Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he dissects the definition of "true crime," arguing that without the potential for incarceration, a crime isn't really a crime. In this controversial episode, Lionel debates the insanity defense, specifically suggesting that transgenderism should be classified as mental illness in legal proceedings regarding violent offenders. The discussion spirals into a critique of the medical profession's handling of gender reassignment and COVID-19, before diving deep into government conspiracies, MK Ultra mind control, and the "Manchurian Candidate" theories behind famous assassins like Sirhan Sirhan and Mark David Chapman. Finally, Lionel explores the art of arson investigation and the concept of "Culture Under Siege". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
“Living for the STREEP” Series: We are here to celebrate the career of Mary Louise Streep….now known to most as Meryl Streep who has become widely known by critics, film-lovers, and audiences as likely our GREATEST LIVING ACTRESS. Ever since her earlier breakout roles in the late 1970's in films such as The Deer Hunter, and Kramer Vs. Kramer, she has carved out a filmography filled with brilliant performances in memorable films spanning a variety of genres including biopics, thrillers, family dramas, AND comedies. During this time, she has also earned a STAGGERING TWENTY-ONE Oscar nominations including THREE wins. Over the next several months, I will be revisiting one notable Streep film each month – each highlighting a different type of performance – culminating with the May 1 release of the long-awaited sequel featuring one of her more ICONIC roles as Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada 2.How you remake a stone cold classic like The Manchurian Candidate? John Frankenheimer's seminal cold war paranoia thriller was released in 1962 and became one of the more celebrated thrillers of that decade? Well if you're Oscar-winner Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Something Wild), you assemble a very top-flight A-list cast lead by Oscar-winner Denzel Washington, Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, and Liev Schreiber alongside a slew of up-and-coming talent at the time who would eventually become celebrated actors including Jeffrey Wright, Vera Farmiga, Kimberly Elise, and Anthony Mackie. The crazy story (which loosely adapts that of the original) centers on a Desert Storm verteran officer (Washington) who keeps having strange dreams and/or flashbacks to the war....and he's not the only one as he also served with a up-and-coming senator (Schreiber) who is about to run for Vice President, who MIGHT be having the same types of visions. Beyond that, the senator has a very controlling mother (Meryl Streep) who is also a senator and she has some VERY unique plans for her son to rise to power. And the shadowy organization behind all of this is named Manchurian Global who happens to have a lot of military contracts. Things gets just increasingly intense and dangerous for all involved....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
The mics are hot and the takes are hotter. This week, the Dicks tackle Trump calling an Olympian a "loser," the ethics of $9,000 medical trials (Jesse volunteers his body for science… and cash), and a deep dive into cognitive decline that actually ends on a hopeful note. Plus: Uber's broken business model, the Mandela Effect vs. government gaslighting, and why Bondi is a real American c*nt. It's loud, it's loose, and it's exactly what you need.

Un thriller tratto dal romanzo “L'eroe della Manciuria” di Richard Condon e remake di “Va' e uccidi” firmato da John Frankenheimer nel 1962. Un film del 2004 che vede nei panni dei protagonisti Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep e Liev Schreiber. Il maggiore Bennet Marco, veterano di guerra, vive schiacciato dai traumi del suo passato. Lo stesso accade ad alcuni dei suoi ex commilitoni e potrebbe non essere una coincidenza, bensì il frutto di un complotto per controllarli e arrivare al potere degli Stati Uniti d'America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Communism! A menace to all god-fearing Americans in the 1960s, a real travesty against society. At least that was the background that this novel and film dropped into to make a much larger point about the horrors of war and trauma. But even more than a knotty, complicated conspiracy thriller, this is a really unique film from an underrated director and shockingly talented cast…for the most part. Frank Sinatra is pulling quadruple duty here with producing, acting, cajoling studio heads, and really, really acting and it pays off in a major way, even if this was a little too weird for the Oscars.

Send us a textPart 2 of our Manchurian Candidate coverage dives into direct comparisons between the two versions of the film (1962 vs 2004) from the conspiratorial perspective. How does the realism affect the audience's viewing experience? How do the ideas carried by the films and by conspiratorial thinking affect our ability to navigate reality?

