Podcasts about QAnon

Noelle Cook's The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging is the first ethnography of conspirituality, and it comes via someone who was able to really embed themselves in a volatile culture and find its emotional logic. She's our guest today. Cook focuses on the travails of two middle-aged women following the January 6 Capitol riot. By spending years befriending and talking with Tammy Butry and Yvonne St. Cyr, Cook is able to document the impacts of childhood trauma and systemic neglect—as well as diverse personality quirks—that can drive folks toward QAnon.  They are starseeds. They are mama bears. They are on a divine mission to destroy the matrix and usher in the Great Awakening. For them, the algorithms were oracles, reinforcing isolation and radicalization by providing a sense of purpose to the purposeless, and visibility to the invisible. Cook has not written a book for answers, but a book filled with the next questions worth grappling with as we realize how deeply wounded some recruits to fascism are.

Liv, Jake, and Travis grapple with the killing of Renee Good by an ICE Agent in Minneapolis. Though the incident was captured on video from multiple angles, discourse about it was immediately swallowed by a churn of regime spin, conspiracy narratives, and AI-assisted fakery. To get a better idea of how Department of Homeland Security leadership thinks and operates, Travis interviews independent journalist Ken Klippenstein about internal DHS documents recently leaked to him. Then Jake gives us his report from the fever swamps. The reactions include the inevitable “paid agitator” allegations and a megaphone-wielding QAnon figure who appears at protests to openly taunt crowds with violent rhetoric.

The new book The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook offers an unusually intimate look at why seemingly bizarre conspiracy worlds that involve starseeds, ascended masters, and shadowy cabals are powerfully compelling even when they damage the lives of believers. Rather than taking a detached academic approach, Cook traces how white, middle-aged women were pulled deeper into conspiratorial belief systems in the years leading up to and after January 6, through online communities, the pandemic, personal upheaval, and a New Age spiritual subculture fused with far-right politics. The book follows Cook's long, complicated relationship with two women in particular: Yvonne St. Cyr and Tammy Butry. Yvonne, from Idaho, sought structure in the Marines after a turbulent childhood, then found a home in the world of conspirituality, where politics becomes divine destiny and January 6 becomes a “spiritual war.” Tammy, from Pennsylvania, carries a history of trauma and instability, including seeing how the real-world betrayal of the “Kids for Cash” scandal harmed her children, making QAnon's “save the children” framing feel emotionally plausible. Together, their stories show how conspiracism can function as belonging, meaning, and an explanation big enough to encompass their pain. Travis and Jake talk to Noelle about how her book came together, her relationship with the two subjects, and why conspiracist movements like QAnon can appeal to women over fifty years old.

If you haven't been paying attention to social media lately, the place where Trump lives more than at the White House, then you have missed some astounding QAnon commentary coming from not only his own channels, but from the White House, the Press Secretary, and of all places, the US Department of Labor. Arbeit Macht Frei, anyone? Normally this would not warrant its own podcast, but when you add in the acquisition of Gaza, the capture of Venezuela, the proposed takeover of Cuba, land strikes on Mexico and the annexation of Greenland by military force, now we have a podcast. Boy, do we ever.“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Q and all the Anons were loud and proud during Donald Trump's first term, so much so that even Baptist pastors were preaching Q talking points from their pulpits as if it was truth. Then Biden won and the Q rhetoric went largely silent. Trump won reelection in a landslide and almost as soon as he was sworn in, the Q postings came roaring back to life. Then something strange, really strange, started happening. Slowly at first and then as a flood, Q-themed posts started popping up on official Trump administration social media outlets. No longer consigned to the dark edge of society but now openly promoted by the White House itself. Trump himself as recently as last night, was furiously posting and reposting classic, hardcore Q memes and imagery. So it may just be a conspiracy theory, but this time around, Trump is fully embracing its dystopian and arcane messaging, and today we show you why he is doing that and where it is taking us. One thing about all of this is quite true, nothing can stop what's coming. Welcome to the Last Days Deception.

The ugly effects of Trumpism are corrupting the Midterms as far-right Republican candidates expose themselves as being unfit for office, but MAGA as hell. Impossible but true, QAnon candidates are running and winning elections in key states. Can weak GOP candidates and the January 6th hearings help Dems in the fall? Perhaps. Richard Painter, former White House Ethics Lawyer and now a candidate for U.S. House of Representatives joins Mea Culpa and shares insight on the race from the inside.

