of, I don't know if you want to say went viral but like everyone kind of uses that image and that originally came from the website. Oh well good work man! Yeah thanks so... But yeah there's so many odd things that happen it's hard for me to overlook them And going back to Jay-Z If you look at his album called The Black Album

CHAPTER 09 / 21 Discussion

Satanism in Music, Backmasking, and the Deconstruction of Christianity

The presence of Satanic themes in music is highlighted through Jay-Z's track "Lucifer," which allegedly contains backmasked messages. While many researchers frame this as a battle between Christianity and Satanism, the agenda is described as a broader effort to deconstruct traditional values, including the family unit. The goal is perceived as the reconstruction of the world according to a specific occult "will."

jay-z· lucifer· backmasking· christianity· empire state of mind

22:36 The ninth track on that is 99 problems and there you got the three nines versus the version of 666. Well, the 11th song on that album was Lucifer. if you play that backwards it says murder, murder Jesus. That's one of the weirdest angles to this thing to me is that there seems to be a bit of Satanism involved and what's odd is that when I look at the big picture of these things, magic I guess? All these secret sciences all these secret energies that people used to apparently know about ancient Egyptians knew about them... A lot of this stuff predates Christianity but then when

23:19 conspiracy area and I look at YouTube videos where people are decoding these messages, they're very Christian oriented. And it seems like they try to frame the battle as Christians versus Satanists but doesn't this stuff go back far far longer than just Christianity? Yeah, there's a few schools of thought on that. There are some people that believe that Christianity is the tool they use against us and then you've got like you said most of the people online seem to think this is pure Jesus vs Satan thing You know I'm a Christian but I am not close minded enough to think

23:58 the end-all be all, I think everyone's free to make that decision for themselves. He gave us the right to free will and so i don't really harp on that aspect of it too much because well for a few reasons one was cuz honestly I'm not a good Christian so not an example to try to preach but you know I feel like the whole kind of dark side this occult stuff includes Satanism And you know, you can see it and I mean, you could see it all over the place. It's just rampant at this point like I was talking about with Jay Z he has this album called The Black Album that track Lucifer was the 11th track and the 9th track was 99 Problems

24:45 But then if you look at his newer works, he's got that song that... You had Mr. Gates on one of your shows and that was a really good episode. Oh thanks! Yeah he is great. And yeah, he decoded the idea these lyrics to Empire State Of Mind where he says, So regardless whether or not you want to believe in Christianity these occult believers Seem to me to want to destroy it and it's all part of a larger agenda where they need to deconstruct the entire world in our way of thinking And then reconstruct it according to their will and how they want it to be so they want to destroy Christianity because that's a mainstream religion. They wanted destroyed the family unit, and you know this is coming from a I'm a pretty liberal guy You know what? I mean like I don't

25:41 My beliefs are, I try not to blend it into the works of what i'm observing. And... I hear ya! It seems like there's definitely an agenda to destroy Christianity and that's pretty much all I'm gonna say about it really because you know, people are going to believe what they want to believe. Mm-hmm yeah it's odd to me because I think that the thing goes far deeper also think the Vatican is at the head of a ton of crimes... Yeah! ...I think there's so much manipulation in religion so it's an element that I totally recognize and some of these lyrics it's just uh I don't really understand why because it seems too simplistic? Yeah I've seen that too like the Vatican stuff you know I'm not Roman Catholic but um

CHAPTER 10 / 21 Discussion

Catholic Mass Rituals, Human Sacrifice, and Bohemian Grove

The traditional Catholic Mass is analyzed as a mock sacrifice involving the symbolic consumption of human flesh and blood. This ritualistic focus on death is linked to historical human sacrifice and modern secret ceremonies like the "Cremation of Care" at Bohemian Grove. Aleister Crowley’s philosophy regarding the energy exchange of death is used to explain why these practices might continue in underground occult circles.

