Where do conspiracy theories come from? Why do people believe them? What do they mean? Did the CIA drug people with LSD against their will? Is Queen Elizabeth a reptilian? We consider the merits and pitfalls of conspiracy theories, trace the history and evolution of the conspiratorial tradition from rumors about lepers in the 1300s to Alex Jones and Q-Anon, and examine the biases and double standards built into the very concept of “conspiracy theories.” This is it: the most thorough, fair, and impartial examination of conspiracy theories that you will ever find anywhere.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are with guest Jesse Walker. Jesse is books editor at Reason and author of two books, The United States of Paranoia and Rebels On the Air. He can be found on Twitter at @notjessewalker.Jesse's Music Pick: Willie NelsonIn Part Two, we pick up Willie's story at his commercial breakthrough, Red Headed Stranger (1975). This opens a window in which Willie records frequent number one albums on the country charts and often dents the pop charts with his records, as well.What's changed? Well, Willie stops writing music for himself for an awfully long stretch. It's somewhat ironic that his biggest successes in this era will come from other people's songs after Willie's writing helped so many artists move product in the years prior.Near the height of “Outlaw Country,” Willie takes a sharp left turn by recording an album's worth of compositions from the Great American Songbook. Stardust becomes a huge hit and allows Willie to do what he wants. Specifically, that means a series of tribute albums and duet albums in the late '70s.The '80s would bring a string of crossover hits like "On the Road Again," "To All the Girls I Loved Before," "Pancho and Lefty," and "Seven Spanish Angels.” Always on My Mind was a HUGELY popular album at the time but signaled the end of a certain creative era for Willie. He writes again on Tougher Than Leather to mixed returns and the rest of the decade would see occasional hits among a plethora of releases.The 1990s kick off with Willie's tax trouble and a pretty great release meant to raise money to pay back the government. We dive into Who'll Buy My Memories and other highlights from an interesting decade of music, with Across the Borderline, Moonlight Becomes You, Spirit, and Teatro (with Daniel Lanois producing) among his best work.Willie has continued his firehose release schedule to this day, with a new album on the shelves just a couple months ago. We skim through the latter portion of his career, stopping to shine a light on a few of the more worthwhile albums.Over two parts and more than six hours, we hope to give both die-hard Willie fans and those new to the artist an overview of what made him so great.

He can be found on Twitter at @notjessewalker.Jesse's Music Pick: Willie NelsonSure, in the past here on Political Beats we have dabbled in country-ish music. We've dipped our toes in the water of alt-country and country rock. But this, friends, is a full-fledged belly flip into the world of COUNTRY. Welcome to Willie Nelson, Part One. The show may never be the same.In Part One, we take Willie from his early songwriting days up through Phases and Stages. That's right -- it's 3+ hours and we don't even get to Red Headed Stranger. That's how much we have to say about Willie.We discuss much more than the music in this one. For example, we ask why country music's greatest albums are not considered among popular music's greatest as well? Why do we cabin them off to one side? How should we consider the songwriter versus the performer? Why would someone like Willie, early on at least, successful at one but not the other. And the voice. The delivery. What makes Willie truly Willie?From Liberty to RCA to Atlantic, all of Willie's record labels are represented on the show. It's a straight-up crime that some of these records aren't routinely listed among the greatest American albums of all-time. However, that's the silo country music finds itself in, at times. We try to bust through that silo.It's an exciting mix of styles and eras with entertainment and information for newbies and hardcore fans. Relax in any way you see fit, grab a bit of yesterday's wine, and be amazed at how time slips away when you listen to Political Beats. You can even stay in your underwear, if you like.

We discuss the Capitol riot and why it reveals not a unified front but a highly fractured right-wing fringe, and the continuities between liberal establishment paranoia of recent years and the militia panic of the 90s. Jesse also makes the case that playful internet conspiracy theorizing is a continuation of the much older "ironic style" of paranoia that originated with figures like Kerry Thornley and Robert Anton Wilson in the 1960s. Finally, we critique Adam Curtis's treatment of all these themes in his new film "Can't Get You Out of My Head." https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-united-states-of-paranoia-jesse-walker https://reason.com/people/jesse-walker/

https://fitbeyondforty.life/“Am I going to make it?”This was the main thought going through my head as I held my daughter in my arms for the first time. I was 43 years old… I was obese, had high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, painful chronic inflammation, low testosterone and the list goes on and on. I worked too many hours at my corporate job and even though I believed I was mostly doing the right things with regards to my health, I just kept getting sicker. The doctors prescribed medication, surgery and advice like “watch your sugar.” None of that made me better.I knew I needed to make a change. Over the years I’d tried dozens of diets and workout programs with varied levels of success. I tried Atkins, juice cleanses, Paleo, Keto, P90x, insane cardio, HCG (that one worked REALLY WELL… until I stopped then POOF – I ballooned again!) After all of those years of struggle, there I sat… fatter and in worse health than ever.I was imagining a future where I might not be around to see my daughter graduate from college, or walk down the aisle, or even meet my grandkids! And even if I were blessed enough to still be around for these moments in the future, what version of me would be there for her? Would I be able to walk the aisle without losing my breath? Would I be able to take the grandkids to Disney without riding around on a scooter? Could I travel with my family anywhere in the world without them having to “give me special attention”? Or worse… Would I be dependent on her to take care of me?I understood that my future depended solely on what I did right now. But up to this point… everything I’d tried had failed. Over the next three years, I experimented with different tactics before finally discovering how to not only get into the best shape of my life, but to MAINTAIN it forever. That was the key.I reversed every negative health condition, lost the weight and increased my self-confidence. Maybe the natural testosterone boost had a little something to do with the confidence boost as well! I have more energy and focus. And most importantly, I KNOW that I’m doing everything in my power to be the best husband and father I can be.

Jesse Walker’s The United States of Paranoia presents a comprehensive history of conspiracy theories in American culture and politics, from the colonial era to the War on Terror. The fear of intrigue and subversion doesn’t exist only on the fringes of society, but has always been part of our national identity. When such tales takes hold, Walker argues, they reflect the anxieties and experiences of the people who believe them, even if they say nothing true about the objects of the theories themselves. With intensive research and a deadpan sense of humor, Jesse Walker’s The United States of Paranoia combines the rigor of real history with the punch of pulp fiction. This edition includes primary-source documentation in the form of archival photographs, cartoons, and film stills selected by the author. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Purchase BookIn the conventional wisdom, conspiratorial thinking lurks mainly on the fringes of American politics — the "preferred style only of minority movements," as Richard Hofstadter put it in his influential 1964 essay, "The Paranoid Style in American Politics." In his new book, The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory, Jesse Walker begs to differ.Walker insists, contra Hofstadter, that "the Paranoid Style Is American Politics." From the colonial era, through sundry Red Scares, militia scares, and post-9/11 panics, he writes, "the fear of conspiracies has been a potent force across the political spectrum, at the center as well as the extreme." What’s more, some of the most dangerous forms of political paranoia are "the kinds that catch on with people inside the halls of power."
