Today we are going to get into a few pretty weird ‘coincidences’ through modern-day history, ‘coincidences’ that leave us scratching our thinned-hair scalps with our dirty and fractured fingernails. It’s a doozer.But before we dive face-first into those coincidences, we are going to have to get into the current DRONE situation. Are they aliens/UFO’s/UAP’s? No. They are drones. U.S. military drones/local authority drones. But we’ll get into all that.And so, after all ‘that’, we’ll get deep into some truly strange coincidences that will leave you perplexed and wondering, “.....just, what in the fuuuuu........”.Pretty interesting things.

Almost too strong a cup of coffee or too watered down.
You know when you get just a slightly coffee flavor and it's watered and you're like, ugh.
I can drink sludge.
The first set is a little too strong.
The second's a bit too watery.
I'm drinking some Victor Allen.
A little specialty blend.
French vanilla.
A little bit of milk in there.
Grant, did you know?
I think more recently the cheapest this stuff's been is $5.99 a can.
It's tragic.
I mean, at least you're getting a lot of it.
Oh, well, yeah.
It's like two months worth.
Yeah, it's just two months of torture.
Every sip is a little bit out of your soul.
I always had the attitude of either go big or go cheap.
One of the two.
Either get the absolute cheapest one you can.
Or actually spring for the one that's not going to poison you.
Yeah. Because you go for the ones in between and it's just a name brand, but it's the same junk as the generic.
Sometimes it's worse than the generic.
It's funny how the name brand products can sometimes add more crap to them than the generic ones.
Oh yeah.
We have our returning customers.
They won't even question what we're putting in our You know, product.
We can poison our most loyal customers.
They will not question us.
Most of them want to overcheck, you know?
I mean, who's going to look at their label?
Exactly. Well, like I was saying beforehand, you know, I had some Reese's peanut butter.
And my girlfriend's like, oh, that's got to be so horrible.
And then she picks up the one that she wanted.
And I was like, well, let's compare.
And the Reese's peanut butter had less sugar.
It was healthier.
All around, except you don't know where those peanuts are coming from, I suppose, and what the process actually is, but just the nutrient label, the nutrition label, Reese's was better than the off-brand, the cheap shit that she wanted to get.
I was like, no, no, girl.
It's never something that you can just assume.
Is the case and not check.
With everything, you've got to go almost on a case-by-case basis, read the ingredients, look through, compare prices, all that stuff.
All those things are designed to trick you into spending more money than you could otherwise on the same product.
Yeah, and now that you mention it, I better bring it up because it's just ridiculous.
I got these platinum kettle-cooked toffee cashews.
The company must be Platinum.
I opened it up.
I took two of the little nuts in there and I ate them and they literally tasted like pure chemical.
I spit them out.
I was like, what the hell is this?
I turn over the package.
I look at the warning label.
It says, warning, reproductive harm.
www.p65warnings.ca.gov slash food.
Which is just all the chemicals in California that are known to cause cancers and other problems.
So, this warning, it literally just says warning, reproductive harm.
It doesn't even say, this may cause, or this has been known to cause.
It literally says, this will cause reproductive harm.
So, that's great.
Platinum kettle cooked toffee cashews.
And then it also says, contains a bioengineered food ingredient.
How many ingredients are there?
Well, there's cashews, sugar, and salt.
Three. Which one of those do you think is bioengineered?
I mean, that's the thing, is it's like, all three of them are potentially bioengineered.
Any one of them could be.
Cashews, sugars.
And there's not really any particular reason to bioengineer any of them, so why not all three?
Yeah, and the nuts come from, which is the product, comes from Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Indonesia.
So, yeah, I wrote, you can't even find this company.
Like, it doesn't even tell you where does Platinum come from.
It'll show you where you can buy Platinum, like Amazon or this store or this store.
But I couldn't find a contact for Platinum.
And so I asked AI, who's the parent company of Platinum?
And it said, Campbell's.
I was like, well, that makes sense.
So I wrote Campbell's, just an excruciatingly painful, scathing letter of my hatred toward this product.
And they should be ashamed of themselves, you know?
And, you know, they just told me, yeah, we don't actually, we're not the parent company of that.
We don't know what that is.
So, what the hell is happening?
What's going on out there?
So, it's just a company that nobody owns.
Nobody, it's a CIA product.
Or at least, at least nobody knows.
Yeah, it's just, among how many of those two, right?
Well, it's like how many people order some kind of, you know, random dodgy munchie off of the internet like that.
Check the labels.
Yeah, and this is in a store, too.
This has a rather uncommon label.
Even if it's only in California, there's not a whole lot of things they're going to say that.
I mean, they're gross.
Don't get these toffee, platinum kettle cooked toffee cashews.
Avoid that company at all costs.
Just kind of a...
Yeah, I mean...
Contains bioengineered ingredients is a hard thing to completely avoid, but it's even weirder when they don't actually tell you which ones.
Normally, behind that, it would say contain bioengineered wheat, corn, or whatever.
And that warning reproductive harm, it's a decent size, too.
I don't know how I missed it.
I didn't think...
About it.
I looked at them and on the shelf, they're on the top shelf.
I was like, oh, it's top shelf.
Grab that shit.
And, uh, yeah.
No, no bueno.
No bueno.
But, uh, anyway, how you doing, man?
Did you have a good weekend?
Not too shabby.
Went out.
At least I got out of the house for a while and went to, like, a winter function.
Always a joy.
What'd you do?
Always chaos.
Well, Went through, did the usual activities, all that stuff.
Snowshoeing? Well, no, indoor snow.
Making snowmen?
No, like going around.
Snow angels?
There was like s'mores and face painting and assembly of boxes and crap.
Now when we talk face painting, is this a family function or just like an adult?
Yeah, it wasn't there for me.
Okay, alright.
Well, I mean, that's good, though.
You got out of the house.
You had some fun.
Got out, did things.
I went shopping.
Spent a lot of money for Christmas stuff.
Oh, yeah.
I did some Christmas shopping.
Damn, Bacchus.
I backed that dude's comic to get a copy of it.
Oh, yeah?
Yep. Pieces?
Yep. I'm gonna read it.
Oh yeah, we did a guest.
We were guests for once.
We were guests on Dees Casillas' show there.
Yeah, he's all like, where can we find you?
And I'm like, Twitter.
And I'm just like, trilled.
Like, I don't know.
Like, other places.
Like, it's a big-ass list.
ACAS, Spotify.
I didn't even realize all the places you had.
Oh, dude, there are tons everywhere.
Anywhere you listen to podcasts, we are there.
Yeah, just not quite YouTube-friendly.
No, no, I haven't even checked, because I did put two of the first episodes up on YouTube, and I haven't even gone back to check, but back then, I think those were just, like, serial killer episodes, so I don't think there's any issue there, you know, with those ones.
Yeah, usually when you're just dealing with, like, detailing.
A case or something.
You could probably get away with true crime stuff a lot easier than conspiracy stuff on YouTube.
Yeah, once we jump into Peter McCullough.
We'll get up there.
Richard Gage will put that one up there.
Let's just put all the more controversial ones up there.
Let's just see what happens.
I mean, I don't know.
If the tides are genuinely turning, they might actually stay.
If it's a bogus thing, they probably won't.
So, I have...
Not much faith in it working, but, you know, we should try anyways.
I mean, what the hell?
Like, the worst thing that'll happen is you'll get struck out of YouTube when you don't use it anyways.
Yeah, but I just don't want to get...
That's the thing.
I don't want to get struck out of there because I want to use this name there at some point.
You know, I'm just holding back on that.
That's kind of like, if all goes well, we can start using YouTube.
Yeah, it's just their...
Yeah, their terms of service are...
Tyrannical. Beyond.
Beyond tyrannical.
Their terms of service are a nebulous force field that you can't see you've crashed into until you're well into it and already being hit by the shock.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
And speaking of that, let's get into some of this drone shit, bro.
What's up with these drones?
I figured we might as well touch on this.
Speaking of invisible force fields.
Yeah, we might as well touch on this when it's still fresh and things are happening.
Because this is going to be a weird coincidences episode, but we really need to touch on these drones.
Because there's a weird coincidence.
There's these drones.
I didn't even think about that.
And that's pretty much as much as we officially know.
That's right there.
Yeah. They've confirmed that they are at least something that people said they saw.
That's about it.
Exactly. And people, I don't know, people are like, well, is it a threat?
Are these things a threat?
And, you know, we know Mayorkas went out and said, these are not a threat.
Don't worry.
These aren't a threat.
They pose no threat.
They look...
Oh, no, wait, that was the other guy.
But, yeah, so Mayorkas is like, don't worry.
We'll let you guys know if these things pose a threat.
Alright, now having done the official confirmations, which is officially that some people have said they've seen things, we can move on to the scuttlebutt of it, which is the more interesting stuff.
Yeah, well, so people have seen these things all over New York, New Jersey, right?
Those are the biggest swarms of them.
And Mayorkas just says...
We have seen no foreign involvement.
These do not pose a threat.
Even though they're flying in FAA grounds or FCA or whatever, FAA, we don't have to worry about them.
But we're sure they're friendly.
Yeah, so if they're letting them fly around in restricted airspace, obviously they have some information they're not telling us, obviously.
And yeah, I would say that there's a whole lot of...
Info being left out here.
I mean, come on.
They don't know anything, but they're not afraid and it's not a threat.
That's kind of contradictory, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, holy.
And he's also saying we're limited in our authorities, so this isn't as simple as certain agencies.
It's like, well, which agencies are you talking about?
He's not even saying they're ours.
He's not saying they're ours, but he's saying they're not foreign either.
And he's saying that we need Congress to address the drone situation.
And we need money, Congress.
We need more money, Congress.
Give us money, Congress.
So that's, you know, Mayorkus is a piece of shit.
Well, that's convenient.
You know, the solution to everything is more funding.
More funding.
We're not going to tell you anything, but give us more money.
You've got to love that pitch.
Yeah, dude.
We just play stupid and ask for money because this is a dire situation.
But they're not threatening.
They don't pose a threat, but we need money to investigate because we don't have millions and millions and millions in black dollar budget we don't tell anyone about.
I mean, we apparently don't even have any extra discretionary.
We tripped and fell on our way to getting appropriations and just don't have anything left over.
It's all gone.
They're a freaking Salvation Army guy sitting there ringing a bell with a little can like, this is all I have.
I don't know if you've seen this article.
An ex-CIA staffer, she's come out and is saying this Jones situation is extremely unsettling.
There's kind of the federal officials brush off the public panic as an overreaction.
So are the public really panicking?
No. I was about to say, I don't see anyone bugging out about it or barely even talking about it for that matter.
No, and I mean, that's because they're like, those people, I see them every once in a while on Twitter, they're like the diehards, like UFOs are here, aliens are real, they're existing, they're here to attack, whatever.
It's like, nah.
You don't see much of those, but I have seen them, and I have to go into those little feeds, and I just have to say, these are drones.
These are military drones.
These are American-made military drones.
Don't freak out.
And, dude, you get bombarded.
Bombarded by those guys.
That's like, if they're actually anything at all, it's like...
Because, you know, you want to be really conspiratorial, you can ask yourself, are they all drones, right?
Yeah. Or is it a collection of drones and then the appearance of drones?
Right. Right.
Like, what if, for example, they're trying to demonstrate, like, their ability to project greater massive force than they actually have in something.
Like, imagine one out of ten of those was real.
Everybody's going with the whole, you know, it's a projection, or they're going with it's definitely real.
Because, you know, there's all these reports of them, quote, transforming from orbs and everything, which, you know, if they're turning from Foo Fighters into drones, that's kind of a bigger story than just the government doesn't know what's going on.
Right. And actually, we have Transformers.
We're going to get into that a little bit because that thing that you just kind of mentioned, how these orbs, whatever, are turning into like airplanes and stuff like that, a program was set up back in the day called Arrow to address that sort of thing.
And we're going to get into a little bit of that.
But let's get back to Laura Ballman, ex-CIA staffer.
So she's all like, we need to address this shit.
What the government's not telling us is that this is just...
Their technology, like she's saying, this is...
I don't know if she's saying it's U.S. military technology, but definitely man-made technology.
The FBI, they received over 5,000 tips, 100 of which warranted further investigation.
This is just like...
What's the J...
Alan Hynek, back in the day, Blue Book?
Project Blue Book.
Blue Beam?
Blue Book?
No, Project Blue Book.
Oh, Project Blue Book.
With Dr. Hynek, and he was sent out to downplay the whole thing back in the 40s and 50s.
Oh, yeah.
60s and shit.
That's a...
We did a whole TV show about it, too.
This sounds just like a newer version of that, you know?
We got 5,000 tips, 100 warranted, because in Project Blue Book, they had like 12,000 tips.
Now I got you mixed up.
Yeah, now you've got to mix up.
They investigated 12,000 plus of these stories that people were telling.
And Dr. Alan Hynek was sent out to basically downplay all of these and give rational reasons for them.
And that's where the whole swamp gas thing came from.
Oh, people are just seeing swamp gas.
That's why you see all these lights and this and that.
Which is just disinformation and misinformation that he was doing.
It's a whole program that they've been doing up until presently.
They're currently doing the same program, just under different names.
Out of those 12,000, they only investigated a tiny percentage of them.
So right here we see it again, 5,000 tips, 100 of which are warranted for further investigation.
Just a more recent blue book.
And, you know, let's not give any data on the follow-ups to that or anything.
So, for all you know, they could just be going exclusively after the extremely non-credible.
Right. To overall destroy the narrative that there's anything going on.
Yeah, and so Republican lawmakers, they're citing sources with high security clearances.
They're suggesting that these drones were Chinese or Iranian or Russian.