vatican· communion· human sacrifice· bohemian grove· aleister crowley

26:21 Yeah, the Vatican stuff's kind of weird man. Like they're doing some crazy stuff and I'm like man maybe they are on the wrong side or maybe they're infiltrating it from the inside control system within the control system maybe, I don't know. Well i've said this a thousand times in the show but uh... I grew up going to catholic school and always thought the mass was weird but not that weird and then when I got away from it for six seven years and then I had to go to a wedding that was traditional and I'm going through the Mass like wow this is really really strange this is very culty and the whole idea the communion, you know? I mean you're worshipping a human sacrifice. You're sitting here everybody's staring at this brutalized human sacrifice on the cross and then the priest does this transmutation to the literal blood and body of this being we are eating and drinking We're eating a man's flesh and drinking his blood And that supposed to be like a good Christian thing to do it that is a mock sacrifice! That's dark dark stuff

27:19 Yeah, there's definitely a whole aspect to all of this with the human sacrifice element and we talk about that in the book too because that's kind of one of the taboo parts of the conspiracy world where... A lot of people don't want to talk about it and I kind of combine it in my chapter of controversy where I go into sex magic and some of the numerology behind some of these young artists that have died. The number 25 surfaces a lot, they'll be twenty-five years old when they pass like Tupac and Aaliyah You know, you've got other people that die on the 25th of the month like Michael Jackson and left eye And in the Bible there's a there's I don't know There's some verse where they talk about how on the 25th of the month. They would sacrifice people on a pagan altar mm-hmm so my argument is that I think these occult practitioners went underground

28:15 and took this idea of human sacrifice, and continue to do it. But it's not as accepted anymore so they have to do it in secret And that's why at the Bohemian Grove cremation care ceremonies they do this stuff in secret because people would not be okay with the idea of human sacrifices anymore Right but if you look at our ancient cultures in history, like everyone did it. Everyone sacrificed people to different deities in order to appease them or gain blessings from them or whatever and that's all factual stuff and you know this so to me It seems like okay So you're telling me for hundreds of years we did these ritual sacrifices And we just stopped? Like I don't know To me it seems like there's there's an underground group that still practices that because

29:09 severe energy exchange and you know Alistair Crowley talked about how the ultimate orgasm was death. I agree with you man, that i think there's definitely something going on there and we've mentioned a lot of interesting people...I want to focus in on some these people little more. You mentioned Left Eye Lopez yeah there are some interesting connotations around her death and a lot of speculation even the name itself left eye mean thats an odd connection too right? Yeah, that's the moon eye and the sacrifice of the Moon Goddess plays out in so many ways in this conspiracy like Princess Diana. She was the Moon Goddess and Selina was the Moon Goddess and they all died or sacrificed arguably So if you look at Left Eye I kind of explore this passage in a book If you look at her life towards the end there she

Left Eye Lopez, Honduras Death, and Voodoo Connections

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez of TLC died in a car accident in Honduras while filming a documentary about her spiritual cleansing. The events leading to her death included her involvement with numerology, the summoning of spirits, and a previous accidental car crash involving a boy also named Lopez. The presence of tarot cards at the moment of her fatal accident and her uncle's subsequent death are presented as evidence of a ritualistic or magical influence.

left eye lopez· tlc· honduras· tarot cards· sympathetic magic

30:03 She was caught on camera ritually when she died because they were filming a show called Last Days of Left Eye. Well, of course they came up with the title afterwards I'm sure maybe not. Maybe not! We've thought before that but she went to Honduras do ritual cleansing is all she really said we don't really know why what he was cleansing from but she was in the middle of real bad infighting within her group TLC And she was starting all these problems because she was talking about how the music industry worked. And she gave an example of how, she said you know, how can a group like us who sold six million dollars worth of records we're claiming bankruptcies? Like the system is against us and she goes through a whole formula for how that works and she talks about how she was extorted by her producers

