- 1:10Speaker 4: the show.
- 1:12Speaker 5: And I don't know when you started listening or watching
- 1:14Speaker 5: to this series.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Who knows.
- 1:16Speaker 5: It depends if you got in early we were doing conspiracy.
- 1:19Speaker 5: If you got in recently, maybe we sucked you in
- 1:21Speaker 5: with like a normy, mainstream kind of documentary. We're going
- 1:24Speaker 5: back to the basics. We're going back to the classics,
- 1:27Speaker 5: to the things that we wanted to watch when we
- 1:30Speaker 5: first started conceptualizing this series. And I think that, man,
- 1:34Speaker 5: we've got to be closer to one hundred than we
- 1:36Speaker 5: are to fifty at this point. Well, all the episodes
- 1:38Speaker 5: are we recorded so far, so we're going to just
- 1:40Speaker 5: go completely deep.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Into the rabbit hole.
- 1:43Speaker 5: This is one that I'm pulling out of my personal
- 1:46Speaker 5: favorite archives. I would be shocked if most people have
- 1:50Speaker 5: heard of this person, and let alone if they've seen
- 1:53Speaker 5: this particular presentation. And I guess that when we talk
- 1:57Speaker 5: about conspiracy documentaries that were documentary, he's doing a little
- 2:01Speaker 5: bit of extra lifting because a lot of conspiracy videos
- 2:04Speaker 5: that I remember seeing in the nineties early two thousands,
- 2:08Speaker 5: they were kind of sometimes it would be a documentary,
- 2:11Speaker 5: but that was like the newer wave. Those were like
- 2:13Speaker 5: the college kids that just figured out how to use
- 2:15Speaker 5: Vegas pro or like final Cut on their laptop. But
- 2:18Speaker 5: anything before that was kind of like a PowerPoint presentation.
- 2:21Speaker 5: It was sort of a seven hundred club. It was
- 2:23Speaker 5: sort of like one of these a guy stands in
- 2:26Speaker 5: front of a podium for two hours and just talks
- 2:29Speaker 5: for two hours, like an old David Ike presentation. We're
- 2:33Speaker 5: going to get into those. This is one of those,
- 2:36Speaker 5: but it's a pretty good PowerPoint presentation. So it's called
- 2:40Speaker 5: and bear with me. This is a huge mouthful hidden persuaders.
- 2:45Speaker 5: The subversive use of sacred symbolism in the Media. And
- 2:48Speaker 5: this is a presentation that was given by a guy
- 2:51Speaker 5: named Michael Sarion. And Michael Sarion does a lot of
- 2:54Speaker 5: work in astro theology. He still has a really great
- 2:59Speaker 5: pot cast now. But I think in the late nineties
- 3:02Speaker 5: early two thousands he was starting to make the rounds.
- 3:05Speaker 5: He had a bunch of different DVD series. One of
- 3:08Speaker 5: them was called Oracles and Origins or The Origins of
- 3:12Speaker 5: the Oracles.
- 3:13Speaker 1: It was like an eight DVD series.
- 3:15Speaker 5: And he had another one that was The Subversive Use
- 3:17Speaker 5: of Sacred Symbolism in the Media, which was like an
- 3:21Speaker 5: eleven DVD series. We're talking a lot of time invested.
- 3:25Speaker 5: I actually ordered those and I watched them all multiple times.
- 3:29Speaker 5: But I would say that this condensed presentation is probably
- 3:34Speaker 5: the best introduction to his work, and I would recommend
- 3:37Speaker 5: watching this over watching the like eight to eleven DVD series.
- 3:42Speaker 5: This one he just puts it all into like one
- 3:44Speaker 5: really solid presentation, although it is dense. Man, This one
- 3:48Speaker 5: is like eating through like like ten protein bars. Like
- 3:52Speaker 5: after you get through like two and a half, you're like, Okay,
- 3:54Speaker 5: I'm full, and it's like, nah, you got to eat
- 3:56Speaker 5: these other like seven, right, So there's a little bit
- 3:58Speaker 5: of a feel to that.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Yeah, it might be heavy for some people, right, Like,
- 4:02Speaker 4: not everybody could get through this, because for every Money
- 4:05Speaker 4: Masters you had in the nineties, in early two thousands,
- 4:08Speaker 4: you had like fifty thousand of these. Because you got
- 4:11Speaker 4: to remember that this is almost like comedy. I know,
- 4:13Speaker 4: it's not funny, but they're honing in their games. So
- 4:16Speaker 4: when they're doing these presentations around the country, they're really
- 4:20Speaker 4: tightening up the game. And then I think this presentation, Now,
- 4:23Speaker 4: I wasn't familiar with most of his work. I was
- 4:25Speaker 4: familiar with people that influenced his work, but I was
- 4:29Speaker 4: not unfamiliar with him as much.
- 4:31Speaker 6: But you could tell that this presentation was honed in.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Like it's not like it wasn't the beginning of this, right,
- 4:36Speaker 4: and when he started he had this, but now he
- 4:39Speaker 4: was able to like crunch it down, which is a
- 4:41Speaker 4: gift and a skill to be able to crunch all
- 4:43Speaker 4: this information down into less than two hours.
- 4:55Speaker 5: So when we plot the course on this one, we're
- 4:57Speaker 5: kind of compressing something that's already been compressed. Right, So
- 5:01Speaker 5: this presentation by Michael Sarion, it's an hour and a
- 5:05Speaker 5: half two hour version of like a six to eight
- 5:08Speaker 5: hour presentation that he already had, and now we're going
- 5:11Speaker 5: to give a condensed review of his condensed version of
- 5:14Speaker 5: his own so that you can kind of see. It's
- 5:16Speaker 5: like a xerox of a xerox in a way. So
- 5:18Speaker 5: I do recommend at the very least that you do
- 5:20Speaker 5: watch this original presentation. You can find it on YouTube
- 5:23Speaker 5: and rundelan Bitch Shoot and Odyssey and all of the
- 5:25Speaker 5: weird places. Again, you just search for subversive use of
- 5:29Speaker 5: sacred symbolism in the media, you'll be able to find
- 5:32Speaker 5: the whole thing. Where did this come from, Well, it's
- 5:35Speaker 5: a speech from the two thousand and three conspiracy con
- 5:40Speaker 5: There used to be a legit conspiracy convention that would
- 5:43Speaker 5: happen on the West Coast every single year. We'll go
- 5:47Speaker 5: on this rabbit hole on like another episode maybe at
- 5:49Speaker 5: some point. But it's a wild story. Conspiracy con tried
- 5:54Speaker 5: to throw a conspiracy cruise and the guy that had
- 5:58Speaker 5: been running conspiracy con that tried to do conspiracy cruise
- 6:01Speaker 5: got like.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Swindled out of all of his money.
- 6:03Speaker 5: He basically met up with some you know, nonscrupulous people
- 6:08Speaker 5: on the internet that were like, yeah, send us the money,
- 6:10Speaker 5: we'll book the cruise, we'll get it all set up.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And he was just like sending it all overseas or something.
- 6:14Speaker 5: So that ended conspiracy cons if you haven't heard of
- 6:18Speaker 5: it before, that's what happened. I think this was in
- 6:20Speaker 5: like the mid two thousands. It'll never happen again, according
- 6:23Speaker 5: to that guy. And it's not really a big money maker,
- 6:27Speaker 5: I don't think.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 6:28Speaker 5: If you throw a conspiracy con, if like a bunch
- 6:30Speaker 5: of people show up, like show me where to buy
- 6:33Speaker 5: all the merch right, you get people a little bit
- 6:35Speaker 5: more protected. So it's it's an interesting crowd. It's an
- 6:38Speaker 5: interesting moment in time that will never happen again. And
- 6:41Speaker 5: he gets in front of this small room of people
- 6:44Speaker 5: at a typical convention and he explains that he started
- 6:48Speaker 5: doing a cult research or he calls it symbolic literacy,
- 6:53Speaker 5: which I love. We're going to talk about that a
- 6:55Speaker 5: few times, but that he got interested in when he
- 6:57Speaker 5: was thirteen in Ireland and once he came across the
- 7:01Speaker 5: work at Jordan Maxwell, which is a og legend Jordan,
- 7:06Speaker 5: that Jordan is the one that influenced him to like
- 7:09Speaker 5: really take this serious. And then the very opening slide
- 7:12Speaker 5: after he invokes the name of Jordan Maxwell, so I'm
- 7:14Speaker 5: already a little bit on board. Then he's like, and
- 7:17Speaker 5: here's the work of other people that he's kind of
- 7:20Speaker 5: leveraging his research on. He Mark mentions Marshall mclewin, Gene Ballard,
- 7:26Speaker 5: Brian Wilson, Keys Vance Packard, Jean Kilbourne, Douglas Rushkoff. All
- 7:31Speaker 5: these guys write about how the media and marketing agencies
- 7:36Speaker 5: use suggestive and subliminal messages in order to get you
- 7:40Speaker 5: to buy stuff, in order to get you to believe
- 7:42Speaker 5: things or have emotional reactions to movies and TV and
- 7:46Speaker 5: advertisement campaigns. So you can kind of see this is
- 7:49Speaker 5: the angle that it starts to go. He does a
- 7:51Speaker 5: great job of breaking this all down, and then he
- 7:53Speaker 5: starts making some very specific claims. So he poses this
- 7:58Speaker 5: as if he's presenting a theory, and here's his theory.
