Sofia Smallstorm | Blood Guac, The Archonic Underworld, & Fortifying Our Divinity

00:00 You know, it's fair to say that this little engine that could the higher side chats is one of the longest running and most successful ad free podcasts in internet history. Not really because I'm so great but because the ad creep is everywhere It's two then four then six its invading paid subscriptions even with a price hike almost every other year That's why we have to scroll further and further down just to find anything were actually looking for But it's kinda nice to know there are at least a few places left that have not surrendered and are holding their ground. Really, thanks to community support in one way or another which is also related to how much value it provides to the individuals who cross over.

00:39 And THC Plus members have over a decade's worth of uninterrupted and well-edited interviews with some of the best guests and researchers in the alternative everything space. 750 plus episodes with probably something like 550 plus unique guests, with some fairly advanced search functions built right into TheHigherSideChats.com Even free first hour listeners have plenty to play around with there including getting the closing songs if you don't hate them and searching that very big archive for the free shows. But if you like what I do and respect the commitment to sponsor-free independence, think about how much more there is in all those extended episodes where the conversation continues to get deeper into a guest's work or we can get their thoughts on adjacent or more bizarre things. Or get into the thornier topics that I've even had guests on occasion say they wouldn't want to talk about in the free first hour. The whole thing even starts with a 7 day free trial 8 bucks a month after that

01:39 When you sign up, you make a username and password like any other website. But you also get a welcome email that contains a custom individualized RSS feed just copy and paste that into any podcasting app that accepts our assess feeds. And you have the whole archive in one easy list without the need for those login credentials But when you want to engage in the comments, suggest a guest on the forums or contribute to ratings I regularly mention do that at TheHigherSideChats.com When you log in all of the episode posts magically switch over to extended plus versions which I consider very nice touch too

02:14 THC plus is also available on Patreon if you don't mind not having access to the website. The trade off is being able to listen on Spotify and pay with PayPal systems that don't really want to play with me directly If you were a previous member who ever had issues we've done a lot to continually improve the system and we have more support in the ticketing system than before for any tech support needs And again, the seven day free trial is standard now But staying independent is a lot more expensive and in need of ongoing attention than the ad model is, and that's fine. This how we do it, I think the value is there, the interviews are better for it, and like being part of a very small elite class of great shows that have been able to just say no

03:00 I hope you're able to squeeze me into the budget somewhere. Either way, enjoy the free first hour and maybe tell some friends if you wouldn't mind we are a little algorithmically challenged if you know what I mean? Good luck out there and enjoy! The planet's puppet masters almost surely is clear And until we did every last close-chested view I find them as we reap We're into us just don't know

04:08 It's the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine coming in hot from the Sunshine State. I'm Greg Carlwood And when you know the power of the PR marketing machine and attention-grabbing algorithmic everything, it's easier to see that people focus is often directed towards a few highly charged stories of the week and moving us from one staged event, engineered outrage or public psychodrama to another. An immeasurable amount of things fall through cracks or are intentionally left out of our news feeds as we let the psychopathic super system keep right on churning and burning

04:49 Untold corruption, secret agreements hidden agendas unseen operations and an endless list of things one must go out of their way to learn about. And one of those dedicated to deeper dives outside the conventional informational quarantine is the great Sophia Smallstorm She's been here five times before talking about everything from Sandy Hook strangeness geoengineering and cell phone radiation to transhumanism biological darkness in the dangers of oxidative stress She still puts out her avatar update newsletter, bringing subscribers new information found in her own self-directed research rabbit holes and also blogs at about the sky.com and maintains a store of health promoting damage mitigating products at avatarproducts.com back after four long years the Federation of Natural Life Freedom Fighter oxidative stress alarm sounder and geoengineering educator Sophia welcome back

05:43 Greg, I'm really happy to be back because it was four years and so many people were telling me why aren't you on higher side chats? And I said he has disappeared. Ah! And you did. You disappeared to bug land. Bug land yes or Gatorsville as i like to say and it has its advantages and disadvantages It's true but it is what it is anyway how are you doing hopefully not near any fires No, the fires are right around the corner as they would say in New York. You have bugs we have fires! No it's terrible. We know what these fires are. We know where they come from and I'm writing a newsletter on that now

06:28 I always write these newsletters, i fill stuff in and think of how to pull in another thread. I think of these things in the middle of the night Greg. I wake up and go oh! I have to put this in a newsletter then it's a struggle should I get out of bed? And write this down or am I going to remember until morning? And tell myself you must remember this until morning Well, I know you don't have Wi-Fi on so you can actually think at night. I can think at night yes and i've learned a lot of things about those we have to get back into sync into a group but let's this will be our experimental show okay okay if i leave the show abruptly it'll be a no go

07:15 Well, hopefully that won't happen. But it is nice to talk to you again after so long. You were kind enough to send me the last few newsletters and I read them all lots of diverse topics and off-the-radar information. I figured we could start with blood guacamole or this really interesting deep dive you did into the cartel controlled avocado trade I have had a few guests who focus on the cartels and their drug and human trafficking, but it's very concerning that those black market profits are now monopolizing legal markets with the same cutthroat practices in violence. Talk to us about some of the surprising things you learned on this. First of all Greg, I haven't met a single person who doesn't like avocados

08:01 You know? It's almost like baby food. It's baby food, it's a great color, it's so creamy and has a little taste of onion. It slides down your throat. Somebody told me they put in smoothies people make pudding out of it sweet stuff I cannot imagine my brain and sensibilities cannot go in all those directions but there was a time when the avocado was unpopular, if you can believe it. So California, that lovely land that you left so abruptly for your own reasons... California, they were promoting property tract of land sales with citrus. They would tell

08:52 Potential homeowners, oh buy this house because it has citrus trees around it and you can pay off your mortgage because you will have oranges and lemons. So this was going on I think in the early part of the 1900's and then that started to go stale And they had to come up with another gimmick The developers in California how to sell land They tried all kinds of different fruits kumquats and different things like that. Nothing took until they tried the avocado, and then they were actually publishing ads showing drawings or pictures of avocado trees with dollar bills hanging from the branches? And there was a postal worker his name was Rudolf Haas H-A-A-S this is 1925 he worked at the Pasadena Post Office He made 25 cents an hour

09:50 Okay, and that's not much. He had with the help of a horticulturist because avocados are not easy to grow but he had seen this picture of this avocado tree with dollar bills hanging and then he plundered his savings and borrowed from his sister and he bought a piece of land with avocado trees on it and he learned how to graft which is a horticultural technique with the help of a real horticulturist, how to graft avocados and get a hybrid. And so he made this tree that was an improvement on the Fuerte type of avocado which was I guess the most popular one at the time. It was then named the Haas Avocado after he began to sell it to his friends at the post office

