Podcasts about Space Needle

This episode of IPS DEPROGRAM, recorded on Monday, May 26th, 2025, focuses heavily on the symbolic correlations between the Space Needle, the Tower of Babel, and past events like the Twin Towers falling. The host states, "We've correlated the Space Needle, symbolically, to the concept of the Tower of Babel falling. And this has been connected with the Twin Towers,". This connection suggests that a potential event involving the Space Needle in Seattle could be seen as a continuation or repetition of the 9/11 narrative. Other events like the Titanic sinking and the fall of the One World Trade Tower are also seen as part of this recurring story.

This episode of the IPS DEPROGRAM, recorded on May 30th, 2025, begins by noting that the date is "just 11 days out from what could be a very interesting day". While acknowledging there's "always a curveball", the speaker refers to the "consistent representation of the destruction of the Space Needle" in conjunction with themes like EMP, blackout, and earthquakes as strongly suggesting potential future events. Ultimately, the episode is characterized as engaging in "Metascript analysis," aiming to understand the "big story" or "script of fake history that is being performed in front of our [eyes]". This approach involves reading current events "as though it were a work of literature" and looking at trends and "past precedent" to understand "where it's going". The speaker emphasizes they are not making specific predictions but observing patterns of "psychological preparation for the next 9-11". The potential for something to happen in Seattle on June 11th is discussed, based on the media alignments, with the speaker stating it "wouldn't shock me".

IPS DEPROGRAM 6/1/25 News Bending PsyopsThe episode began with the host announcing the launch of a new AI agent called the IPS stenographer in the Discord server. This bot is designed to automatically summarize the latest comments and create infographics every four hours, posting them in a dedicated summary room. Users can also get a synopsis on demand using a specific command. The host mentioned previously doing this manually and used ChatGPT and Grok to help automate the process. They noted that Grok can elaborate on prompts and assisted in activating the bot on Discord.A core theme of the discussion is the analysis of current events and media through the lens of predictive programming and a concept called the "meta script," which is described as the big story that becomes history. The host views media, including movie trailers and news, as different forms of propaganda – entertainment propaganda parallel to information propaganda – that are interconnected and reveal a larger narrative. By looking at these things holistically, they aim to arrive at subtexts and bigger pictures.The conversation delved into numerous examples and recurring symbols observed in media and events:Movie trailers discussed included Sinners, Mickey 17, Captain America: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Final Destination: Bloodlines, The Home, and Welcome to Derry.Recurring symbols and themes highlighted were the Space Needle (linked to EMP, the Electronic Music Project, movie plots, and the sinking of the West), EMP events, the eye/iris and needle into the eye (appearing in movie posters and montages), three pillars/masts (seen in the International Hotel, Space Needle, and a Mexican Navy ship), space interpreted as inner space or mind control, the sinking of America or the West (symbolized by the Titanic, the boat hitting the bridge, the Space Needle, and One World Trade Tower), and various numbers and dates (such as 6-11, 11-6, 84, 216, and 33).Specific events analyzed through this lens included the Trump shooting in Butler (linked to the Riddler, Ave Maria, and specific numbers), a Mexican Navy ship hitting the Brooklyn Bridge (noting the three masts and the death of a cadet named America), the East Palestine train derailment (compared to the Netflix movie White Noise and recent lawsuits against BlackRock and Vanguard), the JFK assassination (connected to Trump symbolism, dates, Macbeth, and a home movie allegedly showing his "death"), and the Reagan shooting (noting the 33-year delay in James Brady's death being ruled a homicide).The host discussed the concept of the "auto-hoaxer" and observed media attempts to frame it negatively. They also touched on "Psychic Driving", the "political horseshoe theory" as a deliberately implemented model, and interpreting world events through the lens of WWE kayfabe.The host mentioned the upcoming release of PSYOP trading cards.