- 8:02Speaker 5: The theory is that the Western world as a whole
- 8:05Speaker 5: is symbol illiterate, and that this is done by design
- 8:09Speaker 5: because symbols are so incredibly important. And then he cites
- 8:12Speaker 5: the Bible, more specifically the Old Testament, that in the
- 8:16Speaker 5: Old Testament, this is where this Western culture started to
- 8:21Speaker 5: suppress human creativity and so that only a priest class
- 8:25Speaker 5: could have control.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Over your right brain of your mind.
- 8:28Speaker 5: And he mentions that even before thou Shalt not kill,
- 8:32Speaker 5: is thou shalt not make.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Yourself a graven image.
- 8:34Speaker 5: And the reason why that's listed higher is thou Shalt
- 8:37Speaker 5: not kill, is because they wanted to make sure people
- 8:40Speaker 5: couldn't make their own symbols and they couldn't make their
- 8:42Speaker 5: own artwork. It all had to be state sanctioned and
- 8:45Speaker 5: all had to come from people that basically were in power.
- 8:48Speaker 5: I think it's a very interesting concept, and the first
- 8:52Speaker 5: time that I heard that, I've never been able to
- 8:54Speaker 5: forget that, like why is thou shalt not kill the
- 8:56Speaker 5: first one?
- 8:57Speaker 1: You know?
- 8:58Speaker 5: Why are there other ones behind? And I've gone down
- 9:01Speaker 5: rabbit holes on that and had interesting conversations. But I
- 9:03Speaker 5: think it originated that seed got planted by Michael Sarion
- 9:07Speaker 5: in this talk.
- 9:08Speaker 4: And he got me right away too, because I now,
- 9:11Speaker 4: again maybe not everybody, this is not everybody's cup of tea,
- 9:15Speaker 4: but for me right away, I love how he gave
- 9:18Speaker 4: everybody shout outs, like he didn't say like he was
- 9:20Speaker 4: not stealing any work.
- 9:21Speaker 6: He's saying, hey, I'm building a pond. These guys work.
- 9:24Speaker 4: And then right away he's like, yeah, subliminal messaging in
- 9:26Speaker 4: the media, and I'm like, got me, You got me
- 9:28Speaker 4: right where I want to be. I mean, it's like
- 9:30Speaker 4: pretty much getting into the Edward Burnees propaganda, but on
- 9:33Speaker 4: a different level because now he's involving television. You know,
- 9:37Speaker 4: obviously this predates a lot of the Internet stuff, but
- 9:40Speaker 4: I think this is a perfect place to start where
- 9:44Speaker 4: we're trying to go. And one of the other claims
- 9:45Speaker 4: he makes with that I thought was interesting in this
- 9:47Speaker 4: first segment is when he starts talking about the Bible
- 9:51Speaker 4: and he's talking about the Old Testament and the Torah
- 9:54Speaker 4: being like the Old Testament, and then the Torah and
- 9:57Speaker 4: the Tarot cards and Tarot being the same thing.
- 10:01Speaker 6: And then he now, maybe other people.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Because I was watching it with my girlfriend, she's not
- 10:06Speaker 4: as conspiratorial minded as me. And plus it's a lecture,
- 10:09Speaker 4: so if you're not into the subject, you know, she's
- 10:12Speaker 4: tuning out and she's like, oh yeah, and I'm like, I.
- 10:14Speaker 6: See it perfectly.
- 10:15Speaker 4: And then he starts going in to the examples, and
- 10:18Speaker 4: I mean, he got me already hooked line and sinker
- 10:22Speaker 4: right off the bat.
- 10:23Speaker 5: It's it's a topic that we're already like sympathetic to, right,
- 10:28Speaker 5: so it's already kind of got our bias. Now, let
- 10:30Speaker 5: me just say, because you mentioned he talks about the
- 10:33Speaker 5: Old Testament was based on the Torah, and then he
- 10:35Speaker 5: says the Torah is based on the Taro and that
- 10:38Speaker 5: the words sound the same because they're basically the same thing.
- 10:42Speaker 5: You'll see that this is definitely his Jordan Maxwell influence
- 10:46Speaker 5: coming out. Or oh, this word sounds like that word,
- 10:49Speaker 5: they're the same word. That's kind of of largest of that. Now,
- 10:53Speaker 5: let me just put in my Rockefeller plant. I have
- 10:56Speaker 5: to otherwise they kick me out of the Masons if
- 10:59Speaker 5: I don't always do this. So technically, on paper and
- 11:04Speaker 5: conventional knowledge is that the Taro came out of maybe
- 11:07Speaker 5: the fifteen hundreds on the earlier and maybe if you
- 11:10Speaker 5: want to stretch it to like the fourteen hundreds. But
- 11:13Speaker 5: there's really no concrete or specific evidence provided in this
- 11:18Speaker 5: talk that the Taro predated the Torah. If anything, it
- 11:22Speaker 5: seems that the Torah would have come first and then
- 11:25Speaker 5: the Taro was like a medieval version that gentiles or
- 11:30Speaker 5: non Jews could kind of do the same thing. But
- 11:33Speaker 5: in like a way and turn it into a game
- 11:35Speaker 5: and turn it into like entertainment.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 11:37Speaker 5: I don't know what the ultimate truth is on this.
- 11:39Speaker 5: But if you look deeper into hey was the torah
- 11:45Speaker 5: based on the taro, it's very hard to find supporting
- 11:48Speaker 5: evidence of that claim. So, okay, Mason's don't kick me out.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I did. I did the thing that you told me
- 11:53Speaker 1: that I had to do.
- 11:54Speaker 6: He's good. He's good now.
- 11:56Speaker 5: So then he he's starting to go like into the
- 12:00Speaker 5: past and he makes a really good claim.
- 12:02Speaker 1: This one does check out.
- 12:03Speaker 5: That was the only one that I was like, let
- 12:04Speaker 5: me just contact the brothers and see what they want
- 12:07Speaker 5: me to say about this one. But he also talks
- 12:10Speaker 5: about how Plato in three hundred BC that was actually
- 12:14Speaker 5: older than that, it was like three hundred and eighty
- 12:16Speaker 5: five BC, but that Plato again before Christ, that he
- 12:21Speaker 5: was writing that if you give artists too much dominion
- 12:24Speaker 5: over the mind, that they will cause a decline in society,
- 12:28Speaker 5: and that it's this it's like an interesting tightrope to
- 12:33Speaker 5: walk because Michael Sarian does a great job of being like, yeah,
- 12:37Speaker 5: there's these techniques that can be used to manipulate but
- 12:40Speaker 5: it could be used for good or bad. The fact
- 12:42Speaker 5: that someone is doing manipulation doesn't necessarily always infer that
- 12:47Speaker 5: they're like the good guys are the bad guys. So
- 12:50Speaker 5: he's talking about Plato like Plato again, not making a
- 12:54Speaker 5: moral a good guy or a bad guy, but he said,
- 12:56Speaker 5: like Plato realized that if artists get people so infatuated
- 13:02Speaker 5: with like these fantasies and like non reality, that over
- 13:06Speaker 5: time people will become disillusioned with actual reality because all
- 13:11Speaker 5: of their frames of reference and all their expectations are
- 13:13Speaker 5: based on fiction and things that aren't real. So then
- 13:16Speaker 5: they start losing interest in the actual, physical, real like
- 13:20Speaker 5: objective world around them.
- 13:22Speaker 1: They start obsessing over these ideals.