10:45 For several dollars, four or five avocados in a bag he sold for $1. But imagine that's four hours of work right? So his tree was producing tremendous amount of fruit and avocado is actually a fruit it's a stone fruit So this Haas creation, he had patented it in 1935 and it is now the champion of all avocados. It is smooth and fatty inside. It is dark and nubby. It has a tough outer skin. The Florida avocados where you are I think they're thinner skinned and they're more watery so the oiliness of the Haas slides down the throat even better

11:33 And the house avocado was something that managed to take off worldwide. And that was actually the feat of, shall I say this or shall you? Remember 9-11 and the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter who gave the talk before a congressional group She was representing. I'm sorry, I haven't. No it's all good! I actually do have this here because i mentioned PR and marketing in the intro because this did really stick out to me but you wrote if you remember the incubator babies story that got America into the first Gulf War This was tearfully told by a young Kuwaiti girl to the U.S. Congressional Human Rights Caucus in October of 1990 describing Iraqi soldiers looting incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital

12:26 and dropping the babies on the floor. The story was made up as part of a PR campaign to hustle public support for the US-led liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi occupation, it worked! The Washington DC public relations firm Hill & Knowlton had been paid $10.7 million by a group calling itself Citizens For A Free Kuwait to sell the war to the world, as news programs later reported when the stunt was exposed And we have the very same outfit, Hill and Knowlton to thank for the modern avocado craze which quadrupled consumption of the bumpy pear in America by 2022 thanks to primetime Super Bowl ads pushing guacamole and avocado toast at the turn-of-the century.

13:15 So i do think that's really interesting I just like hearing more examples of how the public attention is directed and how demand is manufactured even in areas where you wouldn't expect people always say Edward bernays is the father of the modern american breakfast eggs bacon all that stuff Because he was like how can i take all the pieces of the farm put on one plate and sell it to people because everything you find is a billion dollar business to somebody somewhere, add nothing ever really seems to be organic never really seems to just come. Naturally without being shepherded along by someone making money somewhere

13:59 Yeah, so organic in that sense. Yes but Greg I also learned and this is quite fascinating that avocados even if they're not grown organically in soil that's not treated with chemicals They're usually more expensive, the organic avocados. But Dr. Mercola reported several years ago that his people, whoever they are tested the conventionally grown avocados and there's no trace of pesticide in them so you can buy the conventionally grown avocados and feel pretty confident that you're not getting a big dose of pesticides because it's that skin that's so hard I mean it repels insects

14:41 The other thing is that you are probably buying from a cartel. Yeah, that is the thing so this is kind of where the story really pops off as you talk about this one region Miko-Kan, Michio-Kan. And that's where four in five of all avocados consumed in the US are grown it's the most important avocado producing region and the world accounting for nearly a third of the global supply this cultivation requires a huge quantity of land much

15:18 Much of it found beneath native pine forests and even more startling quantities of water is often said it takes about 12 times as much water to grow an avocado as a does the tomato. You say, recently competition for control of the avocado and the resources needed to produce it has grown increasingly violent often at the hands of cartels a few years ago. In nearby Europe 19 people were found hanging from an overpass piled beneath a pedestrian bridge or dumped on the roadside in various states of undress and dismemberment –a particularly gory incident that some experts believe

15:56 emerged from cartel clashes over the multi-billion dollar avocado trade. I mean, wow it really almost sounds silly for that sort of violence to be about avocados but money is money and i worry that if they make this big pivot which already seems to have been made there's nothing illegal about selling avocados so You can find a black market business to legitimate businesses and then you're just in trenched and building wealth and if you have these monopolistic very cold hearted practices you know you can deal with things as they come up but become a little bit more ingrained in conventional society in the conventional economic structure.

16:41 Greg, let's give credit to the source of this avocado information which triggered my whole interest in cartels. It came from the Harper's Magazine—the literary magazine not Harper's Bazaar—at the November 2023 issue there was an article titled Forbidden Fruit and this was the article that talked about the cartel having infiltrated the avocado market So some of the things that you read are actually quoted from Harper's. I just want to clarify that, some of the stuff you read and I say is from my newsletter and the only way people are going to find out is to subscribe to my newsletter for God sake right? Always be closing! So Greg, the reason

17:27 It takes 12 times the water to grow an avocado than it does for a tomato. Look how watery a tomato is! The avocado is rich, its fatty and high energy so it takes so much more energy from the earth which is basically plants are drinking up water It's the water, the amount of water consumption that is a factor in the richness of the avocado. So what's happening in Mexico is that these cartels are running the avocado business they are just cutting down trees, the native pine forests which keep Mexico properly hydrated. Let's just say the land so the land is drying up. The pines actually release water into the air and the avocados suck water out of the ground but it's such a big business because there's such a popularity all through the world now for avocados particularly in America that these cartels

18:28 They take money from the growers for every kilo of harvest. And so, the cartels are chopping down the pine forest they're replacing them with avocado saplings that are sucking up the water and drying up the country this is why the avocado business is referred to in Mexico as blood guacamole And the trees that are growing there are the Haas variety, which is a hybrid of Mexican and I believe it's Guatemalan avocado strains. But all of these trees come from that first tree that Rudolf Haas grafted in his backyard in Pasadena in the 1920s. So we are looking at control of a country and that's where I go with the rest of the newsletter but we have to talk about

19:19 independent Mexican state, Chiron because they've done something pretty unusual. Yes very inspiring maybe we could take a page out of their book but tell the people about Chiron So apparently the Mexican Constitution guarantees indigenous communities the right to autonomy And in 2014, the courts of Mexico recognized the municipality of Cheron as autonomous sovereign. At the same time was entitled to apparently millions of dollars a year in state funding so now it's an independent zone and because it was granted its independence

20:10 It changed its whole infrastructure. So I'm going to quote from Harper's, the townspeople of Tehran kicked out the police and local government canceled elections locked down the whole area Tehran reopened with an entirely new state apparatus. Political parties were banned, a governing council had been elected, and a reforestation campaign was undertaken to replenish the barren hills." This means that places where the pines have been cut down and the avocados were growing right? Military force was chartered to protect the pine trees in the water supply of the town

20:49 And new water filtration and recycling programs were created, and the avocado was outlawed. No more avocados in Sharon! So they took over, and there are signs throughout the little area, planting of avocados is prohibited. The community police force the new police force wears fatigues black jackets with helmets they carry AR-15s and they have instructions to destroy avocado trees wherever they find them and anyone who grows illegal avocado will have his land taken by the government So they are reading pine trees in the town nursery and their plans to them where the avocado groves once stood. And this is there before a station program they are a mere twenty thousand people and this is what they've managed to achieve

