Have you ever wanted to go on a date with the voices in your head?
Well, now you can! Join Brother Isaac as he goes on a second first date with Monika (Moodslut) and talks about how to be a good dater, lover, partner and dominatrix.
Why did Florida stay the MAGA course? Was it the sclerotic state Democratic party? Was is the influx of right-wingers from all the states that went blue? Is it the hyper-selfish individualism of your average retiree? Was it the humidity? Brother Isaac is joined by Ryan Ray to figure it out.
Have you seen the burning buildings in France? How does it make you feel?
I know how certain people want you to feel. They want you to think that the barbaric hordes are storming the gates of western civilization and that they want to destroy everything you hold beautiful and sacred. France today. America tomorrow.
The burning of the the town hall in Limoges is the most powerful image to come out of the unrest in France. A fiery blaze of an historic stone building and the crashing of its clock tower is held up and all the people who love things good and beautiful mourn.
Now, I don’t think it’s the proper thing to burn. It’s bad PR for a movement that isn’t senseless violence, as much as they want you to believe that. They don’t tell you that it’s not as historic as you think. The building is 143 years old, which by European architectural standards is quite young. it was built to look old. but i did not mourn this building.
Nor did I mourn the arson at Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s vacation home, weeks later. People will say it was a beautiful building with great vistas and a nice cafe! It’s historic! You burned down Hitler’s airbnb! What did he ever do to you!
It’s funny the things we choose to shed tears of and get all indignant and protective over. I’m trying to think of what the American equivalent might be. If i had to pick one in the news right now, it’s the Cheesecake Factory. That is our Limoges. That is our Eagle’s Nest.
If you’re not familiar with the discourse, at a recent rally, Obama made a decent joke.
I didn’t think he was making fun of Cheesecake Factory, but conservative operatives took it as an opportunity to yelp and claim that Obama was ridiculing the average American who thinks that Cheesecake Factory is a nice place.
Now, ive never been to a cheesecake factory. I thought it was a place that sold cheesecakes. Stranger places have stayed in business, but it’s considered to be a modestly fancy place to take your family out for massive caloric meals...

The most important first amendment issue of our time is Shrek’s penis.
Back in June, Ohio journalists and friend of the show DJ Byrnes was arrested for sending a picture of Shrek’s penis to the fourth most powerful republican in the Ohio state legislature. If you want to listen to the whole story, go back a few weeks and listen, but to summarize it, he was unjustly arrested for a misdemeanor. What happened to him is unheard of.
Earlier this month, DJ went to court. It seemed like an open and shut case of first amendment rights. The Ohio jury thought otherwise. It’s not their fault. The judge (who flew up from the free state of florida to oversee the case for some reason) instructed DJ’s lawyers that the first amendment did not apply and were not permitted to even utter the constitutional right as a part of their defense. DJ was found guilty of “telecommuncations harassment” and ordered to pay a fine of $200 plus court costs. His lawyers cost 1200 hour plus whatever other expenses the court deemed necessary.
Now, this might seem silly, and it is. I watched the trial and having Shrek’s green penis on a powerpoint was very funny. But it is also alarming. This sets a worrying precedent—not that unsolicited dick pics are now illegal, which silver lining I guess right ladies?—but that the power of the court can be wielded in such a petty and unlawful way.
DJ plans to appeal, and must certainly will win. The plaintiff actually committed witness tampering after the trial, which for some reason the judge also chose to not punish. There is a chance that this could go to the Supreme Court. Inshallah.
This is charade is to punish DJ for his good work. I’m a big fan of what he does, and corrupt Ohioan politicians hate for it in turn. DJ is at the Ohio capital statehouse every day to hold what he calls those sweaty perverts, accountable for their wrongdoings and lies.
DJ must not be silenced. It was actually DJ that broke the Vivek Ramasaway ad using his opponents estranged...
The social media manipulation in Brazil is severe.
Meta has already been caught altering its algorithm to suppress Lula and bolster Bolsonaro. WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is installed on 98 percent of all phones in Brazil. I know Americans don’t use it much, so we don’t understand the significance of this kind of social media hegemony, but it informs much of the Brazilian populatoin.