And it's always the three big adversaries.
It's always one of them.
Always their technology.
The Pentagon, however, has denied that any foreign country is behind the drones.
Same as Mayorkas.
So... It's like a bulldog on a leash.
It's like, let me at him.
Which one is it?
Which one is it?
Let me get him.
Come on, let me at him.
I could get him.
I know it's them.
I know they did it.
I know they did it.
And some of these are flying over U.S. military installations, and we see that quite often.
And what's the story we always hear?
Oh, it's the aliens.
They're just here to...
You know, observe the nuclear facilities to make sure we're not going to set them off and kill ourselves with them.
Oh, yeah.
Which is almost like a morphing of the original Star-Lore story that, you know, back when I read up on all this stuff, like 20 or 30 years ago.
One of the demands that the more peaceful species had that they wanted to do before we made a deal with the devil was that they wanted them to give up their nuclear capabilities because they essentially said, you're not smart enough to have these yet and you will kill yourselves with them.
And they said, nah, we'll go with the evil ones because they'll give it to us anyway.
So goes the story.
I've always wondered, it's like, if all these angels and all this positivity exists, and this technology, what is a technology meant to improve life?
Why is it always given to the bad guys that always fuck with our lives?
All throughout history, that's how it's been.
Why is that?
Why aren't the good guys ever in charge of this shit?
Because nobody ever wants to share the good tech.
So then it always becomes a commodity.
And once it becomes a commodity, it turns into an industry, and anything that becomes an industry just automatically corrupts itself.
Because then it becomes self-sustaining, and you gotta get everybody paid, and everybody's gotta get more, and everybody needs bonuses every year, and you gotta grow, etc., etc.
I guess that's pretty much the antithesis of an anti-hero and whatever in comics, where a good person gets hold of something nobody else has, and it corrupts them because of the power they now wield.
Make some turn.
They don't want anyone else to have it.
Yeah, pretty much.
It's like the one ring.
Everybody thinks they can hold it.
But the reality is very few people can.
And those people don't generally seek it.
That's the trick.
A few times you've seen in history where somebody like that got into power, the main thing they did was they gave it back to the people and absconded usually because they didn't really want it.
Like, you think of all these times that these more selfless people just kind of got appointed to something.
They almost never sat there and kept it because they kind of knew that it had corrupting influence.
They were just like, let's get rid of this.
It's just, you know, because of that nature, the people that you hand it to might not be as altruistic as you and you get screwed.
So then, yeah, it's almost a paradox.
The paradox of power right there.
You can't hand it over.
You can't hold on to it because either way it gets somebody corrupt.
Because either you hand it over and eventually somebody ends up corrupt getting it or you hold on to it and in doing so it corrupts you.
I think that's the issue with people in general because they don't want to hold the power to themselves.
That's why they give it to all these government people.
So they can set the laws and take care of them for them.
It's why people blame all these systems.
They try to say capitalism or communism is the fault.
And I'm like, no, it's just the desire to gain advantage over other people.
It's such a basic thing.
And if we didn't have money, we'd have a shiny rock that we'd kill each other over.
So it's like, yeah, the...
Money just became a trick where people could siphon energy out of this system and cheat the system.
It was a cheat code, essentially, where you could make something out of nothing by doing things like investing and or, you know, endless usury for like...
Making a blockchain.
Like we do.
Making some Bitcoin.
Yeah, I really kind of distrust the whole concept of investing entirely in the blockchain.
It's skyrocketing right now.
But I mean, if they want to force everybody into a digital currency, why wouldn't they drop that to nothing?
If they want to force everybody into a system, they're going to knock that down at some point, and it's going to be hard.
See, I've never invested terribly much in Crypto, I probably could have and jumped back out at some point, but never really had the extra to do it.
I wish I would have.
I was right there at the computer looking at it, and I was like, oh, I should buy this right now, and I just never did.
Oh yeah, I never really had the extra to do so, so I never felt terribly bad, but at the same time, it's like, had I so much as...
Invested a few bucks back when nobody had heard of it, which is kind of unheard of because I didn't know what the hell it was either.
I could have made a bunch.
Well, that was like the story of the first crypto billionaire.
It was just a teenager and his grandma died and left him an inheritance of like a hundred or like, I don't know, maybe a thousand dollars or something.
And the kid just, the Bitcoin was right there and it was like pennies on the dollar, right?
And he was just like, whatever, I'll just buy a thousand dollars worth of it.
And he just sat on it.
And then in like 20, I don't know when it got like big and massive, 2012-ish maybe or something, when it first like really hit.
When it started exploding, yeah.
He became an instant millionaire.
And he was like, bam.
And it's like you didn't even need to sell it all.
You could sell part of it and then let the rest of it grow.
Yeah, I was definitely a billionaire.
It's just a wave that's going to crest at some point.
Yeah, it's going to fall at some point.
And it's going to be just like, you know, the Great Depression.
Banks collapse.
Crypto's going to collapse too.
It's the same.
It's all contained in the same universe we're in.
It's also going to collapse at some point.
It's going to hurt a lot of people.
See, it's funny because at this point everybody's like, oh, it's inevitable and whatnot.
And I'm like, no, I think it's going to drag on for a while because this is an awfully good racket for them.
And they'll design it.
This is going to get pumped for a while before we actually get the rug pull.
They'll design it just like The Great Depression.
They'll design the fall of crypto.
They'll have everything set in place.
Alright, you guys ready?
You got enough money out?
Let's do it.
Screw over all the little people.
Yeah, exactly.
Right now, to keep the level that it is, if everybody sold, it would crash too hard.
And people would get out too quickly.
It needs to be orchestrated.
You don't want that.
So, back to the drone stuff.
A big thing to worry about here is that the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, it expires December 20th of this year.
So, the federal government is literally using these terrorism drone mystery psyops against us to manipulate Congress, right?
Congress is always just running around with their chickens with their heads cut off.
They just never know what's happening anywhere, right?
They just never do.
Why don't we know what's happening?
It's kind of odd, because I don't know about the House, but doesn't at least the Senate get intelligence briefings?
You would think so.
I vaguely recall that certain parts of the government, they get intel on this.
You would think they would.
And yet I hear these representatives literally saying, we don't know what's going on, and that's kind of messed up.
It's messed up.
Do you not read the news?
Do you have a Twitter account?
Do you have a fucking Sky Blue account?
What are you doing?
What do these people do up there?
They act like they don't know what's happening until somebody's sitting in their chambers talking to them about it and getting asked questions about it.
Yeah, until they get a reporter asking questions and then they're like, we don't know.
And these are the highest paid motherfuckers, dude.
Highest paid.
Just two of them.
Account for the two highest paid, Nancy Pelosi and I forget the guy, but they're worth like $20 billion together when their annual salary is like $120,000.
The cruel reality of the universe is that you can report with integrity for free, but you're not going to make a whole lot of money doing that.
You want to actually make big money, you're going to have to lean to somebody.
That's the trick with the whole system.
That was what everybody acted like because Musk was suing that group of advertisers that that was going to stop.
And I'm like, nah, it's just going to fracture.
These guys all have their hands in each other's pockets.
They'll just break up into Baby Bell style little censorship outfits.
They want to manipulate, using these drones and then faking this alien invasion to create this big scare, they want to manipulate Congress into passing a new House Resolution 8610, a counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act of 2024.
This act is going to include all sorts of appropriations and enhance government powers to do nothing but to control us more, just like the Patriot Act, and this and that, and this and that, and this and that, and the Smith-Munt Act, for instance.
And they're even going as far to push it against us and using it as acts of war against other countries.
So, and like I just said, this is directly related to the Smithmont Act.
And they want to repeal it.
And that act, as everyone knows, prohibited the government from broadcasting propaganda.
Since Obama added that into the reauthorization bill back in like 2012, I believe.
House Resolution, I think Resolution 1410, I believe that was.
He basically made it legal again for the media to broadcast propaganda.
Now, why do you think this is?
All of this is part of a program they're doing.
What was funny was that I remember reading the fact check back in the day on that.
That's not how it happened.
And I'm like, wait, if you actually read into it, it came down to essentially...
They just couldn't formally fund it before.
Right. They couldn't have actual organizations and create them and have agents and stuff.
It had to be some kind of back channel.
I'm pretty sure they did it before, just not legitimately.
I thought that was great that the fact check actually made it worse.
Like, effectively, nah, they were already scummy.
They just wanted to legitimize their being scummy.
These sons of bitches.
Alright, so check this out.
That's a great dodge, though, right?
Nah, nah, they didn't actually legitimize...
Yeah, they didn't legitimize propaganda, because they could already do that through backchannels.
Boom! So, House...
Representative Chris Smith of New Jersey, he is drafting legislation to allow state and local police to shoot down drones since the defense...
The Department of Defense is refusing to act on this situation.
So that's pretty crazy.
I think what this is going to lead to, bro, is people are going to start shooting these drones.
Since the military owns these drones, they're going to fucking incite some sort of Civil War, martial law type shit.
Because we're shooting, and this is going to be happening countrywide, right?
If the police are starting to shoot the drones, people are going to be like, well, if the police are doing it, I'm going to do it.
You know?
I'm an American!
Oh yeah, at some point.
And so that's the military, whoever's running these drones, they're gonna be like, oh, this is an act of war.
Here we go.
And they're gonna start shooting the people with their fucking drones.
Like, hey, we can use all of these experimental weapons we have now.
These lasers, these, you know, these fucking direct energy weapons we have on these things.
We can fucking incinerate people as they stand right there.
Boom! It's gonna get crazy.
Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy?
But check this out.
I better play this, because this just got posted five hours ago.
This is the Pentagon apparently confirming that the drones seen in U.S. airspace are not human in origin.
Is it for real?
These are not U.S. military drones.
Again, this is being investigated by local law enforcement.
Our initial assessment here is that these are not...
Drones or activities coming from a foreign entity or adversary.
You're telling me we don't know what the hell these drones are in New Jersey are?
Is that correct?
That's right.
That's crazy.
I mean, that's crazy.
That's madness that we don't know what these drones are.
From the Coast Guard, who said that one of their 47-foot motor lifeboats was followed by between 12 and 30 of these drones as they went.
These are six-foot drones that are somehow evading our detection.
They are not being detected.
They're saying no threat, but how the hell do they know?
They don't know anything.
They don't know what it is.
They don't know where it come from.
They don't know nothing.
They know that they can't track them.
They know that they don't emit a signal.
They know that they can't see them when they turn their lights out.
They also indicated that they don't know where they come from.
They don't know where they go to.
One family claims they followed a drone in their car and while it hovered above them, the clock in their car changed times.
Some of the FBI agents that have been assigned to look into this have reported...
Drones flying over their home.
It's right here over Picatinny.
There was a drone just hanging out.
I put my drone up in the air and went towards it.
I had full battery life.
Not three minutes into the flight, I lost control of the drone.
Warning on my screen, you know, lost control.
And my drone started going down, dead.
These are fully charged batteries.
It's two batteries that have died within seconds.
And the drone went up and, what, like a couple feet off the table?
And then came right back down.
Okay, you see it?
You see how it goes?
See how it goes?
And then it becomes a spacecraft or aircraft or whatever you want to call it.
What the fuck is that, bro?
Did this get smaller?
Bro, what?
Above the ocean, and it was low, very low, but so bright and so clear.
And it was huge.
I'm concerned.
I issued a letter to ask for more information, and I think there should be a lot more transparency about it.
Can you make that any more sense?
Because I think people in New York and New Jersey see drones the size of an SUV over their house every night and think that that doesn't make any sense.
I understand why people would be looking at this and being concerned about it.
We're concerned about it too, which is why we have the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.
My goodness, looking at this.
And we're taking it seriously.
Well, that first clip was the fucking Pentagon lady.
We don't know.
We don't know what these are.
No one knows what these are.
Yeah. Well, anyway, dude, so...
Dark journalist, Daniel, he was on Alex Jones yesterday, and he said some really cool shit about the Jones situation.
I just wanted to kind of go through these notes I took, because it kind of points to exactly what I think about this whole situation.
And it's kind of long here.
But definitely, Cricket, jump in, talk, whatever you've got to say, whenever you want.
Like I'd say, for starters, all those clips...
Really sounds like easing us into some kind of alien invasion narrative.
Yes. Oh, and I think about all those clips.
If anyone watches these, why would an extraterrestrial race so far superior than us use blinking lights, greens and reds, just like our official airplanes?
See, they were talking about how it didn't emit a signal or it was an unknown signal or something they couldn't detect.
And I thought to myself, wait, are they talking about a transponder?
Because you can actually turn those off.
Yeah, right.
Like, you don't necessarily have to have some kind of locational thing, and then you've got to ask yourself, who would have the authorization to pilot an aircraft in U.S. airspace without operating a transponder, without immediately getting an F-15 trailing them?
Exactly. Hmm.
That's interesting, because, like, last night, I, uh...
Doing some Christmas shopping, and I got out of the car, I looked up in the sky, and there's this really bright light, and I was like, oh, it must be like Jupiter or something, because it's super big.
So I took Stellarium out to see what it was, and I pointed it up there, and it was not showing up in Stellarium.
And my girlfriend was like, oh, whatever, let's go inside, it's cold.
I was like, God, but what is this thing?
We've got to watch what this does.
It's probably going to be one of these drones.
Anyway, so on September 30th of this year, Elon Musk, he posted, quote, So right there, he's prepping the oncoming drone swarm.
So he knows what's up.
He knows he's up in the echelons of all that shit.
Cue the Looney Tunes space episode music.
And he can't talk about aliens and UFOs openly because he obviously has a relationship with the U.S. government.
And space agencies.
