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.

Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 83, Chaos Magic. Chaos Magic is one of those unfortunate topics which, because of a poorly selected name, people tend to think they know what it is, without ever looking into it. Maybe that's a good thing from the perspective of a true Chaos Magician, but the more likely truth is that (1) the devotees probably don't care if someone understands it or not, and (2), there is no such thing as Truth in the first place so either of these scenarios is equally ineffectual in the world and there's really no one to care or not care, but this is not to say that the entire discipline is Nihilistic. A better term might be flexible, and before we start trying to understand this, we need to unravel a few things. First of all, the unfortunate name here: Chaos Magic. When people hear the word Chaos, they often think of melee, destruction, and wreckage. Officially, Chaos refers to a state of complete confusion or disorder, where there is no order or organization. It can also describe a confused mass or mixture of things. As for Chaos Magic, what we're concerned with is more of the absence of organization, formality, and tradition. But this doesn't mean the total void of performance. Quite the opposite. Chaos magic is, above all else, concerned with Results. One of its mantras is, If it works, it works. In the first section we'll cover some deeper definitions and origins of Chaos Magic. In part 2 we'll explore the tools of the trade. In part 3 we'll dive into Chaos Magic in Popular and fringe Culture. And that will lead us into some part 4, Pop Culture Events and Products that just may be forms of Chaos Magic being performed in plain sight. By the end we should know just enough about Chaos Magic to get us in trouble. So join me now for Renegade Files Episode 83… wherein together we will explore the strange, potentially life changing, and almost certainly treacherous world of Chaos Magic. Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles ~Merch https://therenegadefiles.com/shop/ ~Website http://therenegadefiles.com ~YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles ~ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/ ~ X https://x.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.

Just after midnight on July 20, 2012 an armed man in a gas mask set off tear gas in a crowded theater at the premier of Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises in the Century 16 multiplex Cinema in Aurora, Colorado. Before the smoke cleared 12 were dead, and 70 were injured. Lone gunman James Holmes then walked out, leaned calmly against his white Hyundai, still in body armor and gas mask, and waited to be arrested. At 12:38 police dispatch received a call: gunshots fired in theater. Ninety seconds later police were on the scene. Pandemonium. Four minutes later 24 year-old James Holmes was in the back of a cop car. The arresting officer initially thought Holmes was on the SWAT team, and when he asked him if he was the one who had done this, he tells us that Holmes replied, “I am the Joker,” but Holmes denies ever saying that. The Superhero-Villain angles made the story huge news, and when Holmes arrived in court with fluorescent orange-dyed hair and a wide-eyed vacant expression, the world's attention was galvanized.  This was a tragedy with needless injuries, unnecessary loss of life, and untold psychological stress forced upon both the people there and upon a nation. This podcast episode was not created to suggest this event didn't happen, nor to capitalize on the tragedy, and my heartfelt compassion goes out to everyone who has been affected by this very real crime. I've put this episode off for a while now, but I finally decided that there's information here that needs to be brought to light. If this event did not happen in the way we have been told, or if important facts have been left unchecked, then the circumstances here deserve a deeper look. That's what we'll do today. This is not an episode of sensationalism, although many of the facts are dramatic. But there's something here that just feels wrong, out of place, or slightly off in some ways that are difficult to pinpoint. It's the tidy way that it was all packaged, the conflicting reports that were ignored, the high-level connections of some of those involved, and the almost cartoonish evidence presented after the fact. When logic clashes with the official narrative, I go to work. In this episode I'll do my best to give you the facts we know, the details that seem irrational, and the connections others have overlooked so you and I can view this tragic event with fresh eyes. So join me now, and together we will dive deep into the stories surrounding James Holmes, the Batman Shøøter. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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.

The cast of characters is extraordinary and includes an unassuming 40-year old mom, a famous New York artist, two Men-In-Black type agents, and a Secretary General to the United Nations. This story received a large amount of attention in New York City and was eventually the subject of a Netflix documentary called, “Manhattan Alien Abduction”. The story has also been covered on The Why Files Podcast and by Kit and Rory on their podcast: This Paranormal Life, and several more.  A lot of times I'll pass on certain subjects if others have covered them well already, but for some reason I kept coming back to this one.  When I started looking into this case I was fascinated by some of the details and events so I decided to dive deeper, and that's how I ended up making this episode … so come with me to New York City and together we will fly up the blue beam of light into the mothership and investigate The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abduction. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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.

In fact, reports of such creatures from the East Coast have risen to rival some of the bast tales from the Northwest.In this episode of Renegade Files we will explore the misty Blue Ridge Mountains, the humid swamps of Florida, and many woodland locations along the Eastern US corridors in search of Sasquatch Stories from credible witnesses. We'll analyze how Bigfoot Sightings in the East differ from those more traditional encounters we all grew up on from the West, while also considering how this humanoid cryptid changes as we move from South to North. In doing so, you may be surprised at how these variations actually combine to lend credence, and perhaps even evidence for the existence of one of the world's most famous elusive beast. So join me now and together we will sort out the sordid details of Sasquatch and Bigfoot: East Coast / West Coast Beef. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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.