21:42 So they changed the government, kicked out the cartels. Yeah you know we're led to believe that cartels are so powerful and so bloodthirsty and violent that you can't do any of that but here we go! Now Greg I did read in that Harper's article that there was another sovereign area that got its independence in 2018 But apparently now the cartels have infiltrated what are called auto-defensas. These are groups that defend themselves and now you can't even tell what's real defense, citizen defense and what's a cartel? We always say in the alt media movement that the bad guys infiltrate us and to date I've never heard of

22:33 Us wanting to infiltrate the bad guys, right? Right. Oh why don't we what's the matter with us? Well I think the reason is because The bad guys you know are kind of the established structure and anyone who gets brought into the established structure Is immediately suspected of being dirty so it's really hard to be a champion of the light when your Swimming around in the darkness because we've been made to be so skeptical over the years that no one would trust that person to actually be trying to do anything good. You mean if we come back to our group having once infiltrated, let's call it... We are run by cartels you know? That's reality and these cartels have apparently existed for a very long time in the Middle Ages they were merchant groups and they ran things

23:32 The definition is a group of producers who can lead to control the supplier prices of good service. So they were merchant guilds and syndicates associations of craftsmen, right british company that kind of thing but even smaller groups than that so we've always had these cartels hanging around hovering breathing down our necks and then we had these larger groups that use cartels to run economies, these authoritarian regimes. So now we have the world being run by ugly black cartels basically. That's what I think. Well, I agree with you and the whole idea of infiltration of the cartels... Let's just say the American machine, the big superstructure of government colluding with these

24:32 Robber barons these cartels if we want to use the term a lot of people think that has happened i don't really think so but, we are recording this right before a new administration or an old administration retakes control and a lot of people think that this is in infiltration of the traditional system by people who do have good intentions. You know that's obviously out there i'm curious what you think about it by the time this goes out to people the inauguration will have likely already happened but i know u followed rfk junior for a long time. And that kind of gotta be something thats a little bit interesting if not actually exciting, would he would be involved in things at high level considering what he says

25:20 Now there's a lot of people talking about that whole thing being infiltrated and that they've had to sit down and negotiate deals where it's like, look you can talk about seed oils but you can't talk about vaccines anymore. We can solve this problem over here we'll let you do that but you're not going to upset this over there because you're right it is all cartels there's money flowing in certain directions and any truth that's a threat to that Has to be carefully negotiated down so that the same old people can make the same amounts of money. But in terms of infiltration, it's just funny you bring it up because that conversation though I think it might be naive is happening right now curious what do you think? Well Greg, I believe that these appointments like RFK Jr have to be approved by Congress right

26:11 And so if and when that happens, that's really the determinating factor. Is he ever going to do anything? And then you're right. He can talk about seed oils but he might be told not to talk about this, that or the other thing. A lot of Kennedys have been bumped off. That's a scary thing. But the government of Mexico I found this very interesting apparently begged its cartels to please put their profits in the national banks Because otherwise there would be no Mexico. Right, you do talk about that a good amount and just really how interconnected everything is because

26:52 These cartels and these black markets it all does go back quite far it is all integrated those kind of a love triangle between the car tells the mexican government, any even the us government you mentioned that if. The drug business vanished the us economy would shrink nineteen to twenty two percent in the mexican economy which rank sixty three percent and Those numbers are pretty staggering. I've even heard Katherine Austin Fitz talk about how in the US, All the way down to the street level, drug trafficking is oftentimes the only money flowing through poor inner city communities. And it ends up propping up mom and pop restaurants or barber shops or whatever local community there is because the only people who have the money to spend in the community as people selling drugs even the corporate chains would probably close a few locations if that drug money wasn't circulating through those neighborhoods

27:50 So it is just interesting to think about the domino effect of it all. We do have a president who's saying we should call the cartels, a terrorist organization and use the full weight of the military now that could just be the idea that military contractors came up with trying to find a new conflict to spend the big budget on and justify even bigger budget but yeah everything is really integrated It seems like both economies would suffer greatly if something was actually done about the drug trade. Greg, I read a fantastic book and I ordered so many copies of it. I really want people to read this book. It's in my store avatarproducts.com and it's called Down by the River. It's by a very very amazing writer every line he writes is fantastic

28:46 to the air right so his name is charles boden and this book is down by the river everyone who lives in america and. who lives in Mexico should really read this book, Down by the River Charles Bowden. So it was written in 2002 and its about the West Texas border town of El Paso which faces the city of Juarez in the state of Chihuahua and Rio Grande kind of flows between the two cities. And El Paso-Juarez is an interface that

29:24 Very interesting and really kind of replicates this relationship between America and Mexico. Somebody I know who lived in El Paso for many years told me it's not even America, it is a crazy place! And Juarez is even worse okay? It is so poor And all these people in Mexico, these young able people they filter into the cities of Mexico looking for work. And there's no work! The Mexican economy has really been destroyed by a series of we'll put in quotes presidents and I go through that in this particular newsletter and Bowden goes through that in the book he writes and it was kind of shocking for me to read this and consider it that the drug merchants

30:17 in Mexico are really the most honest players in the land. And these people who come into the cities and look for work, and they don't find work... Well there are drugs! There's drugs that you can run even though there is no work So they take on whatever tasks they have within the cartels as farriers or God knows what I do not know how it all works but these drug merchants This is greedy murderous as they are the employee people based on their talents and not concerned that sex race class color religion. And there also boden rights one of the few industries in the developing sectors of the earth that really do we distribute income and this is what you just said

31:06 They do so at a level without parallel. Okay, money is dispersed among people who really need it but it's the drug industry that they're participating in this way more money than in these sweatshops where they have to stitch garments for people to buy from Target and Walmart on the other side of the border So, drugs as a major part of the economy of Mexico and America put money directly in the hands of the poor who need it and they can't get it at any other kind of job sector. Yeah, It's all little strange how its got a little bit of a Robin Hood effect you could say? Yes! Exactly so

31:53 If you take away, and Bowdoin wrote this book in the early 2000s. So Juarez I read in my newsletter decorated by mud huts and raw sewage is looking across the river at a first world economy. And that's really how the world is there's a separation between very poor brown skinned people who toil away and do whatever they can to be like the much richer white skin people on the other side of the tracks. So I am actually continuing this discussion in my current newsletter, but you ask what's going to happen? Are there well-intentioned people who are coming into political office now and are they gonna make a change in the country? Look, I don't know. I don't have a crystal ball we hope but

32:48 We could get metaphysical about this i don't know if we should we should really okay what do you mean by getting metaphysical about this alright so how do i say this, i think we live in a dimension that is always going to be trap us and press us and it's really about. How we meet these booby traps and how we meet these constant challenges. Now, you know if you look at a sparrow I always observe small creatures I live on a canyon and these creatures are constantly flittering about. They're frightened, a lot of the time they always looking over their shoulders you make the slightest move and they will hop off or fly off or whatever And that's kind of how we are in our lives but we want to be propped up by the state We expect that our economy and our integration into this system when we turn the tap the water should flow

