Who are these “elites” that are running everything? And don’t we all aspire to be elite anyway?
Adam Davidson usurps the podcast with questions he always wanted to ask about the CIA, starting with Surveillance Detection Runs.
Brent Lee went deep down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories then climbed himself out. Too much of it didn’t add up, especially the idea of crisis actors faking mass shootings and the election of Trump.
The school shootings in America have been real. We discuss how the concept of them being faked with crisis actors is completely impossible, but why some people spread the conspiracy theory and why others choose to believe it. And what's behind that politically.
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks the Catholic Church is too nice, and also run by Satanists. A Florida deputy sheriff writes disinformation for Russia. Stalin - Never Stop Applauding. And Keep Zimbabwe Great Again. And a dig at Ted Cruz, because that always plays.
The laptop is back, thanks to the recent Hunter Biden court case. John and Jerry, two of The Dirty 51 (signers of a letter written by former intelligence officials warning of Russian elections interference via the laptop Giuliani was hawking) are joined by another signer, former CIA officer Doug Wise, and podcast legend Adam Davidson to catch up to all the misinformation and misdirection around this laptop.
Crazy claims of the week: Hunter Biden's prosecution was a red herring; Cheap Fakes; and Emmanuel Macron's wife is a man. Plus The Epoch Times and new congressional Republicans put on Intelligence Committee.
Routine military training exercises, in the eyes of paranoid extremists, were a pretense for Obama to have the U.S. take over Texas. Which... uh... does't it already have?
Some people believe Alaska and Hawaii belong to Russia. Mainly Russians believe that.
Part Two of our interview with the Russian-Israeli-American “businessman” who, when partnered with Rudy Giuiliani, tried and failed to come up with dirt on the Bidens for Trump. And he's got a long list of names of the others who were in on it.
A Russian-Israeli-American “businessman,” partnered with Rudy Giuiliani, tried and failed to come up with dirt on the Bidens for Trump. It was all Russian disinformation.
Are gold-painted street performers in Pakistan actually spying on its citizens? John & Jerry look at this trend in the context of Pakistan's history, and recall some of their own surveillance stories.
One time when the CIA got it very wrong (with John Sipher, Jerry O'Shea and Adam Davidson)
Were Margaret Trudeau's “borders” open to Cuba? (with Jon Lovett)
We’re ALL The Deep State. Whistleblowers, whistleblowees, and the people who defend them. (with Mark Zaid)
This week, an attempted coup in Germany was stopped. A "prince" believed that a bureaucrat loophole could restore his lineage to power and reboot Germany to its pre-WW2 glory.
Guest Denver Riggleman gripes about his time as a sane Republican in Congress and how he was shunned for his morality. How Jerry was recruited into the CIA. And how to win a bar fight.
The conspiracy to protect Trump's lie about how it was the Ukranians who interfered with the 2016 election and not the Russians. How people rationalize taking money from Saudi Arabia. And two Russian spies were caught in Germany. (with Adam Davidson)
2Is there a conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories? (with guest David Corn and suprise dramatic readings!)
When did UFOs become "UAPs" and, as always, why is the government hiding them? (with Michael Ian Black and Seth Shostack)
