Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your room.

dan friesen
Hey everybody!
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are.
unidentified
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you.
dan friesen
What's up?
Today, my bright spot, Jordan, is...
I didn't know this thing existed, but I ordered it, and I'm excited for it to come.
It has not come yet, so it's sort of a preemptive bright spot.
But I hate doing laundry, because I have to go down some flights of stairs, and then I have to go to another building, and it's in the basement of another building.
It's such a hassle to carry this heavy hamper of clothes.
And so I found one that has, like, backpack straps.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
dan friesen
Yeah, so I have a backpack strap, a laundry basket.
jordan holmes
I like it, like a papoose.
I'll be living it.
dan friesen
Yep, living it up.
So I'm now excited to do laundry in the future.
It's great.
jordan holmes
At least for the first couple of times while it's still novel, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Then it'll get boring and I'll need to...
jordan holmes
Then it'll be like, I need a...
dan friesen
Satchel bag style.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
Yeah, let's just switch it up somehow.
Keep it fresh.
jordan holmes
I like the idea of a sleigh.
I think you should have a sleigh that attaches like a belt.
dan friesen
That's going to be tough on the stairs.
jordan holmes
We'll be tough on the stairs.
That's a good point.
Going down the stairs, though, a lot easier.
dan friesen
It could have, like, a couple of slinkies that it uses.
That could work.
jordan holmes
That could work.
dan friesen
So what about you?
jordan holmes
My bright spot, Dan, is, as I said last week, you know, SGDQ, Summer Games Done Quick, just wrapped up, and they finished with over $3 million raised over the week.
But what's so cool about it is that yesterday they went from, like, two-point-something, In 24 hours, three-something.
dan friesen
That's great.
For Doctors Without Borders.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
It was incredible to watch.
It was so cool.
dan friesen
Can I ask you, I haven't watched much of this at all, or any of it this time.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Does it have to be a summer game?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Because I was thinking, okay, so it's got to be Mario Tennis.
jordan holmes
No, it's more like that is when it happens.
dan friesen
Right, right, right.
But you can still do a game that has a wintry theme.
Tropical Freeze.
unidentified
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.
jordan holmes
Well, they do these Mario ROM hacks.
One of them was made out of this game called Celeste, so it had snow and all that stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was all there.
dan friesen
Played that Celeste quite a bit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's a good game.
dan friesen
It was pretty fun.
Yep.
Jordan, today we have something fairly fun also.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
Yeah.
What a curveball.
jordan holmes
That's a wild...
dan friesen
Well, look, here's the deal.
We're going to be releasing this.
It's the 4th of July.
And according to Alex and Roger Stone on their big exclusive from last week, Trump is going to announce his candidacy.
On the 4th.
jordan holmes
100% will, guaranteed.
dan friesen
But maybe there'll be strategic flexibility.
jordan holmes
Well, strategic flexibility is what it is.
dan friesen
Now, I don't want to pile on and say more about this lest Trump actually does announce it.
jordan holmes
It's really entirely possible.
dan friesen
So I want to put Alex on the back burner.
And thankfully, I found something wonderful.
kerry cassidy
Okay, well, thank you very much.
And please give our regards, if possible, to Squatch.
solomon berg
I will.
jordan holmes
Yes!
Thank you!
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Found a new Project Camelot episode.
jordan holmes
Give our regards to, I believe it was Squatch?
dan friesen
Squatch.
jordan holmes
It was Squatch.
Shortened for Sasquatch.
dan friesen
That's correct.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
That is correct.
This...
I can't...
I cannot wait to talk about this.
I have watched so much shit, Project Camelot, trying to find things for us to talk about, and this is the best.
I felt like somebody who'd been walking through the desert who had found water.
jordan holmes
Finally, finally!
My kingdom for a horse!
unidentified
Yes, yes.
dan friesen
And I don't know anything about this guy, but...
I hope he's not some weirdo, problematic, horrible person, because I like him.
jordan holmes
Oh, now we're in real good territory.
dan friesen
So, all this.
Get excited for that.
But first...
jordan holmes
I'm very excited.
dan friesen
Let's say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
That's a great idea.
dan friesen
So first, Smalliv and Voodoo would like one from the Horrible Man.
Thank you so much, you're now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
unidentified
Thank you.
dan friesen
Next, Christian berries taste disgusting without whale butter.
Happy birthday to the hollow-boned...
Beelzebub of Killer Whale Island.
We all love you very, very much.
That might be late, but thank you so much.
You're now policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Word count.
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Next, he's not that kind of doctor.
Dr. Stu P. Thank you so much.
You are now policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Uh-oh, this one might be late, too.
Happy birthday, Squirrel Girl from Star-Lord.
Thank you so much.
You are now policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
Thank you.
dan friesen
And Dreamy Creamy Black Goo, thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
And Jordan, we got a technocrat up here in the mix.
So thank you so very much to Loose Change and its consequences have been detrimental to human ascension.
Thank you so much.
You are now a technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
I have risen above my enemies.
I might quit tomorrow, actually.
I'm just going to take a little breaky now.
A little breaky for me.
And then we're going to come back, and I'm going to start the show over.
But I'm the devil!
I've got to be taken off the air!
unidentified
Fuck you!
alex jones
Fuck you!
I've got plenty of words for you, but at the end of the day, fuck you and your New World Order, and fuck the horse you rode in on, and all your shit!
Maybe today should be my last broadcast.
Maybe I'll just be gone a month, maybe five years.
Maybe I'll walk out of here tomorrow, and you never see me again.
That's really what I want to do.
I never want to come back here again.
I apologize to the crew and the listeners yesterday that I was legitimately having breakdowns on air.
I'll be better tomorrow.
dan friesen
He's going to be a lot better if Trump announces.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I believe it.
I believe it.
dan friesen
But we will leave that to the side of our mind, not give it another thought until Wednesday.
jordan holmes
Absolutely not.
dan friesen
But for now, let's just bask in the wonderful waters of Squatch.
kerry cassidy
Hi, everyone.
unidentified
Hi, Kerry!
kerry cassidy
I'm Kerry Cassidy from Project Camelot, and I'm here with Major Solomon Berg, and we're going to be doing what might be considered a groundbreaking interview about his dealings with an off-world race.
That is comprised of what we know of as, in some cases, Sasquatch, in some cases, Yetis.
dan friesen
We know him by a lot of names.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
Harry and the Hendersons.
jordan holmes
I'm with it.
I am very much waiting for Major Solomon Berg to be like, Get out of here!
unidentified
We don't want you anymore!
jordan holmes
Go!
dan friesen
Get out of here!
Solomon Berg, I have to say, is one of the more likable people who's come on.
jordan holmes
That's great.
dan friesen
That is great.
He does still seem like he's a bit weird, and I don't believe anything he's saying.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
But if there's anybody who I've kind of wanted to believe, I think it's him.
jordan holmes
Yeah?
dan friesen
Yeah.
And if Sasquatch is talking to somebody...
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I think he's a fine person for Sasquatch to be talking to.
jordan holmes
Well, then that's great!
dan friesen
I also should say right up top, I don't know if he's fucking with Carrie.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
There is a small chance that this is a prank.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
I don't know for sure.
jordan holmes
We'll leave open that possibility.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But look, he's a major.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
He's also apparently quite an accomplished researcher and anthropologist.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that's exciting.
kerry cassidy
You are a...
I guess a doctor of anthropology and also a major.
Are you a major in the United States Army or a Navy or a major in where you're located?
Can you explain that as well?
solomon berg
I have maintained the title major despite my current what you could call outlaw status.
My last My posting was with the United States Marine Corps as part of a group called Project Black Kraken.
dan friesen
Okay.
So, like, less than a minute into this interview, I am fucking hooked.
jordan holmes
Not a major, but better believe I am.
dan friesen
I was a major, and I have kept that title, even though we've taken on an outlaw status.
We are off the grid.
Me and Black Kraken are off the grid.
unidentified
Awesome!
dan friesen
Awesome!
jordan holmes
Okay, if you are fucking with somebody right out the gate, you're nailing it.
Fantastic.
dan friesen
So much of Carrie's content is this dumb shit QAnon nonsense and talking about Wano7 and is he JFK and like, I don't care about this.
I don't want to hear about vaccines.
I want to hear about Squatch.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
I want to hear about aliens.
jordan holmes
Listen, Bobcat, Goldthwait.
Can do as many hours on Sasquatch as he wants.
I'm going to watch every single one of them.
And I'm already at like eight or nine, I think.
I will keep going.
dan friesen
Sure.
I've had many a late night drunk conversation with comedian Jason Earle folks.
Back in the day.
jordan holmes
That's a Kohl's evening.
dan friesen
A lot of Squatch talk.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
Believing in Sasquatch is Kohl's.
dan friesen
So Black Kraken is the name of his group.
And here's what they were setting out to do.
solomon berg
My last posting was with the United States Marine Corps as part of a group called Project Black Kraken, which, as I mentioned to you on our previous phone call, Was a kind of military think tank.
Really, our goal was to push the boundaries of science.
