The story takes place almost 4,000 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire, where Darth Malak, a Dark Lord of the Sith, has unleashed a Sith armada against the Galactic Republic. The player character, as a Jedi, must venture to different planets in the galaxy to defeat Malak. Players choose from three character classes (Scout, Soldier or Scoundrel) and customize their characters at the beginning of the game, and engage in round-based combat against enemies. Through interacting with other characters and making plot decisions, players earn Light Side and Dark Side Points, which determines whether their character aligns with the light or dark side of the Force; these choices affect which abilities are available to the character.

Voices from the Cornell Encampment: Malak

Protect yourself from the perils of modern technology with high-quality faraday products designed and developed by yours truly by going to RONINBASICS.com today.  In this week's episode of the Adams Archive, I have a discussion with Eric Moutsos. Eric is the host of the American Moutsos Show, the founder and CEO of the health and wellness company Freedomblends, and a former police officer who has been at the center of political activism in several different high-profile situations. Eric is the author of the book Dispatched, recounting his fight against leadership during his time as a police officer, and the lead in a recent documentary called “Non-Essential” which follows him through his journey of fighting back against the government during Covid lockdowns. We discuss the controversies he has found himself at the center of, the Israel-Palestine war, selling out conservatives, good vs. evil, and more.  You can find Erics social media profiles, podcast, book and more by clicking here All the links: linktr.ee/theaustinjadams ----more---- Full transcription  Adams archive.   Hello, you beautiful people. And welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on today's episode. I am going to be talking with Eric Mutzos. Now, Eric is a political commentator and podcast host of the Eric Mutzos show. He is also a CEO of the Freedom Blends supplement company. And Eric has been at the center of several. controversial events, one of those being almost 10 years ago, when Eric was a police officer for almost seven years, he actually had to fight back against the police department that he worked for, who was forcing him mandating him to basically be a part of a gay pride parade.  Pretty wild stuff. Fast forward a few years later, during COVID times, Eric was also at the center of some controversy, as he basically organized and gathered several rallies to help small business owners during the time of COVID lockdowns, as well as through an entire concert during the same time, where he had to get shut down by the state, fought back against that, and eventually lost his job. One out. So Eric is an author. He was also a part of the recent documentary, which outlined that organization of those situations during COVID lockdowns. So without further ado, we have a great discussion today about good versus evil current events, the Israel and Palestinian conflict, the college campus protests that are going on, we get into some conspiracy theories, of course. So. Let's go ahead and jump into it. But first, I do want to tell you about one thing,  what I want to tell you about is Ronin and Ronin is my very new Faraday goods company, which is releasing our very first products over the coming weeks. Now you might ask yourself, what is a Faraday product? And I'm glad that you asked. Faraday products are basically products that are lined with a special fabric that blocks all inbound and outbound EMF frequencies. And if you don't know what EMFs are, it's basically emitted by every single piece of modern technology. The phone that's in your hand, the laptop that's next to you, your TV, your microwave, your fridge, the 5G towers that are outside of your window. Every single one of those things is constantly emitting a frequency which affects  health in negative ways. Now there's been several recent high profile discussions. People like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have spoken about the effects of wifi radiation poisoning. You've had Joe Rogan have several people on his podcast discussing these negative side effects as well. Uh, there's, there's a lot of reasons that Faraday goods are great for you. One of those being protecting yourself from the harmful health effects of EMFs. But also protecting your privacy. You can actually use that same lined material in things like backpacks, cell phone bags, laptop sleeves, all of those things to basically eliminate your digital footprint, stop the corporations from being able to track you, stop the government from seeing every move that you make and every store that you make a purchase from. All of those different things, just by simply dropping your technology Ronin, you can eliminate all of the tracking that is going on in your modern world. Life, all of the privacy invasions, everything that's happening from the corporations to the government, they are constantly monitoring you. And the only way, the only way to stop that is by utilizing a Faraday bag and airplane mode, doesn't do it. Turning your phone off. Doesn't do it. They constantly have access with softwares like Pegasus. So help yourself help your family eliminate those harmful effects of EMFs by going to Ronan basics. com.  checking out our newest products, signing up for some of the newer drops that are coming out just this coming week. Alright, so thank you so much for listening. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, leave a five star review, hit the subscribe button. And let's jump into it.  The Adams archive.   My dream is to one day have a little homestead  I've got 20 chickens now, but my dream is to have a homestead.  living off the land the way that God wanted us to.   Amen. That's awesome, man. Yeah that's something I think a lot of people it's so interesting how many people got chickens after like post COVID. I think there's something primal that when everything goes to hell a little bit I don't know what it was, but it seems like  I fell into that too. We have a chicken coop out back. We had nine chickens that, that we had we even had ducks for a little bit, but it was funny because it's so many people that you saw.  Just chickens were like the first step that people took in their journey to like becoming a little bit, well, I almost think that's more of a realization about  the government, not actually being the father figure that was going to. take care of you that everybody thought it was. And it chickens for some reason was like the gateway drug into homesteading for everybody. Even if you live in a small city. I live in a, I live in a city area and  it was pretty easy to get to the proof through the city and everything. They just got to come out and check out the coop and things. But yeah, it was really, it's funny how many people I think ended up getting chickens as a result of COVID, which is such a weird correlation but Yeah. It's funny. So, and when you talk about homesteading  I think that was something that went.  That came out of COVID too, was the amount of people that realized that our governmental structure and the  protective layer that we thought our government gave us between us and the food supply chains, water all of those things essentially crumbled that when we looked at what happened through the grocery stores, right, I remember going to the grocery stores and all of the meat being gone. All of the eggs being gone, all of the milk being gone, and people started to wake up to that idea  this isn't a a movie, right? It's not every, it's not a things can go south pretty quick, and I think we saw that with, COVID,   Yeah. Well, and it's going to, but people don't understand. That was just the first wave,  of what I believe is coming, but it's you have to understand that this is all, it's all biblical. Everything that's happening right now, it's all this. God, knows the beginning to the end and he's already seen the whole thing out. And now, We you and I and listeners, viewers, we're now here as the test to see where we stand. Like I'm convinced this whole sucker goes down probably within the next 10 years. I don't mean to scare anybody, but it's evident that I believe God is preparing his people with like ideas of,  chickens and things like that. He's getting his people ready to leave Babylon entirely because as soon as they bring in this beast system, which I believe they will, as soon as  the, dollar dies.  That the, dollar dying is going to be very, intentional.  It's, not going to be, Oh, all of a sudden they know exactly what they're doing.  Just like COVID,  COVID, was the left and then the overhand right was the Vax.   And so then, so now  with the financial system that's going to go and it's not going to be, in my opinion, it's not going to be a recession or a depression. I believe it's going to be a collapse and that's why we got to be ready for what's coming because you're either going to have to,  where are you at on, do you, when I talk about this Christian stuff or you, do you believe in God, Austin?  Absolutely. Yeah,   Okay. Sorry. I just don't know. Sometimes when I'm talking to people I don't know.  But I believe that the devil duplicates everything that God does, everything beautiful he does. He's got to have a counterfeit to it, right?  And so this new world order is just the counterfeit of what God has always been trying to get his people to do, which has become one heart and one mind. Because if everybody did that,  it would be, everybody would share with everybody. There would be no poor among us. Everybody would, you'd grow what you need and you give the rest away. And that's the environment that,  consider the lilies, right? Jesus taught it. Consider the lilies, the  birds of the birds of the sky. You don't think I can feed you. That's the whole point. That's what, well, the city of Enoch was taken up, but  I'm, trying to get prepared for that. And even if that doesn't happen, which I hope I'm crazy, I hope that in 10 years,    you  know what I mean?   to be fair.    Yeah I really do like just get, okay, that's great. I'll put me in the ward house but, I don't think I am crazy. I don't think that  I believe that what's crazy are all of these people that have their heads in the sand that don't even realize what's happening. Our state of Utah, let me just read this to you. The state of Utah, we just won the best state, right? We just won the very best state of Utah.  And we're, talking about of what?  The best state of what?   Right.    We're about my our state is about to flip over to blue. We're  purple right now because we have a governor of the state of Utah that uses pronouns to little kids on zoom calls, bro.  It's actually, it's.  That's fairly surprising, too, especially Utah. Obviously a very big religious  sects within Utah itself. And I guess that's an interesting thought, too. When you talk about the dollar collapsing, right, you can speak about that from, like you did a biblical perspective. sense, but you can also look at. that from what's happening,  socioeconomically across the world, right? Geopolitically right now between the brick, right? If you look at the way that India and Iran and China and Russia are all teaming up right now, have all already moved away from the dollar. And when we look at India and you look at China, those are the two biggest world powers when it comes to industry today, right? It's not like United, the United States of America is manufacturing things in an extremely high level. When we're outsourcing our talent, our menu, when we're outsourcing.  I, have a business background. I run a business and several. And so when we're outsourcing talent to do  most of the jobs, we're outsourcing it to India and when we're outsourcing manufacturing, we're outsourcing it to China. And so when you have those, organizations, those countries that are now moving away from utilizing the USD,  the dollar.  In their everyday trades and I ran when it comes to oil, right? We're, messing with some very dangerous territory politically in getting into this potential escalation with Iran, with which and Putin's already talked about his response. What it would be if, situations escalated with Iran, we're already seeing tensions rise with Taiwan and for China, right? We are literally being put in a position where. If nothing else, our leadership is putting us in a place where our economic system could very well collapse just from the decisions being made by our leaders.    Yeah, that's right. Well, and it is going to happen. And so You know, the more money we give to Ukraine, it's going to start happening to the deep state part of Israel. I have to be careful saying this because people think if you're, you question what's happening with Israel or some kind of like anti semi, it's  no, the deep state has infiltrated every single government across the world. And so if you don't think that,  so look at Israel, I look at Israel a lot like America, the majority of people in America are good people, right?  But guess what? Those of us are questioning our government that's happening in Israel too, just FYI. And so just big, make sure before you start throwing your flags all over your bios, that this whole thing  is a  big, operation. And it's,  Even me saying this right now, I can't even believe I'm saying this from where I used to be even like four years ago, when you start to wake up to this stuff,  it's so, unbelievably overwhelming, but at the same time, when you see the big picture of it, this is all supposed to go down just like this.    Yeah, And I think that's there's been like a, almost a lot of weaponization of spirituality when it comes to the Israel Palestinian conflict, right? I think it's been really interesting to see the way that the right, like conservative right, has all almost simultaneously, in lockstep, decided that they're without question, right? And there's definitely things to question there, right? I've been somebody who's been looking at the situation and I, don't, like to wholeheartedly buy blue or red, right? I generally consider myself to be a more of a libertarian. I would say in a sense where I think less lesser government in most situations is generally a positive thing.  And so I don't really feel like I have skin in the game. Right. So, so when I look at the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, you see the big money and conserve like the conservative industry pushing and backing all of the influencers, all of the you see the daily wire, PragerU.  You see these large organizations  sending the biggest influencers over to Israel with a, almost a documentarian style videographer behind them. They pay for them to go over there. They pay for them to speak about these things.  And they almost have blinders on and I'm not ignorant to either side. I look at what's going on in Palestine, and I look at what's going on in Israel, and what happened on October 7th is, it's a tragedy. It's horrible. It shouldn't happen, right? Terrorism in any sense is absolutely atrocious.   but don't you think that it's possible that October 7th was a deep state operation within itself?   Absolutely. So when you look at  The amount of information that the, IDF had, Leading up to that  It's, staggering. It's almost very,  like almost gives you the idea of Pearl Harbor back in the day, right? You see the, amount of signals that they had. And then you, look at the IDF and see how much more technologically advanced they are than even some of the intelligence agencies that we have here in the United States, right? And then you think that 40 guys on big fan.  and parachutes     So, it's  so obvious. It's so obvious, man. It's  and now you got what? 30, 40, 000 people that have died in Gaza. And it's and people think, yeah, well they're human shields. It's they just dismiss it. It's no, There's innocent people dying.    Absolutely.   innocent people dying over here. There's innocent people dying over here. Like we should be standing on the side of innocent people wherever that is.    And    To me, it's I don't look at anybody differently, dude. I don't, I look at somebody as a child of God. Yeah. They might not believe in Jesus yet, but I look at them like God loves all his kids and he's just trying. And now we're killing each other like this and cheering it on and saying, we got to flatten it. And look, I've come a long way. Like I remember even when Trump dropped the big old what's that big old MAGA bomb that he dropped at one point.  I can't remember what it was called.  Sure. There was, I'm sure there was a few of those    I know it just come. And I remember like making jokes about it. And it was like, and they did hit that. They didn't go, Trump didn't go in and do what Israel's doing to Gaza. But I, the point that I'm trying to make is that I've come a long way in this a short amount of time on how wicked it is. War. War. In any degree yes, God wants us to defend  he wants us to defend that as a godly principle to defend yourself,  man, but when we,  it's so obvious what they're doing they want us in third world war. They need us in third world war. They're funding both sides of this, of these  little college  Riots that they're starting to have their fun in that side. And so then it pushes all these people. Now it's this war, but it's so obvious. Don't participate in it. Don't participate in it. Call for peace. It's  but that's what they need.  And you see it, the  conservative side of things when it came to what was going on between Russia, like you almost saw a complete 180 between the Republican party and the conservatives that were out there that always generally were a little bit more. Historically pro-war than the liberals or the Democrat side of things, right? You look, you go back to almost anything pre 2018 and.  The left was staunch in almost every situation across the board, anti war in almost every sense, right? There were the, they were the cool liberal hippies in the seventies. They were against Vietnam. They were  there was a complete 180 at one point, very recently where you saw a glimmer of light for their conservatives and Republican party, where they looked at what was happening in Ukraine and they said, no, we don't want any part of this. There's no reason that, this war should be happening. And there's absolutely no reason that our attacks. Hours should be going to fund it. Right? And, so When, you look at that now,  I was optimistic about the conservative party for such a long time because they were the ones calling out against war, against the war machine. And now you look and, they're the ones that are flying the, Israeli flags saying that they, can do no wrong no matter how many innocent children, women. Families, they bomb there. There's nothing that it's, all in the name of, and I think you, you pointed to something there specifically that I've noticed as a theme, anytime that they're trying to create a narrative, especially when it comes to these terrorists in the middle East, they always use human shields. I I was in I don't know, fourth grade, fifth grade when 9 11 happened, but I can't tell you that if I had to think of one thing in my mind that made them terrorists that the  mainstream media painted the narrative with, it was that idea. It was the human shields that completely, they dehumanize women and children by utilizing them as human shields. Right. And you saw all of this propaganda going out, right? Just like you saw with Ukraine, the ghost of Kiev that ended up being a video game. Right. You saw the,  women and the men being sent out in buses. I've done some videos on this and, you saw all of this propaganda being pushed out and the human shields is at the very top of the list for these people when they try to paint a narrative around terrorism.    well, and that's the only thing they can say too, to justify it as human shields. And it's just no, there's certain wars. When I was a police officer, if there was like a hostage situation, right. You don't kill both of  them. That's not what you do. That goes against every, it's what's the point of the government being there?  It's like we're trying to help. And, so that, that excuse doesn't fly with me  and all, I want to say on this topic is just be very, prayerful about it.  The devil wants the devil wants us. He wants bloodshed. That's where we're to the point. We've, already like swiftly went through this and the next phase of the sexual revolution and the devil's like really salivating for, blood at this point. And so my, answer  is, to, not do that. My, my answer is to call it out for what it is. Call out the wickedness for what it is. Don't call for war. Don't justify war because  if we have that in our hearts and if we really are going to accept that as a collective whole, that's okay. That what's happening say in, in right now in Gaza, if that's okay,  we're not, going to be part of, the kingdom of God if our hearts are thinking that's okay. Does that make sense?   Yeah. Absolutely. And that's the thing that I you said you, you use the word like the, noun of the devil. Right. And you talk about the same people who are pushing for war, right? Who are profiting from these things, right? That the people who both funded Hamas to become what they are today, who funded Al Qaeda, who then turned on us who funded. Almost every side of the war, and you see it as a microcosm with what's happening in the universities, which you alluded to as Well, right? Every single one of the tents that were being set out at these extremely expensive universities were all this the same tent because they were sent them by the organizations, the same organizations like APAC, who are funding all of this. All but seven of the politicians that are currently making decisions on whether or not to send money to Israel,  And so you look at you, you look at all of the narratives that have come out more recently.  And I, only mentioned this because you, mentioned the devil, right? You mentioned the,   Well, I look at, we talk about God, right? Like we talk about God all the time, but we don't talk about what the adversary is doing in his plans.  