From wellness culture and yoga influencers to QAnon forums and January 6, the pathways into conspiracy extremism aren’t always obvious — especially for women. Identity and meaning can quietly turn misinformation into ideology. Author and researcher Noelle Cook discuss did direct fieldwork with women involved in conspiracy movements and the Capitol attack. Extremism doesn’t always look extreme. Sometimes it looks like community. Radicalization — it’s not just for men. Watch Mission Implausible on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MissionImplausiblePod

In this episode of IPS DEPROGRAM, hosted by Tim Ozman at the close of 2025, the discussion centers on the transition from a year dominated by “rage bait” to an upcoming “Great Deconstruction” in 2026. The host introduces the concept of “Auto-Hoax Maxing” (or auto-hoax accelerationism), which posits that because a significant portion of online content is now AI-generated and the world is “deep faked,” the only logical default position is to assume all major media events are scripted simulations.The episode heavily analyzes the “Erica Kirk character arc,” claiming her public grieving and political rise following the alleged death of Charlie Kirk is a manufactured “world stage” performance predicted by films like The Tempest and Heads of State. Ozman dismisses high-profile conflicts, such as the beef between Alex Jones and Candace Owens, as “kayfabe”—fake drama designed to keep the public engaged in political “soap operas”. The conversation also delves into Gnostic cosmology, suggesting humanity is trapped in a “Saturnian” realm of soul extraction and fear, while urging listeners to bypass political engagement in favor of mental deprogramming and “visual literacy” in an age of total deception.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Five Key Quotes1. “We're all, by default, immersed in deep fakery. The world is deep faked.”2. “This is the point... auto-hoax accelerationism. This is the point where we know what we know and we know we're not wrong, so we have to platform this.”3. “We will technically be visually illiterate; we will be dependent upon the authorities to tell us what is and what isn't real. Because we are now in the desert of the designated real.”4. “The world stage is a quarantine against objective reality. It's like being in a bunker, a global bunker.”5. “Erica Kirk has done more for auto hoaxing than anybody since Robbie Parker. If you need any more evidence of world stage theater, and scripted fake characters and fake events, we have it all here.”Topics:• The AI Information Takeover: The host cites reports that 33% of online content and YouTube feeds are now AI-generated, leading to a state of “visual illiteracy” where the public can no longer distinguish between real and manufactured footage.• Auto-Hoaxing as a Methodology: The practice of “Auto-Hoax Maxing” involves assuming media events are fake by default, rather than waiting for proof of a PSYOP.• The Erica Kirk “Conundrum”: A deep dive into the “Turning Point USA” (TPUSA) narrative, asserting that Charlie Kirk is an actor who is still alive and that Erica Kirk's public persona is a “suit” or character being used to promote J.D. Vance for 2028.• Political “Kayfabe”: The dismissal of mainstream “truth seeker” dramas (Alex Jones vs. Candace Owens) and political movements (QAnon) as controlled opposition or “soap operas” meant to divert attention from actual media fakery.• “Looksmaxing” and the “Woke Right”: A critique of the Nick Fuentes/Clavicular interview regarding “bone smashing” and body modification, which the host labels as “gender affirming care for the woke right”.• Predictive Programming in Cinema: Analysis of films and shows such as The Tempest, Heads of State, Sputnik, Daybreakers, and Hot Skulls as scripts that foreshadow upcoming “fake” history, including assassinations and “cyber pandemics”.• Gnostic and Saturnian Philosophy: The idea that the physical world is a “degradation realm” created by a “Demiurge” to extract “soul sparks” through fear and terror, facilitated by “Archons” or “matrix agents”.• The “Great Deconstruction” of 2026: A call for supporters to join the IPS Discord to prepare for a year of dismantling political illusions and accelerating the “Great Deconstruction” using AI tools.• New Year's Eve Terror Drills: Discussion of canceled events in LA, Paris, and Tokyo, which the host suggests are “hoax indicators” or drills used to set the stage for future staged events.

