Awakened Exchanges

On this week’s episode, Shawn Shumway and I discuss the book Chaos, by Tom O’neill. We’ll look into CoIntelPro, Chaos and MK Ultra as well as the claims that the Manson Family murders and the ultimate end of the 60’s movement may have been brought on by our own government!

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and I want to thank you all so much for joining us today. It means so much to see that you’re still listening and sharing this podcast with others, but for those that are just joining us, I truly want to welcome you to the exchange. It’s your new thoughts and energy that help this podcast and community thrive. You listeners truly keep my energy up and things moving forward, because you are the most important part of this podcast. Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, and I look forward to your email, either from our website or you can contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you’re as excited to be here as I am to be back with you!

I want to thank Shawn Shumway for once again returning to be my foil while we discuss an amazing book that I believe everyone should read and learn more about, Tom O’neill’s Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the 60’s. This journalists' look at the 30th anniversary of the Manson Family murders turned into a 20 year obsession that I think breaks at least two of the biggest cases in the history of the United States. You should read this book, yes you, even after you listen to this podcast. I will not do it justice, but there are most definitely spoilers so consider yourself very forewarned. In the show notes, I’ve included a link where you can buy Tom O’neill’s book and support local bookstores at the same time. We’ll be telling the story in a different way and linking the players together from different angles, showing the connections that I can hypothesize freely about, while Tom O’Neill had to stick to what he could completely prove in the documents. I’ll be talking about CoIntelPro, Chaos, MKUltra, Jolly West, the JFK Assassination, the Manson Family Murders, and how the CIA may have successfully ended the 1960’s.

Oh, and before I move on, I want to thank wikipedia for providing the source of a lot of the facts that I flesh out the story that Tom O’neill did a much better job of in his 20 year thesis.

Welcome back friends! This week we’ve got a short update episode as we celebrate our one year anniversary and prepare for a new series touching on Operation Chaos and Tom O’Neill’s book on the topic.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and I’m recording this after a two month break, the longest in our short history, and I hope it stays that way. I say that as I also want to mention that this week officially marks our one-year anniversary here on Awakened Exchanges! Thank you all so much for the support over this last year and especially these last couple of months. It means so much to see that you’re still listening and sharing the exchange with others. For those that are just joining us now, I truly want to welcome you to the exchange. It’s all of you listeners bringing in new thoughts and energy to this podcast and community that was my goal in the first place. You truly keep my energy up and things moving forward, because you are the most important part of this podcast. Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I will continue to listen to the listeners, and I look forward to your emails, either from our website or direct messages on twitter @AwakenExchanges or Instagram @AwakenedExchanges. I hope you’re as excited to be here as I am to be back with you!

I’ve always tried to be vulnerable and open on this podcast, and I’ve spent the last couple of months working on trying to bring more order into my life as a whole. That meant getting Awakened Vapes squared away again, as well as trying to extricate myself from a past business venture before another year got away from me. After that, I took a little look at my life and tried to figure out where I was wasting the most time and how I could be more productive and fulfilled in my own life, while hopefully contributing something creative again. Trying to find a way to share interesting topics via this podcast really does help somewhat satiate that creativity craving , but it’s really in the exchanges where I think that energy flows. With that in mind, I’ve been working on a series that I hope will start airing next week with long-time friend of the podcast, Shawn Shumway coming back on for the discussion with me. That said, this week is going to be another quick solo update, as there is only so much time in the day and that time seems to be flying too quickly lately to fit in everyone’s schedule. Kind of weird to think about during a pandemic, but time seems to alternate between frozen and flying, but never quite passing in the way you’d like. Maybe that’s just me though.

Now, before we get to the update, here’s a brief rundown of our sponsors. First off, I want to thank all of you personally for your support. Just listening and sharing this podcast with your friends gives me a reason to keep providing the best content that I can. If you have the means and would like to contribute personally, please take a look at our Patreon page where you will get access to exclusive content and deals! 

This week is a shorter episode where I discuss the future of this podcast as well as Awakened Vapes.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and I’m recording this the weekend after I was at the Oregon Hempfest event that we sponsored with Awakened Vapes. We’ve had two weeks off and I haven’t touched my computer in that time. I’ve been doing my best to keep my spirits up, though it’s getting harder and harder as of late. Guests have been harder to come by as well, and I’m not quite sure why or what direction to head with the podcast. I’ll get into it more later in this episode, but I truly want to thank you again for joining us here on the exchange, you really do help keep my energy up and things moving forward. Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you’re as excited to be here as I am to be back with you!

This week’s episode is going to be a shorter one, in part because we’re back in the middle of another heatwave, but also because I haven’t had much luck getting guests to commit to a schedule. I know that it’s summer and people are busy doing things, so I try to keep that in mind. Everyone has been cooped up for more than a year and they’re trying to have a life, but I worry a bit, especially now as Covid cases are predictably surging and we’re ramping up for another round of hospitalizations and deaths this fall winter. I hope that we don’t end up having to deal with the lockdowns and restrictions of 2020 for 2022, but I’m not sure what the other options are going to be. Maybe people will start to really listen to Bret Weinstein and the doctor’s he’s been having on his shows to talk about Ivermectin and Covid prevention. It took more than a year for people to take him seriously about the potential of a lab leak, but now that looks like the more likely scenario. Kinda crazy to think about when saying that would have gotten you kicked off most platforms just a few months ago. Don’t worry about me going to in-depth about that though; I’m going to spend most of this episode talking about the future of this podcast and Awakened Vapes, the reason I started this show in the first place. Time to dive deep and be vulnerable again myself?