And he hates  when we call out his plans. He hates it. So bad. And that's why he hates people that speak truth.  Because he, likes to just, he needs to justify himself too, right? He fell from heaven, it's he has to be justified and so, he believes he's right.  And so that's what I'm trying to say is that  we, have to call these things out when we see it. And I'm not saying you have to use devil. You could just say, Hey, it's wrong what they're doing. Right.  I just, say those things because I believe this is a huge spiritual war that we're in and we have to start identifying it as such. If we're going to like, Be able to,  ascend higher. Maybe that's the right word. If we're going to be,  if we're going to be able to defend what's coming in the next little while we, the only words that we can use as Jesus Christ, like those are the only words that we're going to, that will have the power to, to not only stop what's coming, but  to, transform things. What's happened, what's going to happen where we have to start using those types of words, in my opinion.   Have you seen, And, speaking of that, have you seen Tucker Carlson speak on the spiritual aspect of what's going on more recently? Have you seen some  Yeah.  Yeah, he's right. And, I'd add  to it. He's absolutely right. And  now I don't know much about like the aliens and stuff. I really haven't got into it that much.  Is it possible? Sure. Anything's possible, but the, point that I think with Tucker, what he's trying to make is that this is very, we just see in the physical because we're being tested right now. God, is literally just watching us and he's just testing us. Yeah. He's  what are you, made of?  You got to understand that the kingdom of God is where he lives.  If you, look in  let's see first Corinthians 1540, it talks about degrees, right? The degree that God lives in that celestial kingdom degree. That is where kings and queens live.  And, so why I bring this up is because we're, in this test to see where it is that we are going to place ourselves based off of the decisions that we make here.  The whole purpose of this earth life I'm  don't you love that this is what we were going to talk about, Mike, when we were prepping for this podcast?  Like not one thing, right?  So good.   it's all good.   This  is the kind of stuff  That I  I think most people are thinking it. I think most people think about this kind of stuff, but to try and articulate it and then to try and because yeah, could I be wrong on this stuff? I could be,  but, it's so evident that this is such  a, spiritual test to me.  When, you talk about it being spiritual, right? In the most basic sense, you're talking about good versus evil, black versus   white. right. Huh.  versus light, right? And so when you look at, when you look at the things that have been happening over the last four to five years, we've seen truth as a fundamental weapon for the side of the good. And we've seen how often the side of the bad, right? You want to say black and white  the, side of evil, whatever you want to call it, Satan, the devil, whatever    they try to stifle the truth. Right? The truth is evident. The sun will always show the next day and it will eliminate the darkness. And so even if you just take it from the most simple sense when you look at something that says, who is trying to stifle the truth and who is trying to  It's very evident who is on the side of the good and who is on the side of the evil, right? And so even if you just say there's good and there's bad and there's people who are perpetuating good values and there's people who are perpetuating  evil for the purpose of self  inflation of ego for the purpose of integrity. Monetization for the purpose of the very same people who I'm talking about who are being flown to Israel to have a videographer behind them, to, to,  never  for a second to speak about the  atrocities that are happening in Gaza today.  Right? So if you wanna vet your influencers, you wanna vet the people that you're following, you wanna.  Do you ever disagree with them? Right. Because  if I, if there's somebody out there that I never,   Yeah. Oh, I do  all the time. And, I try, are you asking me like rhetorically? Are you just,  you're, do you want to know?  that was rhetorical, but you can go ahead and answer it.    Oh I'm just saying I, I do all the time. Hey, be really careful with this.  This could be very well a deep state operation. Hey, be careful with this. There's a lot more to this story stuff like that because here's the truth. We're, None of us are fully awake to this awful situation that we're in  and we're gonna get in a place where we might Be in a position where we're wrong about something and then you got to quickly check yourself spiritually hey Why do I feel off about this? Why is there something off about it? Oh because you're being deceived. That's why And so I try to do it to good people that I follow and there's some big ones and they're  they are hook line and sinker  on support in Israel under any circumstance. And it's you guys, this is  in Israel. This is wickedness to me.  And, it's clear, it's  God is gathering his people right now and ultimately there's going to be like really a group  I don't know how far you want me to hear about these like I guess Conspiracies you want me to hear   We go deep  on this podcast, so feel free.  when this system goes down there you're gonna have to bow down to one of two gods   Now we're all up into Israel and I, every single time, it's just  bowing down. And so, and I'm not saying that A lot of these things could be true, right? There's, a lot of things that, that, that could be true. However when we, go along with it, whatever narrative, whatever that, whatever the government's feeding us, if we just go along with that as if it's true,  we're in a lot, we're in a world of hurt.   Absolutely. And I think if you look at the government, right, you look at all the things that have come out more recently about the, not when you say the government, it sounds it's, the government is what, 500, it's like millions of people, right? But when you look at the government,   the federal government is the, just the federal government is millions.  right, exactly. So, so when you talk about the government you're talking about the governmental officials who we duly elected, right? Put that in quotation marks, but duly elected officials who have gone into these positions of power. There has been a unbelievable amount of information that has come out more recently. Let's say the last three to five years showing that those people, right? And this is when, we talk about my spirituality or my beliefs in religion, one of the things that was a big,  Part of my moving more towards religion and spirituality, having grown up Presbyterian at a young age and then moving a little bit away and coming back now  is realizing that all of these people in positions of power, all of the people that are holding office right now, there's a  very, large group of these people who have shown themselves to be  Worshipping the darkness, right? That have shown themselves to go in, in worshiping Malak at Bohemian Grove that have shown themselves to be within Hillary Clinton's emails, all of there's so many examples of this of, showing that the people in the highest positions of power have absolutely in one way, shape, or form. Gone to, you see it in music, you see it in the movies and the TV shows that are being pushed out. You see it in politics. You see all of the, highest positions of culture and society.   Well, you see it even with Trump and you see it with politicians on our side as if Donald Trump's going to come and save us, right? Yeah.  Right. Yeah, You go back to QAnon, right? The, he has the   military. in my opinion, a deep state operation.  Well and it did it, if it was, and it, and I think that it very well was,  if it was, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. It made people look silly. It de-legitimized the opposing opinion. Right. Now, if you were pro-Trump, right? Even just the terms maga or far right, or Q anon they, associated every single person who was.  Pro Trump to be a Q and I and conspiracy theorist. And then they took that to the furthest and said, Oh, they believe that Trump owns the military and that he can do no wrong. And really someday he's going to come back. And there was all of these, there was the very furthest extent. of what QAnon believed. But then even if you just take it maybe 10, 20, 30, 40 percent back from the craziest sides of their belief systems, when you look at what was happening between Pizzagate  and all of these more, somewhat considered to be extreme conspiracy theories, but there's foundations there's seeds of truth in a lot of it. But then you get into the very, very craziest side of it. And those were used the, very farthest Extreme conspiracies, and I'm not saying that Pizzagate itself wasn't, didn't have legitimacy to some of the claims that were happening, but what I am saying is that when they said that he still has the military in his pocket and any day now he's going to come back and be the president, he's really the president of the United States. It delegitimized all of the legitimacy within the movement that was happening of people who believed things that are very real, right? All of the people waking up to the very thing that I'm talking about this satanic worship by politicians and Hollywood and the music industry that were happening and what that entailed when you look historically for that, when you talk about. Sacrifices and how far you want to get down that rabbit holes,  but you see what I'm saying is that they utilized a very proven and true system to de legitimize the very legitimate concerns that people had surrounding what, whatever the movement was, that was QAnon to begin with that turned into what it was later on,      at this point, I think the most important thing that we can do is just get prepared  physically and spiritually, really that's it.  Well, what does that look like? I always try to tell people at least get a year's worth, at least a year's worth of food for your family, at minimum. I don't know why that year is  stands out to me. I think maybe  you look at Noah, do you remember how long Noah was on the boat for? It was about 375 days that he was on the boat.  It's, I think that  there's something to that year, Mark.  And And I believe that we have to have  at least the provisions that much that we can, because people will die, right? People will die of starvation. And so don't let it be you. Have water.  Know that there's water in the ground. Go to the lowest part and start digging. You're going to hit water. That's a lie that they tell us. I'm telling you. And they hate that. It's like hydrogen and oxygen create water.  And it's they've lied about how much  water is never ending. Just like oil. I don't care what anybody says.  I'm just telling you the truth. So,  get prepared physically  and then get prepared spiritually, which is get right with God  repent, we all need to repent every day.  And we all do stupid things. That's why Christ came. And if we're prepared physically and if we're prepared spiritually, there's nothing to fear.  Don't be afraid  because that's all you can do.    that's an interesting thing That I, think a lot of people, like I talked about that where the, creeping fear in, the, Realization of that through covid, where even the what I believe was 100%, one of the most successful psychological operations that happened in Covid was the toilet paper shortage.   That was amazing.   The, toilet   paper shortage  showed people, it made people freak out, just an everyday essential  . You didn't need it. Right. You can find, you can get a towel and wash it. There's so many different ways, get a bidet, right? There's so many different ways that you can deal with that issue. But the toilet paper shortage to me was a  shock test. So I I did a podcast, a full five hour breakdown on a document that it was actually leaked from the CIA. That's called silent weapons for quiet wars. Have you ever heard of that?   b  no, I haven't.    So silent weapons for quiet wars was a document that was found in a fax machine in the 1980s in from a  purchase of a IBM fax machine so they did a whole a wholesale sale of all of these materials that were happening at IBM and one of the things that was interesting within the machine itself was a document from the 1940s and 50s, I believe. And it was a secret closed door document by the CIA. And what it essentially did was it outlined everything that we're talking about here today. It outlined the way that they wanted to manipulate the financial Society, they wanted to manipulate the way that, that people engaged with each other. But one of the things that they talked about, there's a theory or actually a framework called shock testing and shock testing originally came from the aviation industry in which they would, take the, wings of the airplane. They would take all of that and they would put it through a series of tests and based on the information and data that they took back from that shock test, and it was literally like basically shaking the materials to see that it would withstand.  And how it would react to certain amounts of pressure and stimuli and,  all those things. And so they took that fundamental ideology of what shock testing was in the aviation industry and they utilized it to start to weaponize big amounts of data against the general public. And there's some really the most interesting document. It, I would say I've read is called silent weapons for quiet wars. And within that shock testing, the idea was we want to utilize certain types of tests against the public. Like how would the society react if we got rid of toilet paper and what they might find is that if we Have a toilet paper shortage, that people might start buying large amounts of water. and they might also start purchasing chickens. That's a very  real potential correlation, right? So they found these weird correlations and causations that happen due to these shock tests. And so I 100 percent believe these things are happening today. And the way that they're happening is much scarier than it was in the 1950s and 1940s that it was being weaponized against the general public because now they can use AI algorithms to do Hundreds of thousands of these tests at a time and see exactly how the General public is going to react.    have you gotten into all the patents? I did an Instagram reel on like the United States patents on direct energy weapons. Oh man,  Oh,  it's unbelievable. You can go to you. So I did it when it came to Hawaii, you can go to YouTube right now  and you can go to Lockheed Martin's Insta or Lockheed Martin's YouTube channel and you can see them.  Same, thing with,  like all of these major military industrial complex companies, they have like literal star wars type advertisements right now on YouTube  Oh yeah.  about direct energy weapons and, boasting about how amazing they are and how efficient they are. And then, they want to take the videos that you and I create on Instagram and they want to call it misinformation when literally Lockheed Martin has Dozens of videos right now on   Oh yeah,  man.  It's so the weapons that they have, it's,  and I, equate it to right now when we see all the things that are happening with the weather, I equate it to  I don't know if you remember in the old Testament  when, the Pharaoh, which is the government when, they were showing their magic to Moses, like their, tricks. And I think that's what's happening right now. I think this is their tricks the, what they're spraying in our skies, what they're putting in, the air, there's going to be project blue beam. You're going to just be seeing a whole bunch of  Really, fascinating. Look, remember all those lightning storms that were hitting all over the United States? Do you remember that? Just  lightning, everywhere. I was getting videos from   everywhere. When was that?    Oh, it was last year sometime.   Okay. Interesting.   a whole Instagram reel on it, but  lightning probably every 30 seconds for two hours straight, but  it was, you can tell it wasn't your normal lightning. It was definitely a weather modification.  And so I think what's happening is the devil,    Sure.   the government, whatever you want, darkness, however you want to label it.  This is their way of showing that  is his world. This is he's in control. And I again, I believe God's just sitting back, wait and watching  what, his Children are going to do.  then when he starts to speak, it's, there won't be enough bunkers that Zuckerberg can build that's going to hide the truth. them from God. I'm telling you right now, like when he starts to speak and when he steps in,  look out    And so you mentioned a couple of things there. The one being the weather modification, right? Talking about cloud seeding or,  I can't even think of the original conspiracy term at this point. What is it  for cloud seeding?   chemtrail.   Chemtrails. Thank you. Thank you. Again, same  It's been  happening for decades.   How many times, I was fact checked by Instagram on it, maybe two years ago.  You look at what was happening in the,  who's the, United Arab Emirates. Just recently they had a huge flood in Saudi Arabia,   Yep. that, that,  right. And they have been basically sitting on, every news channel being  so excited to share how much cloud seeding they're doing.   Right. Yeah.   It's so, yeah they, openly say it. It's so stupid that people  can't even, they don't even believe I'm a pilot. I'm a pilot. And I know, yeah. Okay. Well, how many doctors are out there pushing the V?   That doesn't make that to me, just because you're in that profession means nothing to me. I'm sure you're a great person. I'm sure you would never spray people intentionally to kill people. But just because you're a pilot doesn't make, doesn't mean that the government's not doing this. I'm sorry. I don't know how else, it's like cops, right?  I was a cop. I didn't, I had no idea how wicked the upper three letter agencies are. No idea.  I thought by getting into law enforcement, that was like the top  echelon of integrity. Unfortunately, it goes the other way around. The higher you go up, the more corrupt it gets.  And when you see that and you realize that's what we've become  as, an Amer as,  this, people that we, were supposed to be a city on a Hill, right?  When you see  that, we have become really the bad guys in a lot of sense, like really, if you think about it, dude, like  we were, you and I were good people, right? And your listeners are good people, but like what this country has become,  it's, right? It's really not good, like  really, not good,  the worst, like we are worse than Rome. We are worse  than Babylon of old, the United States of America.  And I mean that and I know that I keep bringing this stuff up but, it's so, On my heart that we have got to get right with God, like we've got to repent  because, when this hits, it's going to be too late if you don't have that light inside of you navigating this darkness.   Yeah, and it's actually something recently that I've been more interested in. Have you heard the conversation or seen some of the  discussions surrounding the collapse of Rome and actually Rome turning into the throne? Three, if you look at a map and you look at the  I forget the name of it. It's a certain monument that's in Washington, DC. It's also in London and it's also at the Vatican. And so when you look at this, the three different areas that, that these places of this,  Gosh I can't remember the term of it, but it's also in from ancient Egypt, but it was essentially a  a monument that, was utilized to show between Rome  collapsing and then reintegrating  itself into the new world, essentially by leveraging the United States as its military arm, London in. Where the other monument like this is, I believe it starts with an S. I, I just can't  I can't think of it, but London being the financial arm and then the Vatican being the spiritual arm of what was originally ancient Rome. Have you, seen that at all?     No, but it doesn't  it's all going to repeat itself.  It's all going to come together. That's what I was trying to explain to you is that  God's gathering his, his the house of Israel, like spiritually, I'm not talking about physically spiritually it's gathering. And then on the flip side, the devil is starting to,  bring in all of his house. Right. And so you're going to see all of these big the who, and  the you're going to watch all of them start to come together into one big monster here soon.   Yeah. Yeah. There's a really interesting you should look into it. It's really interesting conversation around how the collapse of Rome was essentially never actually happened. And it was really the integration of the Roman ideology. And that's why you look at the some of the things that people point out about this is that you look to the  the types of architecture that is in Washington, DC, Rome, and London. And the way that they kind of framework, this is that. Each one of those individual  I guess what you would call cities are actually their own individual,  areas outside of the government in which they are housed within, right? Washington DC is not a part of the, 50 States of the United States, right? It's its own individual entity. within that, right? Same thing with the Vatican. It's, it actually is not a part of the government. It's not housed within the country that it's in. It's its own subsection of that, right? So they can have their own laws. They can have their own rules. They can have all of these things. Same, thing with the, financial arm, which is London. And so there's a really interesting conversation that that, I've seen come up pretty recently, actually around that. And I'll have to, I'll send you some stuff on it. It's really interesting.  But when you talk about  the, spiritual aspect of everything that's happening here, when we look to the, escalation of tensions, right? We're at a time now where  all of the institutions have lost trust. And that's because  each one of them is leading with the darkness, right? They're leading with lies. They're leading with manipulation. They're leading with  all of the they're, trying to stifle the truth,  right? Each one of these institutions. So when you talk about the three letter agencies, the CIA, the FBI, even when you're talking about the governmental institutions, do you think there's any current institution that isn't compromised?     