Unappetitliche Verschwörungstheorien gehen jetzt nach hinten los, findet WDR 2 Kabarettist Florian Schroeder: die Akten des Sexualstraftäters Jeffrey Epstein zeigten, dass auch die Rechtsextremen in der US-Regierung offenbar die korrupte Elite sind, als die sie ihre Gegner immer verunglimpft haben. Von Florian Schroeder.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! Here's an xmas gift for y'all. Something from the premium vaults. This one is on the dumb Balenciaga outrage that happened back in the day when Q-Anon was a fringe thing and not a normal part of mainstream politics. Simpler times, somehow. Published 8th December 2022.Enjoy! ----------We were going to do this one on main but honestly heaps of shit has happened so let's swing this one to the patrons! We look at the absurdity of the Balenciaga scandal. I mean, they're not wrong - it's kinda fucked up. But are the right taking cancel culture as their own? Where's the line between art and fashion and which gulag should we throw them all into?The book burning right show their true colours with this one - but why do rich dickheads spend insane money commoditising children?!? Fuck knows... 

An unlock of a bonus episode from earlier this year. ⁠Access all of our bonus episodes here⁠. Happy holidays, everyone! -- -- Earlier this year, a spate of news stories told of chatbot users travelling through the looking-glass right into Conspirituality. Paranoid conspiracies, spiritual awakenings, even falling head-over-heels in love with the simulated personalities of large language models like ChatGPT. Could AI have finally crossed the threshold into autonomous sentient consciousness? Could it be that chatbots were anointing new prophets—or, conversely, that very special users were awakening their very special friends via the power of love and illuminating dialogue? Step aside, QAnon, the code behind the screen is illuminated by God! Sadly, some of these stories trended very dark. Suicides, attempted murder, paranoid delusions, spouses terrified of losing their partners and co-parents to what looked like spiritual and romantic delusions. For this standalone installment of his Roots of Conspirituality series, Julian examines this strange new phenomenon, then takes a detour into Ancient Greece and the oracle at Delphi to show that everything old is actually new again—just dressed up in digital technology.

A handful of videos on social media depict a recent gathering, reportedly in Georgia, where a group of people were gathered to chant “Atlanta” is “Atlantis.” Supposedly they were there to create an “energy vortex” in order to summon the spirit of Atlantis and reclaim the city for black people. What exactly is this supposed to mean?Atlanta was founded in 1837 as a railroad terminus originally named "Terminus,” because the city marked the end of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. It was renamed "Marthasville" in 1843 and then changed to "Atlanta" in 1845. Some believe the city name is a shorthand for “Atlantica,” as in the Atlantic Ocean. Others believe the city was named after Atalanta, a mythologized heroin known for her speed and independence (the wild boar hunt and race against her suitors) which were qualities of the growing rail hub that is Atlanta. The mythical land and concept of Atlantis in some ways even predates Plato, though he is credited with its story. Writing in his Timaeus and Critias Plato derived the Atlantis story from Solon, an Athenian lawmaker who learned of the same from an elderly priest in the land of Egypt at the Temple of Sais. At the time, around 630-560 BC, the records were already at least 8,000 years old. Reportedly a global cataclysm destroyed Atlantis sometime between 9,600 to 11,600 years ago. Later on Francis Bacon termed his ideal city the New Atlantis or Platonopolis. The timeframe noted by Plato places the destruction within the window of the Younger Dryas, 12,900 to 11,700 years ago (10,900-9,7000 BC). It's one thing to be unaware of seemingly lost, drowned or buried history, but another to be so shockingly unaware of basic mythology and recent local history. It is understandable so many are disenfranchised by the lies and ego of mainline historical narratives, but the turn to Q-Anon, Flat Earth, Tataria, and World Fair conspiracies appears to be another layer of disinformation rather than the truth. The “Atlanta is Atlantis” video exemplifies a growing stupidity about human history. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Jared and Mike start the episode by glazing Kash Patel, the objectively cool head of the FBI. Our wonderful boy has thrown racks of taxpayer KA$H on hockey games, hunting, golfing –you name it – all to impress his much younger, country singing QAnon girlfriend. (Trump, if you're listening, please don't fire him!) Then they take a look at Ian Miles Cheong and his epic crash-out. All the Trump guys on X have finally figured out that Cheong is living abroad and they're simply not having it anymore. Finally, the guys take what everyone hopes will be the last look at Olivia Nuzzi and RFK Jr., following Ryan Lizza's allegations that she violated journalistic ethics. It's testosterone fueled. It's chock full of ketamine. It's living abroad in the UAE. It's this week's Posting Through It creamium episode.Listen to the full thing by signing up for our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/PostingThroughIt

