Episode 124: Being There & American Plutocracy

Episode 124: Being There & American Plutocracy

Being There is a 1979 political satire/comedy based on the 1970 novel of the same name by Jerzy Kosiński.  ⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead! ➡️ Chance's obsession with the TV looks an awful lot like the modern obsession with apps and social media. ➡️ Ben & Eve Rand see an intelligent, temporarily embarrassed millionaire on hard times because that's what they want to see. ➡️ Plutocracy protects its own. Outsiders are not welcome. It's like George Carlin's comment about one big club that you and I are not a part of. ➡️ tHe OrAnGe MaN iS a MavEriCk! nO oNe CaN PreDicT HiM! Really? 😒 If he didn't serve the needs of the plutocrats, he wouldn't be there.  Links: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/ [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/] https://consaracytheories.com/f/of-course-theyre-not-concerned [https://consaracytheories.com/f/of-course-theyre-not-concerned] **** My award-winning biography of Dag is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT [https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT] My forthcoming project, Simply Dag, will be available in hardback, paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats on July 29th!

Episode 123: I went down the Dan & Betty Broderick rabbit hole

What actually happened with Dan & Betty Broderick? Was anyone the obvious villain? Did any of the TV shows or movies tell the real story? 🤔 2:00 to 24:55: Current events. Peter Thiel is moving to Argentina. Yeah... Argentina. Exxon's CEO predicts high oil prices and scarcity. More people left of center are prepping.  25:00 to 2:23:00: The Dan, Betty, and Linda rabbit hole.  Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmbpJI-kcYA [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmbpJI-kcYA] https://okiebookcast.buzzsprout.com/1845017/episodes/19269691-sharing-the-legacy-of-a-giant-author-sara-causey [https://okiebookcast.buzzsprout.com/1845017/episodes/19269691-sharing-the-legacy-of-a-giant-author-sara-causey] https://www.buzzsprout.com/2289560/episodes/18877590 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2289560/episodes/18877590] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel] https://www.buzzsprout.com/2289560/episodes/18877590 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2289560/episodes/18877590] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin] https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-argentina-billionaire-moving-abroad-2026-5 [https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-argentina-billionaire-moving-abroad-2026-5] https://unherd.com/newsroom/peter-thiel-wont-find-a-safe-haven-in-argentina/?edition=us [https://unherd.com/newsroom/peter-thiel-wont-find-a-safe-haven-in-argentina/?edition=us] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Per%C3%B3n [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Per%C3%B3n] https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/exxon-chief-warns-skyrocketing-energy-prices-shareholders-approved-plan-exit-blue-state [https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/exxon-chief-warns-skyrocketing-energy-prices-shareholders-approved-plan-exit-blue-state] https://www.amazon.com/-/he/Irregular-Army-Recruited-Neo-Nazis-Criminals/dp/1844678806 [https://www.amazon.com/-/he/Irregular-Army-Recruited-Neo-Nazis-Criminals/dp/1844678806] https://www.reddit.com/r/Divorce/comments/nr5kk7/feeling_sorry_for_betty_broderick_after_watching/ [https://www.reddit.com/r/Divorce/comments/nr5kk7/feeling_sorry_for_betty_broderick_after_watching/] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Broderick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Broderick] https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Broderick-Telling-myself/dp/1511518626 [https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Broderick-Telling-myself/dp/1511518626] **** My award-winning biography of Dag is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT [https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT] My forthcoming project, Simply Dag, will be available in hardback, paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats on July 29th!

Episode 122: JFK & The Peace Speech

As we approach JFK's birthday, it's important to think about his life and legacy. Although some believe the Peace Speech signed JFK's death warrant, he was so much more than November 22.  ➡️ Certain powers do not want a strategy of peace. ➡️ Is there a death cult? Are there people in high places who actively want genocide and mass extinction events? ➡️ Did the "Peace Speech" sign JFK's death warrant? If so, what was so radical about it?

Episode 121: "The Devil on Trial" - the Warrens, Satanic Panic, and the ultimate bad guy

In The Devil on Trial, David Glatzel speaks about his "possession" in the early 1980s. I expected him to say, "It was all a put-on" or "I was forced to do this."  What he says is something entirely different.  ⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead! ➡️ Were Ed & Lorraine Warren leading the situation on? ➡️ Was Arne really possessed and it was Satan who killed Alan Bono? ➡️ Were David and his brothers systematically drugged?

Episode 120: M3gan & AI raising kids - is this the future?

Through the lens of dark comedy/horror-satire, M3gan is giving you predictive programming. It's telling you that, soon enough, AI bots will take over childrearing duties. Along with mass surveillance of said kids. I feel like Gracchus in Gladiator: "He'll bring them death, and they will love him for it." ⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead. Also: what's the deal with the hantavirus mess? Are we headed for 'Rona Redux?