We did a lot of what, I guess, in the conventional world you could call paranormal research.
dan friesen
He does not elaborate on this.
jordan holmes
Release the Black Kraken's ideas!
dan friesen
He does not explain how he pushed the boundaries of science.
Well, I guess kind of.
jordan holmes
I mean, ESP, you would assume.
dan friesen
Sure, there's a little bit of telepathy.
There's some of this stuff.
jordan holmes
We're in Men Who Stare at Goat's territory.
dan friesen
Well, actually, as we'll learn later, it's kangaroos that he stared at.
But I don't want to spoil anything.
Oh, of course not.
So his backstory about how he got into this Black Kraken organization, this Project Kraken.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
It goes back to when he was in high school.
solomon berg
Hell yeah.
I initially was recruited into this program in my senior year of high school.
I was planning on enlisting anyway.
I was going to do ROTC.
I was contacted by an individual that I have known throughout the years only as OWL.
jordan holmes
Sorry, what?
solomon berg
And Owl.
Owl?
unidentified
Who?
solomon berg
He informed me that due to my test scores, I had been sort of investigated by a higher cabal.
Leaders within the military who were looking to recruit talent.
dan friesen
What kind of test scores are we talking?
Like SATs?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I think he was really amazing at Galaga.
dan friesen
And obviously...
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
That's clearly what happened.
dan friesen
I can't tell because if it's just like you had really good SAT or ACT scores, almost every high school has someone who aces one of those tests.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
So everybody would know somebody who's getting recruited by...
jordan holmes
Totally.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Maybe it's some other weird test.
jordan holmes
Maybe it's a psychopath test or something where they test your acumen for becoming a super science soldier.
That means that you have to be willing to eat your parents' toes.
It has to be crazy.
dan friesen
Here's a test that most people wouldn't pass.
solomon berg
What's that?
dan friesen
Hi, I'm Owl.
unidentified
That is...
jordan holmes
That was an immediate failing grade.
You're right.
Imagine signing your test owl.
Get out of here!
dan friesen
So he gets involved with this group.
He goes into the military and he does not get into combat.
But he was overseas.
In Iraq.
And here's what he was doing.
solomon berg
I was never in active combat deployment.
Technically, although I was present as a cultural liaison during what became known as the Stargate Incidents in Baghdad in 2007 and Kabul in 2008.
And sometime after that, I returned to the States.
And I was doing civilian work, really, at that time, research.
I was informed about a Mars program, and I spent a year in the Mars program.
jordan holmes
Where?
solomon berg
And then came back to Earth.
dan friesen
He was on Mars.
jordan holmes
Oh, he was on Mars!
dan friesen
Yeah, he had a gap year on Mars.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
I'm 100% going to have to say right now.
Unless he is saying that we 100% can use Stargates to transport from Earth to Mars instantaneously, this man is, relativistically speaking, much older or younger than either of us, and I can't remember which way it goes.
dan friesen
Well, he does explain that the engine and the combustion system of the spacecraft that they were in is basically, what they do is they explode nukes behind it.
To propulse it forward.
jordan holmes
Of course, yes.
dan friesen
And I think that would be pretty fast.
jordan holmes
Perfect sense, obviously.
dan friesen
Super fast.
jordan holmes
Just shoot one out like an egg every 100,000 miles or whatever.
I like it, yeah.
dan friesen
So he was doing the civilian work in between when he was in the military and when he went to Mars.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And this was at Temple University.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Apparently he went back to Temple University and he was doing some more research there.
unidentified
Oh, good.
solomon berg
I do have a civilian identity.
I did have a civilian identity.
I was working at Temple University.
jordan holmes
Solomon Barr.
solomon berg
And I did some very interesting research in the area of human-animal communication.
And it was that research that got the attention of my colonel, Lionel Sperlinghetti.
He reached back out to me and asked if I could rejoin Project Blackraken because they had captured an entity.
dan friesen
Oh my.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So Lionel Sperlinghetti.
jordan holmes
Okay, this is definitely somebody fucking with Gary.
This has to be.
dan friesen
It's a great name.
solomon berg
Lionel Sperlinghetti?
dan friesen
Great name.
So he's working with Owl and Lionel Sperlinghetti.
jordan holmes
I like it.
Oh, man.
dan friesen
So, yeah, they had to get him back in.
jordan holmes
My favorite Chicago rapper was Sperlinghetti.
He was really, really great.
Favorite actor, Dennehy, obviously.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's doing this animal-human communication research.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And so they capture an entity.
And so they got to get him back.
Sperlinghetti comes out.
jordan holmes
Sperlinghetti, we got an entity.
dan friesen
He's like, bird.
jordan holmes
And you can apparently speak to giraffes, maybe.
So the entity is all on you, man.
dan friesen
Maybe giraffes.
We'll get into this later.
But obviously, this entity was the Squatch.
solomon berg
They had captured an entity in the Pacific Northwest outside of Seattle.
This is the being that I have referred to as Squatch.
jordan holmes
Sas is his first name.
solomon berg
Do you want me to clarify the term Squatch?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
solomon berg
So Squatch is a human approximation of a noise that these creatures make when they're very young.
jordan holmes
Squatch!
solomon berg
And they don't have human individual names like we do.
They have sort of a title system.
So you earn your title in their society.
Before they earn their title, the young ones are just called Squatch.
dan friesen
This doesn't make any sense.
This is like really maybe my only bone of contention with this guy.
Because Squatch is short for Sasquatch, and that comes from the Salish language, the word Sasquats, which means wild or hairy man in their language.
jordan holmes
It would make sense that the Sasquatch did not actually teach us the word for Sasquatch.
dan friesen
It's a good swing, though.
jordan holmes
I like it.
unidentified
It's pretty good.
jordan holmes
Imagine if it was actually SAS Squatch.
Like, SAS was his title.
He's a special administrative servant to the Squatch community.
So he's SAS Squatch, and then there's obviously other...
dan friesen
Well, he is an ambassador.
He's a special ambassador.
jordan holmes
And our guy, Major Berg, he's a cultural advisor.
I think this is all coming together.
solomon berg
I buy it.
dan friesen
So we got Squatch that's been captured that he is in communication with.
But there's other squatches out there.
And some, based on what he's saying, aren't even a squatch.
But I think...
solomon berg
One of the elders of this species that I have never had any direct contact with, but which I know of through the Overmind connection that we talked about, which I can explain further, is the Wizard of Washington.
So this is a very, very old male.
Squatch.
His hair is completely gray.
He's been a recluse for hundreds of years.
These are very long-lived creatures.
They have an adolescence lasting about 200 years.
jordan holmes
Whoa.
solomon berg
Their adulthood could be as much as a millennia.
dan friesen
This Wizard of Washington is super lucky that it went gray instead of having Squatch pattern baldness.
Yeah, The Wizard of Washington, buddy.
I love it.
jordan holmes
It's the best.
I don't know.
I think this might be overload.
I think I might explode in my brain from having too much fun, Dan.
unidentified
It's a delightful story he tells.
jordan holmes
The distance from where we normally live to where I live now.
dan friesen
You're going to cry.
jordan holmes
I am going to cry.
dan friesen
Keep your tears.
jordan holmes
Okay, I'll do my best.
dan friesen
Because we have sort of got to draw a line here somewhere.
And that is, you were saying he's trying to talk to giraffes.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
But I don't know if he can talk to giraffes.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because I don't know how to classify a giraffe.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
Technically.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Because he actually has a distinction of the only...
jordan holmes
Oh, he goes kingdom phylum.
unidentified
Basically.
jordan holmes
He does the whole thing.
Okay, all right.
kerry cassidy
So at a certain point, the military brought you in because you have some unique abilities.
Can you explain what those abilities are?
solomon berg
Yes.
So I am kind of sensitive.
I have developed a particular mode of telepathic communication, which is effective between human beings.
And other placental mammals that have a brain structure called a corpus callosum.
dan friesen
So if a giraffe does, then in theory he can telepathically talk to a giraffe.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
What is...
See, this is why we need to interview...
dan friesen
There's follow-up questions that definitely need to be asked.
jordan holmes
She's not prepared to handle the easiest question in the world.
What's the funniest thing an animal has ever said to you?
Immediately.
That immediate thought.
dan friesen
Man, we're gonna get to some jokes later.
But not from animals.
We're going to get a sense of Squatch's sense of humor, though.
That's for sure.
unidentified
The Squatch is practicing his Type 5?
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
The other way around.
What makes the Squatch laugh?
jordan holmes
That's great.
dan friesen
I like it.
It's basically those jerky commercials.
unidentified
Oh, well, yeah.
dan friesen
It's not.
Yeah, that's a question Kerry should ask.
jordan holmes
What does he think of those jerky commercials?
dan friesen
Is that racist?
jordan holmes
I feel like that's racist.
dan friesen
It's got to be.
Beef jerky is...
So you were confused, or at least you made a little noise, when the overmind was mentioned.
And I don't know if we have a full clip where he totally explains it, but it's not like a hive mind.
But there is like a collective connection that those Squatches have in their minds.
And he was able to tap into this overmind.
solomon berg
The overmind I referred to before was...
Something I discovered early in my communications with Squatch, the overmind is a kind of collective consciousness.
And it is, it's not a hive mind.