33:50 When we flip the light switch, we should have a light. I mean what would it be like? I bought a book that is about the history of light and how people had to dip candles and how smelly they were And how laborious it was to make a candle out of beef tallow! Here we waltz into our room just hit the switch...and there's power! Then we complain that the utility company charging us so much for the bill you know Would we like to dip candles? Would we like to save our beef fat?" We don't think in those terms anymore. We don't think how much time and how much labor and energy and planning it took, to survive you know? Right even travel too! Like it'd be really hard for a person a few hundred years ago to grow up in Missouri move to California and then move to Florida yet I took it for granted that it was quite easy to do

34:47 Yeah, because you had U-Haul and you had a plan. You could visit first. I mean think how long it took when I was a little girl in the fifth grade we had an assignment. It was a class assignment. We got to make a giant mural for the hallway of the school and everybody had a piece of American history. and a part of the mural to put a painting or drawing on. And my part of the mural was the far end, and I decided—I don't know what the actual topic was that I was given but—my part was a picture of a covered wagon and it said on it California or bus. That's where I ended up!

35:35 Yeah i mean it is crazy when you think about all the modern conveniences we have and the complaints that we have as well there's a louis ck bed i believe or maybe was bill burr where he talks about complaining about cell phones not working inside give me a second its going to space and back in like these things on who knows if that's even true but, the point still stands at there's a lot of complex technology that. We can play about when it doesn't work one hundred percent of the time even though i might be killing us but let's get back to the metaphysical thing and the idea of what is this round people use the term prison planet, people say we live in a hell dimension is just kind of. Masked a little bit if anyone saw that show the good place spoiler alert that is sort of what it is is that you don't know your inhale because

36:29 The things are only slightly inconveniencing but all the time and it stacks up in your like man what is happening here. And i guess that's kinda what you're getting at is that this round this planet, it seems designed to keep us down to have this predator prey relationship maybe some people say it's a human energy farm for transdimensional intelligences I don't know, but that's what you mean by metaphysical. Right? It's probably not that the new administration is going to save the day because no one saves the day here. No one saves the day. Listen we can improve our own course through the day but i'm going to segue and you're not prepared so you're gonna have to fly by the speed of your pants. So I wrote a newsletter in February 2022

37:22 I don't know what it was called, but it was about a book called Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander. Have you ever heard of this guy? The name of the book sounds familiar! All right so my YouTube feed led me to a talk that was given in a church in Minnesota It was by Dr. Eben Alexander, who was a non-believer. He was Harvard trained neurosurgeon and he worked at some swanky hospital in Virginia and he woke up one morning and didn't feel well. This is very unusual for him so he told his wife that he wanted to stay in bed longer but his condition got worse within the hour and ended up having to be taken to the ER

38:10 And he says in his book that he apparently had this horrible bacterial meningitis. He said, I slipped into grand mal seizures and was rushed off to the emergency room where a very astute physician realized I might have meningitis did a lumbar puncture and when the fluid surrounding brain and spinal cord came out of my back it was thick white pus under pressure The doctor later told me that when she saw that, she knew I was dead. I was put on three very powerful antibiotics and by the end of the week they had tripled beyond the maximum dose one of those antibiotics trying to turn me around. I was down to a 2% chance of survival." All right so even Alexander was in a coma for a week and he was surrounded by all his friends because he was in a hospital that he worked at

39:04 And it turns out that during this week, he went on this incredible journey. And he went to all these realms... I'm getting terrible chills while i'm saying this! So what would your chills mean Greg? People everywhere tell me if you get chills like that it means it's true right? Sure Okay so he says that he lay unconscious, right? And he I write in my newsletter Dr. Alexander had been a hard science type all his life with no belief in heaven or God and very little understanding of what is consciousness as neurosurgeons operate only on the gelatinous brain itself. Neurosurgeons don't know much about consciousness so anyway

39:54 All I knew, he says when i came back to this world seven days later was this brilliant incredible ultra real spiritual journey. I had been on deep in coma Now, the me before would have told you that such an illness given that kind of severe bacterial meningitis is the perfect model for human death. In fact it's so perfect that nobody practically ever comes back to tell the tale. Given the destruction of my brain was apparent to my doctors through my neurologic exams and scans in lab values I should've had no experience at all while comatose

40:31 But he had an amazing journey, Greg. And he talks about how we really are connected into all these other realms. So I'm going to say something that I thought of last night. I've never thought of this before and it was in the middle of the night and I'm going my God, I need to write this down! I'm never gonna remember this but you Gregg in this interview have churned it up again so we have the three dimensions of our world Dimension two is a flat surface and dimension three is if you do geometry, x y and the z axis. So the first dimension would be just a dot second dimension would be width and length in the third dimension will be depth but the minute you add movement your in another dimension and movement that comes from life is yet another dimension right? And then there's intention

41:32 realms of possibility, will this entity in this space? Will it go here? Will it go there? Will it do this? Will it do that? Is it doing it intentionally? Is it doing it because its been influenced by other forces and factors. So now we're entering into what's called multi-dimensionality. Realms of possibility and realms of possibility enfold our lives I don't know if thats grammatical But you know what I'm saying? You could have never left California. You could have never left Missouri, you could've gone to Georgia instead of Florida and there are all these possibilities but your intention took you...you were a factor in your own movement so Alexander says that the brain is a collapsing device The place he went was-I mean he rode on a butterfly wing with a beautiful girl

42:34 You can't come back as a neurosurgeon and start babbling about this. And his pals at the hospital told him, this is a trick of the brain. You were never in any beautiful realm there weren't angels singing I mean all this music and stuff so he had an afterlife experience and it was so powerful that it caused him to stop his neurosurgery altogether trying to explain and explore this thing called consciousness If you read the book, and I think it's also very worth reading. They're diametrically opposed down by the river Charles Bowden fought the cartels and then this right? And he connected with what he calls The Great Aum. A-U-M. He calls it aum because he doesn't want to call it God because that's too conventional of word so aum is who writes

43:35 I'm referring to what some might call God, others might call Allah Brahman Vishnu Jehovah Yahweh. I don't care what the words are the words get in the way they make it look like it's an intellectual discussion high school college debate It's not that world is absolutely real and he says that I'm gonna say this because i think it's very interesting right before he got into that world greg so the first place you went in his coma was this horrible horrible dark space and he said he was caught

44:12 And he was terrified by it. He said, It was a claustrophobic muddy underworld that echoed with and I'm going to quote him A deep rhythmic pounding like the sound of metal against metal as if a giant subterranean blacksmith was pounding an anvil somewhere Pounding it so hard that the sound vibrates through the earth or the mud That he was in Or wherever it is you are I didn't have a body I was simply there In this place of pulsing pounding darkness The longer I stayed in this place, the less comfortable I became. Feeling like i wasn't really part of this subterranean world at all but trapped in it

44:52 Grotesque animal faces bubbled out of the muck, groaned and screeched. And then were gone again I heard an occasional dull roar Sometimes those roars changed to dim rhythmic chants Chants that were both terrifying and weirdly familiar As if at some point i'd known and uttered them myself The more the faces that bubbled up out of that darkness became ugly and threatening. The rhythmic pounding off in the distance, sharpened and intensified as well, became the work beat for some army of troll-like underground laborers performing some endless brutally monotonous tasks. The movement around me was as if reptilian worm like creatures were crowding past occasionally rubbing against me with their smooth or spiky skins."