The US has vested interest in a Bolsonaro victory. . Brazil has many resources that the US and it’s tech oligarchs would love to dig up for pennies on the dollar. Bolsonaro would happily let the rapacious US interests do whatever they want to the land.
Whatever happens come Sunday, Meta must be destroyed. Social media must be smashed into a thousand pieces and scattered to the wind.
To talk about the state of Brazil, its elections, how Bolsonaro is both like Trump and Not, and why Glenn Greenwald is a lying fraudster, I’m joined by Brian Mier. Brian has lived in Brazil for the last 30 years is a reporter for TeleSur.
Mind control is nothing new.
Ever hear of a little movie called The Odyssey? Well, there's a scene where these Sirens sing and get into Odysseus's head and make him act all weird. They burned witches at the stake for entering the minds of good Christian men and women making them too horny. Gothic fiction told many stories of nefarious hypnosis and induced trance states.
But mind control ceased to be a fantastical metaphor since WW2 when it was very seriously studied and experimented. Still, today’s sloppy conspiracists love to use it to explain history.
What’s so appealing about mind control is that it can explain any behavior. It’s a Deus ex Machina that can help paper over any gaps in a theory that would be otherwise unsatisfactory. And what could be more sinister than taking control of someone's most fundamental part of the self?
But the Candace’s and Alex Jones’s have done a serious disservice to a very real study of the mind and human behavior. MKUltra is real, but it’s not what you think it is. Today’s guest, Robert Skvarla, tells us about his years long investigation into the history of MKUltra and how we got from fake pigeons to IQ mind control.
Make sure you subscribe to Robert’s new Substack, NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY
If you are upset with the Ellison’s takeover of American media, supporting independent researchers like Robert is your best legal and nonviolent course of action. The best way to kill (metaphorically) Bari Weiss is to give money to Robert and support his deeply researched and well written work.
From blood libel to trans panics to jenkem, the innocence of children has always been an effective political tool.
I remember when cable news would try to scare parents about Halloween and made up stories about sickos putting razor blades in snickers bars. But today's fears are much more depraved. Adults harbor hyper sexual fantasies about children being sodomized and how they can be heroes and put an end to this crime.
What made America fantasize about the pedophile? Was it a reaction to the sexual liberation revolution? Was it Epstein? Was it Chris Hansen’s To Catch a Predator? Is it sublimated guilt? To figure it out I’m joined by Jake Rhodes of P*****o Time. We talk about this unsavory cultural phenomena and review the new Robert Pattinson movie PRIMETIME, which people wrongly claim absolves child predators and demonizes Chris Hansen. Enjoy!
True crime is bad for you.
On tonight's episode Brother Isaac talks about a true crime series that investigates true crime itself. The HBO documentary is called A Killer Story, and the star of the show, Joe Sexton, gives us a behind the scenes look at the mini-series Joe is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist who spent many years and the New York Times and ProPublica.
A Killer Story tells the story of a double homicide in Kansas and two local true crime obsessives who dedicate their lives to overturning a murder conviction. The show is critical of the true crime genre, and as Joe will explain, was originally intended to be even more critical of one of the premier true crime shows, CBS’s 48 hours, but was thwarted by media monopolization.
It frustrates me to no end that we only get a few days to talk about 9/11. Even fewer now that Charlie Kirk’s death is the day before.
The 25th anniversary came and went everything stayed the same. I thought there would be at least something, it being a quarter century since the attacks. Like they would have saved the good stuff for a such an important number. But they did not.
And so the ghosts of 9/11 linger.
I didn’t use to believe in ghosts, but I’m not sure how else to explain the world we live in today. We are haunted by the cursed actions of our ruling elite. And until we reckon with our ghosts we will be weighed down by their constant presence a every day will be 9/11 like some kind of gruesome Groundhog Day.
You'll see the ghosts everywhere you look. In ICE detention facilities, in Palestine, in a girl's school in Iran.
I'm afraid that the way we treat 9/11 will be the same way we treat Palestine in a few short years.
My documentary about the ghosts of 9/11 that haunt Florida will be out by Halloween. My excuse is that I want to extend the conversation beyond the date itself, but the truth is that I just didn't finish it yet. But that gives me time to make something even more special.
Until then, I'll keep reminding everyone what day it is.