30:57 And you know all this crazy stuff happened towards the end and then she went down to Honduras. She passed away, and what's one of many odd little pieces of that event was that the last thing you see... because they fit the camera was filming when her car crashed! The last thing you see is there's a passenger in the back seat says hey hand me those cards because he's holding a tin full of tarot cards She hands them back to the person in the backseat and then a second later you hear screaming, and they cut the camera footage off. But that's when the car accident happened and she was the only one that died. Yeah! Gotta be skeptical... Her case is it's a pretty good example of conveying all these different arguments I'm presenting because she was into numerology and yoga and all these occult belief systems

31:50 And she would summon spirits, like she tried to summon Tupac's spirit right before she died. And she had alter egos which is another key concept because all of these... you know every rapper out there the first thing they do is drop their government name and established a new rap name, which is part of the street culture. But the idea behind that is also present in magic because every magician takes on a magic name. They believe that hiding your real name is important because the name holds your essence of being so they take on a new name for a few reasons and they think it keeps them in touch with their higher powers but

32:33 She talk about how she would summon these different spirits and her one of them was this evil spirit name nina so while she was in honduras. About a week before her accident where she died they at she was in a van actually hit and killed the young boy and this boy his last name is also lopez, And you know, Left Eye felt really bad. You could tell in the documentary she felt really bad about it and she helped the family out and paid for the funeral and all that. It was just an accident but... She talked about after the accident, she's on camera talking about how she felt like the spirit was trying to take her life not the boys' and it was an accident and she is holding onto the boy shoes that he wore when he died

33:20 And being aware of this idea of the sympathetic magic or contagion magic that i was talking about earlier you can see that this would have an effect because she's holding this boys energy with the shoes and then you know a couple days later she dies so. And then even weirder is her uncle stayed behind in honduras after this whole thing, i'm not sure why but he did within a month to two he died as well man So and then on top of all that in Honduras, they've got they practice voodoo which is more That's sympathetic contagion magic. You know there's this there's so many things involved with it that it's hard to just I don't like There are too many coincidences to just ignore it right? Right! So I lay it all out there and I present all this evidence And like you were saying with the left eye thing That's...that's the symbol of the moon goddess so you could see

Jay-Z Blueprint Trilogy, One World Trade Center, and Duality

The release dates of Jay-Z's "Blueprint" albums are tied to significant post-9/11 events, including the naming of Osama Bin Laden and the completion of the One World Trade Center. Occult researchers interpret the destruction of the Twin Towers and the construction of a single tower as a ritual to collapse duality into unity. This symbolism is further linked to the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the central column of enlightenment.

jay-z· one world trade center· osama bin laden· kabbalah· pillars of hermes

34:20 That's Illuminati ritual 101 is to sacrifice the moon goddess. Mm-hmm So yeah, she's a fascinating case and we talked about Jay Z a little bit You mentioned that his first blueprint album was released on September 11 2001 Clearly an interesting fascinating connection but he also has two other Blueprint albums with interesting date releases too right? Yeah, that's right. So the second Blueprint album was released November 12th 2002 which was the day that we officially named Osama Bin Laden as the perpetrator of the 9-11 attacks and then you know fast forward there's in November 12 2013 Was the day that the One World Trade Center was built

35:08 And all the bells and whistles and alarms should be going off in all of you good conspiracy theorist heads. We went from this, the Twin Towers to the One World Trade Center – we've been talking about this New World Order for years and years and years And, you know many people believe this 9-11 event was what kickstarted the final push of this agenda. A lot of people who I've interviewed who are occult researchers they also talk about the Pillars of Hermes and this whole idea of duality and 9-11 was a ritual to take duality and turn it into

35:46 Bring it into one. So you see that with the twin towers now there's a single tower Baphomet as a demonic entity is hermaphroditic That's the blending of the dualities really weird stuff I don't get it, but it fits in line with that kind if its kind of odd that You'd have two towers and now you have one and that also coincides with strange occult beliefs Yeah, absolutely. That's another of the key concepts is having the twin towers represent the two pillars of Boaz and Jaquin and how that represented the entrance to this new kind of mystical world so they destroyed them and replaced it with a single one like if you look at the Kabbalah tree of life those are another representation of having there's

