Send us Fan MailWith Steven Spielberg's new film Disclosure dropping and President Trump's UAP files being declassified in real time, this felt like the moment I had to bring you this story. I brought on UAP documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir to break down something that's going to blow your mind — a massive grift happening in the UAP and paranormal world that operates eerily similar to Scientology, and once you hear the parallels, you will never look at these "disclosure" influencers the same way again. We get into Corey Goode, David Wilcock, and the Gaia show Cosmic Disclosure — the secret space program mythology they built, the lawsuits, the money, and a mysterious death that's sparked a whole new conspiracy of its own. I even tie it back to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and a cast member's own manifestation grift, so stick around for that twist. Then I'm getting into massive RHONJ tea — Milania Giudice has reportedly been sent somewhere very specific, and I'm telling you exactly what that means and why Bravo's version of events doesn't add up. I also have proof that someone very specific is still controlling her social media, and wait until you hear how I figured it out. Plus, there's a wild detail about what really happened the day the police were called that nobody's talking about, and a rumor about who might be stepping back from the show entirely this season. Then it's a full Summer House breakdown — the real reason behind West Wilson's alleged master plan to take over the show, what really went down between him, Amanda Batula, and the rest of the cast, plus Meija Moreno's side of the story that didn't make it to air and the explosive cut scene with Lindsay Hubbard that you need to hear to believe.

The Decoders wrap up cult season by dissecting a titan of the cult scene, the founder of Scientology, Lafayette Ronald Hubbard or L. Ron for short. A prolific science fiction author, L. Ron founded an alternative self-help movement and then developed it into his cosmic self-help 'religion' of Scientology.Scientology has now been the subject of multiple documentaries and even a fairly detailed South Park parody episode, so it feels like many are aware of the general 'deal' of Scientology. But how about L. Rob Hubbard as a guru... how many people have actually taken the time to sit down and just hear the guy out? Here at DTG HQ, we are all about the good-faith deep dives, so we decided to devote some time to analysing a 1966 Rhodesian TV interview with L. Ron Hubbard, in which a friendly Scientologist interviewer (not identified as such) politely tees up Hubbard to explain Scientology.So join us to find out how L. Ron invented a “workable science,” a “religion of religions,” and a self-help machine that raises IQ, fixes life problems, and proves life after death. By modern standards L. Ron can seem a bit quaint, but because of that, he serves as a useful primer in the core techniques of Guru manipulation, including narcissistic invented biographies, disdain for materialism, a persecution complex, flattery of followers, and anti-establishment disparagement. All of the classics are on display!So get ready to wake up to your true potential, process your engrams, and so forth.LinksSource Material Interview: Interview with L.

Satanic NASA conspiracy theories launch headfirst into the absolute brain-rot of the internet to expose the "Satanic origins" of rocket science. If you want to understand how devil-worshipping explosives nerd Jack Parsons became the bizarre link between Aleister Crowley, Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and the Apollo program... then this episode is your ultimate deep dive!So is NASA anti-Christian, or are conspiracy theorists just bad at spelling? This week, Judas and Lexi tackle the wild history behind the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the literal sex cults that fueled early American rocketry. We track Jack Parsons' "Suicide Squad" testing rockets at Devil's Gate on Halloween, uncover the truth behind L. Ron Hubbard running off with Parsons' money to buy yachts, and find out what really happens when two lonely occult nerds get together with some sacred tablets.But we don't stop at the 1940s sex magic. We go deep into modern internet lunacy, exploring why Flat Earth weirdos think the NASA logo vector is actually a serpent's tongue, the "Apollo vs. Apollyon" demon panic from the Book of Revelation, and the truth behind Project Blue Beam's fake second coming. From a 1960s tracking network acronym literally spelling out "SATAN," to the hilarious math behind why trolls claim "NASA" is just "Satan minus the T," we prove that demonizing science has always been the ultimate coping mechanism for dummies.Support the ShowWe're missing more than just the 'T' here!

Golden Pen Award Winner Michael T. Kuester from Cincinnati, Ohio, with his story “In Living Color,” and Golden Brush Award Winner Bohuslav “Bafu” Argalas from Ruzomberok, Slovakia, with his illustration of the story “Saffron and Marigolds.” Michael is an engineer by day, a science fiction writer by night. An avid hiker and cooking enthusiast, he is a passionately curious individual and lives his life by the motto “In the twenty-first century, there's no excuse for an unanswered question.” His story, “In Living Color,” evolved into a surprisingly personal allegory for social isolation, generational misunderstanding, and neurodivergence. Bafu began drawing before he learned to read or write. That passion led him to study art at the private school of Applied Arts in Zilina and later at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno, Czech Republic. Bafu creates illustrations and comics filled with humor, emotion, and a touch of the strange, hoping to make people smile, think, and drift away from reality—even just for a moment.

