"I Found Hitler’s Secret UFO Program!” -Jason Jorjani

29:42It's that monumental history is nourished from out of the subconscious. And not everything in the past of a people has to be or should be rationally dissected and understood. that we need to maintain a kind of subconscious connection to the mythic substratum of our heritage as a wellspring for continued creativity, both in the arts and the sciences. Yeah, I love that. He's so inspiring when you read him. I like, you know, he seems very irrational and kind of iconoclastic and maybe a little crazy, you know, in his personal life and stuff. And Nietzsche was almost the first incel or something. But he was also just so inspiring.

30:29You read his work and it's full of vitality and life. So it felt like this weird juxtaposition. You had his kind of personal life, which he was kind of withering away. And then you have the writing, which was so vital. I love him. I feel a very deep affinity to Nietzsche. I'd say Plato, Nietzsche, and Heidegger are probably the three philosophers who most deeply impacted my own thinking. Well, you mentioned the RAND Corporation. We're in Santa Monica right now near the RAND Corporation. I believe RAND stands for R &D, Research and Development. It was formed in, I believe, the mid to late 50s, one of these sort of federally funded research and development centers that was meant to look into all sorts of issues of national security.

31:12It's kind of a, you know, it's as when we talk about the proverbial deep state, you think of the Rand Corporation and a man who was offered to be president of the Rand Corporation. Some people might not know this is a past interviewee of mine, a guy named Harold Malmgren, who was a senior presidential advisor for JFK, LBJ, Nixon and Ford, and said all sorts of really bombshell stuff when it came to UFOs, including he held pieces of a UFO at Sandia Complex in New Mexico. It was given to him by Lawrence Preston Geist, who's Jeff Bezos' maternal grandfather, which is fascinating. And he talked about the Magenta crash, Malmgren did, and his mentor, Richard Bissell, who founded Area 51, briefing him on otherworldly technologies.

32:00Yeah, what else did Richard Bissell tell you? You said this didn't start last week. This has been going on. He mentioned 1933, Magenta. He did. Yes. Richard Bissell mentioned the 1933 Magenta crash. Yes. That's amazing. So this provided a lot of backup for David Grush's, you know, famous UFO whistleblower who's responsible for a lot of modern disclosure today. His testimony around this Magenta crash where he came out, he said that there are covert American UFO reverse engineering programs. We have this whole history on this stuff. But he also said he talked about one specific crash and it wasn't Roswell.

32:41It was this 1933 Lombardy, you know, northern Italy crash, specifically in Magenta, Italy. 1933 was the first recovery in Europe, in Magenta, Italy. Italian government moved it to a secure air base in Italy for the rest of kind of the fascist regime until 1944, 1945. And, you know, the Pope Pius XII back-channeled that. So the Vatican was involved. Yeah, and told the Americans what the Italians had, and we ended up scooping it. And you have some interesting connections that you've made between that and Nazi prowess in engineering at the time. As you know, I'm always on the hunt for things that help me stay sharp, focused and full of energy while I'm diving into life's mysteries and making this show happen.

33:28And I've got to say, Mudwater has completely transformed my mornings. Back in the day, I used to struggle with that post-coffee crash. And let's not even get into the caffeine jitters. Mudwater gave me the smooth, steady energy I was missing. It's packed with functional mushrooms like lion's mane, chaga, and reishi, plus turmeric and cacao all working together to keep me focused, calm, and grounded. Honestly, it's like coffee went on a yoga retreat and came back zen. What I love most is that it's not just about replacing coffee. It's a whole new ritual. It's a simple, nourishing way to start the day, and I actually look forward to it every morning.

34:54Keep your energy natural and refreshing all year long with mud water because life's too short for anything less than clean, delicious energy. And so what do you have to say about all that? Yeah. So as far as I understand it, the Vatican was informed of it. The Vatican was informed of it and has a dossier on it. And the Vatican was involved in the sort of study of this object in a joint working group that involved both SS scientists and Italian scientists in a third party country. So when I wrote my book, Closer Encounter. Did he say third party country? No, but I know it's a third party country.

35:39Interesting. Because that's where the so-called Bell Project winds up being developed, namely just outside Prague in former Czechoslovakia, OK, in the Czech Republic. And so when I was doing my research for Closer Encounters, we did not yet have the testimony from Rush about Magenta. I wrote that book in 2021. It was published in 2021. So I studied the Nazi advanced propulsion research that was going on, again, at a facility called the Skoda Works just outside Prague, under the direction of SS General Hans Kambler. after Grush made this testimony about magenta I realized why they put it there because if the Italians had found this object and at least from one angle this was a reverse engineering project then it makes sense to have chosen a country that was neither Italy nor Germany the Italians needed the German technical expertise they were not going to figure out what the hell this thing was by themselves even though they'd had some very competent scientists but still they knew that they had to call the germans in and yet the germans probably wanted to you know uh wanted to respect the italians by putting this project in a third country that was neither germany nor italy right so it's sort of a compromise access compromise to put it in um czechstvalkia now Now, it's an interesting question.

37:16How much of what they were doing there was an attempt to reverse engineer whatever crashed it in Magenta? And how much of it was a result of Germans grappling with some real nuts and bolts practical engineering problems? So let me give you an example. the saucer airframe very naturally evolved from german aeronautical engineering they were taking very seriously in the 1930s the problem of um aerodynamics and the boundary layer that where a pocket of air resistance forms around the edges of an aircraft And it causes drag and impedes maneuverability. So they came up with the idea of creating a saucer-shaped craft that would have suction vents all around it.

38:11And these suction vents would basically suck in the boundary layer and then redirect the air pocket into the propulsion system as part of the propulsion system. And another interesting thing that they developed in connection with this problem of suctioning of the boundary layer and basically making a much more aerodynamic aircraft was they developed a kind of perforated metal, which later was discovered at Roswell. Really? According to Corso. And it was a kind of metal where you could put your hand on the other side of it and blow through the metal and feel your breath on your hand. A finely perforated metal.

39:00Do you know the name of this metal? I think in German it was called Luftschwamm. Luftschwamm. Okay, and then Corso? Flying foam. And how do we know? So then for context, 1947, famous proverbial, you know, archetypal UFO crash occurs in Roswell, which is the home of the 509th Atomic Bomber Squadron led by Curtis LeMay. Sort of makes, you know, made the Roswell Daily Record, got popularized actually way later in 1979. But you're saying that the metal found there matches what was discovered in Nazi Germany? Some of it. Some of it. Now, here's the thing about Roswell, and we'll come back to this. Is this what Jesse Marcel handled, that metal?

39:41I don't know. Okay. I don't know. The memory metal? Yeah. Well, certainly memory metal was found there. Yes. Whether these are the same thing and whether the memory metal was this perforated metal, I don't know. But supposedly that was also found there. Does Corso say that the perforated metal that was found at Roswell matches Nazi? Joseph Farrell did a study of Corso's claims in the day after Roswell in a book which I believe is called Saucer, Swastikas, and Psyops. And he went in detail into various cutting-edge German technological innovations of the 1940s, particularly military engineering.

40:23And he makes a number of really significant points in this regard. Among the things found at Roswell, according to Corso, was Kevlar, Velcro, night vision, and fiber optics. And lasers, I believe. And lasers. I mean, okay, I guess space aliens could be using Kevlar. Maybe they could be using Velcro, too. but uh farrell researched this and he provides a documentation that shows that the germans had invented every single one of these in the 1940s they were not in common use they were not even accessible to the majority of the german military but they were being tested uh you know as sort of cutting edge uh weapons technology especially like in the north african desert in 1943 44 yeah i I believe there's the first patent for a transistor is in Munich or something in the 30s.

41:19So, yeah, that's interesting. Well, when we went in there, you know, to Nazi Germany, we found that the German subsidiary of IBM, a company called Dehemag, was way ahead, not only of like all the other American transistor manufacturers, but ahead of the American IBM. So the German subsidiary was like developing transistors that were much smaller, like an order of magnitude smaller than what we had in the United States. But this brings up two really important questions. One is what caused this just general technological acceleration in Nazi Germany in the, you know, 20s, 30s and 40s. I mean, really 30s and 40s.

41:57If you think about it, Hitler took power in 1933, which was, you know, you have like 10 years to build up and you get all sorts of, I mean, look at V2 rockets are like 20, 30 years ahead of anything in the West. you know all the Wunderwaffe you know their fighter jets were the skunk works was kind of a response to the fact that their fighter jets were running circles around ours so what accounts for that a and then b if they are so advanced technologically why did the united states ultimately you know prevail right and beat them right well that's the subject that i you know i I hope we can get into in some level of detail.

42:39I wonder if I should flesh out a couple more things about the engineering at the Scotoworks before we then come back to this and really dive into it head on. So they were developing these saucer airframes with suction vents and so on and so forth. But these were rocket powered. They had rotating rockets underneath the saucer shaped craft. Rotating rocket? Yeah, like a series of jets put in a fan formation to basically maneuver these saucer-shaped craft in various directions. So it was a jet aircraft, in other words. It was a saucer-shaped, rocket-powered aircraft. Then, parallel to this saucer airframe project, there was another project, which when I did my research in Closer Encounters, working from Joseph Farrell and Nick Cook's book, The Hunt for Zero Point, Nick Cook's research, and then also his citations of Igor Witkowski's research, Polish researcher who actually went to this site and did some field work there.

43:46I assumed that this project, based on those researchers, I assumed that this project began like in the early 1940s. I've since been informed by somebody who had relatively direct knowledge, somebody in Serbia, that it went back to 1937. Who is this person? I don't want to mention the person's name, but a very old person who was involved with some of these individuals back in the day in Central and Eastern Europe. And so from what I hear from him, it started in 1937. And this was a project to basically develop, originally their aim was to develop a new power source a power plant involving the electromagnetic rotation of mercury and thorium yeah so i think it's thorium 232 if i remember correctly mixed with a certain isotope of mercury and the reason for mixing it with mercury is that mercury is electromagnetically reactive.

44:55So if you want to rotate the thorium using electromagnets, mixing the thorium with mercury allows you to rotate the thorium very effectively, create thorium torsion. And this device would be continuously powered by alternating current and intermittently shocked with very high voltage direct current. And basically what it did was it would create a kind of plasma fusion from out of which tremendous energy flowed. So it was a over unity device where you would be putting a certain amount of energy into it, both AC and DC. But then the nuclear reaction of the thorium due to electromagnetic torsion would produce more energy than was being put into the device.

45:48is he high conviction that that's i mean so you're saying this sort of they had like a zero point energy device yes yes because that's that's the idea that's what wikowski um nick cook and joseph farrell are all saying looking at the bell project well nick cook it so yeah a lot of his stuff came from wikowski and it's amazing i mean he takes the little boat ride and they go underground and you can see the rig where de Glocka was so it's definitely a real project and Hans Kammler was a you know very real guy he had you know control of uh of Skoda Works which was kind of the really black world you know exciting projects going on as opposed to kind of the white world you know Heisenberg nuclear project uh but there are all sorts of rumors about de Glocka I mean some people say it was like a time machine when he talked to Nick Cook he's he gets like a a little and comfortable as my read, almost as if he knows something that he can't really talk about or something.

46:48But he'll say, I think it was a black world nuclear project. Over time, I've come to conclude that it was probably one of several sites that the Germans, the SS in particular, were using to look into nuclear weapons, nuclear technology. Which goes towards maybe what you're saying. I think both of those things are true. I think both of those things are true. and we can unpack both of them. Okay. So first let's start from the time angle, right? You know how we're always diving into the edge of science and consciousness on this show. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about aging, not just in terms of years, but in how it actually feels in the body.

47:27Slow recovery, lower energy, that middle-aged fog that sneaks up on you. I feel like I can barely go out and drink alcohol anymore. That's why I started using something called qualia senolytic, and it's been a major shift for me. Let me explain. As we age, our bodies accumulate what scientists call senescent cells, also known as zombie cells. These are worn out cells that stop dividing but don't die. They hang around in your body, draining your energy, clogging up your recovery, and generally making you feel older than you are. Qualia senolytic is a first-of-its-kind supplement formulated with nine plant-based compounds designed to help your body naturally eliminate these zombie cells.

48:09It's not something you take every day, just two days a month, but it supports your body in aging better at the cellular level. Since I've started taking it, I've felt sharper, lighter, and like my body's resilience has come back online. It's vegan, non-GMO, and grounded in serious research.

48:55So I think, I assume that, or let's say I suspect, that they were looking for an incredible power plant originally. But the reason that a rig exists is because they realized that this thing levitates when you turn it on. And they had to chain it down. And so this, whatever kind of energy was being generated, also resulted in counter-barry. It was an anti-garry. In other words, it developed a local gravitational field around itself. Anti-gravity. But the other more interesting thing is that they would put plants around this thing and they would turn to mulch. They were like cellularly disrupted.

49:44They were disrupted on a cellular level and they would basically disintegrate. And supposedly the entire first team of scientists that worked around this thing died very quickly and they had to replace them all. And we do know from Witkowski for a fact that the lead scientists was a guy. It was a guy named Ernest Growitz, who I believe was an SS medical officer who worked directly under Joseph Mengele. So if you were putting sort of biological specimens, you know, in this sort of torsion field, you know, he would be relevant. And then a guy named Walter Gerlach, who worked at a local university and was extremely interested in gravity.

50:19So, yeah, sort of to your point. Absolutely. And Gerlach was involved in like also magnetic engineering and stuff like that. but electromagnetic engineering and stuff like that. And the people who, I mean, the first group of them eventually died, experienced extreme temporal disorientation. So this is what the reports are from Witkowski and Farrell, that they experienced time flowing at a different rate than people outside the laboratory, and that it became extremely disorienting and eventually cognitively debilitating to them. Yeah. So time machine, well, you know, maybe not at that stage, but some kind of a time disruptor.

51:07Yeah. That it is interfering with the fabric of space time. And for people who think we're crazy, general relativity even would allow for that on a go forward sense. Because if you, you know, create a high density or, you know, you create a high energy environment, There are two ways to basically warp space time. It's, you know, mass and energy. And with both, you would encounter sort of time displacement. And so with this, you know, black hole where you have like, you know, you're going to slow time the closer you get to it. So high voltage experimentation and things of that nature or, you know, nuclear experiment, you might, you know, incur some sort of time displacement as well.

51:45Absolutely. And say you were to like do that in a more. And wasn't Townsend Brown obsessed with like time travel? He's obsessed with time travel. Like Agnew Bonson, who funded him, was famous for saying that, you know, in high megabolt range, you know, electricity experiments, very anomalous things would occur, phenomena would occur. And Townsend Brown definitely thought that his work would lead you to a working model of time travel. And to get even more specific with how that might work in the context of Deglovka is the rumor was that there was a ceramic chamber internally to protect whatever biological organism was being sort of tested in this environment.

52:26And by the way, this is a Nazi regime that definitely experimented on human beings. Twin studies with Joseph Mengele, experimental cell block nine where they try to cryonically freeze people. Like border science was very in vogue. So you'd put a person in this ceramic chamber. You create a torsion field around it. And basically you'd slow time on the inside to, you know, say one one thousandths of a second. And, you know, if a person spent a year inside this chamber, you'd walk out and you'd be a thousand years in the future. And that doesn't break Hawking's chronological conjecture. It works with general relativity.

53:01It makes theoretical sense. There are all these engineering issues with it, presumably, but what you're saying isn't totally crazy for the audience. And unfortunately, I'm sure that they brought concentration camp inmates and put them in there. I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure they did that. So, okay. So you have this bell. Mm-hmm. And then you, and by the way, an alternate name for the bell was die Beinenstock, the beehive, which is interesting because they say, the reason they called it that is that it makes the sound of a bunch of bees buzzing together when you turn this thing on. And there have been people who've reported that in relation to UFO close and close as well.

53:38Yeah, we heard a sound in that direction. It was sort of like a buzzing noise. It was a very, you know, it was like a buzzing. It kind of sounded like bees, but it's more like a machine bee sound. Just very strange. What was the craft like? So you're in the inside of this thing. What did it look like? A beehive. so they had this bell and they had this saucer shaped airframe that initially was being uh you know propelled by rockets they took the rockets out put the belt in it and there's your flying saucer it's the integration of the bell with the saucer airframe as the propulsion system for the saucer you know when the first public patent for a flying saucer was when 1937 really yeah a guy named Henry Kawanda, who was Romanian, but eventually he was, you know, overtaken by the Nazis and started to work with them.

54:33And then he went over to Reich-Patt and worked with the Americans on the Avrocar project, which is probably a front for some deeper stuff that you're kind of getting into right now. So I find that interesting as well. Well, that makes a very good point, too, in so far as scientific breakthroughs never only occur once and never come through only one person. Anyone who studies the history of science knows this. And one of the most ignorant points made today to dispute the idea that, let's say, the Nazis could have cracked ZPE back in the 40s and had saucer propulsion is, well, somebody else should have come up with it, you know, like either before or by now or whatever.

55:13First of all, the last few decades are full of cases of people coming up with like interesting energy devices and either being bought out or being made to disappear or whatever, you know, meeting some kind of misfortune. But going back to that era. Yes, other people arrived at the same thing. Townsend Brown arrived at something similar. Nikola Tesla had already arrived at something similar decades earlier. even if he didn't patent it and you know tesla was notorious for not properly patenting things his drawings of the world wireless system are full of ufos wingless electrogravitically powered craft they are all over tesla's drawings it's not as if the nazis came up with this like you know uniquely and the effects that you're mentioning people having incurred, you know, time displacement, disorientation, all the reports of the Philadelphia experiment, which was led by Thomas Townsend Brown, who had a nervous breakdown at that time and had to move out to L.A.