So he's privatized and wants to get higher up.
Maybe he is this white hat good guy and he's trying to get higher up in this group of government, in Trump's government, right?
So in order to do what Musk does, they have to have agreements with the Space Force, like DARPA, for one, Air Force, Space Force, whatever.
So he can't talk about any of this publicly.
And all of his equipment picks up Pictures of shit, right?
There's sensors on all of his stuff.
Because these satellites he's putting up there, do we know that they're just his satellites, right?
They're not his satellites.
They're the government satellites.
The government says, yeah, we'll let you put all these up there.
You just gotta put all this stuff on them.
And here's a couple billion dollars.
Don't ask questions.
If anyone out there thinks that Elon Musk is in charge of anything...
Gotta be fucking crazy.
Man, hey, he's in charge of apparently an extremely prolific Diablo account.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So cool, he just posts his online gaming on Twitter all the time.
The government, the military, is creating this UFO threat, right?
And it gives them the ability to call in an emergency, a national emergency, and initiate their continuancy of government program.
Because... I think that's what they really want.
Whoever this guy is that runs the contingency of government program, that guy wants to be in power.
And nobody knows who this guy is, but...
Well, his name's Gregory Gio.
That's who he is, but we'll get into that.
But they've been working at this drone thing, this alien threat, for a very long time.
And what they're doing is pretty risky because they don't know how the public's going to react with this whole thing.
Just like in the 40s and 50s and all this shit.
Remember when Orson Welles put that thing on the radio?
In the 50s.
Oh yes, War of the Worlds.
The War of the Worlds broadcast where everybody all freaked out because he didn't actually say it was fiction.
Everyone lost their fucking minds.
So that's kind of what this is, but people now are pretty familiar with what UFOs, UAPs, and aliens are, right?
The general public has a pretty good understanding.
Which is all part of just getting us warmed up for an eventual evasion.
So we sit back and we're like, hello aliens, hi!
You can land right here.
Remember they did it in Wisconsin or something like that?
They had this huge festival and made this alien landing site and they had this festival but the aliens never came.
Yeah, what do you do?
I think I like the Zoltan cultists.
Zoltan! Where's my car?
Zoltan! Yeah, they do the whole hand thing.
Zoltan! Well, let's see.
So, yeah, they've been doing these public tests like this for forever, just to see how the public's going to react, see where we are, like, okay, how much further can we go now?
Are we able to do our endgame, which is this actual alien invasion?
So, where did all this stuff start, man?
Marmuth, New Jersey, right?
I think it's in New Jersey.
But Marmuth is where a lot of this activity is happening right now, and that's actually where...
A ton of this type of technology actually began in Marmuth.
Can you believe it?
All this exotic tech right there, right at ground zero where all these sites are taking place, the vast majority, right there in New Jersey, New York.
That's where this technology began.
I know.
Who would have thought?
They like to be extremely unsubtle while making fun of anyone who points it out.
Yeah. I would like to say, as a representative who serves some info for an alien species, that they would not need to, quote, invade anything, or for that matter,
land. The base where all this exotic tech was taking place, it was a military base, they shut down when the public caught on, like they always do.
And, uh, Netflix.
Everyone's favorite, Netflix, which is obviously a CIA social engineering program thing, too.
They recently bought 300,000 acres in Marmuth.
So, kind of a weird connection.
Netflix is a...
Okay, so Obama.
He's a producer, right?
He's made a few movies.
At least produced them.
But he obviously has a lot of connections with Netflix.
He made Civil War, Leave the World Behind, and I think it was recently, he did...
A thing where he was telling the story of Barney and Betty Hill, one of the first major stories of an alien abduction.
And you know, it kind of actually begs the question of, do these predictive programming things, do they not actually work if they don't absorb into the collective consciousness?
Because all those movies kind of like...
Hit a wet fart and left.
They really do.
People were arguing about them before they come out, but when they actually did, everyone was just like, eh, it's an okay movie, but it kind of sucks.
And then it was just gone.
If it would have been a quality movie, maybe the propaganda would stick, but it's like, because part of the propaganda is to do crappy movies, it's almost eating itself, because at some point, people just don't absorb it.
Because they just don't get it in the first place.
They automatically just go, this is a fictional movie and this is stupid.
Yeah, exactly.
It kind of turns them off in advance to whatever they're trying to push through when it's faced this way.
I always thought the whole Solzhenitsyn thing when he says the quote about they lie, we know they're lying, blah, blah, yet they keep lying, etc.
The one key point of that thing that's left out of that quote is, and then the ones who keep squeaking go to Bulag.
And without that, things just don't work in the long run.
So it's like, you know, what worked in like one isolated space doesn't really work in the larger scale of things because there's too many variables involved.
And realistically, it didn't work long term in Russia either.
It just worked for years and failed.
Exactly, dude.
It'll always fail.
And that's what they're trying to get.
They're trying to get past that point with decades of this predictive programming stuff.
Decades of it.
But it's like the longer it takes them to do it, the more we're going to call bullshit.
Yeah. See, people talk about the great filter of the species, but the real great filter we have right now is squeezing everybody's head through this bullshit.
And we're finding that great filter to be very clogged.
Very clogged, dude.
So we know the government is just totally whitewashing, downplaying, and just muddling the whole situation right now.
So the swarms, they are just a test.
And basically the question is, will the test go live into a full-blown emergency situation?
Which is what at least certain factions of the government want to do.
They want to issue these emergency situations, which, well, I should call them interventions, which will grant emergency powers.
To the people who are delegated, which are probably the people who have organized this entire thing, which is currently Gregory Geo, the head of the Cognitive Contingency of Government.
He's a general that also runs NORCOM, and he is in charge of NORAD, and is a COG combatant commander.
So this guy is fucking hardcore.
He's a hardcore dude.
Yeah, so there's somewhere around 100% chance that you're the military-industrial complex at that point.
And that's what we're talking here.
Definitely military-industrial complex.
When people talk about the military-industrial complex, this almost represents the embodiment of it.
100%, bro.
And so what happens when he becomes in power and these initial extra supreme powers happen?
Well, he becomes the supreme ruler of the country.
And it totally invalidates all the powers of the president, dude.
The president, you know, Trump would just be like, oh.
But of course he's in on it too.
So then he would actually then set up regional governors all over the country to keep the government running effectively and efficiently.
And so this would go on until a full analysis of the dangers of the said alien invasion.
And if it's safe to do so, then a real general election can be done.
Well, I shouldn't really say real because it would be all orchestrated too.
Okay, this guy's going to be president.
You're going to be vice president.
You're going to be this guy, this guy, this guy.
And that would be the normal politics.
We'll be back to the normal politics.
But the politics, the bar would be raised so high.
You know what I mean?
Much more extreme as of that point, the rhetoric.
Yes. Yes.
It almost seems like all that stuff being leaked out there and whatnot was to gauge the overall response, which seemed to not go over as planned.
Most people kind of laughed.
I mean, the fact that even a lot of the UFO community is not as silly.
Community laughing at you?
Well, you know, there's a diehard segment of it that's always going to believe, but even this segment's like, nah, here's some patents of some anti-grav devices.
Like, this is just military stuff.
Yeah, and anybody can go on fucking YouTube and look up early anti-gravity U.S. government, and there's video.
There are videos of really early U.S. government tests with these, what you'd call UFOs.
People are standing on them and they're flying around like a little floating skateboard.
That must have been really annoying for the people who used to get mocked so much for this.
Like, no, the patent's right here.
Of course, back then, you'd have to look it up, do a lookup in the patent office, get the documentation, and then people would just say, you faked it.
A lot harder to cover things up now.
Now that we've got all this info available at everybody's fingertips, the informational soup is only a soup if you don't know where to look.
Exactly. And so what are all these drones doing?
It's probably multifaceted, right?
They're testing the general public.
They're also collecting tons of data to see how the public's going to react.
And a lot of people are also talking about how they are like nuclear sensory, like they're trying to find a nuclear bomb or a dirty bomb somewhere.
They're using them to find it.
That's why you're seeing the swarm.
That sounds a bit like a government cover-up story.
Well, you know, that's where all that scuttlebutt does come in as at least useful to make some inferences.
I heard someone commenting that all of the sightings seem to occur in the evening, but not after 11pm.
Which, you know, if they were looking for actual...
If they were running a drill or an exercise or some kind of demo, they're going to end it at a certain time.
If they're actually looking for something, you'd think they'd just keep going and not like, okay, shift's over.
Yeah, for real.
And I've heard a couple of accounts of people catching up to these things and them vanishing on them.
That's leading to the speculation that at least some of these may not even be drones at all.
And that's also a possibility, dude, if people are also talking about how maybe the government's saying, oh shit, there's a real alien UFO right here.
Fuck, we can't let the general public see that.
We have to create a diversion, our own fake alien invasion, to get people's attention away from the real one.
And muddy the whole thing.
To shout out Masamune Shiro.
I'd say that the other option would be we've perfected thermoptic camouflage.
Because if it's either a projection or if the thing is disappearing, you just can't see it anymore.
And the other option, of course, is it's at night and it's only visible because it's lit.
So check this out, man.
On October 13th of 2010, there was a massive UFO sighting over New York City, right?
It's tons of lights just hovering over the city.
And then if you go further back, there were the Phoenix Lights back on March 13th, 1997, which were just a bunch of lights on the horizon, kind of above the mountain over there.
That was a huge deal.
Remember all that?
Ah, the Phoenix Lights story.
Yeah. And so those were both government tests.
To gather data.
Arrow was set up and later it was Senator Gillibrand from New York who helped get that program pushed through.
But the program was actually connected to the National Defense Authorization.
And so if anyone in Congress or Senate or whoever tried to challenge the NDAA, it would hold around like $1 trillion in defense contracts and other spending.
So who wants to attack that and hold up all that money, right?
So like, yeah, push it through, push it through, push it through.
And Marco Rubio of Florida is who helped her push it through, and he's pretty big on all these UFOs and aliens, you know?
He's pretty big on that.
And guess what?
Marco Rubio is also going to be the Secretary of State under Trump.
So, all these people have their positions to play.
All of them.
Oh yes, everybody's got their role in this.
And that's actually, if you remember, that was Hillary Clinton's position under Obama.
I mean, anybody that involved in Close has got to be well in deep.
I mean, that's not just a matter of, like, oh, I don't really know anything, I just work here.
Like, there's compartmentalization, but then there's always the people who do have to be in the know.
Oh, I better mention this, because it's kind of crazy.
There was a huge invasion over the...
I shouldn't say invasion.
There was a big swarm in 1952 above the White House, if any of you remember that.
That was part of all of this.
And then following that incident, there was the Kinross incident, in which two UFOs merged and became one.
And in that incident, a fighter jet was actually sent to track the craft, but the fighter would end up dying in a crash.
Or was that all part of the narrative?
At any rate, there was a new classification which would create the need for a new group to oversee it, and guess what it was called, Cricket?
Something really subtle.
X-Protect.
X-Protect.
X-Protect was in charge of none other than misinformation programs aimed to stonewall the public and confuse them.
Does nothing but, like, Elon Musk just ring a bell?
Is this him funding something fighting himself?
That's what he would want it to be.
I mean, is it actually behind him, or is it just X because people like X for the unknown factor?
He's on their team.
No matter what, the public tries to make it out to be like, no, he's against Klaus Schwab.
He doesn't like him.
Like, no.
Maybe on a personal level, but he works for them.
He is on their side.
That's why, I mean, this is crazy to think otherwise.
And if you remember William Casey, the CIA director in the late 70s and early 80s, sometime around there, he made a statement, quote, we will know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false, end quote.
That was made in 1981.
Yeah, and a huge part of that is misinterpreting statements that could be misleading or interpreted a different way based on what you know about the person.
He had that speech where he argued against a monoculture, where he said we can't create a monoculture if we're all the same.
We could all perish the same, etc.
And getting our species forward.
Was he actually suggesting a multipolar strategy of tricking humans into this?
Was that actually an oppositional thing or merely a suggestion of diversion of strategy?
Everybody acted like that was that huge stand against tyranny.
He's going to fuck them.
Listen to that.
He doesn't want to create a monoculture.
I'm like, yeah, but he also has to have you install things into your brain.
Exactly. All of his money is from the U.S. government.
And it's funny because he wants to end that sort of thing from happening for other people, not for him.
You get to vote for Ozymandias or Galatia, and there is no third option, even though there's lots of third options.
I just don't tell you those.
But it's like you get to choose either the war and stuff, or you can choose the option of being slowly taken over through artificial intelligence and propaganda.
Who was it that wrote the book?
To inhabit Mars.
It was an old, old, old book.
Back in the day.
Famous author.
I think it was actually...
Wernher von Braun.
In his biography, he wrote some book or something like that.
And he talked about colonizing Mars.
And he said that the governor of Mars would be named Elon.
And here's Elon Musk, who wants to colonize...
Mars. Well, there you go.
We at least got an unusual coincidence to lump on to the first one we're reporting on.
Yeah, dude.
It's crazy.
It's fucking crazy.
Yeah, kind of like the Baron Trump story or whatever it is.
Right, the time traveler, yeah.
And so in 2016, guess what the most searched phrase on Google was?
UFO. Yeah, well, you know, the interest in it has ebbed and flowed over the years, but it's grown quite a bit.
And more recently, we've had this whole thing where we've got this whole monetized disclosure project where everybody's got all these funding and big names behind them and stuff, and you're just like, if you're being allowed to disclose these things,
now I doubt it.
Well, now I think you're full of crap.
I think you're full of shit.
And in 2016, if you remember, the Secretary of State was Hillary Clinton and she was pushing UAPs before UAP was a thing.