**Infinite Plane Radio Broadcast: November 23rd, 2025**This broadcast provided an analysis of current media narratives and political events, framing them as components of the broader **Psyop** Entertainment Complex designed to maintain a controlled worldview through a media duopoly, predictive programming, and reinforcement messaging.* **The Media Duopoly and Controlled Opposition** * The media operates via a duopoly: "Mainstream and alt-mainstream. But the two are triangulated against one another". * Pundits like Candace Owens, despite having the "number one podcast in the world", are seen as "controlled opposition". * Her role is to serve as a bridge, redirecting followers from questioning media (red pill) into specific political narratives (J pill). * "No, she got her start with Project Veritas. I mean, this is all just controlled opposition." * "She's a bridge from red pill to J pill where, yeah, these conspiracies aren't really true. The real truth is this." * "Candace Owens is leading people down well-paved rabbit trails."* **Charlie Kirk (CK) Event as a Staged Psyop** * The purported assassination of Charlie Kirk (CK) is viewed as a "staged **Psyop**" or "magic show". * The CK event was "likely planned, at least scheduled... in the mid-90s". * The narrative structure involves three phases: "predictive programming", "concurrent programming" (e.g., Charlie Sheen discussing JFK assassination on Joe Rogan just before the CK news), and "reinforcement programming" (Candace Owens dominating the topic). * "I think that politics... needs to be looked at as part of the **Psyop** entertainment complex." * "The assumption that people die in **Psyops**" is described as a "guardrail" that prevents people from viewing media fakery in its entirety. * "So now the dominant narratives on this topic are saturated with the alt media perspective clashing with the mainstream. And that's it." * "But the assumption that they're dead is sort of a, it's a guardrail."* **Political Theater and Societal Control** * The entire political system is characterized as "bread and circuses" designed to give "subjugated populations" an "illusion of power". * The political horseshoe split maintains division, enforced by provocateurs. * QAnon is described as a "cult" involving a "syncretic blend of Christianity and politics". * "I think MAGA's on the way out. I think it served its purpose." * "It's clear to me... that there's such a heavy-handed control over worldview that it constitutes a monopoly..." * "I mean, you have to recognize the effectiveness of this systemic media fakery and manipulation of worldview through the fabrication of historic events."* **Predictive Programming and Monolithic Symbolism** * Historical events are forewarned through "predictive programming," acting as "product placement for future fake events". * This manipulative worldview is described as "monolithic," drawing parallels to the monolith in *2001 Space Odyssey*. The monolith represents "the ubiquitous worldview that is a merging of real and fake. Hyper-reality...". * The concept of a "design authority" or "Saturnian presence" is linked to figures like the Man in Black in *Westworld* and Ed Harris's character in *The Truman Show*, who controls time and space. * "I look at it as product placement for future fake events." * "I think what he's giving away with that movie is that we are being moved into this space odyssey." * "The design authority, the meta-scripters, they are the Saturnian presence here." * "If you can plot a timeline and plan in advance 30 years prior to major historically significant events, you control time."* **Color and Archetypal Symbolism (Green/Joker)** * The color green is frequently associated with class warfare and left-wing revolutionary archetypes. * The Wicked Witch in *Wicked* is described as "100 antifa coded", rebelling against a "fascist wizard of oz". * The Joker archetype is highlighted as a "class warrior" linked to "kill the rich" themes. * "So the Joker is accosted by some rich guys on a subway, and he kills them. And he's now a hero." * "The green beret, the Joker, kill the rich, kill the CEOs. This is like a building theme..."* **The Nature of Reality and Disbelief** * The mainstream perspective often equates to the information provided by systems like "Wikipedia or chat GPT". * True skepticism is based on "informed disbelief," achieved by examining all sides, rather than "low information belief". * Psychological operations are only effective because "empathic people weren't being triggered and emotionally manipulated". * "The reason she's number one is she's propped up. I don't think it's organic." * "If your sole frame of reference is your seat and what the magician tells you to lo

A day after the House passed a bill to order the Justice Department to release its Epstein files, Jon Herold, a QAnon promoter who broadcasts under the name Patel Patriot, seemed disappointed that more of Mr. Epstein’s crimes might be revealed.