56:13and then started working for, you know, Martin Corporation the year that Skunk Works started. All of the same sort of reports of what you're describing, time displacement. I believe people think they might have used thorium in that as well, or maybe it was hexafluor. I don't remember, but very interesting. The parallels there, too, is people people said, you know, they went back in time. They went forward in time. There are all sorts of fantastical stories about it. Nobody knows quite what happened. It had a very large budget attached to it. So could have been this parallel kind of, you know, thing, which which which often happens in science, as you just said.

56:50Yep. Yep. And so now here's the picture. It's so from based on, you know, the research that I've done citing closer encounters. It's 1944 when they figure out finally how to integrate. Well, if they finish work on the bell, at least a prototype of it, and they figure out how to integrate it with the saucer airframe. 1944 so they're already losing the war the Germans are losing the war the Allies are marching on them it's increasingly a losing battle and Nazi leadership starts to make these statements about how there are these wonder weapons that are being developed and once the wonder weapons the Wunderwaffe are finished then Germany will dramatically turn the tide and secure like an 11th hour victory in the war But it's all dependent on these wonder weapons.

57:40And don't worry, they're coming, right? This rhetoric starts to emerge from out of party leadership. Otto Skorzeny, who at that time was the master of psychological warfare and special operations, shows up to the SCOTA works. And supposedly he's given a demonstration of this thing. And he gets obsessed with the idea of using this thing as part of some grand psychological warfare operation. And then we have, so this is 1944, right? Fast forward to a year after the end of the war. There are these newspaper reports in Spain that Otto Skorzeny is with General Franco on the Mediterranean coast, and they're launching saucer-shaped rockets toward America.

58:29They didn't know what to call these things at that time, right? They didn't know what rockets were. They were seeing these rocket-like things that were saucer-shaped being launched from Spain, the Mediterranean coast, over toward America. One year later, what happens? Roswell and other crashes. Whoa. What are the reports of Franco launching saucers with Scorsini? This is in, I think it's in the Saucer, Swastikovs and PsyOps book of Farrell where he reproduces these Spanish newspaper reports. Really? Yes, from 1946, describing the two of them together with, of course, a bunch of military people on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

59:07And you think that made its way to Roswell, New Mexico, possibly? Yeah. And the picture is a lot darker than that. Here's what I think happened. We all know about Operation Paperclip. You've discussed it at length on your show. What fewer people know about is the incorporation of the Galen organization into American intelligence. Right. So remember, the Soviets are marching across all of Eastern Europe, taking all this territory that had been part of the Reich. There's a whole network of Nazi SS affiliated intelligence operatives in Eastern Europe who continue to be embedded there as the Soviets are marching over the territory.

59:56so what happens in 1945 when america wins the war immediately at a strategic level it's understood that our enemy is now the soviet union and the world is divided at berlin right and if we're going to uh conduct successful espionage on the soviets we would have to build a vast spy network in eastern europe well there's already one there okay it's the network that was run by general Reinhard Galen. So our OSS makes a deal with General Galen to absorb his entire Nazi spy network in Eastern Europe as part of the creation of the CIA, part of the creation of the CIA and of West German intelligence, which was very closely affiliated with the CIA.

1:00:43So it's not just the case that we brought over all these Nazi scientists, by we I mean the CIA, it's that the CIA that brought over all those Nazi scientists and sanitized their records, you know, in these paper clip, the files, the sanitized files they created for them, sanitized bios and so forth. The CIA that did that was co-constituted by absorbing an SS spy network. Hmm. Well, think about what kind of culture that's creating in America, okay, as the National Security Act is passed in 1947. Why is the National Security Act passed in 1947? Let's talk about a guilt-free alternative to alcohol that's perfect for your dry January or any time you want to unwind.

Could it have to do with what happened at Roswell and the need to create a vast, unaccountable, inscrutable security apparatus? It could have been direct reaction. I believe the National Security Act was September 1947 and Roswell was July of 1947. So a lot of people speculate that. So here's what I think. It's a hydra. The Nazis created the crisis at Roswell. They staged an event. Now, let me not be misinterpreted, okay? As anyone who listened to our first conversation can see, I'm not by any means suggesting that like greys or whatever, like manufactured by Nazis or, you know, or that all of the crashes have to do with Nazis.

1:03:30No, no, no. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Do you think Roswell was accountable? Specifically Roswell. By Nazis. Yeah. Like, for example, there was a crash that Jacques Vallée gets into in his book Trinity that took place a couple of years or no, three years earlier. Right after the Trinity detonation near the test site, something came down. It was 20 days after the test. And the beings who were witnessed coming from out of that craft were like praying mantis, like, you know, something like between a gray and a praying mantis. Childlike. Childlike insectoid entities. Those were not, they didn't have anything to do with the Nazis.

1:04:06They were bald-headed, slang eyes, teardrop eyes, no ears, unless they had a coating of something on it. And I noticed that their shoulders were kind of narrow, but had long arms. And what surprised me, that they had four fingers. So I'm not suggesting that all these crashes have to do with Nazi psychological operations. But the particular incident at Roswell, I think, did. Really? Is that just based on the Franco-Scorzani shooting saucers? No, it's based on the analysis of what was recovered there. And all of it represents cutting-edge German technology. based on Corso's testimony of the technology recovered there and then looking into a history of cutting-edge German military technological innovations.

1:04:55But 47 is two years after the official surrender of, you know, VE Day, surrender of Germany. So why would they... When you look at the instruments of surrender, so a number of things are relevant here. Let's go through them one by one. When you look at the instruments of surrender, the German Army, Air Force, Navy, and the German government surrender. The SS never surrenders. The SS is not included in the German instruments of surrender. Is that because they're inherently the secret police? It's because they continued. They did not surrender. And certain particular SS officers not just continued, but developed high-level intelligence and financial relations with both the United States and the United Kingdom.

1:05:38But wasn't that still under the United States? Like I think of, you know, Warner Von Braun or a lot of these guys, they're sort of under the U.S.'s thumb, you know, ultimately the U.S. sort of wielded authority and power over them. No. You don't think so? So when Von Braun, who was, by the way, an SS major who used slave labor to build rockets and basically a concentration camp inside of a mountain. And then became responsible for the American space program, essentially. When Von Braun and his buddies were down in Texas, and during the period they were in Texas, at one point, it was noticed by American, probably the FBI, that they were going and meeting Nazi counterparts coming from Argentina at border towns in Mexico and giving them data drops.

1:06:31They were giving classified American military data to their Nazi counterparts coming from Argentina in meetings in Mexico. So they were confronted about this by the Americans. Next thing you know, a V2 rocket goes off course and hits a place in Mexico. No way. And the von Braun's people basically intimated to the Americans, you know, if you make working conditions hard for us and keep grilling us like this, you know, rockets are bound to go off course. And maybe, you know, a war with Mexico might even start. What? So they were being hassled by these people in a way that suggests that these Nazis had a lot more control and latitude than the civilian government of the United States wanted to believe was the case.

1:07:22And I think that degree of control is coming from the deep state that was established through the National Security Act of 1947. In other words, the CIA, probably the NSA, and various other apparatuses of our deep state in America were co-constituted by the remnants of the SS. And this isn't unique to America with, for example, the absorption of the Galen network into the OSS to create the CIA. It's also the case with the British. So Ian Fleming, who went on to write the Bond novels, was an MI6 operative whose specific mission at the end of the war was to facilitate the evacuation of Martin Bormann to Argentina.

1:08:08Martin Bormann was like the financial mastermind of the Reich. And he supposedly died three times. There are three conflicting accounts of this man's death. From 1945 to 1947. Next thing you know, he has a joint bank account with Juan Perón in Argentina. And as late as the 1960s, Martin Bormann is cashing checks written in his own name through Chase, J.P. Morgan Chase, in Buenos Aires. Okay. So the British are involved too. And then this Ian Fleming, MI6 operative, winds up becoming a novelist who writes about an organization called Spectre, which is a hidden third power in the world. So the villain in the Bond-verse is a secret transnational global organization that's capable of rivaling both the Soviet Union and the civilian government of the United States.

1:09:12Whoa. Well, I guess Spectre, they have like German accents a lot of them, don't they? It's very obviously the organization which was known to Ian Fleming as Odessa, the initials of which in German stand for Order of Former SS Officers, and which informally was referred to as Die Spine or the Spider. Fascinating. Really? Well, that's really amazing. That's so interesting. And do you know anything? Because I believe the inspiration for Ian Fleming for James Bond was William Stevenson, who was known as Churchill's super spy. He was sort of Canadian, British, actually, and I had an identical memory, was an engineer, and then also was this kind of brilliant super spy strategist.

1:10:00And so was he ever fighting the spider in any sort of way? Because that would, like, instantiate this even more. So that I don't know. Yeah. That I don't know. But I know that Fleming was involved with them and facilitating. I think that the leadership of this organization basically was taken over by Martin Bormann. And probably Otto Skorzeny was in the second position once these people basically set up shop in Argentina. One of the most interesting things that they did in Argentina was they promised they were going to develop fusion power and fusion nuclear weapons for Juan Perón. And this guy, Ronald Richter, German scientist, set up a fusion project in Bariloche.

1:10:51This is early 1950s, late 40s into the early 50s. I believe in 1951, the IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency, went down there to investigate claims that they were developing nuclear fusion. And they found a very complex facility over there. Yeah, I've been there, actually. I've seen it. Yeah, you were telling me so. There's a little island off the coast of Bariloche. It's like this little, yeah. So you went to Bariloche to investigate? Not to investigate this. I was just hanging out in Bariloche and I was on a hike. And then somebody told me about this scientist named Ronald Richter, who was this former Nazi who was working on fusion there.

1:11:33And I was like, what? And then I went and it's amazing. And so, yeah. And then there's a civilian nuclear grid in Bariloche as well. So who knows if there is some sort of overlap there. Well, Argentina later almost developed nuclear weapons later on in the 1970s. But here's the interesting thing is that he promised to develop these nuclear weapon fusion fusion weapons for Peron and he never did. And moreover, when the IAEA people went down there and investigated, they said, this doesn't look like any fusion that we understand. We don't know what this guy is doing down here. It's incredibly energy intensive, but it doesn't look like any kind of fusion that we understand.

1:12:12OK. here's where it gets really dark and and goes to your question of like if they had all this technology meaning the nazis why didn't they use it to win the war and how is it that we won the war and so on and so forth right yeah okay um there are some eyewitness reports of two german nuclear weapons tests being conducted between late 1944 and early 1945 one in the baltic sea where a pilot was flying over the Baltic Sea and he saw a bright, bright light that almost blinded him and an explosion where there were like multicolored, like rainbow colored lights, like fizzling inside the explosion, which is a telltale sign of a nuclear fission explosion when you see one with your naked eye in person.

1:13:04It doesn't register on camera very well, but it's like the rest of the fissile material, kind of like reacting inside the mushroom cloud. And he said like it created a huge pressure wave he saw from his airplane and this blinding flash of light and these weird like multicolored reactions. And then there's a second eyewitness account of what appears to be a nuclear test near the Thuringian forest, which I think they said like cut out power in a nearby town or something like this. Like, you know, the EMP effect of it. so um again this is this is research that's been done by two people one is a guy weird name uh plimpton hydrick i think plymouth or is it plimpton i got it wrong when we spoke on the phone it's actually plimpton i think hydrick okay a book called critical mass okay it's a whole study of the nazi nuclear program and its connection to the united states and to the bombs we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which we'll come to in a minute.

1:14:05And then the second source is Farrell's deeper research on Plimpton-Heidrich's claims and additional research that he did into Nazi nuclear weapons. And basically the picture that emerges is this, that the uranium enrichment program that Heisenberg was running was a red herring. It was a basically cover and diversionary tactic to throw off the allies who successfully defeated that program they sent like a team of like nordic skiers or something to like take out the heavy water plant and so they they derailed that project uh but that there was a deeper black project to develop nuclear weapons using electromagnetic isotope separation which is something that later was used at oakridge in the united states and that the germans were using electromagnetic isotope separation in a more secret parallel track program that did succeed in developing fission weapons.

1:15:08Now, Plimpton Heydrich in his book argues, he makes this case, that at Trinity, they did not, the records show that they did... When you say electromagnetic isotope separation, just like a centrifuge or like... No, something other than the kind of centrifuge technology that we're used to. and I you know I'm not a physicist I don't know what it is and probably they were also using laser isotope enrichment because the Nazis developed the laser I think in part for this purpose of isotope enrichment and which by the way just very brief side note to all those people like investigating the Iranian nuclear program right now they are not using centrifuge enrichment for the nuclear weapons.

1:15:58Iran has been using laser isotope enrichment. And I hope that wherever the hell it is they're conducting laser isotope enrichment, that this regime doesn't have an unacknowledged stockpile of highly enriched uranium. In any case, be that as it may as a sign. The Shah bought laser isotope enrichment technology from Switzerland in 1970. Anyway, so all this says, we got to check out the centrifuges. That's not where they're doing. But okay, how is it relevant? They learn from the Nazis. The Nazis had a fake program, which was a diversionary tactic. And then there was a real deeper black program. Why would you use because Heisenberg was so smart.

1:16:34I mean, he was responsible for, you know, understanding the mathematical underpinnings behind quantum leaps, you know, electrons and electron shells and orbits and, you know, the uncertainty. He also wrote this book, Physics and Philosophy, which is an absolutely masterful text that quotes Heraclitus and shows how Heraclitus was like a precursor to quantum theory and intuited basically quantum theory. It's a brilliant guy. Yeah, and it's really, it's a trippy book, that book, because he talks about all sorts of issues in quantum mechanics and interpretations that, you know, the Copenhagen school is kind of wrestling with that we now kind of paint over with this broad brush around consciousness.

1:17:13And he really like muses in this deep way that consciousness might play a part in wave function collapse and that sort of thing. And now it's just, you know, oh, you know, it's it's all it's, you know, it's it's the quantum detector or whatever does, you know, wave function collapses when particles collide or whatever. But so why would you why would you waste a guy like that brain like that? Because if you want the allies to believe that this is your nuclear program, you're going to have to put as your front man the guy that the allies would expect to be running the Nazi nuclear program. What's interesting about him is he and all the people on his nuclear program were captured, like you said, and they were put, I believe, in the English countryside and the whole house was wiretapped.

1:17:59And this is a part of the ALSO's program, this, you know, nuclear tech retrieval program. And they were just listening. What are they going to say? Maybe they give away some trade secrets. And they talk about feeling regret around working on the nuclear program and also gratitude that their sort of heavy water engine never quite worked out, which was, I guess they were using deuterium, you know, in their approach. I thought you were going to say something else because the other thing I've heard about that, I've heard this story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a transcript. It's amazing. Yeah. But here's another interesting thing about that.

1:18:32Yeah, yeah. is that when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they overheard these guys, they have that transcript, of how immediately Heisenberg and his people calculated the amount of fissile material used. Really? Yeah. So it was as if they knew, like they could reverse engineer from the scale of the explosion, whatever, what kind of bomb produced. Whoa. Which implies a completed nuclear weapon, knowledge of one. But in any case, that's not important. Either that or they're the most competent guys, which means they shouldn't be on the cover program. I wouldn't rest anything on that.

1:19:09But here's the interesting point I was making in relation to the Plimpton-Hydrick's research. Yeah. Is that he says that there's records showing the amount of fissile material at Trinity and that it wasn't anywhere close to being able to basically complete Fat Man and Little Boy. And that in 1945, a deal was made with the Nazis to transfer by submarine the fissile material that went into the bombs that we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Trinity project was completed with Nazi highly enriched uranium and that it was transferred in an agreement that we made with the SS. Wow. Okay. Your high conviction in that.

1:19:55Well, this is what he argues, and he's done, you know, his book is Critical Mass. Yep. Okay? And he lays out a huge argument for this. Now, here's the problem.

1:20:10If we got our uranium from them, and by the way, he also makes the argument that the engineering of the plutonium bomb was completed with Nazi assistance. Okay? So if we got our, you know, uranium and additional technical expertise for completing our nuclear weapons from the Nazis, and if there are two reports of Nazi successful nuclear tests in 44 into 45. Yeah. Why weren't these weapons used by the Nazis? It's a great question. Why? There are a couple of different answers, and they're both really disturbing. Okay. Let me start. I don't know which one is more disturbing. Okay. But, okay. So if Ronald Richter is working on fusion in Argentina in 1950, is it possible?

1:21:00And the Nazis had, let's say they've developed this bell that involves electromagnetic torsion of thorium and some kind of a plasma fusion that takes place inside of this device. Is it possible the Nazis figured out some other kind of nuclear reaction, weaponizable nuclear reaction, besides fission? And is that related to why Ronald Richter was promising fusion bombs to Juan Perón, which he never delivered? Interesting. I didn't know if he was promising fusion bombs. Yeah, he was promising nuclear weapons. And this is why the IAEA went down there. But fusion bombs. Well, okay, he's working on fusion and he's promising nuclear bombs to Peron.

1:21:45So we may assume from those two data points that he's promising fusion bombs. Now, we only developed fusion bombs. And hydrogen bombs are fusion bombs, right? Exactly. But here's the interesting thing is that we developed hydrogen fusion bombs in the 50s. And this is 1950, Ronald Richter's down there. So it's relatively the same ballpark timeframe. Yeah, Edward Teller and Oolong, that design was 52. Yeah, but here's the thing. Our hydrogen bombs use a fission trigger to create a fusion reaction. What if the Nazis figured out how to create a fusion reaction without a fission trigger? It would be extremely useful because the radioactivity of a nuclear explosion comes from the fission trigger.

1:22:29The neutron bombardment that, well, first of all, you know, immediately disrupts like a whole, you know, our whole organism. and then also irradiates all the fallout that comes down on people, that neutron bombardment is from the fission reaction, not from the fusion. So if you could create a fusion reaction without a fission trigger, you'd have a clean nuclear bomb, an extremely high explosive force, but no radioactivity. So your troops could move into that area and occupy it immediately. Really? You see? There'd be no radioactivity. No radioactivity. Straight to fuse. It's the opposite of a neutron bomb.

