Topic: War Propaganda

The discussion turns to recent missile strikes in Iran and the difficulty of verifying information in the modern media landscape. Davis points out the strange economic interdependencies in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, such as Russia paying gas transit fees to Ukraine. He suggests that these conflicts are often managed to destabilize supply chains and benefit multi-billionaires through market manipulation.

Gordon White warns against the "possessing spirit of war," an ancient imaginal force that he claims is currently affecting populations in Europe and the West. He notes how previously peaceable individuals have suddenly adopted a "bloodlust" regarding the conflict with Vladimir Putin and Russia. Referencing Charles Eisenstein, the discussion suggests that people cannot be reasoned out of positions they were "unreasoned" into by propaganda.

The discussion addresses the high death tolls associated with Napoleon's campaigns and accusations of cultural extermination. Bosley argues that while Napoleon was imperfect, many atrocities were exaggerated by propaganda or committed without his personal approval. He explicitly distinguishes Napoleon from figures like Adolf Hitler, suggesting the truth of his character lies between the views of adoring fans and harsh critics.

Aleister Crowley reportedly worked within a German propaganda cell in New York led by Ambassador von Bernstorff to undermine American support for the Allies. Churton discusses the theory that Crowley used psychological disinformation to encourage German ruthlessness, such as the sinking of the Lusitania, knowing it would actually provoke American entry into the war. This reckless strategy is compared to the exploits of Victorian adventurer Richard Burton.

Rudolf Hess remained the sole prisoner at Spandau Prison for 21 years after other high-ranking Nazis were released. Despite Cold War tensions, the United States, United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union maintained a unified, strict military guard over the frail man until his death in 1987. The continued classification of Hess documents suggests his case holds a historical significance comparable to the JFK assassination.

The conversation addresses how the corporate media suppresses the diagnosis of social cancer by lowering the "social immune system" through editorial censorship. McMurtry recounts his attempts to publish critiques of the Iraq War as a supreme crime of aggression under the Nuremberg Charter, noting the media's refusal to report on the 500,000 children killed by sanctions. He further analyzes the creation of "enemy" ideologies, such as anti-communism and the rise of jihadism facilitated by Zbigniew Brzezinski, as tools to justify systemic destruction.

Astrology has frequently been co-opted as a tool for political propaganda, notably during the English Civil War and World War II. Ronald Reagan famously utilized an astrologer, which some suggest helped him break the pattern of presidential assassination attempts. When astrology enters the mainstream or is embraced by power, it often loses its purity and becomes a weaponized asset for state interests.

U.S. foreign policy is criticized for facilitating multinational corporate expansion through regime change, citing historical examples in South America and the recent conflict in Ukraine. Briney suggests the installation of a new Ukrainian government was tied to signing a free trade agreement with Europe and opening shale formations to fossil fuel companies. She notes that Americans are often the least informed about these actions due to a domestic news cycle heavy on propaganda.

Greg Carlwood introduces a song by listener Don Paul Moore titled "Mr. Morgan's War." The track explores how JP Morgan allegedly bribed newspaper editors to sway American public opinion in favor of entering World War I. Carlwood praises the use of art and music to expose historical psychopathy and directs listeners to Moore's SoundCloud page before signing off for the week.

The episode concludes with the full broadcast of "Mr. Morgan's War" by Don Paul Moore. The lyrics describe the loss of individual thought due to mass deception and corporate greed. The song specifically names JP Morgan and calls for an end to "made-up wars" and the "house of slaughter" created by those in power.