They retain their individuality, but there is a sort of communal web of belonging.
I would describe it as.
It's very comforting and different from what most humans experience in our very hyper individualized atomistic world.
dan friesen
So he individually experienced this, though.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Personally experienced the Squatch overmind.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he got into the Squatch mind.
dan friesen
I don't know what that would be like.
That would be wild.
jordan holmes
I think it would be like...
dan friesen
Communing with Squatches.
jordan holmes
I think it would be like being an orca.
You know, orca's brains, they have the parts that are more empathetic as opposed to ours where the more language centers.
You know, theirs are much, much bigger comparatively.
unidentified
I think there's a good chance that the overmind already exists.
dan friesen
Oh, shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's getting wild out there.
dan friesen
Well, you should do some research into that.
jordan holmes
I think I will.
dan friesen
Like Berg has.
Now, one of the things that's kind of challenging about this is I don't think Solomon Berg is this guy's real name.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that does sound right.
dan friesen
Because he did say that he used to have a civilian life.
So I would assume that this is a taken name.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
A code name of some sort.
Which makes it difficult to pin down some of the things that he's saying.
Like, in this next clip, he talks about how he tried to publish papers about his studies.
I would love to get my hands on those.
But I don't know what to look for, because the name probably isn't real.
jordan holmes
Where would you begin?
solomon berg
I tried to publish papers about the telepathic communication I was able to achieve, and...
I believe I used the word laughingstock with you in our phone call.
So they had another name for me.
Dr. Doolittle.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah.
solomon berg
So it was, you know, we're talking about I'm trying to get good research published, but because of the subject matter.
None of my peers who are responsible for the peer review are willing to take it seriously, so I couldn't get it published.
dan friesen
If there was research that showed some ability to talk to animals, there would not be, like, people not taking it seriously.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
dan friesen
That would be groundbreaking.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, people would go, ape shit.
Are you kidding me?
dan friesen
Yeah, if something was sound, it would make it through peer review.
jordan holmes
At the very least...
Able to be tested?
I think people would be like, listen, this is crazy.
I admit it's crazy, but this is a testable hypothesis, so fucking let's do it!
solomon berg
Fuck it!
jordan holmes
I'm down!
dan friesen
Also, you shouldn't be too offended if people call you Dr. Dolittle.
jordan holmes
No, that's fine.
dan friesen
It's the pop culture reference of someone who talks to animals.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and even then, it's usually as the protagonist, you know?
Dr. Dolittle's the good guy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
You just don't want him to call you Norbit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a bad...
dan friesen
Or Hercules.
jordan holmes
Or what was the one where he went to space?
dan friesen
Those are two different movies.
Dave.
Meet Dave.
jordan holmes
Meet Dave.
dan friesen
Pluto Nash.
jordan holmes
Pluto Nash is the one I was thinking of.
Yeah, that's the one you don't want to be called.
dan friesen
A lot of bad names in that oeuvre.
So, we get to talking a little bit about going to Mars.
And I would say that...
There's not a lot of details about his trip to Mars.
I want to know more about it.
It was a year of his life.
jordan holmes
It's very important.
kerry cassidy
Now, you went to Mars before you got involved in the whole sort of off-planet races aspect, at least as far as the Squatch go.
solomon berg
Yes.
kerry cassidy
So, I know my audience would be particularly interested in that, so if we can just start off with that and kind of get that out of the way so that we can delve a bit more into your current...
solomon berg
So, yeah.
unidentified
Go ahead.
kerry cassidy
Yeah, if you can describe how you got to go to Mars and what you did there and so on and so forth.
solomon berg
This goes back to 2010.
This was after my service as a liaison in the Middle East.
So I returned to the States and I was contacted again by Owl.
And Owl said he had...
A position that was off-world that might interest me.
Now, I had already...
So, when I was 18 and I was inducted into Black Kraken, they had shown me the Roswell footage.
So, I was aware of who the Greys were.
Well, to an extent.
I knew about Greys.
I would say I knew everything about them.
But I had a basic outline, I suppose, in my head about the extent of the U.S. government and military's involvement with extraterrestrial factions.
And it was during my service in the Middle East that I learned that The Greys were essentially mercenaries.
dan friesen
This is not about your trip to Mars!
You got sidetracked talking about learning about the Greys.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you.
You know, like, I've told you about my bright spot one time.
I was watching For All Mankind.
I want to go to space so bad.
I just dream of it.
Like, the idea of knowing that the Earth is absolutely tiny in relativity, and yet actually being able to see it in real...
Oh, my God, that'd be amazing.
How could you be like, eh, I think the Greys are mercenaries.
If you went to Mars...
dan friesen
Yeah, and, like, the experience of being on the ship, it's like, wouldn't you be like, well, I was asleep the whole time, or, like, how long did it take, what did you eat?
jordan holmes
Totally, cryo, something, you know, the whole deal, yeah.
dan friesen
Really light on the details, but that's kind of fine, I guess.
I would like to know more.
But, I mean, I wouldn't believe it if there were details or not, so it's not real.
It's a push.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
In movies, it's always either the travel is just completely cut out and you cut from one location to the other, or, like, the travel's the whole movie.
So I feel like we're in the cut to...
dan friesen
Yeah, for the most part.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
solomon berg
I was later briefed and told about two factions, two interstellar factions, the Guardian Alliance.
And the Luciferian Alliance.
And I believe that the Luciferian Alliance centers around the Draco Empire.
And the Guardian Alliance centers around the Pleiadian Empire.
So I wanted to, you know, when Owl contacted me, He was kind of reminding me that we had a grander duty in the universe as a planet that is affected by this ongoing struggle between lightness and darkness.
So I took the position.
I traveled on board one of Black Kraken's ships to Mars.
This was in 2010.
jordan holmes
Big one?
solomon berg
Small one?
jordan holmes
30 people?
solomon berg
Five?
jordan holmes
What are we talking about?
solomon berg
I spent almost a year on the Martian surface.
How?
I was based at an underground compound.
jordan holmes
Underground?
solomon berg
In the region called Cydonia.
dan friesen
So apparently it's some parts of Mars you don't need a suit for and some you do.
jordan holmes
Sure.
No, that makes sense.
dan friesen
So yeah, I feel like we've gotten more of the why.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like he answered some of the why he went, because you have a responsibility.
Sure.
I still just don't feel like I know much about this trip.
jordan holmes
You know, they had to change their name to the Guardian Alliance because the former name used to be offensive to indigenous peoples.
dan friesen
Sure.
So these are the people that we know about already.
These alliances.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
The Draco are the evil ones.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And the Pleiadians are the Guardian Alliance.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
So we already kind of know the players involved.
jordan holmes
We gotta...
I mean, I feel like if we were to get into specifics between the two of them and their ideas of what the specifics are between, you know, I think we might have some disagreement over what's going on.
But the players are vaguely the same.
dan friesen
Now, he went to Mars to be an archaeologist.
He was studying some archaeological sites and, like, sites of battles that had happened way in the past and what have you.
Fantastic.
unidentified
Now, mic down for this next clip, because this is where I started to get, like, this might be an elaborate trolling.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay.
dan friesen
Because, well, you'll probably see.
solomon berg
My research assistant was with me at that time.
His name is Daniel Jordan.
He's a Master Sergeant Daniel Jordan.
And Master Sergeant Daniel Jordan and I combed the area for debris, which had been left by ancient Martian soldiers.
Now, Carrie, when I say Martian soldier, I'm not indicating Martian as a species.
We are talking about Martian nationals.
This was...
In an ancient epoch where Mars was a very cosmopolitan, multicultural world, and so many of the Martian soldiers I'm referring to were in fact human beings.
They were transplants from ancient Earth, which was at that time ruled by kingdoms like Atlantis.
dan friesen
So look, it's entirely possible that it's a coincidence that his subordinate research assistant is named Daniel Jordan.
unidentified
God damn it.
Come on.
dan friesen
But it's weird.
jordan holmes
I feel like now we have to comb through our own catalog to see if there are references that he made throughout the rest of it that we're too dumb to miss.
Like, I'm sure.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I think it's probably a coincidence, but I was like, this is weird.
jordan holmes
That is just unfair.
You know, we've made the joke before.
But you actually are a witch, and I'm going to burn you at the end of this recording.
dan friesen
That's fine.
I don't want to have to take out the couch.
jordan holmes
No, I totally understand.
dan friesen
So he, Berg, Solomon Berg, found something that he was able to actually smuggle back to Earth.
It was very exciting.
solomon berg
There was one artifact I was able to smuggle home.
It was a stone pipe that appears to have been carved by a teenage human conscript.
in the army of Mars.
Sure.
unidentified
Used to smoke a Martian psychoactive herb and then discarded This is Pompeii!
solomon berg
I suppose what you would imagine is, like, ancient power generators or sentient computers, and, you know, none of that lasted.
You know, it was just the bare basics.
dan friesen
Yeah, so he found a Martian hash pipe.
jordan holmes
And listen, I know it's too late, but this is why, to any future Martian conscripts, you gotta smoke toad.
Everybody knows this.
There's no evidence.
dan friesen
But if you smoke toad, then you'll want to go home.
I don't want to be on Mars.