- 13:25Speaker 5: And I think it's an interesting he doesn't bake on
- 13:27Speaker 5: that too much, because again there's a lot more than
- 13:29Speaker 5: he gets through. I thought that was a very solid,
- 13:32Speaker 5: like Dan, that is a good point. Plato was like, hey,
- 13:35Speaker 5: don't give marketing exect. Don't let your kids watch cartoons
- 13:38Speaker 5: all day and commercials, because that'll cause society collapse. It's
- 13:42Speaker 5: sort of the connection that he's making from three hundred
- 13:45Speaker 5: BC to like the nineteen nineties when this happened two
- 13:47Speaker 5: thousand and three is when he gave his presentation, and when.
- 13:50Speaker 4: He started this presentation as well, he said, we will
- 13:53Speaker 4: not be able to get into everything, or this would
- 13:56Speaker 4: take a week.
- 13:57Speaker 1: He didn't say that he's not kidding.
- 13:59Speaker 6: Yeah, he's not kidding.
- 14:00Speaker 4: There's so much information, But I do like what you
- 14:03Speaker 4: said that he brings back the history of like, hey,
- 14:05Speaker 4: if you let somebody else entertain your child or give
- 14:09Speaker 4: thoughts to your child with a predominant of their day,
- 14:13Speaker 4: Like if it's twelve to eighteen hours a day, whether
- 14:15Speaker 4: it's a TV or an iPad, they're probably going to
- 14:18Speaker 4: get these their own thoughts going from what they want.
- 14:21Speaker 6: It's not going to be the same morals and the
- 14:23Speaker 6: values that you have.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Because people have argued to me too that like, well,
- 14:26Speaker 4: when you're teaching kids, you're kind of propagandizing them as well,
- 14:30Speaker 4: because you're forcing them to adapt to your moral compass
- 14:33Speaker 4: and your ideas of the world.
- 14:35Speaker 6: So I'm like, I guess, yeah, you're right.
- 14:37Speaker 4: So basically it would be you would rather propagandize your
- 14:40Speaker 4: children or somebody else will.
- 14:43Speaker 5: There was also I feel like I caught a stray
- 14:46Speaker 5: from Sarah on as he's doing this talk, and I
- 14:48Speaker 5: remember catching the same stray fifteen twenty years ago when
- 14:53Speaker 5: I saw this for the first time, and he was like,
- 14:56Speaker 5: you know what else they like to do?
- 14:57Speaker 1: They like to do this word play.
- 14:59Speaker 5: And again here's Jordan Well coming out and there's a
- 15:01Speaker 5: little bit NLP, although he doesn't mention NLP by name,
- 15:04Speaker 5: and he's like, you know, you know kids are watching
- 15:06Speaker 5: these days MTV. Say it with me over and over again, MTV, MTV,
- 15:12Speaker 5: MT mt TV. And you know, if you see these
- 15:16Speaker 5: kids watching MTV, they're pretty empty inside, aren't they. And
- 15:19Speaker 5: I remember now hearing it, and when I first heard
- 15:23Speaker 5: I was like.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Wait a minute.
- 15:24Speaker 5: I was like, I grew up watching MTV NonStop. Are
- 15:28Speaker 5: you saying that I'm empty inside? Maybe maybe I am,
- 15:32Speaker 5: but I just it was funny because this is I
- 15:35Speaker 5: think at this point, he's got to be in his
- 15:36Speaker 5: late thirties maybe early forties when he's given this talk
- 15:39Speaker 5: in two thousand and three, so he's already like boomer,
- 15:42Speaker 5: like he's like, oh, these kids are MTV. They're ruining
- 15:46Speaker 5: you know, culture and societies. You catch a little bit
- 15:49Speaker 5: of a straight from that. But I just took me
- 15:51Speaker 5: back to when I first saw it.
- 15:53Speaker 6: Say to me because I didn't see it back then.
- 15:56Speaker 4: But when he's saying that because I got me in
- 15:58Speaker 4: the stop process where people lose within generations of their like, oh, well,
- 16:04Speaker 4: I don't understand this, so it has to be bad.
- 16:06Speaker 4: And yes, there may be bad aspects of some of this,
- 16:08Speaker 4: but I think if you have a good structure and
- 16:10Speaker 4: a foundation, Because I too was watching MTV, and I mean,
- 16:14Speaker 4: I question everything I'm looking into.
- 16:16Speaker 6: I mean, we're listening to his presentation, but I.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Think that they generalize a lot in these aspects.
- 16:22Speaker 5: Right when when he's criticizing kids watching MTV, I'm like, bro,
- 16:26Speaker 5: I'm thinking about Beastie Boys.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Sabotage right now. I like that that helped me. It
- 16:30Speaker 1: didn't hurt me.
- 16:31Speaker 5: That wasn't like go out and buy the new he Man,
- 16:33Speaker 5: although that one worked on me too. And then he
- 16:36Speaker 5: talks about so he's expanding on this theory that's coming together,
- 16:40Speaker 5: and then he makes a claim that you've got body, mind,
- 16:43Speaker 5: and heart, And now I'm like, now I'm thinking Captain Planet.
- 16:46Speaker 5: But he said that your body has its own intelligence,
- 16:50Speaker 5: your mind has its own intelligence, and your heart has
- 16:53Speaker 5: its own intelligence, and that these that they in quotes
- 16:57Speaker 5: they know about this, and that they are sending encoded
- 17:01Speaker 5: messages to each of those brains in your body so
- 17:04Speaker 5: that they can tell your body want want want, or
- 17:08Speaker 5: you can your mind something or your heart something. And
- 17:11Speaker 5: then you starts showing examples of this, which I do
- 17:13Speaker 5: think are interesting. So one of them is an AD
- 17:16Speaker 5: that just says I want want want want want, like
- 17:18Speaker 5: that's that's the advertisement, and then it has the logo
- 17:21Speaker 5: for the brand. And then there's another one that just
- 17:23Speaker 5: has drive equals love. And he's pointing out how just
- 17:28Speaker 5: making these statements has this subliminal effect on you. Now
- 17:31Speaker 5: your brain is imprinted with drive equal love. Now maybe
- 17:34Speaker 5: I drive more, and now maybe I'll buy a car.
- 17:37Speaker 5: Now maybe I buy car mats for my car or something.
- 17:40Speaker 5: But it's encouraging consumerism in an industry that was created
- 17:45Speaker 5: by an AD agency to do that thing. So now
- 17:48Speaker 5: it's having this real effect. And again he's saying that,
- 17:51Speaker 5: like these messages are made to go beyond just your
- 17:55Speaker 5: normal logic processing and to go directly to like a
- 17:58Speaker 5: deeper subliminal version to you, and that it's all being
- 18:01Speaker 5: done to manipulate.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
- 18:03Speaker 5: If I'm surprised that, Yeah, advertisements are meant to manipulate you.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Of course they are.
- 18:08Speaker 4: I mean, especially when you get into Edward burnet Is
- 18:10Speaker 4: in general, you're like, yeah, that's like how marketing was
- 18:12Speaker 4: created to manipulate you into getting stuff you don't need.
- 18:17Speaker 5: So then he starts going into how how marketers and
- 18:22Speaker 5: graphic designers are essentially the new priest class. That in
- 18:26Speaker 5: old times, the priest class that if two countries were
- 18:31Speaker 5: going to go to war, if there's going to be
- 18:32Speaker 5: like a huge war in a region, then the leaders
- 18:35Speaker 5: of those countries or those tribes, whatever, they would go
- 18:39Speaker 5: to the shaman and they would ask the shaman to
- 18:42Speaker 5: give them blessings from God so that their war.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Would be victorious.
- 18:47Speaker 5: He's basically saying, if you just jump to the twenty
- 18:50Speaker 5: first century, the version of that now is a corporation
- 18:54Speaker 5: goes to an ad agency to conduct war on like
- 18:58Speaker 5: its consumers or basically warring against its competition in the marketplace,
- 19:04Speaker 5: but that this exact same dynamic is happening, or the
- 19:07Speaker 5: government or the military whoever, they hire an ad agency
- 19:10Speaker 5: to sway public opinions so that whatever endeavor that they're
- 19:14Speaker 5: going after can be victorious. And that this is the
- 19:18Speaker 5: closest version of a warmonger going to a shaman that
- 19:22Speaker 5: we have in the twenty first century. I thought that
- 19:24Speaker 5: was fascinating, the way that he makes that direct connection,
- 19:27Speaker 5: and that's essentially his main thesis, I believe.
- 19:30Speaker 4: Yeah, and you could see it and it again, these
- 19:32Speaker 4: are things that are you're a preaching to the choir, right,
- 19:35Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, damn right, damn right, they're shamans. But
- 19:39Speaker 4: we got pyanoive American over here just trying to film
- 19:42Speaker 4: me with this occult stuff and get his macing guys
- 19:45Speaker 4: up all that, you know what I mean.