The death of Charlie Kirk was supposed to be the martyrdom that kicked off the Fourth Reich. Liberals were supposed to go to gulags. A golden age of traditional Christian values were supposed to flourish and cleanse our degenerate society. A conservative totalitarian utopia seemed just along the horizon.
Instead, everyone turned Charlie Kirk into a meme. The world is becoming Kirkified. Much like 9/11, his tragedy is a joke. If fascism is the aestheticization of politics, what is this then? The aestheticization of nihilism? 9/11 and Charlie Kirk have been depoliticized. Ideology has been replaced by performance art. All these images are meant to show just how much you don't care.
Brother Isaac is joined by Dorian (dankdeleuze) and Herman Wakefield (doomscroll_forever) to talk about how we've always been Charlie Kirk.
Be sure to buy Dorian's book about concrete if you haven't already.
Brother Isaac and Brad the Rambler talk about how to find forgiveness for the wicked (Milo Yiannopoulos) and why Buc-ees is Mecca for Christian Zionists
It's been a wild month in Florida. The far right is floundering, the DeSantis administration got busted stealing money meant for children and used it to ban abortion and powerful state legislator might get sentenced to death for being a p+dophile by the very legislation he wrote.
Florida Man Ryan Ray joins to bring us good news about the state the portends the future of the world.
Why does the statistically insignificant subject of trans women in sports get such outsized attention?
The cruel marketing campaign of Enes Kanter and Royce White opting into the 2027 WNBA draft has reignited the perennial debate of trans women participating in sports, creating a problem where there was none. It's not unlike the premise of the movie Airbud's "because there's no rule that says they can't."
So why do we (especially cis-het white men) care so much?
To understand better, Brother Isaac is joined by Laura (@freudwasframed) to get a the root of our culture's misguided obsession with gender.
We are also joined by a former NCAA women's swimmer to discuss her experience competing against trans women.
Brother Isaac sat down with Dan Bilzerian to talk about his congressional race against Randy Fine for the 6th district of Florida. But they don't end up talking about Florida at all. Rather, they speed run through every Jewish conspiracy on the internet. Bilzerian claims to have abandoned his hedonistic life of gambling and sex addiction in favor of a higher calling: finding a "solution" to Jewish supremacy. When Brother Isaac tells him that he is Jewish halfway through the interview, Bilzerian says that he is actually "12 percent Jewish."
So watch these two Jewish kings get all Talmudic about the Jewish question in the wake of Bilzerian's electoral defeat.
Was Japan destined to be fascist?
Eyes Wide Open joins us to talk about his 10-part series on the rise of fascism in modern Japan. The series explores the dissolution of feudal Japan and the subsequent rise of its extraordinarily bloody imperialism. Japan is the focal point of the oft ignored anticommunist efforts during the cold war in Asia.

Minnesota won the battle. Now they must win the war.
The US government is not invincible. Minnesota showed us how to drive American fascist forces out of their city. But the Trump administration are sore losers. They cannot have a city give the people a template for victory. So ICE is back and arresting citizens who fought back.
Exit North returns to tell us what happened in the wake of Minnesota's winter success and what the people are facing today.

Our dear friend Herman Wakefield (@doomscroll_forever) returns to us to talk Jimothy and Clavicular. He also provides us with fiduciary investment advice.
In order to be put on a government terrorist watchlist you have to be “nominated.” At the beginning of Trump’s second term in office, there were 6,000 names on that list. Most of them were Muslim. Now, according to today’s guest Daniel Boguslaw, there are more than two million. There are only about 4.5 million Muslims in all of America. I do not think they put half of American’s Muslim population the last (as much as they would like to).
No, now we are on the list. And it doesn’t take much to get on there anymore. Dan will tell you how speaking negatively about technology might get you nominated. We also do some shit talking about other journalists.
Support Dan’s good work here.
And if you’d like to join the upcoming book club for Jasper Craven’s God Forgives, Brothers Don’t, to yell at him about Graham Platner, send me an email.
Journalist DJ Byrnes was arrested for sending an Ohio State Senator a picture of Shrek's penis (message me and I'll show you the picture if you're brave enough). He now faces jail time because the Ohio judicial system likes to do favors for those in power.