Sometimes the innocents go to jail, and sometimes the criminals get away. A Vigilante is someone who acts unofficially, and outside of the establishments of law enforcement and criminal prosecution, to deliver what they believe to be justice, in situations where the legal system, in the vigilante's eyes, fails to do the right thing. Some vigilantes are seen as heroes, others are seen as reckless dangers to society, and some divide opinions and create camps of both supporters and critics of their actions. On this episode of Renegade Files we will travel down the back alleys and desolate woodland roads in search of vigilante justice. We will try to understand some of the circumstances which drive people to take the law into their own hands, and we will delve into four specific cases and groups who have defined the modern vigilantes: Gary Plauché, Bernhard Goetz, The Guardian Angels, and Daniel Penny. Is there a time when everyone agrees that a vigilante has done the right thing? Do some deserve medals? Do all deserve jail cells? And in the end, what does it say about our society as a whole, when the wheels of justice force certain, otherwise law abiding citizens over the edge to take actions that make them criminals themselves? Topic Warning: This episode deals with topics of serious crime including violence, abduction, and murder so please only proceed if you are comfortable with hearing such subjects. It is not my style to delve into graphic or disturbing details, however, the basic facts of some of these cases may be disturbing nonetheless.  If you are fine with hearing such tales then join me now, and together we will explore this controversial topic as we get into some of the most intriguing cases on record, and tackle a most divisive subject on Renegade Files Episode 79, Vigilante Justice. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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/  Follow RF on X https://x.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.

In this episode of Renegade Files we will explore the ways that drugs are used to first build, and then control nations.  Along this seedy journey we'll encounter an unlikely cast of interconnected characters including the tobacco and alcohol companies, big sugar, network television, big pharma, Gangster Rap executives, the prison industrial complex, 60s counterculture hero's, and the CIA. We go deep on this one, to illuminate the links that make up what amounts to a generations-long psyop created to weaken oppositions, addict and divide populations, delude individuals, and ultimately convince free people to trade their freedom for security. The information here moves fast and connects quickly, and my plan is to leave no stone unturned. In this episode we're going to explore a few serious topics that will cause us to look at some very familiar subjects in totally new ways. You know that's something I enjoy doing.  So join me my friend, for this episode of Renegade Files, and prepare to have your mind blown, as together we explore the ways Drug-Built Empires Become authoritarian, with a deep look into illegal Drugs: Weapons of the Deep State. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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.

It is also the coldest the driest and the windiest. It's the world's 5th largest continent with an area of about 5,500,000 square miles, most of that covered by a thick sheet of ice, known as the Antarctic ice sheet, with an average thickness of about 1.2 miles. Most of the life there consists of mites, nematodes, Penguins, seals, and some forms of lichen and moss. Antarctica is notoriously inhospitable holding the record for the lowest temperature ever measured on earth, which is -128.6°F. It is also very difficult to travel to, surrounded by cold, very rough seas dotted with dangerous icebergs.  Mount Erebus on Antarctica's Ross Island is the world's southernmost active volcano and it erupts about 10 times per day. The Antarctic shores are surrounded with thick sheets of floating ice which block the coastlines and bays, and many coastal locations require specialized ice breaking ships in order to make landfall. And yet many nations continually send scientists and researchers to live in a handful of remote bases in Antarctica, and have been doing so since the first Russian expeditions in 1820. Antarctica is distant, rugged, and freezing. It is the subject of treaties, alleged UFO sightings and crashes, a hidden Nazi base, many geographical anomalies, no-fly zones, and a list of conspiracy theories. On this episode of Renegade Files we will explore these claims and more, as we head south to dive deep into Antarctica (Mysteries, UFOs, & More). Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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/ Follow RF on X https://x.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.

Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 76, Multiple Personality Disorder: The Controversial Concepts of Dissociation. Like all Renegade Files Podcast content, this episode is for entertainment only. This episode explores topics of mental health and disorder, but it is in no way medical advice or even expert opinion. Enjoy.  At a certain level, we all have variations of our personalities, and these develop over time as a way to relate to and interact with others in society. We may be proper and generally quiet at work, animated and provocative among our friends, and distant and disengaged around our family. And we may shift across a number of identities throughout our days. A parent in the morning, an accountant from 9 to 5, and a skydiver on the weekends.  For most of us what we do may change, but who we are, has a relative and agreed upon consistency. But for a very small percentage of the general population the foundational reality of self is something else, something fluid, retreating, or fully disjointed and fractured. This experience is known as dissociation and it can manifest across a spectrum of levels that ranges from a perceived detachment from nature or the environment, to a complete Dissociative Identity Disorder where more than one personality occupies a person's awareness, and each point of comprehension is separated by blackout gaps of memory, knowledge, and influence. Much like so many things we have explored here on Renegade Files, the ins and outs of this topic go very deep, and the multifaceted realities of the subject, may not align with the concepts and explanations that we, as a society, have been led to believe over the years. Was the phenomenon of Multiple Personalities as we know it created more by the entertainment industry, than the clinical fields of psychology? Has the legal system incentivized repressed memories? And are their fractured Alters and Multiples living dormant in each of us, awaiting the perfect moment to step forth, and control the world we have built for them? Come with me now, and together we will explore such questions, and more, as we dive deep into the fascinating subject of Multiple Personality Disorder: The Controversial Concepts of Dissociation. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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/  Get Help Now—Emergency Mental Health Resources 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 75, Ten Conspiracies That We Know Are True. The world of Conspiracy Theories has always clashed with the mainstream media for reasons of pure definition and opposing agendas. Conspiracy Theorists are concerned with facts and truth, and the mainstream media is concerned with ad revenue. the party lines of the governmental agencies who regulate them. As such, the mainstream has waged a war on free thinking and independent research, and many big communication and data companies have now implemented actual policies to marginalize and repress the opposing viewpoints of actual journalists who dive deeper than their glossy repeated sound bites.  One large social media platform recently updated their terms and conditions to outlaw any content that promotes alternative viewpoints of current events that indicate the causes as any collection of non-state participants. That's a pretty wide net and if that platform does delete any competing ideas about who or why a current event has occurred, then we are dealing with open censorship of the official narratives. As a response to the vilification of alternative cultural analysis, on this episode we will take a quick look into ten conspiracies that are not theories, but that we know are fully and factually true.  These are cases where people promoted alternative viewpoints to current events that indicated the causes as collections of non-state participants, and they turned out to be fully accurate. So what does that say about the censorship and hatred of Conspiracy Theorists in the mainstream media and big data social media? I'll leave that to you to decide. This is not a terribly exhaustive deep dive into any of these subjects. This episode is a bit down and dirty as far as production goes, but the content is nothing but crystal jewels.  So join me as we take a trip into the wild world of Ten Conspiracies That We Know Are True. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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.

