Illuminati who? Apparently, some so-called ancient multi-national secret society has been making headlines recently, with claims from a highly reputable source that the group plans to strike again in November, this time with a plot that includes Bitcoins, 3D printing and 'Smart Dust'... whatever the hell that's supposed to be. Whomever these impostors are, they aren't fooling the members of that most erudite and secretive fraternal order that Middle Theory listeners know all-too-well.

Well apparently health officials in Texas are wording their press releases in obvious anticipation of this... so what are we to make of an official statement presented in the Lone Star State that compares ebola "conspiracies" with the Kennedy assassination?

That's precisely what happened to Sondra Prince, whose phone was confiscated in relation to her suspected involvement with heroine trafficking, which was then used to obtain photos (some of them rather racy, others depicting minors) which were posted to a phony Facebook page DEA agents used to impersonate her. That's almost as disconcerting as the fact that, as most of us know already, the NSA's massive surveillance programs are essentially conducted without any Congressional oversight.

In other news, a German journalist has come forward and says he was supported by the CIA, which encourages media to spread anti-Russian propaganda. Also, in North Korea rumors of Kim Jong Un being overthrown are all the rage (Update: And as had been discussed on the show, Kim Jong Un