- 19:45Speaker 6: I could see these graphic designers in their priesthoods. Man,
- 19:48Speaker 6: I see what you're doing.
- 19:50Speaker 5: So normally I would start going through all the rest
- 19:54Speaker 5: of this, but I feel like every other claim that
- 19:56Speaker 5: he makes in this presentation is either going to fall
- 19:59Speaker 5: under a hitidden treasure or an overboard claim. So let's
- 20:03Speaker 5: just get into that segment hidden treasures overboard moments. And
- 20:16Speaker 5: speaking of if you're looking for hidden treasures, you should
- 20:19Speaker 5: should go and check out Killdemockenberg dot com with Sean Chris,
- 20:22Speaker 5: all the other podcasts and content that he's got there,
- 20:25Speaker 5: and should go to Paranoid American dot com and Grab
- 20:28Speaker 5: Yourself the comic book that was directly inspired. There is
- 20:32Speaker 5: one hundred percent true that I don't think I ever
- 20:34Speaker 5: would have started Paranoid American or written my first comic
- 20:37Speaker 5: book if it hadn't at least in part been inspired
- 20:40Speaker 5: by this. Michael Sarion two thousand and three talk because
- 20:44Speaker 5: he makes this claim in here, and this is probably
- 20:47Speaker 5: my biggest hidden treasure, but he kind of makes this
- 20:49Speaker 5: claim of like, yes, medium manipulation exists. Yes you can
- 20:53Speaker 5: use these symbols to manipulate, but you can do it
- 20:56Speaker 5: for like good reasons. You can do it for reasons
- 20:59Speaker 5: other than go by this car, go to war, hate
- 21:01Speaker 5: this person. You can use subliminal messages and symbolism to
- 21:06Speaker 5: get people to care more about these things and to encourage. Again,
- 21:10Speaker 5: what he claims is a symbol literacy, so that it's
- 21:15Speaker 5: like it's its own language, and that people if you
- 21:17Speaker 5: don't understand how to read symbols, then you're living your
- 21:20Speaker 5: entire life like not knowing how to read signs, not
- 21:23Speaker 5: knowing how to read or write your own name.
- 21:25Speaker 1: It's just a separate angle of that.
- 21:28Speaker 5: So I guess I'll lead that that's my biggest hidden
- 21:31Speaker 5: treasure is this concept of you don't have to think
- 21:33Speaker 5: you're in occultest, you don't have to think you're doing
- 21:36Speaker 5: some kind of conspiracy research.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Just becomes symbol literate. Is that easy?
- 21:40Speaker 4: And I think that is the biggest hidden treasure because
- 21:44Speaker 4: nowadays it gets back to that satanic panic stuff and
- 21:48Speaker 4: they're like, if this symbol's there, then you're the bad guy,
- 21:51Speaker 4: right Like if you have this symbol anywhere, Like people
- 21:54Speaker 4: are probably going through our videos right now like, oh, yep,
- 21:57Speaker 4: you see that that white and black hat and he's
- 21:59Speaker 4: got the yeah, you know, he's covering an eye. And
- 22:02Speaker 4: I think that people are not fully illiterate to the
- 22:06Speaker 4: symbolism that they think, ah, this equals evil, which does
- 22:10Speaker 4: not necessarily mean that it means that, hey, I'm trying
- 22:13Speaker 4: to persuade you. Because there is group think, right there
- 22:17Speaker 4: is this idea that people don't just not everybody's like
- 22:21Speaker 4: me and you and skeptical and trying to think of like, hey,
- 22:23Speaker 4: maybe this could be this. A lot of people need
- 22:26Speaker 4: something to kind of push them in the in the
- 22:28Speaker 4: direction need them to go, and it's either going to
- 22:29Speaker 4: be a bad way or a good way. And why
- 22:31Speaker 4: not educate people on the symbols instead of just saying, oh,
- 22:35Speaker 4: that's Satan, don't look at it, don't even think about it,
- 22:39Speaker 4: that's the devil, Ricky Bobby.
- 22:44Speaker 5: And to be fair, I don't know if in this presentation,
- 22:49Speaker 5: if Michael Sarion comes across as one hundred percent consistent
- 22:53Speaker 5: in this, because then in the next statement he'll be like,
- 22:56Speaker 5: and look at this, there's a thirty three on this, not.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Just the Measons.
- 22:59Speaker 5: And then and then like five minutes later he'd be like,
- 23:02Speaker 5: but the Masons used to be good guys. And it's like,
- 23:04Speaker 5: but now maybe they're bad guys. So it jumps around
- 23:07Speaker 5: a little bit. Well again, we're hidden treasures overboard moments.
- 23:10Speaker 5: So here my hidden treasures are some of the most
- 23:13Speaker 5: specific claims that I remember when I first saw this,
- 23:16Speaker 5: and I see it again, it's still like, damn, that's
- 23:18Speaker 5: that's such a cool observation. Like all these I think
- 23:23Speaker 5: are true, but it could be anything, right. Some of it,
- 23:25Speaker 5: just trust me, bro. Some of it is just like
- 23:28Speaker 5: laying shapes on top of other shapes. The first big
- 23:32Speaker 5: example is if you draw a hexagram the star of David,
- 23:37Speaker 5: the seal of Solomon on the Great seal on the
- 23:41Speaker 5: back of a dollar bill. Just draw like a triangle
- 23:44Speaker 5: around the pyramid and then an inverted triangle to make
- 23:47Speaker 5: a perfect hexagram. It does highlight the letters M ASO N.
- 23:52Speaker 5: It spells out Mason. That blew my mind the first
- 23:55Speaker 5: time that I saw that. I don't know if it
- 23:57Speaker 5: was from this documentary from Sarahana.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I think it might have been a little bit earlier
- 24:01Speaker 1: than that.
- 24:01Speaker 5: But the first time I saw that, I was like, Okay, this,
- 24:05Speaker 5: this feels like way too coincidental to just be like, oh,
- 24:08Speaker 5: what a crazy thing. Right then he starts talking about
- 24:13Speaker 5: these Disney marketing exec quotes, and if you look at
- 24:16Speaker 5: the screen, it doesn't have a person's name. It literally
- 24:19Speaker 5: just says Disney Marketing executive. So it's on the level
- 24:22Speaker 5: of just trust me, bro, like I saw this, I
- 24:24Speaker 5: heard this. I think that he's pulling some of these
- 24:27Speaker 5: and a Disney quote from later on in the presentation.
- 24:30Speaker 1: I think he's pulling it.
- 24:31Speaker 5: From one of Eisner's biographies or like one of these
- 24:34Speaker 5: expose a's of someone that worked in Disney. But he
- 24:38Speaker 5: has this quote, and it's the quote is kids love advertising.
- 24:42Speaker 1: It's a gift.
- 24:43Speaker 5: It's something they want and then he says, and boys,
- 24:46Speaker 5: advertising that encourages anti social behavior in pursuit of a
- 24:52Speaker 5: product is a good thing. And I and it just
- 24:54Speaker 5: took me back because when I saw this for the
- 24:57Speaker 5: first time, I had just started working at Disney. It
- 25:00Speaker 5: was like two thousand and three or two thousand and four,
- 25:03Speaker 5: and I had gone to one of these like Disney
- 25:05Speaker 5: marketing exec like sort of like huge meetings, were like
- 25:09Speaker 5: one hundred of people there, and I got to ask
- 25:11Speaker 5: a question, and look, the question I asked was basically,
- 25:15Speaker 5: we had these laws that were being an act in
- 25:17Speaker 5: the early two thousands where you weren't allowed to ask
- 25:19Speaker 5: kids on a website any kind of personal identifying information.
- 25:23Speaker 5: It was like it's some kind of a KOPA Child
- 25:25Speaker 5: Online Privacy Act, and it was related to I think
- 25:28Speaker 5: like Club Penguin.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Disney was trying to buy Club Penguin, if you ever
- 25:31Speaker 1: heard of that.
- 25:32Speaker 5: But so I basically asked, I was like, well, if
- 25:36Speaker 5: you don't ask them what like their favorite color is,
- 25:38Speaker 5: and what their favorite song is, and like how old
- 25:40Speaker 5: they are. If you don't ask them these things, how
- 25:42Speaker 5: are you planning to do all of this targeted advertisement?