Remakes, Re-Imaginings, Expansions. In 2004 Director Jonathan Demme would explore the world of Politics, Espionage, and Cold War Brainwashing with a new and novel take on John Frankenheimer's 1962 Cold War Classic The Manchurian Candidate. Demme would expand and manipulate Richard Condon's source material (a best-selling novel from 1959), replacing the Korean Conflict with an updated Persian Gulf - and a replacement of Soviet and Chinese Communist manipulation with International Global Corporations holding the strings. Demme's update would be both more timely, relevant, frightening, and - somehow - reveal the problems with both films (at least in the mind of one of your hosts). This week Mr. Chavez & I discuss this very important film, its predecessor and its relevance in the current global environment. We discuss great performances from Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, and - a criminally underused - Meryl Streep. Take a listen and decide for yourself if we are correct, misguided, missing the point, or if we don't go far enough with our assessments.

1957 came hard for us with the ever-menacing presence of…Andy Griffith? This one is a real underrated gem, a heady brew of media stardom, political power and ego that makes an aimless narcissistic drifter into a king drunk on his sway. Everyone is fantastic in this movie and it has absolutely zero hardware to show for it - a fact that would be utterly shocking if not for the notes we get into with the trivia.

Officially, MK-Ultra was shut down in the 1960s—but what if it never truly ended? In this episode, we trace the evolution from MK-Ultra to the alleged Project Monarch, exploring the concept of the Manchurian Candidate and the disturbing claim that trauma-based mind control was perfected rather than abandoned. We connect threads spanning Nazi Germany, occult symbolism, behavioral science, intelligence agencies, mass shootings, Jeffrey Epstein, and pop culture programming to ask a chilling question: did the U.S. government succeed in creating programmable human assets? Buckle up for a deep dive into hidden history, psychological warfare, and the unsettling possibility that fiction was meant to make the truth seem impossible.

John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Mr. Chavez & I sit down to discuss a classic of Cold War, Political Cinema, John Frankenheimer's groundbreaking 1962 The Manchurian Candidate. Based on the 1959 novel by Richard Condon, Frankenheimer's film would captivate audiences with a paranoid and chilling story of American soldiers brain-washed by Soviet and North Korean intelligence agencies to act as hypnotized robots. There are aspects of the film that are certainly far-fetched, however the core of the story is very real and a credible warning in its depiction of national and international struggles for power. As always, Mr. Chavez & I look at the film in the broader context of the world it depicts. There is a great deal to discuss here as well as the comparison/contrast that we will undertake when we discuss Jonathan Demme's 2004 re-interpreation in our next episode. It's a fun and exciting talk concerning one of our favorite topics. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Our Continued Thanks.

The Day The Grid Failed- "The Chinese Conspiracy" by John Mariotti "Not since The Manchurian Candidate have I read such a compelling thriller about global conspiracy. But Mariotti goes much further, linking his masterfully fast-paced narrative to the clear and present danger of total cyberwar. This novel is a call to action that our society must answer now."--Richard S. Levick, President and CEO, Levick' Strategic Communications, author of The Communicators: Leadership in the Age of Crisis."The Chinese Conspiracy has the intrigue of John Grisham, the spice of Mickey Spillane and the technical aspects of Tom Clancy." --Tom Quinn"A fascinating book that gives the reader a glimpse into warfare of the future. The outcome of future wars will be determined far in advance of the actual conflict. This is but a preview of things to come."--Paul Broadbent, Former Sr. CIA/Defense Intelligence Program Manager"America is at war and the latest front is the war on cyber terrorism....U.S. computer networks are under constant cyber attacks, by direct assaults by remote sites, by probes by hackers and criminal networks, and by espionage from foreign countries."---Jon Stout, CEO, Aspiration Software LLC"This chilling new novel links the world's increasing dependency on the internet to vulnerabilities that can be exploited for evil."---Calvin Myer, Co-founder Worldwide Ltd."This is fascinating and concerning story - nation-state terrorists using known technologies as "Weapons of Mass Disruption." I'm concerned that it is actually possible, and hope it can be prevented."--Ed Straw, Vice Admiral, USN Retired"If you can read only one exciting novel this year, this is the one to read. It is so realistically possible it's scary."---Bo Dietl, Retired NYPD Homicide Detective, & One Tough CopJohn Mariotti is an award-winning business author and an internationally recognized executive consultant and keynote speaker.

Send us a textThe Manchurian Candidate has long been an idea separated from the film that created the term. The idea that a person could be reshaped and controlled as an assassin has long inspired conspiratorial thinking. So what other ideas from the film inspire these errant notions?
In this episode of Fusion Patrol, the Kenneth and Eugene review The Invaders episode “The Experiment,” which features guest star Roddy McDowall as the son of an astrophysicist targeted by alien brainwashing. The discussion highlights the story’s strong Cold War influences, noting how the plot mirrors spy thrillers like The Manchurian Candidate by effectively substituting aliens for Soviet agents.