At the same time, there was very little there. Mostly data: green text on black screens.  Eventually the tech developed and we could upload and download images, then audio and video, and today the internet is the most powerful communication tool ever created by humankind.  What has made it revolutionary is the facilitation of the ability for a wide range of creators to publish content to forums that are widely accessible. But when you open a publishing framework to what amounts to unlimited access and reach, you also open it to the entire scope of human interest, activity, and predilection.  The vast majority of such information is healthy, harmless, or even helpful. But a small percentage of such content will always be incomprehensible, disturbing, or mysterious. Today we will dive into the latter. One of the strangest, most bizarre, and most mysterious creations the glorious internet has ever given us: a disturbing documentary called Grave-Robbing For Morons. This very strange short film has spawned hours of speculation from internet detectives searching for answers. Is the movie real, does it really show what it claims to, and who are the people involved in making it?  So join me my friend, and together we will explore a deep, dark rabbit hole in the form of the most mysterious movie you have hopefully never seen: Grave-Robbing For Morons. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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.

Could a soldier imagine a foreign adversary having a heart attack, and thus make it so? Or was it possible for the navy to build a device that would allow a battleship to jump ahead 30-seconds in time, and avoid an unavoidable torpedo strike? All of these questions were taken quite seriously, and exhaustively explored by a few previously classified projects.  These are not conspiracy theories; these are real military and intelligence agency projects that have been declassified and brought to light by whistleblowers, and today on Renegade Files, we will dive deep into these discoveries. And it's not just meditating to mentally spy on a Soviet Map-Room. This episode leads us into remote viewing of distant planets, remote extraterrestrial bases on the Moon, Aliens among us, and an attack on civilians by a UFO blasting death beams in the frozen tundra. This episode gets beyond weird and by the end, you may never think of the dark-ops military quite the same again.  So join me right now and together we will explore the hidden worlds of The Occult Military: Remote Viewing and Psychic Warfare. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles  Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/  Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.com  Dig 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.

Terms like Mojo and Hex make their way into the language, and themes of Voodoo Rituals have permeated Hollywood Horror movies for decades. As a religion it holds the undisputed top prize for being the most universally misunderstood.  And yet, today, it thrives and grows in new ways every day. On this episode of Renegade Files we head to the bayou, and the steamy streets of Nawlins to dive deep into the worlds of spirits and talismans, of sacrifice and saviors, and of Voodoo Queens and The Chicken Man.

I'm your host Lex Gordon broadcasting a pirate radio signal from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 71, Ghost Hunting: History, Tools, and a Haunted Restaurant Visit. What happens to us after death? Now there's a question. This a perennial mystery of the human condition for a simple reason: the only ones who know the answer for sure, can never communicate it to the rest of us. But is that a hard and fast truth? All things that live, will at some point, cease to live and as far as a physical human existence, this is perhaps the greatest of all unifying realities, and perhaps the only one we can all agree on. Some believe our lives come from nothing as a random collection of debris, and upon death we return to that pool of dust and carbon and that no memory or soul of the individual endures. Others believe a million versions of the opposite of that, but central to many is the idea of a continuation of memory, experience, or personality across a life and death cycle that persists. The physical and the energetic united by the spirit of the psyche and moving into and out of form to learn lessons, to enjoy life, to thrive, to struggle, to grow, and to glimpse the Universe as a part of that Universe. And yet, regardless of how heroic, how masterful, how tragic, how mundane, how fulfilling… how fleeting and futile or how long and prosperous that life is, at some point it will end for all who, whether chosen or thrust, endeavor to walk this way. And as we, conscious of our own mortality, witness this drama unfold, we can't help but wonder, to where have our friends gone? We know that energy is never created or destroyed, but rather, it simply shifts from one form to another, and this endless rearrangement of energy creates the dazzling world we see. And yet, the silence of our dearly departed deafens us. But does it always? The other world of Ghosts and Spirits is not merely a Gothic or Macabre curiosity. It offers a fragment of hope, a glimpse into the beyond, and evidence for that age-old question: What happens to us after death? In this episode of Renegade Files we delve into the world of Ghost Hunting. We will explore the history and pioneers of this spooky endeavor. We'll learn about the tools of the trade, and how they fit into the Ghost Hunter's Mode. And finally, we will take what we have learned into the field, as a friend and I explore what some call one of the most haunted locations in the Uncharted Tropics, Marsh Landing Restaurant. So join me, and together we will explore the creepy realms of Ghost Hunting: History, Tools, and a Haunted Restaurant Visit. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/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/ Follow RF on X https://x.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.

Nothing too tedious, just a few highlights.  Then we'll dive into my Annual Conspiracy Theory State of the Union Address where I assess the current conspiracy theorist landscape, and this casts a wide net, and we'll also go over the status of some of my favorite players in the game. We'll look at what's changed over the past year, and what we can look forward to in the coming year both in the space as a whole, and for Renegade Files specifically.  Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Website http://therenegadefiles.com YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/  X https://x.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.

