QAA was known as the QAnon Anonymous podcast.
Welcome to the QAA Podcast, Premium Episode 251, Agent Buried Alive.
As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rakitansky, Brad Abrahams, and Travis View.
Last week, as I was minding my own business, doing my very best to distance myself from the cascading landslide of election cycle news, I was approached by a suspicious-looking man on Signal.
He had long hair and a nice full beard.
He slid me a couple of wild-looking links.
Hey Jake, I have an episode pitched for you if you're interested.
It's about the story of James Casbolt, a man who claimed that he was blowing the lid off of a secret program called Project Mannequin before he was eventually jailed for blackmailing a billionaire heiress.
This had all the hallmarks of a Rakitansky, and potentially Abraham, special.
Black site projects, whistleblowers, and blackmail.
There was even a 2008 book Casbolt had written, MI6 Buried Alive, or Agent Buried Alive.
I've seen it.
I've seen him reference it in both ways.
It was only 60 pages long.
It appeared as if the suspicious man's tip was going to pay off big time.
That is, until I started reading the book.
Imagine 60 pages of incoherent rambling, three-letter agencies, long tangents, and references to nearly every conspiracy theory from extraterrestrial hybrids to Draco reptilians to human clones.
Whoever wrote these pages was deep into the David Icke side of alien lore.
And in addition to that, Casbolt was claiming to expose a new program, one that kidnapped children, ferried them into tunnels, and fed them to wolves.
Oh, that's a new one.
Oh, yeah.
Feeding to wolves.
Yeah, there's some new stuff in here, which is why I had to get you, Brad.
By the way, Brad is going in completely blind, folks.
He has no idea what we're going to be discussing, so you will be listening to him become pilled in real time.
Travis, probably not so much.
I can't help myself.
So how the hell was this guy able to get a girlfriend in the first place, let alone marry a billionaire heiress?
I mean, literally every single red flag that you can imagine.
Well, let's find out.
In December of 2014, 37-year-old James Casbolt of St.
Ives appeared at Traroe Crown Court in Cornwall, England to face charges of blackmail, targeted harassment, and stalking three different women, one of whom was ex-wife Hayley Meyer.
Now, if that last name sounds familiar, it is because Haley's father Hank is the owner of Meijer, a massive US hypermarket chain with over 200 stores across the country.
The family is worth billions of dollars.
I think they were ranked by Forbes, like, the 125th, like, highest-ranking billionaire family in the world.
Something like that.
They're way up there.
Crazy.
I've never seen one of these chains before.
They must be in just certain areas of the states.
Yeah.
Yeah, they must be.
I mean, 200 stores, 50 states.
I mean, there's maybe four in each state.
I mean, if we're splitting it up evenly.
But it's different.
They own pharmacies.
They own grocery markets.
It's like they own a bunch of different stuff.
Oh, there's none in Texas, that's why.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah.
So, according to Haley, she and James met online on Facebook sometime in 2009.
In court testimony, friends and family claimed that Haley found James quite charming, despite the fact he didn't try to hide his deep belief in conspiracy theories.
At the time, Haley told her friends that she believed that Casbolt was a kindred spirit, and even subscribed to many of the same conspiracy theories that James did.
Now, it's unclear whether it was James himself who pilled Hayley or if she was already dabbling in conspiracy culture when they met online.
According to her family, Hayley was a pretty successful singer-songwriter and producer, and based on her Instagram page that I scrolled down as far as I could, she wasn't afraid to open up about spirituality and that sort of thing, leaning maybe a little bit into the woo, so it could be that she was already kind of You know, presupposed maybe to accepting some of his wilder ideas.
Now, despite massive objections from Hayley's father, Hank, which very understandable, Hayley hopped on a plane and flew to Cornwall in the UK to meet James.
The pair fell in love and for a while they were living in James's mother's flat in St.
Ives.
But then they moved to Michigan together and got married two years later in 2011.
And I've included a picture for you guys.
They look, actually, like they kind of aesthetically make sense as a couple.
They're like, he's not a bad looking guy.
He's got close cropped hair.
He, you know, attractive for a British man.
Yeah, he's one of the better looking pilled guys we've featured on the show, I think.
Yeah, I mean, this is this is kind of surprising.
He's tall.
He's like he's socially savvy enough to marry into a billionaire family.
He's well dressed.
And it's like he's not someone you initially would think would dull a sort of descend into secret space program conspiracy theories.
And she looks like Paris Hilton.
Yeah, like, this guy had it made.
I mean, if you are a, like, deep underground bunker type guy, and you're going to these kind of wealthy socialite parties, you have this beautiful, beautiful wife who is, you know, talented singer and music producer, that's kind of the best that a deep underground bunker guy can do in life.
I, you know, having been, having been a former deep underground bunker guy myself, you know, in earlier years, I mean, this is pretty good.
So apparently James joined the United States Army after they moved back to the States and the family relocated to Texas.
Now I looked up whether a UK citizen can join the US military because it was widely reported that you know that their their sort of marriage troubles began while he was stationed in Texas and it seems that You can, but you have to pass a number of tests and be thoroughly background checked for security clearances because you're, you know, people are afraid that you're a foreign agent, you know, coming into the military.
I imagine they're pretty cagey about this.
So, considering that James had told a number of people that he had previously worked for MI6 and that his father had been a secret agent, you know, and that he had been involved in multiple secret programs, the idea that the Army admitted this British man from St.
Ives made some of his stories seem credible, I would imagine.
Hmm.
But before we get to the meat of James' legal troubles, I want to go back and give the listeners an idea of the kind of beliefs that James held.
He was not your run-of-the-mill QAnon conspiracy theorist.
This man is deeply My name is James Michael Kasbold.
on just about every secret government program conspiracy theory,
as well as the Anunnaki and the quote-unquote "alien agenda."
His biography starts like this.
My name is James Michael Kasbold.
The following is my life and testimony.
I was born in London in 1976.
I was chosen for an intelligence agency mind control and genetic enhancement program before my birth and was born into the program known as Project Mannequin.
This project is one of the most secret and classified projects in this country and this is the first ever book written about it.
Given how wordy the opening paragraph is, I'm sure you both can imagine what an absolute slog 60 pages of this was going to be.
Yeah, that was hard to read.
It was.
I thought Travis was giving me a layup, you know?
He was like, 60 page book, you know, blackmails and Eris, you know, claims to be part of the, you know, super soldier program.
I was like, this is a slam dunk, easy pickings.
And then there's no kind of real plot or timeline really to the book.
He just kind of starts shoveling conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory at you till your, my brain was just like leaking out of my ears.
It was.
You know, I have to say, this is, I think, a common thing with conspiracist texts.
It's like trying to figure out what the hell they're talking about in the confused organization of their thoughts and the very bad sentence structure.
But I wonder if you do have conspiracy brain, like, does this read as coherent, cogent, legible?
Very curious.
Is it a breeze to get through?
I tried to kind of put myself back into that You know, later 2000s kind of, you know, before Obama and post 9-11 when my conspiracy brain was just ripe for the plucking, I tried to view the text from that
version of myself and I still found it pretty hard to get through. There's some
interesting stuff though which I'm going to be sharing. I have passages from the
book, I have quotes from his interview and and we're gonna be you know reading
some of the juicier and and more interesting stuff for you guys today.
Thank God.