36:33 the twin towers on the outside edges and then up the center path is supposed to be the center column of enlightenment. And you know all this Kabbalah stuff, you see that all over the place in music and entertainment with everyone's into this Kabbalah belief system. You see the little red string bracelets on everybody and what that signifies is they decided to switch over to this Kabbalah belief system, which when you get into that man I mean it just gets it gets deep and confusing and weird but you know that's out there too. It is! And I did not know about Jay-Z second two albums because...I don't know how anyone can ignore this guy the biggest

37:22 rap mogul that there is releases three albums called the blueprint literally on the day of the attack, The day of the announcement of the boogeyman and then the building of the replacement tower. And it's called a freaking blueprint you know it just doesn't get more obvious I can understand how someone cannot see a correlation there yeah This is a guy that's taken over by storm i mean this guy owns so much stuff he just bought ace of spades the you know the champagne company or whatever and running Def Jam and he got these nightclubs I'm in this guys so connected. And him and his buddy Damon Dash they were both really cutthroat when they first got onto the scene weren't they? Yeah, supposedly they were broken up The way the story goes is that

Rockefeller Branding, Dame Dash, and the Death of Kathy White

Jay-Z's rise to power involved the breakup of the Roc-A-Fella brand and a falling out with partner Dame Dash. The death of Dash's girlfriend, Aaliyah, and the mysterious passing of Jay-Z's alleged mistress, Kathy White, are discussed as potential Illuminati interference. Additionally, the marriage of Jay-Z and Beyonce is characterized by some as an arranged union with deep occult significance.

jay-z· dame dash· aaliyah· rock-a-fella records· kathy white

38:10 They started this whole Rocco Rockefeller branding and Jay Z was... Funny name. Right, right! And yeah Rockefeller that's one of the 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati and Jay-Z was approached and they said hey because because the idea is that these illuminati types are wealthy elite and they want to destroy any kind of Uprising of anyone who's not them so they wanted to break up this rock aware brand. So they basically pay jay-z off for him to break it up and you know him in dame dash had a big falling out because of us and,

38:51 Jay-z got to become the president of Def Jam because he helped break it up and he bought out the Rock Aware clothing line from Dame Dash. And you know, Dame Dash hasn't been back on top since and You know He was dating Aaliyah when Aaliya died and that's another thing that you could say is The Illuminati trying to mess with Dame Dash by killing his girlfriend Right. And, you know, Jay-Z he's got all these odd connections and if you look at like some people say that him and Beyonce is in arranged marriage on freemantv.com they've got all these great articles about Beyonce and her occult ties well there's a belief that Jay Z and Beyonce had their child Blue Ivy and this was supposed to be like a Rosemary's Baby type ritual

39:46 type deal because they announced it at the 2011 Grammys, which if you recall was the same show that Nicki Minaj performed that public exorcism on stage as part of her just musical act. Wow yeah! And then next day after that Jay-Z's mistress named Kathy White she died mysteriously quote unquote Because supposedly she knew all the secrets of Jay-Z and they wanted to take her out as well Wow, and Nicki Minaj. She's someone who's on top of those occultist performances She came out and she said that she was abused by her father growing up too So I mean that fits the pattern as well yeah, she she's one of these people that talk about all these different alter egos and and spirits

CHAPTER 14 / 21 Discussion

Alter Egos, Nicki Minaj Exorcism, and The Alchemist

Celebrities like Nicki Minaj and Beyonce utilize alter egos, such as Roman Zolanski and Sasha Fierce, which are described as vessels for possessing spirits. This practice is linked to magical orders like the OTO and the concept of the "ultra-muse." High-profile figures including Will Smith and Oprah Winfrey are noted for their affinity for the book "The Alchemist," which is interpreted as a primer for covert occult belief systems.