I always thought of it as a fun, imaginary world where people lived underwater like Aquaman, had dolphin friends, and mermaid brides. As it turns out, there are some serious people who believe that Atlantis was a real place, and that it was home to a technologically advanced civilization and as we have seen with alternatives to the Egyptian timelines, any time discoveries conflict with the historical narrative carved into stone by mainstream academics, we might be treading in deep water. On this episode of Renegade Files we will do just that. We'll go back to the times of Plato and hear what he had to say, then we'll navigate the waters of Edgar Cayce the sleeping prophet, travel the Bimini Road, explore undersea locations where diving could get you arrested, and tie the whole thing together with a cast of unlikely characters such as Hemingway, the CIA, and even the Satanic cult involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's Island, and…Cousteau? This episode is a long one and by the end we will be off the deep end into some of the craziest circumstances and connections I've ever come across. It gets grade-A Chiquita Bananas.  So take a deep breath and dive deep with me as we get into Finding Atlantis: Plato, Hemingway, and Epstein Satanism. If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

Many UFO sightings are reported by famous or well-known people and some of these happen over cities, neighborhoods, or busy highways. President Jimmy Carter famously saw a large UFO while on the campaign trail. Russel Crowe has seen a UFO, and Kurt Russel saw the Phoenix Lights UFO while flying into Phoenix. But when you combine the glitzy world of rock and roll with the high strangeness of UFOs the stories get weird fast, and that's why I'm here, to take you Walking on the Moon, get you All Shook Up, and Blinded by the Light. So climb aboard the cosmic tour bus and come with me on a rocking adventure, where we will Kiss the Sky, See if Mars is the kind of place to raise a kid, and hear some hair-raising campfire tales as we dive into the way-out world of Rock Stars and Aliens. Much of the research in this episode comes from the book “Alien Rock: The Rock-n-Roll Extraterrestrial Connection” by Michael C. Luckman. Also my own research into the scariest place in the world, the Pop Culture Media. Let's get right into it.

This is Renegade Files Episode 67, Trump Shooting, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and Many Questions. On July 13, 2024 former President and current Presidential Candidate Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. The coverage that followed created a shocking amount of information, fake news, and serious questions. This story has become such a whirlwind of conflicting claims and crazy truths that we could all benefit by putting as much credible information on the shooting and its aftermath in one place, so this episode is it.  This also makes the episode different than the norm here, and sometimes that's a good thing. This episode covers timelines, facts, and details you may not have heard. Fair warning: This gets weird. So press play and dive into Renegade Files Episode 67, The Trump Shooting, Thomas Matthew Crooks, the US Secret Service, and Many, Many Questions. -------------------------- Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.com Dig 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.

Conspiracy Theory content has exploded in recent years and the mainstream Media love to ridicule the free thinkers who either produce or consume such content, because the media's power and income is based on the idea that they provide the truth and have all the answers. Therefore, their authority erodes when intelligent researchers prove that so many popular mainstream narratives are falsehoods designed to steer political opinion and action.As such, conspiracy theories are now taken seriously by believers in truth or those unplugged from the info machine of the populace.  So we all know the big topics in the space: The JFK Assassination, Watergate, The Iran Contra Affair, The Roswell Coverup, and a few others. But what about the obscure ideas in an already obscure landscape. Or if not obscure, the fringe, the crazy, or the just plain bizarre. Today that's where we'll go; into the uncharted backwaters of the deeply strange, unhinged, and hardcore bananas Conspiracy Theories that keep the most caffeine crazed, beautiful-mind bulletin board jockeys among us up through the wee hours, where the connections become so convoluted and unlikely, that they suddenly all make perfect sense. So lets just go for it and get down and dirty, as we explore 6 Obscure but Awesome Conspiracy Theories.--------------------------Music Licensing: Theme Song: “Steve's Djembe” by Vani, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 License.  “Disinformation Highway” by Flow Lab Cult, DV8NOW Records, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.

This is Renegade Files Episode 65, Cattle Mutilations: Aliens, Government Ops, or Satanic Cults? Graphic Content Warning: This subject deals with farm animals that have been discovered in various states of injury. As such, some of the descriptions are graphic and may be disturbing to young or sensitive listeners and out of respect for you, I just wanted to give you that information. As always, I'll stick to the facts, but in this case, some of those facts deal with brutality perpetrated on innocent creatures. If that's not for you I understand. But if your curiosity on the topic warrants a dive into the subject, then come with me. Who or what is doing these things to these farm animals is the mystery here.There are many theories but few absolute answers, so that's where we come in.  In broad terms, a livestock mutilation is an incident of physical harm done to a farm animal. As far back as 1545 there was a rash of violence perpetrated against livestock in the United Kingdom, that resulted in the tongues of horses and cattle being cut out.  And there are other stories of farm animals being messed with over the centuries, by sick vandals, hungry coyotes, or wolves. But usually those kinds of crimes leave tell-tale clues: teeth marks, blood, torn flesh, and footprints. But as we moved into the modern era these farm animal crimes began to take a mysterious turn. The animals targeted became almost exclusively cattle, the body parts became increasingly specific, and the methods grew far beyond the unexplained, and into the downright impossible.  Then, starting in the late 60s, peaking across the 70s, and continuing to the present day, we find reports of unexplained livestock mutilations where the crime scenes defy logic, lack traditional evidence, and seem to feature animal victims with wounds of surgical precision, bizarre missing body parts, and theories that run the conspiracy theory gamut.  This is a big one. A deep dive with a lot to explore here. And by the end, you may never drive past a cow pasture and look at it quite the same.  On this episode we get weird and dive into the unexplained phenomenon of Cattle Mutilations: Aliens, Government Ops, or Satanic Cults? -------------------------- Support Renegade Files on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool Renegade Files Gear https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Visit and Share the Renegade Files Website http://therenegadefiles.com Dig Renegade Files on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles  Follow Renegade Files 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.