45:43 So what would you call this? Hell, right. I mean he's in it! He's trapped it's dark he hears droning moaning like other people being trapped. He hears pounding and then these reptilian things are swishing past him touching him so he said it had this dank smell of biological death. Garosu, right and he stuck there And then the darkness began to break as a pure white light descended, obliterating the pounding spinning around and around in generating filaments tinged with gold. And so it pulled him out of there and then he found Greg this what's very interesting that he could leave through this channel of light and he could come back and he could leave and he could come back and he was in control

46:46 Are you going to say something? Well, yeah. It's a really interesting story. I'm trying to stay quiet when you're talking because you're not wearing a headset and I do hear myself coming through sometimes that I don't want to talk over you but yeah obviously it's a fascinating story i'm the first one to love a story like that how literal do you take that or what insights do you extract from that so I call this The Archonic Underworld and I think it's a bordering dimension to what we're in right now. And, I think the bad guys pull from it. I think they are CERN Hadron Collider when they look for God they're going into this area, this place and they're pulling energy from it and they mix this energy with our world and our cultures and our thinking and their succeeding because we don't realize that

47:46 We are beyond all this and we can do what Alexander did. We can go up that filigree light channel and interact with that higher realm as much as we want, but we can't he says because our brain is controlling us I've taken a talk that he did at the annual conference of the International Association of NDEs near-death experiences He says that this world is a murky little shadow world. That world through the light, and I haven't described much of what he encountered there but it was beautiful music in all different realms and the great alm was there and there's butterflies and whatnot you know beautiful things And this is universal throughout different cultures people who have NDE they see this stuff They experience this stuff

48:50 Right i've heard a lot of those stories and something else that is interesting but i wanna slide in here just to connect it back to modern conveniences a little bit. It's interesting how many modern conveniences have a kind of darkness to them, You could even say the water pipes we take for granted well it's also a floor i distribution network and its distribution at work to give toxic water to people. You can talk about the power grid sure we have lights great wealth you've read, be invisible rainbow behold electrification of the earth might be responsible for a lot of sickness including the flu season oddly enough and then you have all these people who

49:35 are inventors or have come up with some kind of technology and. Even though it's something that is a convenience to people it always has a dark edge even the wifi you know the wifi router people like oh I'm so glad i can connect, without the wires and then its like yeah now your circadian rhythm is messed up your mitochondrial dna is damaged Bring up another neurosurgeon jack cruz i saw you posted a presentation that he did and he talks about blue light makes us fat it's causing the dysregulation of our bodies and damaging the mitochondria is always big on that super interesting guy,

50:14 He has talked about all the patents on the digital screens, the ones we're using right now. That they were engineered for maximum damage and mind control because of the mental states that the blue light from these screens puts us in. He's talked about how they could have built them several different ways but they used the insights from MKUltra and other things to make them as damaging as possible without anyone really noticing And he was in deep talks with RFK Jr. and Nicole Shanahan, I mean she was chosen as the running mate because she was hip to this from her marriage with Google co-founder Sergey Brin and it gets scary! It seems like all this technology is intentionally weaponized and just while we're still in this first hour here I wanted a slide in a quote from a totally unrelated thing you wrote about friendships versus bot ships where were some

51:09 We're seeing more and more people in this lonely reality go to AI and bots for companionship. And you said this, Jeffrey Hinton and George Bolle and a few human genius types in between can be credited with the creation of AI which has not yet reached its apotheosis. Hinton, a British computer scientist is the great grandson Boal who was a self-taught logician and mathematician born in the early 1800s. Boal had a mystical experience at the age of 17 that spurred him to figure out for mankind the mathematics of human reasoning and thought he almost got there giving us an investigation, of the laws of thought and his own system of symbiotic logic based on a yes no on off methodology

51:59 90 years later, Claude Shannon a graduate student at MIT applied his two-value approach to electronics and the information age was born. So I've done other interviews about aspects of technology, the transistor. It always seems to come with this trickster aspect to it or arconic aspects to it or demonic aspect to it where it's like here is a gift but a gift with a twist that will slowly kill you and its just weird that even in this context...I read that because your talking about the information age and some of its foundations and this guy had mystical experience at 17

52:37 I'd like to know more about that. Did he tap into this archonic underworld and get some insight that ended up putting us on this dark path? Hard to say, but do you know much more about his mystical experience?" I looked to see if i could find anything about it and it's referred to but I searched for quite a while...I didn't find any details. He was very young so maybe people didn't believe him maybe he never wrote it down who knows! But it triggered right?! So did This is what Alexander tells us. He says that consciousness is not created by the brain, so I'm going back to the dimensions we are multi-dimensional we have intention will we have this thing called consciousness which apparently can travel us into these realms with angels and harps and whatnot and we can meet the great all of it if we want to right? So he says that

53:31 If you believe the brain is creating consciousness, the only thing that would be going on is chemical reactions. Physics, chemistry biology all those laws being followed by the molecules in your brain and all simply chemical reactions free will and consciousness would be considered illusions of those chemical reaction but my journey showed me the exact opposite is the case So he says, Greg that we are conscious in spite of our brain. Our brain is there to act as a reducing valve or filter because if we had all of consciousness at our fingertips all the time, we would be overwhelmed and we would never get anything done. We would never make our beds and brush our teeth and do this linear stuff. And I mean, I think these guys pull technology but they are

54:20 pairing themselves with this arconic underworld a lot of these people who invent these things i mean there are purest to our inventors like we could take tesla as an example and then the fiends descend on the purist and take their work can channel it into their own markets, what's your own programs and agendas so. If you had consciousness at your disposal, I wrote. You would never be fascinated by the polychrome sewage of your cell phone." So he says Alexander during the brain based physical portion of our existence and that's what we're talking about all this technology is brain-based it's linear