No, there's not, there are some good people within that are just quiet  when you say good, well, they should be speaking out, but there are some that are very aware of what's happening that are just trying to get their 20 years, right? That, that was happening at the police department.  It's  I there, there's these cops that knew these things were wrong, but wouldn't say anything about it. For example, Occupy Wall Street. Remember that I worked that downtown Salt Lake City when they did the Occupy. Salt Lake City and it was very dangerous chanting F the police and they only had two of us working at a time You know inside the park they would post this up there and it was like you guys there's only two of us and I put in a complaint and I got in trouble right hey there I don't feel safe, but there's only two of us while there's hundreds and hundreds of people Chanting F the police and you have me in here like some kind of a pawn like that's dangerous You And I and, trouble's the wrong word. I got in my my, my supervisor was upset, but it turns out that I was right.  Right. So, so I didn't get trouble on paper when it started to go up the chain. Oh yeah. Mootsos is right. We need more people in there.    So, so tell me about that. You were a part of the police force for how many years?     Seven.  Seven years. And so that was a part of the, what I alluded to a very beginning of this is you had some of the controversies surrounding that, that kind of maybe speak a little bit more to the values that you hold dearly to yourself. What, was the situation that you found yourself in that was probably the most high profile out of, everything that you experienced with the police?     Well,  and this obviously is part of my book too,  I finally made it over to the motorcycle unit. I've got a, I've got a crazy story.  It is a, wild story in those seven years.  But I finally made it over to the motorcycle unit and was doing really good. We, yes, there are police quotas, a lot of them.  And that was part of the reason why. They didn't like me from within is because I called out their quota system.  And,  that's how most departments, not all departments, but that's how most departments operate is based off of money, right? You got to get a certain level of arrest to not only get local money, but then you get federal grants  based off, of numbers. Right?  And  so when I,  when,   when, they talk, when you talk about quotas, is that like more of an unspoken rule? Or is that something they're   Oh, absolutely. Yeah, it's unspoken because they know that it's wrong, but they have, there's no other way to do it. When I was a motorcycle cop  we had, to get 20 points a day. That was our goal. Well, a one ticket was a point and then a DUI was worth 10 points. So if you got two DUIs in a shift, then you got your 20 points.  So I chose to do more DUIs because  I believe, that people shouldn't be driving around drunk, right?  When you're giving petty tickets, it just doesn't feel good as a, it's  and I'm not saying arresting drunk drivers feels good, but maybe I saved a few lives and I don't know about it. Who knows?  But, when you're giving out a ticket for some stupid thing, cause you got to hit your 20, it sucks your soul a little bit at a time when you're looking at a person who's just driving just how you're going to drive when you go home.  Which there's so many violations on the road. There's hundreds and hundreds of laws. I don't care who you are. You're breaking the law when you're driving somewhere from point A to point B. And it, so when you're writing these, tickets all the time, it's, it doesn't change behavior. Now, some people would argue it changed behavior, but what about giving somebody a warning? What about seeing red and blue lights behind you  and, that scaring you enough  Oh, geez I'm sorry. Yeah, you need to slow down and I'm not. Look, I'm, there are certain people that deserve tickets. Don't get me wrong. But  when you create an entire industry. And jobs based off of money that you're getting. I think it's wrong. Anyway, I called that out.  And I got in trouble, but with not actually getting in trouble, I got blacklisted in many ways. Once I called out the quotas and I recorded my sergeant too, just in case they ever say that it didn't happen, it did happen.  But when I finally got on the motorcycle squad, I was the number one DUI officer by far. I think I had 160 DUIs in that year. And then,  the next person below me had 85. I was a hard worker, right? Never been written up. Never had an IA. Never had, I never went to IA.  I had  I had awards  in my file. So,  I was,  I really, put in my heart and my soul to my career, right? And when I was a motorcycle cop, they wanted five of us to come in and they wanted us to celebrate.  in the LGBTQ parade.  So they wanted us to, they wanted us to participate. They wanted us to lead the gay parade in our police uniforms.  And when I saw that assignment,  I can't explain it to you, but it was, every it's maybe how people felt during the vaccine.  Don't do that. Do not take it. That's how I felt. It was dark and this is nothing against gay people. I just don't believe it theologically. Does that make sense? So I don't hate anybody. But because we live in this such polarized idea that if  disagree with someone's lifestyle that you must hate them. No, I love you. There's nobody on planet earth that I hate. I don't, some people I don't like and I wouldn't hang out with.  But I don't hate anybody. And so I was asked to trade assignments. I said, Hey, I went to another cop, and I said, Hey, will you be in the parade?  And I will do your traffic post. And he's yeah, no problem. So we switched spots. An hour later, an email comes down that says there will be no trading positions in and out of this. And I'm like, I knew that they knew that I got a trade, or they would have never said that because it's within our policy to trade. They were upset. At least that Sergeant was upset that I got a trade and they were going to force me into something that they knew was against my faith.  Because I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. That is the very definition of marriage.  And when I say these things, you have to understand I'm a sinner too.  I'm a sinner. I got problems, but I believe  in a,  value system that I try to live by. Right. I believe that we are. quickly devolving literally into animals. There's now furries in Utah in these, and I covered this story and I'm the bad guy for covering the story that there's a whole bunch of kids,  dressing up as furries pooping on the floor in some of these schools. I'm getting reports.   Well, you, if you The bad guy, I think it depends on who you ask. Right. And I think honestly,   I'm just saying in the media now,  I'm the bad guy. Like I exposed,  let me go let me go back. So, Because I'll go off on a tangent.  So they called me in the office, because I said, hey look I don't I sent an email, really professional, hey, I don't hate anybody, I love all people  I just don't feel that the police should be involved in this speech.  Because, it is free speech.  What they're trying to do is normalize it because the police are involved in it.  And now look at us now. What has the state become? Well, the state has become, ironically, the forced religion. The religion, that we weren't supposed to have a separate separation of church and state. Well, guess what? The L-G-B-T-Q to a lot of people is a religion.  It is a dogma. It is. It is a faith.  they believe this as much as some people believe in God.  And so, I was not going to bow down to that false God religion. Because that's what it is in my opinion. And I, and again, I know that there's going to be some people that are gay listening. I love you. And I hope you know that. I love you. I just don't believe that's the order of heaven.  Because God wants us to become like him,   Well, when.  He wants us to become perfect like him.  right. and when you look at the military, I was in the military, so I did four years in the Air Force, and when you look at the military, they would, you would get in trouble if you are found being a part of a parade, if you're found to be a part of a protest, and you're in uniform when you do it,  that's an  advocation   by the establishment, right?  So Like, even if, is that it's against our policy to wear something over your uniform. But yet the chief of police and all the lieutenants and all the sergeants and some officers, they're all wearing the gay  lay the Hawaiian gay thing over their uniform.   Right, exactly. And so you're, when you're in a position of power, which is what you are, whether you're in the military, whether you're a police officer, whether you're in whatever position that you're in, that if you're advocating for a certain  if any of the police officers that were in your unit wanted to go there and dance in the parade or support them while not In their uniform or representing the police force, let alone. That's perfectly fine. Let alone  forcing people to advocate for something that maybe they don't believe in. And to your point  I'm, passive in the same way that you are. You do what you want to do. I have no, no, problems with anybody who, is. gay or lesbian. Now, when we get into the,  TQIA plus    Well, and kids, community,   that's a whole other issue. It's, we could, that's a whole other speaking of tangents that we can get into is the, hijacking of what is a sexual preference into being what is a fetish, personal fetishes that are then being enforced on youth.  But back to the original conversation, which is that there's no reason at all. In my opinion, and coming from the opinion of somebody who worked for the government in a position that wore a uniform that would, we would not be allowed if you went to a gay parade in your ABUs or in your blues, your dress blues  we would have, gotten in trouble. Right, let alone forcing somebody to be in the police force to be a part of that and show that the police force is now advocating for this,  against  whatever their religious beliefs are, there should,  the Supreme Court has ruled on this,  they said, I believe it was the,  it was the bakery that said that they didn't want to bake cakes for somebody who was  asking them to.   Yeah. Jack Phillips. Yeah, that was Jack Phillips. That was about the same time period. Cause my story was about  2014 and I think his was either 2012, 2013. In fact  I ended up, talking to him,  to Jack Phillip. Yeah. Because when he heard my story and I guess I should finish the story. So,  a couple of days go by.  And I get this text message from my deputy chief, who's one of the highest of the high up in this.  Hey we want to see, we need to see you on Wednesday in my office. And dude,  my, my heart, like I, I immediately knew I'm like, this is not good. This is not good.  Don't worry. We just want to talk. And I'm just like yeah, I don't believe you. I don't believe you.  And it turns out they didn't just want to talk.  They  took my badge and my gun for discrimination.  And dude I, don't know how to explain it. It's even like thinking about, I go right back to that moment. It was like everything flipped upside down.  I couldn't believe what I was hearing  and I remember like I as a, shoot, how old was I? 30,  I don't know, 32, 33, right around that point.  I'm crying dude. Like I'm literally crying. I can look down and I've got tears splashing my badge and they took my badge. They took my gun. Like I'm some kind of a criminal dude. Drove me home  took all my stuff. And then two days later, all of a sudden  my entire, story, Was blasted all over national news,  officer refuses gay pride parade,  which wasn't even true. So it wasn't even a true story.  It was, absolute lie from the Salt Lake Tribune that I didn't want to protect gay people. That was the narrative.  And so. I'm now in, I'm now in like  complete disarray. I don't know how I'm going to, I don't know what I'm going to do. And then the police department comes out and condemns me in front of everybody. We don't tolerate bias, bigotry, or hatred.  So they didn't even do an investigation, bro.  They,   I was on, what's that?   and smeared you publicly within the mainstream media.   Oh dude  I didn't, even get a chance to go through the process. Right?  Hey  this is under, investigation where we can't comment. It's under, oh no,  don't tolerate bias, bigotry or hatred.  Threw me under the bus, dude.  And when that happened, I am, I knew it was over. There's, why in the hell would I want to go work for a, for an organization that doesn't, that is not inclusive, that is not diverse, that is not loving,  that,  that, is not tolerant, because that's who these people are.  They, are tolerant unless you disagree with them, unless you have your faith.  And so, That happened 10 years ago, dude.  That was probably the most,  it was one of the hardest things that I've ever had to deal with in my whole life  really.   Because, a difficult thing for you to deal with too, Because, the reason that  knowing at least having this conversation with you and knowing a little bit about your personality, it seems like your, values and your morals drive your decisions every day. And that's very   likely. dude  I, you got to understand like I'm a sinner, right? I,  yeah. You got to understand  I believe these things as an ideal, but I fall short all the time. And so when I talk about this stuff, people think that I'm somehow, I think I'm better than someone else. And I'm, and I do not believe that. I must, I'm like, I look at myself as a very, imperfect person who needs a lot of help on a daily basis who needs to repent. But there are certain things that I just, I can't live with. Right.  It's like I, I couldn't  knowing how I felt when that assignment came down, I couldn't go and do that and then live with myself. Right.  I couldn't     because I don't believe it.  It's crazy to me to see that happened in Salt Lake City of literally any city within the United States of America.   well, well, Salt Lake City like I said, our state, man,  we're quickly turning blue. And it's because we have so many  nice Christians here.  The kind of worship, not all, but there's many Christians that worship the gospel of nice and no quarrels, no contention. That's the highest level of,  of, goodness when that's not true. Like it's  we, have to stand up for truth. If we do not stand up for truth, we don't have, we won't have a, country. Does that make sense? It's like  we,  I try to articulate this to people.  When you have something  and you have a certain knowledge  and you don't live up to that knowledge, where much is given, much is required.  And so Salt Lake City of all places is that we should have been  a city that everybody looked to Utah wow, those guys got it right. But unfortunately, we are falling fast. I don't know if you've read the book, The Letter to the American Church, but on my podcast, I had a man named Eric Metaxas.  And he wrote this incredible book called letter to the American church. And it's just about how Marxism has infiltrated our churches  and it's all going down in the name of niceness.  You just have to, you just have to be really nice and not bring this stuff up because if we bring this stuff up as Christians, that's not what Jesus would do.  And, I submit that's the exact opposite. Jesus, his very first words were to repent. Literally his first words on his mortal mission, repent. That means that we need to turn back to God.  And right now our country is on the verge of complete destruction because of, what we've allowed from abortion to this sexual perversion that has entered into our school system.  That's, in cartoons, right? This whole they, them,  man, I'm telling you dude, like  we are, inches away from Being wiped off this, the face of this planet right now because we  totally, screwed it up.   And so you spoke to a few things there and I'll touch on a couple of them. So the first one being the infiltration of liberal ideology within the church. I can't tell you how many churches I've drove past. in the last six months that are hanging a trans flag outside of their church. It's in, and again I'm somebody who's struggled with their faith several times throughout my lifetime and is still trying to work on that and grow in that, aspect of my life and find myself there, whatever that means. Right. But, even just seeing that and being so puzzled by the idea that, there would be some sort of,  It is social infiltration of the ideologies that we're seeing that are very much founded in sexual perversion, right? Let's, put the Bible aside and let's just say you look at what's happening with the, trans ideologies the, hyper sexualization through TV shows, which you mentioned as well.  All of those things that are  the and, to find that within a church setting, something that is so. so.  I  don't know the right word for it. So sensitive, right? When you're putting yourself in a position of authority, when it comes to spirituality between somebody else and God, right?  The, amount of power that you can wield within that setting is alarming if you utilize it the wrong way.  We saw that  within some of the things that have come out from the Catholic Church and so the other ways that, that faith has been weaponized and utilized by bad people, bad actors within those, settings to, to utilize that framework as a way to push their own ideologies or their own perversions or their own  their own wants and needs, whether it be monetization, money, sexualization, those types of things. So to, to see that being outright pushed in front of a church where the very doctrine that these people claim to, to worship speaks pretty, at least from my familiarity of it, pretty clearly on those, subjects. And so to, see them just be outright just, Against the, very thing that they claim to, to represent is, pretty alarming, right? And, to say that like 2014 a decade ago when this happened to you, so to see that already within a community that is very of, I would say  any, city that at least I know of within the United States, Salt Lake and, Utah specifically is very, religious in, this sense.  And so to see that happened all the way back 10 years ago as a precursor to what we're seeing today, specifically, not  Yeah. the institutions of the government with the police force, but also within the churches themselves over the last couple of years.    Well  and I don't know if it was a vision or whatever, however you want to look at it, but I saw what was coming.  Like when I had my experience, I just had it just in my mind's eye. Right. Like when you think ahead it's like we're talking about the digital currency. We see that this is going to be a very, real possibility. Right. And so I saw. All of this stuff happening.  I saw it, dude. I saw the sexualization of kids, what they were going to do. I was even warning on Facebook 10 years ago about pedophilia stuff, about,  minor attracted people. I posted about that 10 years ago and people thought I was nuts.   It's unbelievable.    Hmm. was trying to warn people even way back then, this is coming. This is coming. This stuff's coming. And so that's why you can't change definitions like marriage. I don't care if people want to have a civil union. Great. Get the government out of all  of our,  relationships. Right.  But, when you start to change definitions, that was the floodgate, bro. And I said that, I said, if you change the definition of marriage, which is, Between a man and a woman. If you change that, anything can go. And now what have we seen? What is a woman? You can't even define it. The left cannot define what a woman is.  That's, how far we've gone. And what's next age.  That's what's  next. I'm telling you, there is no such thing as age. There's no such thing as men and women.  Kids are now animals in school. Age is next and it's going to be pushed at an alarming rate and we are going to be like, how can you even come close to participate? The governor of our state of Utah, Spencer Cox,  he vetoed a bill that would prohibit men from playing against girls in girl sports.  he vetoed that bill. Now, luckily the House overrode him or they, the legislators ov