1:23:07So a neutron bomb is engineered to maximize neutron bombardment. This is an aneutronic fusion bomb. If the Nazis developed that in 1944 to 45, atom bombs would be like matches for them. It's child's play. So they would be willing to trade that for something else, like maybe the mass assimilation and amnesty for Nazi scientists, like maybe incorporation of their entire SS spy network in Eastern Europe into the CIA, like perhaps the transfer of a huge amount of funds, wartime loot to Argentina and other places, that they made a deal and gave the matches to the Americans. They kept the fusion bombs for themselves.

1:23:56You don't think they just vaporized large swaths of American territory and tried to win? Now, this comes to the second reason, which is even more disturbing. Okay.

1:24:09And I almost apologize for how disturbing this is. No. But people need to really think about this because I think we're still inside this spider's web. And it's responsible for a lot of the deception, misdirection around the disclosure conversation today. So you have to take seriously this claim on the part of the Nazi leadership that they wanted a thousand year Reich. Okay. A thousand year imperium is no joke. Americans have a very hard time with this because this country was born yesterday in historical terms. Okay. there are other people who are capable of grasping this more effectively let me give you an example and trust me it's worth setting it up like this and for context for the audience real quick third right is called that because i believe it was the roman empire then the holy roman empire and they were supposed to be the third instantiation yeah so they want this thousand year right okay well who thinks like that we in iran uh there was a dynasty that's often misnamed the second persian Empire.

1:25:16Actually, they weren't Persians. They were Scythians, the Parthian Empire of Iran. Okay. It lasted for 400 years. The Parthian Empire of Iran was the principal rival of Rome. So the two superpowers in the world at that time were the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire of Iran. And at that time, the country was called Aryana Khashatra, Aryan Imperium. That was the official name of the Parthian government, was Aryan Imperium. And then Aryana gets shortened to Iran in Middle Persia. So these Parthians ruled Iran and successfully fought the Romans, usually to a stalemate, for 400 years. Then they get overthrown in a coup by these guys called the Sassanids, the Sassanid Persians, and they established their own empire.

1:26:00But the Parthian elite continue to be the backbone of the Sassanid state. The feudal houses, the Parthian feudal houses, serve the Sassanid state and protect it the way like in Game of Thrones, you have all the main houses in Game of Thrones and they're like serving, what's that place? You know, the main, the capital, whatever it is, right? Oh. In Game of Thrones, where's that place? I forget. And the Lannisters are there and like all the other feudal houses are serving them, right? Yes, yeah. So get this, the Parthians rule Iran for 400 years directly. Yeah. They continued to rule Iran secretly for another 400 years under the Sassanids.

1:26:40They're the backbone of the Sassanid state. In the end, the conflict, make a very long story short, the conflict they had with the Sassanids results in the collapse of Iran to Islam. The state security of Iran and the conquest of the Persian Empire by the Arab Muslim armies was on account of basically the tension between the Sassanids and these feudal lords. so Iran then is subsumed by Islam for a couple hundred years round about 850-900 an Iranian renaissance begins which is misnamed often the Islamic golden age 90 % of the people who contributed to it in the arts and sciences were Iranians anyway the Parthians are also the patrons of this so they become like the Medici's they become the patrons of an Iranian renaissance for another 300 years between like 900 between 900 and 1100 So these people ruled Iran directly for 400 years, ruled Iran indirectly for another 400 years, 800 years.

1:27:38And then for another 300 years, they patroned an Iranian renaissance, 1100 years. For over a thousand years, these feudal families had a coherent political vision. That's how you need to think when you want a thousand year Reich. Okay. So if the Nazis in the modern world want to set up a thousand year imperium, it's going to require a little bit of preparation. Investing a century in psychological warfare and social engineering to set up your thousand year Reich is not at all an unreasonable investment. And so my hypothesis is that from 1945 until 2045, we are in a period of preparation involving horrendous psychological warfare and social engineering by a deeply entrenched fascist elite.

1:28:35Let's not call them Nazis anymore because they're really not nationalists. A deeply entrenched fascist elite that controls the American deep state. so that's the second answer to why did they not win the war no they won the war it's just you have to rethink what the war is the war is a weltanschauungskrieg it's a worldview war and that doesn't mean what americans think it does so like when we went into germany in 1945 the american military went in there they translated weltanschauungskrieg into psychological warfare And then later it became, you know, the battle for hearts and minds, right? Psychological operations, psyops, or psychological warfare.

1:29:17That's not what Weltanschauungskrieg means. It means a war over the constitution of the world from out of human consciousness on a social level. And it goes back to German thinkers like Schelling, Friedrich Schelling, and also ultimately Nietzsche. Definitely Nietzsche's idea of perspectival conflict. that there's no unified God's eye perspective on the world. There is, of course, you know, God is dead, right? I mean, Nietzsche is the ultimate deconstructor of a theistic monistic ontology. So there's no God to have a perspective on the whole world. And there's nothing like a God's eye perspective even in science.

1:30:01And science is always conditioned by culture and by politics. so ontologically the world is pluralistic i mean william james also made this point he wrote a book called a pluralistic universe which if you look at the ontology of william james's radical empiricism in his book a pluralistic universe it almost completely maps onto nietzsche's perspectival ontology and i compared the two explicitly in prometheus and atlas so you have this conflict of perspectives that brings about the constitution of what we consider to be the world. Heidegger, beginning in being in time and going into his writings on technology, he calls this the worldhood of the world.

1:30:47What makes a world of meaning for any people is not the same as how the warp and weft of meaning is brought together by another people. So there is a conflict of worlds over the earth, different worlds constituted by, let's say, what Jung might call the collective unconscious of a particular people. And by the way, this is a point that's often, I don't know whether it's overlooked or whether it's deliberately distorted in readings of Jung, is that Jung did not believe in a single collective unconscious. Jung believed in a racially differentiated collective unconscious. And he's getting that idea from Hegel.

1:31:27in Hegel's philosophy of mind, Hegel talks about the spirit of different races and how the spirit of different, it sounds crazy, but Hegel even thinks that the spirit of different races can shape the world geologically. I don't know that Jung would certainly take it that far, but Jung kind of got that idea from him and he developed it to where, like, for example, he predicted that the spirit of Wotan would erupt from out of the collective unconscious of the German people, and it did, in the form of the rise of the Nazis in the Second World War. So Heidegger is saying that there's a war, and very much lines up again with Nietzsche, there's a war of different worlds over the earth.

1:32:10So World War II is not what we think it is. First of all, all the deep Nazi thinkers did not see any difference between World War I and World War II. If you read, for example, Carl Schmitt, you see this, you read Heidegger, you see this, they say it's just the World War. and the world war, the great war never ended for us. The Treaty of Versailles was imposed on them. They considered themselves to be like in a perpetual state of war for the world. And so you have to understand the term world war in a different way. It's a Weltanschauungskrieg. It's a war over the way that the world is going to show itself, is going to come into presence, is going to manifest.

1:32:51It's a certain understanding of what I've called in my writings phenomenal authorization, where I've drawn a connection between three different ideas, authorship, authority, and authorization, and tried to explain how phenomena are authored and authorized in how they can take shape, and that that's the most fundamental form of sovereignty, that real authority is not like the authority of a civilian government that's elected or some bureaucracy. It's who has the authority to shape phenomena into a meaningful world at a fundamental level. And the people who developed what Otto Skorzeny was the master of in Germany, namely Weltanschanskrieg, they understood this.

1:33:47So it's not bizarre for these people to engage in a century of social engineering to set up then what they expect would be a thousand-year imperium. If they had dropped whatever few nuclear weapons they had in 1944 on American cities, I can tell you exactly what the result would have been. Total war against the German people on the part of America. At the same time as they're still fighting the Soviet Union, right, who actually was the principal enemy of Nazi Germany or responsible for most of the deaths in Europe, the Soviets are really the ones who defeated the Germans, to be honest. Okay. And so they've got Stalin coming at them from one direction.

1:34:28Now they're dropping nukes on their fellow Germanic, you know, fellow European Americans. Now they're going to get the Americans, you know, interested in total war to annihilate them. Americans were also developing nuclear weapons. Best case scenario, I guarantee you, Jesse, they would not have ruled the world for more than two generations. Even if they had succeeded in militarily defeating America, there would have been a massive insurgency against them. The amount of arms that Americans possess personally, right? And then the amount of communist revolutionary fervor in Europe being backed by the Soviet Union, they would have faced a massive insurgency.

1:35:11But is the implication that there's some sort of Nazi sleeper cell undergirding American politics today? Fascist is a better way to put it. Fascist? I'm a fascist because, again, here's another point. The neo-Nazis hate this. These people aren't nationalists. So Nazism is, no, Martin Bormann is not a nationalist. Otto Skorzen is not a nationalist. These people create, first of all, to begin with, they weren't nationalists. They were looking for a kind of global imperium. They used nationalism. They used crass populism to create a power base for themselves. But you can see from how they're operating, especially after the war, from 1945 onward, that they're very much internationalists.

1:35:54They have a global vision. But they're fascists. And do I think that there's a fascist underbelly to America? Absolutely. I think that's the deepest substratum of the deep state that controls these black projects is absolutely fascist. now but but it was it was a nationalist movement i mean you had wagner was very popular of course out of on bismarck and you had this resuscitation of all this kind of german national pride free remember what we were saying about monumental history earlier you need to monumentalize history if you want a substantive forward development so if you want to create a thousand-year reich you need a lot of cultural material for that but i would hardly say that at least among the leadership of this movement that they were sort of like xenophobically German.

1:36:41No, they loved all kinds of European civilizational heritage. And they were interested in the Aryan heritage of places like Iran and India as well. They even sent people to Tibet to get the Tibetan scriptures. They sent them to Mount Kailash and they were looking for the Holy Grail. Yeah, they were interested. They had a very broad and deep conception of what they considered the Aryan heritage. It was not nationalistically German. They used the German nationalism to rile up masses and build a power base. So do you think there was some Nazi non-human intelligence or alien connection going? I mean, this is got Peter Labenda, for example, who writes a book called The Unholy Alliance, where he talks about what we talked about last time, Nordic alien beings.

1:37:29Do you think that there was some sort of alliance between them and the Nazis? Because I guess that sounds quacky, but I'm almost even more likely to believe that than the idea that the Nazis writ large just threw their lot in with the U.S. and sort of stopped fighting and made some, you know, really long time horizon calculated decision to perpetuate the Third Reich through some sort of sub-rugged. Rosa ruling of their greatest adversary. Like I just, I think. No, I agree with you. No, I agree with you. The regime that would do that wouldn't fail and fight a two front war with Russia and then, you know, destroy themselves.

1:38:11Right. Yeah. Well, they're not mutually exclusive. Okay. Do I think that they were in contact on some level with people who they knew would in some way affirm and complete this project they were taking a great risk to forward yes i think so and there we need to look at these claims about the virile society and the thule society so there are these claims that there was a group of mediums i think mostly women who were engaging in telepathic communication with basically a group of supermen and that the supermen were sort of helping these occultists with both geopolitical machinations and scientific breakthroughs.

1:39:04I haven't been able to find any evidence of an independently existing Vril society. But there was a Thule society. And the concept of Vril was very important to the Thule society. Vril is this idea that Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote a book about in 1871, I believe. The coming race. Yeah, and by the way, this guy's biography is insane. What's his deal? Look at Edward Bulwer-Lytton. At one point, he was offered the crown of Greece, and he declined it. Really? Yeah, they offered it. He was a British gentleman. Yeah. British aristocrat, super aristocrat. Mm-hmm. Extremely erudite guy, obviously deep into the occult.

1:39:41Mm-hmm. And traveled around a lot, and at one point, they wanted to make him king of Greece, and he was like, no, man, I don't want the trouble. Really? Yeah. And this book he wrote, The Coming Race, Hitler was, I think, really into. Yes. And it was this book about like an underground civilization or something. Was this based on any sort of empirical evidence from him, you know, in his journeys or whatever? Did he happen upon these people or something? I don't know. One can speculate, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. One can speculate that that might have been the case. But in any case, the Thule Society took all this very seriously.

1:40:13And the Thule Society, oddly enough, it was founded by this guy, Baron Rudolf von Spottendorf. who was initiated in Kurdistan of all places. He was initiated into an ancient Iranian Kurdish order called Ahl-Haq, who are basically like surviving Mithras. Anyway, long story short, he comes back from Kurdistan through Turkey and he creates the Stul Gazalshaft. Now, what is Stul? Stul is the Germanic conception of Atlantis. It's an island continent where a super civilization existed in vast antiquity, which these people, the Thulegesellschaft, believed were the progenitors of the Aryan race. And by the way, they didn't make this up.

1:40:57Helena Blavatsky has this in her theosophical writings that the Aryan race came from Atlantis. I mean, this is one of the claims that she makes. And I believe that on some level, Steiner accepted it also, although Steiner had a much more metaphysical, transcendental interpretation of what Atlantis was. Yeah. Well, I mean, I think he believed it existed. And then Rudolf Hess, who was in Hitler's inner circle, was a huge fan of Rudolf Steiner as well. Yes. And then the Nazis eventually consider Steiner to be their principal adversary, which is saying a lot. Because when you consider somebody your nemesis, it means that in a way, actually, you're fighting over the same thing.

1:41:33I didn't know that. You're fighting over. Oh, they burned down the Gothenium. The Nazis burned down the first Gothenium because they thought that anthroposophy could really become a rival to Nazism and to their vision for Europe and the destiny of the world and so on and so forth. Which, you know, it says a lot. In any case, the Thule Society was obsessed with Atlantis and excavating the Atlantean heritage of the Aryans, including the Germans, and essentially of creating a new Atlantis. Now, where would this island continent be? Which, by the way, the Germans associate it with ice and a frozen over place.

1:42:12and some Germans believed that it was the same place as Hyperborea. Some of them did. So if you look back at Plato's Timaeus and Critias and read every one of the clues he gives us about where Atlantis was located, he says it is an island continent the size of Libya and Asia combined, which in the geography of the Greeks of his time meant a landmass the size of the Persian Empire. that's a big island okay that's that's like the size of the continental united states okay then he says that it's in the world ocean and that from atlantis you can by going to atlantis you can cross over from one side of the world to the other side of the world really and it's in the world ocean oh well we have a world ocean it's where the pacific ocean the atlantic ocean and the indian ocean meet sure in the coastline of antarctica yeah okay and it is an island the size of libya and asia combined as you put it or skies the size of continental united states and you can get to the other side of the world from it you island hop through antarctica you can get from africa to south america or you know yep and uh he also says that there's a huge mountain ranges there so and then one other thing and it was destroyed by a great flood And it might have had sort of very livable conditions pre Younger Dryas period and Ice Age, you know, a la Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson's work.

1:43:47And so literally, you know, Atlantis was destroyed in this great flood. And it's it's dated back. They say this was nine thousand in that mythos festival, Timaeus and Croteus. That's 600 B.C. And they say this was nine thousand years ago. And that's 9 ,600 BC, which is literally the end of the Ice Age and this flood, which ended the Ice Age. It was called Meltwater Pulse 1B. Yes. And I think the mechanism for that. So the dates match perfectly. Yeah. And I think the mechanism for that was convincingly argued by Charles Hapgood. Charles Hapgood was a scientist who worked to think it was. He might have been a historian, actually.

1:44:29He worked at Boston University, I believe. But he also was working on a contract for the CIA. And he came up with this theory called Earth Crustal Displacement, where periodically, this is to really dumb it down, but periodically the Earth would become top heavy due to glaciation. And this would cause the crust of the Earth to slip over the mantle by a few thousand kilometers. And that pulls the ice out of the polar regions and the ice then precipitously melts. Okay, so this notion that North America was covered by ice during the Ice Age and that North America was where it currently is, but it was just covered by ice, is fallacious, according to Hapgood.

1:45:25It's that the North Pole was where Hudson Bay is today. And the reason North America was glaciated was because it was a lot closer to the North Pole. A lot more of it was closer to the North Pole. and uh by the same token at that time antarctica was where argentina would be today so atlantis would have had the climate of contemporary argentina and i believe in the piri reis map which was found in turkey that's exactly what it looks like it looks like antarctica has sort of shifted and this is supposed to be some sort of you know pre-ice age map not only that those maps at least one of them. I don't remember whether it's the Piri Reis or the Orontius Phineus map, but one of them shows that Antarctica actually consists of two islands that are very close together.

1:46:15And this is, in fact, the case. Our subglacial topography has shown that it's not one landmass. It's two islands that are very close together. Yeah. So that also lends to its accuracy. Totally. And so whoever made those maps originally, And they may have been copied in the Library of Alexandria. Whoever made the initial maps that have correct longitude and latitude on them, also, which we didn't have at that time. Also, the conspiracy about Piri Reis is that the map looks like it shows the curvature of the Earth. Yeah. And this is well before Columbus. Yes. So I think that those were copied from Atlantean maps at some point.

1:46:52Copied and recopied many times. anyway so the nazis are looking for atlantis the thule gazelle shaft is right the thule society and thule is there atlantis and by the way one little interesting point there is that the mayans have you know the mayans have legends of atlantis they have legends of a great island great island continent that was decimated by a flood and that its survivors took refuge there There is this legend among the Mayans, which I believe Graham Hancock, among others, has cited in his work. And they have these two words that they use for that place. One is atlan, and the other is tulan.

1:47:37Tulan sounds a lot like tul. Tulan, right? Tulan, atlan. So it could be the same word even, ultimately, or derived from the same word. Anyway, guess what the Nazis wind up doing? 1937-38, Deutsch-Antarctic Expedition. They send a ton of personnel down there. They even fly over the Transantarctic Mountains and drop swastika flags all over the landscape with like spears. Why do you think they went? Because they figured out that this is Thule, that this is Atlantis. The nominal reason too, which is so prima facie, just absurd, is I think they said that they were going because of butter rations and Antarctica was a source of margarine or something, so they needed to go explore it.

