Southern Woke

We recorded this episode at the end of spooky season and I just got around to editing it. Why did it take so long? Well, because this is the last episode of Southern Woke Podcast and I kept putting it off because it was hard to say goodbye, even though it was a mutual decision so that Kalan and I can focus more on ourselves and our futures. It was such a pleasure to research all the topics we covered and to hear from those of you that interacted with us. The Slenderman case is a weird one to end things on, but here it is nonetheless! Y'all take care, with love

You may have heard of the Hellfire Club in the show Stranger Things, but in this episode we're talking about the real life Hellfire Club that began in the 1700's. Unfortunately, this club wasn't all about playing dungeons and dragons. Instead, they were into mocking religion, performing satanic rituals, baptizing each other in unholy water and worshiping the devil. It's no wonder the Hellfire Caves are haunted AF today...Don't forget to:Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCQscOZ01RWJROf5KrFgswjQFollow us on Instagram: @southernwokepodcastFollow our TikTok: @southern_wokeWE HAVE MERCH NOW: www.southernwoke.comSavvyPixel | Clothes & Gifts for Gamers SavvyPixel offers stylish clothes and gifts for geeks and gamers.

We were always taught in grade school that America's founding fathers were heroes and idols, but some of the stories were straight up made up and there was a WAY darker side than we thought. Our founding fathers may have had their moments where they were good men, but mostly they were hypocrites, cheaters and much more.Don't forget to:Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCQscOZ01RWJROf5KrFgswjQFollow us on Instagram: @southernwokepodcastFollow our TikTok: @southern_wokeCheck out our website: www.southernwoke.com

A few weeks ago we put out an episode detailing the Disclosure Project Press Conference and all the whistleblower's stories. We also mentioned how there is a team of 90+ (200+ now) legal personnel that are ready to put a stop to the illegal secret government that have been operating without any boundaries for far too long.  Today we have an interview with Derek Garcia, who spoke at the press conference, and Paige Fox where we dive into what the RICO Act is and how they plan to use it in this situation, how the mainstream media doesn't cover these important topics, and the importance of getting free energy to the world. Derek said it best when he stated, "this isn't just about little green men, it isn't something to laugh at, this is about the future of our planet."Resources:If you can help on the legal team, fill out this form:  https://forms.gle/GVj3fKEyMCxpLBPW9If you can help in any non-legal way, fill out this form:  https://forms.gle/iEXoV2sh2swYWgmdAVisit siriusdisclosure.com for news, evidence, and much more!WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, SENATORS & PRESDIENT:Here is a draft template you can use to write:Subject: Urgent Call for Full Disclosure on UAP Investigations & Reassessment of Military Industrial ComplexDear [Your Congressman's Name], [Your Second Congressman's Name], Senator [Your Senator's Name], Senator [Your Second Senator's Name], and President [President's Name],“I am reaching out to express my deep concern about the never ending issues our country (and the entire world) is facing, and to request that our state representatives begin demanding: 1) full acknowledgement and transparency re UFOs, UAPs, UAUPs, ETVs, and all related advanced energy and propulsion technologies capable of solving the global climate crisis;2) access to the 5,000+ missing Tesla patents related to free energy and the implications of those patents on free energy, which is capable of solving world hunger; and 3) an explanation for why trillions of taxpayer dollars have been poured into the military industrial complex for years, wasting it to advance technology for war rather than world peace”I urge you to watch the national press conference that took place on June 12, 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDY7t6HihCw&t=8394sThank you for your time and dedication to these critical matters.Sincerely,[Your Name][Your Address][City, State, Zip][Your Email][Your Phone Number]Don't forget to:Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCQscOZ01RWJROf5KrFgswjQFollow us on Instagram: @southernwokepodcastFollow our TikTok: @southern_wokeCheck out our website: www.southernwoke.com