This is both very funny and very serious. This is a first amendment case. Say what you will about those dandy founding fathers of ours, but they did enshrine in law our right to psychically torture our elected officials. If DJ goes to jail, this will set an incredible precedent. We will all have to rally behind Shrek's green hog (and DJ).
We also talk about the Vivek Ramaswamy's pathetic campaign for governor of Ohio (he might lose!) and how you, too, can be a journalist gadfly at your local government buildings.
Please show DJ some love and support his work over at The Rooster.
There was something unique I noticed about Platner’s campaign.
Unlike Mamdani with his polished, quick and highly produced videos, Platner would speak into a front facing camera with no cuts to say he is sorry. Each time he had to address some past scandal, his drinking, his womanizing, his Nazi tattoo, he would look into his camera, apologize, and his poll numbers would go up. Why?
I realized that it was this front facing confession of his sins that put us in the position of a priest. Platner, instead of denying or doing the corporate dem meaningless word salad, was saying he was wrong and was asking for forgiveness. And We were on the receiving end of his apology and we were given the power to grant him grace.
But we are not priests. We are Americans. The blood is on our hands. Platner is just a mirror. He is the avatar of our guilt, of our sins. If a man who was a soldier in a criminal war, a man who was an abusive drunk toward women, a man who served the mercenary machine and fed it blood can be redeemed, then maybe there is hope for us all. Because deep down I believe that Americans know we are living wrong.
To discuss this further, I am joined by journalist Jasper Craven who recently interviewed Graham Platner in the New Yorker. Craven has written extensively about the culture and psychology of American veterans, most notably in his excellent new book, God Forgives, Brothers Don't, which we will be doing a book club on the very near future, so if you haven’t got yourself a copy, make sure you do.
As always, thank you thank you for your continued support. Send me messages of things you’d like me to talk about, criticisms of what I could do better, because I’m in it for the long haul. Enjoy the show.
“I suddenly began to realize that everybody in America is a natural born thief.” - Jack Kerouac, On the Road
America is a country of thieves. We stole the land from the people who stole the land. And we love of our romantic criminals. Who doesn't enjoy a good heist?
So why so much fearmongering around shoplifting? They will tell you there is a sticky finger epidemic in America. That's why they have the deodorant behind plexiglass veils. That's why there are cameras absolutely everywhere. That's why they need to implement more facial recognition technology at the self-check outs. They will tell you that American companies lost more than $112 billion to shoplifting in 2022 alone.
This is a lie.
There is a lot of money to be made telling and selling the idea that corporations are victims.
Slate reporter Alex Sammon's latest piece dives into the world of anti-shoplifting technology and the multibillion dollar industry behind it. He joins the show to talk about how we shoplift, why we shoplift, and how you can get away with it.

What makes a national anthem good? Why does the Star Spangled Banner suck?
Ben and Jordano of Remember Shuffle help Brother Isaac rank a good chunk of the world's anthems.
No country suffers more from the American need for ancestral heritage than Ireland.
Ireland is full of hyphenated Americans who are looking for some kind of belonging because they do not have it in America. The American obsession with heritage is a kind of subconscious self-loathing. It is not enough to be American. It is not enough to have it all. No, we must be Irish, or Italian or EUROPEAN, even though we have no real relationship to those places. We gave that all up when we entered the diaspora.
So what do the Irish think of "Irish-Americans?" How can you travel to Ireland without being a part of the problem?
Brother Isaac is joined by Ciarán of Corner Späti to guide him through the land of a thousand welcomes.
Also, support the show and and show your true Irish heritage with the new "Kill Me, I'm Irish-American" t-shirt. Available in white, black and green.
We will never colonize space.
Smug folks love to look down on drunks who play the lottery.
"The odds are a million to one! You'll never win! Better to save your money and put it towards something real, ya bum!"
The math of a drunk playing scratch-offs is far superior to those who tell you we will "bring the light of consciousness to the stars." Our bodies can never permanently leave this earth . And yet, this is the contract Elon Musk has made with the global economy.
Space X's $2.7 trillion valuation is premised on Musk colonizing Mars with one million human inhabitants. Maybe he will nuke the brains of one million Neuralink users and imprison them on the planet and fulfill his fiduciary obligations, but you'd be better off putting all your money into a POWERBALL lottery ticket.