This is Renegade Files Episode 64, Fascinating Connections of Twins. Twins are rare. About 3% of newborns are part of a multiple birth, so 2, 3, or more babies born at the same time. And about 97% of that 3%, are twins. If someone on the mother's side of the family has had twins before, this doubles the chances of having twins, but remember that only makes it a 6% chance at best.  This rarity of twins in the greater population makes the fact that twins often experience coincidences of behavior, preferences, and other factors seem all the more extraordinary. How is it that so many twins report what would otherwise be considered clairvoyance, mind-reading, or situations that far exceed what can be explained by coincidence? Some twins are the closest of friends, some twins are total opposites and just really don't like each other at all, and everything in between. And beyond the casual quirks and inside jokes that two genetically identical people might share, some twins have devolved into what could only be called a sinister world of bizarre behavior.  So come with me my freaky friend and on this episode of Renegade Files we will dive deep together and explore the Fascinating Connections of Twins. -------------------------- Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.com Dig 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.

Because of this tendency to so quickly draw upon the term, it's also a word that's often either misunderstood, or at least not understood completely.  Today we dig deep into the origins and background of helpful communication's evil twin, a twin that seeks a far more sinister outcome than simple falsehood or casual trickery. Propaganda is concerned with manipulating your viewpoints, opinions, and steering your actions and make no mistake about it, the method is alive and well. Some would say fully victorious. On this episode of Renegade Files we go bravely into the cloak and dagger worlds of Propaganda.--------------------------Links mentioned in episode:Renegade Files episode 7, The Laurel Canyon Conspiracy TheoryThose Conspiracy Guys: Operation Mockingbird Episode on Apple Podcasts and on Spotify . --------------------------If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

A world where our time and efforts are focused on learning, growing, healing, helping, and thriving. Where there is more than enough of everything and people are free to pursue their livelihoods, passions, and live curious enthusiastic lives. In the early 1950s this was the promise of science.  Cutting edge physicists have long searched for a unified theory that could unite the worlds of the quantum with the cosmos. On this episode of Renegade Files we will dive into this cutting edge world and explore the theories of Unified Harmonics and Energy within the Vacuum as explained by Nassim Haramein. This episode contains ground-breaking discoveries and ideas about energy that could very well save the world. These are enormous concepts, but they're also elegant and harmonious, and easy to understand when explored in a logical progression of context. These are realizations that may very well deliver the clean productive and pleasant future we all know is within our collective power to achieve. So put on your white lab coat and your mad-scientist glasses. Set the flux capacitor to Ludicrous Speed, and come with me as we explore the cutting edge science of Physics Rebel Nassim Haramein's Unlimited Energy and Unified Harmonics. --------------------------RF055 – Portals, Stargates, & Wormholes https://therenegadefiles.com/2023/11/30/portals-stargates-and-wormholes-rf055/--------------------------Thank you to Nassim Haramein on YouTube which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZA0UxXsyRuvHClC-OZEWwThank you to the Cutting Edge Consciousness Podcast, which you can find here: http://barnetbain.com/podcast/--------------------------If you like Renegade Files, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

This is Renegade Files Episode 61, Artificial Intelligence: The History, Ethics, and Future of AI. When I was a kid the promise of the future was beautiful, exciting, and, well, futuristic. We rode the Monorail at Disney and were told that in the future, everyone would travel on those incredibly smooth, electromagnetic hovering trains. We'd all have flying bubble cars like the Jetsons, sleek robots would clean our homes and cook our meals, and hoverboards were just around the corner. The Tyrell Corporation would sell us genetically engineered humanoid replicant girlfriends, and rebel pilots could explore the star systems of exotic worlds. But the monorail never left Disney World. When hoverboards came out, they had wheels. Flying cars and our pleasure model replicants resided firmly imprisoned within our TV, Computer, and Phone Screens. The disappointment that resulted generated a negative creative response and we got an overdose of dystopian sci-fi, zombie movies, cataclysmic disaster predictions, and suddenly, the future was far less bright.  In short, we never got the future we were promised. But then, a glimmer of futuristic hope. Artificial Intelligence.We go deep on this one, so put the car on autodrive and get ready to have your organic mind blown, on Renegade Files episode 61 we explore the cutting edges of Ai.--------------------------Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.com Dig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/--------------------------If you think we deserve it, please leave us a 5-Star Review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Hello and rock and roll. You have landed on Renegade Files, your underground connection to Paranormal Tales, Unsolved Mysteries, and Covert Culture. I'm your host Lex Gordon from parts unkown broadcasting a pirate radio signal from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 60, The Fermi Paradox: The Case of the Missing Aliens.  Our Milky Way Galaxy is so large that it bends the mind to fathom it, and it's a mere spec among billions of other galaxies in a staggeringly large and complex Universe.  In such a vast landscape there are, very likely, billions of stars with planets capable of supporting life… and yet, we don't see or hear billions of extraterrestrial civilizations flying around, neither when we look to the heavens casually, nor when we search exhaustively.  In a famous conversation astrophysicist Enrico Fermi asked a simple question: “Where is everybody?” This question, combined with the enormous numbers of potentially habitable planets in the Universe is the basis for what we know as, The Fermi Paradox. In this episode of Renegade Files, we delve into the theories and calculations that point to a cosmos teaming with life, we consider some of the valid or at least logical reasons for not encountering these probable civilizations, and finally we address the elephant in the room: is the Fermi Paradox now rendered obsolete in light of new and unexplained phenomena which seem to be piling up around every corner? This is a bit of a shorter episode… but a potent one. No separate summary, we're just gonna unravel the science then rant right through to the end. Like Sam says on Tin Foil Hat… "Nothin' but Bangers bro!" (You know I love that show! Check it out.) So come with me now and together we'll explore The Fermi Paradox: The Case of the Missing Aliens. --------------------------Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.com Subscribe to RF on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles  Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/  Renegade Files Episode 6, Military UFO Footage and the Pentagon UFO Report--------------------------If you think we deserve it, please leave us a 5-Star Review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