- 25:46Speaker 5: And he was like, well, Here's the thing is that
- 25:48Speaker 5: we're not allowed to ask them that. So because of
- 25:51Speaker 5: the privacy laws, you can't when a kid signs up
- 25:54Speaker 5: for a site, you can't say, like how old are you?
- 25:56Speaker 5: You can't say what's your favorite color, but you can
- 25:58Speaker 5: give them the option to set their favorite color once
- 26:01Speaker 5: they're logged in. You can give them the option to say,
- 26:03Speaker 5: like what their favorite food is and all this stuff.
- 26:06Speaker 5: So his answer was like, we don't even have to
- 26:08Speaker 5: ask anymore. These aren't in eighties and nineties kids. These
- 26:11Speaker 5: new kids that were being born in the mid nineties
- 26:14Speaker 5: of the early two thousands, that they're bending over backwards
- 26:17Speaker 5: to tell us everything about themselves, Like they want to
- 26:20Speaker 5: give the computer and the website all the information about
- 26:23Speaker 5: themselves that they can, and that previous generations that they
- 26:27Speaker 5: were kind of taught to like not like don't put
- 26:29Speaker 5: your real name online, don't put your phone number online,
- 26:31Speaker 5: do do any of this, and that.
- 26:33Speaker 1: The young kids were just like where do I put
- 26:34Speaker 1: my phone number? You know what I mean?
- 26:35Speaker 5: So I remember that, and when I saw this it
- 26:39Speaker 5: made me think of that meeting. I was like, Dan,
- 26:41Speaker 5: these guys do know, Like this is how kids think,
- 26:44Speaker 5: and they're reacting to how they know kids are already acting,
- 26:48Speaker 5: not the way that I would think that a kid
- 26:50Speaker 5: would act, because at that point I was already in
- 26:52Speaker 5: my twenties.
- 26:53Speaker 4: And that's funny you say that, because there was a
- 26:55Speaker 4: trend I think it was like ten years ago or
- 26:56Speaker 4: maybe a little bit longer that was on Facebook for
- 26:59Speaker 4: a little bit and was like what was your first school?
- 27:03Speaker 4: What was your pet's name? Like all these questions that
- 27:06Speaker 4: you have, like for your your secure double security on
- 27:09Speaker 4: like your bank accounts and stuff like that, like things,
- 27:12Speaker 4: and people were like, oh, my friend, they were filling
- 27:14Speaker 4: it out, and I'm like, dang man.
- 27:16Speaker 6: People are very gullible.
- 27:17Speaker 4: But it's kind of those people in that same generation
- 27:20Speaker 4: that you're talking about, that younger millennial slash gen zor
- 27:25Speaker 4: that they were like, Yeah, my cat's name was such
- 27:27Speaker 4: and such and and and then you're like, dude, that's
- 27:30Speaker 4: your secret code. Man.
- 27:31Speaker 6: Now everybody has your information, but they were willing to
- 27:34Speaker 6: give it up.
- 27:35Speaker 5: It's like, do you want to know what secret Game
- 27:37Speaker 5: of Thrones character you are? Well, Enter your mother's made
- 27:41Speaker 5: a name, Enter the first naked model of your first car,
- 27:44Speaker 5: and then the last four of your social and that's
- 27:46Speaker 5: your Game of Thrones, you know.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Character.
- 27:49Speaker 5: It's like, that's kind of how the angle that it
- 27:51Speaker 5: goes in. Now, so he goes back into talking about
- 27:56Speaker 5: how these ancient rulers would consult with these magicians, and
- 28:00Speaker 5: now he gives them a name, and he said it
- 28:02Speaker 5: we're the Meds, and that he links the meeds to
- 28:05Speaker 5: the word media, which again it gets a little it
- 28:07Speaker 5: gets a little murky, but this is classic Jordan Maxwell
- 28:11Speaker 5: etymology connections. You kind of have to just accept it
- 28:14Speaker 5: if you know what Jordan Maxwell that you're getting into.
- 28:17Speaker 5: And he talked about how the meds specialized in talismans
- 28:21Speaker 5: and sorcery and symbols, and that these are the guys
- 28:24Speaker 5: that you would go to hire if you were going
- 28:26Speaker 5: to go to war. And then he says that in
- 28:29Speaker 5: addition to the marketing and the graphic designers that he
- 28:32Speaker 5: was making that connection to, he said that the other
- 28:35Speaker 5: version of these new meds are like the techno Shamans,
- 28:38Speaker 5: that they're basically doing the same thing, but now they're
- 28:40Speaker 5: doing it in Silicon Valley. So it's Silicon Valley and
- 28:45Speaker 5: ad marketing campaigns. And then he's like, and let's see
- 28:48Speaker 5: what these ad and marketing campaigns are doing. And then
- 28:51Speaker 5: he just has like example after example of corporate logos
- 28:55Speaker 5: and advertisements from magazines and billboards. And so here's where
- 29:00Speaker 5: we're going to get into my overboard moments. I'll give
- 29:02Speaker 5: you some of the hidden treasures, like some of the
- 29:05Speaker 5: favorite ones that came up. So he shows the double
- 29:07Speaker 5: triangle of Scientology, and this is one of the stretches,
- 29:11Speaker 5: but I'm like, okay, it's still an interesting concept that
- 29:13Speaker 5: the triangle because the Scientology symbol are two interlocking triangles
- 29:18Speaker 5: with an S that goes through both of them.
- 29:20Speaker 1: And he's like, well, a triangle.
- 29:21Speaker 5: Has three sides, and you've got two triangles, so that's
- 29:25Speaker 5: thirty three and thirty three is linked to Scottish ripe freemasonry.
- 29:30Speaker 5: And then you've got the S that goes through it,
- 29:32Speaker 5: and the S kind of looks like a snake or
- 29:33Speaker 5: a serpent. And here's a picture of the dollar sign
- 29:37Speaker 5: that has an S with the two lines, but those
- 29:40Speaker 5: two lines are actually eyes that spells ISIS. So now
- 29:43Speaker 5: you've got a connection between Scientology, isis thirty third degree
- 29:48Speaker 5: free masonry. Like you can start to see where I
- 29:51Speaker 5: usually call this the Grand Unification Conspiracy theory where you're
- 29:55Speaker 5: like everything's connected to everything man, that triangle and that
- 29:58Speaker 5: car and that bird, like it's all connected somehow. It
- 30:02Speaker 5: starts going down that angle. But I think that the
- 30:04Speaker 5: way that he does it is interesting. And then he
- 30:06Speaker 5: and the other main thing that he does is he
- 30:08Speaker 5: goes through these slides, is he's showing how certain ad
- 30:13Speaker 5: campaigns and certain logos they all follow astrological symbolism to
- 30:18Speaker 5: the tea. And the one that he makes the best
- 30:20Speaker 5: case for, I think is the eagle. And he starts
- 30:23Speaker 5: showing like, why does the Vatican use the eagle, and
- 30:26Speaker 5: the Nazis and the Romans and now the American bald eagle,
- 30:30Speaker 5: it's supposed to be the eagle. Well, it not has
- 30:32Speaker 5: nothing to do with the eagle. It's because eagle used
- 30:34Speaker 5: to represent Scorpio, and that the sign of Scorpio is
- 30:38Speaker 5: represented by power and money.
- 30:40Speaker 1: That that's what motivates scorpios.
- 30:41Speaker 5: So that by having an empire defined by a symbol,
- 30:45Speaker 5: and that symbol itself represents power and money. That this
- 30:49Speaker 5: is why the Western world has been not allowing you
- 30:53Speaker 5: to make graven images. And this is why at like
- 30:55Speaker 5: all of your creative thought has been suppressed is because
- 30:58Speaker 5: we're being ruled by some kind of scorpio power that's
- 31:01Speaker 5: focused on power and money and nothing else.
- 31:04Speaker 4: I also liked how he one of the hidden treasures
- 31:07Speaker 4: for me was the Ysop and Pike stuff because granted
- 31:12Speaker 4: a lot of people talk about it now, but I
- 31:14Speaker 4: like how he kind of doesn't necessarily paint them as
- 31:17Speaker 4: like good or bad, like right, it's he does dance back.
- 31:20Speaker 6: And forth like they're pretty. They didn't mean to be bad,
- 31:22Speaker 6: but maybe they were.
- 31:23Speaker 4: But like, but before this, I don't think it was
- 31:28Speaker 4: out there as much.
- 31:29Speaker 6: I'm sure there was books.
- 31:30Speaker 4: I know there was, like Jordan Maxwell, but this is
- 31:32Speaker 4: like almost the catalyst to.