Angels in most traditions are heavenly messengers, and modern pop culture has greatly exaggerated almost every feature. While it makes sense to assume that there are female or feminine angels, each one named in Abrahamic scriptural tradition is a man.The word Angel comes from the Greek Aggelos (lit: messenger), and the Hebrew word Malak has the same meaning. In this episode we explore the groups of archangels listed in various sources, most notably Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, but also including Raguel, Sariel, Remiel, and the Metatron.But more than just a handful of favorite messengers, there are also different kinds of angels, from the baby-faced Cherubim (think of the Renaissance Cupid, though Ezekiel gave them interchangeable animal faces), to the brilliantly dazzling Seraphim (aka fire-folk), to the cosmic horrors known as the Ophanim (the famous "biblically accurate angels" that are simply haunting wheels of eyes and wings and twisted metal)--that last one is dubious in angelic status....Angels show up all over the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, and the entire Quran is said to have been delivered by the same angel that brought Mary and Joseph the news of her pregnancy. In more recent times, works like Paradise Lost and The Divine Comedy have contributed a lot to how we see angels in Western tradition.Angel is also a fair label for demi-god-like beings in other traditions, such as the Devas of Dharmic tradition, the Vördr of Norse tradition, the Yazata (lit: holy) of Mazdeism (aka Zoroastrianism), and the Daemons of Greco-Roman tradition. We consider each of these, and how some are better fits than others for this label.Interpreting Colossians 1:16 to contain a list of angels is ridiculous, and nobody should be that bad at reading.All this and more....   Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop.Join the Community on Discord.Learn more great religion factoids on Facebook and Instagram. [00:00:11] Katie Dooley: There's a fine. You can go to jail if you... And a fine. There's both. [00:00:19] Preston Meyer: Oh, good. [00:00:19] Katie Dooley: Both a fine and jail. If your phone goes off. [00:00:23] Preston Meyer: That's a bad time. [00:00:24] Katie Dooley: Yeah. It is. You could always ask an angel for help if you go to jail. [00:00:34] Preston Meyer: Ah, there's a lot of stories of people meeting angels in jail. Makes you wonder about those angels, doesn't it? [00:00:39] Katie Dooley: Right. Well, we're gonna explain more on today's episode of.  [00:00:43] Both Speakers: The Holy Watermelon Podcast. [00:00:47] Katie Dooley: Yeah. So. I like that. This is. I feel like we haven't done an episode like this in a minute where we talk about a whole bunch of. We talk about a concept in a whole bunch of religions. [00:01:03] Preston Meyer: Yeah, it has been a minute. [00:01:03] Katie Dooley: I'm excited. So we're talking about angels. [00:01:09] Preston Meyer: Say it ainn't so. [00:01:12] Katie Dooley: Or if you were a really bad speller in junior high an angle. [00:01:16] Preston Meyer: I feel like. Yeah, I must have shared it on our discord this Christmas of somebody who shared a collection of angles that they brought to their family. [00:01:25] Katie Dooley: Yeah, there was a girl in junior high with me. I won't call her a friend because she wasn't. But this was when everyone was on MSN, so you had everyone's email. And her email was sweet angle and then some number. I was like, oh boy. [00:01:41] Preston Meyer: Mhm. Yeah. Spelling is important. [00:01:45] Katie Dooley: Yeah. We all have those cringey emails. [00:01:47] Preston Meyer: Well, it's like most people just cannot spell rogue. [00:01:52] Katie Dooley: Almost every time I see somebody try to say rogue they spell rouge. Now, being a Star Wars fan in a French immersion program growing up, I was not going to make that mistake. Instead, I made all kinds of other mistakes of spelling words the French way in an English context. [00:02:07] Katie Dooley: Well, that's good. Um, but speaking of words, tell us where the word angel comes from. [00:02:13] Preston Meyer: So the word angel as it is known in English. Yes, the the word angel, as you know, it comes from the Greek word Angelos, spelt with no Ns but two G's. Huh? You can complain about that, but English does stupid things too. The word means messenger, which is speculated to have been derived from the older word for mounted courier, which I think is just a cool extra layer of meaning to that. The Hebrew word that typically gets translated into angel in the Greek Bibles is malak, which also means messenger. So there's also the last of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible prophets. In the Christian Bible format because remember they arrange the books differently is Malachi and he's got the perfect name it basically just means my messenger. Was that his name? We'll never know. [00:03:20] Katie Dooley: Interesting. And yeah, messenger, mounted courier. I'm getting a lot of mailman vibes. Even. Malak. Malak. Malak. Yeah. Mailman. [00:03:36] Preston Meyer: Most of the angels that we see in the Judeo-Christian tradition are men rather than women. So yeah, mailman's great. So the frustrating thing is that the ideas that come along with this word over centuries of thought and baggage collection there's there's a lot of variety and meaning. And most traditions have gotten to the point where the word doesn't mean messenger anymore. Uh, usually it it's just thought of as this is a demigod. The word means some sort of class of demigod, usually with multiple classes. We'll get into that later. And in a lot of religions, you'll see them treated basically as demigods that have dominion over various elements because they can't be gods, because usually you're looking at them in a monotheistic lens. [00:04:36] Katie Dooley: Yeah, I can, especially when when you said it, we'll get into the hierarchy of the angels. But like it's like, how does this even work in a monotheistic tradition to have all of these layers of divine beings? [00:04:50] Preston Meyer: Yeah, they're they're residents of heaven, so they're better than you and me, but they've got great powers, is the deal. [00:05:00] Katie Dooley: And I guess we don't worship angels. I guess saints would actually be a worse sort of like knock to the monotheistic than an angel. [00:05:09] Preston Meyer: Oh, but see, I think it's a mistake to separate them In the Catholic tradition specifically, or any of the the Orthodox, the saint traditions. Lutherans whatever. If you if you're into saints, Saint Michael is one of them. Michael the Archangel, he's a demigod, just like Mother Teresa. Yeah and maybe with better reasons. I.  [00:05:43] Katie Dooley: Mean, can't be worse. [00:05:45] Preston Meyer: One has tales of actual divine power, the other is known to be just awful. [00:05:52] Katie Dooley: Yeah. Cleaned and reuse needles. Yeah. [00:05:54] Preston Meyer: I want to believe that there is a way to clean needles safely. But I know that actual health care professionals say, don't do that. And there's good reason for that. [00:06:04] Katie Dooley: I mean, you're probably right. I'm sure there is. But to, like, guarantee its safety is probably near impossible. Just donated blood this week. Right? Like it's such a small little needle. How would you make sure it was maybe the syringe part, but the little needle anyway. Gross. Don't do it, don't. Clean needles for all. [00:06:25] Preston Meyer: Yeah. Adding angels to monotheism. It does look an awful lot like demigods in a system where there is just one greater God. And we've had this conversation about how Hinduism, you've got a lot of lesser gods under Brahma. [00:06:44] Katie Dooley: Yeah. And I mean even Shinto, all the kami, there's greater kami, there's lesser kami. [00:06:51] Preston Meyer: It's complicated. And it just makes the argument for strict monotheism the way most people define it, a lot harder to argue. [00:07:01] Katie Dooley: Yes. And all the Abrahamic religions have angels, and those are the monotheistic ones. And people are vehement about the fact that they're monotheistic. And it's like, but then they're saints and angels, whether you group them together or not. I mean, even in Christianity, there's the Trinity. [00:07:22] Preston Meyer: Yeah, I saw a meme on Reddit the other day, and it was it was definitely a Mormon kid posting a meme slamming the Trinity in a group that has historically not been friendly to Mormons. And they roasted him hard in the comments, but all of the arguments they offered were absolute nonsense. It's frustrating. Like, it's it's okay to believe in the Trinity if you're going to believe in anything, whatever. But if you're going to slam somebody for not getting it, make sure you get it.  [00:07:22] Katie Dooley: This is such an old movie, but in Bill Maher's Religulous. [00:08:07] Preston Meyer: Oh, that's a lot of fun. [00:08:08] Katie Dooley: It is. He asks one guy about the Trinity, and he, the guy explains it that it's like water. It can be ice, or it can be steam, or it can be water. And that's the Trinity. And I was like, well, that or Bill Maher was like, well, that sounds good on paper, but it really doesn't explain it. They're different, but they're the same. Anyway, we're digressing a bit, but let's jump into talking about angels in the Hebrew Bible. [00:08:32] Preston Meyer: Yeah. So there's. A lot of appearances of angels. It's kind of a recurring theme. [00:08:40] Katie Dooley: Yeah, and not just in the Hebrew Bible, but there are also angels in rabbinic literature and in the Apocrypha as well. [00:08:46] Preston Meyer: Oh for sure. Yeah, the angels are, I would say, a pretty prominent part of this faith. [00:08:51] Katie Dooley: Yeah. And from my research, it feels like there's more angels in the Hebrew Bible than in the Christian Bible. [00:08:59] Preston Meyer: There's definitely more angels named in the Hebrew tradition than there are in the New Testament. The New Testament names Gabriel outright and then just mentions, oh yeah, and other angels showed up for this event. [00:09:15] Katie Dooley: And I guess also like the whole last half of the Christian Bible is just letters.  [00:09:24] Preston Meyer: Yeah, not a whole lot of narrative storytelling. Whereas the Hebrew Bible has a lot of really great storytelling in it. [00:09:32] Katie Dooley: Right. Uh, in the Hebrew Bible, the angels visit many people, including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and Hagar, and they're typically used as messengers, like the name implies. But sometimes they appear as warriors and they're supposed to look like regular people without wings. [00:09:49] Preston Meyer: Yeah. It's just dudes. They're just here doing stuff. And not a whole lot of religions love that. They gotta have the wings. We talked about this before. We recorded the biblically accurate angels that are so popularly memed right now, specifically one type of type of angel. We'll talk about that later. These angels look like men. [00:10:12] Katie Dooley: Yes, but all the angels with wings don't just have a pair of wings. They have multiple pairs of wings. [00:10:18] Preston Meyer: Well, you got angels with one pair. You got angels with two pairs. You got angels with three pairs. Four pairs. And then you've got the absolute cosmic horrors. Lovecraftian nonsense with gears and wings and eyes without number. Yeah. There are options. [00:10:37] Katie Dooley: There is some frustrating ambiguity on angels in the Hebrew Bible, obscuring the relationship between Yahweh and the angels. [00:10:46] Preston Meyer: In our Patreon exclusive Bible study. We're not yet to the really interesting. Well, I guess we have covered a few scenes where this has happened for you. Um, there's going to be more. So the appearance of the Angel of the Lord in the Hebrew Bible does have a pattern to it that I think is really interesting, that it does make it hard to tell who we're talking about in the story because of everything that's going on when it happens. The narrator introduces the Angel of the Lord, and then this angel feels pretty godlike in the way he shows up. He does huge miracles, sometimes annihilating a whole army like in 2 Kings 19. It's pretty epic. Not a thing you'd expect somebody who isn't imbued with God-like power to accomplish. And then the witnesses worship him, which, whether he's the creator or not, you're going to receive a great deal of gratitude for saving a bunch of people from a devastating army. [00:11:54] Katie Dooley: Yeah, yeah, in that instance for sure. [00:11:56] Preston Meyer: And this is a pattern that goes on several times in the scriptures. And I think it's interesting. Though it's always treated as though he is the Lord himself, not a messenger and there's a couple of different explanations for what's going on there. But I think whaneighbourst's very likely happened is that this text tradition that we have simply originally said that the Lord showed up and did this thing he's called the Lord of armies. That's one of his titles, kind of a big deal. He was a God of war as far as the neighbours were concerned, and fairly so since they often lost to the Israelites. And then later editors, I think, decided that their God wouldn't do this thing himself. He's too far beyond us, so he would send an angel to do it. And so they added this Angel of the Lord. That's my hypothesis. Pretty hard to prove what an ancient editorial process would have been without variance in the text that back me. [00:13:08] Katie Dooley: Right? The Jewish scripture also introduces four angels that will become the Christian archangels that surround God's throne. So Michael shows up in the biblical book of Daniel as the victor in a battle between nations. The name means "Who is like God?" most prefer to read that as a question. Who is like God? [00:13:28] Preston Meyer: As a challenge. God is the greatest, which is a weird name. latter-dayThe Latter-Day Saint tradition says that this name was given to Adam because he was like God, not terribly popular in the broader Christian community. [00:13:47] Katie Dooley: Gabriel also shows up in Daniel more as a messenger than as a conqueror. The name indicates the power of God usually has a bearer. [00:14:00] Preston Meyer: Somebody who conveys.  [00:14:01] Katie Dooley: I do know what the word means, but I'm like that feels like a lot of Rs. The name indicates the power of God usually has a bearer of an empowering message. These are the only two mentioned by name in the Bible.  [00:14:14] Preston Meyer: Gabriel and Michael. But, you know, there's lots more angels. There was an angel that Jacob wrestled with who later came to be known as Israel. And maybe that was the Lord himself? Maybe it was just an angel. Maybe it was Michael. Maybe it was Gabriel. Maybe it was somebody else that we don't know their name because he's not outright named. Except for maybe that Angel of the Lordbusiness. [00:14:46] Katie Dooley: Right. Then there's Raphael, who's features prominently in the apocryphal Book of Tobit, a story with notable similarities to the Bhagavad Gita. The name Raphael highlights the healing power of God. I'm just thinking of the Lucifer TV series. I'm like, I know that character, Uriel. I think he was a bad guy in Lucifer. He rounds out the set of four showing up in the apocryphal additions to the writings of Ezra. His name means God is my light suitable to his role as guide and instructor. [00:15:19] Preston Meyer: But wait. There's more. [00:15:21] Katie Dooley: What? There's so many. [00:15:23] Preston Meyer: So for a long time, it was really nice that we had a set of four, and they matched the four cardinal points of the compass, the four corners of the world. They took care of the world and the dealings of men within it. And then we got our Enoch literature. And we throw away this need for four and say, well, wait, we can do better. There's seven. And one of the ideas that makes this look good is that it matches the lampstand that's in the temple that has seven branches. So that's kind of nice. And then we get Raguel, whose name means "God will pasture" like a shepherding kind of business. He's connected with justice. He's supposed to watch the damned to make sure they stay within their bounds, which is kind of weird. Like, I guess without him, demons would just absolutely ruin this planet. Like humans couldn't do well enough on our own. [00:16:24] Katie Dooley: It also gives me, like, big, like, Hades vibes. [00:16:26] Preston Meyer: Sure. Yeah. He guards the demons that are locked away in Tartarus. Tartarus being a Greek place where the Titans are held. Yeah. You notice how there's going to be problems here of ideas crossing national boundaries. Yeah. Um, then we have Sariel. His name means "God is my Ruler". Uh, basically serves the same purpose as Raguel without being connected to the idea of justice so explicitly. Sidekick, I guess? Then there's Remiel, which means "God has Thundered". We talked about Thunder as a great nickname a couple episodes ago. I think that was. This is an interesting situation. He's connected to hope, and he's supposed to be the one responsible for all true visions, and he is also a bit of a psychopomp. That he would be the guide that takes you to heaven if that is your destination. Yeah, kind of interesting. This name is too similar to Ramiel, who, according to the same book, liked the human ladies too much and became the father of many of the watchers, the great giants in the early part of human history, when the one legendary version of our religious history has angels mating with humans to make giants, and they just ruined everything. [00:17:54] Katie Dooley: So there's Remiel and Ramiel. That is very confusing. [00:17:54] Preston Meyer: Especially when we're talking about a language that was originally written with no real differentiation between vowels. The vowel marks we have today are pretty new. So it's just a tradition. And so the confusion that exists today is certainly an old confusion. And then of course, there's lots of other angels that are named in the apocryphal literature. And some of them get multiple names, including some of the ones we've talked about. They're also known by other names sometimes. And the great thing about having a list of your favourite angels is you can swap them out sometimes and just say, no, this dude wrote this list. I don't like that one. I'm gonna pop in my guy over here. Just cause. Did you ever watch Dogma? [00:18:49] Katie Dooley: No. [00:18:50] Preston Meyer: We need to fix that. [00:18:51] Katie Dooley: Okay. Movie night? [00:18:53] Preston Meyer: Absolutely. Okay. Dogma is an absolute treasure. Part of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob saga but this features Alanis Morissette as God and Alan Rickman as the Metatron, and oh, why can't I think of the names right now? Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are fallen angels. [00:19:18] Katie Dooley: Oh, wow. It's ridiculous, isn't it? [00:19:20] Preston Meyer: It is so much fun. But the Metatron is just this really weird figure in religious angeology. I guess it never made any sense to me ever. And my first exposure to it was Alan Rickman. [00:19:36] Katie Dooley: But it is in actual religion, the Metatron?  [00:19:36] Preston Meyer: Yeah. Everything you see in dogma is taken from real religious ideas  and then twisted for humor, which is great, except for I don't I haven't found yet any validation for the Golgotha poop demon but, the ideas behind it are validated in many religious ideas so there's that. But so this Metatron, according to Kabbalistic sources, is the name of Enoch after his transformation into an angel when he was promoted to the great office of Heavenly Scribe. So he would be the one who writes down the book of life for God. Which is completely different than the job that he has in dogma, where he speaks for God. Because if you were to hear the voice of God, your head would explode and you would die. A lot of religions actually really buy into this idea, even though it absolutely contradicts what we have in the biblical text. [00:20:44] Katie Dooley: Yeah, because God talks to a lot of people. [00:20:47] Preston Meyer: Yeah. Well, so the idea that a lot of people have bought into as well. Yeah, it says God talked to them, but he talked to them through the Metatron. It's a stretch that I don't love. The name I think is really interesting for the Metatron, and people are going to argue about it forever, probably because we still haven't come to a solid conclusion on it. Some say that it's the Hebrew word for some sort of keeper. Others say that it comes from the Greek construction of Meta Throne, so that we have the guy in the chair beside the chair. Remember, we've talked about the very obvious and well-documented polytheistic origins of the Israeli religion. Yahweh is the son of El. There was never only one throne. So the guy on the chair, beside the chair, beside the chair, beside the chair, who knows how many chairs there are? Whatever. [00:21:50] Katie Dooley: I mean a lot. There's a lot. [00:21:53] Preston Meyer: Right. Well, in the theology that is evident a little bit in the book of Job, there is a council of God. [00:22:03] Katie Dooley: I mean, because even they talk about Michael being the right hand of God, but Jesus is also the right hand of God. So they're going to wrestle over that. [00:22:09] Preston Meyer: Well, so that's something that the Jehovah's Witnesses think they've fixed. They say Jesus is Michael. [00:22:20] Katie Dooley: Perfect. Wrap it up. [00:22:21] Preston Meyer: Rather than admitting that the Bible is very clear that Jesus is Jehovah. Every time you try to come up with a really good, tight little bow to simplify things there's a really good chance you're screwing it up. [00:22:38] Katie Dooley: Yeah, because it's religion. [00:22:41] Preston Meyer: Yeah. Nothing's ever as simple as you want it to be. [00:22:44] Katie Dooley: So I just threw this wrench in our notes because I started explaining the angelology of the Hebrew Bible. And then I realized everyone has angelology and it just be easier to explain what that is right now. So angelology is the ranking system of angels. That's how many angels there are. [00:23:09] Preston Meyer: And it's never as simple as you want it to be. [00:23:11] Katie Dooley: No, it's like I saw a ranking and then I saw different rankings and then I saw different ranking. So I don't think we've included any rankings in here. [00:23:21] Preston Meyer: Just to keep it simple. Stick with the basics. [00:23:24] Katie Dooley: If you're curious on how angels are ranked, pick your favorite scholar and go for it. So in the Abrahamic religions, Islam has no standardized hierarchy, but scholars divide up the angels into different groups depending on the scholar. This can be anywhere from 8 to 14 different groups. So while they're all on par, there's different species of angels? Categories?  [00:23:47] Preston Meyer: I think species is a fair classification, I guess we'll talk about some angels that definitely feel like they would be different species from others. [00:23:58] Katie Dooley: Then there are different types of angels that appear in Judaism and then therefore Christianity. And they have been ranked a variety of different ways depending on which rabbi or kabbalist you're reading. [00:24:14] Preston Meyer: Yay! Complicated. [00:24:16] Katie Dooley: Very complicated. [00:24:18] Preston Meyer: Um, the Hebrew Bible differentiates between different kinds of heavenly beings as well. And they're all called angels, generally speaking. But sometimes you'll get other great titles like Seraphs or Seraphim. [00:24:32] Katie Dooley: I think the best way to compare this is that there's dogs and then there's dog breeds, there's angels, and there's types of angels. [00:24:41] Preston Meyer: Sure. Yeah. [00:24:43] Katie Dooley: They're all dogs. They're all angels. They're just... They got special features. [00:24:48] Preston Meyer: Sure. I don't know if it's a perfect analogy, but it definitely helps with explaining what's going on here, [00:24:53] Katie Dooley: That they're all angels, but there's cherubs and seraphs. [00:25:00] Preston Meyer: So my whole life I've, I've never heard people say cherubs. But that's definitely the way the word is spelled. Yeah. [00:25:13] Katie Dooley: In Hebrew? [00:25:15] Preston Meyer: Yeah and even when we spelled it c h, it was meant to be like the ch in Loch Loch Ness. We just we've gotten used to doing all the CHs as cha- so we went with cherubs. [00:25:31] Katie Dooley: I'm going to start calling them cherubs at Christmas. [00:25:33] Preston Meyer: Absolutely. Even though a cherub is a thing you eat, that's fine. [00:25:39] Katie Dooley: Sorry. Go through your types of angels. [00:25:41] Preston Meyer: So cherubs are best known for being painted in Rome as children. That's just the deal. But it was one of these who protected the tree of life with a flaming sword in Genesis. We see cherubs on the the Ark of the Covenant with their wings and all that. Ezekiel gives them more wings than everybody else but Ezekiel was getting, maybe a little too much of that temple oil that we now know for sure had hallucinogens in it. [00:26:15] Katie Dooley: Nice. How many wings? Was this the three and four pairs? [00:26:20] Preston Meyer: I think Ezekiel's cherubs only had two pairs of wings.  [00:26:24] Katie Dooley: That's still four full wings. [00:26:26] Preston Meyer: Right. He also gave them interchangeable faces of lions, oxes, men and eagles. It's a little bit weird. Um, the same faces that we have described in Ezekiel. They get used again in the Revelation of John. So the name cherub, hard to know for sure, it may have been derived from an Old Assyrian word caribou meaning mighty.  [00:26:52] Katie Dooley: Interesting. So where we get caribou...? [00:26:54] Preston Meyer: No. Entirely different. [00:26:56] Katie Dooley: Okay. Well, because those are pretty mighty creatures. Yeah. Majestic even. [00:27:01] Preston Meyer: Haul Santa's fat ass across the sky at Christmas. [00:27:05] Katie Dooley: Um, tell me more about seraphs. [00:27:07] Preston Meyer: Seraphs, the name means burning, and they're always illustrated verbally or in art, in visual arts, as being surrounded by light. So these guys get described by Isaiah as having six wings. Other than that, they're people-shaped, but lots of wings. And so those are the two reasonable ones, because cherubs are always described as children for a long time as a kid or not as a kid, as a teenager trying to figure out angels from the Latter-Day Saint perspective, where we really don't talk about angels very much at all relative to the things we're talking about today. It's mostly you've got either spirits who haven't got bodies yet or people who have got bodies, died. And thus are still unembodied, or those great spirits who have come back resurrected with their bodies in full glory. And so you got cherubs would be the young ones who haven't got bodies yet. Seraphs are the glorified ones who have got their bodies and all the glory of God, whatever. Ophans have never been part of this discussion. The ophanim, the name means wheels, and this is a class of angels described only by Ezekiel and depending on your version of the Bible, you might not even recognize that he's talking about angels. So there's some argument on whether or not these even belong here. But when people talk about biblically accurate angels, the ones that are absolutely terrifying and monstrous, it's the ophanim. Sometimes they're called thrones because these gear monsters support the throne where God sits. And that's their deal. They don't visit Earth. They're not messengers. [00:29:07] Katie Dooley: Good, good. [00:29:09] Preston Meyer: So the whole be not afraid meme of no, this is the most terrifying moment of my life. The ophans.  [00:29:16] Katie Dooley: Were not those messengers. That's good. They remind me of the Bhagavad Gita. The guy with infinite eyes and infinite mouths, like. I don't want to be visited by that. [00:29:28] Preston Meyer: No, I don't think anybody would. [00:29:30] Katie Dooley: I think... That's is that Krishna or Vishnu in their, like, real form? I think that's what it is. I forget now, but, um, someone will listen to our...  [00:29:39] Preston Meyer: The Messenger was Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.  So these these guys are just wild. It's really hard to know what Ezekiel was experiencing, but I feel like he was definitely getting the best of the temple oils and the way that eyes are described here with all these wing imagery. My instinct is to say that he was also seeing and failing to interpret correctly because of it, wonderful intoxication, a peacock. [00:30:18] Katie Dooley: That's interesting. Yeah. That's a not a terrible theory. [00:30:21] Preston Meyer: Well, so the the tail feathers, they all got eyes. Yeah. And wings might be hard to see where one wing ends and the next thing might be a wing if you're high, especially the peacock just feels right. [00:30:38] Katie Dooley: Okay. All right.  [00:30:43] Preston Meyer: But yeah, so they are not visitors to Earth. They're not messengers. They're their own special thing built out of wheels and gears and eyeballs and feathers that support, apparently, according to Ezekiel's vision and some creative license and interpretation, the throne of God. And taking that into consideration and the description of the cherubs with the weird heads of all these various animals, it makes sense that there's some interesting sorts of ideas, like the they're chimeras of one sort or another, that we see all over the old world. And it makes sense that a lot of scholars would agree that some of these ideas are coming in they're very odd forms from neighboring nations. [00:31:35] Katie Dooley: Fair, you gotta make it popular to the public. [00:31:37] Preston Meyer: Right? Plus, people love stories about that. Weird monsters thing. So yeah, popular to the public helps. [00:31:46] Katie Dooley: Yeah. So in the Christian Bible, angels appear only as messengers and teachers, though there is a scene in the Revelation of John illustrating Heaven, where the four faces of Ezekiel described as cherubs, are represented. [00:32:02] Preston Meyer: We also get Gabriel. He's the one who showed up to Joseph and Mary, both of them separately, to let them know, "Hey, there's a baby in there. Don't freak out. It's Jesus." [00:32:16] Katie Dooley: Though I do love the memes about Joseph. [00:32:19] Preston Meyer: Yes, they are certainly entertaining. [00:32:22] Katie Dooley: Have you seen the one where Joseph is like, "I made you a cherry pie", and Mary's like, "we don't have cherries." And he was like, "God gave them to me. Do you see how stupid that sounds?" Uh, and then the stepdad, ones "I'm the dad that stepped up". [00:32:43] Preston Meyer: Oh, yeah, yeah. I feel weird about Joseph being left out of the story after the nativity. Like there's the sons of the carpenter or whatever, because Jesus had brothers. There's no arguing against that. But we never know about him dying. But also, he wasn't there when Jesus died. People just lost track of where his stepdad was. [00:33:09] Katie Dooley: Yeah. Angels who go undescribed appear at a few crucial points of the end of the Jesus story, presumably in regular human form. No wings. [00:33:20] Preston Meyer: Yeah. We got angels who were there when Jesus came out of the empty tomb. Well, when he made the tomb empty. We got angels standing around in Jerusalem when Jesus ascends up into the clouds. Reminding people. This what I'm doing, that they said he'll come back the same way he left. So if you find somebody claiming to be Jesus reborn, biblical contradiction. And then we have more angels in medieval writings. [00:33:55] Katie Dooley: Which is pretty cool. [00:33:56] Preston Meyer: Yeah. Have you ever read Paradise Lost? [00:34:00] Katie Dooley: I haven't, but I want to. [00:34:02] Preston Meyer: I also have not read Paradise Lost. I've only read about it. It's one of those great popular things that just hasn't hit my table yet. John Milton's Paradise Lost, written so, so long ago, 1667, was when it was published. Great couple of great poems. Angels are super important. We got the story of Satan / Lucifer. Because for so long, everybody just assumed Lucifer means Satan. [00:34:32] Katie Dooley: Yeah. So the two we're going to talk about, I, tell me if I'm wrong and maybe, maybe we don't know because we haven't read it, I think this is where the connection of Lucifer and the Bible is to the devil, because Lucifer in the Bible is not the devil, [00:34:45] Preston Meyer: Right? Lucifer in the Bible is not ever the devil. [00:34:48] Katie Dooley: So this must be where... [00:34:50] Preston Meyer: I feel like that's.  [00:34:51] Katie Dooley: And even in, uh, Dante as well.  [00:34:55] Preston Meyer: Yeah, I've talked with a couple of doctors of theology in my time at university, and there's not any solid consensus on whether Dante Alighieri, who wrote The Divine Comedy, was super influential on Christian theology, or if he was writing about things that he'd been learning at church. Um, there's not a strong consensus there, by the sounds of it, but very fascinating stuff. Not that Dante agrees with all of the thoughts on angels, but his thoughts are very well preserved. [00:35:34] Katie Dooley: Sorry, we are jumping ahead a little bit, but Paradise Lost is an epic poem. And yes, it talks about Satan, Lucifer. It also talks about Adam and Eve in a separate part. It outlines the hierarchy of angels. It talks about Lucifer, Satan's rebellion, the war in heaven, and what fallen angels are, which I read that there's parts of this all pulled from, like the Dead Sea Scrolls. So there is a... [00:36:00] Preston Meyer: Well, the Dead Sea Scrolls weren't available when Paradise Lost. It's been like 70 years. [00:36:08] Katie Dooley: But anyway it had biblical or Apocryphal references. [00:36:13] Preston Meyer: Yeah, yeah, there's definitely a lot of rabbinical literature that would have been some good source material for, [00:36:18] Katie Dooley: Because there is no fallen angels in the Bible. [00:36:22] Preston Meyer: There is a couple of passages that allude to huge swathes of angels being cast out of heaven before the foundation of the world. What that looks like is the matter of many hypotheses. [00:36:38] Katie Dooley: So we started talking about the Divine Comedy. [00:36:40] Preston Meyer: It's even older. [00:36:42] Katie Dooley: Yeah, and most people are familiar with Dante's Inferno, which is a part one of the three parts of... [00:36:47] Preston Meyer: Dante's Inferno, is great drama because it's the first part of a trilogy. And so if you're going to get tired and quit, at least you'll have read some of Inferno. But it's also the great part where Dante gets to slam on all the thinkers and popes that he didn't like and say, "Ha! You guys are in hell. I know, because I'm the dude who wrote the book". [00:37:12] Katie Dooley: So this is also written in a poem format, and he wrote it between 1308 and 1321, and it describes the afterlife. Obviously, the inferno is the hell part and Paradiso is the part that describes heaven. [00:37:29] Preston Meyer: And then there's the part in between. Purgatorial. For purgatory.  [00:37:29] Katie Dooley: So Paradiso describes the nine spheres of heaven. There's what? Seven circles of hell. Nine circles of hell anyway. Inferno describes the circles of hell. I don't remember how many. And Paradiso describes the nine spheres of heaven in the ninth sphere. I'm reading the notes wrong. The ninth sphere of heaven is where the angels reside. It's called Prima Mobile. There's one more sphere where God resides. So according to Dante, angels are beings that are most familiar to God, and they are made of an immaterial. [00:38:07] Preston Meyer: Now, what sort of substance is immaterial, Katie? But light is matter as well. Light is a particle and a wave. It's like when people say that God exists outside of time and space. [00:38:21] Katie Dooley: I'm, uh. I'm rereading His Dark Materials. They're probably made of dust. Have you read?  [00:38:21] Preston Meyer: No [00:38:29] Katie Dooley: Oh. They're great. They were very controversial when they came out of the 90s. [00:38:33] Preston Meyer: Sure. That's the, um, the Amber Spyglass. [00:38:37] Katie Dooley: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, so probably dust is what I'm going to call it. [00:38:40] Preston Meyer: Sure, but dust is matter too.  [00:38:43] Katie Dooley: No, in the book it's a divine matter, but they call it dust. Capital D dust. [00:38:47] Preston Meyer: Okay. When I think of immaterial substance, it sounds like they're just holograms. But I'm always reminded of, I think it was Neil deGrasse Tyson who said, you know, if you if your God exists outside of time and space, that's how you describe a thing that does not exist. [00:39:06] Katie Dooley: So like tug on the collar... [00:39:08] Preston Meyer: It's a really popular description for a lot of Christians and people of other traditions as well. And I don't see the need to describe God as outside of time and space, especially when it causes you the problem of now you've described something that doesn't exist. [00:39:26] Katie Dooley: Maybe out of time, but definitely not out of space. [00:39:30] Preston Meyer: Even outside of time doesn't make any sense to me. [00:39:34] Katie Dooley: I guess time would be irrelevant for God, I guess is my point. [00:39:37] Preston Meyer: Right and yeah, if you live long enough, time might not matter but you still exist in a state where there's an event and things before and after that. [00:39:46] Katie Dooley: Now we're getting into the multiverse and.... It's all great in theory, but very confusing in practice. So we touched briefly on angels in Islam because of their non-hierarchy but groupings. In Islam, they believe they are heavenly beings originating directly from God. Like little God offspring. [00:40:08] Preston Meyer: Yeah, but usually in the creation sense, like molded because in the Islamic tradition, the Quran is very clear that God does not have children. The Quran is also very clear he had three daughters. [00:40:24] Katie Dooley: What a holy book that contradicts itself? Say it ain't so. Colour me shocked. [00:40:30] Preston Meyer: It's tricky. But they would have been angels, not gods, even though they were definitely figures that were recognized as goddesses among the heathens. [00:40:43] Katie Dooley: It's fine. So the Quran is the number one Islamic source referring to angels, but there's also angels in the hadiths and elsewhere in Islamic literature. [00:40:53] Preston Meyer: I mean, the whole thing wouldn't have happened if not for an angel at least allegedly appearing to Muhammad. Um, good old [00:41:02] Jibril. The same figure that we called Gabriel earlier in this [00:41:06] episode. They're messengers, servants for God. And Jibril is the greatest messenger. I don't remember hearing anything about Michael and looking up things in Islam. [00:41:18] Katie Dooley: Um, they have sort of a 1 to 1 comparison I put in the notes. Um. But I don't know where they appear in the Quran. [00:41:27] Preston Meyer: So, like in Judaism, angels are super great for protecting against terrible things. Angels are attracted to sacred places. The whole guardian thing makes sense. And every now and then, you'll find them protecting people. With it an angel will not enter an unclean place. This is pretty typical of most religions. That an angel that is supposed to be so good and pure, not going to go to places that could be called haram or go near a dog even because that's dirty. [00:42:04] Katie Dooley: My dog was an angel, so.  [00:42:04] Preston Meyer: Many are. [00:42:10] Katie Dooley: I disagree with that. Maybe they're more powerful angels. And so other angels are scared to come by. [00:42:19] Preston Meyer: Uh, there are many classes of angels. Or maybe Paige was just a jinn. [00:42:24] Katie Dooley: Oh, wow. But it's probably more accurate anyway. Angels in Islam, are believed to be older than humans and the jinn that Preston mentioned. And they have no human desires. They don't tire, they don't get hungry. They're never angry. [00:42:38] Preston Meyer: So they're often described this way in Jewish literature and the trouble that I have with this idea is that they saw in most versions of early Judeo-Christian Abrahamic origins of the world. They saw the daughters of man and said, that's a really good place to play hide the sausage, and that's not an angel that doesn't have passions. Oh, well. [00:43:18] Katie Dooley: Um, Muslims do not believe in the concept of the fallen angel like in Christianity. Rather, they believe that angels are infallible. [00:43:25] Preston Meyer: Right? And the Iblis isn't a fallen angel, but a terrible jinn. I'm pretty sure, if I remember correctly. [00:43:34] Katie Dooley: So they, as Preston, sort of asked, Islam shares three out of the four archangels with Christianity. So we have Jibril, who's Gabriel; Mikhail, who's Michael; Israfil, who's Raphael. And then the fourth one is Azrail, or Azrael is the English name, but that's not Uriel. Those are their archangels. [00:43:57] Preston Meyer: And, um, Azrael would be a little bit more familiar with the Angel of death called sometimes Malak Hamad. There's another name that I can't remember, Samael, I think. I might be confusing with another angel. I have to look that up later. [00:44:16] Katie Dooley: I mean, that sounds correct to someone who watched the entire series of Lucifer, but that's my only frame of reference right now. That's terrible.  [00:44:27] Preston Meyer: Popular culture is a great tool for education as long as it's well-written. [00:44:32] Katie Dooley: So the Quran describes angels as well-formed human beings. Nice build. Sure. Uh, made of pure light. And they have multiple pairs of wings. So I read two, three, four pairs of wings. [00:44:47] Preston Meyer: Right. So we get very similar descriptions for the jinn. But the jinn are newer and a lot more selfish and a lot more likely to do sexy things so than the angels in this tradition. And then we can change gears a little bit to Zoroastrianism. And I think a lot of the ideas of angels that we get in Judaism probably find a much more comfortable home in Zoroastrianism. Um, the writings of Ezekiel. Are generally thought to have come post-exile. And so this influence would have been definitely a part of this deal. If that is how that worked out. So then in Persian Zoroastrian tradition, there are several forms of yazata. I like that word. Any word that has a bunch of syllables and the same vowel every time. I don't know why it gets me just right.  Like Canada. [00:45:52] Katie Dooley: How patriotic you are. Rococo. Rococo. [00:45:58] Preston Meyer: Rococo. That first I was a little soft, but I can appreciate it. [00:46:04] Katie Dooley: It's a great art movement. [00:46:05] Preston Meyer: So anyway, the Yazata are a class of beings defined nominally as worthy of worship. Gods, in the simplest sense. This is complicated by the fact that we still don't have a good definition of what is a God that everybody can agree on. If it is worshiped, it is a god. That's the deal. That's for today's discussion. I feel like that's pretty fair. So this same word, yazata is applied to all the really good things, including some plants and even prayer formats. So because of that, I feel like a really fair way to translate that into English instead of worthy of worship would be anything that is holy. [00:46:54] Katie Dooley: Holy, sacred, yeah. [00:46:55] Preston Meyer: Yeah, and like the Most Holy One, would be your Most High God, which in this case would be Ahura Mazda, the greatest of the Yazata. So in the earliest writings, Yazata is anything good, and in slightly later early writings the Yazatas are completely and absolutely divine, and so it quickly went from holy things as opposed to profane things, to holy things, as in the gods and God adjacent things in a religion that's mostly monotheistic but isn't quite either. Tricky business. We've talked about this in our Zoroastrian episode. The Persian, the Legend of Persian Zoro. Yeah. Tricky business. So the most popular yazatas received a formal ranking. Relatively late in the Zoroastrian time frame. In about the fourth or fifth century BCE, a calendar was instituted that used the names of the angelic Yazatas to name the months, the days, and even the portions of the days. There's five parts of the day, and each of them are named for various yazata angel figures and so based on that, we got what became of well known because everybody needs to know how you're measuring time, angelology. That was kind of nifty. And so for the Mazdaists, the seven Amesha Spenta, we've talked about them before, they're roughly equivalent to archangels. And so it feels like maybe the shift from 4 to 7 might have been influenced from this time of exile with the Babylonian. [00:48:56] Katie Dooley: Yeah. I mean, this is all happening in the same place at the same time in the world, so. [00:49:00] Preston Meyer: Yeah. And so Ahura Mazda is often described as the father of the Amesha Spenta, but it's generally not taken literally. Just like the Muslims say that Allah is the creator of these angels, not the father, father. [00:49:16] Katie Dooley: Though there was one Amesha Spenta that is described as his daughter. Do you remember that? [00:49:20] Preston Meyer: Well, they're all described as his children. [00:49:22] Preston Meyer: No, there was one specifically that was like, it's his daughter. [00:49:25] Preston Meyer: This one is definitely a daughter. Oh, and he's got other sons, too, right? But they're more godly and less angelic. But they are all yazata. Not that it's not confusing. [00:49:38] Katie Dooley: I haven't said this in a long time. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't a square. [00:49:44] Preston Meyer: The trouble with that is that for a long time, a square was also called a rectangle. [00:49:52] Katie Dooley: Oh, I thought you were gonna, like, correct me on the yazata. Like, not all yazata are gods, but all gods are yazata. [00:49:59] Preston Meyer: No, that's... Yeah, you got that right. But there's even more. Because why stop with just the Judeo-Christian and immediately Judeo-Christian adjacent? There is other great ideas. [00:50:13] Katie Dooley: There's so many. So the Dharmic religions, this is Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism all have Devas, which means heavenly, shining or divine being. The word is generally applied to the gods of the Hindu peoples, as well as to cosmic principles that might manifest during meditation. It is a worthy goal to ascend from this human level and to be reincarnated as a deva. Devas are said to be mortal, expected to die after thousands of years, and be reborn if they don't escape samsara. [00:50:47] Preston Meyer: Imagine being demoted from Deva back to human. [00:50:50] Katie Dooley: I mean, it happens. [00:50:51] Preston Meyer: I mean, the story is that it must. [00:50:58] Katie Dooley: Each has their own... Each of the devas has their own identity, different than an avatar, right? So there's different avatars of Vishnu and different avatars of Krishna, which is a temporary embodiment of a god.  [00:51:10] Preston Meyer: When they just come down for what for them is a weekend. And I think it's really interesting that for Zoroastrianism, the Devas are, well, not the Devas. Deva was an evil god. He's the bad guy. [00:51:30] Katie Dooley: Oh yeah. [00:51:32] Preston Meyer: So I'm curious if that label comes from conflict between the two nations. [00:51:40] Katie Dooley: I don't know. [00:51:41] Preston Meyer: And I haven't been able to find anything that says, oh yeah, sure, "this idea is good, Preston", but I still like it in my head. Next on our list, we have the border. In ancient Norse tradition, we have the Vördr as basically essentially guardian angels. Some of them will follow people around, some of them are trees that you might have in a yard that have been around for a while. And so they'll house minor guardian angels in their root. [00:52:13] Katie Dooley: That's cool. [00:52:14] Preston Meyer: It is kind of cool. The name Vördr basically evolved into what we have in English as warden means watcher, but the word wraith also comes from this root and wraiths, as far as I've been able to find meaning in it is like the scary. [00:52:35] Katie Dooley: Yeah, never positive. I always just think of the ringwraiths but... [00:52:38] Preston Meyer: Sure. Yeah. Bad times. Yeah, they're they're not good friends, but the Vördr are our guardian angels, basically. It's hard to tell how much the idea changed when Christians showed up into their neighborhood, but it probably did change a little bit. Or maybe they're partly responsible for the way we see guardian angels in our Anglo tradition. [00:53:06] Katie Dooley: Yeah. Well. And then it's interesting. There's also demons in ancient Greek mythology spelled d-a-e-m-o-n-s so pronounced the same but not to be confused with demons. [00:53:19] Preston Meyer: In so many words we just drop that A it's interesting that we allow it to persist in this word, but I think there's a good reason for it. [00:53:30] Katie Dooley: Well, and then topical in His Dark Materials, in one of the worlds, everyone has a daemon, which is an animal spirit attached to you. [00:53:40] Preston Meyer: That's spelled with an A.  [00:53:40] Katie Dooley: And it's spelt with an A. And when I was a kid in reading, I had no idea how to say it. [00:53:46] Preston Meyer: Did you say a damon the whole time? Yeah. That's fair.  [00:53:52] Katie Dooley: So demons with an A are positive. And just like the Vördr, they are minor deities that would act as guides, guardian angels or whatever. And it's the same thing. We kind of have this, cuple of traditions that are very influential on Judeo-Christian and Western, therefore Western culture of this idea of guardian angel. [00:54:14] Preston Meyer: Yeah. Looking up angels across all these religious traditions has been pretty cool. There's something like the idea of an angel in almost every religious tradition, though naturally, they're not all going to be called angels. But the idea that there's somebody watching out for you is pretty universal. In the more primal religious traditions, it makes a lot of sense that usually we're talking about ancestors. [00:54:44] Katie Dooley: Right? Their ancestor worship. And we haven't actually talked about... I guess Shintoism, has some ancestor worship, but we haven't talked about Daoism at all, right. Which is a big ancestor worship religion. Maybe that's one we should add to our list right away. I think you're right. But that's basically Mulan. Where she... [00:55:05] Preston Meyer: The good animated one. [00:55:06] Katie Dooley: Yeah, absolutely. Where's she? lights some incense and prays to her ancestors for guidance. [00:55:13] Preston Meyer: And then has to try to keep a straight face while traveling with Eddie Murphy. Oh, now I want to watch Mulan. Thanks. Yeah, so that is a big. topical guardian angels. [00:55:29] Preston Meyer: Right. [00:55:29] Katie Dooley: Mushu is a guardian angel. [00:55:30] Preston Meyer: Here we are in a year of the Dragon. [00:55:32] Katie Dooley: What? It's all coming together. [00:55:35] Preston Meyer: But it's not the year of the Fire Dragon. In the 60 year cycle, it's the year of the Wood dragon. [00:55:40] Katie Dooley: Wow, interesting I didn't know that. You, dear listener, congregant, could be our guardian angels. [00:55:48] Preston Meyer: We would love it so much if you would support this podcast financially. [00:55:55] Katie Dooley: I was going to say you can do that a few ways.

My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to discuss some pretty wild events. Now it's been a few weeks since our last episode and I'd like to formally apologize to you for that.  Life gets in the way. Some new adventures that I have been pursuing simultaneously. So just trying to juggle it all while we go through some changes. Here on the Adams archive as well. So thank you for sticking around. I'm glad you're here today because we're going to discuss some wild shit, and I will even give you the update on everything that I've been working on in the background. And if you follow me on social media, you might be privy to it already. So we'll discuss that, which is pretty cool. But first, we're going to discuss Joe Rogan having a guest on just one month ago, who has now been found  to have had a severed head in his freezer. Thanks  So we'll discuss that,  obviously.  The next thing we're going to discuss is going to be the bill that may make TikTok unavailable in the United States as it quickly advances in the House. Now, this isn't a new idea. This is something that's been discussed before. This is bills that were presented by Donald Trump prior to this. This is no new conversation, but we'll discuss why it might be interesting in the conversation today.  After that, we're going to have a discussion about some deeper and a little bit darker topics.  And as always, the more you stick around, the darker and deeper things generally get. So as we segue from those conversations, we're going to move into a conversation about a few more recent celebrities that are exposing the elites the same way that  Jeffrey Epstein did. Now, in a couple of different manners, one calling it out in a way that is  seemingly,  I would say positive, you know, positive in the meaning that they are not a part of it, and the other  being a part of it. And you may know these names, one being the famous boxer Ryan Garcia, and the other being P. Diddy.  Some pretty crazy stuff going on there, which is  Stuff we'll get into. I'll give you a brief synopsis, which is the fact that Ryan Garcia, famous boxer, young,  good looking dude, 200  something boxing matches, unbelievable boxer, has had a recent tirade on X where he just goes off about Bohemian Grove, saying that he was tied up by guys in black robes and made to watch some horrific events.  Again, at Bohemian Grove. So. pretty crazy stuff. We'll look at the tweets, we'll look at the videos that he actually talks about these things, and that will move us into a conversation about P Diddy. P Diddy is having a more recent judicial situation where a former producer that he worked with, Lil Rod, seems to be the all time worst rapper name ever.  It almost seems satirical, but I digress.  Lil Rod  has filed a lawsuit against P. Diddy as well as Universal Records and a bunch of other people in association with what seems to be a honeypot Trap, similar to what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. And they actually named Jeffrey Epstein in the doc documents in the court documents of this 73 page document, which I'll actually walk you through. I have it. I highlighted that I went through it, did my research for you guys. So I will share all of that with you as well in the show notes today. So you can actually take a look at it. All right, then.  That's it. All right. So that will be our discussion for today. Go ahead, hit the subscribe button, leave a five star review. And before I jump into it, let me tell you what I've been up to. So I have recently launched the pre sale of my new company called Ronin and Ronin is a Faraday goods company. And you might say, what the hell is a Faraday Goods Company? And that's a good question, because I didn't know what it was up until four months ago. Four months ago, I did a deep dive, and you may have recalled the episode that I did on 5G and EMF radiation. And ever since then, it's just been bothering me. The, the amount of data that we discussed, the amount of harmful effects of these things, and, and also,  Simultaneously, while I was doing that, we started to hear more and more about it. Joe Rogan's been talking about EMF radiation. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been talking about Wi Fi radiation poisoning. 5G's been talked about by people like Andrew Huberman, who's also talked about EMF radiation from your cell phone. So, Faraday products are products that protect you from the EMF radiation that's happening all around you all of the time. Very likely on the thing that you're listening to right now is also doing this to you, which has, has very harmful effects, including cancer causing blood clots, DNA damage, tons and tons of things like that. And there's only one way to protect yourself. And it's called Faraday products and Faraday products are a specially lined material that  Pretty decently difficult to source. And so you can find apparel, you can find hats to protect your, your, you know, most important asset. There's a lot of different utilizations for these things,  but what Ronan will be doing is we'll be offering EMF radiation protection.  Apparel and hats, starting with hats. Okay. So we'll be coming out with 10 foil hats, kind of like tinfoil hats, but a little bit better. And these will be baseball hats and beanies that will protect you from EMF radiation. We'll also be coming out with Faraday backpacks. Now, again, I said, there's a couple of uses for Faraday products. One being apparel and protecting yourself from wifi radiation and EMF radiation from your cell phones and 5g. The other being that it completely shields all inbound and outbound communication signals. So, one thing that we know about this cell phone that we all have right here is that it's tracking you everywhere that you go.  Who's using that information you might ask? Well, corporations, governments, and even just nefarious types of individuals all around the country and the world. They'll track you, they'll take your data, they'll steal your private photos and videos and leverage them against you, they can steal your credit and debit cards, they can do all sorts of atrocious things,  unless  you have a Faraday device. Product to put that in.  So Ronan will be creating backpacks, Faraday backpacks in which you drop your laptop, your cell phone, your iPad, your wallet, whatever it is, and it completely shields all inbound and outbound signals, making you  just basically vanish from all of those tracking technologies that are following you every single place that you go.  Alright, there's a limited time pre sale of these products. I do not have them in my possession. I am ordering them in an initial pre sale order for you guys. And it's only going to be people who follow me on social media and people who buy them. Listen to the podcasts that are available for this presale. Okay? There's limited spots available. I already did the presale launch on Instagram and a few other social media, so there's a few spots left that I wanted to get out to you guys as well. So I'll include Ronan's presale link in the show notes for you. I've never promoted basically anything on this podcast, and I don't know how many episodes I never ask for you guys to, to, you know. Support some outside company, but I will ask you to support my company, and I truly believe in the mission that Ronan has, which is going to be to create harmony between the harmful technology and the pace of innovation and technology today, and actually providing you with a healthy lifestyle surrounding those things that we're not just going to get rid of. Okay, so I do ask you if you are interested in these things, go order the presale. It'll be the first thing in the show notes. Go check it out. Click that link, join the presale launch, and I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. All right, that's what I got for you right now. Now,  without further ado, let's jump right in.  Into it,  the Adams Archive.  All right. The very first topic that we're gonna be discussing today is going to be  that Joe Rogan had a guest on his podcast just one month ago, who has now had been found to have a severed head in his freezer,  along with a torso in a bla or a blue. bin that he was toting around that there's photo evidence of him Toting this bin around through a door. So let's go ahead and read this article And let's find out what this is really about now the individual in question here  with somebody who is a former,  former inmate, and he's, was on the podcast with Josh Dubin, and I've actually loved the podcast with Joe Rogan and Josh Dubin, where essentially what he does, Josh Dubin is a advocate and a lawyer who basically brings on people who are wrongful convictions. and gets them out of jail and then starts this conversation about wrongful convictions and, and how a large percentage of individuals who are in jail right now could very well be innocent. And so they, his organization does an amazing thing, which they go through all of the, the different cases that they're sent. They do some deep dives into the information that are there, and then they help get these people out, which is an amazing thing. I love the work that Josh Dubin does,  but.  Maybe in this instance, they should have left this guy in jail. Okay. So Sheldon Johnson, a former Joe Rogan show guest is a 48 year old youth counselor for the Queens defenders who spent 25 years in prison for attempted murder and robbery.  And he was introduced on the Joe Rogan experience in February by his friend,  Perlmutter Center from Legal Justice executive director, Josh Dubin.  And he was saying that he was a marvelous human being who was wronged by the system. Johnson was also photographed shaking hands with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.  However, less than a year after his release from prison, Johnson was arrested in New York on Thursday after police found a severed head in his apartment freezer and a torso stashed in a bin. The  victim, identified as 44 year old Colin Small, spent time in the same prison as Johnson and may have had a beef with him, according to the New York Post. Small was reportedly heard by neighbors pleading for his life on Tuesday evening before several gunshots rang out. In security footage following the incident, Johnson could be seen carrying cleaning supplies in a blue bin to the apartment where Small's remains were found, before leaving in a blonde wig.  Great disguise.  Rogan received criticism from viewers when the episode with Johnson aired with critics accusing Rogan and Dubin of downplaying Johnson's violent criminal history.  Very  interesting  Now, I'm pretty sure I've listened to this episode I know I've listened to several episodes with Josh Dubin and again really like the work that he's done I'm not sure if this is the individual that I'm thinking of that I listened to last  But I'll definitely go back and listen to this one because this is a wild situation, right? It's like Even if this guy wasn't guilty and maybe this is the argument that could be made around this is that jail prison time  Makes you a terrible person it can find you it turns you into an animal All you are is surrounded by people who are violent criminals who are absolutely the the  And even, and this isn't to detract from the fact that there are wrongful convictions, and that the for profit prison system is the absolute worst thing in the world, that causes hundreds of thousands, if not millions of families a year to be in agony, agony,  for no good reason. I've stated my positions on the justice system before,  as somebody who was, you know, planning on going into the justice system and becoming a lawyer, criminal defense lawyer, my take on the entirety of this. And the reason I wanted to go be a criminal defense lawyer is because I don't believe in the justice system in the way that it stands today. I believe there's so many wrongful convictions. And I feel like even the ones that are convicted, are generally convicted for profitable corporations, and not because it's a true way to help them better themselves and their lives and be a better person for themselves. In society. I don't think that happens. I think there's a very, very marginal percentage of people that come out of jail as a better person or come out of prison as a better person as when they went in there.  I just don't think it happens. There's no system, there's no processes in place that cause that to be the case. There's no reform that's happening. It's a place to essentially imprison people, to throw them in a jail cell and allow them to be a number that corporations can profit off of. And so, to me  In this situation, let's go back to the original discussion being had here, which is that in this situation, even if he wasn't guilty here, even if he wasn't an attempted murderer, as he was convicted for prior to him getting out for a wrongful conviction, they very well, in prison, could have made him this way, just shown by the fact that the person that he went after and murdered was actually somebody that went to jail with him, went to prison with him. And so, that to me, it shows that like,  It didn't help, did it? Even if he, and let's just say he wasn't the person who committed that initial crime, it made him the type of person that they made him out to be to begin with. Even if he wasn't. And he probably was, now that we know he's this type of, he's got this in him. That's some gangster shit, but  for sure, for sure, Seems like he did this one. I don't think he's getting out of this one at all. All right. So a pretty wild situation. I wonder what this I wonder what Joe Rogan's response will be to this because that's a not a good look for Josh Dubin. I wonder what Josh Dubin's response to this as I wonder if he's come out and had some some conversations because Joe Rogan as there's very few guests that Joe Rogan has said or had on consistently. Joe Rogan has Josh Dubin on his podcast at least once a quarter.  And he says that he does that because he believes in the cause. He says that he does that because he believes that there is a injustice happening in our justice system. Absolutely is. And I agree with him 100%.  This isn't a good look though.  There's probably, there's probably I don't know, a hundred situations that could have been bad that couldn't have been this bad of a look for them.  So anyways, wild situation. I'm sure there's going to be more information that comes out in this. There was some photos that leaked that showed this,  Interesting stuff. So  I didn't go and find any clips. I doubt there's going to be anything that like alludes to this or is even interesting compared to this. But, I would say you should still go check out Josh Dubin's situation and his organization that he leads there. Because they still do good stuff despite, I don't know,  getting a man out of prison who severed another man's head.  Not a good look.  Anyways, all right. So the next thing that we're going to discuss here is going to be that there is a new bill looking to ban tick tock  and, and it says the measure gained the support of house speaker, Mike Johnson on Thursday and could soon come up for a full vote in the house. I don't know why I said vote like that vote. Podcast when this happened. A couple years ago, and I'll tell you my position on this. I haven't read really much into this. We'll read it together and we'll, we'll kind of have a real reaction for you here. Cause I don't know the context of this bill or why they're trying to pass it  personally.  I do know that the last time it was because there's like military and, and espionage happening in there and situations where they're tracking our military members and leveraging the data against them. And, and they believe that it's a security issue with our own civilians, that they're gathering all this data and they're, they're infiltrating our youth and putting in all of these themes of like terrible  societal constructs that are, are degrading our society as a whole.  