nicki minaj· sasha fierce· oto· the alchemist· rick rubin

40:39 that possess her and she harnesses in. And you know, in the book we talk about this whole idea of spirits coming into these artists and the reason they do that I mean this all ties into these magical orders like the OTO and they use symbols and rituals all in the name of transmitting these other dimensional entities into their body And Nicki Minaj tells you, all these artists tell you about Jay-Z, Beyonce. All these artists talk about the different alter egos and spirits that come into them. And Nicki Minaj is no exception she lays out multiple alter ego's it's not secret so... It's almost like an extreme version

41:27 of the muse because we always hear about the muse and the inspiration of artists and creativity. A lot of artists, stand-up comics in particular say that when they're on a roll it doesn't even feel like them it just feels like they're a vessel for something higher that's way more creative than the way they feel they could ever be And maybe, like Professor Griff says in the basement of some of these record labels they have altars down there. Maybe they're doing rituals to invoke an ultra-muse! You know you're putting this entity right in the body, you're possessing them almost... Like maybe it's a more extreme version or more calculated version of that muse concept?

42:06 Yeah, totally. You know there's so many examples of people talking about this stuff and then there are examples of different artists who tell you about how they perform certain magic or their belief systems in alchemical transformation. Will Smith, Pharrell, Oprah... They all talk about this book called The Alchemist and The Alchemist is a covert occult belief system where this guy is pursuing his what he calls in the book, the personal legend. But it's really just this same thing as The Will you know a will with a big capital W yeah as in Alistair Crowley do without will

42:47 And, you know Rick Rubin he talks about how he practices magic and Jay-Z. He does that... I explore the different ideas behind Jay Z's hand The Rock Diamond and why that is a triangle of manifestation and bringing spirits into this world because these magic practitioners they believe in contacting these different spirits and if you want to look at Kabbalah belief systems, there's a dark side to the tree of life which has these different evil spirits and part of the Enlightenment process is to come in contact with these evil spirits And that's what The Seal of Solomon is all about. The six-pointed star is about controlling demons

CHAPTER 15 / 21 Discussion

Music Industry Possession, Law of Words, and Manifesting Reality

The music industry is portrayed as a system that requires artists to harness spirits, a process that can lead to mental breakdowns if the individual is not spiritually strong. Rap music is identified as a primary vehicle for the "law of words," utilizing the same principles as cymatics to vibrate reality into specific forms. This aligns with the Eastern and Hermetic ideas of manifesting one's own reality through the spiritual realm.

kabbalah· tree of life· cymatics· law of words· hermeticism

43:36 Well, even Beyonce who has really no reason to take on any kind of alter ego. Even she has this Sasha Fierce personality that seems very odd and weird that she would even do that because if you're trying to just go the typical celebrity mainstream path it seems almost damaging to your brand unless there's something else behind it. Yeah... I feel like they get into the music industry and the music industry says, okay here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna do all these different symbols and you've got to fall into these called beliefs and harness these spirits

44:18 You know, if they do it great. They get their fame and fortunes but the problem with it is that there's like I was talking about earlier with the Kabbalah and the dark side of the tree of life when people try to traverse this tree of life they go crazy And its a concept of going to the other side That's why you see different lyrics in songs with title The Other Side These people they go crazy because you know, transmitting these spirits requires a lot of energy and there's only so many people aren't strong enough to handle that. And they break down over time.

45:00 Yeah, man. And we've seen that concept in scriptures before and stuff even in the Bible they talk about or if you've seen the movie Dogma there has to be a voice of God because hearing God himself it'll make your head explode as it does in the movie dogmas spoiler alert I think were past the statute limitations on that movie but uh yeah that's not a new concept either the idea of not being able to handle the spiritual realm Yeah, and playing off of that what you just said there is... There's different laws of magic. You've got this law knowledge which is understanding how all this works which is like the first level then you've got the law self-knowledge where you explore what your personal will and what you want done in this world

45:45 And then you've got this law of words, which is why I think rap music is the key vehicle for delivering this message because these people are... that's their artisan of wordcraft. You know the Bible talks about how God spoke and things came into existence and you look at fields of science like semantics where they basically take flower and they vibrate certain plates and the flower will arrange itself into certain shapes and symbols based upon the mechanical vibration. And all of this stuff, you know...and this all goes into the New Age stuff which like The Secret where you're doing things on the spiritual realm to affect things in the material realm It's a hermetic mystery school