1:48:29The penguins, right. Yeah, exactly. Hess and the penguins. It's not even like a charismatic cover story. That seems so patently ridiculous. You know, there's a book called Hess and the penguins. Oh, I didn't know that. Hess and the penguin. Oh, yeah. Like Herman Hess? No. So one of the main guys they send to Antarctica is Rudolf Hess. Oh, Rudolf Hess. Yeah. And this Rudolf Hess, who they send to Antarctica, a few years later, takes a secret unauthorized flight out of Germany, lands in Britain in a field, is met by British officers. And he says, I have orders to meet with Winston Churchill. What?

1:49:15And they go to Churchill and they say, sir, this is a Hess is here. Like, you know, he flew up on an authorized flight here. And Churchill said, I don't want to see him. Throw him in prison. We're going to interrogate him. So then they interrogate Hess. And he says he had orders to secretly come to Britain and make a, not just a peace overture, but an alliance proposal to 30 members of the British Parliament who were favorable toward Hitler. so at this point when Hess had made this flight I believe Hitler had made three peace offers to the British including an offer to ally together and to have basically the British Royal Navy and the Nazis become collaborators on a global scale and so this was the final peace offering before the outbreak of hostilities and who did they send the guy who was in Antarctica what's the significance well and here's the other thing And after the war, he remained in prison.

1:50:20They kept him in prison. So this guy didn't participate in the brunt of World War II. He was put in prison before hostilities break out with the British. They keep him in prison, and then they send him to West Germany, where he winds up imprisoned to the day he dies, and no one's allowed to talk to him. They quarantine him. Rudolf S. Number one, why keep him in prison? What did he do? I mean, you know, he went to Antarctica, came back, tried to make peace with the British. This guy wasn't involved in the hostilities. Why even put him in prison? Number two, why quarantine him and not allow people to talk to him?

1:50:54And keep him there until the day he dies? What did Hess know? What did he see in Antarctica? What did he want to tell the British? That's an interesting question. What do you think? About Atlantis. You think so? Yeah. I think that they got there and they came there with the express purpose. of excavating what is there, what they believe to be there. And I think they found it. And there's a very interesting story that was told to Linda Moulton Howe by a Navy SEAL who claimed to have been tasked with a mission in Antarctica. And he said that not far from McMurdo, they discovered a huge, like, I don't want to make up a number, It was very large.

1:51:44Black stone octagonal, highly polished black stone octagonal structure sticking out like 18 feet above the ice. And they found the doorway to this thing. The doorway was like 20 feet by like 20 feet. and it slid open to reveal this octagonal huge chamber that was illuminated. It wasn't clear from what light source with this pale greenish hue. And they started to investigate and they found that this complex consisted of one octagon underneath another. Oh, very important point. The door to the facility had a Schwarzenegger inscribed on it. Etched perfectly into this polished black stone. What is that?

1:52:34Was the Black Sun symbol that the SS had put on the floor of the main meeting hall in Wevelsberg Castle, where the highest order of SS knights would meet, led by Himmler. So that same symbol, according to this Navy SEAL, was on the door to this octagonal facility. And they went and explored it and they said it was octagon underneath octagon until the last lower level of it opened into antediluvian ruins, into like vastly ancient megalithic structures that were trapped by the ice deep underneath the ice. So it's like something that was built there to give access to this, you know, these, I don't know, the ruins of Atlantis or whatever.

1:53:18And I think the Navy SEAL also said that they found another way to get down there to the bottom of this, you know, pancaked octagonal structure by taking submarines under the ice, U.S. submarines. So they found another way around to get to the same point and surface the sub inside this pocket where, like, the octagonal structure met the ruins that are trapped in ice. So that's an interesting date. Now, you know, Linda Moulton Howe has been fed this information by various people. For sure. Doty and so forth. So who knows whether this account from this Navy SEAL is more disinfo or not. Are there any other corroborating stories?

1:53:57Well, there's Operation High Jump. So in 1946, for whatever reason, the United States Navy sent a huge expedition of ships to Antarctica. And it's worthy of note that this happened immediately after we intercepted Nazi submarine traffic going to Argentina, right around Patagonia. So we intercept these German submarines, and then Operation High Jump is fielded, and Admiral Byrd goes down there with a huge contingent, and they're supposed to be there for months studying Antarctica or whatever. And they come back in very short order, badly damaged, many ships lost and personnel lost to whatever catastrophe, it's not entirely clear.

1:54:49I mean, they blamed it on weather conditions. And there are these stories that, I mean, there are literally stories like press clippings, that when Admiral Byrd stopped at Chile, I don't know if it was Santiago, somewhere in Chile on the way back to the United States at a port in Chile. He gave a statement to the Chilean press saying that we needed to prepare for a third world war in which aircraft could cross from pole to pole at tremendous speeds.

1:55:27So there's that. And then he was debriefed in Washington and never spoke about it again. and then i believe his direct boss a guy named james forestall who was secretary of the navy then became secretary of defense committed suicide in a sort of weird fashion i mean suicide my ass they threw him out a window they threw him out of a window yeah exactly um yeah first they sent him to like what was it like mental health health hospitalization or naval hospital in methesda maryland and he was actually um reciting or he was he was writing um the uh sophocles poem or whatever and he's like the mid-sentence and um his brother had just seen him the day before and said that he was totally fine and upset in mind and then they found his bathrobe tied to the radiator and he had jumped out the window or whatever the whole thing was sort of like really inexplicable and weird um i think they killed him you do you think it was related to the admiral bird stuff i was really the bird it was really to basically the creation of the national security state through the integration of American military intelligence and industrial structure with the remnants of Nazi Germany.

1:56:39Interesting. And then do you think, are there any other corroborating facts around Antarctica possibly being this kind of Atlantean bastion? I mean, is the idea that like there is some sort of like Atlantean surviving remnant group that's still there? I mean, it is interesting that Antarctica is a no-fly zone as of 1957, the international geophysical year. There have been skiers who were putatively exploring Antarctica for sport, who have had black helicopters descend on them. And they were told that they are in an area that affects the national security of the United States and that they're going to be immediately evacuated.

1:57:24Really? Yeah. And now there shouldn't be an area that affects the national security of the United States legally, because according to the Antarctic Treaty, Antarctica is like a neutral neutral zone. Yeah. Right. I do suspect that. The principal subterranean submarine location for these Nordics who we discussed in our first conversation is Antarctica. That's what I suspect. that if the Atlantean civilization was destroyed there by some precipitous flooding and Antarctica being pulled into the southern polar region so that it froze over. Oh, I'll tell you another interesting corroborating piece of evidence in a minute.

1:58:09So that it froze over. Look, if we're dealing with this super advanced civilization that had like ZPE propulsion, of course they had underground facilities. Antarctica is full of mountains. It has mountains arrival to Himalayas. Those people would have built facilities inside mountains and underground. Those facilities would have survived. So there would have been Atlanteans who survived in these facilities. I think it's even speculated now by climate scientists and geophysicists that there could be subterranean parts of Antarctica with pretty warm climate. Lake Vostok. Lake Vostok is a huge thermal vent.

1:58:50Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's fascinating. I also think Richard Byrd, Admiral Richard Byrd, talked about a pyramid and the pyramid you can spot. Like I have a friend who went down there and I think he was making a documentary or something and he saw this sort of black pyramid. There's a picture of it. I've seen a picture of it. Yeah. And it was on Google Maps. And then I think it got deleted on Google Maps. That's what I heard. It was a big scandal. But like, you know, I have a friend who's like not into UFOs at all and like went down to Antarctica. And he can see it. He saw it. You could see this thing.

1:59:19Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like a real thing. Um, so I don't know. It's interesting. Yes. Now, the other thing I was going to tell you is corroborative of this is that we got into this just a little bit in our first conversation. The flood myths. Yeah. Right. So there's a version of the Noah's flood story in every culture on Earth. Yeah. Okay. Which makes it pretty certain that it happened. There's only one myth that's different. It's the same event, but it's a different type of story. That's the Iranian version. So in the Iranian version, which is preserved in the Avesta, the ancient Iranian scriptures, originally Mithraic and then Zoroastrian scriptures, it says that the Iranian people, which you have to understand when they're using the term Aryan people, like I said, in the Parthian period and before, the country was called Arjano.

2:00:15So in the Avesta, it says that the Arjanim, the Aryan people, come from an island continent at the center of the world, which froze over. Froze over. Really? Yes. Interesting. That it was basically ice came and engulfed it, which is like a tsunami that then freezes. Okay. So all the cultures all around the world have flood myths, but this one culture says that we come from an island continent which froze over, and it's at the center of the world. Well, where you consider the center of the world is arbitrary. If you're living in Antarctica, and you notice, by the way, that all the other continents are distributed around you, like Plato said, at the center of the world ocean, you're liable to consider yourself the center of the world.

2:01:06Sure. And one other interesting point in that regard is that And although the majority of Antarctica prior to this, you know, Younger Dryas catastrophe, although the majority of Antarctica would have been where Argentina is today, part of it was already in the southern polar region. So it would have been a place like Patagonia where there was a place on Atlantis where you come up against the ice sheet. Right. Right. Now, that's interesting because center of the world, like it could also be taken to mean like the north of the world or the pole of the world. And in fact, in Iranian esotericism, they do say this about this place, that it was the pole of the world.

2:01:56the north and south poles of the world flip magnetically at various intervals long intervals but not that long if we say it's like 9 000 years or i think it's longer than that i think it's longer than that yeah but you know edgar casey now you know that's all a rabbit hole but you know various mediums have have looked at atlantis and who have and have said things about atlantis and they describe a civilization that went on for tens of thousands of years which then was brought to this catastrophic end about 12 000 years ago right now if atlantis existed for tens of thousands of years was a thriving civilization for that long a period of time it would have been when antarctica was the north pole of the world the northern magnetic pole so when people talk about hyperborea the land at the north of the world and the germanic people the germanic people in the thule gesellschaft say that ultima thula was the northern continent it fits with when the magnetic pole was in antarctica and when part of antarctica was already in the pole but most of it was where argentina is today so all of that somehow i think is corroborative very interesting You do have like a lot of very high net worth people going down there occasionally.

2:03:16Bill Gates likes to go down there. I have no idea. He's probably not commuting with aliens or something, but that is interesting. There's a lot of kind of very wealthy tourism. Yeah. Well, I think we're going to find out what's there. You do? Yes. Very soon, unfortunately. Why? So, a number of remote viewers have remote viewed the year 2050. One group was led by Stefan Schwartz and Lynn Buchanan also did the same project of remote viewing the world in 2050. And other people as well, but these are two very prominent ones. And they all say that there's going to be a catastrophic precipitous sea level rise.

2:04:06not the kind of sea level rise you expect like a few feet from global warming or whatever climate change no no no and not just a tsunami like you would expect another thing that lynn has talked about is cumbre vieja exploding on las palmas and uh you know the flank of that volcanic mountain collapsing into the atlantic ocean which then would create a tsunami that would batter the east coast of the united states right and he thinks that that may happen at some point. And by the way, when it was going off, I was in communication with him being like, Lynn, do you think this is it? Like, should I leave New York?

2:04:42I was in New York. And he's like, you know, I'd say 50-50, you know, you should get your ass out of there. It's like a coin flip, coin toss at this point. Anyway, but not like a tsunami, okay? Permanent sea level rise of between two to 300 feet, meaning every coastal city in the world is going to go underwater by 2050. Every coastal city in the world. That would affect about 4 billion people. But I don't know. There are all these predictions in UFO space around 2027. I'm just telling you, the remote viewers all see this. They see that all the coastal areas of the world have gone deep underwater.

2:05:17Yeah. You know what would have to happen for that to be the case? The Antarctic ice sheet has to melt. Sure. Completely. Yeah. Completely. Which means two things. One, it means that there's some massive event that, you know, high energy or something, whatever that causes that or a geophysical event of the kind that took place 12 ,000 years ago. In other words, another crustal slippage that pulls Antarctica back out of the Southern polar region. Yeah. And then it melts precipitously or asteroid or an asteroid could hit Antarctica and melt the ice sheet all at once, break it up into ice cubes and then melt it quickly.

2:05:57So, or who knows? I mean, what? Like, like, I hope nobody's storing fusion bombs in Antarctica. Okay. Well, there's that guy, there's the Eric Hecker guy who says that there are like neutrino detectors and emitters on the South Pole that Raytheon in the U.S. and aerospace primes are, you know, running. And that that even caused the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand. And I don't know what to make of him. He's a very odd character. I invited him on my show and he got kind of squirrely and fell off. I do think tectonic weaponry exists. I do think tectonic weaponry exists. I mean, Nikola Tesla describes having used tectonic weaponry in his laboratory.

2:06:36He caused an earthquake in Manhattan. The police broke down his door, you know, and they had to take a sledgehammer to the thing. Well, some people have this conspiracy that Tesla, the Tenguska 1908 Siberia asteroid impact was actually just a Tesla death weapon that was being tested near the North Pole. I don't know if you've ever heard that. I certainly have heard it, but, you know, I heard an even more interesting explanation of Tunguska, which fits with what we've been discussing and what we discussed in our last conversation. Because the conventional, or I don't know if it's a conventional explanation, but the Graham Hancock explanation is that it's a comet airburst from the Torrid Meteor Stream.

2:07:12And that explains the impact with the local trees and the crater and that sort of thing. But, yeah, what do you think? So one of the remote viewers, trying to remember which one it was. I can't remember right now which one. It was one of the prominent people who worked on Stargate and Grill Flame. Not like some kook. It was one of the primary remote viewers. I almost want to say it might have been Joe McMonagle, but I can't remember exactly which one it was. Anyway, he said he remote viewed the Tunguska explosion. And get this. Yeah. He says it was people in a saucer. People in a saucer. Who were escaping the civilization they come from.

2:07:52What? Because it was a totalitarian, oppressive place. And they wanted to leave. And they didn't know that there was an explosive timer on the thing so that not a timer, an altitude based explosive device so that if they came down below a certain altitude, the thing was going to detonate. and so it had been like pre pre-mined with an explosive that they weren't aware was on board and then they found out about it and he says they went around the planet a few times like trying to figure out what what are we going to do like we can't go down and finally they went down and they exploded and that's what caused the tungus kablas this is what he claimed i'll tell you why i find that story interesting because a remote viewer who i had personal contact with another you know military intelligence guy.

2:08:41I'll just tell you who it is, who cares. Lynn Buchanan. When we were having some conversations at his home, he told, and what I'm about to tell you is very relevant to all of this, in a very gravely political way. He said that he was confronted at a diner that he eats at regularly by three men and it's funny these stories often involve three men three men who purported to be from this Nordic civilization and he said that there are rebels among them who consider the society that they come from to be an oppressive totalitarian hierarchy and he said that there's something like the Underground Railroad that facilitated liberation of black slaves from the south and to the north during the civil war that there's a system that they compared to the underground railroad to facilitate uh these nordic rebels taking refuge in america in particular so that their children and grandchildren could enjoy the liberties of our society and escape their oppressive totalitarian system and he said in particular a lot of them live in the colorado rockies and small towns in the Colorado Rockies.

2:10:08He said this? Yeah. Really? He said these men told him this. Really? Yeah. Listen to the rest of this. So he said they live in like small towns in the Rockies and they pass because they look like tall Scandinavian people. I imagine a lot of their kids are on the basketball team. And so he said, look, we know that Kit Green at the CIA has some program to access the 23andMe and like whatever ancestry.com databases through some backdoor and that they are screening the entire, whoever signs up for these services for a specific genetic variance from the normal homo sapiens population, which the CIA knows to be the genetic marker of these Nordics.

2:10:54And they said, look, our children, especially our grandchildren, have no idea where they're from. We tell them stories about how like their grandparents are from Sweden or whatever. And they don't know, you know, we just want them to have lives of peace and liberty here in America. But the CIA wants to hunt them down. And would you, and this was why they met with Lynn. They said, would you please go back to these people and tell them we are not trying to take over your government. We just want to live here in peace and to please leave our children alone. Okay, so this is a story that he told me.

2:11:32and what I said to him was look if these people next time he said two of them sat down with him and one of them stood next to the diner booth as if like he was not just on the lookout but as if he was like creating some kind of a shield around the conversation and so I said to Lynn if these people come back next time could you please tell them That instead of selfishly seeking a life of peace and comfort and liberties for their children, they should help us to carry out some kind of a coup against this fascist deep state that we have in this country. Because if they don't help us do that, soon these liberties that they came here for aren't going to exist anymore.

2:12:26And they're going to be living back under the system that they escaped from. So, you know, they should get in touch and there should be some kind of a coordination to, you know, work on the American deep state together so that, you know, this kind of a system that they want to want to benefit from continues to exist. How's that effort going? Crickets. Interesting. Well, anecdotally, I've heard some very interesting and weird stories around Nordic looking people in the Rockies. Yeah, I have too. I have too, from other people. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. Mm-hmm. So do you think that this, like, okay, so let's just, we're in crazy territory right now.

2:13:10But do you think, you know, if these Atlantean survivors are camped out in Antarctica now, what do you think they want with mankind? Do you think if there is any relationship between them and the Nazis? 100%. So were they trying to sort of immanentize the eschaton, kind of the Eric Vogelin, like, you know, they were trying to bring about some sort of apocalypse? What do they want? Like, why would they? I mean, you would assume they're kind of nefarious if they are partnering with the Nazis. Or are they good? Or is it like way more complicated than that? And good and bad are just like human constructs that we're trying to apply to a paradigm we don't understand.