I'm not supposed to be here.
jordan holmes
This isn't where my toad...
How did this toad get here?
dan friesen
So you said, what is this Pompeii?
Because you're like, he's painting an elaborate scene.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
And it would have to be that everybody is frozen in place.
jordan holmes
100%.
dan friesen
Carrie has a similar concern about the story he's telling.
jordan holmes
Ah, okay.
kerry cassidy
Now, when you make a description like that, where you say, he was a conscript, he threw it out the tent, how can you know this?
Were you working with remote viewers?
Are you yourself seeing it as a remote viewer?
How did you tap into that?
solomon berg
We did work with remote viewers on Mars.
That was part of our contingent.
So they were able to get visual impressions.
We analyzed the substance, the residue that was found in the pipe.
Daniel Jordan actually smoked some of it.
He wrote a report based on that.
jordan holmes
Okay, this is me!
unidentified
Why would anybody do that?
jordan holmes
What are you talking about?
dan friesen
We found this resin on an ancient Martian pipe, and Daniel Jordan's going to do a trip report on it.
Look, the high was a little bit speedy.
jordan holmes
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, but this is one small smoke for man.
dan friesen
Yeah, no risks there.
unidentified
Good God.
dan friesen
Certainly won't kill you.
jordan holmes
Oh boy, that is...
I mean, it really would have been a lot cooler if it was just like, you know, Olympus Mons erupted and then there was a Pompeii-like situation.
That would have been great, and instead we got remote viewers?
Like, Carrie's even...
Her first reaction is like, what, did you have remote viewers?
Not like, was there archaeological evidence?
dan friesen
No, there's remote viewers and resin hits.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
This dude took a hit, and now he really knows what happened.
dan friesen
So there's a bombshell coming.
jordan holmes
There's a bombshell coming.
dan friesen
No, we're done talking about the hatchback.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But there is a giant bombshell about where Solomon Berg is right now.
solomon berg
Okay.
kerry cassidy
Now, is he aware that you're going public?
solomon berg
Daniel Jordan, yes.
He's my subordinate.
kerry cassidy
I understand.
So you're still working with him, is what you're saying?
solomon berg
He's still part of Project Black Kraken.
What happened was, fast forward 2018, when the issue with the Sasquatch, well, the Squatch came up.
I'm still trying to break the habit of saying Sasquatch.
jordan holmes
Me too, buddy.
Me too.
solomon berg
That's when Project Black Kraken went rogue.
So I'm here in Israel with my team.
jordan holmes
Okay.
kerry cassidy
Okay.
Now we've kind of made a big jump.
dan friesen
Yeah, we have.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we've made a big jump!
dan friesen
Pretty huge jump.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So, Berg and Project Black Kraken, they went off the grid.
They went rogue.
unidentified
They stole Sasquatch and hid out in Israel.
dan friesen
They're in a bunker in Israel.
jordan holmes
The safest place to be with a Squatch!
dan friesen
Yeah, they made a deal with the Israeli government.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And so now they're hiding out in a bunker.
jordan holmes
Naturally.
dan friesen
About 80 clicks outside Tel Aviv.
jordan holmes
Well, the Israeli government has to keep Squatch under wraps, otherwise people might stop believing in the origin myths of Adam.
I'm telling you, once you see a Squatch, you know that God isn't real.
dan friesen
Sasquatch opens minds, much like Toad.
But, yes, this is quite a jump.
Carrie wants to reel him back a little bit before we get into talking about how you scratch-napped somebody.
jordan holmes
Somehow Carrie's like, wait a second.
dan friesen
So we've got to go back to this war on Mars stuff a little bit.
And there's a reason that wars happen.
There's actually multiple reasons, but here's one of them.
solomon berg
You know, we can't isolate one particular causal factor, but from...
Deciphering glyphs and ancient texts, we have been able to glean some details.
We know that there was a prominent human faction on Mars that was under the leadership of an individual named Chrysalix.
Now, Chrysalix was a half-human, half-Kaninaki hybrid.
Chrysalix ascended to the top leadership position of Ancient Mars, and he stoked resentment between two other non-human species, both of which claimed to be indigenous to Mars, but probably neither of them are.
dan friesen
One of them was a trog.
jordan holmes
I mean, sure.
Sure.
What do the glyphs look like?
dan friesen
I don't know.
We don't get any explanation of that, but chrysalix.
jordan holmes
I mean, just draw me one of the glyphs.
It should be really easy for you to draw me one of those glyphs.
You said you studied them, you speak the language, you've got remote viewers, you've got ancient texts.
Draw me a glyph!
dan friesen
You should be able to get some of these glyphs.
jordan holmes
Just give me a glyph!
dan friesen
But I do think that it's interesting that the way that this guy is presenting this ancient fight, or ancient wars, is that there was a person who pitted two groups against each other.
And there's a sense of him recognizing that that is a bad thing to do.
And I think that that's important.
jordan holmes
I mean, when we see these types of, like...
Transpositions, if you might, you know, like these ideas of how people are reacting to the situations currently transposed onto aliens doing it, and that's how they process that information, right?
This has a different type of self-awareness to it than what we have seen before.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's what I feel from what we're listening to here.
dan friesen
But also, I think that if you're doing that kind of almost meta reading of the stuff that's being discussed...
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Oftentimes, the actual conversation that's happening on that other level, that metaphorical level, is really fucked up.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
It's scary.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But what he's actually talking about, and some of the other stuff that'll come up later, if it is metaphorical...
There is a very positive message behind it, for the most part.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, he's basically describing some sort of, I don't know, populist leader that comes to power, who then uses an imaginary conflict to stoke resentment.
dan friesen
Between these two groups.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, boy, it just seems like I've never heard that before.
Crazy.
dan friesen
So, you might be asking yourself, how'd this guy start out talking to animals?
How did that work?
Yeah!
It is.
jordan holmes
Was that on one of the tests in high school?
dan friesen
No, it was not, actually.
I'll be honest, I've done exactly what he did, and I have not been successful.
solomon berg
In the course of developing the human-animal communication techniques, I first started experimenting, having telepathic conversations with my cat, Gnome.
And progress from there to laboratory tests where I communicated with chimpanzees, pigs, dolphins.
We discovered there was a hard limit that we could only achieve communication using this technique with placental mammals.
jordan holmes
No mollusks.
solomon berg
I have stared for hours at kangaroos.
unidentified
Nothing.
alex jones
Silence.
solomon berg
They're very quiet minds.
dan friesen
One of the other things that's admirable about his world that he's painting is that there are rules.
There are parameters to what he's talking about that you stay within.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
And it's like, yeah, look, I have figured this out, and it has to do with the corpus callosum.
There's telepathic tendrils in there, and if you stimulate them, he's able to talk to the placental mammals.
jordan holmes
Totally.
dan friesen
And so it makes sense.
Yeah, you can't talk to something that's not placental.
It doesn't have the corpus callosum.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
Duh.
unidentified
Duh.
jordan holmes
No, it is that any great science fiction always has the same basic fundament of as long as you establish these rules in the beginning and do not break them, then you can do any imaginary bullshit you want to.
dan friesen
Yeah, and he has fairly decent rules established.
jordan holmes
And if you tell me that you've tried staring at kangaroos for hours and failed on this show, you won.
You won the show.
dan friesen
That's it.
The only thing I really take issue with so far is I want more details about Mars.
jordan holmes
I need more Mars details.
dan friesen
And the Sasquatch etymology is very much dubious.
jordan holmes
In question.
How long have you...
How do you know that a 200...
How do you know the Squatch is telling you the truth?
dan friesen
Squatch could lie.
jordan holmes
Squatch can lie!
dan friesen
So in 2017, that was when the military found themselves a Squatch.
solomon berg
Sure.
But at some point in probably 2017...
The U.S. military captured one of these entities.
He is a young male Squatch.
What you would call a bachelor Squatch.
He is approximately 300 years old.
And that is, in Squatch terms, about...
Like a 22-year-old human.
So, yeah.
dan friesen
I love the throwing around of terminology.
It's a bachelor squatch.
jordan holmes
It's a bachelor squatch!
Yeah!
dan friesen
That's a common expression.
jordan holmes
It is always fun whenever you hear an actual scientist discuss a grouping of animals that they've been studying for years, and they'll be like, ah, the bachelors of the seal community are now challenging the...
You know, like that kind of thing.
And then you're just like, nope, you can't say that about squatch, though.
dan friesen
Yeah, you can.
jordan holmes
Can't do it?
Nope.
No, you can't say that about Squatch.
dan friesen
Bachelor Squatch rolls off the tongue.
jordan holmes
You can't just do Bachelor Squatch on me.
dan friesen
I think that might be a good button for the future.
Bachelor Squatch.
jordan holmes
I do like that one.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Sasquatch with like a flower on his lapel.
unidentified
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Getting ready to go to prom or something.
jordan holmes
Yeah, fuck this bored ape nonsense.
I want Bachelor Squatch.
dan friesen
Right.
So, there was a problem.
Because the military had taken Squatch, and they were wanting to use him for evil somehow.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, they're the military.
dan friesen
Well, they wanted to use him for propaganda, basically, is the thing.