Why do people continue to believe in Musk? What happens when this promise that holds the global economy hostage fails to come to fruition?
Fellow Musk-hater, Jacob Silverman, joins the show once again to gawk in horror at the existence of the world's richest man.
Stephen Spielberg's Disclosure Day might be one of the worst movies of the 21st century.
What does this mean for the UFO community? How could they have fumbled such a timely story? If you didn't believe in aliens already, this movie might vindicate that. If you do believe in aliens, this movie might have you questioning why you believed in the first place.
Brother Isaac is joined by his friend and true believer, Ian, to discuss this massive disappointment.
Is it OK to watch the World Cup?
This is the first time in history that a nation hosting the the FIFA event is at war with another participating country.
The United States is somehow a worse than Qatar. Corruption is rampant. Prices are exorbitantly gouged. Visiting players are being treated like criminals.
How can I maintain my principles and still watch the beautiful game?
To figure out how, I am joined by Klonny (@parapowermapping) to talk about sports and why they cannot be abandoned.
Sometimes I feel like I am at the center of the world. I’m not talking about that main character energy nonsense. I mean that living in Florida makes me feel l like I am close to beating heart of the evil empire. Our nefarious overlords practice on Florida first: Data centers, detention centers, etc. Sometimes it feels like Florida is the most American state in the country.
But maybe I’m biased.
There is one other state that rivals Florida’s centrality: Texas. So to find out which state is the center of the US empire, I am joined by Jake Rhodes of P*****o Time.
And as always, if you enjoy the show, show your love however you can. Subscribe, follow, share etc etc etc. Enjoy.
There aren’t many true believers left in the world today. Lots of people well perform their supposed principles. They will tell you they are good Christians or Communists or whatever, but a very quick glance will tell you it’s all just words. So on the eve of what appears to be an American military incursion on the tiny island nation of Cuba, I feel compelled to express my love for Ernesto Che Guevara.
I know that his image has been tainted over the years by hipster merchandise, but don’t let that diminish you appreciation for a recent historical figure who was a principled, true believer. And definitely don't buy a word of those Cuban American gusanos who try to equate him to Hitler. Che was good.
On today's episode, I am joined by Ben and Jordano of Remember Shuffle to remind you just how incredible and inspire Che Guevara is and how to explain the prevalence of his image in the 2000s.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is no more and Brother Isaac says not a moment too soon. Stephen Colbert is a husk of his former self. He once parodied bloviating conservative media pundits with deadpan perfection. Then, during the Obama and Trump years, he became a parody of the vacant liberal dem. One was funny, the other was not.
People are blaming Trump for his cancellation, and maybe that's true, but its unfortunate because he should have been booted by his own lack of comedic merit. Now, he gets to be a liberal martyr in the fight against the bad orange man. He should be so grateful.
To discuss the rise and precipitous fall of Stephen Colbert, Brother Isaac is joined by Brothers Ben and Jordano of Remember Shuffle. Be sure to follow them if you aren't already.
Do you feel good?
You know you can always feel better?
Are you optimizing? Are you eating the right things? Are you listening to the right music? Give me your metrics. Give me your metrics. Give me your metrics.
You did not sleep enough. You slept too much. You could feel better than you feel right now.
Summer Emerald (@salesforcechild) joins Brother Isaac to teach you how to live well while living in hell.
Be sure to check out Summer's exhibition, 5000 More Years and the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, Louisiana. If you want to feel just right you must go and see it.
Brother Isaac gets his mind blown by Laura (freudwasframed) again and again and again.
The X-Files intro ends with "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE." That means the truth is not here. The pursuit of UFO believers will have resolution. They're not unlike those Christian Millenarians waiting for the rapture. But what are the stakes of believing in aliens? What moral life choices does believing provide? Or is UFO belief symptomatic a society devoid of authority, community and ritual?
Almost nobody is buying it. They could roll out a little green man and most of the American public would probably just demand he be deported. After another empty disclosure drop, it appears that most of us just don't seem to care about aliens. So who is all this disclosure for? Who are the believers? Why do they believe? And should you care to believe at all?