- 31:35Speaker 6: The new frame of mind for the conspiracy world.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Like even but it's not an overboard moment. It's like
- 31:43Speaker 4: great that it's ripples and like giving these waves to
- 31:45Speaker 4: people that they're now getting inspired by it.
- 31:48Speaker 6: But also a lot of people are using it wrong.
- 31:50Speaker 4: Right. You hear people talking about the Illuminati and the Freemasons,
- 31:54Speaker 4: and the way they talk about it, it's only in
- 31:56Speaker 4: a negative tone, like I had esoteric a long time
- 32:00Speaker 4: ago and killed the moncking birds. And he talks about
- 32:03Speaker 4: the origins of the Illuminati, and when we're talking about it,
- 32:06Speaker 4: he's talking about the Illuminati was basically founded to fight
- 32:10Speaker 4: the Jesuits.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Right there.
- 32:11Speaker 4: They was founded in the bars like hey, we're under
- 32:13Speaker 4: this iron fist of the Jesuits.
- 32:16Speaker 6: We're tired of it.
- 32:17Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, that's probably how most things are
- 32:19Speaker 4: started now, is it cannot be corrupted over time? Sure,
- 32:23Speaker 4: but when you hear the modern conspiracy theorists, they're more.
- 32:27Speaker 6: Like, oh bad, Like they don't have that context.
- 32:29Speaker 4: And I think that's why this whole discussion is important
- 32:34Speaker 4: and is a hidden treasure, because then people can actually
- 32:37Speaker 4: go through somebody that's giving you the whole context of everything,
- 32:41Speaker 4: not just like.
- 32:41Speaker 6: Yeah he's bad, bro. Freemasons no good.
- 32:44Speaker 5: He talks about how maybe the Illuminati was bad, but
- 32:49Speaker 5: also that all of the founding fathers were Freemasons, but
- 32:52Speaker 5: they were good.
- 32:53Speaker 1: They were the good Freemasons before it got bad.
- 32:55Speaker 5: He doesn't say that specifically, that's kind of the intent
- 32:58Speaker 5: that like, well, it's some points in history there were
- 33:01Speaker 5: secret sieties that were working for good and then they
- 33:04Speaker 5: turned bad. And he doesn't necessarily fall And the example
- 33:08Speaker 5: that you gave is actually it was triggering for me.
- 33:12Speaker 5: And again the Mason's told me that I had to
- 33:14Speaker 5: say this, so let me just get this off my chest,
- 33:16Speaker 5: but that this connection between Adam Weissop and Giuseppe Mazzini
- 33:21Speaker 5: and Albert Pike is something that comes up so often
- 33:25Speaker 5: even in the twenty first century. Now in twenty twenty six,
- 33:28Speaker 5: I guarantee you someone both posted it today on Twitter
- 33:32Speaker 5: or on TikTok or something, and it's about this letter
- 33:35Speaker 5: from Mazzini to Albert Pike talking about their planning World
- 33:38Speaker 5: War three. And this has been set in motion in
- 33:40Speaker 5: the late seventeen hundreds and all of the I mean
- 33:44Speaker 5: when I first heard this claim, this is before I
- 33:48Speaker 5: legitimately did become a Mason, and I was like, man,
- 33:52Speaker 5: this is such a smoking gun kind of thing. And
- 33:54Speaker 5: I've I've spent decades looking into this specific claim vice
- 33:59Speaker 5: Op to Mazine, need to Pike, and as far as
- 34:01Speaker 5: I can tell, it is a one hundred percent fabricated It
- 34:04Speaker 5: is a result of a guy named Leo Taxil who
- 34:08Speaker 5: in the late eighteen hundreds, one hundred years after the
- 34:11Speaker 5: Bavarian Luminati. He basically was an atheist, satirical, anti religious
- 34:17Speaker 5: author and he got this play. He was an ultimate
- 34:22Speaker 5: like internet troll before Internet existed, and he was like,
- 34:25Speaker 5: I can pit Masons against the Vatican and make the
- 34:30Speaker 5: Catholics and the Masons duke it out in public and
- 34:33Speaker 5: they'll just look like idiots. Because it was all based
- 34:35Speaker 5: on some thing that he made up. So that was
- 34:39Speaker 5: called The Mysteries of Freemasonry. He released it in France
- 34:42Speaker 5: in the late eighteen hundreds and that did end up
- 34:45Speaker 5: causing the Vatican to denounce the Freemasons, and it caused
- 34:49Speaker 5: all sorts of turmoil, and Freemasons had to leave the church,
- 34:52Speaker 5: or if you were in the church, you had to
- 34:53Speaker 5: leave the Freemasons. And then the Vatican finally asked Leo Taxil, like, hey,
- 34:58Speaker 5: show us the proof your witness to the Vaticans so
- 35:01Speaker 5: we can talk about this more. And when he showed up,
- 35:04Speaker 5: he brought his typewriter and he was like, there's my witness,
- 35:08Speaker 5: and it was like a joke. It was like, haha,
- 35:10Speaker 5: I got you. I made all this up. And these
- 35:12Speaker 5: claims about Visop passing the torch to Mazzini and then
- 35:16Speaker 5: Mazzini passing the torch to Pike that comes later on
- 35:20Speaker 5: that all of this stems from that original Leo Taxil
- 35:23Speaker 5: hoax and that there really is no valid connection between
- 35:27Speaker 5: Visop and Mazzini and Pike or between any of those
- 35:30Speaker 5: two people. And the I'm not going to go too
- 35:33Speaker 5: much in the weeds on this because we so I
- 35:34Speaker 5: have talk about Sarian talks about, but that Visop when
- 35:38Speaker 5: he dies, he just passed the torch of the Illuminati
- 35:41Speaker 5: to another Austrian guy. It didn't go to some dude
- 35:44Speaker 5: in Italy. And Mazzini he was part of multiple secret
- 35:48Speaker 5: societies because if you wanted to get anywhere in Italian
- 35:51Speaker 5: politics at this point in time, you had to be
- 35:54Speaker 5: part of these secret societies. And the one that usually
- 35:57Speaker 5: gets reference is called the Carbonari or the Arco charcoal burners,
- 36:02Speaker 5: because they'd meet in the middle of the night and
- 36:03Speaker 5: burn charcoal. And then there's a connection between Mazzini and Pike.
- 36:08Speaker 5: That letter I believe is completely fabricated. So anyways, that
- 36:12Speaker 5: was probably my biggest overboard moment where it was like,
- 36:14Speaker 5: this is the thing that got me interested in the
- 36:17Speaker 5: Illuminati and the Scottish Right and even in the Mazzini
- 36:21Speaker 5: to begin with. But now twenty plus years later, it's like, oh,
- 36:25Speaker 5: it hurts to hear it, just because if anyone that
- 36:28Speaker 5: wants to look into the credibility that statement. You're not
- 36:31Speaker 5: really going to come up with anything on theman TikTok post.
- 36:33Speaker 4: Let me just give you the YouTube comment that was
- 36:35Speaker 4: left right now, interesting enough that you said that at
- 36:38Speaker 4: the thirty three minute mark.
- 36:40Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:43Speaker 5: Again, I had to coordinate this with my brothers. They
- 36:45Speaker 5: told me exactly when to say all this. He also
- 36:48Speaker 5: makes a claim that Albert Pike brought Scottish Rite freemasonry
- 36:53Speaker 5: to the US. That's also very incorrect, and that's not
- 36:56Speaker 5: even like a conspiracy in crag. That's just it actually
- 36:59Speaker 5: came in the early eighteen hundreds from like Charleston, and
- 37:04Speaker 5: it had already existed.
- 37:06Speaker 1: It came from French and Caribbean.
- 37:09Speaker 5: Explorers basically, and they're the ones that brought Scottish Right,
- 37:12Speaker 5: but Scottish Right until Albert Pike created the order out
- 37:16Speaker 5: of chaos that like, it was so disjointed that if
- 37:20Speaker 5: you went to two different Scottish Right temples across the country,
- 37:23Speaker 5: like they would be, they would not be compatible with
- 37:26Speaker 5: each other. So he Albert Pike is credited for bringing
- 37:30Speaker 5: like a standardization to the Scottish Right, but he did
- 37:33Speaker 5: not bring the Scottish right to the US. So again
- 37:36Speaker 5: he was like little nitpicky things, but they're very specific
- 37:39Speaker 5: claims that he makes that inspired me to look into
- 37:42Speaker 5: this way deeper over the last two decades.