And so Black Kraken had to step in and save that Squatch.
jordan holmes
Save all Squatches.
solomon berg
It came to light that both of the factions I mentioned earlier, the Interstellar factions, had an interest in Using the existence of the Squatch and its species history with both the Draco and Pleiadian Empires propagandistically.
And because of our government's infiltration by Dracos, it was a decision we made as Project Black Kraken to remove the Squatch Draco influences here in the United States.
dan friesen
Gotta remove that squatch.
jordan holmes
This makes me think, alright, that we're not the only ones who have spent an inordinate amount of time In the Pacific Northwest looking for Sasquatch.
I think aliens have also been out there looking for the elusive Squatch.
dan friesen
Well, yes.
I mean, well, so, yeah, because they want to use them for propaganda.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
So if I understand this correctly, as things will be sort of teased out in this conversation, the Squatch is a refugee from both Draco and Pleiadian territories.
jordan holmes
Sweet.
dan friesen
Right?
And so they're here, and...
Conceivably on other planets, too.
We don't know that for sure.
But they're here, and so both of those groups want to use the existence of these refugees against the other.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so the Draco are in charge of the U.S. government, and so Black Kraken felt that they needed to remove the Squatch so they couldn't use them against the Pleiadians.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
So they went to Israel, which apparently is under the Anunnaki.
The Anunnaki apparently are in Israel.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's questioned territory, so it's relatively safe in a certain way because everybody's trying to have their own...
dan friesen
Well, but the Israeli government, Kerry is pretty certain, is deeply involved with the Anunnaki.
jordan holmes
That is true.
dan friesen
But that is not specifically full Draco.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It's like half reptilian, half human, more or less.
jordan holmes
See, again, it's somewhere in a nebulous space.
It's a good place to hide.
dan friesen
And that's why they went there into an underground bunker 80 clicks outside Tel Aviv.
Sure, sure, sure.
jordan holmes
I think that just means that we need to have more respect for Squatches if not only are they evading humans, but indeed the entire universe.
dan friesen
Sure.
Well, at this point, they're only doing it because of the help of Black Kraken.
jordan holmes
Ah, that's fair.
That is fair.
dan friesen
Otherwise, they would be found by the U.S. government.
And then the Draco.
jordan holmes
Sure, and then anything can happen.
dan friesen
Then there's an entire blitz of intergalactic propaganda against the Pleiadians because they displaced the Squatches.
jordan holmes
I'm trying to figure out if finding out that a Squatch is real is worth the trade-off of discovering it's being used for propaganda.
dan friesen
I don't know.
It would be disorienting no matter what.
jordan holmes
What's the moral on that one?
dan friesen
So when I was saying that this kind of meta conversation that you can imagine is happening when you're talking about these aliens and what have you, the metaphorical implications on the real world, when I'm saying that this guy, if you look at what he's saying metaphorically, it's positive stuff.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I mean it's stuff like this, because you never fucking hear this from any of the other alien weirdos.
solomon berg
On the intergalactic scale, there are two major, I would call them alliances or coalitions, and one is centered around light work, and the other is centered around domination.
But within the framework of the light workers, there has still been a history of conflict.
So when we talk about Pleiadians, when I've engaged with less, I would say, with more credulous people, I have heard Pleiadians described in almost exclusively heroic or even religious terms.
And that's, I think, You absolutely do not hear that from anybody else on this fucking show.
dan friesen
For Carrie, every alien group is uniform.
jordan holmes
That must have exploded her brain.
Did she die?
Did she literally scanners her brain all over the space?
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
She didn't freak out.
jordan holmes
The introduction of nuance did not hurt anybody physically.
dan friesen
She didn't swear at him.
I think it's possible that...
Well, here's a couple thoughts I have.
First of all, this guy's killing it.
jordan holmes
Absolutely dominating.
dan friesen
In terms of an interview on Project Camelot.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
dan friesen
Out of the park.
jordan holmes
No, amazing.
dan friesen
Second...
He seems like he can really spin this pretty well.
Like all of this yarn.
And so Carrie has got to be looking at this like he has a lot of information and awareness of a lot of the touchstones of things that are like in my world.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
This guy, I could use him.
I could use this guy.
Mark Richards is in that prison, and I can't go talk to him.
I can get him on Zoom from that Israeli bunker.
We can talk.
And he communicates with Sasquatch.
Squatch can tell him things.
He can get into the Squatch overmind.
Imagine the information that could be coming.
jordan holmes
I'm telling you, this is almost exactly what, if I were fucking with Carrie, and I had listened to all of our Project Camelot episodes, Over the span of a couple of weeks.
Man, this does seem like a formula that makes a lot of sense.
dan friesen
There is a real...
If this were an audition, basically, he's killing it.
unidentified
Totally.
dan friesen
I would not be surprised to see him back fairly soon.
jordan holmes
No, and he's coming in with a lot of...
I mean, he seems prepared to know what it is she's interested in.
dan friesen
Or at least knows a lot about that world.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
A lot of words, a lot of concepts, but also it's so admirable that it does also feel like there's a weaving of empathy and a weaving of decency through this as opposed to looking at things in such a black and white way with aliens.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, the silence, I mean, it's an implied rebuke of Carrie to her face.
You know, like, many people call Pleiadians heroes.
I think it says more about us, you, that you claim that they're all evil.
I think it's very clear that that's a straight up...
dan friesen
Well, it could be read that way.
It may not be.
It depends kind of, I guess, how much awareness he has of all of Carrie's stuff.
And I would say that based on the sort of philosophical underpinnings that he has behind his discussion of aliens, it doesn't really work very well with Carrie's stuff.
I don't think that her audience necessarily notices...
Or would notice that too much, though.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It's just fun alien.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
No, it's so malleable that...
dan friesen
There's so many of our experts who are mutually contradictory.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
It doesn't matter already.
jordan holmes
Yeah, like, oh, no, this guy's lying.
Sure, sure, fine.
dan friesen
So, like I said, the Squatches, they're galactic refugees.
solomon berg
The Pleiadians, their empire does have a history of expansion.
And Squatch's species were refugees, but they were also refugees in the Draco Dominion.
So neither empire has been particularly good for Squatch.
There are no heroes to the Squatch.
You know, heroes are an oppressive Western construct.
unidentified
Western?
dan friesen
Why is it Western?
jordan holmes
I think this guy is arguing that Squatches are the original Space Jews.
I think that's what's happening.
dan friesen
I'm going to skip to the next clip.
jordan holmes
Okay.
kerry cassidy
So Squatch views Pleiadians and Draco with suspicion.
unidentified
Yes.
kerry cassidy
But they were willing to consider you because you were kind of neither on one side or the other, so to speak.
solomon berg
Right.
I think Squatch is comfortable with Jews.
I think squash sense is a kind of kindred history.
jordan holmes
Yeah, man.
kerry cassidy
You know, we are oppressed in the universe.
And so they were actually a rogue species and became a rogue species.
solomon berg
A diaspora people without a home for many, many years.
Squatch was very comfortable with me.
dan friesen
That makes sense as a story!
jordan holmes
That is exactly right.
You have 100% created the correct narrative to build around the Squatch.
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Squatch has opened up to me because of our shared sort of diaspora history and heritage.
We can connect on that level, being refugees.
Great!
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, it's hard not to take a look at his story and say, well, the United States is incredibly anti-Semitic, along with Germany being incredibly anti-Semitic, and then, well, things played out the way they did.
dan friesen
He, um...
I also think that another good button would be there's no heroes for the Squatch.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that one's great.
That was great.
There's no heroes for the Squatch.
That is such a great line.
And heroes is a Western concept?
dan friesen
That's a little bit suspicious to me.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Because if we're talking about space, then Eastern and Western, that's not really...
jordan holmes
Doesn't really matter.
dan friesen
No.
The Western concept makes me think...
That it is intended to be...
Like, that seems like a little hat tip to, like, this is metaphorical.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Or whatever.
jordan holmes
This is the Jews.
dan friesen
Or just refugees in general.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, absolutely.
I mean, you could apply it to the Ukrainian refugees as we speak.
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
I don't know if I want to go that far and say I'm convinced that it is, but...
There's a sense that it doesn't make sense if you're talking about this in space.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
I mean, you know, we can always fight over authorial intent, but in terms of practical applications, this does seem very one-to-one.
dan friesen
Unless, I guess, there's a possibility that these space people, they just talk about Earth as the West.
Eh, that's possible.
Maybe we're the West of the galaxy.
jordan holmes
Eh, maybe.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Anyway, I get strong metaphorical vibes.
jordan holmes
I'm getting some metaphorical vibes here.
dan friesen
So Berg managed to win over Squatch because of their shared sort of similarities and heritage, and then also humor.
solomon berg
I had to do a lot to gain Squatch's trust.
A lot of it was involving humor.
You know, that was really what worked in order for Squatch, because Squatch is a sapient being.
In order for Squatch to really let me in to his mind, I first had to get to Squatch's heart, and I got to Squatch's heart with humor.
Can I tell you what I did?
jordan holmes
Yes.
solomon berg
To make Squatch laugh?
jordan holmes
Please.
kerry cassidy
Yeah, please.
jordan holmes
Please.
solomon berg
I wore a gorilla mask.
kerry cassidy
Oh.