I don't disagree with any of those, but I also don't think that tick tocks the only one doing that and I also think that if our government is going out of their way to pass a bill because they're concerned about the security measures and the spying and the,  the, the utilization of data weaponization of data, right? So if our government's concerned about China weaponizing tick tocks data against our citizens and surveilling us.  utilizing that technology. What I should be far more concerned about and what you should be far more concerned about is the fact that our government uses every social media platform to do the very same thing. They just don't like it when other people do it to us too. It's like, if they're concerned about other other governments weaponizing social media against our citizens,  it's because they're already doing it. It's because they know what they can do with that. Information and we already know that they're connected, right? We already know the information came out about the FBI connections with Facebook Instagram Surrounding the election. We already know that they essentially had the the twitter files and stuff you know after the twitter files were released that they were working with all of the three letter agencies and the government organizations and the White house and they all had a basically a secret email thread where they were telling people a specific post to take down and I'm sure several of mine were one of them Absolutely, because the second I posted a video about  Hunter Biden and the whole situation, I think I pulled it from InfoWars, and I reposted it on my Instagram, I was vanished, gone. So shadowbanned for I think about seven or eight months. It really like crushed my momentum. With the podcast with the Instagram with everything very disheartening it hurt my feelings a bit But I bet say about eight months you couldn't search my account. You couldn't find any of my videos there would get no view It was terrible. I had like 30 something thousand followers at the time. It wasn't like I did nobody followed me. It was pretty wild  But anyways, let's go ahead and read this bill. That's my take on it is essentially if they're concerned about it Somebody else doing it to us. It's because they already know and are doing it ten times worse than what they're doing it They're thinking China's doing it to us for right. Anyways, a bill that could lead to the popular video sharing app. TikTok being unavailable in the United States is quickly gaining traction in the house as lawmakers voiced their concerns about the potential for the platform to surveil and manipulate Americans. Could you imagine a government surveilling and manipulating American citizens with social media platforms?  No way.  Say it ain't so. We better get that TikTok out of here. Because there's no way our American social media platforms do that to us. It's only those Chinese communists over there that that surveil and manipulate Americans with social media.  The measure gained support of House Speaker Mike Johnson and could soon come up for a full vote in the House. The bill advanced out of committee Thursday and unanimous bipartisan vote 50 to nothing. Wow.  I find a another bill that's passed like that in a while. The White House has provided technical support in the drafting of the bill. The White House Press Secretary Kain Jean Pierre said that TikTok legislation still needs some work to get to a place where the President, Joe Biden will endorse it.  Yeah, because you know, if you go read that bill right now, it's probably like, yeah, we'll ban TikTok and we'll also allow another 3 million immigrants to come into our country and also vote.  The bill takes a two pronged approach. First, it would require ByteDance, which is  based in Beijing, to divest TikTok and other applications it  controls within 180 days of enactment of the bill. Or those applications will be prohibited in the United States. Second, it creates a narrow process to let the executive branch prohibit access to an app owned by a foreign adversary if it possesses a threat to national security. It's an important bipartisan measure to take on China, our largest geo geopolitical foe, which is actively undermining our economy and security.  I think we're actively undermining our economy and our security.  Just as much as China is. Our critics also claim the app could be used to spread misinformation beneficial to Beijing. Former President Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok through executive order, but the courts blocked the action after TikTok sued, arguing that actions would violate free speech and due process rights.  Hmm. So interesting that all these things that Donald Trump tried to do four years ago Biden's trying to do now, build a wall. Don't do that. Well, now Biden's saying that we should build a wall. Ban TikTok. No, don't do that. Oh, well, now Biden's trying to ban TikTok. It's like everything that Trump foresaw and tried to attempt to do.  That was, Like defaced and demeaned by the Democrats is now being enacted as if it was their own idea. Just like how in the State of the Union Address, Joe Biden was sitting there acting like he wanted immigrants to not immigrate.  Jump over our border. Like  basically saying we're, we're going to protect our border. Like, Oh really? Cause you were the very person that allowed this to happen over the last two years. And now that we're coming up on an election and we have  essentially the same amount of illegal immigrants that have entered our country as the total population of 33 States.  That's how many immigrants that we have in our country today is the, They total up to the same amount of population that we have had over our borders in the last, since Joe Biden started in office, 33 states worth of populations of individuals that are now in our country, undocumented, illegal aliens.  Hmm.  Critics also claim that the app could be used to spread misinformation beneficial to Beijing. TikTok raised similar concerns about the legislation gaining momentum in the house.  This bill is an outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much the authors try to disguise it. This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive five million small businesses of a platform that they rely on to grow and create jobs, the company said. Yeah, I really don't think that  TikTok cares about the First Amendment, to be fair. The bill's author, Republican Mike Gallagher, the Republican chairman for the Special House Committee, focused on China, rejected TikTok's assertion of a ban. Rather, he said it's an effort to force a change in TikTok's ownership. He also took issue with TikTok urging some users to call their representatives and urge them to vote no on the bill. I did see that, that there was a big there was like a, a, a notification on TikTok,  That's having all of the users of TikTok send  or call their representatives. It says the notification that urged TikTok users to speak up now before your government strips 170 million Americans of their constitutional right to free expression. The notification also warns that the ban of TikTok would damage millions of businesses and destroy the lives of countless creators across the country. Today, it's about, it's about our bill, and it's not intimidating members considering that bill. But tomorrow it could be misinformation or lies about an election, about a war, about any number of things Gallagher said. This is why we can't take a chance of having a dominant news platform in America controlled or owned by a company that is behold of the Chinese Communist Party and their foremost adversary. Now, I don't disagree there. I just don't think that's the sentiment of this.  I just think that if you were concerned about that, you just, you know, honestly get rid of all social media platforms. Our world would be much better.  And I, this is an avid user of social media. That's how I've grown my podcast. That's how you know about me, likely.  Get rid of it. It'd be better for my children, it'd be better for your children, it'd be better for your grandchildren, it'd be better for our country. Get rid of all social media. It's a fucking cancer on our population, on our society as a whole. It's terrible for children, it's terrible for adults, it makes people lazy, it sucks up all of your time, and it hijacks your dopamine system so that you feel the need to, like,  I'm just as guilty of it, like, pffft. I try to be better about it, but just like everybody else, I'm just as guilty about it. And sometimes I sit there just and I go on tiktok. I go on instagram now and it's like just  Maybe the way that I you know, I consume my feed and and for this podcast and stuff, but it's just political bullshit  I don't know. What's more fake american politics or  Pro wrestling like it's it's so irritating even though a lot of the influencers a lot of the the top people in the Republican influencer space and the Democratic influencer space. They're all full of shit They're all being pushed to you know, say certain things about certain topics and they're all being paid to do So they're all terrible at marketing with their shitty t shirt companies. They're, they're all just repost bullshit videos that are regurgitated from other accounts without any value or narration on them. It's just trash, like,  trash, trash, trash, trash, trash. That's all social media is. And so, yeah, sure, ban TikTok, but ban Instagram and Meta and, and, you know, Axe, ban them all. Get rid of them. We don't need them. Let's, let's, let's use a fucking phone to call somebody instead, like, let's, let's go back, right? Like, you wanna talk about, you know  conservativism?  Let's get rid of those, get off my lawn! You know?  Anyways, as I get older, I just have come to accept the fact that I'm an angry old man.  And that's okay. I think that's probably the right way to be in today's society anyways.  All right.  Not sure what's going on there. Okay, cool. So let's move into the Ryan Garcia situation. So Ryan Garcia, professional boxer, has come out on, on a Instagram, or I'm sorry, a ex tirade, tirade, calling out celebrities. Dropping names like Oprah Winfrey, saying that he was tied down in a forest by men in black robes and forced to watch some horrific  acts conducted on children.  And I'm sorry, like trigger warning, whatever you want to say, there's some terrible stuff here, guys. I'm sorry. It's not like if you want to skip ahead 15 minutes, but it's, it's, it's  pretty serious stuff. So the Ryan Garcia. Pro boxer, very, very active, has a fight April 20th. Now some people are saying that he's doing this to promote his fight. I don't think so. If you hear this guy's voice and you know what he's going through right now,  I don't think that he's faking this for fight promotion. I also just don't think he's that smart. He's had 240 pro boxing matches. So he's probably has a lot of brain damage too. Now I don't think that means or diminishes anything that he's saying because everything he's saying we already know to be true. We know that. All of the celebrities and politicians and most powerful people in the world meet in Bohemian Grove, or at least they did.  Till it was infiltrated and now everybody knows where it's at and how to get there.  But at least they did, right? I think who was it?  It wasn't Kennedy. Was it Truman? I think it was Truman said that it was the most faggoty place on earth.  That is a direct quote from a former president that Bohemian Grove is the most faggoty place on earth. Excuse my 2020, you know 2010 language there's apparently we're not allowed to say that anymore, but the president said it So, you know blame him not me  anyways  And so what this, if you don't know about Bohemian Grove, it's a whole rabbit hole and I'm sure I've done a whole episode on it at least once, or had some deep dives into it. Essentially all these politicians and all these most powerful people in the world, very well known, been infiltrated, we know this happens, they all go there, they dress up in robes, they gather around this owl statue, this like 30 foot tall owl statue. Might be exaggerated, but it's probably pretty close to that huge owl statue. And then they light on fire while they're in a circle in their robes with masks on this effigy that is supposed to be a sacrifice to the owl God or Malak, right? The, the,  Baphomet, the, you know, the evil entities of the world. They're doing a satanic ritual out in the woods.  Very well known, well documented,  Go Google it. Alex Jones at one point infiltrated it with a video camera and found them doing this effigy, found it happening live. So you can go go do that research. It's there. It's real thing. Okay, so he talks about it and says that he was brought there, taken by men in black robes, and I'll let you him tell you  some of  it here. All right, here you go.  I don't give a fuck any.  Hold on one second here, guys.  Anymore  where  all right here we go. Hey, bro. All right. Talk to us. Oh, I don't give a fuck bro. They help Okay, and so this was after an initial release of, so I'll start from the beginning before I play this video for you. It needs a little bit of context. Ryan Garcia said that his phone was taken from him, that he was forced, his money was taken from him, all this stuff. He posted a video, like there was a video saying, it's kind of a weird situation, it was like, we got him, we slid his throat, something like that. On Ryan Garcia's Twitter, like they, they took over his Twitter. They said he still has his, their, his Instagram. We slit his throat, 666, Satan, the devil, whatever. It was like this super weird, random tweet that went out. Okay. That happened like 12 hours later, after some people thought he was dead. Ryan Garcia posts a video. And in this video, he looks completely disheveled. He looks like traumatized and he basically says, I'm okay, guys. I can't really talk about what's going on, but I'm okay. Just wanted to let you know, I'm not dead. Okay, then he starts to release information about Bohemian Grove and what these people did. Andrew Tate then goes on and says, let's do a live, I'll let you share your story. They jump on a live and here you go.  They made me watch little kids get raped. I don't give a fuck anymore.  Where?  Bro, they fucking took me to the fucking woods, bro, and they fucking tied I'm not fucking joking, bro. I have fucking proof, bro. I don't give a fuck.  Bro, I fucking will show you every fucking video you could ever fucking believe. Bohemian Grove is real. They fucking tied me down and they made me fucking watch, dawg. I absolutely don't give a fuck anymore. Yes, I fucking lost it. They're raping little kids. He doesn't want to take us all, so let's go. Come on, Ryan. He doesn't want to take us all. Bro, fuck this dude, dude. Who? Who? Bro, you know the higher elites, bro. You already know who they are, bro.  You know the path you're going down is dangerous, my friend. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. They can't touch me. I'm a god.  Well, that's the first point of contention, because I care about you a lot, and I can assure you, from my own personal experience, that they can touch you, which is the worst part about it. Bro, no, they can't, bro. Alright, so come touch me, you fucking bitch.  You have proof of these things on You have proof of this on your phone? Yes, of course I do.  The fuck you talking about? Of course. If Alex could get a fucking video from the Bohemian Grove, of course I could.  Well, I have to be careful what I say, because I'm in the middle of a judicial process right now. You want me to get you out of it? Bro, my door gets kicked in if I say what I'm thinking.  Okay, well I can help you get out of it if you want. I know people. Tell  everyone at home then. Start from the beginning. When did this happen? Where did this happen? What exactly did you see?  Why have you tweeted the things you've tweeted? Let people at home understand you. Because I don't give a fuck, bro. They rate me, right?  I was two years old, they rate me.  I have proof of that too. Why have you tweeted the things you've tweeted?  So you have to honestly appreciate Andrew Tate. Like, you know, I love everybody shits on Andrew Tate. I've shit on Andrew Tate rightfully in some situations, but you have to appreciate the way he's organizing Ryan's thoughts, right? He's obviously much more articulate, much better at  having a conversation than the emotionally heightened state, at least that Ryan's in right now. So again, you have to appreciate about how he's going about this. Even saying that, you know, be careful the path that you're going down, my friend, this is a dangerous one and they can touch you. You're not untouchable. You're not a God. They can get you.  And that's the scary part, he says. So here we go. Tweeted the things you've tweeted. Let people at home understand you a little bit more. Because I don't give a fuck, bro. They rate me, right?  I was two years old, they rate me.  I have proof of that too.  That's where it all started, bro.  Jeez.  Okay, you do know there's going to be certain people who believe and I'm Ryan, you know, I like you  speaking for years, you know, there's going to be people who believe you're just saying this because you've, I don't know, had a mental breakdown or taking drugs and you're repeating some of the things you've said on the internet and they're going to not believe you unless you come at it very coherently.  Andrew, Andrew, I'll go to the fucking Romania and take a drug test in front of your face. Bro, you don't want to come here.  You don't need to remain in jail. It's not your fight camp. But I'm just asking, like, you're gonna have to tell a far more coherent story from start to finish for people to truly understand that. What you're saying happened is what you saw and that this is not some sort of episode or anything else. This is my advice to you as a brother. I'm trying to make it, if you want people to believe you, you're gonna have to come along and explain from the absolute beginning exactly how it happened, who was involved, how you got there, what car you were in, where you were standing, everything.  Of course they're gonna want that and I have all the information possible. Okay, so when you're releasing it, how you're releasing it, or are you keeping it for yourself? Because it looks like you don't want to keep it for yourself.  I don't. At the right time I'm gonna release all of it, but  at the right time I'm gonna do it.  They're already calling me to tell me to stop. I don't give a fuck, dude.  I've already had a meeting with them.  I'm gonna let you sit with that, Andrew.  With who? All right, bro. Well, I want you to know that either way, I'm praying for you, and I hope that Thank you, bro. You know, and I mean that. I don't give a fuck, bro. Alex Jones has been saying the same shit, and they try to get The only reason they can't stop me, because  they listen to the devil. I listen to God. God gave me authority. It's over for everybody, bro.  Now, again, to Andrew Tate's point, and you probably won't hear me say that very often, but  he does seem to be in some type of  Mental breakdown, but obviously, you know, just by the way he's speaking is very Emotionally heightened his voice is shaky, but wouldn't you be  Like, if you were sitting in front of, when this was going on, there's 26, 000 people hearing you talk about being raped as a child, like, wouldn't you feel that way? Wouldn't you be heightened emotionally? Wouldn't you have a mental breakdown if that happened? Like, and  again, nothing he's saying is crazy. We already know that these things were happening. We already know Epstein was real. We already know Bohemian Grove is a super creepy, weird place where they have satanic rituals.  And, you know, To, to Andrew Tate's point though, like, are you just puppeting, are you, are you just parroting the situations that you hear online? Are you just parroting what, the information that you have heard from other people talk about and just like stringing these together? But why, why would you do that?  Why, why, what would be the purpose of that? That, that's not going to help him. You know, it's, it's really not good PR for his fight that he says that, and, and honestly, no man's going to come out and say, I got raped. Like, there's very little of the, you know, Me Too situation happening in  men in highly visible spaces. And we'll find that out more with what we see with P. Diddy.  And the Lil Rod situation coming up is like, this guy was tormented for years by this man. Lived with him and didn't speak up because that's like,  not generally what  men do in this situation. It's just not.  Especially people who are very in the public eye. It's, it's, it's embarrassing, I'm sure. And, and something that you have to contend with in a different way, especially when you're highly visible like these people are. So again, you would have a mental breakdown. You would be heightened emotionally. You would stutter over your words and be, you know, use a bunch of swear words when you're talking and like,  You would do those things, regardless, so I don't think that detracts from his opinion, and I don't, you know, this guy's also had a bunch of fights, so I don't think he's like the most articulate person in the world, I'm sure he has some serious head trauma, but I don't think that means that he's not telling the truth.  And so, As we go further into this, let's go ahead and read some of the tweets that came from him.  Now there was a whole 25 minute live that he did that I listened into.  You can go to his Twitter right now and listen in. He did a full live video. You know, maybe I'll play a few minutes of that for you guys here. But  the most recent conversation that he had is, is this one, which says that I'm not talking about anything else other than fighting. He's in the fight camp right now. He has a fight in the, like six weeks or so. So. Let me start you from the timeline beginning. Here is the video that I was talking about if it's still up of him essentially saying  I'm, okay. I'm alive. They took my phone. Okay. Here's where it starts  Hey guys, it's me ryan  I'm here to explain what's going on  I'm, not in possession of my phone. I can't get access to my instagram  My cards are locked  And i'm just being real Oh, you know I'm being real, taking advantage, and I personally wanted just to send out a video to the people that love me and my fans,  family that's concerned that I'm okay. I'm not dead.  I believe in Jesus. All those are lies. And, you know,  in jail, they're blocking my cards. I can't access my money.  Nobody's hitting me back.  I don't know what's going on, but just know I'm okay, look. He was being targeted by some organization or some group of people that are obviously somewhat powerful if they can get into all of his accounts, if they can freeze all of his bank accounts, if they can get into all of his social media accounts, if they can cut off his communication with everybody at one time. It's obviously a pretty powerful entity, right? It's not just some random guy next door. And you see the look on his face. He looks, like I said, disheveled. He looks concerned. He looks like meek, almost.  