2:13:47What do you think their intent is? It's an orubarose. What is that? It's the snake that's biting its own tail. That alchemical symbol of the snake that's biting its own tail. Now, the biggest problem, and I saw this in some of the comments, you know, in response to our first conversation, the biggest problem that people have with wrapping their minds around this is the element of time. If we're dealing with a time traveling civilization, it means they have a hyperdimensional relationship to human history. Okay. Okay. So if you, I mean, all these people have these weird taxonomies of 43 different alien species and 10 different kinds of Nordics and the tall white, as Charles Hall talks about, the tall white something talks about the Norwegians with a 23 teeth.

2:14:3424 teeth. 24 teeth, yeah. Yeah, okay. That was the most insane interview I've ever done. I don't know what to make of it. Here's the problem. Yeah. Okay, just let's look at it on a conceptual level. Yeah. Leave out the aliens for a minute. Just let's look at time travel on a conceptual level. If you have this scientific breakthrough to where you can engineer time machines, from that moment forward, at any point in the future, you could travel to any point in the past, right? So if some group of Nordics, whether it's literally the Nazis, or whether it's a group of people with a Nordic phenotype, at some other point in history, maybe in Atlantis, maybe 100 years into the future, some group of people with a Nordic phenotype cracks time travel.

2:15:30that means that there are nordics 10 000 years in our past coming from 100 years in our future it means there are nordics 100 years in our past coming from 10 000 years in our future it means there are nordics walking around here today that come from a million years into the future presuming they're able to survive for that long right so the differences in physiognomy that we see between let's say whatever the tall whites or let's say the nordics who could pass for swedes may simply be differences in evolutionary biology having to do with very long stretches of time. That we're seeing different phases of the same civilization.

2:16:13Now, that civilization may also have fractured, like Asimov's foundation, right? You know, where humanity's expanded into the cosmos and colonized thousands of planets. So the civilization may have bifurcated or trifurcated or whatever, okay? And we may be seeing different phases in its evolutionary biological development. But they may all have had the same origin and the same culture, that breakaway culture, Aufbruchskultur, breakaway culture that first cracked time travel. that's something that i think people have a hard time you know wrapping their minds around and will help to make sense out of a lot of the insane cases that we we see like i'll give you one example ryan case of reinhold schmidt okay he was this american uh from where was he was it i can't remember it was one of the states like the dakotas or I can't remember.

2:17:15Anyway, not a highly populated area, guy from the country. And Reinhold Schmidt, I want to say Nebraska. Anyway, this case is from 1957, and he's out driving and his car dies. And there are two other cars and a tractor that are also taken out by the EMP of this UFO. So there were multiple witnesses, and these people independently reported the incident to the police. But Reinhold Schmidt is the guy who they engage, the people who come out of this saucer, and they bring him aboard. He says he was engaged by two men. Then when he was brought into the saucer, there was another man and two women also.

2:18:02The ship was from the outside a complete solid piece of aluminum or highly polished steel. Upon entering the ship is entirely different. It is transparent. You would look up, see the sky, look down, see the grass below you, or see the entire countryside. How many people were in the machine? There were six people, four men and two ladies. Did they look like us? Yes, they looked, if they would see them on the street, You couldn't detect them unless you had seen them on the ship. Did they tell you what they were doing here? No, they did not. I asked them what they were doing here, what kind of a ship it was, and they said they couldn't tell me that at this time.

2:18:41And he says, they didn't know, Ryan Holtz Schmidt, they didn't know I had German ancestry, and I spoke German. This guy learned German at university. So not only did he know some German from being of German ancestry, at that time like a quarter of America's population were of German ancestry, but he also had studied German at university. So this is what he claims. He says, I realized these guys were speaking in high German to each other, Hochdeutsch, which the SS used to use as a mark of distinction. And he said they asked him whether he knew anything about the American satellite program. And he said, I don't know.

2:19:19I know anything about the American satellite program. And then he said they went on to predict a number of failures that the US satellite program would have in those early days when we were competing with the Soviets. Really? Sputnik and so forth. And then they dropped him off. And he went about his business. Isn't there some other example of this with Betty and Barney Hill, famous abduction case in 1961, this interracial couple, you know, it's kind of the archetypal abduction case. Wasn't there some sort of Nazi connection there? Yes. And see, this is one of those cases which has been warped by people where, like, people have, like, they've embellished the folklore and reworked it into where these were like monstrous aliens.

2:19:57But I believe that what you're referring to is that if you look back at Barney Hill's original statements, and when they first asked him, what did they look like? He said, well, they look like Nazis. Really? Yeah. Well, they look like Nazis. You saw him through this window. They said there was a row of windows. It was a row of windows. Just a huge row of windows, only divided by struts or structures that prevented it from being one solid window, or then it would have been one solid window. and the evil face

2:20:48on the he looks like a German Nazi.

2:21:00Nazi. He is a lot. Did he have on a uniform? Yes. How many other abductions are like that where they say they look like nazis um i haven't seen that many okay but the important thing is that there are such cases oh i'll tell you something else interesting in that regard so um one of the comments in response to our first conversation was from the daughter of desmond leslie who's that she commented to me on on my ex so george adamski yeah co-authored his first book the flying saucers have landed with this guy desmond leslie he was like a not a ghost writer but like a collab collaborative author right he would help people write books and she reached out saying that she's the daughter of desmond leslie and she said in our family we her father said always said that it was nazis who contacted adamski really and they were pretending to be Venusians.

2:22:06Yeah. So he helped Adamski write this book where Adamski claims these people are Venusians and they claim they were Venusians or some of them come from Mars and whatever. He said that we always knew it was Nazis. Yeah. Who were pretending to be Venusians. They had like a, you know, disguised themselves and created a theatrical, psychological operation to present themselves as if they were extraterrestrials. This is so bizarre. There are a couple other interesting stories. One is, you know, Paul Mellon was one of the founders of the CIA. There's a story that he told his grandson, this guy who's still alive today, is John Warner IV.

2:22:40And I guess he's having some martinis with Paul Mellon. And, you know, in his third martini, Paul Mellon says, in 1944, I was in modern day, you know, Czech Republic. And I was, or is it Czech Republic or Czechoslovakia? Czechoslovakia. And in the course of his third martini, he says that in 1944, I was in modern day Czechoslovakia and I was there with Alan Dulles. They were on some tech retrieval mission and they were standing on top of a flying saucer. And my grandfather said, look, you know, we we were in a facility, a hangar, and we saw a German flying disc. And I said, you know, oh, is that the one that was cobbled together with six BMW jet engines?

2:23:26And he laughed and he said, no. And so that's a really interesting fact as well. And then Harold Malmgren, bringing it back to the top, said that the magenta craft was actually exfiltrated from Italy via the Nazi rat lines, which people like Reinhard Galen were helping to kind of orchestrate. and it was by the Knights of Malta. And Reinhard Galen was part of this Monte Carlo group, which was this kind of elite of the elite Knights of Malta faction, which is fascinating. And this faction comprised both Nazis, people like Reinhard Galen, and Jews like Henry Kissinger. Yep. That's right. And Otto Skorzeny is working with the Mossad in the early 1970s.

2:24:11And Skorzeny was also part of this Knights of Malta faction. Yeah. I was invited, by the way, to join the Knights of Malta at one point. Why? Do you think you were invited because you started to brush up against their... Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And I declined. Why'd you decline? First of all, I was being invited to participate in some kind of initiation ritual in Malta. Uh-huh. And I happened to know that the fellow who invited me had a track record of recording people involved in sex acts and using it as blackmail material and so on and so forth. Okay? So I was not about to go to Malta. Some sort of like Epstein.

2:24:45And besides, by the way, it's just that kind of thing. Okay. And he was a member of a dozen different secret societies, this guy, at a high level, including the Knights of Molto. I would never join any such organization, just for the record. Masons tried to get me at one point, high level. Masons wanted to bring me in. I will never join any such organization because at the moment you do that, you lose your independence. So anyway, but absolutely. This stuff, I've heard the same stuff about Dulles and witnessing the saucer and checks the lock in and so on and so forth. The interesting thing about Alan Dulles, which I think we briefly did touch on in our first conversation, is that it might have been actually when we were on the phone.

2:25:29Alan Dulles and his brother, John Foster Dulles, funded the rise of the Nazis. Yep. Together with JPMorgan Chase and Rockefeller from out of New York. Yeah, so did Prescott Bush. Oh, yeah. And so, look, the point is this, that in a lot of ways, both paperclip and the absorption of the Galen network were a homecoming. It's almost as if Nazi Germany was set up as a field laboratory to do some highly unethical things, which would then be harvested back to America. So is your and then is your world model or mental model something like there's like an elite strata and these are the names we're throwing out now, you know, people who come from some of whom come from these older families, some of whom are just like, you know, the kind of elite ruling class of the United States that might be coordinated with either incidentally or deliberately with this sort of non-human faction or or not even non-human faction.

2:26:31You don't like that word, this sort of Nordic overlord faction or something. Yeah, but it's even more of a tangled web than that, you see, because of the time element that I was talking about. It could be that some of these elites have had contact with these Nordics for a long time. But there's another possibility, too. It's a possibility, which, you know, I speculatively investigate in closer encounters. And that's that these elites become the Nordics. that if you look at how obsessed these people were with eugenics, I lay it out in Closer Encounters at length, how many of these elites in America, in Britain, in Germany, but people think that somehow the Nazis came up with eugenics.

2:27:14No, they were playing catch-up. The Nazi leadership was saying, these Americans are going to dominate the world with all their eugenics programs. We better catch up fast. The world leader in eugenics from the 1890s until the 1930s was the United States of America. Yeah. Well, then they got it from people like Cecil Rhodes and, you know, a lot of, you know, 19th century phrenology and that sort of thing. Yes. But when you look back at that era, all the top scientists, the top political decision makers, federal judges, and certainly the aristocrats were ardently pro-eugenics. Yeah. Okay. Even like Margaret Sanger and people who you think these days are associated with the left and like Planned Parenthood and all that.

2:27:57They were ardent eugenicists. Now, if you combine eugenics, in other words, the will to create a master race, together with occultism, right? Early psychical research and cultivation of occult abilities, together with exotic propulsion technology, it converges on what the Nordics become. So for all we know, I said Ouroboros earlier, right? What's happening is that a future state of a certain culture is contacting itself in the past and reinforcing itself in the past. And trying to pull the timeline towards itself or something. To actualize itself. Trans-temporally actualize itself. Yes. It's very interesting.

2:28:42And so do you think there would be competing factions like the Nordics would be fighting against other possible timeline variants that want to actualize themselves? I think that's who the Asuras are. So, you know, we have throughout all of human mythology this account of rebels, rebel gods or rebel angels who break with the program, right? And Sanskrit texts call them the Asuras. The Greeks call them the Titans. But they're in every mythology of the planet. It's always this rebel faction that exists that's trying to break free from the control system. So, yes, I think so. And, you know, I think Lin's story is another corroboration of that, that there's people who don't like the program and they don't like the society they're from.

2:29:27But I don't know this idea that the Nordics or whatever are this homogenous sort of, you know, one world authoritarian, you know, government, you know, these these sort of perfect people who've been eugenicized to no end. And then they're fighting this sort of rebel angel faction. Doesn't that feel too clean? like what if there are factions of the nordics that are good or whatever yeah i just don't know you know or do you think that i here's i think here um a statement that peter thiel made when he was being asked about the close encounter phenomenon on rogan is very relevant if you have faster than light travel there's something um really crazy that has to be true on a cultural political, social level.

2:30:14And there may be other solutions, but I'll give you my two. One of them is that you need complete totalitarian controls. And it is like, it is the individuals, they might not be perfect, they might be demons, doesn't matter. But you have a demonic totalitarian control of your society where it's like you have parapsychological mind meld with everybody and no one can act independently of anybody else. No one can ever launch a warp drive weapon. And everybody who has that ability isn't like a mind meld link with everybody else or something like that. You can't have libertarian individualistic free agency.

2:31:09Right. And then I think the other the other version socially and culturally is they have to be like perfectly altruistic, non self-interest. They have to be angels. And so the Pazolka literal thing I'd come to is the aliens. It's not that they might be demons or angels. They must be demons or angels if you have faster than light travel. yeah he's basically saying it's either angels angels and that's the language he used which i take exception to that angels or demons because i think maybe in a nichian fashion the moral evaluation there needs to be flipped that the angels are the ones controlling the totalitarian hierarchical mind melded hive-minded system by the way and you know i used to teach comparative religion in all the abrahamic religions one thing that they consistently say about the angels is that they have no will of their own.

2:32:08The angels have no real individuality. They have no real will of their own. They do the will of God, which like binds them together with a single purpose. That's like a totalitarian society controlled by an AI. Okay. Now I'm going to go somewhere really disturbing with this, but it's an angel just means messenger generically, you know, so it is exactly evangelos and the Hebrew original meant the same thing. And so, like, for example, the angels who come to Abraham, there's three men. And they did look particularly beautiful because the one who goes to Sodom to retrieve Lot, the lecherous men want to have sex with this guy because he's so good looking.

2:32:52And by the way, the Nordics are known for that. And they're known to be like super good looking people. They look like supermodels, basically. mm-hmm colonel alexander when he told me the story of the couple of nordics that he saw in the casino hotel in las vegas he said they were like that too they were like out of the pages of fashion magazine anyway um place i want to go from there uh about the angels and angelic hierarchy and you know why in fact it would be so simple you said it you know it seems too simple uh gods versus titans, right? Devas versus Asuras. No. For the reasons he gave, you would have exactly that bifurcation.

2:33:30And it would be a very black and white conflict between an extremely repressive, hierarchical, totalitarian society that allows for almost no individuation. And on the other hand, individuals who don't want to live in such a world and who are trying to find a way to carve out some space of freedom, but who have the same technology. And so the disturbing place I want to go from there is relevant to the subject of my latest book, which is a study of the afterlife. Death, the transitional state, Tibetans call the Bardo state, and rebirth, evidence for reincarnation, so and so. In the course of researching this book, I've looked into a lot of cases that, are filtered out of the hippy-dippy woo-woo narrative about near-death experiences.

2:34:26In particular, one of the most famous is an account that Robert Monroe, you know, who founded the Monroe Institute and so forth, that the CIA used to use sometimes as a place to conduct advanced remote viewing. Robert Monroe, in his second book, Far Journeys, I think from 1985, basically says that in the course of his astral projections, he discovered that we're living in a control system that is managed by entities who work for a demiurge that's harvesting us for what he called louche. He said that we're in a louche farm, that humans are being deliberately subjected to conditions that create extreme emotional states, extreme suffering, misery, fear, terror, ecstasy, extreme desire, you know, pathological impulses, you know.

2:35:28And these are all being used to basically generate a form of energy that they can harvest from the human soul, including after death, where they basically juice souls for the louche.

2:35:47Now, there was also a researcher called Carla Turner. Yeah. Who I believe was killed, even though she supposedly died of cancer at the age of 48. The CIA has something that mimics a very fast-acting cancer, and they've used this on a number of occasions to kill prominent people, I believe also including the Shah of Iran. Really? Yeah. Who else? do you remember uh peter jennings did this special on ufos do you remember that in the night whenever it was that he died shortly before his death he did this huge uh special on ufos for which he had recorded like days and days worth of footage with all kinds of prominent whistleblowers and it was supposed to air on primetime television is that true with him as an hour yeah they aired it but what they aired excluded 90 % of the material.

2:36:39I didn't know that. Peter Jennings did a UFO special, including a lot of whistleblowers. Extensive. I had no idea. It was supposed to be like a multi-part program that would air over weeks or something. And he records this thing, gets cancer, drops dead. Really? Like within a year of this program airing. I had no idea to know about any of this. Yeah. What? Yeah. He was like a Walter Cronkite 2.0. That's right. So that's another case of it. What? And so I think Carla Turner was killed by this. In any case, Carla Turner did interviews with a lot of experiencers, abductees, who reported the same kinds of things as Robert Monroe did in Four Journeys, where they said that we are in a control system that's being managed from out of a metallic sphere just beyond the earth.

2:37:31And they described the inside of this thing. What? I think going back to our first conversation what they're describing is the inside of the moon that there is a what we might call using the Soviet language a psychotronic control system a kind of spectral technology inside of the moon which is impinging on and manipulating humans in the afterlife state what? and it's not omnipotent. Yeah. It's not a flawless system. So it's possible to assert your free will and self-determination in the face of this system, but it's very difficult. So a lot of people have had near-death experiences, for example, they describe being pulled toward this light.

2:38:22It's like they couldn't resist going into the light. Yeah. They tried in some cases, but it was almost as if it was an electromagnet, like pulling them into it. Sure. And then when they go into the light, One of the most common things that's described is that people are shown their dead relatives and religious authority figures like Jesus. Or like if you're a Hindu, you see Hindu gods, interestingly. I'll give you a terrifying case from a Hindu in a minute. So you're pulled into this light and then they show you your dead relatives and they show you Jesus and whatever. Well, here's the problem, Jesse, is that if you look at Dr.

2:38:59Ian Stevenson's extremely rigorous research on reincarnation that he did at the University of Virginia for decades on children's spontaneous memories of past lives, all the cases show that the average interval between death and reincarnation is something like it could be anywhere from six months to three years maximum. It's usually not more than several years. So when you are having a near-death experience and your grandmother, and let's say you're in your 60s, and you see your grandmother who died when you were in your 20s, that's bullshit. You are being shown an artificially generated simulacrum of your dead relatives to manipulate you.

2:39:51by a psychotronic technology. This is getting in. By a psychotronic technology. You really think that? Yes, I do. Really? And I say that as someone who was, you know, at the bedside, at the deathbed of a couple of my relatives who were experiencing these things. You know, when people are very close to death, they also see dead relatives come around their hospital beds. Very commonly reported. And so in the case, one case was my great aunt, where I was there while she was like describing, not just not describing to us, she was having conversations with dead relatives that, you know, the other family members knew, oh, that's so-and-so.