A day after the House passed a bill to order the Justice Department to release its Epstein files, Jon Herold, a QAnon promoter who broadcasts under the name Patel Patriot, seemed disappointed that more of Mr. Epstein’s crimes might be revealed.

The renewed release of information surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's network has highlighted a striking shift among groups that previously positioned themselves as vocal crusaders against child exploitation and elite corruption. During the height of Epstein's second arrest in 2019, many of the loudest online voices—particularly those aligned with the QAnon movement—used Epstein's case as a rallying point, framing it as proof of a hidden global cabal and leveraging public outrage to fuel a sprawling conspiracy narrative. However, as real legal developments, survivor testimony, and documented links to high-profile individuals have resurfaced in recent months, those same factions have largely retreated from the discussion, offering little public support for transparency or accountability.Critics argue that the earlier conflation of the Epstein case with sensationalized conspiracy content served to obscure legitimate evidence and undermine public focus at a critical moment, ultimately benefiting the powerful figures and institutions implicated in the scandal. Today, instead of calling for investigations or defending survivors, many former activists have shifted to skepticism about Epstein's crimes or have echoed narratives minimizing Ghislaine Maxwell's role. The contrast between their previous public posture and their current silence has raised questions about motives, credibility, and whether the distraction generated at the peak of the case was accidental or strategic.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Infamous pro-Trump conspiracy theorists have been 'strangely muted' on the Epstein scandal - Alternet.org

On Friday night, Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from Congress. But what stood out most? It wasn't that she resigned — it was how she did it. Here, I break down the two most important slogans she publicly rejected: “Where we go one, we go all” and “Trust the plan.” These aren't just slogans — they're core beliefs for QAnon followers and many MAGA Republicans. But MTG's statement marks a turning point. She calls out the “cult-like” devotion to Trump, describes herself as a “battered wife,” and — most shockingly — admits she was fooled.

This bonus episode is Part 2 of Graeber vs Bannon, Anarchism vs Leninism.  I start in the 1870s with Marx and Bakunin fighting over the joys and traumas of the Paris Commune. Marx sees it as an imperfect but historic prototype of a workers' transitional state, cut down before it could consolidate power. Bakunin reads it as a betrayal of anarchist principles — too willing to replicate the machinery it meant to overthrow. Out of that conflict comes a rift that still haunts us: should revolution be disciplined, organized, and strategic, or spontaneous, horizontal, and permanently suspicious of institutions? I explore David Graeber as a hopeful modern anarchist, highlighting his idea of “everyday communism”—the mutual aid and cooperation we already practice—and his vision of Occupy as a revelation of our capacity to act as if we're free. I contrast this with Marxist-Leninist critiques: the exhaustion of consensus, obstructionism, spectacle without strategy, and the refusal to make demands. A story about my late friend Michael Stone at an Occupy “mic check” shows how openness can invite opportunism. Finally, I contrast No King's vagueness with MAGA's fusion of mystical energy and disciplined technocracy—QAnon shamans backed by P2025 architects, vibes condensed to machinery.

In the last days before the catching away of the Church, the Bible shows us a global system preparing itself for the arrival of a political messiah — a man who will promise deliverance, justice, and national restoration. And as we watch America shaking apart at the seams, we are seeing millions of people placing their hope in a single figure they believe can crush corruption, defeat the Deep State, and usher in a new era of righteousness. This week, that spiritual fever boiled over again as a series of dramatic QAnon-themed digital illustrations portrayed Donald Trump as an apocalyptic warrior, standing alone against the powers of darkness. But what's really going on?“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, let me be very clear: I am not saying Donald Trump is the Antichrist. But I am absolutely saying this, that the world is learning to desire exactly the kind of leader the Antichrist will be. A strong man. A fighter. A champion against corruption. A man who promises justice. A man who stands alone against a global cabal. That is the Antichrist template, that is the prophetic silhouette. And the QAnon movement's artwork paints Donald Trump directly into that outline. It is not about Trump, it is about the pattern, and the pattern is 100% biblical. The Antichrist will rise not as a monster, but as a savior. A hero. A man the world admires. QAnon says a storm is coming, MAGA Trump fans say a storm is coming, and activists say a storm is coming. But the Bible says THE Storm is coming — the one unleashed by the Lamb in Revelation 6. What the world is feeling right now is not political electricity, it is the tremor before the opening of the very first Seal Judgment. Trump is not the savior and QAnon is not the revealer of truth. What this really shows is the deepening polarization of this Laodicean age, where men are desperate for a political savior because they have rejected the real one. On this episode, we show you the ugly truth playing out before your eyes.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a darling of MAGA. But this week a disagreement with Trump over the Epstein files has seen him brand her as a traitor. Born in 1974 in the suburbs of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene had a conventional upbringing. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Business Administration, and later owned her family's construction business and a stake in a CrossFit gym. But like so many Americans, Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was a turning point for Marjorie Taylor Greene. In 2020, the newly-styled ‘MTG' ran for election in her home state, winning a seat to the House of Representatives. Soon she was a recognised name on the national stage, known for her provocative style and endorsement of conspiracy theories. In the years since, MTG has aligned herself so closely with the president that some called her ‘Trump in heels'. But her campaigning for the release of the Epstein files has caused a rift between her and her one-time hero.Stephen Smith spoke to Professor Gina Yannitel Reinhardt, senior POLITICO staff writer Michael Kruse, QAnon expert Gabriel Gatehouse, political scientist Andra Gillespie and Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Patricia Murphy, about career, her life in politics and what this rift could mean for her future.