And now, like I said, Marco Rubio is taking that position and he's been pro-alien for a long time.
He's been pushing that for a long time.
So it's just so funny how they just follow each other's footsteps and continue on pushing the same programs.
And originally, man, back in the day when Billery Clinton was president, they wanted him to carry out this plan.
They wanted him to roll this out.
Or maybe it was Killery Clinton they wanted, not Billery.
I think it was Killery, actually.
I think they wanted Killery to roll this plan out.
Because she was hanging around Tom Delaney, you know, or is that his name from that 90s band?
Tom DeLong.
Oh, yeah, I was about to say, like...
I'm sorry if I ever get any of you celebrities wrong and blame you.
You might not all be scum.
Just as a blanket apology for all the times I screw names up.
Oh, for real, dude.
Yeah, so Tom DeLonge from the 90s band.
I cannot think of that band for the life of me.
And Tony Podesta.
You remember him?
He was talking about UFOs and alien disclosure and shit.
He was on fucking ancient aliens, for God's sakes.
So they were all pushing this alien agenda.
Would he possibly have he related to another Podesta?
No, hold on, hold on.
I think I meant to say Tony Podesta.
Did I say Tony Podesta or John Podesta?
You said Tony.
Okay, I think I meant to say John Podesta.
Yeah, I'm like, is there a relation to this?
Tony Podesta is his brother, but he's also in politics.
Ah. So I'm not sure.
I think it's John Podesta, though.
The fucking, the guy.
So the non-political one, supposedly.
But he's back in, dude.
He's back in politics.
Oh, I was about to say he ran some kind of, or I guess he ran a campaign.
So not completely non-political.
Yeah, he just stepped to the side.
But never running for yourself, though.
Always just the man behind the curtain.
When all the Pizzagate came out, he kind of stepped aside and was like left, kind of left.
Politics with one foot in the door, so to say, but he's definitely still in the same old shit.
He figured if they can rehabilitate George Bush, make people somehow inexplicably like him, I'm like, what the hell is wrong with you?
They turned your despising somebody else into liking somebody just as bad.
That's so crazy how they do that.
People are like, yeah, I love him.
Yeah, like...
He's like the worst guy in the world.
I'm like, nah, he was bad.
Let's be honest with ourselves.
Terrible guy.
And so, speaking of Wernher von Braun, in his diary or whatever, he talked about how the wild card would be an alien threat.
Like, when all else fails, when the public is out of control, for absolute control, the wild card is this alien invasion idea.
This comes from Wernher von Braun.
Like, the Nazi scientist who then came over here in Project Paperclip and started NASA.
I mean, this shit runs deep.
I mean, maybe he had...
Yeah, I mean, maybe he had contact with aliens.
He pretty much told them, we wouldn't have to do that.
Sounds like the guy had some pretty high-level Nazi contacts.
For all we know, he talked to freaking ETs and crap.
No doubt, dude.
That guy knew a lot.
I was about to say, like, Wernher von Braun, that's, like, a pretty high-level name in the Nazi hierarchy.
Like, there's some crazy science fiction involving that dude.
Yeah. And, you know, how much of that's, and, you know, how much of that's science fiction and how much of that's inadvertent disclosure, you ask yourself.
Just kind of dressed up as some kind of really gussied up and Hollywoodized version of what actually happened.
Yeah, and he was connected with Walt Disney, all these guys.
He worked on a TV show with Walt Disney in the 50s.
So he was all about pushing these agendas with the CIA.
It was all about it.
So, did he get paperclip then?
Yeah, he was paperclip.
He was like one of the first Nazi scientists to come over on paperclip.
It's like they nailed random people and let that dude go.
Yep. Yeah, we brought up to 30,000 Nazi scientists over here on Paperclip.
They want to say only 3,000 or something, a really tiny number, but it was far more than that.
It kind of brings to a lie that the Nuremberg thing wasn't about anything except setting up the UN and getting everybody to act like justice is getting served.
Because they make this big show of prosecuting a few of the major players and then be like, rest of you, come on over.
Yeah. As Sam Tripley says, they just crip-walked over.
They just...
Crip-walked on over.
Hello, hello, hello.
Hello, how are you?
Hello, hello.
Nice to meet you.
I remember one of the guests we had on was talking about like...
People being transplanted over here that were dressed up in full-on regalia in these neighborhoods.
They had no quarrels about flaunting who they were until they had to go deep underground.
A lot of people say that those...
Yeah, there was a...
I mean, initially in the aftermath, they weren't as...
The stigma grew, almost.
A lot of people say that those Nazi hunting parties at the Jews...
They had TV shows about them and shit.
A lot of people say that those are just...
Propaganda videos.
They weren't actually doing any of that.
But I don't know.
It's hard to say.
I know.
It's hard to believe anything these days.
It's a story of who's got what to gain, who's got an angle here.
Can you actually clear all of those things?
That's the hardest part.
Can I actually establish that nobody has an angle at all?
In the cases with these major players, They generally have to, well, for now, regretfully disclose these things, but you get to the smaller players,
a lot of them, nobody's ever going to know who the hell they are.
No, never, dude.
Until intrepid journalists fucking dig deep in the future.
Man, I was thinking, way in the future, when they read world history, I'm talking maybe a thousand years.
And they're reading world history, and they're reading about the whole COVID thing, and they're like, wow!
They just willingly lined up for the government to put these experimental shots on them that killed them and gave them tuber, turbo cancers?
Wow! Wow, way before that, they just lined them up on trains and sent them to gas chambers?
Like, we gotta...
I know, they got all this, like, uh...
See, we have all this info that, like, effectively, like...
Just creates impressions of people.
And so then over time, it creates this almost mythos.
And then inevitably, even if someone was bad at first, you're always going to get the bandwagoners on who are just there to gain from it, inevitably.
And so then you get the people who write whole freaking books and then they're like, you weren't even there!
How can any of this be verified?
And so anytime any kind of messed up thing happens in history, someone wants to gain from it.
Whether through gaining through some tragic story or gaining directly by pushing people through the scare tactics.
Into things.
Well, that's what we see a lot of now, man.
Scare tactics, doomsday posts, and getting people all riled up over things.
But let's face it, the world is kind of fucked up right now, guys.
We're not in a good spot.
We say a lot of shit.
Oh, yeah.
To take the WW2 talk back to the president.
Yeah, there's a whole lot of scare tactics going on here.
I mean, the whole we don't know anything at all, and it's an unknown signal, and we can't recognize the power source, etc., etc.
It's all designed to scare you.
It's just, it seems like the response is pretty much, meh.
Everyone knows that's just the government.
Shut up.
I don't think that was the response they wanted.
I think they wanted people to get alarmed to a certain extent.
And so you got the hardcore UFO believers who are like, they're here, they're going to save us.
And then you have everybody else who's just like, yeah, it's probably the government.
And they're like, man, nobody's really freaked out.
So do they want to just get us so used to it that when the real...
I firmly think that there's other life in this universe.
I can't say for certain there is or isn't, so I can't say for sure that there is not.
So the possibility that there is, is still on the table.
So, what if, and I'm just going to speak broadly and generally for everybody who's in the same camp, like, there is a real alien species out there that is intending to come here.
And so all of this government shit, this planning and prepping and manipulating and misleading us, is all meant to get us okay with the sight of these creatures or these alien species, whatever.
And so what they're doing is just priming us to be okay.
When the real thing happens, we're just like, oh, okay, it's them.
There's no reason to get all up in arms about it because they're here now.
Okay, we're already used to you being here.
When weren't you here?
If they were just bringing in all of a sudden, people would freak shit.
It's just odd that the Disclosure Project doesn't seem to really want to actually talk to most people about it that are alien-inclined.
It's like this select group of people who are then elevated to these places.
That's what makes you probably think it's some kind of conditioning program.
If it was actually aliens and disclosures, you'd think you'd be hunting down and rooting out every little scrap of info you could to get out what all these alien species want to say.
Wouldn't you want to get all of their perspectives?
Wouldn't you want to hear from them?
I mean, I would.
And yet we've had people on this show who...
They'll jump on and say straight up, I'm a pretty prominent figure in this movement and everything, and none of these people want to talk to me.
They don't even want to contact me, and I reach out to them.
It's one thing that I don't bother talking to nobody, so it's like nobody reaching out to me is a whole different story from I'm actively soliciting these people and saying I have this unique info and they're ignoring me.
Well, and those guys, these people, they just want to, like, keep a really close-knit group of people who have money and influence and who know will side with them forever.
So, you know, your whole Team Humanity group, the Alex Jones, Trump, RFK, or not, I guess, can't really put RFK in there, but, like, Joe Rogan, like, these types of people.
I mean, if they all started subtly punishing a narrative that these were, that this actually was an alien invasion.
I mean, up to a certain point, a decent percentage of people would believe it just because unlike our government, a lot of those people haven't eroded their credibility nearly so bad.
So it's a matter of you put the government in the place of defending the non-nonsensical position because just having them stand against it Means that they're probably doing it because we've all done the song and dance.
So you also have to be suspicious that eventually they don't catch on to this and start working off of the boomerang effect where they effectively push something by speaking against it.
Right. Yeah, it's also the Streisand effect too.
Yeah, they know what the Streisand effect is, and it's been established by now how it works, like, societally.
So who's to say they don't exploit that to push propaganda and whatnot?
100%. And man, the government has had these psychologists and psychiatrists and these super smart people study us for decades.
They know, like, how the public works.
They know the general...
idea of like the psyche of just in a general term across the board of how human reacts in certain situations like they've studied our behavior they know us more than we know ourselves yep and see another theory that I almost have is that this almost relates to some level of forced evolution like a whole lot of this Seems like it's been sound and fury and scary stuff that's not
even about getting people frightened or subduing them, but more about just kind of flooding the zone there.
See, if you can control both the narrative and the counter-narrative and just get them to reflect back off of each other.
Makes it really hard for anything else to get in.
Throw in a little bit of algorithmic and AI censorship, which, you know, AI is just really still a fancy term for just better algorithm these days, let's be honest with ourselves.
And in doing so, Team Humanity can convince people that aliens are now here, and they're either Here to help us, here to invade us, here...
That's the real question, is what narrative would be pushed by a whole aliens are here?
I mean, they never seem to want to contact me.
Okay, that's right.
Okay, I tried to keep going.
I kind of trailed off and lost my train of thought there.
Alright, everybody.
Let's get into this.
Alright, so this is the second half of the show.
This is Weird Coincidences Through History.
I know we did a whole freaking hour and...
I don't know, 15 minutes or something of just drones.
So, let's get into weird coincidences through history.
The first one, separated identical twins live nearly identical lives.
This is the case of the two gyms.
The gym twins.
So, in 1940, two identical twin boys were born in Ohio and separated just three weeks later.
Adopted by different families unaware of each other's existence, the twins grew up in separate towns and led seemingly unconnected lives.
Yet, their reunion nearly four decades later revealed a series of uncanny coincidences that astounded researchers and captured the world's imagination.
Shortly after their birth, the twins were adopted into two separate families who were not aware of each other.
Despite their identical genetics, the brothers would grow up in entirely different environments.
Their names, however, were the first of many striking coincidences.
Each adoptive family independently named their son James, and over time, both boys became known simply as Jim.
Neither Jim knew he had a twin, and for 39 years, they lived parallel yet separate lives.
What makes this story so remarkable is not just the biological connection, but how their lives mirrored each other in ways that seemed almost impossible.
Right? When the twins were reunited in 1979, they discovered a long list of astonishing similarities in their lives.
The first being a career path.
Both gyms pursued careers in law enforcement.
One became a security guard, and the other worked as a sheriff's deputy.
Their shared interest in protecting and serving their communities highlights an uncanny alignment in their professional lives.
What about romantic choices?
Both men married women named Linda as their first wives.
After divorcing, each gym married again, and their second wives were both named Betty.
Aww, my grandmother's name.
These identical patterns in their romantic relationships are among the most surprising coincidences of their shared story.
All of these things only ever get found after the fact.
Like, you're going through your whole life not knowing any of this stuff.
It's like a whole other world, dude.
It's crazy.
Yeah, so when they split off, did they just get assigned the same storyline?
Right, yeah.
Well, you gotta follow the same pattern here.
Same narrative.
So... Both Jims had sons, and remarkably, each named his son James Allen or simply Allen.
This similarity extends not just to their children's first names, but also to their middle names, adding another layer of intrigue.
What about their pets?
What about the pets, huh?
At different times in their lives, both Jims had dogs, and both had named their dogs Toy.
Repetition of this choice is just crazy.
Right? Smaller, yet more puzzling details.
It's nuts.
How is this even possible?
So, everyone has hobbies, interests.
So, yeah, the twins, they also discovered that they shared many of the same hobbies and preferences and habits.
Both were fond of woodworking.
What, guys not?
Both enjoyed the same brands of cigarettes and beer.
And both drove the same model of car.
What's going on here, dude?
See, that really does just kind of reinforce the whole, they're just following the same storyline thing.
It's crazy.
Like, that's a whole lot of preferences to just get from having the same genetics.
It just doesn't make sense.
There's something else at work here.
During their reunion in 1979, at the age of 39, the two gyms were reunited through the help of a researcher studying twins separated at birth.
The meeting was emotional and surreal.
As they sat down to compare notes about their lives, they uncovered coincidence after coincidence, each revelation more astonishing than the last.
For the brothers, it was not just a reunion, but a rediscovery of the lives they might have shared had they grown up together.
Yeah, I wonder, what if they stayed together, grew up together?
I think they would definitely have done the same thing, right?
Or maybe not, because one would be like, I don't want to do the same thing he's doing.
I almost kind of speculate that...
If they had been together, they'd have more likely chosen different things.