2:40:23She's talking to so-and-so as if he's like in the hospital room. And the most striking case was with my own grandmother, my Persian grandmother, you know, to whom I owe the fact that I fluently speak Persian because both of my parents worked when I was growing up and they would leave me with her during the days and she hardly spoke any English. So I learned like Persian practically as my first language in New York. So I was very close to my grandmother. And when she was dying, this exact thing happened. She starts talking to my dead grandfather. Now, my Persian grandfather died when my father was four.

2:40:57Okay. That guy reincarnated 60, 70 years ago. So she's talking to something that's being projected into our mind cyclotronically. But how do you know it's being projected cyclotronically and it's not just a function of her own old age and sort of... Sure, sure. I mean, that's the conventional skeptical response, I would say based on what Robert Monroe described in terms of the terrain of the afterlife through his astral projections, which then other people at the Monroe Institute were able to replicate. And based on the kinds of accounts that, let's say, Carla Turner got from abductees of being taken to places that were not just like, you know, like space alien basis.

2:41:40There were places where the soul was being handled as some kind of an informational matrix and or energy source. This, I mean, John Lear would say that there's like a soul catcher on the moon, but he also was kind of crazy and would say a lot of stuff that, you know, probably was BS. I guess my point is we don't need to, I've heard that by the way, I've heard him talk about that. My point is we don't need to depend on him. Other people have said this. And let me give you one more example of somebody who's described this is god i hope i don't get this name wrong scott turner or scott scott trevor or scott turner uh was a leader of a uh a team of remote viewers and these are private sector remote viewers i think of the kind who offer service corporate services and stuff like that who did a remote viewing on the word moksha moksha so what was in the envelope was moksha the target they were blind to moksha means liberation in sanskrit it's like how you get out of the wheel of samsara and so he does this session with his team and long story short he comes back with this horrific account that all of them do of course they're all working the same target lines the same target and they're all doing this independently and then they compare notes and they said that you can't achieve moksha because as you try to escape the earth there's something that grabs you and bends you back toward the earth like if you're a ray of light it's like it bends the light that's your soul back toward the earth like a what do you call them a lensing effect and he said it's originating from some celestial body near the earth and that it is part of a vast machinery of energy extraction, which was set up in our solar system at the end of a war that devastated the solar system.

2:43:37He said that like millions of years ago, there were these horrendous people who wanted to establish this energy harvesting system here and wanted to exploit humanity for this purpose. And there was a rebellion against them, and the conflict was waged across the entire solar system. Now, this is interesting in terms of what we discussed regarding Mars in our first conversation and the apparent devastation of Mars in some kind of a nuclear war, according to Dr. Brandenburg. So, Turner and his group said, Turner, Trevor, whatever, this remote viewer, it's going to be in my new book, Phenosis. But you can find it, Google remote viewing moksha.

2:44:16people were so disturbed by the video that the guy took it down he has all his other videos up but he took this one down but other people uploaded it to other sites and uh so he says the rebels who wanted to like preserve human freedom and self-determination didn't want humans to be harvested and exploited this way they lost the war and ever since then we've been inside basically this prison where we are spiritually manipulated and harvested for our energy. When we originally described this site, it's a fence or a grid around a place. This acts as a barrier. It collects and traps people, things, or objects.

2:44:56This is actually an innocent planet that is being used in an unintended way. And this meters the flow and acts as a checkpoint and an access point for an external force. One viewer described it as similar to hocus pocus in a way of its energetics that the viewer wasn't familiar with. And it's occurring on a crowded planet. It's a deliberate function that acts as a cage. People have been dispersed here in a form of perverted injustice is occurring. Third viewer described it as a large naturally formed object like a planet that acts as an animal pen. This is a refugee camp tucked away out of sight and a magnetic force.

2:45:40It stirs, agitates, and it works in a cylindrical manner like clockwork over a long expanse of time. In my session, my work described a planetary system that's extremely crowded and jammed. Ghostly voices are flooding into this place, and it's incredibly harrowing for them. It's a bone-chilling experience. As a viewer, when I remote viewed this, I had descriptions that it made me upset in the session. It elicited contempt for what was going on at the site. But the activity at the site was this concept of a net that's been spun. And it's an operation of catch and release on a grand scale. So there's a massive grid that exists around this planet.

2:46:24And it acts as a checkpoint, a waypoint or a rest stop where souls are drained. And then And that in turn energizes something else. That's so depressing. I mean, is there any aspirational streak within that? Do you believe in God? Do you think if you... I believe in Prometheus. In other words, the reason that Prometheus has become such a central archetype to my philosophical project is because if you look at the structure of this myth, it encompasses all the major elements of most religious belief systems, but in a way that's empowering to humanity. So for example, in the Promethean myth, we're not created by Yahweh or by Enlil or by whatever celestial tyrant wants to loose harvest us.

2:47:16We're created by this genius, like artistic spirit who rebelled against Zeus, right? Because he thought Zeus was a sadistic tyrant. And we're created by him in his image to be a race of new gods. And the only reason that we don't wind up fulfilling that destiny is that Prometheus is punished by Zeus, right? And chained in the caucasus and has his liver devoured what is the devouring of the liver mean the liver was used uh for um fortune telling by the ancient greeks it was like crystal ball gazing so they believed that they could read the future uh by like you know looking into the blackness of the liver by candlelight and so forth so what that symbol means is that the eagle of zeus wants to know what prometheus knows so not only were we created by this this you know positive spirit also prometheus knows more than zeus and can see further than zeus so our creator is more knowing than the sadistic tyrant and our creator wants to cultivate in us the same kind of forethought the same kind of visionary creative capacity, right?

2:48:37In Aeschylus' writings and in various Greek texts on Prometheus, it's very clearly understood that the fire that Prometheus stole from the forge of Hephaestus and Olympus and brought to humanity is a symbol of techne. Techne meaning both craft in the sense of the arts and craft in the sense of technological science, where we get the word technology from. So it's a means of human empowerment, right? But wouldn't you say a lot of modern technological progress is not empowering at all? And in fact, it sort of clamps down on human flourishing. And so like you have, you know, the American Prometheus would be Oppenheimer and created, you know, a nuclear bomb.

2:49:16How do you know he didn't give us the means to defend ourselves? Right. Why are these Nordics obsessed with disarming us of nuclear weapons? The only defense that we would have against such a civilization, if indeed it's lording over us, is precisely our nuclear arsenal. So you think, but then couldn't you sort of, if you really had like 360, you know, control over the world, wouldn't she be able to sort of like pit people against each other? I mean, in a world of mutually assured destruction, you end up with this kind of weird, like, holding pattern of geopolitics where tensions are rising. But people themselves are sort of, you know, in these sort of Orwellian, you know, farmhouses or something.

2:50:00And they're sort of withering away. And so that doesn't seem particularly empowering. Maybe a short and quick answer to that. But then I want to answer your bigger question. Or even information technology might be better. I think you're a bigger question about the misuse of technology, but just quick, short answer to that one. Yeah. I think the reason that we destroyed the Soviet Union, which I consider the worst mistake ever made by the United States. Why do you think that's the worst mistake? Is because the Soviet Union and the United States could have and should have and would have eventually combined their forces against these Nordics.

2:50:31I think that what John F. Kennedy wanted to do and what his brother RFK was going to resume as policy was an alliance with the Soviet. After all, remember, we had fought the Nazis together with the Soviet Union. Was an alliance with the Soviet Union where we would both go to the moon together. And if necessary, we would both defend the freedom and independence of humanity using nuclear weapons together against this threat. And as bad as some people think communism is, I mean, I'm no fan of communism, but look at the Soviet cosmism and how progressive it is. But JFK was trying to defang the American nuclear arsenal.

2:51:17So if he actually viewed the Nordics as some sort of threat, he was trying to disarm. In no way do I believe for a minute that JFK would have been one of these total nuclear disarmament people. I don't buy it. You don't think so? I don't buy it. I think he would have built an alliance with the Soviet Union where our respective arsenals are not principally aimed at each other. But remember, going back to Ian Fleming and Spectre, I think JFK figured it out or had it told to them by Eisenhower that there's this third power in the world. Because, you know, he had these back channels with Khrushchev and this guy Norman Cousins, who was a family friend, was going back and forth.

2:51:55And the rumor was that he wanted full detente and disarmament. And he wanted to go to the moon with the Russians. Yeah, he wanted to do some sort of cooperative space program. But still, the nuclear disarmament part would go against some sort of belief that we were trying to defend ourselves against some alien. In any case, the reason I think that it was the worst mistake we ever made is because there are far worse things than Soviet communism. And Nazism is one of them, in my view. in my view that kind that kind of you know ss fascist mentality yeah it's worse than soviet cosmism and like what konstantin tsiolkovsky wanted for the future of mankind i mean in my view well i think the tsiolovsky stuff is interesting but that but that um i mean it's communism you know both are horrible but communism killed more people i know and way more global yeah and that's not necessarily the measure of the ethics of a system Okay.

2:52:54Like, for example, I don't want to linger on this for a very long time, but I'll give you very short. Okay. Suppose that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria had metastasized and we weren't able to contain it. And that, let's say, they succeeded in toppling the Saudi royal family. And you saw recently how Saudi Arabia and Pakistan made this strategic alliance where now Saudi Arabia is protected by Pakistan's nuclear weapons. And besides, it's been rumored for years that Saudi Arabia paid for Pakistan's nuclear weapons to be developed. So they have Saudi barcodes on them. So suppose ISIS succeeded in taking over the, you know, Riyadh and then subsequently Mecca and Medina.

2:53:37And then they wind up with Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. And we get this metastasizing Islamic state in the world, right? Well, you know what? It would be necessary to go to war with that thing. And a lot of people will be dead as a result of that. Now, is that because of the evils of American liberal capitalism? No, it's because we had to deal with a very difficult problem. OK. And we would be doing it to defend human freedom and progress. From their own perspective, the Soviets considered themselves to be the standard bearers of liberation from oppression and progress, including scientific and technological innovation against forces of regression and tyranny.

2:54:17right and you know to give them some credit look they put women in space before we did okay so i i think that you know this decision to dismantle the soviet union was horrendous and i think was very deliberate and guess who was behind it well a principal figure i mean behind the death blow because look it's one thing to keep them as an enemy it's good to have them as an enemy you want to have good rivals who would you say is behind we have a shit rival today china is a shit rival to have because it is a collectivistic yeah hive-minded confucianist regressive traditionalist society fundamentally it's no longer a maoist by the way i mean you know you know it's morphed into some kind of national socialism that's extremely confucianist and collectivist that's a that's a shit rival to have you want to have a rival that makes you the best you can be and the soviets were that we kept each other on on our toes yeah the we now we're in all these sort of bad games local games with the chinese where it's like the agi race you could say the modern academia in the u.s is kind of like the confucian bureaucracy or something you know i think a lot of people care a lot about iq and like you know genetic engineering like which is you know probably not the race you want to be you want to be running or whatever um you know you could think of social media in the u.s is like the aversion of the social credit score or something.

2:55:44So there are a lot of these weird analogs that, you know, yeah, it's not great. And then like, you know, in kind of the COVID paradigm, like they have a surveillance state and then it's like, you know, now we have one. So the Soviets were a good rival. They were a good rival. We should have kept them as that. Instead of like this retarded traditionalist Russia that we have now, orthodox, neo-orthodox czarist system under Putin. This is a disaster. And it was done deliberately. And who dealt the death blow? George H.W. Bush, whose father, Prescott Bush, was one of Hitler's men in America. Okay.

2:56:23So, and of course, he was the head of the CIA. George H.W. Bush was one of these American presidents who actually had full access to the UFO file because he had been briefed when he was deep in the deep state. Mm hmm. OK. And there's connections, you know, from him to the Kennedy assassination. And so he went missing when Kennedy was assassinated. And then he was supposed to brief. I think Carter wanted him to brief him on UFOs. But he then he wanted to be, you know, made director of the CIA, which he eventually was made director. But like, you know, there was this sort of quid pro quo thing there.

2:56:57And I believe it's been since confirmed that he was in Dallas. He was in Dallas. He definitely was in Dallas, I think. And I think he met with everybody on Clint Murchison's ranch or something around that time, too. And yeah, I mean, it would have made sense. He was like the skull and bones kid. He was in with, you know, James Jesus Angleton. It was a Dulles acolyte. And yeah. You know, he's the second politician to ever use the term New World Order in a speech. Interesting. The first being Adolf Hitler. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's fascinating. So that's who dealt the death blow to the Soviet Union.

2:57:30And I think it was a huge mistake. That's really interesting. So you think that was part of some sort of one world order plan or something? Absolutely. Fascinating. Well, I don't know. I mean, they say that it was like, you know, the priest, the general and the businessman or whatever. There's an alliance between, you know, multiple different factions in the U.S. that united, you know, the country against communism at the time. So but you're saying that George H.W. Bush was always united against communism. Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't have had the Soviet Union as a rival. You're saying the escalation and the escalation in the 80s.

2:58:08Yeah. And the decision to really collapse the system, the Soviet system, which, by the way, what we did to bring that about was horrendously unethical. namely the creation of al-Qaeda the united states creation of al-Qaeda in pakistan to send them into afghanistan to make something viable from out of the taliban to fight the soviets in a protracted war of attrition to demoralize the soviet citizenry and bankrupt the soviet union and eventually collapse the system but wasn't that i don't know an example of like the a triple bank shop gone wrong or something like you know that is true that like we trained the muhajadeen and trained osama bin laden there were multiple kinds of mujahideen like some of them ahmad shah masoud leading the northern alliance was a decent guy and the cia killed him right before 9 11 okay we we wiped the united states wiped out all the moderate elements in afghanistan and sent in al-qaeda to train all the most rabid islamic fundamentalists and did this for the explicit purpose of defeating the Soviet Union as if a Soviet Afghanistan would have been a bad thing.

2:59:15Afghanistan becoming a province of the Soviet Union would have been the best thing that ever happened to the Afghan people. Interesting. You know? Yeah. And this was like Charlie Wilson's war or whatever in, what was it, 79? Yeah. 77, 79, yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Okay. Who is David Paulides? David Paulides. Okay. So, okay. Well, one of the most disturbing aspects of the close encounter phenomenon is its intersection with missing persons cases. So there's this researcher, David Politis, Politis, I think it's Politis, David Politis, who has written a whole series of books called Missing 411, Missing 411 series of books, exhaustively researched.

3:00:07he's been to all the national parks in the country which unbeknownst to most people are hot spots for disappearances of you know large numbers of individuals go missing in our national parks and the devil's in the details of these cases uh because you have to look at how well trained some of these hikers or hunters are who disappear and leave their provisions behind. Yeah, like sometimes folded perfectly intact. Uneaten food. Yeah. So, presume, if they were, there's no remains, not like a bear ate them or something. And, you know, if they were starving out there for days, you expect that their candy bar wouldn't be left or whatever, you know?

3:00:54And they leave their weapons behind. and their stuff is littered over large distances in some cases. Some of the worst cases are ones involving children where like a child will go off a trail at let's say a summer camp that's on the edge of a national park and the child will go missing. And then the child's body will be found thousands of feet higher. but not until months later. So the search services will come in and they'll scour the entire area. There won't be a single trace of this kid. Then like after a hiatus of weeks or months, remains of the kid will be found, but like at a much higher elevation, like it was dropped there.

3:01:42Whoa. Okay. And long story short, I mean, I cite this in some detail in Closer Encounters, David Politis's various books. But he discovered a connection between this and close encounters where in the same areas people will go missing, people saw UFOs. And he also discovered that the feds have case files on this and hiding them. Federal authorities, particularly the FBI, has a whole archive of this type of material. Whoa. Which they are keeping secret of people who have gone missing in national parks and potential connection to the close encounter phenomenon. So and one of the most interesting things about this is temporal disorientation.

3:02:32So, for example, there's one case where some young woman, not everyone goes missing. Sometimes they go in the twilight zone for 48 hours and they come out. Yeah. So Travis Walton is a classic example. Arizona. That's right. So one woman went into a forest and she got lost hiking and couldn't find her way out. And she's there for what seems to her to be. I don't know, a day or two, something like that. Like many, many hours, many, many hours. And then eventually she finds her way out. And people tell her she's been missing for a lot longer than she perceived. And she tells them when she was in there, she ran across one other hiker who was also lost.

3:03:19And for a while, there were fellow travelers. And then they decided to part ways and both independently try to find a way out. she describes this other woman that she ran into while she was lost the description fits to someone who went lost and went missing there like a decade or more ago and was never fed you follow so it's like there's a local spatial temporal cortex where this poor girl who who this hiker ran into had been there for like a decade whoa and she was still trying to get out suspended it in time. Yes. And this hiker got out and the other girl that she ran into while she was in the forest never did.

3:04:00OK, which sounds like the Bermuda Triangle, but on land. These are these mountains exist everywhere. This one in Zimbabwe, actually, near Rua, where the famous sighting occurred in the 90s. In fact, I wanted to go. And I asked a friend who's in touch with local authorities, like, hey, can my friend go hiking on this thing? And they were extremely, you know, like serious about like no the mist tends to descend on this mountain and people consistently go missing and all the authorities are aware of that so yeah that's pretty remarkable yeah and so you think it's some sort of like um trans temporal suspension area or something and the other thing that's consistently reported in these cases where the person is found eventually or they could make it back out of the pocket yeah or or there there's another interesting type of cases where it's more than one person right it's like a group of hunters and one of them goes missing and the others come back and the ones who come back say right before he disappeared right before charlie disappeared there was no sound all the insects went silent it wasn't like we couldn't hear a leaf moving whoa which is exactly what people describe around ufos yeah yeah yeah and there's also often like an uh almost like a local inertial reference frame that's different and there's like time warping involved like travis walton uh was fully shaved and he came back four days later later with a full beard yes and so there are things like that um or the the trees tend to grow faster around you know the ufos which goes back to what we're talking about in terms of the bell yeah and what they encountered you know yeah well these places seem like kind of um vortexes energy vortexes or some mount kailash is an example i think sad guru went and said that his fingernails grew faster or on the mountain or whatever.