Which is not generally the case for a guy with 250 pro boxing fights. Like you just hear it in the sound of his voice. He sounds a little scared. Which rightfully, if somebody goes onto your account and says they slit your throat, it freezes your bank accounts, all that stuff at one time. So, and this is where it all started. This is where it all got triggered to, to begin. And it sounds like from there, he's just like, all right,  And he's going to just say everything that happened that he's been holding back in fear of these organizations that are potentially going after him. And that's speculation, but that's what it seems like to me. It seems to be some, you know, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to kind of take that out of the context of what's happening.  Now he posted a bunch of other things.  that all got deleted. Now, I don't know if he deleted them. He says that they got deleted off of X, but I do have those tweets and I'll read them to you. It says, if they post my phone, I will post on someone else's.  It's in plain sight. It's trying, I'm trying to screen record the rules of devil worshiping and they are deleting it. Can someone DM me their account info so I can tweet? They are going to attempt to stop me. I'm going to set up a drive a live drug test to prove that I'm not trippin I feel like crying because i'm giving everyone info. They already know but they refuse to believe do you want proof now? I'll get it asap  he said  If they take my phone, I will post on someone else's. More you ask, or what's up? It's that three Disney workers, school athletic, he posted screenshots. Three Disney workers, school athletic director among 219 arrested in Florida human trafficking sting. Wow. And that was posted from 2023 September. So just a few months ago, he said, please help send prayers. I'm calling all prayer warriors. You think you'd be you think you'd be quiet if they killed kids and showed you and did it over and over. I'm done. I have lost it. And so have you. My pain is unbearable. I can't describe I will be killed soon. Hurry find you think you you think you'd be quiet if they killed kids and showed you and did it over and over and over.  I'm done. I've lost it. And so have you. My pain is unbearable. Wow.  So, pretty dark stuff there. But then he went on to say that they auction off kids. That's one of the next tweets.  He goes on to show that a video from a Bohemian Grove situation.  He starts saying that I didn't kill myself. I love God and my kids. I love Jesus. I'm healthy and I have no medical issues for the record. I'm with my wife, Drea. All the other stuff is cap.  For you who are not Gen Z, like me, cap means a lie.  You're welcome.  Let's see what this is. Says I'm changing. Let's see. He brought up the Vatican as well as Oprah Winfrey.  He said, how many more kids will y'all allow this to happen to? And then he posted some posts from the Catholic church abusing children. He said, why do you think that in all scary movies, they are always use a priest from Catholic churches because they are molesters and they allow you to disrespect God. Hmm.  So wait, I'm the bad guy for calling out an institution that has an unbearable or unbelievable amount of rape and molestation. And I'm the bad guy. I'm the crazy one.  So everyone's getting real quiet now.  Interesting. He, he, he also said something along the lines of, and I say along the lines of, but I'm just reading it verbatim. They actually have the files on Jesus, the Ark of the Covenant, the giants, the clones, the aliens files on everything. They are the ones.  That let me in. Now, again, sounds pretty crazy in the way that he's going on this, like, tirade, back to back to back to back to back tweets. You know, I have my beliefs on almost every one of the things that he said there, which are definitely reasonable. Clones, check, we know that. Ark of the Covenant, super weird and interesting situation there.  The Giants, we talked about the Nephilim.  Alien files, we know that to be true. But when you put it in this unarticulate way, where it just sounds like you're ranting like crazy, it does sound crazy. Because when you put it all together, it is crazy. But  it is crazy when you put it all together. But bitch, we live in a crazy world. All of these things have a potential of being true.  But he's just not very good at discussing it.  At least in a way that's believable, right?  So he keeps going on and on talks about Gaza, all of this and that. So, so after a little bit, he does have a live that he's like, all right, come on here. Ask me anything. I'll play a little bit, just a couple minutes of that for you guys and just kind of  go move around on the video. So I'm letting anybody ask any question for  the time being to whenever we get off. How do we start this? People are coming in. People are coming in.  Hello guys. I don't know how to run a space. I don't even know how to do this. How do you do this?  How do I let people speak? They said the request, how do you let them speak? Oh, all right. So let's get this part.  I'm, I'm, I'm going in on everybody.  Wait, Brian, so to all the people that are asking why you don't show the clips, can you answer?  No, there's, just so you know, there's 674, 000 listens to this audio.  So it's not like this is some random weirdo, right? This guy's very, very well known celebrity athlete. Is there a question for them?  I can't show the clips. They're already out there. I mean, there's so many clips. It's unbelievable. I know everybody wants me to put out my evidence, but I can't put out my evidence or else they're going to come after my family. So I choose not to. Oh, you can speak on me.  Gummy,  whatever your name, Gumi.  Gummy don't want to speak.  Bro.  Oh, there you go. Can you hear me?  Yes.  Hello.  Everybody's like, yo, put the drink down. Okay, fine. I won't fucking drink, but I'm still gonna tell the truth. Sober or not. I have more balls than you.  I put my ball sack on everybody.  . They told me they're gonna, they told me they're gonna make an example on me that because I say Jesus so much, they're gonna pit me on the cross and they're gonna crucify me in the whole world and say, yep, this is what we do. This is what we do.  Hmm. So please help me out. I don't, I mean, if it's that, if that's what's supposed to happen, let God's will be done, not mine. I'm okay with that. And this is the truth. Have I lied about anything else? Nothing. So why would I lie about that?  Ryan,  I'm a father of two kids. Yes. I'm saying this because I'm worried about my children. Okay. Okay. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep clear. Ryan, listen to me. Listen to me. You know me. I've talked to you about mental health.  Don't worry, brother. Nothing's going to happen to me. Here, Patriot speaker. Yes. As I'm going to just add,  it's 25 minutes. You can go listen to the full thing. I was like, yeah, I'm serious. Why? So I'm going to commit and I'm going to do it. And I just did it. I was just like, God gave me the authority and the power to do it. And I seized it through amongst all the, the locks and all the people trying to confuse me, throw me off, say, what you're doing is a little this and that. I'm like, who cares? Watch what happens. And look at everything's and Ryan, if they think you, if they think you lying, bro. I just want to drop this on people real quick cause they don't, they don't, you know, I want to put this out there real quick cause I talk about this shit a lot.  You got an executive order right now, one three eight one eight. I'll say it again. One three eight one eight that addresses human rights abuse and human trafficking that was done in 2017 and that's why all these motherfucking people coming out the woodworks and shit. And a lot of CEOs and shit stepping down and all this shit. I got the FC names,  if you want me to start dropping them. Exactly. Oprah.  What? Who cares? I do. What do you mean?  That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And this is, this is all.  Alright, so I'll leave that to you. You can listen through that yourself. I don't want to bore you with a 25 minute Twitter space with  Some, like I said, less than articulate people discussing these things. But, but I do think that it's worth a listen. There's some value in what he's saying. Again, the delivery is not very well done. And I think that's what Andrew Tate did a good job trying to hone him in a little bit and go tell us your evidence. Tell us why we should believe you. And here's the thing too. Let's say Ryan Garcia is lying. How many celebrities with millions of followers are going out there and even driving awareness to this? So like let's say he wasn't tied down in a forest in Bohemian Grove And maybe he has some mental health issues and maybe those mental health issues are Exacerbated by getting into these rabbit holes that are very very real of very real things happening right now around the world That we know about  right we find out more about it with with P Diddy,  right? But maybe let's just say he's lying  Even if he's lying, even if he's having a mental breakdown, even if he's gone way too far down the rabbit hole and he can't handle the truth of the reality of what these people do to children.  Which is a horrific thing and it's put me into terrible, you know, like a depressive state having to do all this research on these things and having to deal with the, the, the reality that these things are real and there's very, you know, horrific things happening right now around the world. I remember when I found out about Operation Underground  Railroad  and which is the, the movie is written about and this was before the movie came out, there was documentary about Operation Underground Railroad and the things that they were doing. Now, I'm not going to get into a whole thing about the, the situation with  the owner and the guy who's depicted in the movie and all of that stuff, because there's a whole candy worms to open up their too. But I watched the documentary before I heard about it from anybody. I knew some people that were involved in these types of these types of task force and had tremendous respect for them and wanted to learn more about it. And as soon as I got done watching that,  I was so  deep in the hole.  That I would have quit everything just to go save and rescue children that I would have joined a task force I actually put it in an application with them to be a part of their their team that goes and does that It's probably still sitting there somewhere where right now and they never got back to me, which is okay, I guess  But I was ready to drop everything and I was ready to do something about it What is a more noble task than to save these children going through these things? There is very real situations There's warehouses around the world that that are Have children without social security numbers that are being literally bred for this type of situation. And it's, it's horrible, and I'm not going to take you there right now.  But, I will say that it can take you down a very dark, dark path. And you have to be emotionally and mentally stable and capable of handling the knowledge. Because once you learn that, it's very difficult to navigate the everyday world knowing that this is happening underneath the surface.  And so again, even if he's lying, even if he, this didn't happen to him, even if, let's say he's a celebrity with a lot of head trauma who's going into a mental breakdown.  I'm still glad that he's raising awareness because everything that he's talking about is very real. Even if it didn't happen to him, I don't give a fuck whether it happened to Ryan Garcia, but I do know that this happened to someone, somewhere, someone's child right now in this world at this very moment.  Who cares if Ryan Garcia is telling the truth? What I care about is that there's being awareness given to the situation, that maybe he is telling the truth. But regardless of whether he is or he isn't,  I'm glad that he's bringing awareness to this because this is a topic that should be discussed by every celebrity with every connection everywhere across the country, across the globe,  at all times, until it's rectified. And the light has been shined on the darkness enough to where it is. escapes into a deep dark hole and never presents itself again.  That is what I would want. And I'm happy that he is, he is causing this  potential for this to, to, to occur because there's very, very few celebrities, but we're actually seeing a lot more, which is becoming a theme in this situation.  There was more recently a video that came out talking about how Matt Reif and another comedian were being forced to enter the  being forced by two executives saying that they'll make them famous and all they have to do is perform a sex act on them.  That's a wild claim too. But we know Harvey Weinstein existed. We know that there's these gatekeepers in Hollywood and the music industry, P. Diddy being one of them, as we will see a little bit later. This is a very real thing, even if for adults, even if for people who want to be famous. They have to have blackmail on you. You have to become a part of their little scheme. You have to have, you know, some questionable sexuality,  and that's just the reality of the Hollywood and the music executives and the world that we live in, the high level politics, like even Madison Cawthorn talks about the orgies that were happening in Washington DC, right? We know these honeypot schemes are happening all around the world. We know that, right? This is all true shit, guys. Like this is, yeah, again, Maybe the not most, maybe not the most articulate way of putting it. But everything he's saying is true, whether it's, it happened to him or not. And so, hundreds of, hundreds of thousands of people watched this one video. 700, 000 people now have more awareness about what's going on in the world.  And again, some of those people might not be able to handle that truth. But as long as it's being talked about and discussed, they have to hide it. They have to, they have to go into some  far corner of the reality that we live in to do these things. They have to get out of the public light, the Epstein's will no longer be able to navigate the social circles that they, he did. Jeez, can't talk.  Because it's so in the public space. I write everybody knows that about Hollywood. Everybody knows that about the music industry. Now, everybody knows that about high level politics and the elites and the Virgin Islands, like the Brussels or the, you know, the Branson's and the Epstein's that like, everybody knows those things now.  And good, keep talking about it until something's done, and they go away, or they're all killed off, or they're all in jail. That's all I want, right? And so good, if you do that to children, you should have the worst things happen to you. Right. If you're a part of that, that world. Okay. So that's the situation with Ryan Garcia. There's, there's more to come. He says he's not talking about it. I'll give you one segue out of this, which is the fact that,  Well, let's go ahead and let's listen to this clip first. Then I'll segue between Ryan Garcia and P Diddy.  Cause PD is really the deep dive for today. And I'm not sure how, how long we'll be able to discuss that, but I do have a full 30 or 73 page legal documents highlighted outlines for us to discuss today about these very things. Okay. But first,  let me tell you why I started Ronin. So after learning about EMF radiation, doing the deep dive into 5g, right. Here's my, my quick little pitch for you.  The reason I started Ronin is because I looked for these Faraday products myself. Okay, I went online, I found there's, there's three or four of them that are out there. And one of them has decent design, but they're so expensive. A backpack is 850 literally. Okay. The other ones, when it comes to the apparel hats, that type of thing, their design work sucks. It was never anything I would want to wear  and also very expensive. It was 90 for a hat, which is like, I'm not fucking spending 90 on a hat, especially if it looks like shit. So, and so.  Having the background that I did, and I do I decided to, you know, I have a pretty heavy marketing background.  And so I sourced the supplies and found a way that we can create these products and create them in a way that they're going to be affordable, in a way that they're going to be a design that I would actually be confident and comfortable wearing. And, and once I have these products shipped, you will not see me on this video without a Ronin hat on my head and you will love them too, I promise. So I made affordable and Actually desirable designs with these Faraday products that I've worked alongside this manufacturer for months and months to build. And so again, I ask you, there was only a few more spots left on the initial order and I'm doing it at a steeply discounted rate. The hats, I believe are about 40 to 45. Normally they're going to be a little bit more expensive than that, but nowhere near 90. So less than half of the cost in the, in the material, to be fair, the material that's, Lined in these is somewhat expensive. And that's really where some of the cost comes from. But I do think that some of the other organizations are just taking advantage of the fact that you don't know any better. So if you get it right now, it's half the cost of anywhere else. Both the backpacks is a fifth, a sixth of the cost. It's 180 for the backpack. And it's, it's. 45 for the baseball hat  40 for the beanie. Okay, only right now though because the prices are going to go up It's not going to go up like a hundred percent and up to their prices. I promise  But I do have to make some margin on this what i'm really trying to do guys is just be able to get that first Bulk order so I don't have to spend thousands of dollars out of my pocket to get the bulk order to start doing the campaigns for you guys to get you to Get on this train because I truly believe that the effect that we can have in the country if we get any Everybody with a Faraday bag and everybody with an EMF blocking hat. One of the 10 foil hats, I believe that there will be a massive disruption in the way that we interact with technology and our health and everything will be much, much better as a result. So  I'm super excited about this. The website is being launched as we speak. Don't purchase from the website because the prices are higher than what you'll get it for at the pre sale launch. But if you do want to go check out the website and the work that I'm doing there, that's going to be launched very, very soon. It's Ronan. It's RonanBasics. com, R O N I N B A S I C S, RonanBasics. com, and you can check it all out there. All right. I appreciate you guys. I love you guys. Thank you for the support. Go to the, the website. Go to the show notes here right under where you're listening to the podcast and you'll see that it'll be the very very first link will be the pre launch sale of Ronin and I'll be tracking seeing how well you guys respond to this because again, I know my podcast listeners. I know you guys. I love you guys. I've been talking to you and for, you know, over a hundreds of hours now.  So I know you guys will love this too. And I know you'll support me. So thank you so much in advance. All right. Segway back to creepy Hollywood and music executives. Here's the video about Matt Reif. Here we go.  Comedy Kat Williams  The dark side of hollywood is finally being exposed  Thanks to one of the true kings of comedy kat williams  You know before I became wealthy in business. I actually had a somewhat successful career in stand up comedy  I was on the way up  I was invited to a meeting With some Hollywood executives along with some now famous comedian and we were offered the chance for a deal at online stardom.  But the only way to receive the contract was by sucking both of the execs off.  I immediately got up and walked to the door.  But before I could even exit, the other comedian was sucking. Both of their d k simultaneously.  That guy's name was Matt Reif.  And that's Alpha King rule number 799.  Just because someone is more famous than you,  it doesn't mean they're better.  They might just be gayer.  It doesn't mean they're better, they just might be gayer.  No, I don't think I believe this guy.  But if this is marketing, this is great marketing because I've never seen this guy's face before, but his delivery is honestly too good. It's too practiced. It's it, there's very little emotion in it. It's, it seems to me like this is, this guy's full of shit, but a pretty good comedy bit if he is nonetheless.  But.  I didn't hear that whole video all the way through. So that's, that's pretty funny.  Tom Segura and I think Duncan Trestle did a video.  Making fun of this. Like I thought everybody knew you had to suck a dick to get into comedy. Like that's just the rule. And I think Matt Reif went and like blocked the guy who posted this Dom Lucre and all of this stuff and drama. I like Matt Reif. I think he's pretty damn funny. His crowd works amazing. I have nothing against the guy. I think this is pretty funny. And Hey, if you had to suck a dick. for hundreds of millions of dollars or whatever that dude's making and you're happy to do it. I got nothing against your man.  Do  you, my friend?  It might not be more, better comedy. You just might be gayer.  Oh, that's so funny.  But if Reif is, he's a comedian,  Again, a younger guy probably in his early 20s, mid 20s at this point sweeping the world on Tik Tok and all th

« Là, ce n'est pas possible ! » Jusqu'alors inconnue du grand public, Rima Abdul Malak est sortie de l'ombre le 23 avril 2023, lors de la 34e cérémonie des Molières, à Paris. Après le discours de deux artistes membres du syndicat CGT critiques envers le gouvernement et la réforme des retraites, elle a pris la parole pour défendre l'action de son ministère, la culture. Une intervention inédite, et remarquée.Nommée le 20 mai 2022, l'ancienne conseillère culture et communication d'Emmanuel Macron a d'abord eu du mal à exister. Une discrétion d'autant plus saisissante que celle qui l'a précédée rue de Valois, Roselyne Bachelot, est bien connue des Français. Ce n'est qu'à partir de février dernier que les prises de paroles de Rima Abdul Malak ont commencé à attirer l'attention, notamment lorsqu'elle a critiqué la mainmise du milliardaire Vincent Bolloré sur plusieurs médias français.Pour Code source, Yves Jaeglé, journaliste au service culture, et Olivier Beaumont, chargé de l'exécutif au service politique du Parisien, retracent le parcours de Rima Abdul Malak.