For the first installment, Robert Skvarla, our Information War Corespondent, graces us with his presence.
Have you noticed all the robots? The ones going up and down the grocery aisles? The delivery boxes bumping into everything? The robot dogs patrolling our streets? The Flock cameras watching your every move?
They are here. And don't you dare confuse them for cute. They are our enemies and you should know your enemy well.
To talk robot dogs invading our streets and the Filipinos that pilot them from halfway across the world, Brother Isaac is joined by internet personality James Rehwald.
Was OpenAI whistleblower, Suchir Balaji, really murdered at the behest of Sam Altman? Or is it something even more sinister? Jacob Silverman joins the show to talk about logging off Twitter (I will never call it X) and how right-wing media distorts reality by feeding us our narrative desires.
Read Jacob's story about Balaji over at The Nation.
And keep with Jacob's consistently great work here.
*In a bad Jerry Seinfeld impression: "What's the deal with antisemitism?"
Don of Fourth Reich Archeology returns to discuss the prevalence of antisemitism in American discourse. From the crocodile tears of American Zionist Jews who have to concoct shameless "acts" of antisemitism, to the accidental Jewish supremacy of real antisemites who make Jews all-powerful movers of history, the "Jew" is at the center of it all.
But what I told you that Jews don't really exist, at least not in the way you think they do? What if the Jew and the antisemite are the yin and yang of fascism?
The Florida orange is dead. Who killed it?
State officials want to blame the little Chinese psyllid, a small bug that transmits a bacteria that causes citrus greening and kills the tree. One hundred percent of Florida orange trees are infected. Alex Sammon went to what's left of the skeletal Florida orange groves to find the real culprit.
Read his excellent story here: Who Killed the Florida Orange?
And Brother Isaac talks about his dear friends Marie Gluesenkamp Perez again. This time he talks about her war on sea lions. Does she just hate the charismatic mega fauna? Or is there something else behind this latest media campaign?
Why can’t we settle history?
Growing up in the end of history it seemed liked we had all agreed that slavery was bad. The colonial raping and pillaging of the new world was a bad thing. Hitler was bad. Case closed.
But in 2026, all of history and morality is up for debate.
The Zoomers love Hitler.
Today is Adolph Hitler’s birthday, so I thought it was an appropriate date to remind everyone that Hitler was actually very stupid and lame.
He was not some Great Man of History. He was a bumbling fool who found himself to be the boogeyman of modernity.
And you liberals aren’t going to get away with it either. I’m sure you’ve heard the time travel hypothetical: If you could travel back in time, would you kill baby Hitler. The socially acceptable answer is always yes. You’d stop the holocaust! Wrong. The idea that Hitler moved the world is giving him too much credit. This is the same thing as doing the the zoomers who love Hitler but from the opposite side.
Hitler was an avatar of history. He became the figure head of western anti communist movement. Gaza happened under Biden and Trump all the same.
Libs also love to give Hitler some kind of villain origin story. He killed Jews because he was a bad painter. Or, my personal favorite, he was the most evil man in history because he had a micropenis. They'll do anything but acknowledge the complicity of capital.
To talk about why Hitler is for children, I am joined by German correspondent Nick from Corner Späti
American Soldiers are objecting to this war. I didn’t know it, but any solider can conscientiously object. They don’t need to be a Quaker. All they need to do is make the case that the war goes against their beliefs.
What is it about this war that is making them turn their backs on their service?
To explain how and why US armed service members are protesting this war, I am joined by Mike Prysner, the Executive Director of the Center on Conscience & War. His organization is helping these soldiers opt out of fighting a criminal and immoral war.
If you are an active service member, a vet, you have family in the armed services, you MUST get this information out. If our military refuses to fight this war, we might be able to clear all this fog and breathe again.
Go here to learn more.

The latest attack on humanity by Silicon Valley is against your empathy. According to our tech overlords, you are wrong to be concerned with the well being of others. In fact, you are destroying civilization itself.
Ayn Rand never died.
But what is empathy? Is it an emotion that liberals exploit to brow beat you into submission? Or is it the saving grace of what it means to be human? And why are the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Marc Andreesen so adamant that you are doing it all wrong? Is this war on empathy a political tact to numb you to the coming horrors of the new world about to be born? To help us understand, I am joined by the lovely Dorian and Laura to talk about the politics and spirituality of empathy
Brother Isaac is joined by author Adam Gorightly and director Christopher Graybill to discuss the documentary Saucers, Spooks & Kooks.