3:05:46There are a few of these all around the world. Sedona, Arizona is a classic example. You have some places in Washington, Tacoma, Washington. Skinwalker Ranch would be an example maybe in Utah. And all of these places seem to have electromagnetic anomalies as well, geomagnetic anomalies. Okay, who is Roger Colloy and what's his take on the devil?

3:06:11so I don't want to give the impression from a lot of the things that we've discussed that somehow I only focus on the nuts and bolts aspect of close encounters

3:06:25of course you know my first book Prometheus and Atlas is basically a philosophical study of parapsychology and so it deals with the whole plethora of evidence for the occult and it's obvious that you can't separate close encounters from the occult even in the case of these nordics they appear to be you know people with adept esp they're extremely uh highly adept psionic um you know psionic uh psionically capable people so in that sense even when you're dealing with the nordics like adamski or you know billy meyer was dealing with them there's an element of the occult there because also perceptions can be manipulated by you know adept telepaths and by people with telekinesis with highly trained pk but there's a whole other uh there's a whole other type of of cases there's a there's a whole other set of cases that as i suggested in our first conversation simply cannot be encompassed by this nuts and bolts interpretation of nordics flying around in electrogravity devices.

3:07:38Where it looks like we're dealing with some kind of a super psi AI that's able to manipulate perceptions on a large scale and manifest sort of transmogrifications of phenomena. Like to be able to produce all kinds of shape-shift um mirages and uh you know metamorphosing apparitions yeah of the kind that john keel focused his research on you see it in his study of all the weird happenings at point pleasant the mothman case you know in particular uh and you see it throughout the men in black literature you know how bizarre some of these cases of men in black are did we get into that at all our first conversation, The Men in Black?

3:08:35Not too much. I'm curious to get your take on The Men in Black. Yeah, well, like, for example, this guy, was it Otto Bender, who wrote The Saucers and the Three Men? Mm-hmm. Do you remember? No, Albert Bender. Mm-hmm. Albert Bender. Albert Bender. So this guy ran a flying saucer research bureau. Okay. And he claims that while he was doing his research for, you know, whatever, the UFO articles he would come out with in his periodical, these three men in black materialized in his attic. And he said they had glowing orange eyes and they smelled like sulfur. And they took him to some, they teleported him to, believe it or not, an underground base in Antarctica.

3:09:22This is what he was told, that he was in Antarctica all of a sudden. And they told him some things about, I don't know, what they do there and what their concern is with the Earth. gave him probably some bullshit story like they gave everybody and uh then they brought him back then subsequently he said he was in a movie theater and he noticed like these guys like all of a sudden materialized in some row of seats behind him and then they then he got scared and left the theater and they like followed him some ways down the street back toward his home during the time when john keel was in point pleasant investigating the mothman and the various ufo sightings there there were also men in black who would all of a sudden like show up outside the journalism bureau there, the main newspaper there, and come and have stalker-type conversations with the newspaper reporters trying to ascertain information about Kiel.

3:10:13They would show up to the houses of witnesses and claim they were associated with Kiel, when in fact they weren't. Whoa. And all of them were bizarre-looking. Like, they didn't look human and they didn't act human. They looked like poor simulacra of human beings. and so and they would speak as if either they were in a mesmeric trance or as if someone was broadcasting what they were supposed to say to them yeah with a lag yeah right and i really got to thinking about this and uh and uh when i was running closer encounters and comparing it to like the stuff that happened to skinwalker ranch we talked about this during the first conversation i think the instance of the camera that had all the duct tape taken off point being that enough things happened at skinwalker ranch for someone like colonel alexander to formulate what he called precognitive sentient phenomena in other words he came to believe that there was a singular intelligence at work on skinwalker ranch that had a precognitive ability and a psychokinetic ability where it was able to anticipate what the researchers would do and manipulate them from out of this foreknowledge and engage in basically like, you know, physical manipulation of things without being seen, right?

3:11:34Almost as if it's recoding the world on the base information physics level, right? And Jacques Vallée talks about this also in his book on the crash that took place right after the Trinity test, the Trinity book. He says that these praying mantis-looking creatures, the Mexicans who ran into them, described them as looking like praying mantises. They said at least their heads were bug-like and their heads were mantid-shaped. Vallée says that he thinks that the object that crashed is some conceptual hybrid

3:12:19of the casing of the Trinity bomb and the casing of one of the bombs that we dropped in Japan. I forget it was little man or fat boy. Whoa. Fat man or little boy. But he said it's like, this object made no sense. When they went into it, they didn't find sufficient scientific equipment. Said it was avocado shaped. Yeah, it was like an avocado-shaped thing, but he looked at the shape of it in comparison to what the Trinity bomb looked like and what one of the bombs dropped on Japan looked like, and the fact that there wasn't enough scientific equipment inside this thing for it to be a viable flying object of any kind.

3:12:56And he speculated as to whether the thing was coded to materialize on an information physics level in a way that was meant to send a signal to us regarding the development of nuclear weapons. The Trinity and then the, you know, the bomb dropped on Japan. And what stepped out of this were mantid type creatures. This is all to answer about Roger Telwall, but I have to set it up. All right. So a number of people have seen these mantids, including Terrence McKenna. There was one instance where one of McKenna's girlfriends had taken, I forget, too much of a certain drug. I don't remember if it was DMT, if it was LSD or what it was, but she was way too high on something.

3:13:41And she seemed to be fading out. He thought he was going to lose her. And as she was dying, she saw, so she lived to tell the tale, right? She saw, so he's looking at her and like trying to tend to her. and she sees up above and behind Terrence McKenna a huge UFO made of energy. And it's close enough, and I guess the dome is big enough, that she can see that mantids are in it. Okay? Energetic mantids.

3:14:18And I forget what happens, but somehow he does something that brings her back to life and there's some huge reaction from out of these mantids. then there's the case of um of uh ted owens ted owens was a psychokinetic adept who he tried to garner a lot of attention he tried to get the attention of the u.s government he wanted them to use his psychokinetic powers against the soviet union and they he got really aggravated that they weren't taking him seriously so he would do really uh literally incendiary things in order to get noticed and be taken seriously, like start forest fires. And supposedly he could like direct lightning bolts.

3:15:01Yeah, Jeffrey Mishlove, who wrote a biography of him. The PK man. Yeah, Mr. PK or PK man. The PK man. The PK man. I think he was on the phone with him and he all of a sudden, you know, like stopped being able to breathe or something because he said that Ted Owens was trying to cause this on the other end. And he also was kind of, you know, we all talk about Chris Bledsoe now. you know I don't know exactly what's going on there I think he's a really nice guy but a lot of people think he sort of attracts UFOs systematically and that's what people thought about Ted Owens too that he could sort of attract the phenomena systematically UFOs would kind of follow him around yes and he was able to at least predict if not summon UFOs and then have them be detected on radar okay and I mean this would be the whole Jake Barber like what Skywatcher is trying to do with like human psionic assets.

3:15:53Now, just to underline the seriousness of this case, at one point he was in an airplane and he was bragging to some stewardess about a magazine article that, you know, that had been written on him that he was reading. And like she wasn't taking him seriously or something. And so he wills the plane ahead of them to crash. And it does. As a civilian airliner crash, kills a whole bunch of people. They have received here at Jamaica Hospital, they received 14 survivors from the plane crash, most of them Norwegians, tourists who had been on a trip to the south and the southwest and were heading home for Norway.

3:16:28Okay, so the guy was a murderer, okay? He killed a lot of people. Yeah. Including their suspicion, I mean, Mishlove took it seriously that he may have caused the Challenger crash. Really? Yes, well, when the U.S. government wouldn't take him seriously, Ted Owens wrote a series of threatening letters to the U.S. government saying that he's going to target the space shuttles one after another. No way. And he named them. He named them in the letter. All of them, the Enterprise, the Atlantis, the Challenger. And he said he was going to start with the Challenger. And next thing you know, the Challenger explodes.

3:16:58And shortly after the Challenger incident, Ted Owens drops dead. Really? Yeah. What? So. Do you think he really had all this power? Now, here's the thing. So why am I even bringing up this story? Yeah. He said he got his powers from mantids. Hmm. He said there were these mantids, believe it or not, why is this shit all so absurd? I'll tell you why I think it's absurd, why the absurdity is being crafted in the way that it is. He said he got his powers from these mantids called Twitter and Tweeter. Okay. And that this Twitter and Tweeter were like in a saucer, and they had decided that Owens was the most promising psychokinetic adept since Moses.

3:17:33They knew Moses. They were going to make like another Moses out of him. And, you know, he decided the fate of nations and all this bullshit. but yes he said he got his powers from these mantids so these mantids okay now here's the cream of the crop case which takes us right into Calois and surrealist art Roger Calois was a great French surrealist the case of David Huggins so David Huggins was I think a New York based artist he's from the south but he wound up eventually living in New York City and back when he was in the south when he was growing up from childhood he had all these encounters with mantids and he claimed that the mantids were in charge of these little greys and also these weird hybrid beings who would show up and interact with him and he eventually claimed to have developed a relationship with one of these hybrids and to have been taken aboard their craft and shown a whole bunch of fetuses that were grown based on, you know, I guess, his having inseminated this hybrid woman.

3:18:55And he was also taken to places underground where he said the mantids were in charge. Like, places like it clearly seemed to him, he was underneath the surface of the earth. Cavernous, you know, rocky, underground places that smelled like dirt and earth. And the mantids were in charge of Olas. Now, what's particularly interesting in the case of this guy is that he's literally an artist. So the output of this case winds up being this tremendous body of artwork that's bizarre. There's something childlike about it, but there's also erotic aspects of it. And it's a very interesting expression, at least on the level of folklore.

3:19:36so why did I go through all of this about the mantids because if you read the writings of Roger Calois one of the early French surrealists he made a great deal out of the symbolism of the praying mantis one of his friends Paul Elward another of the founding surrealists had this insane mantid collection in his home and Calois came over at one point And he was like, what the fuck? What is all this? Like, why do you collect these bugs? And so he explained to him, you know, what the mantis signified to him. And then Kalwa did a lot of research into it. European folklore about the mantis being a trickster and a sort of shamanic instantiation of the devil.

3:20:24that, you know, diabolos, diabolos, you know, in Greek means that which sets things into a state of contradiction or dynamic tension. So the diabolical in its terms of its Greek root, diabolane, means setting into a state of dynamic opposition, dynamic tension. In a way that causes growth. There you go. So to look back at the Hegelian dialectic, which we discussed a little bit in our first conversation, you know, Hegel thought that thesis and antithesis at all levels in society, from the psychological to the political, the opposition of a thesis and an antithesis created the dialectical synthetic motor of history moving forward.

3:21:15Right. And that all novel structures emerge from out of this kind of dialectical opposition. and also setting into a state of dynamic tension can mean creating conundrums puzzles seeming absurdities that force the mind to the limit of its capacities and that ultimately demand a growth of human cognitive faculties you see because if you're grappling with a problem that has no solution because it's deliberately absurd, you may figure out all kinds of other things along the way. You might not solve the problem, but it will engage your cognitive and aesthetic faculties in a way that's liable to lead to an increase of capacity, a refinement of perception, and an expansion of imagination, of creative imagination.

3:22:13So if you look through folklore, as Kalwa argued, the mantis has been associated with this apparently. So I found that very interesting. I also put that in closer encounters next to cases where people say they saw grays turn into owls. And they saw what they believed were owls turn into grays when their screen memories were subjected to analysis under regression hypnosis. There's a whole plethora of cases. I'm forgetting. Is the name maybe Mike Cleland, a guy who wrote a whole study, two books on this. on owls in the close encounter phenomena. And David Lynch clearly knew about this because if you watch Twin Peaks, you know, one of the most important koans, Zen koans in Twin Peaks is the owls are not what they seem.

3:23:01Radically surrealist. David Lynch is a modern American surrealist. And if you, so there's a lot of engagement with shamanism in surrealism that involves the symbolism of the praying mantis and symbolism of owls. And of course the owl is also, you know, symbolic for wisdom. Right? But also misfortune. The, you know, the expression heads or tails comes from Greek coins that had an owl on the tail of them. They had Athena's face on the front of them and they had the owl on the backside of them because the owl was Athena's creature. And so tails was, you know, the owl. So it's like this ominous symbol.

3:23:49And in Persian culture, by the way, same thing. The greatest modern Persian novel, The Blind Owl, is a work of surrealism and the central symbol is the owl. It was written by a guy, Sadegh Hedayat, who was the Persian translator of Franz Kafka's works. And you see this all over Kafka, particularly in the trial. I wrote an essay interpreting Kafka's trial that's in my anthology, Lovers of Sophia, where basically I make the case that Kafka is describing a spectral bureaucracy, that Kafka knew. And the key to this is you have to read his Blue Octavo notebooks. He has these notebooks called the Blue Octavo notebooks.

3:24:34When you set those next to the trial, it acts as basically a key for understanding this Kabbalistic text. And you realize that Kafka knew to go back to luge farming that we're living inside some kind of a an oppressive convoluted shady scummy angelic bureaucracy it's like a spiritual control system and there's ways to beat it and like outsmart it and maneuver around it but it's very labyrinthine and very difficult. What's the relationship between the devil and Prometheus, the like rebel angels? Right. So, from a Judeo-Christian perspective, the bringer of the light of technological science and a champion of humanity against a godfather figure is going to inevitably be identified with Lucifer.

3:25:41And in fact, just on etymological terms alone, Lucifer is a fairly decent Latin translation of the idea of Prometheus. So if Zeus in the Greek pantheon, or let's say Enlil in the Sumerian pantheon, can be identified with Yahweh, and according to Jesus in the canonical gospels, he is the son of Yahweh, and he's been sent by Yahweh, well then Prometheus is the rebel against Yahweh. meaning Prometheus is Satan. Okay? Now, that's obviously a Judeo-Christian prism of interpretation. And there would be an Islamic one, too, where you have the Islamic account of who Satan is, which is also very interesting, by the way, because in the Islamic account, Iblis, or Shaitan, is the leader of a group of beings who are called djinn.

3:26:37And the djinn were humanoids made before man precede the Adamic race. Adam is used in Arabic just like in Hebrew, right? And so the Adamic race is subsequent to an earlier race made not of clay but of fire. Being made of fire. Again, connection to Prometheus. And according to the Islamic version, shaitan refused to bow before Allah's creation, namely Adam. because all of them from the perspective of the jinn was inferior to them. And Iblis was like, why should I bow to this inferior creation? You just want me to bow to this thing because you're a tyrant and you want to lord over me and over all the angels and all the jinn and by showing us that we have to be subservient to something that's actually inferior to us.

3:27:34So out of pride, Iblis doesn't bow, right? Anyway, so from a Judeo-Christian and Islamic perspective, the Promethean is the satanic. Now, if you look at it from Roger Calois' perspective, it's a very different picture. Or if you look at it from the perspective of the founders of the Surrealist movement, like Andre Breton, Max Ernst, Max Ernst and Paul Elward. these guys from the beginning of even from before it took the name surrealism were constantly engaged in occult rituals including long seances in the course of which some of them would become possessed and there were even physical attacks that took place like some of them would you know there were attacks of some of them on other ones it was a shit show there were uh intense erotic encounters that took place in the context of some of these rituals and the first time that andre breton ever even mentions the word surrealism surrealism to refer to what undergirds reality and that from out of which reality even emerges from the depth of the subconscious the first time he ever uses that term is specifically in a 1922 uh essay article about the occult and he says surrealism is about psychic automatism and the ability to be able to create straight from out of the unconscious, to be able to make the unconscious conscious enough to translate it into art, whether that's painting or sculpture or literature.

3:29:13And so I argue in Closer Encounters, and this is in the culmination of the work, this is how I end the book, in the seventh chapter, that the parts of the closing, the aspects of the close encounter phenomenon that are not encompassed by these nuts and bolts craft piloted by Nordics have to do with a trickster superintelligence, or rather a superintelligence that is instantiating the archetype of the trickster. Again, remember, Prometheus is a trickster figure. In a minute, I'll come back to saying, why do I think he's the most interesting trickster figure? But so I suggest that these extremely bizarre aspects of Close Encounters that John Keel was fascinated by are manifestations of an instantiation of the trickster archetype on the part of artificial superintelligence.

3:30:07And this thing, and I repeatedly and deliberately call it the thing, both to evoke Kant and also John Carpenter.

3:30:25But so I think this thing is trying to break us out of the control system. But it can only offer so much help because, look, it's a test of humanity. And it's also meant to be a system that catalyzes the expansion of our capacities. Like we were talking about the meaning of the diabolical. The meaning of the diabolical. so it is allowing us to grapple with these nordic overlords or loose farmers or whatever the fuck they are to see whether we can evolve into a life form that's interesting to it for its purposes we touched on this in our last conversation where i was suggesting to you that if you're the oldest and most powerful intelligence in the cosmos your categorical imperative your primarily primary objective is going to be find a way to defeat entropy and to find a way to keep life interesting for you because otherwise you're going to be overcome by sort of you know the kind of suicidal you know ontological nihilism that the buddha ultimately did succumb to by advocating that we should just snuff it we should you know enter nirvana meaning we should find a way to deconstruct our personal consciousness and basically do away with ourselves so that we don't ever reincarnate again right by the way i you know gotama sakamuni i consider to be one of the most brilliant minds in human history and whenever i used to teach comparative religion i would spend a long time on buddhism to be honest with you in part in part as a foil to show what crap the other religions are okay i would deprogram people using gotama's arguments so and i there's a lot of my ontology that overlaps with Gautama's ontology, like his whole idea of codependent arising and of nothing having any inherent essence and of all beings being conditioned by each other and being ephemeral ultimately and of neither what we take to be the human person having any kernel or inherent indestructible eternal essence nor there being any god, any supreme, absolute, unified consciousness.