NASA is preparing for Artemis II…but what if the roots of the space program go back far beyond modern science—back to one of the earliest rebellions recorded in Scripture?Joel Thomas connects the dots between ancient history and modern exploration—tracing a line from Nimrod and the Tower of Babel to the rise of hidden knowledge, false worship systems, and the enduring influence of what the Bible calls the Queen of Heaven.Because Babel was never just about a tower. It was about reaching the heavens… on man's terms.And that same impulse may still be alive today.From the formation of NASA to the origins of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this episode examines the lesser-known figures and controversial beliefs that surrounded the early space program. So the question becomes… did Babel really end?Or are we watching the same story play out again— just with better technology?This isn't about speculation for the sake of it— it's about stepping back and asking what story is really being told.Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – Jekyll Island feat.

The Authors Quill todays guest or winners of The L Ron Hubbard writers and illustrators of the Future contest guest Josie Moore Roddy Taylor Karah Richardson Tracy Eire Josie Moore grew up in the valley town of Westfield, Massachusetts with a voice that wouldn't work and a brain filled to bursting. Paranoid by the world and abandoned by those around her, she turned to art in her time of hiding. When she was scared, she wrote about it. When she cried, she drew comforting pictures. With the inability to pinpoint and process her own emotions, she used art and storytelling as her communication, turning her fear into something beautiful. Nowadays, she can finally leave her bedroom, but never without a sketchbook by her side. She attends the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in hopes of getting her BFA in Illustration. She spends her days doodling elves, bears, and silly little faeries and nights writing, planning, and…hopefully writing some more. Finally having an outlet to put all her obsessive, creative energy, she dreams of one day showing even the deepest crevices of her mind with her odd love stories and twisted mysteries. Roddy Taylor is a former high school science teacher, who decided to become a full-time artist and illustrator. He and his wife moved to Ellensburg six years ago after his son was born and fell in love with the place. Since deciding to go full-time with his art, he has developed his previous love for mythology, nature, and fantasy themes. His most recent accolades involve winning Best of Show at the Kittitas County Fair twice. His work has shown often at Gallery One in Ellensburg, including a solo show in the Fall of 2024. It was a fairly short wordcount bio. Find out more about Roddy at,… RoddyTaylorArt.com Karah Richardson was born in 2007, spending much of her childhood moving to and exploring new states across America. She met a variety of people though having prosopagnosia (face blindness) made recognizing them a challenge. Karah loves challenges. Growing up, she had a fascination with studying faces, assuming that she could “learn” how to memorize family and friends by drawing them over and over. This led to a lifelong love of art. She'd blend together a wide variety of separate features and piece them together like a puzzle, relying on others to tell her if it looks “correct.” Due to such an early start on such a potent hobby in her life, she quickly discovered many teachers, family, and friends wanted to encourage her to cultivate this study into a real-life Tracy Eire grew up far to the north in a place called Newfoundland. She has spent most of her life with one foot in the real world and the other somewhere else—maybe on Mercury, maybe in the realm of myth, or ... somewhere near Hobbiton. It's a place where stories breathe, where the old gods whisper, and where women step out of the fog wearing their strength and brilliance plainly. That is the space her art comes from. An oil and charcoal artist with a deep love for narrative painting, Tracy focuses on portraits of women who feel ancient and modern all at once. These are figures who carry storms behind their eyes, but choose the light anyway. She often paints the things she sought—or witnessed—in her youth: courage, grace, grit, and the quiet power of women who refused to disappear, even when maligned. It's no wonder her harpies wear couture. United Public Radio & UFO Paranormal Radio www.uprntalkradio.com

Behind the celebrity endorsements and slick marketing lies one of the most dangerous and destructive cults in modern history. Scientology isn't a religion - it's a sophisticated criminal organization that uses psychological torture, financial extortion, and systematic abuse to control its victims while generating billions in tax-free profits. In this explosive exposé, we pull back the curtain on L. Ron Hubbard's twisted empire of manipulation and reveal the horrifying truth about what really happens inside the Church of Scientology's walls.Prepare to be shocked as we expose Scientology's most sinister practices: the "Fair Game" policy that authorizes the destruction of anyone who opposes them, the psychological torture techniques disguised as spiritual counseling, and the prison camps where dissidents are held against their will. We'll reveal how they infiltrated the IRS to gain religious tax exemption, the massive intelligence operation they ran against the U.S. government, and the systematic harassment campaigns that have driven critics to suicide. From forced abortions in the Sea Organization to children separated from their parents and forced into slave labor, from the mysterious deaths of former members to the billion-dollar real estate empire built on human suffering - this isn't spirituality, it's organized crime.But here's what they desperately don't want you to know: the celebrities are prisoners too. We'll expose how Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and other A-list stars are being blackmailed with their deepest secrets recorded during "auditing" sessions, why high-profile defectors face decades of stalking and intimidation, and how Scientology's leader David Miscavige rules through violence and terror. The missing persons cases, the suspicious deaths, the families torn apart forever - Scientology leaves a trail of destruction wherever it goes.They call it a church, but it's actually a psychological gulag designed to extract every penny from your bank account while destroying your mind, your family, and your life. And they're still recruiting new victims every single day.