The records show interactions with individuals across politics, academia, finance and media, including Noam Chomsky, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and author Michael Wolff. We cover Epstein's comments about Trump, Michael Wolff's creepy work with Epstein, Bannon's request to visit “the island” the day that Epstein was arrested in New Jersey, and the notorious email in which Epstein's brother references a “photo of Trump blowing Bubba.” Plus: how the QAnon and conspiracist communities are spinning the new revelations.

In many sad cases, promoting QAnon ends with broken relationships and derailed careers. But occasionally, QAnon promoters end up in Congress or as Director of the FBI. This week Jake, Travis, and Liv check in with our QAnon friends in government. We chat about Rep. Margarie Taylor Greene's split with Trump and accusations that FBI Director Kash Patel is living large (while impressing his 24-year-old country singer girlfriend) on the taxpayer's dime. We also discuss The Blaze's bumbling attempt to identify the January 6th Pipebomber through “gait analysis” and Trump's new involvement in the case of former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters, who is serving a 9 year prison sentence for election interference. We don't cover the newly released emails about Epstein, not because any of us have been tourists to Little Saint James, but because the document tranche was inconveniently released shortly after we recorded this episode.

Today, Matt launches into an apology to the conspiracy-loving Q-Anon people who might have been half-right all along. The guys discuss whether or not you can be rich and successful as well as nice (spoiler: you cannot). Callers go head-to-head in a comedy fill-in-the-blank quiz. Later, the guys ask the age-old question, "Is we getting stimulus checks?" and Chuy tells the U.S. government how much it will take for him to forget.Support the show: https://www.klbjfm.com/mattandbobfm/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to Right On Radio. Live right in the real world. And welcome to Right On Radio, everyone. I hope you're having a good day. In this episode host Jeff is joined by John Brisson of "We've Read the Documents" for a wide‑ranging conversation that moves between scripture, current events and spiritual analysis. The show opens with the fan‑favorite segment "Word on Word," comparing Colossians 1:9 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11 and hearing listener reactions. The hosts reflect on Veterans Day—honoring service while debating the public persona of figures like Michael Jaco. They distinguish gratitude for enlisted men and women from critique of clandestine programs and influencer claims, urging prayer for the lost and discernment about public narratives. Political stories and cultural moments are unpacked, from Trump's “golden years” quip and a surprising David Bowie Lord's Prayer clip to debates over whether the recent government shutdown or Q‑related drops are being framed as "biblical." Jeff and John voice skepticism about QAnon's Gnostic and New Age language and warn how spiritual language can be repurposed. Geoengineering and chemtrail theories dominate a large segment: the pair review a striking Tucker Carlson interview with Dane Wigington, discuss evidence shown on geoengineeringwatch.org, and debate claims that "white hats" might be spraying the skies to "clean up" atmospheric issues—while raising concerns about environmental contamination and media framing. The conversation turns to the unfolding 3‑1A Atlas story, Abby Loeb's coverage, and questions about whether an orbital object was an asteroid, a mother ship or part of a staged disclosure. They examine soft‑disclosure signs—from crop circles to public symbolism—and speculate about possible spiritual and technological setups, including the viral clip of a White House Halloween post showing a two‑headed eagle and online theories linking Trump, Melania and the white horse prophecy. Other news items include the latest Epstein‑related email releases, Jared Kushner and Palantir connections (and the Flynn family ties), and the pair's different takes on culpability and controlled narratives. Tucker Carlson's claimed supernatural encounter and the larger question of demons, angels and interdimensional phenomena are debated with personal testimony and caution. Throughout the episode Jeff and John emphasize spiritual discernment: separating genuine Christian witness from New Age or Gnostic reinterpretations, honoring those who serve while exposing harmful systems, and resisting sensational soundbites out of context. The show closes with practical counsel—love your God, love your family, love your neighbor—and an invitation to a Telegram prayer meeting that evening, plus a heads‑up about Jeff's upcoming series and where to follow John online.