While acknowledging there's "always a curveball", the speaker refers to the "consistent representation of the destruction of the Space Needle" in conjunction with themes like EMP, blackout, and earthquakes as strongly suggesting potential future events.A central theme discussed is the potential for a **nuke scenario involving water and a coast, specifically Seattle**. This idea ties into symbolism from various media, including the **Kraken** from *Hunt for Red October* and the **Poseidon weapon** from conversations about the Odyssey and the nymph Calypso. The Space Needle is linked to this through a sculpture at its base in *Final Destination* depicting a "massive crab coming out of the water". The speaker notes this "ties it together kind of neatly". **Godzilla is also presented as a metaphor for the nuke**, with the release of the film coinciding with *Oppenheimer*. An EMP event is considered part of this story, potentially originating "from the water". The conversation also touches on a Japanese comic book that allegedly predicted the Fukushima disaster and now points to July for a "major disaster," leading to tourists canceling plans. A participant, Diana Southard, suggests a "tsunami created by a nuked submarine".

Local author Thomas Kohnstamm said his latest novel, "Supersonic," is a book of place, specifically, Seattle. He told Book Lust host Nancy Pearl "Seattle isn't the Space Needle or the Fremont Troll," but rather the interactions between neighbors, the waves of people entering the city, and the constant process of building. The novel tells the stories of four families over 150 years of Seattle history, and delves into what Kohnstamm calls the mythology of the city in a way only a book written by someone born and raised here could.

The IPS DEPROGRAM April 25, 2025, delves into a topics centered around the idea of manufactured realities and "psyops." He begins by discussing the concept of "mind viruses" that the public is supposedly powerless against, leading to societal control, drawing a parallel with the pretext used for lockdowns. ."the public is facing an onslaught of mind viruses which they are powerless against and it will cause them to become violent".Ozman also mentions using an AI tool, riverside.fm, to edit out dead air from his podcasts, highlighting how "these new tools have made my life easier".A significant portion of the episode revolves around the idea that various events are "closed systems" existing on their own "movie set," populated by "crisis actors" with specific security clearances. He argues, "There's not a mix of real people and fake people in these events, or rather actors and regular civilians". Ozman uses the Metcalfe stabbing incident and the involvement of a January Sixer as an example to suggest the event is entirely fake. He also touches upon the phenomenon of influencers who are "clearly puppeteered" in these "bigger psyops," reinforcing their manufactured nature.The discussion then shifts to the recurring theme of "twins" in media and alleged hoaxes. Ozman mentions the "sink twins" and the coincidental exits of the heads of the papacy and the WEF on the same day. He also notes the appearance of twins in the movie Sinners in relation to a real-time stabbing incident, suggesting an overlap and reinforcement of the idea that events like the Austin Metcalf stabbing might be fake and easily staged with "twinsies".The first caller, Challenger Hoax (YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@challengerhoax2740)They bring up the idea of "truther bait," suggesting that misinformation, like the claim of twins in the Challenger disaster, is spread intentionally. Challenger Hoax states, "they said that there was two twins when officially there's no twins they never said they were twins ever that's just like misdirection". Ozman finds this "fascinating" and agrees with the concept of truth or bait, where channels might promote debunkable information. He wonders if they are "walking around with self-discrediting talking points or examples of evidence of hoaxery without even knowing it?".Ozman discusses the mass media as a "psychological abuser and a liar" that triggers people and potentially feeds off their negative emotional energy. He believes, "Big brother is a narcissist". The idea of overlapping characters in different psyops is explored, noting that Luigi Mangione shares a prison consultant with Harvey Weinstein, and the same coroner might handle autopsies for high-profile fake events.The concept of "predictive programming" is also a significant theme. Ozman discusses the numerous connections between fiction, such as Back to the Future, and real-world events like 9/11. He states, "The preponderance of evidence supports our claims. You're free to examine that. But you would be very hard pressed to come up with a way to deny the amount of predictive programming in Back to the Future for 9-11". He also touches upon The Simpsons and Family Guy as potential "vectors for predictive programming". Ozman mentions the uncanny way life seems to imitate movies with "impossible timing".The significance of numbers like "113" is discussed with Challenger Hoax, linking it to Robert Anton Wilson, the dog star Sirius, chaos, and secret societies. Ozman explains that Wilson "correlates the number 23 with the dog star".Towards the end, Ozman makes predictions based on his analysis, suggesting to "keep our eyes on a sudden unexpected exit of Laura Loomer from the world stage" and a potential disaster involving the "Space Needle in particular, having some kind of a disaster. And that's scheduled for 6-11". He emphasizes that they are "just documenting what is and the seeming prophetic nature of the media" rather than speculating.Donate