The doc focuses on Paul Bennewitz, the man who was the subject of a targeted psychological warfare campaign by the US government to sow disinformation into the burgeoning UFO community of the 1980s. Massive amounts of resources were used to trick one man into believing things that were not true. The operation eventually drove Bennewitz mad and he was institutionalized. Brother Isaac wants to know if these same tactics that were deployed against Paul Bennewitz are now used at scale through social media to make everyone in America go mad.
Watch the documentary here.
Be careful what of what finds you.
If you are anything like me, you’ve likely come across one Professor Jiang Xueqin and his "Predictive History" channel. This is no accident.
He might appear to you on a minimally produced YouTube video as a humble Chinese man with salt and pepper hair revealing to you hidden truths about history, but he is not as he seems. He is being forced in front of your face and into your mind like Alex from A Clockwork Orange, only that you don't have to have your eyelids pried open.
But why? Why do they want us to hear this utter nonsense?
To get to the bottom of things, your Brother Isaac is joined by Benji Schoendorff of Resistance is Fertile.
Isaac and Brad the Rambler speculate on the mortal status of Bibi (don't get your hopes up), monitor the situationship in the Levant and then suggest where our war criminals should be sent to on "vacation" as a part of a world wide apology tour for American imperialism.
Havana Syndrome is back in the news and they still won't tell us what the hell it even is. Why do they keep up this vague ruse? War with Russia, of course. Robert Skvarla joins to parse this latest chapter of nation's information war against the public.
How does Noam Chomsky, one of the foremost “leftist” intellectuals associate himself with the dark heart of imperial blackmailing pimpery, Jeffery Epstein? Many people who found Chomsky’s leftist politics too tepid and too anti revolutionary are taking a victory lap. Does this taint his work and render it useless in the fight against fascism and colonialism and US empire, all the things that Chomsky dedicated his work to combat? Were there signs in Chomsky’s political philosophy that might have hinted at this relationship? Can we allow our political figures to live lives separate from their philosophy? Do I as I say, not as I hop on board the Lolita Express to visit Little St James.
To make sense of this I had fellow Florida Man, Nathan Robinson, stop by my apartment. Robinson knows Chomsky fairly well. His work has been influenced by Chomsky’s criticism of US Empire, and it shows in his work and his magazine, Current Affairs. He even co wrote a book with Chomsky in 2024 titled, The Myth of American Idealism. Robinson gives the best explanation I’ve heard so far.
We also talk conspiracies, the state of journalism and a super special secret guest calls in to say hello.
It's the official 200th episode.
To celebrate, Brother Isaac is putting forth a double feature episode with cherished guests, Robert Skvarla and then Herman Wakefield, to talk about aliens, the internet and whether you should log off or plug in for the long ride to God knows where.
Thank you for your continuing support.
To 200 episodes more!
Unlocking this episode about Clavicular just to say, I told you so.
Sister Merrick joins Brother Isaac to talk about the return of the Looksmaxxing phenomenon.
If you're on the internet at all, you've likely seen a character by the name of "Clavicular" come across your screen. He is a 19 year old "looksmaxxing" evangelist that tells his followers to smash their faces with hammers, do meth and wear make up to maximize their social value. But he did not arrive organically or own his own merit. Rather, the man behind the curtain has turned the dials to present him to young men to steer them away from the radicalizing politics of anti-zionism.
Dimitri from Subliminal Jihad joins Brother Isaac to talk about the latest revelations regarding Kurt Cobain's death.
And yes your boy got perma-banned from Instagram. Future episode will address the banopticon and how it's coming for all of us one way or another.
With the murder of Alex Pretti, former gun control types are changing their tune and stockpiling arms.
Is this folly? Is buying a gun the answer to rising authoritarianism? Or are you just more likely to blow your nuts off? Why are “Don’t Tread On Me,” 2nd amendment evangelists backtracking on their constitutional absolutisms? Brother Isaac and Brad The Rambler shoot their mouths off and bout gun ownership in America.
