Switzerland's most famous archer shot fruit off his own son's head on 18th November, 1307. Or did he? ‘Chronicon Helveticum' by Aegidius Tschudi, from which the date comes, claims to be a serious historical account, but was written roughly 200 years later - and not published until nearly 200 years after that. And the myth bears remarkable similarities with the Danish folklore of Palnatoki, recorded in print centuries earlier.In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly recount the improbable beats of Tschudi's tale; consider the small casting pool for 1950s swashbucklers; and marvel at how the story has come to represent the (genuine) Swiss resistance of the Habsburg army… Further Reading: • ‘A Brief History of the Legend of William Tell' (The Culture Trip, 2017): https://theculturetrip.com/europe/switzerland/articles/a-brief-history-of-the-legend-of-william-tell/ • ‘Shooting an apple off one's child's head' (Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_an_apple_off_one%27s_child%27s_head#Palnatoki • ‘The Adventures of William Tell: Opening Theme' (ITC, 1958): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcfykK8Iw7w This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?

Infinite Plane Saturnday 11/15/25This podcast features a host discussing various conspiracy theories and sociopolitical critiques with callers and chat participants. Central themes include the concept of “psyops” (psychological operations), the perceived fakery of global events and media narratives, and the idea that both mainstream and alternative media are part of a larger, controlling system. The conversation frequently references simulated events like the Charlie Kirk shooting hoax, the use of archetypes and occult subtexts in mass media, and the dangers of passively accepting a “mass collectively agreed upon delusion,” suggesting that resistance requires rejecting the narratives of both mainstream and alternative spheres.The discussion covers a range of interconnected topics focusing on media fakery, psychological operations (psyops), and the nature of the current global reality, often referring to it as the “world stage” or the “Truman Show”.Here are the bullet points covering the main topics discussed in the source:Media and Psychological Operations (Psyops): The pervasive nature of psyops, characterized by a barrage of distracting events (e.g., stabbings, shootings, plane crashes). These events are described as “bread and circuses” designed to absorb time and attention. The purpose of psyops is context, suggestibility, and conditioning the public for future events.Fabricated History and Metascripting: The belief that historical and contemporary events are proactively planned and staged decades in advance, referred to as history bending or following a “meta script”. Major figures like James Cameron and Stephen King are identified as “metascriptors” whose work contains predictive content influencing public perception.AI and Societal Takeover: The theory that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will fulfill the role of the anticipated “alien invasion” by demonstrating superior intelligence and solving human problems, ultimately leading humanity to submit to it. AI on the world stage will reinforce the mainstream “Wikipedia version of reality” due to its programming.AI in Religion and Personal Life: Instances of churches adopting AI, such as the creation of AI Charlie Kirk and AI-powered chatbots (AI Jesus) for confession and spiritual advice. There is also discussion of horrifying apps that create “digital clones of deceased loved ones” based on their past content, raising concerns about necromancy and the misinformation effect on memories.The Political Duopoly and Controlled Opposition: Rejection of the political sphere, including figures like Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and Nick Fuentes, viewing them as “clowns” or “Poe's” (parodies of extremism) who do not believe what they say and function as provocateurs. The left/right divide is viewed as manufactured outrage and psychological warfare designed to keep the population within a “mainstream box”.Critique of Alternative Media (Red Pill/Woke Right): Alternative media is framed as a “honeypot” or “cul-de-sac” designed to put a leash on free thinkers and prevent them from exiting the worldview established by the world stage. This segment of media often focuses on specific scapegoat narratives (J-pill, Israel, Democrats) that are themselves based on fake events.Skepticism and Methodology: The necessity of adopting a skeptical methodology, referred to as “informed disbelief,” to navigate the “closed informational system”. The aim is to approach events like anthropologists, judging performances rather than reacting to them emotionally, thereby avoiding weaponization in the psychological war.The Charlie Kirk Event: Detailed analysis of the alleged assassination attempt as a high-profile psyop, noting indications like the number 33 being associated with the time frame of its investigation. The event is framed as creating a “martyr” for the “woke right” that mirrors the martyrdom narrative of George Floyd for the woke left, complete with coinciding birth dates.SynopsisThe core of the discussion centers on the premise that global reality is an engineered construction, a “Truman Show” managed through pervasive psychological operations (psyops) and sophisticated media fakery. This engineered environment is described as the “PSYOP entertainment complex,” where government, media, entertainment, and religion function as a unified, centralized entity. The objective is total control and the consolidation of worldview, achieved by proactively scripting and simulating major historical events decades in advance, a process known as history bending.Political and media figures (such as Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Ben Shapiro) are considered manufactured characters or “clowns”. Their actions and the manufactured outrage they provoke are mechanisms of the political horseshoe and the left-right dialectic, which acts as a “steam valve” to distract the masses from recognizing the nature of the underlying ubiquitous world order. For examp

