THC 109: Xaviant Haze | Reptilian Aliens, Ancient Egypt, & Elvis
MKUltra and the Celebrity Prototype
Greg Carlwood and Xavier Hayes debate whether Elvis Presley was an early test case for MKUltra-style celebrity mind control. While Carlwood sees parallels with modern stars like Britney Spears, Hayes argues that Elvis was a "self-made" figure who became a victim of pharmaceutical dependency rather than a programmed asset. They discuss Elvis's personal interest in esoteric and metaphysical literature, describing him as a "seeker" similar to the podcast's audience.