- 37:44Speaker 4: And one of the other hidden treasures for me because
- 37:47Speaker 4: it's something that still used today talked about a lot,
- 37:50Speaker 4: as well as the serpent imagery right when he gets
- 37:52Speaker 4: into the medical and that the snake around like a
- 37:55Speaker 4: lot of the medical stuff and a lot of corporate
- 37:57Speaker 4: symbolism with the serpent, and how that the knowledge is
- 38:02Speaker 4: to be transferred. And then that goes back to Pike
- 38:04Speaker 4: where Lucifer was not necessarily lose as the devil or satan,
- 38:07Speaker 4: but the word was used in enlightenment and knowledge and
- 38:10Speaker 4: empowerment and stuff like that. So I think again your
- 38:15Speaker 4: interpretation of it doesn't We don't know, because I'll go
- 38:18Speaker 4: again shout out again to Esoteric Eddie. You know, his
- 38:21Speaker 4: whole Lucifer theory of where it being Saint Lucifer and
- 38:24Speaker 4: that being a name used to like kind of degrade
- 38:29Speaker 4: him and now Lucifer is Satan even though Saint Lucifer
- 38:32Speaker 4: just disagreed with Constantine in them where he's like no
- 38:35Speaker 4: Jesus was a real person or he wasn't a real person.
- 38:38Speaker 4: That argument is what created the word lucifer in general. Right,
- 38:41Speaker 4: So I think a lot of this stuff gets lost
- 38:44Speaker 4: in the weeds because people don't know where it comes from,
- 38:46Speaker 4: so they go up serpent automatically devil. And I think
- 38:50Speaker 4: if you study symbolism to his point, Michael's point is
- 38:53Speaker 4: that then you'll know a little bit more. And not
- 38:55Speaker 4: saying that everything he's saying is correct, but at least
- 38:58Speaker 4: if you the main thing that I got away what
- 39:00Speaker 4: it is that we do need.
- 39:01Speaker 6: To learn symbolism. It is important.
- 39:04Speaker 5: So most of the other notes that I have here
- 39:06Speaker 5: are things that I think he was incorrect about, So
- 39:08Speaker 5: I guess these are these all count as overboard moments.
- 39:11Speaker 1: So one of them is.
- 39:12Speaker 5: That he shows a legitimate illustration from a Masonic expose.
- 39:17Speaker 5: It was either from Duncan's ritual or it might have
- 39:20Speaker 5: been from William Morgan's expose that led to the anti
- 39:24Speaker 5: Masonic movement in the States.
- 39:26Speaker 1: But he shows a I'll be ablity.
- 39:27Speaker 5: It's a fellow Craft handshake, and it shows that when
- 39:30Speaker 5: they're I can't do it because I don't have two
- 39:32Speaker 5: right hands. But they shake in the hands that the
- 39:35Speaker 5: thumb goes on a very specific part of the knuckle,
- 39:38Speaker 5: depending on if they're edit apprentice or if they're a
- 39:41Speaker 5: fellow craft or if they're master Mason, it goes on
- 39:43Speaker 5: a different knuckle. So he shows that picture that is
- 39:47Speaker 5: legitimately from one of these Masonic rituals, and then he's like,
- 39:51Speaker 5: and look at all these other photos of handshakes, and
- 39:53Speaker 5: it just has a bunch of corporate logos, and to
- 39:57Speaker 5: a layman that just was like, oh my god, hand
- 40:00Speaker 5: shakes are free Masonic. Oh my god, these logos are Masonic.
- 40:03Speaker 5: But if you look at the logos, none of them
- 40:05Speaker 5: have the thumb touching like a specific knuckle, so they're
- 40:09Speaker 5: literally just regular handshakes. But to someone watching this for
- 40:13Speaker 5: the first time, it's like, oh my god, it's all Masons, right.
- 40:17Speaker 5: So and this becomes a theme as he does this presentation,
- 40:21Speaker 5: because then he says like, okay, let's talk about the
- 40:24Speaker 5: number three. The number three is very important in freemasonry.
- 40:28Speaker 5: And my first thought was like, well, there's only nine
- 40:31Speaker 5: numbers total, and all of numbers, there's only nine, and
- 40:34Speaker 5: then if you take the number nine, nine is technically
- 40:37Speaker 5: three times three so like even if it were nine
- 40:40Speaker 5: as the number, I'd be like, well, nine is three
- 40:42Speaker 5: times three, so really nine's a secret three. It's a
- 40:45Speaker 5: covert three. So now we're talking, we've only got like
- 40:49Speaker 5: seven other letters left, but before nine and three, Right,
- 40:53Speaker 5: I would argue that all numbers are important to everyone
- 40:56Speaker 5: in all groups. Like it's not like the Masons get
- 40:59Speaker 5: to own the number three because it's important to them,
- 41:02Speaker 5: Like you can't get to four unless you get the
- 41:05Speaker 5: three first, right, So technically, like to what group on
- 41:09Speaker 5: the planet is the number three not important?
- 41:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and then go talk to Gary the numbers guy, right,
- 41:16Speaker 4: Like he'll tell you all of the numbers are important.
- 41:18Speaker 4: And throughout history, as you said, whatever secret society.
- 41:22Speaker 6: Whatever group was running things, numbers were important.
- 41:25Speaker 4: That's like things that you have to use and doesn't
- 41:28Speaker 4: translate over anywhere else, Right, it's always numbers, Like, numbers
- 41:31Speaker 4: are the one thing we don't have to translate.
- 41:34Speaker 5: Well, he does three, and then he's like, but also two,
- 41:37Speaker 5: because the dichotomy is of like light and dark and
- 41:40Speaker 5: up and down and left and right and east and
- 41:42Speaker 5: west and all these false dichotomies. So yeah, the overboard
- 41:48Speaker 5: moment there is just like there's no one secret society
- 41:51Speaker 5: that owns the number two, or that owns the number three,
- 41:54Speaker 5: or that owns the concept of two things or three
- 41:56Speaker 5: things or any number of things.
- 41:58Speaker 1: So that was a little bit silly.
- 42:00Speaker 5: And then he gets into like, you know what else
- 42:03Speaker 5: is really important to Masons?
- 42:04Speaker 1: The colors blue and red. Let's look at a bunch
- 42:07Speaker 1: of logos that are.
- 42:08Speaker 5: Blue and a bunch of logos that are red, and again,
- 42:11Speaker 5: like I've got I've got an instant knee jerk reaction
- 42:14Speaker 5: of like, I'm not ready to give Mason's ownership of
- 42:17Speaker 5: the colors red and blue, like they didn't. They didn't
- 42:19Speaker 5: create red and blue. And if you use red or
- 42:22Speaker 5: blue in something doesn't mean that you're doing it for
- 42:25Speaker 5: Masonic purposes or the Masons. That like, is the sky
- 42:29Speaker 5: blue because Mason's wanted it to be blue?
- 42:32Speaker 1: It gets into this.
- 42:33Speaker 5: Weird infinite logic missing loop that it's hard for me
- 42:37Speaker 5: to get on board for.
- 42:39Speaker 4: Well, see, this overboar moment is important, right because we're
- 42:42Speaker 4: going through that right now with a particular place that
- 42:45Speaker 4: people keep talking about that that run everything. It's the
- 42:48Speaker 4: same thing you heard about the Freemasons, And to me,
- 42:51Speaker 4: he does get a little bit into the weeds of like, yeah,
- 42:53Speaker 4: it's pretty much free Masons run everything, and it's only
- 42:55Speaker 4: the Freemasons.
- 42:56Speaker 6: He talks Illuminati a little bit.
- 42:58Speaker 4: But there's multitudes of secret societies throughout the history of time,
- 43:04Speaker 4: and I think people hone into these certain groups and
- 43:07Speaker 4: they're like, well, they're the ones running it, and you're like, well,
- 43:09Speaker 4: they may run a faction of it, right, Like that's
- 43:11Speaker 4: just not how the world works.
- 43:12Speaker 6: And I think it's a prime example of it being
- 43:15Speaker 6: an overboar moment.
- 43:16Speaker 4: But we could use it as his hidden treasure to
- 43:18Speaker 4: help people get out of this hold, whether they like
- 43:22Speaker 4: it's only this group that is doing everything right. And
- 43:26Speaker 4: we keep going back and forth on this. I've heard
- 43:28Speaker 4: it through the last like thirty years of my life
- 43:30Speaker 4: of where I went from Illuminati to Freemasons.
- 43:33Speaker 6: And now it's this group and now it's that group.