Martin Selig, the commercial property developer who at one point owned nearly a third of downtown Seattle office space, defaulted on debt backed by three buildings located near the iconic Space Needle.The $135 million debt has been transfered to a special servicer, according to monthly commentary. A spokesperson for the company, called Martin Selig Real Estate, said conversations regarding the debt are ongoing.Selig's business has been confronting the fallout from higher interest rates, which has made refinancing debt tougher. Office demand in the city is struggling to rebound as many companies still allow employees to work from home, even though Amazon.com Inc. workers are back five days a week.

“If you want to make change, you've got to make noise.” A call to action in the political sense conveys boldness and focus. It's about drawing attention and speaking loudly about one's convictions, with a sense of urgency and persistence. To longtime outspoken advocate and US Senator Ron Wyden, that's what you'd call chutzpah – and his upcoming book sets out to inspire that same quality of action-driven audacity in Americans of all ages. It Takes Chutzpah: How to Fight Fearlessly for Progressive Change acts as a reflection of Wyden's decades of public service and as a motivational manifesto to push people forward. Noted throughout his career in government for championing civil rights, sensible ideas, and strategic alliances that strive to get pressing bills passed, Wyden understands the importance of strong, loud community and charting new pathways. In It Takes Chutzpah, Wyden explores the long history of the Yiddish word chutzpah, the many interpretations of it across Jewish culture, and how he sees the trait as a tool to reclaim idealism and enact positive change. Wyden compels individuals and groups alike to look at the objectives before them with this boldness in mind, as well as conviction in their values. Wyden touches on the importance of free speech, healthcare, reproductive rights, a clean environment, and regulating the impacts of Big Tech throughout his political tenure. He explores how campaigning for the preservation of those values has been bolstered over the years– and even offers “Ron's 12 Rules of Chutzpah” as a guide to defying convention and achieving progress. It Takes Chutzpah stresses that unapologetic volume and the nerve to keep fighting can prove crucial in accomplishing goals, creating allies, and moving brazenly forward together. Ron Wyden is an American politician and longtime advocate in the areas of civil rights, internet freedom, healthcare, and more. He currently serves as the senior United States senator from Oregon and Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance. He has previously held positions in the U.S. House of Representatives and as the Chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. State Representative Liz Berry represents Washington's 36th Legislative District, located in the shadow of Seattle's Space Needle. She is a passionate advocate for ending gun violence, combating plastic pollution, and standing up for working families and consumers against powerful special interests. A lifelong champion for women in leadership and reproductive justice, Rep. Berry served as president of the National Women's Political Caucus of Washington and as a board member for Pro-Choice Washington. She is the former Legislative Director to U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords. Rep. Berry lives with her husband and two young children in Queen Anne.  Buy the Book It Takes Chutzpah: How to Fight Fearlessly for Progressive Change Elliott Bay Book Company