That's what I'm thinking.
Just to distinguish themselves.
Right. You don't want to do the same thing, man.
But since they didn't have to worry about that, not even knowing they had somebody else, they just chose what they naturally would.
Which lends the credence.
Like, we all have our independent, our own, like, direction, our predetermined path in life, right?
See, like, the lazy programmer just copied the script.
The lazy programmer just copied the script over.
Like, you know what?
Let's just write this story twice.
There you go.
This one will be easy.
Copy, paste.
Hollywood would put a two on it and just change the names of the name.
There you go.
It's a brand new movie.
They do the same thing.
Despite their separation, they found that their lives had followed eerily similar paths, creating a profound bond that bridged the decades they had spent apart.
In the case of the two gyms, the gym twins became a landmark in the study of twins and human behavior.
Their reunion provided valuable insights into the nature versus nurture debate, highlighting the powerful role of genetics in shaping personalities, preferences, and even life choices.
Researchers noted that many of the gyms' shared traits, such as their career choices, pet names, and hobbies, could be linked to genetic predispositions.
Their case suggested that the DNA might play a far more significant role, The twins' remarkably similar lives raised questions about the role of upbringing,
nurture, or nature.
While the environments in which they were raised were different, these external factors did not seem to override their genetic similarities.
The case inspired further research into twin studies, including the famous Minnesota Twin Study.
Which sought to understand the relative influence of genetics and environment on human development.
So that's a funny thought then.
The genetically derived tendency to call your dog shut up.
It just goes into the thinking is genetic.
It almost feels like even with the same genetics, it would not have played out the same.
It's more so almost like...
It really seems more like a script being copied over.
Like, would it really have played out exactly the same between two individuals otherwise?
Like, at some point, you'd think they would have had some kind of chaos theory tip on that.
Yeah, this is a weird one.
The Minnesota twin study yielded astonishing and sometimes bizarre findings that shed light on the interplay of genetics and environment in shaping human behavior, personality, and preferences.
The strange occurrences and similarities between separated twins include...
Nearly identical life choices, such as taking similar career paths.
Shared quirks and habits, such as toothpaste squeezing.
Toothpaste squeezing?
I mean, uh...
So the percentage of people who squeeze all the way from the bottom was never going to increase.
It was genetically derived.
There's going to be a specific way to...
Like, they probably both, like, folded the corners in first and then, like, started rolling it up super tight.
Like, who knows how they did it.
Because everybody, or maybe they didn't do that, they just squeezed it with their fists like a fucking caveman.
Imagine that's just a doctor trying to justify their OCD.
Yeah. See, it's genetic.
I can't avoid it.
It's like, no, you're just really obsessed with doing exactly this way.
So another is genetic influence on personality.
So even when raised in homes with opposite political or religious ideologies, identical twins often lean toward the same personal beliefs as adults, suggesting a genetic predisposition to certain worldviews.
Some of the separated twins were found to have laughed at the same kinds of jokes and preferred similar comedic styles.
Like the two twins that just love Carrot Top.
I mean, I feel like part of this is also pushing the whole there is no free will narrative.
Some of them shared certain physical tics and unusual traits, such as having an identical posture when sitting or standing, as well as having an identical gait as they walked or ran.
Some would even gesture with their hands in similar fashions.
Some twins developed the same nervous tics, such as tapping their fingers or clicking their tongues, despite never having seen each other do these things.
The study found striking similarities in health-related traits and conditions such as mental illnesses, weight gain, and body type.
It was found that if one twin developed schizophrenia, the likelihood of the other twin also developing it was significantly higher, despite entirely different environments.
Even when exposed to different diets and activity levels, identical twins often had remarkably similar body compositions, including their tendency to gain or lose weight.
Yeah, well, a tendency to gain or lose weight is definitely a genetically derived thing.
There's always going to be people who have way more trouble with it.
That's a hard one to argue against, really.
And then, of course, ironically, what used to be a survival trait is now to our detriment.
Because those genetics didn't get into our genome by being disadvantageous.
They got in there because the people that had those...
Didn't starve when everyone else did.
And now it's a huge disadvantage.
In terms of unusual coincidences in the twins' lives, some twins exhibited coincidences that bordered on the supernatural.
Alright. For example, one pair of twins would actually take a vacation to the same obscure resort on the exact same weekend which is when and where they would reunite.
Another coincidence would be the purchases of identical items.
Some twins would find that they had bought the same make and model of a car.
Others would prefer the same clothing brands, and others would even buy identical household items, maybe even the same tampons.
Who knows?
When it came to creativity and preferences in the study, there was no shortage of similarities.
Even seemingly subjective traits like aesthetic preferences appeared to have a genetic basis.
Separated twins who became artists often gravitated toward the same medium and style, such as abstract painting or sculpture.
Many twins had identical tastes in music as well, often favoring the same genres or even specific artists.
Imagine being married to the same person, but you're two different people.
That would be weird.
And the woman actually doesn't figure it out right away.
That'd be so strange.
Like, both of you have, like, some kind of long-term...
You know, long-term distance relationship where you're gone for months at a time and you just never happen to meet up at the same time.
If one of them's going to miss, then the other one's going to miss.
So they'll always miss each other.
Always miss each other.
Sorry, I have another vacation to go to.
One will be showing up right as the other one leaves and as far as the woman knows, the guy just never works.
She just makes tons of money.
But there's dual incomes.
Oh, I just never looked into his finances.
So how about, like, intelligence-wise?
So, identical twins, whether raised together or apart, scored more similarly on IQ tests than fraternal twins raised together.
This finding reinforced the idea that intelligence has a strong genetic component, believe it or not.
There are even parallels in addictions.
Identical twins were more likely than fraternal twins to have similar smoking or drinking habits, regardless of their upbringing.
Twins often develop the same compulsive behaviors, such as collecting similar objects or engaging in identical rituals.
And then, there were creepy coincidences in death.
Well, I mean, you know, having various ticks be genetically derived is another one that's not really too far-fetched.
Because, you know, a lot of those basic rituals that you think of are, you know, really like looping programming, like ticks that you don't really recognize.
Like, how you wipe your asshole.
Yep, small things.
Do you use a single square?
Do you roll up a bunch around your hand?
And then the actual wiping pattern.
Yep, small things like that.
You know, like, when you start up your car, do you turn the lights on, or do you check behind you first?
I do the whole checklist.
I kick the tires, I check the gauges, I make sure the blinkers work.
The headlights, the brights.
Yeah, as opposed to some other people.
Just go in, turn the key on, immediately put it in gear, and it's time to go.
I just drive and don't look behind him, like pulling out of the driveway.
Just looking straight forward.
I think I looked as I was going.
I was looking straight forward.
So let's bring up the case of the twins, Gerald Levy and Mark Newman.
Separated as infants, twins Gerald Levy and Mark Newman grew up to share characteristics ranging from their experiences as firefighters to their tastes in beer.
Neither knew of each other's existence until a shared acquaintance brought them together.
Can you believe it?
They'd grown the same mustache, same sideburns, and each wore the same...
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
I think it's a joke.
Like, is this some sort of joke?
Like, are you gang-stalking me?
Like, what's happening?
It's like running into a doppelganger.
Are you gonna replace me now?
Yeah, oh shit.
Are you gonna kill me?
And lead my life?
Be like, some other people know I'm here.
Yeah, make a scene.
That's not me.
As the brothers talked, they discovered that they had more looks, more than looks in common.
Levy went to college and graduated with a degree in forestry.
Newman had planned to go to college to study the same subject, but decided to work for the city where he would trim trees.
Both had worked in supermarkets at one point or another, and Levy had a job installing sprinkler systems while Newman had a job installing fire alarms.
This is just a whole matrix.
Both men were of the bachelor type.
who were attracted to similar-looking women who were tall, slender, and had long hair.
In addition to being volunteer firefighters, they both shared favorite pastimes like hunting, fishing, going to the beach, watching old Jane...
old Jane...
old Jane...
old Jane Wan movies, old John Wayne movies, watching pro wrestling, and eating Chinese food after a night of heavy drinking.
It's just what they did.
Well, if you ran into one of these people, you'd definitely be pretty agreeable.
Right. If you had an identical twin, apparently.
Oh, man.
I like you.
We like all the same things.
Both men only drank Budweiser, which is arguably one of the worst beers ever to be brewed.
But they would both hold the beer can with one hand.
Or no, no.
How they would hold it is they'd both hold it with their pinky underneath the can.
Right? Kind of like a little...
I think most people hold their beer like that.
But when they finished the brewski, they would crush the can with their gripping hand.
Like, every time.
They both did that.
Can you imagine how they found that out?
Like, they were both drinking a beer.
They both finished it at the same time.
They both stand in there.
Like, just do everything the same.
And be like this weird, simulated, like, simulacrum mirror.
Yeah. Like you doing.
I don't know.
I don't know how I'd feel about it.
Don't do that.
And you both say the same thing.
Like, quit doing that.
Like meeting yourself.
Yeah, like meeting your shadow on Prince of Persia.
Right. Yeah, dude.
Pull your wallet out.
Start handing money over.
Try to bet on them having more than you.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I saw this video.
It was these drunk people in a bar.
And there's these people sitting at a bar.
And the guy at the bar is filming.
And it's the guy behind him.
There's a big mirror.
And the guy, he's super drunk.
He's, like, talking to himself in the mirror.
And he's, like, getting angry because he's, like, thinking that this is happening, what we're talking about right now.
He thinks that this is happening to him.
And he starts, like, pushing the mirror, and he's getting pushed back by pushing against the mirror, so he thinks the guy's pushing him.
Dude, it's fucking ridiculous.
Just trying to find that video.
Oh, my God.
Talk about getting in a fight with yourself.
Yeah, he seriously did.
I mean, I've heard of getting in an argument and winning, but I've never heard of legitimately kicking your own ass.
Yeah, I wonder who won that fight.
Both of them and neither.
I would wager.
I feel like anybody drunk enough to get in a fight with themselves is probably not going to do anything described as winning afterwards.
Maybe vomiting.
Call the ambulance.
Bring two gurneys.
Yeah, I was about to say, I'm pretty sure any victory is going to be made by the toilet on that evening.
100%. So these twins here, they were both raised in the Jewish faith, but neither were particularly religious.
And in becoming acquainted, Gerald would observe that they both kept making the same remarks at the same time, using the same gestures with their hands, which they both found spooky.
So yeah, look at that.
They were doing that shit.
Imitating their own nervous tics.
Yeah, that would be like a creepy sort of mirroring.
Hell yeah.
I would, yeah.
Like, did they start the same sentence ever?
I always kind of wondered that.
Like, did they start saying the same thing?
Yeah, same time.
Probably wouldn't want to eat mushrooms with that guy.
I mean, he'd get along with you pretty good.
It'd be such a weird trip, dude.
Imagine that.
Just sitting there thinking you're talking to yourself.
Just continually do the same things.
Say the same things.
That would be a bad trip.
For both of them.
Or amazing for both.
Which is mind-opening.
But I feel like you definitely share the overall result.
Yeah, it would definitely be a shared experience.
So this next one here, Edgar Allan Poe book, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon, Pym of Nantucket.
Have you heard of this one?
This is a pretty famous one.
I don't think so.
So Edgar Allan Poe wrote a book, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon, Pym of Nantucket, and it was published in 1838.
It tells the tale of a young man named Arthur Gordon, Pym, who stows away on a whaling ship, the Grampus, and becomes entangled in a series of perilous adventures.
The novel is a mix of maritime adventure, survival tale, and gothic horror showcasing Poe's characteristic blend of the macabre and the mysterious.
So, how does this plot summary go?
They're stowing away in a mutiny.
So, Pym secretly boards the Grampus with the help of his friend Augustus Bernard, who was the son of the ship's captain.
A mutiny erupts on the vessel, leading to a violent confrontation, and after a series of betrayals and deaths, Pym and a small group regain control of the ship.
The Grampus is wrecked in a storm, leaving Pym, Augustus, and two other survivors adrift on the open sea.
Faced with starvation, the group draws lots to decide who will be sacrificed for cannibalism.
Richard Parker, one of the sailors, is selected and killed to sustain the others.
I believe he's also the youngest one.
Pym and another survivor, Dirk Peters, are rescued by the crew of the ship Jane Guy.
Their journey continues to the Antarctic, where they encounter increasingly strange phenomena, including bizarre landscapes and hostile natives.
The story concludes abruptly as Pym and Peters venture further into the Antarctic.
They encounter a mysterious shrouded figure and a white mist, leaving readers with an unresolved and enigmatic ending.
This sudden conclusion adds to the novel's mystique and reflects Poe's fascination with the unknown.
Honestly, that sounds like a really optimistic story for Edgar Allan Poe.
Everybody didn't die at the end.
There wasn't total dissolution into madness.
Edgar Allan Poe is one of the transcendental pessimists.
He wasn't exactly known for being a terribly...
Optimistic writers.
So, yeah, there's the part where they had to eat people, but the fact that they made it at all is really kind of amazing.
Well, I think the part of it is because they had to live with it.
You know what I mean?
They had to live knowing what they went through.
That was like the dark end of it.
But yeah, all of his books, all of his stories, whatever, just full of death and macabreness and just suspense and nervousness.
Like, what is it?
Raven? The Raven one?
Yeah, which essentially is about somebody being really obsessed with someone and, well, kind of going insane and starting to think that the bird outside his window is mocking him.
Goddamn Raven.
Bro, whatever the fuck.
So, a remarkable coincidence in this story emerged 46 years after the publication of Poe's novel.
In 1884, a real-life maritime tragedy eerily mirrored the events of the narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.
So what happened?
Well, in July of 1884, the yacht Mignonette, how do you say that?