Okay.
jordan holmes
I was expecting more.
solomon berg
Yes.
Well, laughter as his species would produce it.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Gorilla Mask.
jordan holmes
I was hoping for a little bit more out of that.
dan friesen
But that is great, too, because it's not overselling it.
jordan holmes
You're not gilding the lily here.
You're right, you're right, but I mean, it would have been nice if he was like, listen, Squatch, let me introduce you to Jonathan Winters.
You're gonna fucking love this guy.
He does all the voices!
solomon berg
Come on!
dan friesen
You go Robin Williams, because he's pretty hairy.
jordan holmes
Well, and he's already charmed one sapient ape, so there we go.
dan friesen
So, like, the...
I find this incredibly charming, but also there's a piece of it that's a little bit weird, and that is that your first instinct is to put on a gorilla mask when you're trying to talk to a Sasquatch.
jordan holmes
That's just...
How do you not think that that's offensive?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It does seem like you're...
dan friesen
Does this mean that Sasquatch has an edgy sense of humor?
unidentified
I mean, yeah.
jordan holmes
Is that what we're doing?
Is he doing ape faces?
Is that what's happening?
Is he Al Jolson-ing the Squatch?
dan friesen
I was worried about that a little bit.
But hey, I got into Squatch's heart.
So there's not many female Squatches on Earth, apparently.
Mostly males.
And as Berg explains, this is probably just a coincidence based on the ship that landed here.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Because there are probably Squatches all over the place as refugees scattered throughout the universe.
And so there's not many women Squatches here.
Mostly men.
And I don't know what to make of this.
solomon berg
Now, they have an interesting social structure.
The females are sedentary, and there are relatively few females on Earth.
This isn't their natural setup.
This is more just because they're refugees.
This is who happens to land here.
So there are about 40 adult males to every one adult female.
The males are nomadic.
They roam.
They work odd jobs.
They train and barter.
What?
unidentified
What?
jordan holmes
I'll fix your car for a burger.
kerry cassidy
But how did they land here?
I think you say they borrowed a spaceship or something?
solomon berg
Over the years, they've acquired many ships from various alien civilizations.
So they don't have their own, like, indigenously designed fleet.
They do have a number of advanced spacecraft that they keep hidden using cloaking devices.
dan friesen
Yeah, so apparently some of the younger Squatches are passable as humans.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Because if they shave...
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
They're humanoid, and they're only, like, seven feet tall for the first few hundred years.
jordan holmes
That's no big deal.
dan friesen
Right.
That's within the realm of, like, tall person.
jordan holmes
I mean, you look up, and you're like, oh, do you play basketball?
And they're a little insulted, and then you know they're human.
dan friesen
And then they want to fix your car.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
They need a burger.
unidentified
So, yeah, they do odd jobs.
dan friesen
Apparently, like, in, you know, like, if there was a Squatch planet or whatever, this wouldn't be the way they necessarily organize society.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
In the same way, There's a discussion later about how, like, they don't build anything here, but they probably would if they had their own place.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
Whereas now they're more sedentary.
I'm sorry, they're more in the woods than what have you.
A lot of them are.
And then the ones that want to go into human society and do odd jobs and stuff, they live in studio apartments.
unidentified
Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
Yep, yep.
jordan holmes
It's fun.
And I'm just spitballing here.
Do they have a rum springer?
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
Squatch springer?
jordan holmes
Squatch springer, yeah.
Like, what kind of escape from squatches?
I would assume that some of these squatches don't want to return to the forest.
dan friesen
Sure, but here's the problem.
What's that?
If you're gonna go and explore what it's like to be in human society, you gotta shave.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
And that's gonna take a while to grow back.
jordan holmes
Considering that both of us are fully unshaven, I think that does make sense.
dan friesen
It's gonna take a while for Squatch to grow it all back.
So, obviously, there's some questions about how the fuck did you sneak a Sasquatch out of a military base?
jordan holmes
What are we talking about here?
Was there gunfire?
Did you trick somebody?
dan friesen
Well...
You can't really talk about it.
kerry cassidy
How did you escape from the U.S.?
Were you assisted by other soldiers?
solomon berg
So this is where we're edging up on things I can't directly comment on.
I can say that I committed what could be considered crimes.
jordan holmes
Where?
solomon berg
Now, the issue with...
Being charged with anything is that they would have to acknowledge my unit exists.
They would have to acknowledge that Swatch exists.
jordan holmes
Good point.
solomon berg
So because they can't afford to blow that cover up, they can't actually proceed with any kind of formal extradition.
dan friesen
Right.
This is why people who are involved in these clandestine things get assassinated.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That's why.
That's the mythology behind that.
jordan holmes
They don't just be like, shit, there's nothing we can do.
dan friesen
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
I can't formally request Israel turn over the Squatch Thief.
solomon berg
He's got us.
jordan holmes
And as we all know, there's no way for anybody in Israel to suddenly find out where you are and then murder you.
That doesn't sound like it happens.
dan friesen
No, I want...
I obviously understand that he can't get into the details.
jordan holmes
No, of course not.
dan friesen
Because it's a lot of crimes.
But how do you steal a squash?
You'd have to kill at least a couple people, right?
I mean, there's got to be pretty heavy security.
jordan holmes
Throw this out there.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
There was a whole group of people who had come to understand and love the Squatch.
dan friesen
Well, there was.
The entire Black Kraken group.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Maybe they convinced some of the other people, or they could have used telepathy of some sort to convince them to continue helping them, but it's entirely possible that everyone would have compassionately helped the Squatch escape.
dan friesen
Hear me out on this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The ships that the Squatch has are cloakable.
Maybe that technology exists.
jordan holmes
Why can't you put it on a little shirt?
dan friesen
Then Squatch just tiptoes out.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
Put him under his sheet!
Who cares?
Let's go!
Get out of here, Squatch!
dan friesen
Just walk right out.
jordan holmes
We don't want you here!
Get out of here!
dan friesen
So you've probably been able to tell by this point, but Berg has a connection with Squatch.
solomon berg
Sure.
dan friesen
And it is an emotional connection.
He cares about this Squatch.
jordan holmes
Right.
Don't tell me that it goes any further than that.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
Thank you that we're not going to get really weird.
dan friesen
No, but this is poetic as hell.
solomon berg
Looking at Squatch was almost like looking at a missing link.
But not just a missing link connecting us to our past.
It was a missing link connecting us to our past and also to the stars and to our future.
Deep.
The initial communication flourished into something...
I describe it as emotional.
I have developed an affinity for the Squatch.
I have come to recognize traces in myself on an order Like a starseed.
So, like the Pleiadians have starseed connections, they have been active in the evolution of life on multiple worlds.
So, in an intimate way, was the Squatch.
dan friesen
So, in an intimate way, was The Squatch.
jordan holmes
That really does have the ring of a fucking documentary behind it.
Richard Attenborough's The Squatch.
dan friesen
The Squatch is a missing link, not just to the past, but to the stars and to our future.
jordan holmes
That is wildly poetic.
It really is.
dan friesen
This guy's got the goods.
jordan holmes
He really is delivering.
dan friesen
I'm going to be heartbroken if we find out later that he's some kind of a real asshole.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, that's going to be brutal.
That is going to be really brutal because this performance is outstanding.
dan friesen
It really is.
So now we have...
jordan holmes
We are all the Squatch.
dan friesen
We are all.
jordan holmes
I love the Squatch.
dan friesen
I am the Squatch.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
We learn of a new alien.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
What animal do you think this alien is similar to?
jordan holmes
God, I want it to be a kangaroo, because that would really be full circle.
dan friesen
Sure.
Thematically, it would be appropriate.
jordan holmes
It would be appropriate, but it's not a kangaroo.
It's not a kangaroo.
dan friesen
It is not a placental mammal.
jordan holmes
Okay, let's go.
I really feel like we need an octopus or mollusk type alien, right?
dan friesen
You're not too far off.
solomon berg
I've learned of very intriguing, diverse life forms that would have been represented on ancient Mars.
In its cosmopolitan days, I'm aware of a cuttlefish-like species that lives on gas giants in the atmospheres of gas giants, and they are controlled by a benevolent AI.
jordan holmes
Sure.
kerry cassidy
Well, it is also said that the Draco are actually controlled by an AI.
solomon berg
But theirs is not benevolent.
kerry cassidy
And that's an understatement, but yes.
dan friesen
You can say that again.
jordan holmes
Wow, that is like a really cute exchange.
I don't know how to...
dan friesen
It's winning her over.
jordan holmes
I know, it does feel like maybe these people are so easily influenced, you just have to make up a less evil space idea, and then they'll just be like, yeah, that sounds right.
unidentified
It's possible, but that's the trick.
jordan holmes
They're just so malleable, we need to lie to them in the right way, and it'll go away.
dan friesen
It might be a model for dealing with QAnon.
Maybe you create a conspiracy fun game kind of thing.
jordan holmes
Totally.
dan friesen
But that leads to positive conclusions.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Let's chase the Squatch!
unidentified
Metaphorically.
jordan holmes
I don't know, yeah.
dan friesen
There are no heroes for the Squatch, though.