I'm joined by Swabreen Bakr from the Anti-Brain Rot newsletter and we talk about Greta Garbo's first words heard on screen, how the film addresses women's issues at a time when that was not a topic of conversation in film, and how the film looks at characters of lower social status in a time when many movies focused on the rich and well off.You can watch Anna Christie online for yourself and be sure to check out Swabreen's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The Manchurian Candidate (1962) directed by John FrankenheimerGrand Prix directed by John FrankenheimerThe Island of Dr. Moreau directed by John FrankenheimerA Woman of Affairs directed by Clarence BrownThe Big House directed by George HillReds directed by Warren BeattyDynamite directed by Cecil B.

Infinite Plane Radio open phones 11/22/25 “The Meta Script: Hoaxes and Worldview Control” Infinite Plane Radio open phones 11/22/25 “The Meta Script: Hoaxes and Worldview Control” November 22nd, 2025The discussion centers on the "Very significant hoax-aversary" of the killing of JFK, framing it and subsequent significant public events as manufactured myths or staged simulated events (psyops) that are recycled and planned far in advance.The assassination of JFK on November 22nd is presented as a myth, not a real event, which is accepted as real because it is part of the "state religion" and its myths are considered "real". It is suggested that the event fits the template of a psyop and was directed by figures like Stanley Kubrick and John Frankenheimer.The concept of the "lone wolf assassin" has been recycled, evolving into the "lone furry" to describe recent shooters like Thomas Crooks and Tyler Robinson, suggesting nothing has fundamentally changed and that "History definitely rhymes". John Frankenheimer, director of The Manchurian Candidate (a template for the lone wolf assassin), is noted for driving RFK to the Ambassador Hotel where he was killed by a "mind controlled assassin".High-profile figures like Candace Owens are critiqued as "alt-mainstream" or "controlled opposition," disseminating predictable conspiracy theories (such as Israeli-trained assassins taking out Charlie Kirk) that are designed to be discredited, thereby tarnishing the reputation of genuine skepticism toward mainstream media. This behavior is seen as embodying the negative archetype of the "conspiracy theorist" created in the wake of the JFK assassination.Large-scale events are considered part of a long-term "meta script" where historically significant occurrences are proactively created and planned, sometimes decades in advance, to curate the collective worldview and maintain a monopoly on media. The Charlie Kirk assassination, for instance, is suggested to have been scheduled at least 27 years in advance.These simulated events follow a systemic formula involving predictive programming (foreshadowing in media), concurrent programming (related content appearing simultaneously), and reinforcement programming (the post-event echo chamber), often paralleled by concurrent drills in the exact location of the event.Quotes from the Source:"The killing of JFK is actually a myth, not a real event"."Mark Twain said, history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. It's kind of doing both. There's a lot of recycling going on"."No, the reason why Candace Owens is the number one podcast is because this is slop. This is conspiracy slop for the masses"."The truth is they don't kill people in psyops. But they need you to believe that the person's dead"."The meta script, would be the program. It would be all of the fake events that are going to be inserted onto the real timeline".Insight Analogy:Thinking of historically significant events as elements of a "meta script" is like viewing the nightly news as episodes of a long-running, reality-bending television series. The main producers (governments, media controllers) don't just report on accidents or spontaneous events; they plan major plot twists—like assassinations or terror attacks—years in advance, ensuring that movies, sports, and popular culture (predictive/concurrent programming) have already subtly laid the foundation in the audience's mind, making the "event" feel inevitable, believable, and historically important when it finally airs.
On this Thanksgiving edition Mike Pesca serves up two revitalized classics, starting with Henry Winkler (The Fonz), who joins to discuss his Hank Zipser books, the unique Dutch font designed for dyslexic readers, and his tenure-granting plan to design the world's first consumer jet pack. Then, we revisit a conversation with counterterrorism expert Clint Watts, breaking down his viral congressional testimony advising senators to "follow the trail of dead Russians" while analyzing the distinction between a "Manchurian Candidate" and a "useful idiot", the Russian doctrine that "there is no truth", and why the term "fake news" has become a catch-all for "anything I don't want to hear".