Mignonette? Mignonette?
Mignonette? Mignonette, yeah.
It sank in the South Atlantic during a voyage from England to Australia.
Four crew members, Captain Tom Dudley, Edwin Stevens, Edmund Brooks, and a cabin boy named Richard Parker, were stranded in a lifeboat.
As the days passed, the crew faced extreme starvation.
After over two weeks adrift, Dudley and Stevens decided to kill Richard Parker, the youngest and weakest among them, for food.
Brooks did not partake in the killing, but ate the flesh to survive.
The survivors were rescued by a passing ship, but their actions led to a controversial legal trial in England.
The case, known as R. vs.
Dudley & Stevens, became a landfall
So they wanted them all.
is...
How long do you have to go before everyone just starves and they're forced into it?
Because it kind of sounds like they were getting a bit desperate and just went with it.
I mean, I think you just have to wait until the person dies and if you're still strong enough to eat them, I think that's fair game.
Like, I was thinking the problem they had with it was essentially not waiting for somebody to keel over from starvation.
Like, if they just waited...
They could all have died.
Yeah. And when you're that hungry, man, you get desperate, I'm sure of it.
But, yeah.
It's a tricky one, because it's like, yeah, if you're all starving to death and one of you keels over, none of the rest of you might be in any kind of shape to actually eat them anyways.
What's that famous case?
But you would also be able to die without eating somebody, so there's that.
What's that famous case?
Those guys went hiking over the mountains and...
Some of them died and they had to resort to cannibalism.
I can't believe I'm forgetting this.
The Donner Party?
Yes, the Donner Party.
Yeah, I don't know.
The Donner Party, I can't remember if they ate people that starved.
Or it might have been that they ate somebody who died of exposure first.
That's what it was.
Someone ended up killing someone to do it, I think.
Yeah, I can't remember if anyone ever actually murdered anybody in that situation.
I just know it was about cameras.
It's a lot harder one to judge in such a situation because, boy, you ain't been forced into that.
And you don't want to.
That's one of those scenarios where it's like, I'd rather not know how I'd respond to that.
Well, it's like the football team in the Andes, too.
That whole case.
You know, the airplane crashed in the Andes and a bunch of people died on impact, but half the football team was still alive.
The basis of the movie, Call Alive.
Yep. It came from a book, and the book is amazing, dude.
The movie's pretty good, too.
And the two guys hiked out after, like, fucking, I don't even know, four months or something.
They had, like, eat each other's sisters and brothers.
Yeah, I feel like that would be really unpleasant and almost make it kind of suck to have to survive that way.
Worse than just starving to death.
Yeah, what do you do?
I mean, if I needed to live, I would probably eat people.
I would.
If I was in that situation with the Andes football team, I would.
That's a tricky one.
If they're already dead, I would.
The already dead part was...
That was part of it with that one.
There was a situation where a bunch of people died on impact so you didn't have to wait around to the point where you were so weak you couldn't eat somebody anyways.
So, the eerie parallels between Poe's fictional story and the real-life events are pretty fucking striking.
You have Richard Parker.
In both stories, you have cannibalism at the sea, unlikely prediction, you know.
Poe's novel was written decades earlier.
It just seems like a prophetic fucking idea, man.
How did he do that?
It really kind of begs the question of, did somebody read the novel and just go, I think we're supposed to kill Richard Parker?
Someone's like, we need a Richard Parker on that boat.
Let's put a Richard Parker on that boat.
This is kind of like a requirement for the company.
There's got to be a Richard Parker on every boat.
We need a designated Richard Parker for snacking purposes.
Richard Parker.
Richard Parker.
Report to the port.
Report to the port, Richard Parker.
Yeah, there's just one for each ship.
Report for kitchen detail.
No, you're not putting on that apron.
There's a fish in the oven, Richard Parker, of which you get in and grab it for me.
Shove him in.
Yeah, that's right.
Shout out to Salad Fingers.
Alright, so this next one here.
Twins die on the same day in the same manner.
Alright, this is pretty eerie.
In the early months of 2002.
Alright, this is pretty fresh.
An extraordinary and tragic coincidence unfolded in Rahe, a small coastal town in Finland.
Two 70-year-old twin brothers met their untimely demise on the same day in an astonishingly similar manner, on the same stretch of road.
The first tragedy.
The day began like any other, with the first of the twins setting out on his bicycle for what appeared to be a routine ride.
As he peddled along the familiar stretch of road outside Rahi, fate took a grim turn.
A truck collided with the elderly cyclist, sending him through the air and leaving him dead.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene, but there was clearly nothing to be done.
The incident was treated as a tragic accident that let the town in shock.
The second tragedy, just two hours later, the twin brother, completely unaware of his sibling's death, embarked on his own bicycle journey.
In an inexplicable twist of fate, he too was struck and killed by a truck on the exact same stretch of road, just about a mile apart from where his brother was killed.
Eerie similarities between the two accidents left the local community absolutely stunned and deeply unsettled, naturally.
Can you imagine that shit?
Yeah, that would be a little unpleasant.
I don't think...
I feel like if somebody else died mysteriously after that, the whole community would be all freaked out that they were going to get the final destination duplicate on themselves.
That sketch.
Really sketch.
The police investigated the circumstances surrounding the bizarre events, the bizarre deaths here, initially considering all possibilities, including premeditated suicide or perhaps a bit of foul play.
However, they found no evidence to suggest that either twin had planned such an ending to their life.
Which would be such a horrible way to plan.
The second brother, in particular, had no way of knowing about his sibling's death when he set out for his fateful ride.
Witnesses and family members confirmed that the two accidents were...
Purely coincidental.
Here's the word, coincidental.
Well, you know, crazy coincidences do happen.
I had a dumb coincidence happen to me.
I had this horse I was trying to ride that bucked me off of it and trampled me, and then sometime later I finally mustered up the courage to try and ride it again, and sure enough it bucked me off and trampled me a second time.
And then I figured out that it was exactly A year later, on the same day, at the same time.
What? I just happened to decide to try to get on the horse again.
And it worked exactly as good as the first time.
You're just not meant to ride horses, dude.
Yeah, well, I wasn't meant to ride that freaking horse.
That thing did not like me.
I call it coincidence, but I think it just hated me.
That could be.
That could definitely be.
I try to ride one without a saddle, just to see what it would be like.
Oh man, it was a horse that didn't know me.
I didn't know it.
That was not a good idea.
Yeah, this one knew me.
What was I thinking?
Didn't help.
So what's this next one here?
Twins killed by the same taxi with almost too many similarities.
In 1974, Bermuda was the setting for an uncanny and tragic series of events that seemed to defy all statistical probability.
Two twin brothers, deeply bonded in life, experienced deaths so...
Eerily similar that the tale has puzzled and fascinated people ever since.
The story began in 1974 when one of the twins, while riding his moped scooter, was struck by a taxi cab.
The accident was fatal, and the tragic loss deeply affected his surviving twin brother.
The exact details of the collision, such as the location, the taxi driver, and even the passenger inside the vehicle, were noted, but did not initially stand out as extraordinary.
Exactly one year later, the surviving twin was riding the very same moped scooter that had belonged to his deceased brother, and he was struck by the same taxi cab that was driven by the same taxi driver and had the same motherfucking passenger that was there when his brother was killed.
Finally got him.
Spent a whole year hunting him down, finally ran him down a year later.
I know I'll be the smartest.
That's hilarious.
If you believe in quantum synchronicity and such, I would imagine that a whole lot of things occur in such a fashion.
Not just between twins, but between people who just share similar frequencies and whatnot.
It's just...
Normally, the synchronicities are like, oh, we went to the same place and had the same thing.
That's, you know, notable.
That's, you know, maybe a Facebook post or something.
But it's not like news, like when somebody dies in the exact same manner.
So I feel like a lot of why these are so striking to us is because we don't really notice the more mundane synchronicities.
True. That's a good point.
That's a good point.
I literally just notice, like, the big ones that just pop out at us.
Yeah. Like, oh, I was just thinking about calling you when you called.
That's pretty common.
How frequently does that happen to everybody?
It's so common.
It's just a go-to saying now.
It's someone that you literally have not thought about forever, but they're calling you and you're like, oh, hey, I was just thinking about you.
Hey, I was just thinking about you.
Why? Because, you know, I looked at the caller ID and your name popped up.
Your name popped up and then all the memories came back to me.
And then it seemed like I was thinking about you.
And I was thinking about you because, you know, it backfilled that processor info.
Technically, I was thinking about you before you called.
I just didn't know it yet.
So how often did this sort of stuff happen via mail and telegraph and slower methods of communications before we got all these instant ways to really be struck by them?
You're writing a letter back in the day?
You get a letter?
I was just thinking about you.
Yeah, it takes like three and a half months to realize, oh, I was thinking about them when they wrote that.
Yeah, you write them back.
I was just thinking about you when I received this letter.
Three months after it was mailed.
Three months after it was mailed.
They get it back.
Man, I've been thinking about you.
It's been three months.
Good to hear you're still alive.
Yeah, you haven't died of typhoid yet?
So, what's this?
Author predicts Titanic sinking.
Have you heard about this one?
The futility?
I have heard this.
Yeah, I have heard this one, actually.
Yeah, about the book that the guy wrote that kind of plays it out almost note for note.
Yeah, that guy being author Morgan Robertson.
This happened in 1898.
He published a novella, which is a little book, titled Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan, right?
It was a fictional account of a massive luxury ocean liner, the Titan, which met a catastrophic end after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.
Remember, this is just a book, just a fictional story.
What seemed at the time to be a gripping maritime adventure would later gain an uncanny reputation as a prophetic tale.
When his plot bore striking similarities to the real-life tragedy of the RMS Titanic 14 years later in 1912.
So, you know, they added ick to it and were like, we're safe.
Our Titan has the ick.
It'll be fine.
Yeah, ick.
Robertson's Titan was described as a marvel of modern engineering, a colossal ship hailed as unsinkable and built to carry thousands of passengers in opulent comfort.
During its maiden voyage in April, the Titan struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, resulting in a massive loss of life.
The disaster was exacerbated by the ship carrying only the bare legal minimum of lifeboats, far too few to accommodate the number of passengers aboard, especially the rich ones.
So, the Titanic disaster happened 1912, right?
In an eerie real-life parallel, the Titanic, a British passenger liner from the White Line, Was also lauded as the pinnacle of luxury and safety built by the White Star Line.
It was designed to be unsinkable, featuring advanced technology and grandeur unparalleled at the time.
Like the fictional Titan, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic during its maiden voyage in April 1912, leading to a catastrophic sinking and the deaths of over 1,500 people.
Oh, that sucks.
Similarities. Yeah, man, the similarities between the Titan and the Titanic are extraordinary, are they not?
What are some of the most striking coincidences?
The size of it.
The Titan was 243 meters long, while the Titanic measured only slightly longer at 268 meters.
The speed was the same, so both vessels could travel at maximum speeds exceeding 20 knots, emphasizing the power and engineering prowess.
Unsinkable claims.
Both ships were described as unsinkable.
A claim that would prove pretty ironic in both the fictional and real-life accounts.
And a fatal iceberg collision.
Both the Titan and the Titanic hit icebergs.
The lifeboat shortage.
Only minimal number of lifeboats.
Massive loss of life.
Okay? So many similarities.
How does that happen?
How does that fucking happen, dude?
Kind of just plays out.
Exactly the same way.
So, you shouldn't have given your Titan the ick.
You definitely shouldn't have named it that.
And you definitely shouldn't have said something was unsinkable.
Because that's just challenging the universe to find something that will.
And so, it's almost like the universe saw that and thought, you know, this sounds like a story I heard.
It should play out the same.
Yeah, I mean, is it something that was designed?
Because who owned the Titanic?
Yeah, that's the other question.
Yeah, that's the other question.
Are these things actually synchronicities, or are they signs that this stuff was meant to happen?
Because, you know, of course the whole conspiratorial angle is all the Fed Reserve...
Opponents were also on that ship.
All those wealthy people that didn't make it.
All the guys, the rich fucks who opposed the Federal Reserve.
And then there was Rockefeller and a bunch of other ones had tickets to get on, and they got on.
But at the last moment, they're like, I'm Cirque.
I got to leave.
And they got off really quick, all secretly and shit.
After making a point of being seen boarding.
Yep, they made sure to be seen.
Getting on.
And then they all met up at Jekyll Island, the one of the survivors, and they're like, yay!
Let's pass this fucking law.
Now that all the people that said it's insane are gone.
Mysteriously. And now a lot of people are saying the Titanic never happened.
It never existed.
No one died.
I mean, I've seen some old articles back in the day of all these different big city newspapers, and they were like, no...
Everyone survived, miraculously.
Everyone survived the crash.
Oh, yeah.
And they tried to explain it away as the news not getting there fast enough, so they just went ahead and reported them as safely arriving.
Yeah, so there's just a bunch of shit.
There's always a bunch of shit about every major event in history, right?
It's all sorts of shit.
Which, you know, is a...
It's a convenient deflection because, you know, maybe people bought that the news wasn't full of crap back then, but that's definitely a line that works on us now.
Right, exactly.
What's this next one here?
Miraculous Exploding Church Incident.
This one's pretty fucking crazy.
So, the explosion of the West Side Baptist Church in Beatrice, Nebraska on March 1st, 1950 is often cited as one of the most astonishing examples of...
So every Wednesday at precisely 7.20pm, a total of 15 members of a choir would meet at the church for their scheduled practice.
However, not a single choir member was present when the church was utterly destroyed at 7.25pm due to a massive explosion caused by a gas leak.
The blast knocked a nearby radio station off the air and shattered windows in surrounding homes.