Welcome to the Gaslit Nation Trump-Epstein Super Special, where we dig into the 15-year friendship between convicted felon, traitor, and alleged pedophile Donald Trump and confirmed pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. We saved this episode for October 30th – Ivanka's birthday – to remind her and Jared they'll never install her as president. America will be liberated from elite criminal impunity, and we will never forget. Our government, our Supreme Court, our Congress, and too many of our so-called leaders have been hijacked by an elite network of predators – a real-life QAnon hiding behind weaponized conspiracy theories. Everything else is just distraction. For decades, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – his partner in crime and notorious socialite photobomber – collected billionaires, politicians, and power brokers across industries. They believed they'd never face justice because their criminal club protected them in a global kompromat operation tied to Russia and Israel. They had friends in high places like Alex Acosta and GOP cover-up king Bill Barr. The powerful names exposed by Epstein's victims all swear they "had no idea," even though Epstein had been a registered sex offender since 2008. And yet, the Epstein files remain sealed. The same institutions that can track your phone and your email somehow can't unseal a few court documents or convince MAGA to re-open our government. Curious, isn't it? History reminds us: the truth is unstoppable. The Epstein files are just the tip of the iceberg. The public will know the full horrors of Trump's violent crimes. We won't let his deliberately engineered scandals to cover-up his crimes distract us – we demand accountability, we demand justice and solidarity for the victims. Because the real conspiracy isn't a pizza parlor in D.C – it's the silence protecting the predators in power.

Earlier this year, a spate of news stories told of chatbot users travelling through the looking-glass right into Conspirituality. Paranoid conspiracies, spiritual awakenings, even falling head-over-heels in love with the simulated personalities of large language models like ChatGPT. Could AI have finally crossed the threshold into autonomous sentient consciousness? Could it be that chatbots were anointing new prophets—or, conversely, that very special users were awakening their very special friends via the power of love and illuminating dialogue? Step aside, QAnon, the code behind the screen is illuminated by God! Sadly, some of these stories trended very dark. Suicides, attempted murder, paranoid delusions, spouses terrified of losing their partners and co-parents to what looked like spiritual and romantic delusions. For this standalone installment of his Roots of Conspirituality series, Julian examines this strange new phenomenon, then takes a detour into Ancient Greece and the oracle at Delphi to show that everything old is actually new again—just dressed up in digital technology.

This week, Jake and Travis sit down with journalist Will Sommer to unpack his investigation into the New Age wellness empire selling stacks of glowing TV monitors as a cure‑all. Jason Shurka, the brains behind the multi-million dollar operation, used the funds to bankroll a brand new streaming platform, Unifyd TV, whose offerings include documentaries made by QAnon promoters. According to the promoters of this quack cure, their work is approved by a secret society of powerful entities who are dedicated to elevating humankind called “The Light Systems” cabal or “TLS.” One member of The Light Systems, a figure called “Ray,” is regularly filmed while wearing a face-concealing hoodie and gloves in order to preserve his anonymity in interviews with Shurka available on Unifyd TV.

Tucker Carlson adds fuel to the fire with baseless assertions that the federal government was behind the January 6th attack. Talking Points Memo reporter Matt Shuham joins Michael to discuss everything extremist.

The political world gasped once again as news broke from the New York Times' Maggie Haberman that Trump has been telling anyone who will listen that he's getting reinstated as President and has become obsessed to the point of insanity on these voter audits in Arizona and Georgia which he believes will show that he won the election. Elsewhere, QAnon threw a Memorial Day bash in Dallas that saw former trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn advocating for a Myanmar style coup in the United States while Sidney Powell unleashed a torrent of bullshit around Trump's presidential reinstatement.