46:41 belief system with as above so below. There's things you do in the spiritual cosmos type of theory or world and it comes and plays out in material ways, and all these rappers and occult practitioners they think they can bend the universe to their will. They think they are the controllers of their destiny and they are the new gods Right, and that's a pretty popular concept in a lot of people who are modern philosophers or you know people like Ram Dass Even Alan Watts whose past but they used to talk about manifesting one's reality It's a very I guess Eastern idea but it comes up a lot in magic too. It's like different approaches to the same

CHAPTER 16 / 21 Discussion

Memory and Music, Francis Bacon, and the I AM Presence

The power of music to embed information in the human mind is demonstrated by the long-term recall of song lyrics compared to historical facts. Sir Francis Bacon is identified as a historical figure who used entertainment to manipulate the public and is linked to the Theosophical concept of "Ascended Masters." Modern artists like Nas and Will.i.am are noted for using the "I AM" terminology associated with these esoteric teachings.

francis bacon· theosophy· sir mix-a-lot· will.i.am· ascended masters

47:30 mechanism. Yeah, it's some heavy stuff for sure I try to...I try not to go too deep on some of this stuff because I know it loses people you know? I'm right there with you like sometimes I start reading and when things get too too deep You kind of like zone out a little bit But I tried to use examples that kind of just relay the idea behind it So one example people tend to claim Oh, music doesn't have an effect on you. And the same with video games. You know all the violence in the video games doesn't have any affect on you and it's all other things but I use one example for people when they start telling me that I'm making this up in my head okay so... So I'm gonna ask you Greg could you tell me around the top of your head five things that happened in year 1992?

48:18 Oh, Jesus. Don't know if I can. Okay so that's my point okay all right that's the point and and i'm not trying to make you look dumb it's easy to do but I appreciate that So okay now can you give me one just one line from Sir Mix-a-Lot's Baby Got Back? oh right yeah My Anaconda don't want none unless she got buns huh what are you talking about exactly And now it's from 1992. So and I'm the same way, I couldn't tell you five things and I'm the one that came up with this question and I haven't even looked it up but right so you can memorize an entire rap song from 1992 and it stays in your mind for what is that 10 20 22 years? You're so right! I think about that all the time when I think about how terrible my memory is and I get really pissed at myself then I start to remember song lyrics I'm like why can I do it was song lyrics nothing else but I can write another song lyrics

49:11 Right and Francis Bacon he was this is you know hundreds of years ago He was a key player in all of this and he was a member of these secret societies It's the same quote-unquote Illuminati group. He was supposedly the ghostwriter for Shakespeare's which which kind of tied? He's kind of a long line of rappers because you know rappers have ghost writers, too yeah, and supposedly he faked his death and he He supposedly ascended into the god-like stage for various reasons, and he joined this group in Theosophy. They call it the Ascended Masters Well in Theosophy there's a university called the Integrated Ascended Masters And they call that the IAM well if you look at rap There's all of these different examples of people using that same verbiage like Nas has an album called I am

50:07 You've got the rapper will i am who's like the leader of pushing this trans humanistic agenda yeah well and you have a whale I am. Yeah yo god is gonna help my m earth wind fire as an album called i am, and you know to park he studied alice bailey she was a key theosophist That's where some of the ideas come about with Tupac faking his death is because supposedly Francis Bacon did this and and Machiavelli as well, which is the two box final alter ego that he took on before he died and And Francis bacon to go back to him again He used to talk about how the best way to manipulate people is through entertainment because you can grab their attention better than just directly preaching to them. Mm-hmm

Cultural Manipulation, Bill Cosby, and the Boule Society

Mainstream culture is described as a tool used by elites to manipulate young, impressionable people through icons like Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg. The discussion introduces the Boule Society, also known as the "Black Skull and Bones," whose high-ranking members are referred to as Archons. Rumors regarding Bill Cosby's membership in this society are used to provide context for his alleged abuses of power.