The reasons for each person's absence that evening, though unrelated, I mean,
this is Nebraska.
And that's another thing.
The choir director, Laverne Paul, was responsible for organizing rehearsals and leading the practice sessions.
And she was pretty serious about keeping everything and everyone on schedule.
Some say she was excessively strict about everyone being on time.
7.20pm.
By most accounts, though, this is fairly accurate.
Evidently, old Reverend Walter Klemple, bless his heart, lit the furnace, and then just walked out of the church thinking that all was well and that everyone would have a great time during practice while being graced by the warmth of natural gas.
And what followed next was a series of very fortunate events.
That would inevitably save the lives of these 15 people.
So, keep in mind, all of these people went to choir practice on time every Wednesday.
They wouldn't miss it for the life of them.
The pun is intended.
Let's start with the pianist, Marilyn Paul, one of Laverne's daughters.
It has been said by many that Marilyn was way ahead of her time and seemed to channel rock star Ray Manzarek.
The famed keyboardist of one of Laurel Canyon's CIA-backed bands, The Doors.
Can you imagine that?
Just rocking out like Ray Manzarek?
I mean, that's a pretty famous name drop there, to be compared to.
I think I added that in there, just to be clear here.
Maryland, but just keep it in mind.
Maryland typically arrived early to practice before everyone else arrived, like a boss.
However, on this particular evening, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
And Laverne was somehow unable to wake her up.
Now, I've never been in such a deep sleep, but I just picture Laverne grabbing Marilyn's shoulders as she laid there and just started shaking her like a baby, yelling at her and shit, you know?
You know what I mean?
Wake the fuck up.
We gotta go to practice.
Like the movie Airplane.
Oh, I got a pretty good idea.
Try and wake up anybody in the deep part of their REM cycle or in the third and fourth low levels of sleep.
Pretty hard to get them out.
Eyes just roll in the back of their head.
It's like you'll get almost no response to it.
Or you'll get a response to it, but they'll forget they talk to you the next day.
Stuff like that.
That level of sleep is really hard to break out of prematurely.
I would like to get there.
Yeah, it's a hard sleep to reach because you don't usually get there in your first few REM cycles.
Yeah, dude, I'd like to get to that point.
So the second survivor we have here is the Reverend Walter Klemke, pastor of the church.
So he would also arrive early to prepare, but naturally he would on regular days.
But on this particular day, he was held back because on the way out of the door, he and his wife's daughter, Marilyn Ruth, noticed that she had a stain on her dress, which was completely unacceptable.
And therefore, her mother went to work and ironed another dress for her.
And this held them back substantially.
I can't imagine ever waiting to iron something, so...
Right, I know.
Do people even still do that?
So, Laverne Paul.
Laverne Paul was too busy trying to wake her daughter up by shaking her like a rag doll.
To no avail.
It also took her time to get her up and, you know, get ready to head out the door.
By 7.15, they still were not out that door.
Survivors number four and five is Sadie and Roy Mathers.
Okay, so Sadie and Roy Mathers, a married couple who are regular choir members, were delayed because Sadie was feeling unusually tired after preparing dinner.
Naturally. Roy himself decided to do something different that day and helped clean up the kitchen.
Which pushed back their departure time.
So we decided to help.
Six and seven, Lucille Jones and Dorothy Wood, two high school girls, they would always go together, right?
And on that evening, Lucille was transfixed by a radio program, that being Edgar Bergen, the most celebrated American ventriloquist of the times.
Dude, super dope.
The girls were usually prompt, but Lucille uncharacteristically wanted to stay until 7.30pm so she could finish the program.
Dorothy, apprehensively, just nervously biting her fingernails, waited for her.
She didn't want to be late.
The eighth survivor, Joyce Black, stenographer Joyce Black, lived just down the street from the church and was simply feeling sluggish after a long day of housework.
She would later say that she was, quote, just plain lazy, end quote.
I mean, it was pretty cold out and she was just huddled up in a warm house.
How could you not want that?
I think it's a pretty good excuse.
I'd say that's a great excuse for missing choir.
Yeah, great excuse.
It's cold and I don't want to go.
At least you're honest.
Survivors number 9 and 10, Herbert and Martha Klein.
They had just gotten into their car and Herbert attempted to start it, but it wouldn't start.
It just kept pottering out.
They attempted to fix it, but it was of no use and they ultimately decided to head to church on foot.
Started kicking rocks, you know?
Herbert Kipf, number 11, he was a lathe operator, and after work, he found himself in a tiny pickle when he realized that he needed to work on getting an important letter written and then brought to the post office to be dropped off because it needed to be sent immediately.
Knowing he'd be late, he decided that he would drop it off on his way to the church.
Then number 12 here, Harvey All.
He was a machinist and was in charge of watching over his and his wife's two young boys as his wife was out of, I think...
Town. I don't know if she was out of town.
I think she was just over somewhere in a different part of the town doing something.
I'd say out of time at the moment implies she wasn't there to come back.
But he had to watch the kids, which was not a regular thing, so he had to miss choir practice.
Then we have 13 and 14 here.
So Miss Leonard Schuster and Willard, her daughter, oh man, Willard.
Miss Schuster and her daughter Willard were over at her mother's house to help her prepare for one of those sweet-ass missionary meetings where they have sugar cookies, warm tap water, and thread and needles for embroidery and cross-stitching.
And then you have number 15 here, LaDonna Vandergift.
LaDonna Vandergift, a high school sophomore, was doing her homework and desperately wanted to solve a particularly difficult geometry problem before she headed to choir practice.
You know how those math problems get.
Am I right?
Yeah, well, I mean, pretty much all of these are pretty decent reasons to be late.
Other than just being too lazy, it's like, other than that, I had really good reasons to not be there.
Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
So, at exactly 7.25pm, a massive gas leak in the church's heating system caused an explosion that obliterated the building.
Had any of the 15 members been on time for choir practice, they would almost certainly have perished in the blast.
Instead, by what many have called divine providence or sheer coincidence, Every single member was running late for their own unique reasons.
Well, you know, people joke that after something like that, you should go out and buy yourself a lotto ticket, but I feel like you just spent your entire luck bonus, right?
That was it.
This lifetime.
Like, you probably shouldn't even run a stoplight that's changed a little bit.
Yeah, the cat, man.
If that was a cat, all nine lives, that was it.
You spent all of them.
Like, you used all your luck up in one go.
That's just a huge coincidence, dude.
It's a major coincidence.
All 15 people just had a reason to be late that day.
It just defies reality.
I'd be scared to be anywhere whereas there's things that are sharp.
I'd be afraid like a paper cutter would kill me or something.
So yeah, the next one here, 9-11 predictions in media.
Alright, it's a pretty popular one.
In the 1997 episode of The Simpsons, Lisa holds a pamphlet advertising a bus trip to New York City that cost $9.
The design prominently displays the number 9 next to the Twin Towers, creating a visual that appears to spell 9-11.
Some people believe this particular scene is more than a coincidental design choice.
They point out how closely the imagery aligns with the date of the September 11th attacks.
Suggesting that it might reflect an intentional message or a subconscious nod to future events.
Which makes a hell of a lot of sense because Matt Groening seems to put things in his episode that end up coming to light, right?
Yeah, Futurama's got a lot of predictions too.
I've heard that.
Just in general.
Those shows, they predict things.
Yeah, because he also does that show, huh?
Matt Groening also does Futurama, right?
Yep. Yeah, that's what I thought.
I mean, during that scene where Fry is frozen for a thousand years, I'm pretty sure hostile aliens obliterate the Earth like four times.
Jeez, well, there's a prediction for these drones.
This belief stems from the concept of predictive programming, where media is thought to subtly prepare the public for significant events.
The idea is that embedding references to future events in popular culture desensitizes people to the eventual reality, making it seem more natural or inevitable.
Some see this as a way for powerful groups to hide plans in plain sight.
This isn't the only instance where people have pointed to The Simpsons as seemingly predicting future events.
Examples include their portrayal of Donald Trump becoming president or technological advancements like smartwatches.
While skeptics argue these instances were coincidences, others feel the show is a deliberate vehicle for embedding subtle warnings or revelations.
He is a high-ranking Master Mason.
If you're going to put that kind of message into a show, it can't really be in an unpopular show nobody watches.
Otherwise, your programming doesn't work.
It's got to be something very mainstream like The Simpsons.
So weird, The Simpsons.
Another one I frequently heard reference in 9-11 was...
A quick throwaway line in the movie The Patriot where he's making a chair and looks at it and says 9 pounds, 11 ounces.
Perfect. Ooh.
Yeah, there's also Back to the Future has some stuff about 9-11.
So there's a lot of sources that were referencing to this.
Viewed in isolation, you could see The Simpsons one as being just coincidental, but then you just look at the compounding examples.
Yeah. It becomes more than coincidence.
And I know a lot...
I don't know, man.
I want to say a lot of it is just humans designing these things to happen and creating these alternate reality type situations, like ARGs.
I think a lot of the coincidences we see nowadays are kind of like that.
Like the whole Mandela effect.
That's human being intervention.
That's AI intervention.
And I mean, there's examples of it just being used to psyop people.
I think the best one that I can think of is the Fruit of the Loom one.
Because they were pretty much like, oh, the Berenstain Bears one went over.
So now let's try with this and see if we can do the same thing instead of with words, but with images.
But it turned out that images are much more powerful in people's minds and harder to dispel.
Much more.
Much more.
So, and I, and so it's just like, if I remember right, somebody eventually found like the copyright that they held still because, you know, they'll still sue you for putting a cornucopia.
They had it, dude.
It was a cornucopia.
Yeah, I was about to say, if you think that they, if you think that it wasn't like that, reproduce the logo and try to go copyright it.
It seems to me to like kind of push on to people that their memories are even more unreliable than they actually are.
Hugely unreliable.
Like, you'll already create false memories for you and stuff.
You don't need the government tricking you with shit.
So this next one's pretty nuts, dude.
It's a Pakistani Airlines advertisement from 1979.
So it shows the shadow of an airplane passing over the Twin Towers.
And it literally looks like the airplane is like...
It's going to crash into the towers, and you're seeing the shadow approach.
You know what I mean?
So, I mean, it's 1979, and a lot of people are like, this is exactly telling us what's going to happen on September 11th, 2001.
Well, and it's Pakistani Airlines, so it's even setting people up for, they're coming from over there!
Right? Yeah, it's like, oh look, the boogeyman.
Pakistan more recently has been in a lot of conflict with India and whatnot the last few years.
Like forever since they were established in the 40s or whatever.
Part of India was developed for Pakistan.
So at the time, the Twin Towers were a symbol of American dominance in finance and global influence, making them a logical focus for both advertisements and, as some believe, eventual targeted destruction.
The ad could be interpreted as foreshadowing the vulnerability of these iconic structures.
Some believe that the media and advertising from before 9-11 contained numerous examples of airplanes and the Twin Towers being placed in symbolic or ominous arrangements.
These individuals argue that such images may have been part of a deliberate effort to implant the idea of planes and towers together in the collective consciousness.
So, a real crazy one, dude, because you were talking about other TV shows and stuff.
The Lone Gunman TV show.
Spinoff of...
Or it was, uh, what?
X-Files?
So, in the pilot episode of The Lone Gunman, which aired in March of 2001, the plot involves a conspiracy to crash a commercial airliner into the World Trade Center.
The twist reveals the attack is orchestrated by rogue elements within the U.S. government to justify military interventions and increase profits for weapons manufacturers.
Huh, which is exactly what happened.
They were just right on point.
Did they think, uh, that's a little too on the nose, cancel that show.
They fucking aired it, man.
They were testing the waters, I guess.
The similarity between the show's plot and the actual events of September 11th, 2001 is striking.
Some people believe this episode reflects insider knowledge of plans that were already in motion at the time of its production.
We're talking March of 2001, this month.
I mean, it already had the conspiracy angle played out.
Yeah, exactly.
Before it even happened.
Already controlling both narratives.
Both sides.
According to this perspective, the episode may have served as a subtle test to gauge public reaction to the concept of planes being used as weapons.
By introducing the scenario in fiction, it would be dismissed as imaginative storytelling while still planting the idea in the public's subconscious.
And it's so funny because Condoleezza Rice was like, we could never imagine doing this.
Flying planes into buildings?
We could never think of that.
Yeah, we definitely couldn't imagine that.
The Lone Gunman, yeah, was a spinoff of The X-Files.
It explores themes of government cover-ups and hidden agendas.
Many who analyze this connection argue that the episode was not simply a creative coincidence, but a deliberate revelation of plans hidden within a work of fiction.
When you implant it into people's heads, and then if it doesn't happen, then it was just a show.
If they decide not to go through with the plan, just a show.
And if it did happen, well, that sure is coincidence.
Just a show.
But still just a show.
Just a show.
The fact that this episode aired just six months before the real attacks has fueled speculation.
To those who believe in deeper connections, the timing is too convenient to ignore and suggest deliberate forewarning.
100%. So, let's see here.
It definitely demonstrates it's a lie that nobody could have contemplated how this could have happened beforehand.
That's just full-on crap.
They claim that this was something they couldn't have envisioned afterwards.
No, we couldn't do that.
Oh, no.
We couldn't do that.
We just could not.
We're the government.
We have so many, you know, intelligence agencies who are designed to make these things and investigate these things.
So we could never in our lives imagine using airplanes as weapons to fly into buildings.
We don't lie.
We just conveniently don't know things.
But you know what?
We're also going to have a drill of the same thing happening on the same day.
So we couldn't have thought of it.
Like, they literally, was it NORAD?
I don't know, who was it?
Defense? Department of Defense?