55:07 It's very complex. It is so complex that for people like us who aren't schooled in it, it seems abstract and spatial we cannot hold all these details in our brains I was talking to a physicist engineer yesterday and he was explaining something about capacitors to me And I could barely understand it! Yet its very linear for him So our brain blocks out or veils that larger cosmic background just as the sun's light blocks the stars We can only see what our brain's filter allows. Okay, the brain particularly its left side linguistic logical part that which generates our sense of rationality and a feeling of being a sharply defined ego or self is a barrier to our higher knowledge for experience. So how much of our waking life do you consider to be somewhat manufactured

56:04 Limited down by our brain you started talking kind of about the wide range of dimensions and possibility in that the brain reduces and collapses us down to one reality shared reality. That were in but how intertwined is the archonic underworld, add these potentially even positive realms that we just don't even know where they are right so this is what i wrote in my newsletter this was my february twenty twenty two newsletter Okay so I finally started to get it if my brain is a collapse or filter something that shrinks down the eternal vastness and light in brilliance of the core of all. So that i can retain my senses and function here she saw about functionality you wouldn't function you'd be tripping out all the time so. The brain allows you to function gear

56:59 Then i wrote how it does this rendering must be something that my own particular logic slash ego slash cell has a role in designing. I should spend less time rationalizing down, into functionality and more time stretching up towards the divine. Dr Alexander points out that we should not have to rely on a catastrophic health event to bring us to the edge of death, to gain this understanding. So I wrote why not just fortify your divinity? And that is up to you how you choose to do that these dark individuals are not for defying their divinity The apples and the Googles

57:43 I'm not for to find their dignity there pulling our conic stop and introducing it to you, end their in thralling unit transfer you with that. So that's where I am. That phrase, fortify your divinity, that is up to you." I like it and do you think this is a conscious relationship between the inventors of Silicon Valley? The makers of all this technology and the something else, the archonic underworld? Well they definitely like to play with it. If you've ever read about

58:21 Jack Parsons, is that his name? And the stuff that was going on in his labs and how attuned they tried to be to that iconic place. Even Alexander doesn't call it The Iconic Underworld. That's my word for it after reading about it. I'm going like gosh this line This is where they're pulling energy from and admixing it with our world. And we're falling prey to it, we're sitting ducks because we're not fortifying our divinity enough dude! Right on sister So what should we do? That's the question The people who are really concerned about CERN

59:04 Think that they could be doing something there that would break reality and it would cause these. Two places to be so intertwined that you couldn't separate them out again the people who are worried about the coven shots for example, what say that the gene pool in the dna of humanity has been completely altered and it won't go back So, some of these people are working on things that have serious consequences that can't really be unraveled. And I do think that's a huge concern. Greg, I almost dare not mention this because...I started to carry sulfur in my store MSM methyl sulfonylmethane sulfur

59:51 Methyl sulfonylmethane is known as MSM sulfur, sometimes called organic sulfur. And it only is called organic because it contains a carbon atom too in fact. So here's the thing our soil is messed up the iconic underworld relationship that, you know... The American government paid growers in the 1950s to start using chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Why? Because those were post-war industries that didn't have any place to go or goods to sell so our soil has become so deeply eroded and wrecked by the presence of all these chemicals

1:00:33 that we don't get the elements that we need, those elements being iodine, magnesium, sulfur. Very basic stuff you can look at these elements in the periodic table but the sulfur cycle of the earth has been interrupted and I write this in a flyer that goes out with every order of sulfur but one of the things that sulfur does is it's a chelating agent so I have strung a few dots together this is my own theory These vaxes have a lot of heavy metals in them and the metals, according to Anna Mihalchea who's done a lot of research on this. The metal provides the conductive medium that is necessary because it facilitates bioelectricity piezoelectricity

1:01:23 within the body and these undisclosed ingredients that are nanotechnological in nature, that are said to be replicating and making more of themselves and creating systems and devices within us. Those things cannot manufacture themselves without conductivity in the bloodstream which is provided by the metals so sulfur chelates or removes the metal So the more you remove the metallic content of your bloodstream, the less of a chance you give this stuff to generate. So that's one reason why I think it is so important to be using sulfur on a daily basis because it is no longer in the soil and the plants aren't getting it they're not able to store it It was plants that gave us sulfur because they store it and gave the animals...it's very important for mammalian metabolism

1:02:20 So you say there's no recourse, but there are these recourses. These are things that you have to really dig to find and then you have to try them and you have to see how well they work. But we are experimental victims in this very oppressive realm. That doesn't mean that we're going to all die and have a terrible time but I can't see ways to completely turn this around and make it a paradise Which is what a lot of people talk about all this could be a paradise i don't think it was ever a paradise i see you saying yeah seems like just look at any era and it seems as if there is a one percent of some kind that isn't slaving all the people in a given space. And that goes back to the beginning of history as far as we know and even go back to the origins of people because so many talk about,

1:03:16 Gold and us being invented or strongly engineered and encouraged to mine gold and that's why we're obsessed with gold in the conquistadors were obsessed with golden all this kind of stuff i mean who really knows but definitely the system is built on the exploitation of many by a few. Yeah, and we walk right into that. We are herd animals and I don't think we know the difference between following and being exploited. When a leader shows up and says, ''I will lead you.'' I'm just speaking very loosely people go yes lovely do that. We'll follow you but then

1:04:02 that turns into exploitation and it's just so natural for human beings to follow a leader, but they don't seem to be able to do much with the exploitation. I agree with that as well it almost seems like we've been engineered that way or its a part of the super structure that is this dimension people say it's a human energy farm that the reason why there's so much cultivated negative energy is cuz there something else feeding on that Right that's the relationship with the archonic underworld so as we're kind of circling around the two hour mark i wanted to make sure we do save time too. Really mention your products in the avatar store because this is the part where everybody first and second our people would hear it tell them about some of the new additions the,

1:04:57 Keyboard grounding pad, the RF modem router guard. Sulfur iodine magnesium ion." Okay so listen I tried nicely and i've tried in a harsh punitive way to tell people to go on ethernet wire your computer stop sleeping with that router pinging all night in the next room and people don't do it So there's a router guard It's a low tech no brainer it silver mesh it's a bag you drop it over your router and as a drawstring will cut the signal. I come across one person with a router who single that just doesn't cut, i don't know what to do about that guys router and i told him get another one get another router. Cut the signal but the wifi still works is just weekend

1:05:49 Absolutely the radiation is lowered by thirty to eighty percent wifi still works and if you want it. Increase the wifi signal let's just say pull the bag tight drawstring i mean hello can u get, you open the drawstring a little bit in bloom you get more signal so at night you could tighten the string and you don't get irradiated as much. So anyway, that's a good thing. Then there is sulfur I've sold a lot of sulfur in the last couple of months and I dread another avalanche of sulfur orders but i'm happy to send it around It's just tremendous something we should do a show on sulfur if I cross your path again Of course you would! Hopefully I will then there's Wiley's Wash soap