QAnon-style trafficking myths are hurting real victims and helping nobody. Nick Pell separates trafficking fact from fiction here on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1215On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The math doesn't add up. That viral "800,000 missing children" claim? Pure statistical sleight of hand. Most are runaways or parental custody disputes, not shadowy trafficking rings. The reality is that stranger abductions account for just one percent of kidnapping cases.Forget the Hollywood playbook. Real trafficking isn't a panel van at Walmart waiting for the perfect victim to whisk away — it's the slow burn of grooming. Predators pose as boyfriends, exploit trust, and use psychological manipulation over months.Privilege blinds us to real victims. That suburban soccer mom convinced she's a trafficking target? Statistically safer than she thinks. Actual victims tend to come from marginalized communities, LGBTQ+ youth, immigrants, and kids in foster care — people society already overlooks.Moral panic creates real harm. Trafficking hysteria spawned laws like SESTA/FOSTA that pushed sex work underground, making it more dangerous. When we chase fictional threats, we abandon real victims who need unsexy, long-term support — not rescue fantasies.Real solutions work through boring, beautiful basics. Want to actually help? Support organizations like Polaris Project that provide housing, mental health care, legal aid, and job training. One person at a time, one life rebuilt — that's how you dismantle trafficking networks for real.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

What's worse than a conspiracy theory? When the actual conspiracy is even worse than the theory. Jeffrey Epstein carried out a kompromat operation for years, capturing American elite, unleashing a national security nightmare, and destroying the lives of children. In this special episode with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, we examine Epstein, Trump, and Russia–and the threats that still remain from the real life QAnon.  Epstein was the closest thing Trump had to a friend, going back to the 1980s. The rise of these criminal networks intertwined: Epstein, Trump, and Rudy Giuliani pushing out the Italian mafia as mayor of New York to make room for the Russian mafia–a takeover that accelerated after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Epstein's wife-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was a documented KGB asset with a sideline in laundering Soviet billions, and reportedly also worked with Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, at a time when the Kremlin used the Jackson-Vanik amendment passed by Congress to release spies and criminal assets among the Jewish Soviet citizens, like Lautman's family, seeking refuge in the U.S. While Epstein's survivors beg for justice and promise to release their own list of elite pedophiles, the GOP continue the Epstein cover-up to protect convicted felon Trump, their battering ram against democracy. QAnon was deflection, fueled by Russian disinformation to protect their wrecking ball in the White House. Expect more Russian psyops as the far-right Epstein cover-up continues. Call your reps and demand: release the Epstein files.  Hear the full episode by supporting our independent journalism–your early warning system–at Patreon.com/Gaslit at the Truth-teller $5/month or higher.

We thought Tom Homan was an extreme border hawk and ideologue. Now we know this powerful law enforcement official, who's depriving immigrants of their freedom, may also be a corrupt law-breaker—after he was reportedly recorded taking a $50,000 cash bribe during an FBI sting operation. And MAGA die-hards, like Megyn Kelly, have made clear they don't care. Meanwhile, Kash is having FBI agents pursue Q-Anon leads in the Kirk assassination. Plus, Tucker is a very sick person, Trump is demanding that Bondi file trumped-up charges against his enemies, and Democrats should absolutely not vote to fund this administration. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Leonnig's and Dilanian's reporting on Homan taking a $50,000 bribe Tim on Megyn Kelly's diatribe against him; or watch on YouTube Monday's "Morning Shots" Will Sommer's newsletter, "False Flag" Bulwark Live in DC (10/8) with special guest Rep.

Former conspiracy believer turned skeptic Michael Regilio decodes why people fall for QAnon and flat Earth here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1211On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:From medieval blood libel to modern QAnon, conspiracy theories follow the same template: blaming "others" for society's problems through fear and tribalism.Brain chemistry drives beliefs. Higher dopamine levels and hyperactive pattern recognition make some people more susceptible to seeing conspiracies where none exist.Conspiracy theories destroy families, enable harassment (like Sandy Hook parents), and inspire violence — they're not harmless entertainment.Social needs fuel conspiracies. People believe because theories offer community, make them feel special/heroic, and provide simple answers to complex problems.Critical thinking is the antidote. Question sources, demand evidence, and remember — real truth doesn't need secret codes or special knowledge, just logic and humility.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