We're carrying out drills of airplanes flying into buildings on the same day.
I mean, it was so impossible to predict that they actually had it happen on the same day as they were running the exercise.
They actually had it happen twice in the same day.
So impossible to predict.
How the hell?
Wow. Yeah, these are the kind of coincidences that are not very synchronicity-related.
Not at all.
That's just so impressive.
Well, let's go down here to Jackson Cards, to the Jackson Plane Cards.
You're familiar with these bad boys, aren't you?
Oh, the Illuminati game, or whatever it is?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, this stuff is pretty crazy.
I mean, at face value, it's like, how would they predict all these things?
But then you ask yourself, well, is part of this human made?
Like, you read something like science fiction, Isaac Asimov, for instance, or Arthur C. Clarke, and then you take that fiction and you make it a reality.
Well, yeah.
Keep it.
To look like it's still not.
Like when they were warning everybody about the different scenarios that could be used for global takeover.
Were they really trying to get people thinking about it so those would happen?
Right. So it does kind of beg the question of, does it predict things or does it lead to things?
That's the question.
That's the question.
So if anyone's unfamiliar with these Jackson playing cards, we're going to get into this here.
So it's an out-of-print multiplayer card game that first appeared in 1994.
And they are able to eerily predict major global events.
Everything from 9-11 to the election of Donald Trump and the coronavirus pandemic.
Or plandemic, I should say.
And also the failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on the 6th of January 2021.
Like, all of these are in this card game.
So, let's see here.
Illuminati. New World Order.
That's the name of the card game.
It was released by Steve Jackson Games, and you, the player, are a puppet master pursuing world domination on behalf of your chosen secret society.
Your choices of the Bavarian Illuminati, the Discordian Society, the UFOs, the Servants of Cthulhu, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Gnomes of Zurich.
So you get to choose one of those bad guys.
The goal of Illuminati, the game itself, was inspired by the Illuminatis Trilogy from 1975, which are fantasy novels by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.
Big names.
The purpose is to develop and consolidate a power structure through which to rule the world from the shadows on behalf of the secret society that you are part of.
Manipulating society and dealing out apocalyptic blows to your opponents as you go.
This is real life imitating art.
The game's preoccupation with globalist deep state conspiracy themes was certainly ahead of its time, but the tarot style illustrations on the cards themselves are the real source of fascination here.
So we have the Illuminati's terrorist nuke card, for instance.
It shows an explosion midway up a skyscraper in a scene that looks undeniably like the attack on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001.
And of course, one of the theories of that attack was it was a mini-nuke.
Mini-nuke, yeah, that's one of the theories.
One depicts a bomb blast at the Pentagon.
The next show is barbed wire fencing around the White House, shielding the president from civil unrest, a scene realized in summer 2020 during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations.
And let's see, speaking of Mr. Trump, there's even a charismatic leader card that features a blonde-haired demagogue addressing a crowd of adoring supporters in a seemingly uncanny forecast of the reality TV businessmen's rise to power.
Amusing, given that he was a bankrupt Atlantic City casino impresario at the time of the game's launch, with very little prospect of being taken seriously ever again.
That's so interesting how he was, like, bankrupt.
The fucking mafia, the mob down there, they hated him.
He destroyed a lot of people's lives in Atlantic City.
Like, bankrupted a ton of people.
So they were not happy with this guy, yet now he's president?
Once and going to be twice again?
Kind of weird, don't you think?
Well, you know, you gotta get somebody outside the system to truly, quote, reform the system, right?
And then here's this card.
Somebody who definitely doesn't have any connections.
Definitely has no connections now.
Cut them all off, right?
Well, you know, they cut the connections off, that way those loose ends don't get caught up.
Exactly. So, this card game, there's also a Hillary Clinton card in the deck, and a tree-hugging Al Gore.
Who were, at the time, First Lady and Vice President when this card game was developed.
There's also an Iraqi, the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
He makes an appearance in this awesome fucking game.
And there are, there's a portrayal of two hanged men holding signs announcing their crimes.
What are these crimes?
Well, one reads, used insensitive pronoun.
The other reads, ate flesh of dead animals.
So, that is, like, really on point.
It's the wokest of crimes.
It's so nuts.
Eating a cheeseburger and misgendering somebody equals death.
Equals death by hanging, yeah.
There's also a march on Washington card.
There's one for market manipulation, instigating a deliberate Wall Street crash, and even a plague of demons descending on D.C. You have a bunch of crazy shit here.
I wonder when they played that card.
Right? Yeah, dude.
Yeah. So, Illuminati has long since been discontinued and has become a collector's item.
And unsealed decks of these cards on Amazon and eBay go for like $2,000.
I was checking them out.
I was like, I kind of want to buy one.
But you want like an old first edition set.
Yeah. Otherwise, like, there's just, yeah, you want the original.
More importantly, you're gonna...
You're going to pay incredible amounts of money because, of course, now those cards aren't just some niche interest.
They're like this crazy prophetic thing that everybody wants to look at.
Tons of people want them now after people started covering these things.
And in addition to the game's artwork, a further source of intrigue is the fact that the Secret Service raided the offices of Steve Jackson Games in Austin, Texas on the 1st of March, 1990, and confiscated his hard drives.
A bunch of documents and a bunch of stuff pertaining to the board game or the card game, I should say.
And that's when the Epstein Island card got removed.
Yeah, they got to take the Epstein card out of there.
Yeah. Yeah.
One of the company's employees, Lloyd Blankenship, was also a hacker who served as the system operator for a messaging board that had published a stolen set of files detailing how America's 911 emergency response system worked.
The fact that the Secret Service had been tipped off to and been granted a search warrant for to investigate that.
Oh my.
Well, that's about no good.
Yeah. Steve Jackson himself has also addressed the game's origins, telling Dragon Magazine in the mid-1980s, did you ever get that magazine?
Don't think so.
That his intention was primarily satirical and that he hoped to keep the tone tongue-in-cheek rather than serious.
He explained that the original concept arose from a conversation with covered artist Dave Martin in September of 1981 about their mutual administration for the Shea and Wilson novels.
Mr. Jackson explained that he had carried out extensive research into cults and conspiracy theories and observed, quote, it's possible to get deadly serious about the idea of conspiracies and assassinations.
I didn't want that.
Among all of the material that I read, the articles with the really wacky theories, even if they were presented totally seriously, were the most fun to read.
Logically, then, a wacky game would be more fun to play.
I could see that.
It's like writing Idiocracy and then being surprised that it happens.
I was satirizing this.
It was a joke.
I didn't realize people would take it and be like, oh yeah?
Well, we'll be that stupid.
No shit.
They just took the script from that movie and were like, how can we best mimic this?
So he was effectively like, I took all the silliest, most ridiculous conspiracy theories, but then it turned out all those people were right, so whoops.
He goes on, as much as possible, I wanted to retain the flavor of the conspiracy material that I'd been reading.
That's why groups like the South American Nazis, the cattle mutilators, the floridators, the communists, The oil companies and the United Nations are in there.
End quote.
Did you ever imagine when the whole fluoridation thing came about that there would actually be PR for fluoridation?
And not like professional PR.
I mean like amateur PR.
Like people freaking out and doing PR for fluoridation.
What will happen when they get rid of this stuff?
Oh my god.
We're going to be so unhealthy.
We're going to be so healthy.
I don't know how the medical community is going to survive.
How are they going to make it if everybody's not all sick?
That's what it really felt like.
Oh my god, we're going to take crap out of foods?
That's horrible.
There's so many profits that are going to be lost.
It was the most insincere thing.
The sad thing is the professional class, the people writing about it.
Making the alarmism crap.
You know, they're getting paid to do it, but the people actually who genuinely care and believe in this stuff, they're all doing it for free.
All doing it for absolutely free.
And I just wanted to point out this website, because we're talking about fluoride and shit like that right now.
There's this website.
I guarantee you, no matter what your location is, no matter what your zip code or wherever you live, you can enter it into this database and you can see what is in your water per their current testing.
That they put into their database.
This goes for all of your local water sources and city sources everywhere.
You just put your zip code in here.
I guarantee you, no matter where you are, there are multiple chemicals in your water that are far above the FDA approved limits.
I guarantee you that.
And the website is www.ewg.org slash tap water.
Go there, put your zip code in, and check.
I guarantee you.
Guarantee you.
And the worst part is you've got to keep in mind that their acceptable limits are bunk.
Right. So it's already exceeding those.
So that's how little they care for you.
Not only are their acceptable limits already poisoning you, but they don't actually do anything if you go past them.
If somebody pointed these things out, what would they get?
They'd get a freaking letter.
They'd get a letter and...
Informing them that they might get a fine if they don't make steps to mitigate the problem, blah, blah, blah.
Effectively, if they don't create even more opportunities for income and bureaucracy, then we're going to fine you.
But if you go ahead and start a process to fixing it that doesn't really intend to fix a damn thing, we'll never fine you.
And I mean, you have to keep in mind that if it wasn't for watchdogs groups that are crowdfunded and whatnot, we would know exactly none of this stuff from the industry.
They're not going to come out and tell us.
And your local waters people...
This stuff wouldn't even come out if...
Yeah, the only reason it came out so much before is because we used to have independent journalists with CONUS.
And your local water treatment people, they're not going to tell you.
Oh, yeah.
We're way above the limits here.
Yeah. They keep it hush, hush.
Yeah, nowadays your average commentator's got more balls for saying what's really going on than the actual person who's supposed to report the news and be the primary source.
It's ridiculous.
You know who they go after, dude?
They go after, so there was this dude who recently got busted.
He worked at a treatment facility.
He was secretly not putting fluoride in the water system.
He was decreasing the levels of it for like years.
The fucking people caught him doing this, and they fucking arrested his ass.
He got plastered all over the fucking media.
And no, these are the real criminals.
They don't care about them.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, whether or not you believe the whole story of the Nazis put it in the prison camps or whatever, the key point is that this has always been industrial waste.
Always, yeah.
Conveniently turned to profit.
Turning industrial waste into a...
Therapeutic chemical.
Yep. They got to find a way to make it profitable.
So they're like, well, how can we slowly put this in water?
Everyone can drink it.
It's fluoride.
It's good for you.
It's good for you.
I mean, that's part of what's kind of fueling the distrust is as everybody gets significantly less healthy, they start asking like...
Shouldn't our advances have gotten us somewhere?
Who would fucking think so, dude?
Who would fucking think so?
How is our life expectancy going down, even as the availability of food and healthcare is going up?
Yeah, and cancer is basically like you are expected to develop some sort of cancer in your lifetime now.
It's fucking so disgusting.
And then the excuse is that it's the person who makes this quarter of what you do, and it's their fault, not the people who...
Own 50% of all wealth.
Unfortunate stuff.
It's the guy who's just barely under middle class and barely making it.
It's his fault.
Yeah, attack the middle class people.
The lower middle class too.
Well yeah, it used to be just the middle class but then they got too hungry and had to start going after the lower middle class to this point where it's like you gotta be pretty darn poor and even as you're collecting benefits you're still paying into the system because...
What the hell?
Let's screw everybody.
Oh yeah, and they're actively trying to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security.
They're like bills being introduced for this shit.
That's fucking disgusting, bro.
They're like, hey, Jimmy Dore can't push for Medicare for all if Medicare doesn't exist.
And what's left of this little Biden administration?
Like, they are just escalating shit left and right to just set up an environment for Trump to come in and be like, yay.
I mean, that's not to say that he's already aware of what's happening.
He's obviously part of some of this.
Has he addressed these drones?
The primary purpose of all these pardons is probably keeping people safe once he's gone.
Yeah. Like, I was looking at the number of pardons each president made, and that 8,000 number was pretty freaking staggering.
Biden so far?
Yeah, that's a lot of people to just unilaterally say, you did the thing, we caught you, we convicted you, you can leave now.
And bear in mind, a lot of these people are not like money launderers or thieves or the non-violent weed offenders that were supposedly going to be pardoned for federal crimes.
I always ask the question, did he ever actually go do that?
Like, yeah, it's a vanishingly small number of people that that would affect because most people would be a state crime and he wouldn't be able to do nothing anyways.
So it was kind of an empty promise.
But the few that actually did get caught up federally, did he actually go let them go?
Or was that just another thing that he said he'd do and be fake?
I don't know.
I feel like nobody ever looked into it.
It was just another...
That was years ago.
It's disappeared into the ether at this point.
I assume a lot of them are just fake.
Throw some names out there.
Let them out.
Just say that we did it.
Like the student loan forgiveness.
At least they made a really big show of trying.
To make it work, even if they kind of knew it was never going to.
And it was mostly about just getting the money pushed out the door, so then they'd be like, even if it's reversed, it doesn't matter.
Yikes, it's ugly, man.
It's been found that there are body part farms in Ukraine.
They're getting exposed, and Biden continues to send billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Why? It's not because of war.
He's funding these body part hospitals.
Yeah, see, again, an event that is very much not in any way coincidental.
Exactly. Like, that is definitely not a coincidence.
That's a coincidence that ain't coincidental.
Not a coincidence.
Alright, well, let's leave it here.
Let's get out of here.
We got things going on.
Alright, yeah, I gotta get...
I gotta run.
I already got nagged once by...
Yeah, you got your bar mitzvah to attend.
By the, you know, unofficial time management service.
Unofficial time police.
Yep. All right, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for listening in.
Hopefully you enjoyed the show.
Bunch of drones, you know, don't fall for the alien agenda.
I mean, if it's real, it's the government doing it right now.
That's for a fact.
I'm pretty darn sure it is the government, and we should always distrust them.
Always distrust the government.
If it's not them, we still shouldn't trust them.
Never trust them.
Because they're still lying about something.