We look at the new book by Sönke Johnsen. See more about Into the Great Wide Ocean : Life in the Least Known Habitat on Earth here. Into the Great Wide Ocean Life in the Least Known Habitat on Earth This book is a little bit different from some that we have reviewed about the sea and various popular science tracts about it. Turns out this is not necessarily a bad thing, and we have already recommended to some other people already. There is a lot more about the author in this book than you will find in some others in this field. There is a good reason for this however, as Johnsen wants to take you on his journey into why he loves what he does, and what exactly it is that he does, and does not do. Depending on your familiarity with scuba diving and deeper sea exploration some of this may seem quite prosaic and descriptive, but, at the same time it serves as a good introduction for those looking to make a deeper dive (terrible pun we know) into this whole area of exploration. The authors passion and enthusiasm for his work means that this quite nuts and bolts approach actually works quite well. He aims to take away the glamour, if you felt it was such, for deep sea exploration and learning more about the sea. At the same time though, with some lovely drawn illustrations too, he takes the reader on an informative and thought provoking discussion of how science is conducted out in some of the worlds, still relatively unknown to us, oceans. The physics of scuba diving, nitrogen narcosis and more, are also thoughtfully well explained. If this book inspires more people to study in this field then the book will have doubly been a success, as well as proving an interesting read for those of us who are now armchair scuba divers. More about this book The open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths. Into the Great Wide Ocean takes readers inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence. Sönke Johnsen vividly describes how life in the water column of the open sea contends with a host of environmental challenges, such as gravity, movement, the absence of light, pressure that could crush a truck, catching food while not becoming food, finding a mate, raising young, and forming communities. He interweaves stories about the joys and hardships of the scientists who explore this beautiful and mysterious realm, which is under threat from human activity and rapidly changing before our eyes. Into the Great Wide Ocean presents the sea and its inhabitants as you have never seen them before and reminds us that the rules of survival in the open ocean, though they may seem strange to us, are the primary rules of life on Earth. Sönke Johnsen is professor of biology at Duke University. He is the author of The Optics of Life: A Biologist's Guide to Light in Nature and the coauthor of Visual Ecology (both Princeton). Marlin Peterson, who created original illustrations for this book, is an illustrator and muralist who teaches and illustrates in many styles and media. He also specializes in giant optical illusions such as his harvestmen mural below the Space Needle in Seattle, and his full portfolio can be found at marlinpeterson.com. See more book reviews here.

A teen was arrested Saturday in Seattle for felony property damage during a protest, and police say the King County juvenile detention facility declined to book the suspect into custody. Police say "approximately 200 individuals" participated in a demonstration on Saturday afternoon in downtown Seattle near the Space Needle. The demonstrators were "disrupting traffic and violating municipal laws," and officers observed several tags of black spray paint graffiti on the concrete columns of the Seattle Monorail. The female teen suspect was eventually located and arrested on suspicion of malicious mischief in the second degree, police say. Black spray paint was found and matching paint could be seen on her hands, according to police.

Rerun: La Ronde, the USA's first revolving restaurant, opened on 21st November, 1961, at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu. On the menu in the 298ft-tall tower was shrimp cocktail, mahi-mahi, and ‘the Queen of beefdom'. It had a predecessor, though, in perhaps an unlikely city: post-war Dortmund, Germany.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace the origins of rotating restaurants back to Ancient Rome (of course); recall Elvis Presley's role in furthering the popularity of high-rise revolving dining at the Space Needle; and consider the particular appeal of ‘high attractions in low rise cities'...  Further Reading: • ‘A Moveable Feast: A Brief History of the Revolving Restaurant' (Duck Pie, 2014): https://duckpie.com/2014/05/02/a-moveable-feast-a-brief-history-of-the-revolving-restaurant/ • ‘Revolving Architecture: A History of Buildings That Rotate, Swivel, and Pivot - By Chad Randl' (Princeton Architectural Press, 2008): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Revolving_Architecture/H8gAaZj2e-AC?q=sky+view&gbpv=1#f=false • ‘Top of Waikiki Revolving Restaurant View' (Life Is Amazing, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYOUofNjFU4 ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

Hello! Please take our end-of-the-season survey at http://strongsenseofplace.com/survey! We'd love to hear from you. Seattle is a mashup of water and mountains — it just might be the ultimate outdoor playground. If you want to go hiking, camping, boating, biking, or meander in a beautiful garden, Seattle is a fantastic place to do all of that. It can also claim a vast realm of ‘firsts' in music, architecture, politics, and literature. (Not to mention Bigfoot sightings, if that's your thing.) There's grunge music, Elvis appearances, the Seattle Seahawks' 12th Man, an inordinate number of sunglasses, and more library cards than anywhere else in the United States.  The city also hosted two World's Fairs: the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition in 1909 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush (you do not want to miss the Two Truths and a Lie story about that one!) — and the Century 21 Exposition in 1962. That one tried to predict what life in America would be like in the year 2000 and beyond — which gave us the Space Needle, the Alweg Monorail, and a car shaped like a rocket. In this episode, we learn the stories of a few remarkable Seattle women, celebrate Seattle's superlatives, and share a bookish itinerary for the ‘Most Literate City in the Country.' Then we recommend seven great books that took us there on the page, including an unusual ghost story, a memoir about living in 1950s Seattle, a thriller set in the world of journalism, three graphic novels that will make you want to take a walk, and a modern fable set in the San Juan islands.