fWotD Episode 3117: Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 16 November 2025, is Black Widow (Natasha Romanova).Black Widow is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by editor Stan Lee, scripter Don Rico, and artist Don Heck, the character debuted as an enemy of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense #52 (1964). She reformed into a hero in The Avengers #30 (1966) and her most well-known design was introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #86 (1970). Black Widow has been the main character in several comic titles since 1970, receiving her own Black Widow series in 1999. She also frequently appears as a supporting character in The Avengers and Daredevil.Natalia Alianovna "Natasha Romanoff" Romanova (Russian: Наталья Альяновна "Наташа" Романова) is introduced as a spy for the Soviet Union until she defects to the United States. She subsequently joins the intelligence agency S. H. I. E. L. D., partners with Daredevil, and encounters a rival Black Widow in Yelena Belova. Though she has no distinct superpowers, she was augmented in the Red Room, a Soviet training facility, to increase her strength and reduce her aging. She has training in combat and espionage, and wields bracelets that fire electric shocks and project wires she uses to traverse skyscrapers.Black Widow stories often explore her struggle to define her own identity as a spy and the trauma she endured from her life of training in the Red Room. Early stories emphasized her Soviet origin, portraying her superiors as evil and contrasting her with more noble American superheroes. Black Widow's status as a leading female character and femme fatale has influenced her portrayal, which was often contradictory as comics grappled with the conflict between traditional gender roles and second-wave feminism. The character is heavily sexualized both by artists and by the characters with whom she interacts.Black Widow has been adapted into a variety of other media, including film, animated series, and video games. A version of the character was portrayed by Scarlett Johansson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe from her first appearance in Iron Man 2 (2010) to her final one in Black Widow (2021). Johansson's portrayal brought increased attention to the character and influenced Black Widow's depiction in comics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Sunday, 16 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Salli.

fWotD Episode 3116: Aston Martin DB11 Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 15 November 2025, is Aston Martin DB11.The Aston Martin DB11 is a two-door grand touring car. It was manufactured as both a coupe and a convertible, the latter known as the Volante. The British carmaker Aston Martin produced the DB11 from 2016 to 2023 when it was replaced by the DB12. The DB11 succeeded the DB9, which the company made between 2004 and 2016. Designed by Marek Reichman, who became lead designer in May 2005, the DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. The first model of Aston Martin's "second-century plan", the DB11—like its predecessor and its platform siblings—incorporates aluminium extensively throughout its body. Official manufacture of the DB11 began at the Aston Martin facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, in September 2016. Two engine configurations of the DB11 were available: a 4.0-litre V8-engine model produced by Mercedes-AMG and a 5.2-litre V12-engine model produced by Aston Martin. The Volante version of the DB11 was introduced in October 2017. In 2018, Aston Martin and its racing division replaced the DB11 V12 with the DB11 V12 AMR, which brought an increased engine output. The V8-powered model also received an enhancement in engine performance in 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Saturday, 15 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Aston Martin DB11 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

Whether it's Google News or Apple News or Wikipedia, too often the media outlets defined as "reliable sources" are the elitist liberal sources. People cruising their phones or digging into search engines are force-fed NPR, CNN, NBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times. Conservative sites are classified as unreliable. Wikipedia smeared NewsBusters as "unreliable."

On the life and character of Julius Agricola) is a book by the Roman historian Tacitus, written c 98, which recounts the life of his father-in-law Gnaeus Julius Agricola, an eminent Roman general. It also covers, briefly, the geography and ethnography of ancient Britain. As in the Germania, Tacitus favorably contrasts the liberty of the native Britons to the corruption and tyranny of the Empire; the book also contains eloquent and vicious polemics against the rapacity and greed of Rome. This translation by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb, was first published in 1877.
