Aaron Franz joined me this month for the last episode of 2019. This is a shorter show but we cover a lot of ground. Aaron and I discussed our thoughts and opinions on 2019. Aaron also plugged Uncle’s annual New Years Revolution live show. We touched on topics as varied as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and the anime classic Akira, Elon Musk’s diabolical Cyber Truck, Amazon’s plan for world domination, and what’s in store for the futuristic decade of 2020.
And in spite of my best efforts I stuck with tradition and released this well after we recorded it. Have a happy and safe New Years!
Pearse Redmond returns to the show to talk about Jeffrey Epstein and his financing of transhumanist projects over the years. His money has long been welcomed by a wide range of scientific researchers, but one has to wonder about the full extent of such business relationships.
Friend of the show JP Sottile joins me in the first hour for an in-depth discussion about the recently passed tax reform bill in the House. We talk about what this reform package is promising and what the possible outcomes may actually be. JP discusses how this will ultimately benefit the richest of the rich in America, while most likely punishing the rest of the nation. We analysis the GOP’s strategy with pushing this wildly unpopular bill. JP and I discuss the idea that this may be part of a longer term strategy of ousting Trump from power. JP touches on Bannon’s attempts to tax the rich more and how this was rebuffed by the Republican establishment. Later we talk about how this may result in the GOP being out of power for some time. We then move onto a discussion of Bitcoin and how this has become the story that everyone is talking about. JP and I link this in with the tax reform bill and the financialization of the world economy. We talk about the idea of Bitcoin being a bubble and the logical result of our highly financialized world. JP and I also touch on the creepy transhumanist aspects of Bitcoin. We talk about the transhumanists behind Bitcoin, and how the embrace of it maybe a prelude to more transhumanists transitions. We end by briefly talking about Trump’s bizarre water drinking habits, and the rumor this is related to possible drug use.
I start off the second hour by talking about my show being reported in major news outlets including the Palm Beach Post and Daily Mail. I discuss how the mainstream media reported on my interview with F Lee Bailey and Pat McKenna, and some of the positives and negatives. Later good friend Aaron Franz joins us to discuss some of the strange occult aspects of Christmas. Aaron talks about the winter solstice’s connection to Jesus and the story of Christmas. Aaron and I also touches on the occult nature of buying a Christmas tree itself. We talk about strange ancient Greek castration practices under evergreen trees. We talk about the life and death ritual of buying a Christmas tree. We then move onto the most recent news stories about AI, focusing mostly on Sophia, Ben Goertzel, and SingularityNET. Aaron talks about Goertzel’s role within SingularityNET and his promotion of the BlockChain. We also talk about the strange rise in acceptance of sex robots and how this could be a pernicious development for society as a whole.
Aaron Franz joins us for a special paranormal/occult Halloween special. We start off by discussing our opinions on Halloween as it exists today. We then move onto the ancient Druid and pagan roots of the holiday and the deeper esoteric meaning behind it. Aaron and I discuss how this pagan festival was absorbed into the Christian All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day. We look at how Halloween has become a commercialized holiday predicated on buying candy and other useless products. Aaron and I then move onto how Halloween, holidays, and religion have been changing with the current times. We pay particular attention to the rise of transhumanism and how this may or may not affect religion. Aaron and I discuss the idea of the Catholic Church embracing transhumanism and the AI godhead. We also talk about Saudi Arabia granting “citizenship” to the AI machine Sophia, and Anthony Levandowski’s AI church.
In the second hour Aaron and I dive right into the paranormal and discuss our views on UFO’s and aliens. We touch on why these topics are taboo to many in the conspiracy culture, and the importance of studying and understanding this movement. Aaron and I then move onto ghosts and the spirit world. Aaron also talks about All Souls College in Oxford and its bizarre background and connection to groups such as the Round Table Movement. We finish off by discussing the life and legacy of Manly P Hall. Aaron and I talk about the possibility of Hall being murdered by his caretaker, and the legal battle that ensued afterwards. We also talk about Hall and his wife living in the Ennis House in LA. We finish off by talking about the need for people to embrace the teachings of Manly P Hall, especially in this crazy consumerist world we live in.
My guest with week was the one and only Chuck Ochelli of The Ochelli Effect. Chuck and I had a wide ranging discussion about the current state of affairs here at home and around the world. We began by touching on the recent fall out from the Trump tapes and how this is being interpreted by the public. Chuck and I mention that the lawsuit against Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein for raping a 13 year old is no where to be seen. Chuck and I talk about the hypocrisy from both sides when it comes to talking about sexual violence. We also talk about how the neo-cons will be the big winners this election. Later we discuss how the rise of artificial intelligence and how this is being normalized in society and culture. Chuck and I talk about the recent statements from Bill Gates warning about the dangers of AI. In the second hour we expand on the AI discussion and move into the realm of surveillance. Chuck and I also touch on the recent coverage of Wikileaks and Julian Assange. We end by offering up some of our own solutions for the problems we face.