- 43:35Speaker 4: And there's tons of secret societies that people have to study,
- 43:40Speaker 4: and they all have terminology, they all use numbers, they
- 43:43Speaker 4: all have hidden symbolism because that's just how they're called
- 43:47Speaker 4: secret societies. Man, you're not supposed to know everything about it. Now,
- 43:51Speaker 4: over time we've found stuff about them. But I think
- 43:54Speaker 4: they the Freemasons get too much credit, right, Like I mean,
- 43:57Speaker 4: if I'm a Freemason, I'm happy, like yeah, hell yeah.
- 43:59Speaker 4: We rolling like I mean, hell yeah that I own
- 44:02Speaker 4: the color blue and red.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
- 44:05Speaker 5: You have like Nicholas Cage and hidden what was it
- 44:08Speaker 5: National Treasure, where like the Masons are hiding gold under
- 44:11Speaker 5: all these like Mason's love that movie because it probably
- 44:14Speaker 5: caused a little surge and membership because there's people like, what,
- 44:17Speaker 5: I can be Indiana Jones, That's so cool. And then
- 44:20Speaker 5: they show up and it's like, memorize this boring script
- 44:23Speaker 5: and then show up for meet Lo afterwards and you're like, what,
- 44:26Speaker 5: like when do we get to go treasure hunting?
- 44:29Speaker 7: Uh?
- 44:29Speaker 5: So? I and I as I'm watching the Syrian thing
- 44:32Speaker 5: and some of these claims, like I feel like I
- 44:34Speaker 5: can see where some of them are coming from. A
- 44:37Speaker 5: lot of the Mason stuff comes from Myron Fagan and
- 44:39Speaker 5: Nessa Webster, who were like a couple super og like
- 44:43Speaker 5: nineteen forties nineteen fifties researchers that would make a lot
- 44:46Speaker 5: of these claims. He also go and Michael Sarion, unlike
- 44:51Speaker 5: a lot of the people that he based his research on.
- 44:54Speaker 5: I do think he's maybe closer to Jordan Maxwell than
- 44:57Speaker 5: some of these others, like the handshake thing, and then
- 44:59Speaker 5: showing pictures of all these guys doing handshakes. Then he's
- 45:01Speaker 5: got like, uh, oh, I'm part of the club, right.
- 45:03Speaker 5: He has one that's a longhorn, and then he has
- 45:06Speaker 5: one that's like the Satan symbol, and then he shows
- 45:08Speaker 5: a whole bunch of celebrities and politicians kind of making
- 45:12Speaker 5: all these same symbols, and the premise is like, oh,
- 45:16Speaker 5: they're all in this big club. Well, that link of
- 45:20Speaker 5: different people doing same hand symbols comes from tex Mars,
- 45:24Speaker 5: specifically his Codex Magica series. But tex Mars was like,
- 45:28Speaker 5: and if they're doing that, they're working for Satan. And
- 45:31Speaker 5: if they're on a checkerboard floor, then they're working for Satan.
- 45:34Speaker 5: Sarih On is way more nuanced on this because even
- 45:36Speaker 5: as he's talking about like this is Masons and this
- 45:39Speaker 5: is Mason's he's like, and remember the founding fathers were Masons,
- 45:43Speaker 5: so they were like good at the time, is the implication.
- 45:46Speaker 5: So he kind of dances between if it's good or bad,
- 45:49Speaker 5: but they are behind it, and then he goes into
- 45:52Speaker 5: the checkerboard floor motif, And the example that he shows
- 45:57Speaker 5: is like a nineteen nineties airbrushed like muscle car on
- 46:03Speaker 5: a checkerboard floor with neon lighting. And it was like,
- 46:06Speaker 5: I remember this motif in the nineties maybe eighties nineties
- 46:09Speaker 5: where it was like checkerboard neon muscle car. You saw
- 46:12Speaker 5: like a million versions of this, they had posters and calendars,
- 46:16Speaker 5: and I was just like, so is the premise now
- 46:18Speaker 5: that there's a secret mason working for the calendar company?
- 46:22Speaker 5: That was like, I'm going to put a checkerboard floor
- 46:25Speaker 5: under this corvette and that's going to influence the world somehow.
- 46:30Speaker 5: Like once he showed that picture of the muscle car
- 46:33Speaker 5: on the checkerboard floor, I was like, okay, Like I'm
- 46:35Speaker 5: on board, bro, Like I love everything you're saying, but
- 46:38Speaker 5: like you're reaching way too far, Like I don't even
- 46:41Speaker 5: understand what.
- 46:42Speaker 1: The point is, Like why is that checkerboard floor there?
- 46:49Speaker 5: This is the seventh or eighth time that I've seen this.
- 46:53Speaker 5: I think it might be the first time that you've
- 46:55Speaker 5: seen it. So you tell me if it's a syncroswhim.
- 46:59Speaker 4: I really to go with a float on this one, okay,
- 47:02Speaker 4: because there's a lot of information there's a lot of
- 47:05Speaker 4: stuff I agree with.
- 47:06Speaker 6: I just would like it explained.
- 47:08Speaker 4: I do like how he does have nuance to it
- 47:10Speaker 4: and he doesn't go with everything satan.
- 47:13Speaker 6: I like that aspect of it.
- 47:14Speaker 4: I like how he tries to modernize it and kind
- 47:17Speaker 4: of leave it in the middle. I do love that part.
- 47:19Speaker 4: There is a lot of wild claims again where it's
- 47:21Speaker 4: all the Masons or Illuminati, and then that gets me
- 47:24Speaker 4: the almost tip to a sink, because like I'm like, oh,
- 47:27Speaker 4: that's where we got a lot of this nonsense nowadays,
- 47:29Speaker 4: or where people are honed in on certain groups or
- 47:32Speaker 4: certain things.
- 47:32Speaker 6: That it has to be that.
- 47:34Speaker 4: But the symbolism is important as well, Like I think you,
- 47:39Speaker 4: I wish you would have went more into like some
- 47:40Speaker 4: of the Edward Burnet stuff where you could actually be like,
- 47:43Speaker 4: oh they use this, this is how they trick you, right, Like, Hey,
- 47:46Speaker 4: green's a popular color, we want women to smoke.
- 47:49Speaker 6: Let's change the package to green.
- 47:50Speaker 4: Hey, let's attach to a feminist movement so that and
- 47:53Speaker 4: be like, oh, what men don't think women should smoke?
- 47:56Speaker 4: That to me is more where you could get people
- 47:59Speaker 4: to grasp the idea of what not just symbolism, but
- 48:02Speaker 4: manipulation through the media. I do think he does a
- 48:05Speaker 4: great job. I don't think it's for everybody. I think
- 48:08Speaker 4: it's if you're not into seminars and like PowerPoint stuff,
- 48:13Speaker 4: you might be turned off by this right away. But
- 48:15Speaker 4: I do think it's a good watch. I don't want
- 48:17Speaker 4: to discredit it, but I got to give it a float.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Well, I think we're aligned on this again.
- 48:22Speaker 5: But I came from it's obviously going to be a
- 48:26Speaker 5: swim to like the more I watched it, I realized
- 48:29Speaker 5: that it maybe didn't hold up great over the last
- 48:32Speaker 5: twenty plus years. That some of the things that literally
- 48:35Speaker 5: inspired me to even pursue working on comics and like
- 48:40Speaker 5: putting conspiracy and occult research into some kind of like
- 48:43Speaker 5: a creative endeavor, like it came from talks like this.
- 48:47Speaker 5: But as I go back and I watch it, I'm like, man,
- 48:49Speaker 5: a lot of this is just like just everyone's catching strings.
- 48:52Speaker 5: You're just firing in every direction, like, oh, I must
- 48:55Speaker 5: have hit something, right, I got to have hit something.
- 48:57Speaker 5: I shot in every direction, so I had to, so
- 49:00Speaker 5: I get that feel from it. So I mean, I'm
- 49:03Speaker 5: very much like it's a swim, but maybe it's turning
- 49:07Speaker 5: into a flow. It's like maybe a ten percent swim
- 49:10Speaker 5: and ninety percent float, so somewhere in that area.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Because I I want.
- 49:14Speaker 5: To highly encourage anyone to watch this, but also even
- 49:18Speaker 5: knowing that this is right up my alley and that
- 49:21Speaker 5: I ate this up when it first came out and
- 49:23Speaker 5: I saw it. But on this like seventh or eighth
- 49:26Speaker 5: rewatch that I did for this episode, I was checking
- 49:29Speaker 5: my phone here and there. I was kind of like checking,
- 49:32Speaker 5: you know, how far, oh, how many more clips that