[00:07:39] – The Manchurian Candidate of Global ChaosKnight says Trump's tariffs are designed not to help U.S. workers but to destabilize global markets—“a Manchurian candidate for the globalists.” He contrasts Reagan's targeted trade policy with Trump's chaos-driven protectionism that punishes allies and wrecks economies. [00:16:01] – Corruption, Lawsuits & Impeachable CrimesKnight accuses Trump of weaponizing the Justice Department and tariffs for personal gain, coercing media companies like CBS. He argues these acts meet the constitutional standard for impeachment, proving Trump's authoritarian mindset and disregard for lawful restraint. [00:33:49] – The Soros Connection & Doublethink PoliticsKnight exposes Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Besant's financial history with George Soros, mocking MAGA supporters for ignoring the hypocrisy. He says the movement's “doublethink”—defending globalist ties while claiming to fight them—reveals Trumpism as a psychological cult, not a populist movement. [01:10:22] – MRNA in the Food SupplyKnight details the USDA's approval of mRNA shots for livestock under Trump, calling it a “food contamination program.” He links the policy to Bill Gates–backed biotech efforts to genetically alter food and human biology through state-controlled agriculture. [01:33:42] – The ICE Weapons SurgeKnight reveals ICE's weapons budget has exploded 700% under Trump's second term, transforming the agency into a domestic army. He calls it the foundation of a “digital police state” merging border control with total surveillance infrastructure. [02:10:29] – Genocide in Nigeria: Equipping the PersecutedKnight interviews missionary filmmaker Jud Saul, who exposes mass Christian killings by Fulani militants. Saul blames Obama-era operatives for helping Muslim factions seize power and condemns U.S. silence as millions of Nigerian Christians are slaughtered or displaced. [02:17:00] – China's Exploitation of the Killing FieldsSaul reveals that Chinese mining companies are seizing land from murdered Christians with terrorist cooperation. Knight calls it “globalism's true face”—Beijing profiting from genocide while Western governments look away. [02:33:45] – Venezuela, Trump & the Next U.S. WarKnight closes with Trump's military escalation in Venezuela, calling his “war on drugs” a lie to seize oil fields. Comparing Trump to Duterte and Obama, he warns that MAGA's militarism will drag the U.S. into endless foreign wars and destroy what remains of constitutional liberty.

Tara dives into the mystery of JD Vance — his political evolution, public persona, and the curious remarks of his wife, Usha Vance. Once a “Never Trumper” and outspoken supporter of progressive causes, JD has transformed into one of the fastest, most agile political minds of his generation. Tara breaks down why Usha calls him a “Manchurian candidate,” explores his shifting ideologies, and examines the uncertainty around whose side he's really on — while acknowledging his undeniable talent to command attention and sway conversations.

Lionel explores the power of film and cinema, asking listeners to share the movies that didn't just entertain, but made a real impact or changed the way they think. Delving into the importance of presentation—from listening to music loud to the communal experience of watching a film in a classic art house theater—Lionel laments the current era of "dopamine schllock" on personal screens. Callers discuss formative political thrillers like The Manchurian Candidate, the emotional weight of films like Sleepers and It's a Wonderful Life, and the sheer terror of The Exorcist. Also featured are sharp takes on conspiracy culture, including the Enigma Project and the real focus of the Epstein case (the financial aspect, not just "sex trafficking").

William Ramsey's latest appearance on Tin Foil Hat dives into the chilling connections between The Manchurian Candidate, the CIA's MK‑Ultra program, and modern psychological operations. He highlights how tactics once thought confined to the 60s and 70s—brainwashing, covert conditioning, and programmed killers—echo disturbingly in today's climate. His warning is clear: Assassin Season is back.

Welcome to Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli. In this episode, Austin Ward Picard and Brad Binkley delve into the disturbing connections between the Aurora theater shooting, the Sandy Hook tragedy, and the LIBOR financial scandal—highlighting that both James Holmes and Adam Lanza reportedly had family members linked to the ongoing investigation.. They argue that Holmes, a neuroscience student with alleged DARPA connections, shows signs of being a modern Manchurian Candidate, potentially subjected to mind control and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Drawing on From PSYOP to MindWar by Vallely and Aquino, they highlight the use of psychological warfare to erode free will and reshape identity. The Aurora event mirrors Columbine in method and symbolism, with testimony from ex-prisoner Steven Unruh and references to the 1986 Batman comic suggesting deliberate behavioral programming and "Revelation of the Method" as part of a broader assault on human consciousness.