Seattle Police responded to two separate street takeover events this weekend, one near the Space Needle and the other near T-Mobile Park in Seattle. In video that FOX 13 Seattle obtained, you can see the illegal racers shoot fireworks at responding police. The first incident happened on Friday night around 10:18 p.m. According to authorities, police were called to monitor the street takeover near First Avenue and South Atlantic Street, which is right in front of T-Mobile Park. Police say a large crowd had formed and some among them tried to incite them to surround patrol cars.

We took the show on the road to record at one of the most iconic locations in the country — The Space Needle. CEO Ron Sevart took the reins of the Needle in 2008 and steered this attraction through the Great Recession, opening Chihuly Garden and Glass in 2012 and then leading both through a global pandemic. Jon and Ron talk about the Needle's $100 million renovation; the origin story of The Space Needle's rotating glass floor; the booming attendance of Chihuly Garden and Glass; the values that guide both locations; the enormous upcoming elevator renovation and more. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Ron Sevart.

A few days ago, I ran a marathon in state #29. Check out "Run the Race" to hear how it went before, during, and after the Pacific Northwest race near Seattle. Best part was sharing the experience with our son, who cheered me on at the finish line. The title of this episode references one of my favorite movies, from decades ago, because I got less than 3 hours of sleep before trying to run the 26.2 miles fast. I talk about the epic concert - with 3 superstars - that led to that lack of sleep...traveling from Georgia to Washington state, then a cool uber to the race start...what it was like running the all downhill race on a sandy trail with gravel, the pros and cons...solid pacers and scenery...what changed at mile 22...bling, scars and a big burger after. There are also stories about our adventures in Seattle and just East of there: what it was like going through the mazes of the very hip Pike Place Market...hiking to different waterfalls...going to the top of the famous Space Needle...pizza at a unique place next to the "gum wall"...and a Christian ministry taking over part of the big city. And I close the episode out in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends.

We're excited to kick off a special three-part podcast series “Celebrating Seattle” in collaboration with Visit Seattle. Our friend Jeannette Ceja, an award-winning bilingual travel journalist and TV host, joins TWM podcast host Mike Schibel to explore some of Seattle's iconic attractions and connect with small business owners in the vibrant Hispanic, Latino, and BIPOC communities. Our adventure in Seattle took place during the cozy season, arguably one of the best times to visit the Pacific Northwest with its mellow vibes, lush scenery, and welcoming locals. Never heard of the cozy season? We suggest giving it a try—we loved it! In part one of “Celebrating Seattle,” we explore some of Seattle's most iconic and well-known attractions, including Pike Place Market, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and the Space Needle. For over a hundred years, Pike Place Market has been a staple in Seattle and a top attraction for travelers. During our visit, we explored three Hispanic and Latino-owned restaurants: Maíz, Copacabana, and Los Agaves, serving authentic cuisines from Mexico and Bolivia. Copacabana was the first Bolivian restaurant in the western United States when it opened over sixty years ago. In the second part of the episode, we talk with Randy Cote from the Space Needle and neighboring Chihuly Garden and Glass. We were mesmerized by the work of the famed glassblower and Tacoma, Washington native Dale Chihuly. You've probably seen Chihuly's work around the world, but walking through Chihuly Garden and Glass is an enchanting experience. Sitting in the famed Chihuly Glasshouse, looking up at the Space Needle, we learned the connection between these two landmarks was enhanced in 2018 when the first-of-its-kind revolving glass floor was installed one floor below the upper observation level of the Space Needle. Visitors now have two incredible views of Seattle and the surrounding areas—from looking out at Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, and the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, to looking down them at the different neighborhoods of Seattle. Many travelers also noticed the Chihuly Garden and Glass right next door. It was pretty cool to look up at the bottom of the Space Needle from inside the Glasshouse and then look through the top of the Glasshouse from the top of the Space Needle. Travel tip: have lunch at The Bar at Chihuly Garden and Glass, which sources incredible local dishes and cocktails and displays many of Dale Chihuly's unique collections. A big thank you to all the amazing people we met: Kathy (Maíz), Vivian (Copacabana), Chef Jaime (Los Agaves), and Randy from the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass. Thank you to our partners on this series, Visit Seattle, for coordinating our adventure, and the wonderful Jeannette Ceja.

