Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 88, The Collins Elite: Demonic Aliens and Deep State Spiritual War. Imagine assembling a team of investigative spies whose members are a mixture of Black Magic Witches, Catholic Exorcists, UFOlogists, and Deep State Intelligence Agents, and them assigning them the mission of identifying and resolving the source of the perennial UFO and Alien Abduction phenomenon. While this sounds like the premise of a late night horror movie, it could be more fact than fiction.  On this Ad-Free Episode we will explore an unsettling convergence of Occult Research, the deep state, and a spiritual war for human souls, as we learn about The Collins Elite; a shadowy group whose eclectic members came to believe that UFOs and Aliens might just be far more bizarre and sinister than we have ever imagined. If you're ready for a deep and twisted ride into one of the weirdest and most mind-boggling episodes ever, then you're in luck. Now parts of this are non-linear. The threads tend to be fragmented and disjointed, but there is a whole to be revealed here… it's theoretical and crazy, but fascinating.  If that sounds fun then follow me now, if you dare, into Renegade Files Episode 88, The Collins Elite: Demonic Aliens and Deep State Spiritual War. Support RF and Get Bonus Episodes at  https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://therenegadefiles.com/shop/Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.comDig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/ If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

That night the Bayside Marketplace outdoor mall along the waterfront was packed with people shopping, dining, and drinking in the bars. But screams, shots, and chaos shattered the peaceful evening, and as patrons ran for it, they were greeted by arriving police. A lot of police. People were detained, questioned, and their phone photos deleted. What followed was one of the strangest and fastest explosions of internet virality ever seen. Claims of police falsehoods, a cover-up, and shadowy interdimensional beings hit media in parallel with the official story of teens fighting with fireworks. But just because a claim spreads fast and far, doesn't necessarily make it true. There's an old saying: A lie will walk a mile before the truth gets its boots on. Come with me now as we unravel the mysterious mayhem in Renegade Files Episode 86: The Miami Mall Incident: Shadow Aliens, Portals, & Coverups. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://therenegadefiles.com/shop/Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.comDig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/ Here is the Link to Richard Bruce's Realm Hackers Video Mentioned in the Episode: https://rumble.com/v4bff8o-realm-hackers-a-b-they-opened-miami-portal.html If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 84: Forbidden Self Reliance and the Rent Seeking Pimpocracy. When a large enough contingent of the economy as a whole, is made up of jobs that add no value, then the Self-Reliance activities in society that bypass those mechanisms, become vilified by employees of the no-value-added processes. In this episode we will dissect what that sentence means for you and I as individuals, and explore how the activity described has impacted society. To do so we will coin a new term, the Pimpocracy. A pimp is someone who adds no value to the transaction, but profits by way of allowing the transaction to take place. A pimp positions himself as the parasitic middleman, taking his cut without participating. In fact, his only participation is the talking of his cut. This precisely describes a vast amount of activity in the modern American system of Big Government's collusion with Big Business. For example, one of the most ancient ways to feed yourself is by fishing. Fishing is a definitive Self-Reliant activity. But now, if you want to use a stick, and a string, and a hook baited with a minnow, to catch a fish, you must have a fishing license. The person whose job it is to sit in the county tax collector's office, take your information, and your money, then issue you a license to fish, adds nothing to your ability to catch fish. They exist simply as a middle-man between you and the fish. And for this, they take their cut. This is their job. Their livelihood. They are, in effect, pimping the fish themselves, for without those, there would be no fishing and thus no license. Extrapolate that across a myriad of building permits, vehicle registrations, license plates, insurance mandates, property taxes, business permits, Bankers who charge you to store and retrieve your own money, government commissioners who debate endlessly, and on and on ad-nauseum. Much of our modern economy is built upon jobs like these where the only purpose of the job, is to take a percentage of the money passing between two people trying to do business. I say this is a pimpocracy. Fiat currency not only fuels it, but demands it, but there are solutions and realistic ways out of the cycle, and if you come with me today we will explore what this all is, how it happens, and in defining it, see some clear ways out of it. So join me and together we will explore Forbidden Self Reliance and the Rent Seeking Pimpocracy. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://therenegadefiles.com/shop/Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.comDig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/ Links Mentioned in Show:Renegade Files Episode 54, Occult Magic in Modern Science. See pics of existing Sears Mailorder Homes next to their original catalog elevation sketches and floor-plans here: https://searshomes.org/index.php/2012/04/10/the-kit-homes-of-raleigh-nc/  If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.