Remember that.
jordan holmes
We need to be the Squatch heroes!
dan friesen
In life, you can choose to be many things.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Be a bachelor, Squatch.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
So, Carrie has a question to ask, and this has to do with, all right, so you're coming out and bringing this information out.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Do you think that maybe you're being used to do that?
And then she completely loses track of the question and never gets back to it.
jordan holmes
I was going to say, yeah, that doesn't make any sense, but okay.
kerry cassidy
Who is it in your group, or even outside your group, that has sort of orchestrated this interview in such a way that you can talk about this?
Which, it's been going on for several years, you know, and in a certain sense, you've become, or you could become, a kind of a political football, if people even acknowledge this interview in your existence.
solomon berg
That's a good way of putting it.
jordan holmes
Oh, they will.
kerry cassidy
And so, there seems to be a reason for that, and one of the reasons that I can see, at least at this moment, because, you know, as you know, in the greater...
We have this kind of, you know, dark versus light drama being played out, especially in heightened terms within the United States.
And so, you know, it's an interesting, we call it playing the alien card, right?
It is a more local so-called alien species, if you want to call them.
They may not like the term alien, but let's call those local alien species because that's what the conventional person watching this might think of that.
They're not going to think of...
They probably, and I know...
jordan holmes
Oh, I'm tired of all this political correctness.
kerry cassidy
...sasquatch as an alien species.
solomon berg
No, no, they think he's the missing link.
kerry cassidy
Yeah, or, you know, but they also think they're, you know, very few and far between.
They don't think of them as a whole population coming from another, you know, coming from outer space, other planets that they, you know, had to leave.
dan friesen
She gets completely sidetracked from her political football question into, like, how other people can't conceive of aliens coming from another planet.
jordan holmes
Yeah, like, sure, fine, okay.
dan friesen
Everyone wants to think that Squatch is just an ape.
jordan holmes
Man.
You know, I feel like this guy's really underselling how important the overmind is and the fact that he was able to tap into it.
dan friesen
You bet.
jordan holmes
Because if he can tap into it, that would suggest that just about anybody could tap into it.
And if we could all tap into it, then we're all the Squatch overmind.
dan friesen
You're tapping into that right now.
unidentified
Oh, shit!
dan friesen
Because that's what the next clip gets into.
You're on some psychic shit today.
jordan holmes
I am squatching.
dan friesen
You might be Daniel Jordan.
Did you smoke that stone pipe?
unidentified
Okay, fine.
jordan holmes
That is what happened.
dan friesen
So, on this tip, what's going on is that Carrie is asking, all right, so you can connect to the Squatch over mine.
Right.
You connect to other people who are telepathic through, like, can you be a conduit through which you could access the Squatch mind?
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't you ask, can you teach me how to access the Squatch mind?
dan friesen
Well, it's a lot of work.
jordan holmes
That's fair.
She can already remote view, and she doesn't need that extra power.
kerry cassidy
Okay, now I want to ask you a strange question, but I'm sure you can handle it.
So, you've been in touch with this...
Overmind of the Sasquatch.
And in so doing, do you feel that you have therefore, you know, kind of like you've traveled in that mind space so you can converse in that mind space because you at least can, you know, learn things there, you said, about their history, etc., right?
And I assume perhaps you can send and receive signals to individuals within that mind space?
solomon berg
Squatch can.
I've been able to do that, but not consistently.
I'm still learning.
unidentified
All right.
kerry cassidy
And so that in a certain way, let's say I'm talking to you, and let's say you're in telepathic communication with another human.
Not necessarily me, but anyone who you're even close to somebody and yet you're telepathic with.
Because once you're telepathic, you know, it's sort of a natural inclination to try to be telepathic with anyone you have an affinity for, let's say, right?
solomon berg
Yes.
kerry cassidy
So if you did that, would they be able to then tap into this overmind through you?
unidentified
It's entirely possible.
solomon berg
It's one of those situations where they have to know what they're looking for.
It's a little bit like with Target in remote viewing.
They have to have a target.
dan friesen
So, I don't understand exactly what that means.
jordan holmes
No, me neither.
dan friesen
But I get the big picture of what is being asked.
I think that's fairly clear.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But here's what's weird.
I thought for sure that what Carrie was asking is, can you get me into the club?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Basically, I am telepathic.
I'm psychic.
Can you vouch for me to get into the Overmind?
jordan holmes
You connect to it.
I'll connect through you.
She's asking for a conference call.
solomon berg
Yes.
dan friesen
To the Overmind.
That's what I thought.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I was wrong.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
Because this question has a second stage to it.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And Carrie's actually a little bit suspicious.
jordan holmes
Oh.
kerry cassidy
All right.
Well, what if that...
What if that...
You know, that mind wanted to send a message.
They could send it, in theory, they could use you as a carrier to then send it telepathically to other humans.
Isn't that possible?
solomon berg
They could, and I might not even know that that is what's happening.
jordan holmes
Oh shit, I got squashed.
kerry cassidy
And so, even setting this up, let's say, this interview, isn't it possible that that's what happened?
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
solomon berg
It's entirely possible.
I don't know.
I have to.
I am a scientist, so I have to admit the possibility.
It's plausible.
It works as a hypothesis.
jordan holmes
So that's some great dissembling right there.
I love that.
That is great.
He was thrown for a loop, and then he's like, you know what?
Let's give it a try!
I love that.
dan friesen
Well, it's...
I don't know if it's an indication of really good improv chops or somebody who actually sincerely believes this or whatever, but that question being thrown to you and being like, hey, yeah, you know what it is?
Maybe that is what's happening.
I don't know.
That, to me, doesn't seem like somebody who's a complete liar.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like someone who's trying to pull a fast one.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
This is, at the very least, not a grift.
dan friesen
Right, because you would definitely say no.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is definitely not what's happening.
jordan holmes
No, of course not.
dan friesen
I am not being used as an unwitting conduit for Squatch to get a message out over your show.
jordan holmes
Part of all of these characters is at least a level of narcissism that has them being within that, like, dominator role.
dan friesen
Right, and he's already been asked, like, can you send messages or pings on the over my...
I'm still...
You know what?
jordan holmes
I'm trying to.
dan friesen
There's a humility.
jordan holmes
Totally.
No, this is an interesting thing.
dan friesen
It's bizarre.
jordan holmes
If you can contact the Overmind, I'm down.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
I'm down for it.
dan friesen
If somebody could get me out in the woods with Squatch, I'm down with that.
jordan holmes
I'm down for that.
dan friesen
I don't want to see Squatch.
I just want to be in the woods, actually.
unidentified
I want to sass Squatch.
alex jones
You know what?
dan friesen
I don't even need Squatch.
I'll just go to the woods.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's probably a better idea.
dan friesen
So look, Carrie is concerned.
And the reason is because this overmind could be theoretically infiltrated.
Now, where is Squatch?
jordan holmes
That is my first concern as well, Dan.
dan friesen
Where is Squatch?
Israel.
The Anunnaki are in Israel.
unidentified
Oh, no!
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
Are they going to turn the Overmind evil?
dan friesen
See, this is what we've got to be worried about.
unidentified
Now I am worried.
dan friesen
This took such a turn from me thinking it's just like, ah, Carrie wanting to get in there herself.
Now it's like...
jordan holmes
This is a national defense issue.
We need to destroy the Overmind before the enemy infiltrates it.
Great.
kerry cassidy
Okay, then let me ask you another question about this sort of thing.
I did ask you off the record this as well.
Is Squatch in touch telepathically with the Anunnaki?
And I think you said no.
solomon berg
The answer is no, but that is more by choice.
The Overmind can't...
Work against your will.
The Overmind can influence you, but it can't make you or any individual in it do something against their will.
So it's not like the Anunnaki can invade the Overmind.
They can't just force their way.
Through it.
They can't brute force it.
Squatch would have to let them in like Squatch let me in.
kerry cassidy
Okay.
dan friesen
I'm relieved.
jordan holmes
I love the Squatch.
I think so far they've got things pretty well figured out.
dan friesen
Question answered.
I am no longer worried about brute force attacks from the Anunnaki.
jordan holmes
Yeah, now that I know that the Squatch is over, Mind is, I mean, unbreakable.
dan friesen
But Carrie still has some concerns, and one of the big ones is, hey, my buddies tell me about all the help that other alien races are giving to us.
Sure.
There's so many technologies and secrets of the world that the raptors are giving Mark Richards and what have you.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
But that's not the case with the Squatch.
Why?
Why isn't the Squatch helping us?
jordan holmes
Well, the Squatch is living in peace and harmony with the fucking environment.
Why do you think they're not helping us?
Why do you think they're not helping us?
unidentified
They're working on cars to get burgers!
dan friesen
And actually, I think Berg has a great answer.
jordan holmes
Okay.
kerry cassidy
They haven't been able to...
The humans haven't been able to develop a kind of species-to-species working relationship in which they might...
solomon berg
We have.
They're very rare, but they do work out.
There are humans who are aware of what they are.
They've worked out little barter systems and trade deals, labor, fish goods.
kerry cassidy
I actually mean in a substantial way, such as Helping with our space exploration or things that they might actually know about because of their longevity.