Today's adventure we are talk'n tales of a galaxy far far away, in a time long long ago! That is the tales of Marvel/DC Comics and the origin story of these tales...These Ancient Alien Cargo Cult concepts and ideas permeate our modern culture and society in the form of epic space narratives of "Star Wars" and Marvel/DC Comics big budget Hollywood blockbusters!Where do these Ancient Alien Cargo Cult concepts come from? Are these the belief systems of a small but powerful and wealthy group of folks who comprise a cult network of Ancient Alien Cargo Cultists, who seek to convince the rest of humanity of their cult belief system?It certainly seems that is the case with Marvel/DC Comics, at least in this dood's perspective! Especially in consideration of the "superpowers" and galactic overlords - sounds very similar to the philosophies of Scientology, a Thelemic offshoot cult.The origin story of the folks responsible for Marvel & DC comics begin in the Sci-Fi/Pulp fiction writers circa 100 years ago. Where these writers would be in the immediate orbit of other Sci-Fi writers, such as Scientology founder L-Ron Hubbard, via a Los Angeles based Sci-Fi writers club. In fact, that Sci-Fi writers club leader, editor, publisher, and literary agent for many of these writers in the club, a Hollywood legend named Forrest J. Ackerman would even claim that this writers club were both engaged in Thelema and Scientology! The specific type of Thelema was the OTO - Agape Lodge run by infamous occultist and rocket engineer, Marvel "Jack" Parsons.So, does Marvel comics owe its namesake to Marvel "Jack" Parsons? Do we see tribute to Parsons even in DC Comics' "Suicide Squad"? And lastly, can these patterns of this Thelemic fan fiction be exhibited in the actions of the actors who star in the Hollywood big budget films based upon Marvel/DC Comics?Anyhow, folks of the interwebs! Thanks for join'n us to get a lil GCD!

Celebrities like Tom Cruise have deep ties to this cult that was founded by prolific author L.

On today's episode of the Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt podcast we head back to the Grey Lodge in this bonus Twin Peaks episode only for supporters! This episode we're covering The Secret History of Twin Peaks book by Mark Frost! This is my brief recap of the book which will confirm that Twin Peaks S1 and S2 are connected to the occult. The story starts way back to Lewis and Clark who meet the Nez Perce tribe who provide the back story on the Twin Peaks jade ring and the entrance to the Black Lodge! From here we learn about the history of the US Government's control and psychological operations regarding UFOs- including secret societies like the Freemasons and the Illuminati. Mark Frost walks us through the story of Douglas Milford who connects lots of dots between the Roswell crash, Trinity atomic bomb testing, Jack Parsons opening gateways with Aleister Crowley and L Ron Hubbard, sex magick and much more! We learn about the various UFO conspiracies- Maury Island, MJ12, PROJECT SIGN, PROJECT GRUDGE and PROJECT BLUEBOOK which leads us back into Twin Peaks and Glastonbury Grove. We'll revisit the theories from the synchromystic himself- James Shelby Downard who gave us the true occult story of the JFK death ritual: the desert portals of Alamogordo-Jornada del Muerto where the alchemical destruction of primordial matter happened. He said that all things hidden must be revealed- and that's what we're going to do today!See images discussed on Isaac's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isaacweishaupt/Index of Twin Peaks Grey Lodge series: https://illuminatiwatcher.com/twin-peaks-occult-symbolism-guide-enter-the-grey-lodge/Links:Paolo Harris and the 1945 Trinity UFO Crash: Aliens Nuclear Portals & Unexplained Artifacts! https://www.illuminatiwatcher.com/paolo-harris-and-the-1945-trinity-ufo-crash-aliens-nuclear-portals-unexplained-artifactsJack Parsons 3-part series on my other podcast Breaking Social Norms:Jack Parsons Pt 1: Strange Angel, Crowley's Thelema, Occult Rituals & More! https://breakingsocialnorms.com/2023/05/23/jack-parsons-pt-1-strange-angel-crowleys-thelema-occult-rituals-more/Jack Parsons Pt 2: Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n' Roll, Communism & Invoking Satan! https://breakingsocialnorms.com/2023/06/03/jack-parsons-pt-2-sex-drugs-and-rock-n-roll-communism-invoking-satan/Jack Parsons Pt 3: Marjorie Cameron and the Babalon Working Ritual! https://breakingsocialnorms.com/2023/06/07/jack-parsons-pt-3-marjorie-cameron-and-the-babalon-working-ritual/SUPPORTER FEEDS: Go ad-free with 160+ bonus episodes, early access and books!Patreon.com/IlluminatiWatcher,VIP Section (*with comparsion of Apple vs Patreon vs VIP): https://illuminatiwatcher.com/members-section/Apple Podcasts Premium!