This is Renegade Files Episode 58, The Black Knight Satellite. At the height of the cold war, before any nation had successfully launched a single satellite, the opposing forces of the Soviet Union and the US discovered something orbiting the Earth. Both thought it was from the other country, but it was from neither. The object was tracked and studied by some serious people in the field of astronomy and their findings were confiscated and have vanished. Mysterious signals were received, much speculation swirled, and respected publications reported on the unknown object circling the planet. What is this object, where has it come from, how long has it been there, and what is its purpose? Join me and we will dive deep into these questions and more as we peer into the darkened skies and try to learn the real story behind… ((( The Black Knight Satellite )))UFOs , Aliens , Cover-Ups , Wild Speculation , Sneaky Government Hackers , it's all here so dive in! --------------------------Get RF Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files Get Bonus Episodes on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Share the show by sharing our website: https://therenegadefiles.com Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles On Spotify or Apple Podcasts, please leave Renegade Files a 5-star review if you think we deserve it, which helps the show find new listeners.

This is Renegade Files Episode 57, Betty and Barney Hill vs Travis Walton (Alien Abduction Analysis). Greetings Earthling. You have landed on Renegade Files, your underground connection to UFOs, Paranormal Tales, Unsolved Mysteries, and Covert Culture. I'm your host Lex Gordon broadcasting a pirate radio signal from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. In this episode we take a look at two, and quite possibly the top 2, Alien Abduction claims of the modern era. The curious case of honeymooners Betty and Barney Hill who say they were abducted into a flying saucer along a highway in 1961, and Lumberjack Travis Walton who claimed to have been abducted by aliens into a UFO from a forestry operation in 1975. This episode is a bit more casual, and I'm just going to go over the cases and explore my own opinions about the stories, see what similarities we can find, and in the end try to land on a conclusion about all of this. Just like you, I love all the topics of high strangeness. I believe there likely to be vast life in the cosmos, and we know there are many unsolved mysteries right here on Earth. But I will admit that the subject of Alien Abductions, is one topic about which I'm quite skeptical. As Carl Sagan said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”So on this episode we dive deep into the stories of Alien Abductions as told by two of the most well-known to have ever relayed such experiences. We'll look at the situations, claims, witness testimonies, connections between the cases, and some possible motives for, or sources of, hijinks. Keep your eyes on the skies and come with me as we take a relaxed but thorough look into the Alien Abduction events of Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton. Get RF Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Help RF thrive and keep it Ad-Free https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Share our Website http://therenegadefiles.com Please help crowdfund the show by becoming an RFA Agent on Patreon where you will get bonus episodes not available anywhere else, all of the deep research done for each episode, free background music MP3s from the shows, and more.

You have boarded the USSS Renegade Files, taking you to destinations of Paranormal Stories, High Strangeness, and In-Depth Freethinking Conspiracy Research. I'm your Captain, Lex Gordon, piloting us to broadcast level so we can hack into The Matrix. Today we depart from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. Science Fiction is filled with Portals that can take us to other worlds in the blink of an eye. Fantasy novels use portals as a Deus ex Machina, to conveniently solve the real problems of interstellar travel. And sci-fi TV teleports the captain to the planet below, so he can keep a date with the green girl. But could Portals, Stargates, and Wormholes really exist? Is there any evidence of such phenomena? And what do the dusty books and brightest minds have to say on the subject? Follow me beyond the event horizon and let's find out. This gets weird and that's why you and I are here. When things get weird, we get excited. It's been 221 days since our last Caffeine-Related accident, so if we watch each other's backs, we should be able to come out on the other side intact after exploring the time-curved madness of Portals, Stargates, and Wormholes.--------------------------Support RF on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Gear: https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files All things Renegade Files in one place: http://therenegadefiles.com--------------------------On Spotify or Apple Podcasts, please leave us a 5-star review if you think we deserve it, which helps the show find new listeners.

This is Renegade Files Episode 54, Occult Magic in Modern Science. From our modern perspective we like to imagine that because technology builds upon previous knowledge to achieve gains, that we are at the pinnacle of science and understanding. While it's possible that this is true, it's also possible that ancient knowledge surpassed some of what we now know in certain instances, because natural connections and the cyclical nature of the cosmos were so much more a part of everyday life then.Science is quick to tell us that in the old days, religion and folklore were used to both explain the world and control the masses. Is it possible that when science replaced religion as a way to explain the world, it also became the new way to control the masses? If that's the case, then we can finally begin to understand why, time and time again, the old symbolism and myths of occult magic and ritual reappear in our modern scientific institutions and endeavors. So don the ceremonial cloak of mysticism and dust off your telescope. Join me as we travel from Alchemy to Outer Space and cross the tumbled stone bridges that make up the surprising connections of Occult Magic in Modern Science.--------------------------Get more Renegade Files content and become a valuable part of the show by becoming an RFA Agent on Patreon!