1:06:36 Laundry powder and you can scrub your counters with it. The soap bars, they're on the Sun & Skin page my friend makes them he's a tremendous soap maker he left six figure corporate job to make so these tremendous very very amazing soap bars. They last longer than other soaps men can wash their hair shave this yes like all different kinds of soaps. And I have the grab bag, I buy different kinds from him and for a little bit less I will pick the bars for you most people love everything he even has you know pine tar gum turpentine these come from the resin of pine trees people think turpentine is an industrial solvent but it's not it's from the pine tree So anyway that's the story of Avatar products

1:07:28 I appreciate anyone who buys from me i usually end up sometimes when i have to have communication with the customer i need somebody really fantastic my customers are wonderful people. You guys wonderful people like it and of course people can get the newsletter by going to your website about this guy dot com they can follow through, the links there but It's great to talk to you again. I apologize that it's been so long, i mean i don't think anybody that i talked to now can say that we started in 2013 going back to the 60th show ever recorded So to me that is a big deal and i just appreciate what you do You are a legend in this space

1:08:15 if i think about the last one we did it was twenty twenty one and it was largely about terrain theory and i think around that time, i was just a little sick of the health stuff because it dominated so much of the cove in chapter and you've got a new. level, a new roster of people like Dr. Andy Wakefield and Malone and a lot of these doctors Jessica Rose who are doing the rounds on podcasts? And I was just like man, I need some other topics besides health that can't be all health shows all the time so i think that's probably how The Gap started

1:08:59 And then, you know life just gets in the way but I'm glad we could do it again. No i'm very happy because people wrote to me and said why aren't you on higher side chats? I said-I tried to email him and he doesn't respond so maybe that's what... Now that I didn't know! But Greg I just want to blow your mind here Please do So we talked about cartels at the beginning of this show right? And I read that book by Charles Bowden who actually ventured into Mexico and met with some of these nefarious characters, and heard these terrible stories. And the book is a thick book! He spent years researching this book. Then I opened my favorite Harper's magazine...and I don't read these magazines in sequence so I have like a pile of Harpers. I just pick one and start reading it. This is July 2023. It's a book review. Here's the book title. Drug Cartels Do Not Exist

1:09:53 by Oswaldo Zavala, translated by William Savinar Vanderbilt University Press 206 pages 3495. Wow! There are people in Mexico and these are people who have their feet on the ground who've had family members killed dismembered hanging from bridges that kind of thing right? And they say drug cartels do not exist you know who it is according to them The police and politicians. So I was reading this thinking, oh my God! Here's one guy who says drug cartels you know and everyone all these people talking about cartels we have movies about them and then comes this guy who writes a book it doesn't exist so that's the beauty of our world

1:10:44 Well, I definitely think the dividing line between cartels and police and government and all that it's more blurred than ever for sure. Maybe it always was which is the argument he's presenting It seems yeah so I'm going to send you this article And you can read it. It's a book review. I appreciate that well Again, thank you for your time. Thank you for all the great work you do for sending me the newsletters and I'm glad that we could talk about some off-the-radar stuff today! I'm glad that my avocado blood money quota has been filled for episode topics. Good! You can take a rest now. Indeed. All right well enjoy the rest of your day enjoy luxurious

1:11:35 California, like I once did and take care. Thank you! Goodbye everyone Alright, Sophia Smallstorm back in the hot seat. It has been a long time obviously we talked about that but she is great I don't have a good reason as to why it's been so long...I think maybe with our last one being during the COVID aftermath and her being such a health-focused guest? Maybe i just wanted to lay all that down for a bit but she's obviously versatile And she's one of those few people that I think of as really embodying the best parts of the Californian archetype. I am familiar with the community she lives in, it's a little bit small, it's off-the radar local business supporting corporate chain rejecting high quality food and products and homelessness is not a problem and there's walkable everything It's a dream really

1:12:36 It's the California you see in the movies, but it's not the California talked about on the news. I can say having moved that yeah there is a lot of political freedom in Florida contrasted to California But its also kindof a food desert Its hard to find organic food here, its hard to find locally grown organic for sure. Its not something that the culture here really respects or prioritizes And it's been a bit of a problem. It's a huge contrast and one of the main things I miss about that Californian culture, the farmers markets, the acknowledgement of how important it is to let money flow within the community all that kind of stuff but her and I are just in different stages of life for someone starting a young family in the 2020s with the prices in areas like hers already well out of reach

1:13:31 It just isn't gonna work. So I will take a little gentle ribbing about leaving, but there's plenty I miss and also plenty i don't. However, I was thinking more about the cartels and avocados and I do find it to be an interesting story along with just how dependent the whole nation... well theirs AND ours I guess both nations are dependent on the drug trade And for the cartels, strategically yes. Use the extra cash to compromise other markets that are easier to be legitimized in obviously pretty smart of them but it's really not much different than say the Jaquita Banana story you know? The banana republic term... That whole thing of lobbying to use the might of the military or the CIA to compromise growing areas for these corporations

1:14:22 to stage coups, to get these leaders in the third world and the tropical areas to be basically just puppets for one of our corporations. It happens all the time and of course we like our gangsterism to be civilized but it's not all that different than what the cartels do and I'm sure this is part of the argument that cartels make all the time to justify their actions But yes, another example of me just kind of booking guests without paying much attention to the dates and what's going on in the world. And I'm sure this would have been a bit more current and relevant if we had recorded right after the inauguration instead of days before maybe it's better because then we can't just talk about all the other things that other shows are talking about but clearly a lot has happened! And i think a good chunk of the country

1:15:16 I saw some statistics lately that young people in the US and Europe are way more willing to accept dictatorship. And it was presented as a very scary thing to see in our youth, and right yeah...I don't want dictatorship either! But to play devil's advocate for them, anyone under 40 has just seen election after election where we get all these empty promises and then oops Congress is gridlocked. Nobody will work with anybody here comes another filibuster here's another 55% vote when 60 percent is required it's always the excuse right? So when I see a stat like that I just think that younger people in particular are like

1:15:56 Fine, I guess i'm okay with moving that direction because it seems like the only way to do anything. And so Trump signed over a hundred executive orders so far in 11 days and undid like 70 of Biden's...and look you'd have to go through each one and decide how YOU feel about it but I see both the excitement over just getting to fucking work and the concerns over hey uh what happened to going through the appropriate channels for some of this stuff? Do we really want to set a precedent of government by decree? And even for the Trump fans, fine. You like the guy good! Well he's only going to be in office for four years and then we've set a precedent for someone you might not like it's difficult difficult nuanced stuff but of course We got a big announcement about Project Stargate such an esoterically drenched name for basically a smart city AI infrastructure deal