Also, they could be like, I don't know, ET human interpreters.
There's lots of interactions that they could benefit our world with.
Also, having to do with educating, I don't know, the United Nations, unfortunately, what it's conceived of.
But you know what I mean?
solomon berg
Historically, they did try to do that.
kerry cassidy
What?
solomon berg
There have been times in their past when they have done that on other planets, when they tried to share the benefit of their experience and their wisdom with other planets, but it always seemed to backfire because of the xenophobia.
The hatred against them, you know, the fear of them, their otherness, you know, and being different from Pleiadians and different from Dracos, you know, was always held against them no matter how they contributed to the planets where they lived.
So on Earth now, they're much more cautious, so they're much rarer.
kerry cassidy
All right.
dan friesen
Once bitten, twice shy.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know what?
It's hard not to say that if your answer to that question is just space racism, you're dead on.
That sounds right.
That sounds right.
Space racism.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Fuck you!
Why would they help you?
You captured him, kept him in a fucking military base.
I'm not helping shit!
dan friesen
No.
unidentified
I'm a Squatch!
dan friesen
You had to be jailbraked and taken across the world into a bunker.
jordan holmes
Why would I...
Don't bother with the human race, you morons!
dan friesen
Yeah, and they've been burned before, which makes sense why you'd be cautious.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
And, you know, he makes it clear that, you know, as more people, the Squatch is able to trust more people, you know, there may be benefits that are accrued in terms of these things that Carrie's asking about.
But you're asking too much of the Squatch right now.
jordan holmes
It's very strange.
To be in a world where most of the time, aliens are thinly veiled ways to attack the Jews, and in this circumstance, aliens are a thinly veiled way to explain the Jews' experience with racism as they've gone through the history of the world.
dan friesen
You can take it on that level, and then you can also just take it on another level that is these aliens, the Squatch, is being used as a...
Entry point in a way to understand othering.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
In a way to understand the experience of people who are unlike you and teaching empathy and teaching solidarity.
jordan holmes
You might as well have been like, hey, Carrie, maybe if we change our attitudes towards the overmind, then we will have earned help.
As opposed to you just being like, why can't we just capture them and steal their shit?
dan friesen
Yeah, we demand help to prove that they're not evil aliens.
jordan holmes
Fuck you!
You don't even own the Earth!
dan friesen
Right.
So we have a couple clips left, and this also is just kind of...
I feel like this clip is a good summation of the sort of mentality that's being presented here.
kerry cassidy
Is there any questions or statements that you haven't made that you would like to make on his behalf at this time?
solomon berg
No, just that we are both very grateful for the opportunity to present our side of the story and hopefully bring a little light and nuance into this whole complex situation with Dracos and Pleiadians, because I think, you know, some of the reporting I've seen elsewhere on that has been very kind of one-sided, moralistic, good and evil.
From an hour ago.
I don't know about you, but I like the complex storytelling.
I like the fact that the antagonists in Star Trek were never really villains.
That's kind of the way I try to see the world.
People may be antagonistic to us, but ultimately we're all sentient beings.
We all just want life and dignity and freedom.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No!
Aliens don't want that!
No!
No!
Good V Evil!
dan friesen
You see these lizard aliens and you think, like, oh, they're all just uniformly evil.
No, we're all just sentient beings, man.
We're all just sentient beings, man.
We're just trying to get by.
jordan holmes
I really think that it should not have taken us this long to get that very simple message out on Project Camelot.
How many episodes have we done about Project Camelot and not at one point has somebody been like, you know, there are civilians in all species everywhere just trying to live a good life?
dan friesen
It's a very foreign concept to the episodes I've listened to, for sure.
jordan holmes
Bananas.
dan friesen
I also, I am so, I am much like the Squatch in terms of I've been burned before and I'm so scared of being positive about this guy.
jordan holmes
I know, I know.
This is so scary.
We can't ever have anything nice.
dan friesen
Yeah, but he seems like he's a...
A guest unlike any that I've heard on the old Camelot.
And here is maybe a possible reason why.
This last clip, I don't understand how he...
This is baffling.
solomon berg
I will also say that when I was six years old, E.T. was my absolute favorite movie.
My grandfather bought me the VHS cassette.
It was the one that had green plastic on it.
I must have worn that cassette out watching it 200 times.
kerry cassidy
All right, so you already had that, you know, sort of abilities.
Your abilities were sort of really why you became what you became in a sense.
You already had the abilities, right?
solomon berg
Well, all of us have the abilities.
unidentified
I know, but some of you have it in predominantly...
solomon berg
I would say I have a curious mind and I had a predisposition toward...
Empathizing with the other.
Trying to understand beings that were different from me.
I was always very fond of animals.
I was always very active in a lot of progressive justice causes.
I've always been a passionate advocate for people.
I joined the military because I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself and genuinely help people in need.
I've always sort of seen my role here as being of service to others.
dan friesen
You can kind of feel that.
Yep.
That kind of comes out in his conception of the alien universe.
jordan holmes
Totally.
dan friesen
There is a helpfulness, there is a caring, there is a progressive justice feeling to it.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
He comes at this from the perspective of caring about these aliens, let's say.
Whereas so many other of these people are like...
Their focus seems to be on weird political intrigue among these aliens and battles and wars.
The relationship he has with battles and space battles is that he went to Mars and found a pipe that some soldier had thrown out years and years and years ago.
jordan holmes
And honestly, that's a very exciting thing.
To me, that would be way more exciting than any kind of space battle.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's trying to learn from the aftermath of a war as opposed to being involved in it like Mark Richards is flying Minerva through...
jordan holmes
Yeah, Forrest gumping his way through the goddamn space world.
dan friesen
Right, like he's got the Millennium Falcon through the space battle.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Yeah, and I think that that is a really fundamental difference about...
How you relate to the topics that you're talking about.
jordan holmes
It is funny because there is a current movement among historians to reevaluate a lot of these narratives that we've been constantly hitting and whether or not any of this bullshit actually even makes any fucking sense that was written a few hundred years ago by white men with a lot of axes to grind.
And it seems like this is such a very similar idea of reimagining space history in a way that's not...
White male dominated.
It's just, that's what it is.
dan friesen
It doesn't paint the Pleiadians as the absolute heroes.
Like, sure, they're lightworkers and maybe they're the good guys, per se.
But they're still expansionist.
They still displaced the poor Squatch.
jordan holmes
They fucking enslaved the Squatch!
The Squatch has no heroes!
The Squatch has no heroes!
That is my rallying cry!
That is what I will shout from the rooftops!
dan friesen
That might be my next tattoo.
jordan holmes
The Squatch have no heroes!
Well, it's my birthday present.
dan friesen
Oh, God.
I mean, there's something really refreshing about this, and I wanted to cleanse the palates of things, and on the off chance that Trump does announce his candidacy on July 4th.
jordan holmes
Well, what are you going to do?
You'll have something nice to listen to.
dan friesen
Yeah, at least you get to enjoy a non-racist alien conversation about Squatch.
jordan holmes
What a fantastic journey.
unidentified
That was great.
jordan holmes
This guy better not be a piece of shit.
Please don't.
dan friesen
Please?
jordan holmes
Please just don't.
Let us have one.
And if you are, just run away, erase your name from the internet, and just let us all believe.
dan friesen
And the good news is, too, he seems open to coming back, and Carrie will obviously have him back, so we could have a new Mark Richards on our hands, who's a positive influence.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
dan friesen
But here's the other thing that I think is really strange, is how much can he possibly know about Carrie?
Because he's coming in with this, like, I've always been a passionate defender of, like, Progressive social causes.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And justice movement and stuff like that carries fucking straight up QAnon and beyond.
jordan holmes
100%.
dan friesen
So I don't understand how...
jordan holmes
And there's the name Daniel Jordan.
dan friesen
I think it still could be a coincidence.
jordan holmes
It definitely could.
dan friesen
But there is an outside possibility that it is a prank.
jordan holmes
It definitely could be a coincidence, but I'll be goddamned if that's not a fucking big coincidence.
dan friesen
It's pretty big.
It's sizable.
jordan holmes
But it's worth it.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
Even if it is a prank, then the prank is disseminating a positive message within the world of Carrie's alien nonsense.
jordan holmes
I mean, I would have no problem...
Platforming this prank.
I'm fine with that.
I had a great time with it.
dan friesen
And I hope you all did too.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And we'll be back.
jordan holmes
Join the overmind.
dan friesen
For something less delightful.
jordan holmes
No, very much less delightful.
dan friesen
On Wednesday.
But until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes
We do have a website.
It's knowledgefight.com.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
We're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes
We are on Twitter.
It's at knowledge underscore fight and at go to bed Jordan.
dan friesen
Yep.
We'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
Maybe.
Maybe I'll throw this in.
I'm Chrysalix.
jordan holmes
Ooh!
dan friesen
No, I'm not.
He was a bad guy.
unidentified
Oh, that's right.
dan friesen
I hope you all have a wonderful, dreamy, creamy summer.
steve quayle
And now, here comes the sex robots.
alex jones

unidentified

jordan holmes

unidentified