Greetings Dragon Cult Detective. Your credentials have been verified; you may proceed to access Renegade Files, where together we open the gates into Paranormal Experiences, Unsolved Mysteries, and Conspiracy Culture. I'm your handler, Lex Gordon, delivering this underground broadcast from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 53, Mind Control and MK Ultra. Project MKUltra, most often just called MK-Ultra, was an illegal human experimentation program implemented by the CIA to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used to weaken people and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. It started in 1953 and was officially stopped in 1973. Or was it? Was it all just rebranded into a dozen other names, pushed from the labs and individual subjects, out across society as a whole? This is not a conspiracy theory…it is a conspiracy fact…a group of people undertaking criminal activities for nefarious purposes. This happened. MKUltra is the 6-degrees of separation for conspiracy theories; over and over, multiple and varied conspiracy cornerstones, lead us back to MKUltra.This is a huge topic, a rabbit hole episode, and a deep dive that covers the origins, the FOIA documents that revealed it, some controlled subjects we do know, some we suspect, and the clues that point to MKUltra's handiwork in today's media.Many other podcasts and documentaries have gone over this subject but my goal is to do something more here. I want to go into this and find the deep connections that tie it all together and make it relevant for us today. To do that we'll hit the history, yes, but don't think that just because you've heard an MKULTRA podcast before, that you've heard the analysis we're gonna get into here. A bold statement, perhaps, but I'll try my best because I appreciate and value your attention and time. This is a huge episode and it's our longest yet. I thought about making it 2 parts, but this should be taken as a single narrative in order to fully grasp its scope and impact. I hope you're ready to get weird. So join me and we'll dive deep into exactly what MKUltra was, what it accomplished, and how we can recognize its legacy and indeed it's Modus Operandi in our current frameworks of popular entertainment, media, legislation, and societal controls. Score Renegade Files Merchandise at our secure shop: https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Get Bonus Episodes, the Dark Intel Files, and more on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Visit the website for everything Renegade Files in one spot (also the best link to share the show with your friends): http://therenegadefiles.com Please give Renegade Files a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify if you think we deserve it, because it helps the show find new listeners.

Welcome to Renegade Files you filthy animal! Once again we gather here on the weird side of the internet to explore Paranormal Experiences, Unsolved Mysteries, and the fractal edges of Conspiracy Culture. I'm your host Doctor Lex Gordon coming to you from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 52, Hunter S. Thompson: The Last Outlaw Journalist.  Hunter S. Thompson was an American writer who created the Gonzo genre of journalism, a highly personal style of reporting that injects the author's perspective and experience into the story being covered. Thompson's definitive works within the genre made him a counterculture icon. He explored themes of political and popular culture with a laser-like wit, purple prose, and an unapologetic, audacious flair that challenged authority figures and sacred institutions, while never bowing to either side of the political spectrum. He criticized American politics, media, and social constructs with rebellious sarcasm and a pure love of real freedom. Because he shunned the distant objectivity of tidy journalism, and immersed himself in the stories he wrote, he was able to deliver insights and observations that traditional journalists would have never noticed.  He was one of the first writers to offer alternative perspectives to mainstream media narratives, and as such, is a hero of many writers who value truth and common sense over spin and agenda.  So let's do this. Join me on a road trip into the twisted mindscape of a counterculture rebel who infuriated many, inspired more, and left us with, not only his own stunning words and observations, but a new way of both writing about and looking at this wonderful, terrible, impossible world we live in. As your attorney I advise you to rent a fast car with no top. Are you ready for that? Checking into a podcast episode created by a madman and listened to by degenerates with intent to commit capital fraud on a head full of conspiracies. I sure hope so. --------------------------Please Share the show by sharing a link to our website ( therenegadefiles.com ) with your friends.

Welcome to the first episode of Season 3. This is Renegade Files Episode 51, The Oklahoma City Bombing. On 19 April 1995 the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City crumbled in an explosion leaving half of the structure in rubble, 168 killed, and 680 wounded.We go through this event from the beginning to the end, while putting in order the things we know based on what the news told us, what those who were there reported, and facts that a few experts on relevant subjects tell us. This is a tragedy that most people never even question. Timothy McVeigh did it. He confessed. He was executed for it. On this episode of Renegade Files we ask and try to answer a simple question: Is it possible that the Oklahoma City Bombing story we have been told is inaccurate?

This is Renegade Files Episode 50, Conspiracies, Paranormal Experiences, and 2 Years of Renegade Files. And once again we find ourselves at the Pagan Holiday of Mabon, The Autumn Equinox, and another year of Renegade Files cases locked in the black cabinet. This show marks our 2 year anniversary and in honor of that occasion, I offer you the Renegade Files Pledge… I pledge allegiance, to the truth, and the weird world of Renegade Files, and to the Alternative, for which it stands, One Nation, Undercover, Invisible, with Conspiracies, and the Paranormal for all. Thank you so much for helping the show make it this far and for exploring with me the bizarre realms of Paranormal Experiences, Unsolved Mysteries, and Covert Culture. I'm your host Lex Gordon coming to you from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This episode is unscripted and a bit looser because of it, but you can still count on a good time. As a general outline, I'm gonna do this is three parts. First I'll go over some of the highlights and numbers from our second season and year two of the podcast, nothing too tedious…. Plus I'll give you some stats for the show and my goals and general ideas for the coming year. In the second part of this episode I want to tell you a few stories from my own paranormal or unexplained experiences. So, good stuff that I've never shared on air before.  Then in the last section we're gonna dive into my Conspiracy State of the Union address. So stick with me until the end and we'll have some good, old fashioned, weird-style fun.Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Website http://therenegadefiles.com--------------------------Music Licensing: Theme Song: “Steve's Djembe” by Vani, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 License.  “Radius Point” by Flow Lab Cult, DV8NOW Records, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.