1:16:54 I'm sure we'll be talking about that for years. And we got all this talk about Doge and smaller government and eliminating all this bloat, great again sure but a lot of alternative people are saying that what's actually happening is these positions are being cleared out so there's no resistance left to these sweeping changes many of which are not going to be good And I think we gotta ask if we're in the middle of an AI war already. What's going on with these planes and these collisions, and these crashes? You know...I think there is some real behind-the-curtain kind of stuff going on. We've talked about the Talpiot program in the past. I think something like that might be happening with China too

1:17:36 I heard one journalist break it down as that we might not know why these planes crashed or collided until a few years down the road when China wants to take Taiwan or wants to do something and they call the president and say, hey remember those crashes? Wouldn't it be a shame if that happened hundreds of more times this week. Maybe you should focus on that and let us do what we're doing or take these tariffs off for whatever leverage is leverage I'm just curious if these computer systems are compromised and this is just the tip of the iceberg. That would be my big concern, they can make some planes collide today but what about this spilling into critical infrastructure killing the power or water in big cities? We don't do any of our own shit! You can criticize the tariff play

1:18:27 But at this point, if you were given the wheel how do you incentivize people to build stuff here? Because building stuff here is the only way that we maybe get some of the jobs back and also control our own production. If you want to reel back globalism in a world dominated by financial incentives then you have to use some kind of financial incentive to move the needle back the other way I mean, who knows what's really going on behind the scenes but on the surface level that makes logical sense to me. But so much is happening so fast it's hard to really keep track of and make a proper assessment before you're hit with some next thing? But I can say I don't trust the Tech Bro administration and think they might be grossly outplayed and out of their depth. What are ya gonna do?!

1:19:18 Pay attention to the things you can control and have the grace to ignore the rest or something like that. I don't know, i never went to AA but that's the motto and we can say no to jabs and we can try to have our own backup power and good local food supplies and unplug from the internet when we need it And then you just kind of got to let the chips fall where they may! That said, I did have a good time today though shouldn't wait so long next time to check in with Sophia she really is willing to go anywhere It took us a minute to get going, but I think when we opened it up towards the end of the first hour and then into the second hour We started cooking with gas. We talked about grounding and electron deficiency And cellular repair corruption in the silver and gold markets abusive mining Of the Cerro Rico mountain and then we dared to mention Sandy Hook and

1:20:13 What Sophia called the arconic nerve. I like that term, that there's these things that are just at level 11 don't go there you're hitting the arconic nerve and we mentioned one other thing that might be such a nerve but all good stuff The full 2 hour interview is always better and deeper than just the first so often i hear from people well i never signed up because i felt like it was complete But that is why I try to at least bullet point a few of the topics in the second hour, but it's always deeper and better because we get more comfortable as we go along. Sometimes get a little more loose-lipped if you know what i'm saying! And we got almost 800 great interviews in that archive for PLUS members come on in the waters fine use the link right at the top of the show notes and see for yourself. In higher side news

1:21:07 The big hire soup event is happening and the details are ironed out. Gordon and I are going to be doing a free live talk and hangout on March 8th at High Springs Brewing in High Springs, Florida noonish till about 5pm Could we have sold tickets to this? Yeah! Could we have called in some other people and tried to make it a bigger thing maybe a multi-day event oh yeah we could have But I don't like seeing these big conferences with these two $300 ticket prices. It gets a little crazy, so we said whatever! We're gonna do a smaller thing? What more do you need besides the card table and me and Gordon having some topics to talk about? Some drinks, some company, and a good hang... And why do you need to charge for that?! So let's see what happens! We've never put out a free event to the wider unpaid audience before, so we really don't know what kind of turnout to expect

1:22:02 Usually when we combine the tribes we keep it to members only so as to not overwhelm any business or coffee shop that we might be using just to know we have a more managed situation because when we did Austin, we didn't charge either but we only told our inner circle and this time were just gonna go for it life is short events like these are rare. Come join the fun. The guys at High Springs are listeners and you might recall me calling out a few of their meetups in the past, so we're in good company but it is an out-of-the way place not too close to any major city and herein comes the second layer of the event We are renting a party bus here in Tampa to drive us there and back And that is open to you as well

1:22:48 The bus is not free though, it's 75 bucks. Kinda sucks but that is just the cost of the bus divided by the seats on it So you can get yourself to High Springs and hang out with both us and a buncha like-minded people for free or hop on the bus with us in Tampa It's a 2 hour trip there There is also a bathroom on the bus and its drink friendly so we're gonna be having some good pregame fun and then of course we will bring you back in the evening. The bus will be meeting in front of the Tampa Theater, a landmark that anyone in Tampa knows and hot tip Supernatural is next door! They make the best breakfast sandwiches in the city so I see myself smoking a joint in the park across the street grabbing a coffee and a breakfast sandwich and some beers for the road and hopping on that bus and having a good time with the people

1:23:40 If you want to go to the event, please RSVP on the event page at higher side meetups.com we just want to have a decent idea of how many people will show up and that's also where you will find the link to secure a bus seat if you want to do that too not bad to have a sober driver back to the city right? So I just had to let you guys know about that i'm glad were able to bring High Springs Brewing some business since they are kind of in the network and just good people I guess you can call me the Dave Portnoy of conspiracy podcasting. We're supporting local businesses, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself before we go over other things on the meetup calendar. We gotta go over the rating of the last episode Andrew Collins a legend in the ancient hidden history space and I could have called it with my eyes closed 4.7. I expect no less he is the man He can talk plasmas shamanism megalithic sites

1:24:38 Anunnaki, mystic religious relics all sorts of great things and the overlap between all of them. I love how he gives his take on the foundation of a lot of religious myths and tropes. I'm largely on that page We had a few people grumbling about some comments He made about black holes sure be that as it may great episode And you know, sometimes I listen to a guy like Andrew Collins and i start thinking about the D-Wave computer or looking at like the shape of a server farm. And I consider the black cube and how foundational it is to our religions even the cross being an unfolded cube what is this voice that people are picking up? And is transmitting through the Ark of the Covenant

1:25:25 I think about the cyclical nature of things and stories of highly advanced Atlantis, and i wonder if what was being worshipped or heard was some sort of supercomputer from Atlantis playing the role of God for people who are just too far removed to understand what it was. Or is! If it's still out there they say the truth is so shocking people would not be able to handle it And when you consider how religious some people are What if aliens and UFOs are aspects of this super system that was built by ancient humans? Who knows. That's probably something to save for another time, but 4.7 I love it! So glad I got Andrew Collins to come on truly honored i hope i did him justice And as for the rest of the meetup calendar February is pretty active February 3rd Gail Brath's L house in Auckland New Zealand been calling that one out for a minute February 7th Bunk's Bar in Portland Oregon