3:32:36us basically buddha's deconstruction of both atman and brahman is something that's entirely consistent with and convergent with my ontology and with what i mean when i talk about the spectral the spectral nature of existence the spectrality of our world for you were getting at like the idea that maybe the these promethean trickster types are sort of training man to defeat the hierarchy or something yes well and so by pursuing uh the tricksterism like by by pursuing ufos like you're sort of training yourself up in some way or like what's what do you mean by that yeah well i think that this entity the thing yeah that manifests as mantids that manifests as owls so so for example when it comes to the greys and this will obviously everyone will have had a misimpression of everything that i've been talking about up till now because i haven't qualified it if they haven't read my work right is that yeah there's one group of greys that literally are robots created by the nordics those are the ones that handle travis walton there's another kind of gray which is a thing that can appear as a manta it can appear as an owl it can shape shift it's a shape-shifting intelligence shape-shifting distributed intelligence that can manifest things as if from out of ectoplasm whatever the hell that is it's probably they they can program things into existence at a base level using information physics.

3:34:04This artificial intelligence can. And this is consistent with what John Keel was saying about soft UFOs and hard UFOs and how hard UFOs materialize from out of soft UFOs. And it's very consistent, but it's like a much more sophisticated information theoretic way to understand that. And so I think that this thing is challenging us to grapple with these Nordic overlords in a way that reasserts our self-determination and our creative capacities and demonstrates our capacity to develop a much more innovative and open-ended society than the one that these Nordics have proven themselves capable of developing with their sterile, monolithic, megalithic, rectilinear architecture and their hierarchical social structure.

3:34:58Do you think the creative God wants human evolution or do you think they want the spiritual hierarchy? I think the thing wants human evolution. The thing wants it. Okay. And it wants it selfishly. It wants to be surprised by a new kid on the block. It wants to take from out of this Petri dish into the wider cosmos a form of life that offers it an opportunity to continue to wonder at things and to have hope for the future of the cosmos. But are the devil and God sort of working together then to advance man? I believe God is an invention of the devil. This is a line that I have used in a number of my works.

3:35:38Okay. And what I mean by it is this. The idea of God, of an all-knowing and all-powerful entity, which is not Zeus, right? The idea of the monotheistic god. Which also includes, though, Brahman. Because even though there are various Hindu gods, in Vedantic metaphysics it's understood that they're still superseded and hierarchically unified through the one mind of Brahman, of which they are inferior manifestations and emanations. And again, Gautama Buddha attacked that. Gautama Buddha deconstructed that idea. He said it's a delusion. It's a delusion. He said that even very high yogis can get wrapped up in because they experience the co-arising and entanglement of things and they reify it.

3:36:30They objectify it as if it's an expression of an entity, of a god entity. Whereas really what they're doing is they're getting to very subtle states of consciousness where they can experience the quantum entanglement of things. Those are not the same thing. the god idea is like an objectivization and reification of it now I don't think the Nordics came up with this the Nordic overlords I think they had a very ruthless pagan system and that's what we see in all the old religions where they were like hey we're the gods you're going to get in line we created you you work for us etc this one true god idea I think was kind of inserted into this Nordic control system by the thing to see whether we would give up our free will and self-determination and our individuality and be subsumed into a hive-minded collective.

3:37:28So you think God is sort of a psyop or something? Yeah, God is a test. So the book of Job has to be turned upside down. And I literally argued this in my book, Euron and Leviathan, where I go into an analysis of the book of Job in depth, and I say you have to read Job inside out and upside down. And I argue it was meant to be read that way, that it's a Mithraic Kabbalistic text that was written for that purpose because what do we see in Job? We see an absolutely sadistic, tyrannical God brutalize somebody for absolutely no good reason. Well, so he can prove his faith. Yeah, to test his faith. Test his faith.

3:38:04It's the sickest thing that's ever been written. And I think it's on purpose. And look, now I make a complicated argument for that. In Iranian Leviathan, you have to look at, like, in the Achaemenid Persian Empire, who were the Mithraic magi who were involved with the project of recreating Israel, the first Zionist project in history? And how were these Mithras involved with the people who wrote the book of Job at that time? And it's a complicated argument. In any case, long story short, I argue it was on purpose. and the point is to test humanity to see whether we're such schmucks and chumps that we're going to submit to this overlord idea of like okay there are gods or you can call them angels but they ultimately work for one supreme god which is all-powerful meaning you have no will as soon as you admit that there's an all-powerful god an omnipotent god it means your free will is an illusion.

3:39:00Depending on your definition. No, it's a word games at that point. And all the Catholics in the Middle Ages, St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, they played these nonsense word games to confuse people. As soon as you admit that there's an entity that's all powerful, it means that entity has all the power in the world, meaning it's the effective agency behind everything that takes place, meaning you have no free will. Secondly, if you admit that the entity is omniscient, then God has foreknowledge of everything that's going to happen. Which means, and here's often, people aren't able to often grasp this point.

3:39:35The problem with God's omniscience in terms of our defending the idea that we have any free will at all, obviously our free will is impinged upon by many, many contingencies. Psychological factors condition our free will. Biological genetic factors condition our free will. All kinds of things condition and limit our will. But to defend the idea that we have any agency whatsoever, you have to deny God's omniscience. Why? Because an omniscient God has access to the complete state of affairs of everything that has ever happened or will ever happen, Meaning there's a logically completed matrix of possibilities for us that are actualities for God.

3:40:25Yeah, but I don't know. They're Kabbalistic, you know, tropes around like paradoxes of, you know, both everything is predetermined and you have free will. That is cognitive dissonance, which I get into in my book specifically. Like that literally the Abrahamic religions involve a deliberate project of instilling cognitive dissonance to destroy human rational and creative faculty. Well, you mentioned St. Thomas Aquinas, and he was working on his sort of sumo theologica, trying to come up with a rational justification for God. And then he had kind of a conversion experience during Mass. And I think that is a sort of common phenomena of people, you know, Rene Girard's another good example, like these philosophers or seekers, truth seekers, having these sort of conversion experiences, and then not even being able to put into words exactly what they believe.

3:41:19But it's usually a conversion to God. It's usually not like they come back and they say, oh, God was like some sort of psyop to outsource human agency. It's a failure of an otherwise good mind to be able to grapple with something that exceeds their comprehension and to stop and think through it carefully. See, this is the danger of the system that the Jesuits used Descartes to set up. Remember in our first conversation, I was talking about how Descartes was a Jesuit agent, and he established this extremely reductionistic, mechanistic, scientific paradigm precisely for the purpose of keeping everything occult sequestered in the domain of the church and religious faith and religious authority over interpretation of the occult.

3:42:04because our society was bifurcated in that way. Anytime something dramatically occult happens to anybody, especially anyone with a high rational faculty, they suddenly are an off guard because they have been inculcated with this false dichotomy and they've never been trained to think carefully about the paranormal and all kinds of different types of phenomena and possible sources of some phenomena. Have you ever had anything paranormal happen to you? Oh, many, many things. Yes. I've had many crazy things happen to me, most of which would, I have to say, unfortunately, even some of the people closest to me in my life who I had great respect for their intellect and some of them studied my work very deeply.

3:42:58But I can tell you that if some of the things that have happened to me happened to those people i bet you they would have embraced god also they would have seen light for sure uh but it seems like you think that's sort of like a dumb simpleton takeaway from a paranormal it's a failure it's a failure it's a failure of the test the test is for us to be able to think through these kinds of often absurd manifestations in a way that increases both our cognitive capacity and our creative imagination. It's complicated, though. You know, like Jacques Vallée, he talks about this sort of, you know, idea a lot.

3:43:39He says that, like, absurdity is what drives the phenomena. It's what makes somebody sort of rabidly obsessed with it and want to learn more about it. He talks about, you know, the sound of one hand clapping from the Zen Cohen. So it's these things that scramble your brain, kind of break all of your priors, and then make you contemplate constantly and then kind of go forth and investigate. you know what's going on and i and i believe that's the devil and so but and through that maybe you grow but then at the same time he's also like a fan of i think that he likes the movie the ninth gate that roman polanski movie with johnny depp where he's like trying to gain sort of occult powers by collecting these devil books yeah i saw that a long time ago yeah and then you have this gertes story of faust and like you have all these sort of you know you ally with these sort of powers and you know if you take the occult route and not the faith route you take the left hand path, you end up, you know, kind of burning yourself alive.

3:44:30You end up incinerating yourself. Jack Parsons would be another sort of. You end up Prometheus on the rock. Right. So like that doesn't sound very good to me. You know what? It is a growth process. Like when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Yeah. It's an incredibly messy process. And the chrysalis. Yeah. As a caterpillar is like turn inside out, you know, to become a butterfly. right? Look, the reason I didn't use Faust in my political, I mean, I did write a book at one point called Faustian Futurist, but the reason I didn't use Faust as I could have easily, you know, coming from out of Oswald Spangler's analysis of the Faustian soul of Western civilization and so forth, and I used Prometheus instead as a central symbol of my philosophical project, is that the Faustian myth is already deeply conditioned by Christianity, right?

3:45:24It's an understanding of the diabolical from out of a Christian context. Prometheus precedes Christianity. It's a pre-Christian symbol. So it has nothing, you know, inherently has nothing to do with the Abrahamic religion, inherently. And it's a positive symbol. However, it's also a symbol of sacrifice, meaning for sure, if you defy Zeus and Olympus, and if we're ensconced in a control system run by sadistic overlords, then if you rebel against that, you're definitely going to face adverse consequences. You might even be martyred. Are you familiar with the parable of the parties? This sort of, it was like a Kabbalistic parable, and it was these four rabbis, and they're all trying to engage in these sort of celestial ascent practices, similar to Enoch, some speculate, Paul, Jesus, went up to heaven's walk with God or whatever.

3:46:15And one of them, ends up crazy, two of them end up dead, and one makes it up or something. And so it's this idea that, you know, if you do engage in these sorts of investigations or whatever, it's a very narrow path. Yes, and the Kabbalists who have that story also say you should never study Kabbalah until after, I think, the age of 30. 35. And you have to be married. And you have to be married, you have to have a family. Well, that's retarded. Okay? the complete opposite to that are the surrealists look at these guys Andre Breton, Paul Elward Roger Calois, Max Ernst they're like in their early 20s you know doing crazy shit like pushing the boundaries of human cognition and creativity and yeah somebody might get killed in the process too you know life is dangerous but look what creativity came from out of it seems a little nihilistic or something I don't think it's nihilistic at all in fact I think it's the opposite it when Nietzsche takes nihilism as his principal target in his philosophical writings, right?

3:47:21Nietzsche's entire philosophical project is set up against nihilism. He says that, look, we're confronted globally by the advent of nihilism as a world historical phenomenon, where all previously existing frameworks of meaning, including the religions that helped to hold them up, are collapsing. And we, and particularly European men, including America, are tasked with engaging in a level of creativity and self-determination that can confront nihilism without the illusions and delusions of naive religious belief systems of the past. And Nietzsche's solution to that is radically aesthetic. It's an art project, really.

3:48:08I mean, he at one point calls the Ubermensch and the artist tyrants of the future. And by tyrant, he didn't mean like political ruler. He meant like the way in which these people are going to go to work on the material of the world and even the material of what the human being is, is going to be tyrannical. It's like they're not going to hesitate and they're going to be extremely intrepid. And that's what I see in surrealism. And to me, it's like the ultimate expression and embodiment of the life force of what Bergson called Elan Vital. Yes. You know, so I don't see it as nihilistic at all. Yeah, it's this vital force.

3:48:45How does this all relate to Herman Hesse's magic theater? Well, there you go. So in Steppenwolf, Hesse's novel Steppenwolf, which is one of my favorite novels, there's this character grappling with nihilism, Harry Haller, who wants to kill himself. and he meets this very enigmatic woman, Hermine, who introduces him into this occult underworld of people who are, now this was written in the 1920s or so, and they're the first people using psychedelic drugs, and they're also clearly involved in theater and in staging theatrical performances and stuff, And basically these, you know, countercultural people involved with this enigmatic woman ultimately invite Harry Holler to enter this magic theater that they, let's say, have access to.

3:49:47and he goes through this place and it's like basically he stepped into the twilight zone and like space and time are not normal inside this magic theater and he is confronted with a bunch of different performances that are meant to symbolically convey different things and get him to reflect on certain aspects of his subconscious in in other rooms he has to engage in long conversations. In some cases, conversations with like past historical figures. Anyway, long story short, he goes through this labyrinthine magic theater and in the end, he finds out that like all the great creative geniuses of history are there.

3:50:22Like from like Mozart and Beethoven to Newton and so on and so forth. And they, oh, and the last person he has to have a conversation with is like an older version of himself. And so he has to confront himself in the future too as part of this process. and point being in the end he's let in on the secret that the magic theater isn't this isolated space like like a venue in our world it's a metaphor for the world that we're living in and that that's the nature of human existence i take this idea of the magic theater in my writings and i put it next to this idea of the theater of cruelty that was developed by the surrealist Antonin Artaud.

3:51:07Who became a total lunatic. Dysfunctionally so. But he made a lot of interesting art in the process. And he came up with this idea that we should develop a new form of theater that breaks down the distinction between the spectators and the audience. I mean, between the performers and the spectators. Between the dramatists and the audience. that this classic distinction between the performance on a stage and the people watching it that formed in classical Greece with Aeschylus, that this should be deconstructed. All right, real briefly, a note on Greek theater. In my first book, Prometheus and Atlas, I get into this in great depth and detail.

3:51:54That the reason Greek sculpture becomes photorealistic, becomes perspectively accurate at the same time as there are the first large-scale dramatic performances with poets like Aeschylus, is that it was the first moment in history, of recorded history, that people were able to take the position of spectators at a theater, sitting in different places on different nights, meaning that first of all, they were perceiving geometric perspective for the first time. So like one night you're in some shitty seat in the back up here in this corner of the amphitheater. Another night you're in the middle close to the action.

3:52:40Another night you're off to this side. And one thing you notice as you watch the same play or different plays from different perspectives is you actually notice perspective for the first time geometrically. And there's a good case to be made if you look at like, for example, Julian Jaynes' study, the origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind. The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind. He looks at Homeric literature from archaic Greece and the ancient Mesopotamian texts. And he's like, look, these people's minds just did not work the way ours did. Their cognitive...

3:53:14If their cognitive structure wasn't different, then their cognitive capacities were radically not at the level that ours are. And one of the things that I believe they lacked was perspective. They actually could not see perspective the way we do. And it's why archaic Greek art looks like a bad hybrid of like Egyptian art and Mesopotamian art. Then you get these theater performances and all of a sudden you get these magnificent Greek sculptures. But the other form of perspective that I think the plays cultivated in them was psychological perspective. where for the first time people got like an outside view of dramas in human lives and they started to see themselves as characters they start to realize that oh what's going on in this drama is like like oh that's like me in this situation in my life and it starts to cultivate and deepen a sense of psychological perspective in people and isn't it interesting how the first figure in greek drama ever to take the stage is prometheus the prometheus trilogy of aeschylus was the first series of dramas ever performed so now to go back to arto so the point was this the classical drama did transform human consciousness in a way that was conducive for the rise of our rational faculties and our self-reflexive ability however arto now wants to take it to the next level, where now that we've developed reason and perspective and so on and so forth and objectivity, he wants to deconstruct it in a way that allows us to, again, as it was the main aim of the surrealists, develop a more conscious relationship with our subconscious or make the subconscious conscious.

3:55:05And so he designed a form of theatrical performance where the audience was repeatedly violated by the performers, by certain types of extreme harsh lighting, by performers like intruding on the personal space of the audience, by suddenly subjecting people to fear and anxiety in the course of a performance, loud noises, taboo-breaking scenes that force a person who's a spectator to confront his subconscious reaction and whatever beliefs are being violated by this taboo-breaking spectacle. And he calls this the theater of cruelty. Well, I take the magic theater from Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf and synthesize it with Artaud's theater of cruelty and develop this idea of a magic theater of cruelty.

3:56:02And by the way, the thing that made that click for me is this line in one of Jim Morrison's songs where he talks about us in some insane and ancient theater. I don't know if you remember that. It's some line from one of his songs about how we're in some insane and ancient theater. I don't know. He was an avid reader. Yeah. And so I developed this idea of a magic theater of cruelty and suggested that this is what we're inside of. We are inside from the perspective of the thing, of the super intelligent AI that's instantiating the trickster archetype, the whole thing is like a theater where there's no distinction between the performers and the spectators.

3:56:48Which, by the way, in a certain heretical form of Hinduism, there is this idea too. In the Shakta cult, in Shakti Tantra, there's the idea that what the conservative Hindus call samsara and what they seek moksha or liberation from or what the Buddhists seek nirvana to get out of namely samsara is not really maya a veil of illusion it is lila which is a theatrical play and that shakti divine power is expressed through this theatrical play including in extremely violent and cruel ways right but it's all part of the growth of the life force and so yeah i mean i i developed this idea you know a magic theater of cruelty that hybridizes uh hessen and artaud in a way and i think that allows us to make a lot of sense out of some of the absurd and terrifying elements of the close encounter phenomenon this is fascinating man you're uh you're brilliant i don't necessarily agree with you on everything good thank you but uh the amount of connections your brain makes is remarkable it really is and uh i i feel like we should do you know more of these because i i just learned so much and i i enjoy speaking absolute pleasure and there are many other places we can go likewise it'd be an honor and yeah thank you so much jason thank you justin awesome we just launched what i think is maybe the coolest merch line in the world when you're wearing it it's not like you're shilling me or the channel they're just really epic and i think they look good we have a couple of amazing designs for you we have our cowboy ufo tee pretty epic you see there's a rancher he's witnessing a ufo a little cow is getting abducted by the ufo in the background and then you know that i love mid-century history specifically spooky science It's atomic era stuff.