Good Morning Ghost Soldier. Thanks for joining the Paranormal Investigator division of Renegade Files. This loose affiliation of ragamuffin rebels takes on Paranormal Events, Unsolved Mysteries, and Conspiracy Culture. I'm your C.O. Lex Gordon coming to you across the airwaves directly from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. And before we begin, allow me to correct a small mistake I made in the previous episode's introduction, when I referred to that as episode 35… It was actually episode 48.  This, then, is Renegade Files Episode 49, Haunted Objects - Ghost Files Pt2 This is the stuff of horror movie puppets, thrift-shop finds gone wrong, cursed idols, and possessed paintings. What causes bad luck to follow certain objects, or negative vibes to surround a seemingly innocent toy? Do malevolent spirits attach themselves to things, in much the same ways as they seem to linger in certain places. Are some of the most famous haunted items pure and genuine possessions? Can a painting come to life? And was it a bad idea to accept the handsewn doll given as a present from that jilted governess who turned out to be a voodoo priestess?  In this episode we'll look into some of the most haunted objects known to the world of high strangeness. Some are famous in these circles, and some others are relatively unknown, but all of them rank high on the haunt scale. We'll also examine a few theories as to exactly what might be going on here. Hysteria, folklore, or pure poltergeist intrusion? Join me and together we'll explore the creepy world of Haunted Objects. If you'd like to help support Renegade Files then I encourage you to join the Renegade Files Agency (the RFA).

This is Renegade Files Episode 48, The Overpopulation Myth  The Earth is not overpopulated by humans. Far from it. In fact, the opposite is true. Come with me and we'll explore the origins of this wholly unfounded myth upon which we all grew up.This fear has been driven by cultural messaging for as long as I can remember. My whole life and well before. In this episode of Renegade Files, we go deep into the Overpopulation Lie. Who started it? Why has it been so successful? And who benefits from such a well-spun, convincing, but completely false narrative? This time on Renegade Files… The Overpopulation Myth. Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Website http://therenegadefiles.com Help Support Renegade Files on Patreon, and become an active part of the show's creative process.

Hello and welcome to the show. You have dialed in to Renegade Files, your portal for exploring the Paranormal, the Unsolved, and the Conspiratorial. I'm your guide Lex Gordon, sending you this unauthorized transmission direct from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 47, The Smithsonian Cover-Ups. The Smithsonian Institution, often just called The Smithsonian for short, is a group of museums, education and research centers, and is the largest such organization in the world. It was created by the U.S. government on 10 August 1846, for, quote, "The Increase and Diffusion of Knowledge." The Smithsonian is named after its founding donor, British scientist James Smithson. The Smithsonian houses 154 million items in 19 museums, 21 libraries, 9 research centers, and a zoo, with its facilities mostly located in Washington DC. This makes The Smithsonian custodian of the world's largest storehouse of historical artifacts, scientific discoveries, artistic achievement, technological milestones, and natural history. In short, the accomplishments and understanding of our world and humanity's place within it is, in a large part, what the combined knowledge of the Smithsonian Institution tells us it is.  But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Being the caretaker of Western Civilization's understanding of the entire world puts the Smithsonian in a unique position when it comes to exactly what and how they display what they put on public view, and what things they choose not to display. In this episode we will explore the conspicuous absence of some valuable discoveries which have been allegedly collected but never displayed by The Smithsonian, and we will dive deep into the reasons that these hidden treasures have many informed people crying, “Foul!” So let's explore the explorers, turn over the archives, pick the lock to the restricted section, and gain access to the Castle's private elevator. Press the “R” button for Rabbit Hole, and descend into the darkened corridors of… ((( The Smithsonian Cover Ups ))) -------------------------- Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Website http://therenegadefiles.com--------------------------The Kennewick Man Skeleton Article--------------------------Also a quick thank you to The Why Files, Operation Podcast for their work on this subject.

This is Renegade Files Episode 46, Flying Cryptids. By their very nature, cryptids are elusive, glimpses of them fleeting, and accounts of their whereabouts hidden just beyond tree-lines, below black lake waters, or in the green glow of night vision trail-cams. But there are some cryptids… quite a good few actually… that take to the air. Creatures that can't be identified, but that can fly. And if we are dealing with this or that cryptid that's added flying to it's powers, then it might seem like such a being would be even harder to catch, to find, or to prove. However, the interesting thing about this situation is, that when something is flying, it has left the tree cover and the darkened caves and once airborne, people can, and do see them. So because of this, the world of flying cryptids is also the world of mass sightings, multiple events, and perennial experiences. So come along. Adventure awaits. I'm your captain, Lex Gordon. Buckle up, kick back, and come with me to fly the freaky skies.--------------------------Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Website http://therenegadefiles.com--------------------------Nicolas Elberg's research document Batsquatch Monitoring: Where Should Research Stations Be Constructed?If you listen to Renegade Files on Spotify, Click the new Review Button on the left below the main show description to leave a 5 star review if you think we deserve it, which helps the show find new listeners.