bill cosby· boule society· archons· black skull and bones· cultural icons

54:36 It sucks that we're all so prone to following mainstream examples and that we can be so easily manipulated, but this is the way one type of culture was heavily affected. This little campaign has a lot of deaths and incarcerations on the scoreboard. And it's not just black kids but any kids who got sucked up into that culture I was a punk rock kid! I thought that was cool Luckily not so cool that i was doing heroin on the floor of the cashbob bathroom But cultural icons play a role in a lot of young lives and the elite know this, and they use these tools against us when we're young and impressionable. And we lack the confidence to be ourselves so watch out for that in your own lives and the lives of your families. Maybe have a little sympathy for young people who are clearly just trying too hard because we all go through that

55:19 But I liked it. Isaac has a lot of good little anecdotes about the players in this game, and I like bits about Jay-Z's Blueprint albums, the stories about Kesha and Tupac who you have to talk about when getting into this topic. In the plus show we get more into Snoop Dogg, Sir Francis Bacon, a bit about Ferguson thrown The $3 billion magic spell that is Dre's Beats and the 666 sigil. The Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory, Michael Jackson and his experiences in strangeness. Conspiracy and stand-up comedy. The Boulet Society whose officers at top of that pyramid are called the Archons? Huh what's that about?

56:00 They're apparently the Black Skull and Bones, which Bill Cosby is rumored to be a member of actually. So the fact that he's an abuser of power and women supposedly says his accusers well it makes little more sense in the context that you would be a member of such a society of that type but I hope you liked it if you want hear more hop over the higher side chats plus dot com and sign up get twice as much THC help me have a regular human life And one other thing before we go, I don't see myself as a host who gets personal. I'm just a stoner guy who likes to get into these weird topics and you hear me all the time on magic shows or episodes about UFOs or contact. As much as I wish I had, I've had no real personal validation for much of these things

Los Angeles Producer Mansion, Personal Anecdote, and Child Photography

A personal story describes an unplanned visit to a film producer's mansion in Los Angeles following a movie premiere. The house featured only two personal photographs: one of the producer with Barack Obama and another of a young, naked boy in a kitchen. The anecdote is presented as personal confirmation of disturbing behavior and potential exploitation within the high-level entertainment industry in California.

los angeles· movie premiere· obama· child exploitation· producer

56:48 But I do have one story that sort of fits into this topic, a little story where I got some personal confirmation of the pedophilia in the LA entertainment industry. So here it goes... I get invited to events up there in LA because i know a guy who knows a guy or something and that's kind of what happened here. So, I went to this little schmoozy movie premiere where the cast and crew were hanging out and a small number of us ended up making an unplanned stop at one of the producers houses. And it's an important detail that this was an unplanned stop So we go into this place, a mansion on a cliff very awesome I thought This guy had a room that was just like a Chinese dojo with sliding paper walls and stuff He had the works There was great art everywhere really nice paintings And i didn't see every room in the house but I think I saw 75% or so

57:43 And there were only two personal photographs in the whole house that I could see. One was at the front door and it was this producer with Obama, a really generic photo like the guy who's waiting in line for his photo like a kid waiting to see Santa Claus It seemed like it was put there for clout, but to me it looked sad and desperate. Anyway there was only one other photo in this house, in the kitchen and it was a young naked boy about 10 I would guess. And he's floating on shallow water on his stomach. And its not a terribly graphic picture but if it were a pic of a model it could be something straight out of sports illustrated.