There isn't yet a tariff on conspiracist narratives. So former Daily Wire podcaster Candace Owens imported one from France. Which is why she now finds herself the subject of a serious lawsuit filed by the French President Emmanuel Macron and the First Lady Brigitte Macron. Owens used Instagram influencer aesthetics to recycle a 2021 theory for American audiences that was originally promoted by a French spiritual medium and spread through “Yellow Vest” and antivax networks. For some reason, Owens wasn't satisfied with the genuinely odd history of the Macrons' relationship (they met when Brigitte was married with children and Emmanuel was just 14, despite most American sources claiming they met when he was 15.) Instead she picked up the convoluted conspiracy theory that Brigitte is really her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux who became a trans woman and proceeded to assist with turning Emmanuel into an MKULTRA-controlled “Manchurian Candidate.” In Owen's ludicrous tale, the Macrons then killed anyone who started asking questions about Brigitte's past, Clinton-body-count style. But since this nonsense is powered by crude bigotry rather than any investigatory impulse, the evidence is unsurprisingly weak. Owens' method of argumentation involves ignoring the fact that Jean-Michel Trogneux is clearly alive and a separate person, looking at real photos and declaring them fake, and birthday numerology. Travis, Jake, and Julian unpack Owens' past, the history of the conspiracy theory, how she promoted it through the 8-part series “Becoming Brigitte,” and the lawsuit that now threatens her independent media empire.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 2: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The United States of America does not have a functioning government. The Trump Dictatorship and the Library of Congress – Congress which Mike Johnson runs via a porn app – DELETED part of the official online edition of the Constitution – the part that limits the suspension of Habeas Corpus and bans presidents accepting foreign bribes. The Library says it was a coding error and would be fixed soon…ish. Yeah, the coding in Trump’s DNA. The White House had to DENY that the White House Chief of Staff was to meet last night with the Vice President, the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and the FBI Director to discuss what to DO about the Trump/Epstein cover-up scandal, and what to do WITH the RECORDING of the Deputy Attorney General’s two days’ of bargaining with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker… and nobody seemed to notice that the headline was that WHATEVER the Chief of Staff, A-G, Deputy A-G, and FBI Director WERE meeting with the Vice President ABOUT… the PRESIDENT WASN’T GOING TO BE THERE. There is no competent executive authority, no congressional or senate oversight, no reliable judiciary. The United States of America does NOT NOW have a functioning government. The nominal president has spent the last few days making up economic statistics and poll numbers and threatening his predecessors with prosecution for imaginary crimes punishable by death while wandering around the roof of the White House, and phoning in to a business network with racist moronity the content of which is just this side of a 19th century minstrel show, or continuing to get more and more in bed, figuratively, with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker, in a scheme to cover-up her crimes, her late partner crimes, and whatever the president’s role was or was not… in them. And the first and seventh people in the line of presidential succession were going to have dinner with their Epstein expert who just met with Gulaine Maxwell and the head of the FBI and the woman who RUNS the White House but NOT the president and you know it almost doesn’t MATTER if they were meeting to try to figure out what to do about Trumpsteen or not. By 3:14 PM Eastern the Library of Congress said Sections 8, 9 and 10 of the 1st Article were back online so, shrug emoji, I guess there are limits on emoluments and suspending Habeas Corpus… for now. Fifteen minutes later, however, there were still huge swaths of all three sections missing from the official online version of the Constitution. But coding. And so what, it’s just the ONLINE version, what’s the difference? Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because she wouldn’t delete the official online jobs numbers and will soon find someone to post fabricated numbers online which will then be accepted as real – and official – because they’re ONLINE. There is no functioning government, just a mediocre Public Relations firm. Understaffed. Trying to sell Edsels, Google Glasses, New Coke, and fascism. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Acting NASA "Director" Duffy wants to put nukes on the moon, even though that was the plot of the re-make of the movie "The Time Machine" in which nukes on the moon destroyed the moon and rendered earth uninhabitable good call reality TV boy. The New York Times won't stop trying to make Harvard-Fetch happen. And the Trump Council on Lack of Fitness, the one Super Bowl star Saquon Barkley turned down membership on? The Council announced he accepted. C-Block (55:00) THURSDAYS WITH THURBER: Of all his great stories, the one that might have been the most likely to have been written in order to be performed aloud, I humbly offer you this week: "The Night The Bed Fell."