We start out today by considering placing bets on the Sawzall next door, which of course leads us to reflect on our experience with high school bookies. 02:25 - A Full House of SpecsTyler mentions that his first exposure to the Golden Gate Bridge was in the opening to Full House. The bridge's span between towers is 4200 feet.The towers reach 746' height above the water.Each tower weighs 22,000 tons.The total length of the bridge is 1.7 miles.80,000 miles of steel wire were used to –enough to wrap around the earth 3 times.  1 million rivetsWe discuss the old-school rivets and a condition that developed among riveters. When the primer paint came into contact with the still-hot rivets, they'd release fumes that led to an odd collection of symptoms. Eddie recalls his first trip over the bridge to Muir Woods, where the Ewok scenes in Star Wars were filmed. Tyler thought about taking a similar trip but lacked confidence in the range of his rented electric vehicle.   09:06 - Joseph StraussEddie leads us into a conversation about Joseph Strauss, who headed up the construction of the bridge. Tyler goes bleepy in his review of Strauss's character. Strauss tended to be a little praise-hungry, tending to brush aside the contributions of others who made substantial contributions to the bridge's design and construction. We discuss Strauss's Renaissance-man range of interests and his death soon after the bridge's completion. Eddie admires Strauss's idea of creating a scale model of the bridge during the building process.  13:24 - Historical Comparisons, Objections, Divers, etc. We discuss the history of suspension bridges and the unique challenges of constructing a bridge over this particular waterway. Eddie recounts the history of interest in building a bridge that would save massive travel time. A drive around this bay at today's travel speeds would take 3 hours. He lists the various parties that objected to the bridge's construction–everything from environmentalists to citizens worried about the naval fleet being prevented from reaching the ocean. (And, of course, you can imagine how worked up the ferrymen were.)Tyler discusses the crucial contributions of the construction divers in those old-school diving suits. We discuss the tasks they completed and the risks they took. 29:00 - Safety Performance, Cables, and AI We express our amazement at the fact that only 11 people died during this project. Considering the safety standards of the day, that was pretty impressive–especially considering the fact that 10 of those deaths occurred in the same incident. That means that if that incident hadn't occurred, there would have been only a single death in a project completed when some decision-makers considered it acceptable to have one death per million dollars spent on a project. We wonder if part of the reason for that safety was hard hats, which were required for the first time on this project. We review the specs related to the massive cables–up to 3 feet in diameter–that both support the bridge and allow it to flex. These big projects created necessities that mothered inventions. Eddie returns to the topic of naysayers and how we approach the decisions to tackle large projects. We ponder the cost-benefit analyses done with projects like this as they relate to environmental concerns. Tyler connects the learning that occurred and the travel patterns that shifted as a result of the Golden Gate Bridge. He links these considerations to our current perspective on AI. 32:50 - Destination StructuresWe discuss the cool feelings that come with the construction of projects that have enough of a presence in the national consciousness that people travel just to see them. Tyler says the Great Wall of China is one that he'd like to see.Eddie would like to go up in the St. Louis Arch and to see the Space Needle, the Taj Mahal. He'd also love to visit some ancient ones.  This prompts us to reflect a bit–thinking that we need to take the time to appreciate the way that people use the things we build. Appreciate the fact that you're making a difference in people's daily lives.