58:20 The kid is naked and it's a picture of his ass. It's just what it is, and I have to wonder whose kid this? If its his kid then that isn't too bad. I know a lot of families who have pictures of their kids in the tub but those are usually tucked away in photo albums or something why is this framed out in public? And again if there were pictures all over the house it wouldn't be as weird but this is only photo other than the sad Obama one that I had mentioned And if this picture is not his kid, then we got problems. Because any level removed beyond biological parent in this situation is an issue. So I thought that was just a really weird thing to see, coincidental kind of fit into the mold and i wanted to have proof for this so when no one was looking I snapped the picture of it with my cell phone if you ever run into me at conference or something and you feel confident enough coming up asking me to see a picture of a naked boy well then I will show you the proof

59:17 But this guy did have that creepy, extreme softness to him. I don't know... It's something that uh... it's hard to put into words And that's my story! It's not the biggest deal in the world but in that moment I was like Yeah..it's true. It's all true And there's another thing I guess i should mention that the plus people will hear in this show and that was the little comment about swearing and dark matter. And that is true, I have talked with the producers of Dark Matters Network after some listeners let them know they wanted to see him on THC so we talked it out And we are back. We're on Saturday nights for the last show they play, on a Saturday night But they're old-fashioned over at Dark Matter and they won't allow swearing and I had to do a lot of thinking about this Am i selling out to alter the show for one small delivery channel?

CHAPTER 20 / 21 Discussion

Dark Matter Network, Censorship, and Swear-Free Compromise

The host addresses a decision to remove swearing from the free version of the podcast to comply with the requirements of the Dark Matter Network. This compromise is intended to spread the show's information to a wider audience while maintaining the uncensored format for paid subscribers. The segment emphasizes that the show's independence is secured by listener microtransactions rather than corporate oversight.

dark matter network· censorship· podcasting· microtransactions· lupe fiasco

1:00:08 And I hate censorship, but THC isn't even a particularly vulgar show. Or what about some of the information itself? Isn't it part of my job to spread it as far as I can go if it is actually helpful information. Why limit that because I just want to say an occasional F or S, maybe its selfish So I decided the compromise is to keep the free show swear-free

1:00:49 But when I know that we're into the plus show and the conversation has gone beyond an hour, I revert back to letting everything fly because this is supported by subscribers. And nothing can influence that as far as i'm concerned. I've had people voice concerns don't do it man first It's swearing then it's going to be content and let me just nip that in the bud right now Because this is the only compromise i'm willing to make Because I understand it to an extent. And it takes very little for me to comply, we're talking about one or two words a show But I would draw a line in the sand at any other point because there are enough plus members now that this can't really be stopped No network or authority can scare me or hold any power over my head or the shows when its supported by the microtransactions of the listeners

1:01:36 And that won't change unless everyone suddenly gives up on me. But until that day, thank you and I'm going to keep trying to put out the best shows I can with the best guests I can find and hopefully we all keep having a great time! I am going to end this show with a song called Day Dreamin' by Lupe Fiasco. The sample is from a much older song but his rap verses are pretty poetic with some deep meaning wrapped in the idea he has a giant robot pal It's weird and it's great, and it appropriately shows the skill and merit of the genre without any hate or violence or misogyny. But he does say... I had to turn my back on what got you paid! I couldn't see half the hood on me like Abu Ghraib but I'd like to thank the streets that drove me crazy And all the televisions out there that raised me Amen people See ya next time Take a song with me

1:02:31 For a couple of hours, for a couple of hours Such a beautiful day, such a beautiful day Daydreams, daydreams I dream until we meet the flowers, I dream until we meet the flowers I'm all autopilot cause, i can't drive. Luma number one, I tell my homies they can't ride Unless you're sitting on his shoulders but that's way too high Let's try not to step on the children and lose cameras Filming this walking project build up

1:03:14 I'm still got some damage from fighting the White House just so you can see I fell asleep amid the flowers For a couple of hours Beautiful day Daydreams, I dream of you amid the flowers Such a beautiful day Now come on everybody let's make cocaine cool we need a few more

1:04:04 We need champagne now look as hard as you can with blood in your hand and now Hold up your chain, slow motion through the flames Now cue the smoke machines and the simulator rain But not too loud cause the baby's sleeping I wonder if it knows what the world is keeping Uh oh both sleeves white laying there dreaming Me and my robot tiptoe around creeping I had to turn my back on what got you paid

1:04:40 I like to think the streets that drove me crazy And all the televisions out there that grace me