However, before we get into the show, here’s a brief rundown of our sponsors. First off, I want to thank all of you personally for your support. Just listening and sharing this podcast with your friends gives me a reason to keep providing the best content that I can. If you have the means and would like to contribute personally, please take a look at our Patreon page where you will get access to exclusive content and deals! As for our other sponsors, Awakened Vapes was the first of the Awakened Brands, and has been helping you modulate your high with CBD-only, high-terpene vape products since 2019. Genesis Pharms has been making the highest-quality medicinal RSO, among many other fantastic products, starting with the medical community back before 2010. And, last but not least, the Caramel Corn Company; bringing you caramel corn the way it was meant to be!

Kirsten Sandefur is an intuitive life coach, Reiki Master, remote viewer and esoteric healer. She owns and operates Psychic Babes, where she offers classes, psychic readings and past-life regressions. She is well-known for her knowledge and experience in dimension jumping, which is our focus on this episode of Awakened Exchanges.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and we’ve got a very special interview for you this week! Before we get to that, I just want to make sure you’re all aware that I’ve got some plans over the next couple of weeks, including getting ready for the Hempfest event that Awakened Vapes is sponsoring on July 17th & 18th. With that in mind, I’m working hard to get episodes ready going forward, but we will most likely be dark for the next two weeks. We should be back by July 27th, if not sooner. I’ll keep doing my best though, and I thank you again for  joining us here on the exchange. Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you’re as excited for this week’s interview as I am! 

This week’s episode has been a couple of months in the making. I first contacted Kirsten Sandefur after reading Nick Hinton’s second book, The Aquarian Singularity, in my preparation for a second interview with him that we could never get the timing pinned down on. I definitely recommend Nick’s books overall, and Kirsten’s story was definitely one of the highlights. She was one of the cofounders of the original Reddit Dimension Jumping group. I’ll let her tell more of her story and I have the feeling you’ll be as fascinated as I was. Dimension jumping is something that I can absolutely NOT prove exists, but it fits well into my personal psychedelic experiences and thoughts on the multiverse nature of the universe. If you’re a believer in the multiverse hypothesis, then the idea of infinite closely related dimensions that you could potentially slide into won’t be earth-shattering by any means, but I just want to say that I can’t provide you any direct evidence for it. Kirsten is earnest and comes off as credible and thoughtful. I don’t believe everybody’s stories, but while her experience is quite unique and requires some suspension of disbelief, it’s most definitely interesting and entertaining. I truly hope you enjoy this exchange as much as I did, as I hope to have her back on the show soon, as well as some others from her realm of contacts. And before I forget, Kirsten has been extremely generous and is offering a 20% discount on her services to listeners of Awakened Exchanges. You can book on her website, just make sure to mention that you heard about her on this podcast and she’ll take care of you well.

This week, I discuss the disappointing Pentagon Full-Disclosure Report, while at least getting to highlight the vastly more profound implications.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and we’ve got the final disclosure-month episode for you this week! Just so you’re aware, I’ve got some plans over the next couple of weeks, on top of getting ready for the Hempfest event that we’re sponsoring on July 17th & 18th, so I can’t guarantee that we’ll have new episodes ready each week in July. I’ll keep doing my best though, and I thank you again for  joining us here on the exchange. Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you’re as excited for this week’s topic as I am! 

This week’s episode is probably going to be a short one, in part because we’re in the middle of an unprecedented heatwave, so forgive any fan or AC noise you may hear, but also because I had held-off putting together much of an episode as I was anticipating having to read a 200+ page Disclosure Report, minimum. How’d that turn out? Well, I thought it was interesting that instead of releasing it right away on Friday, they waited so long into the day that it got released right after Derek Chauvin got sentenced to 22.5 years. That sentencing was rightfully making headlines right as the pentagon decided to release the NINE - that’s right NINE - page report. I could probably read the whole thing on air, but anyone listening would just fall asleep, god forbid while driving. So, with that in mind, I’m going to try to keep this week’s intro brief and then get right into our Disclosure Report. 

However, before we fully get into the show, here’s a brief rundown of our sponsors. First off, I want to thank all of you personally for your support. Just listening and sharing this podcast with your friends gives me a reason to keep providing the best content that I can.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and we’ve got another disclosure-related episode for you this week! In a very special episode, we’re actually teaming up with the Hush Hush Society’s Conspiracy Hour to talk about the Bob Lazar Story! I’m so grateful that you keep joining us here for the exchange, but remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests though, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you’re as excited for this topic as I am! 

I’m going to try to keep this week’s intro brief, but I want to thank the Hush Hush Society for coming onto the exchange and sharing this great conversation with me. On their normal Podcast they explore a lot of topics that I personally have dove into and found interesting; from their beginning talking about The Philadelphia Experiment and MK Ultra, through the assasnation of JFK and supposed suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, on into the aliens and Area 51 topic we cover on our show today. I hope that you get a chance to check out their show too, I think you’ll enjoy yourself for sure, I know I did. As for today’s topic, if you haven’t heard the name Bob Lazar before, then you’ve probably not explored UFO Disclosure much before, as he was the original UFO Whistleblower. We’ll get into his past as well as the things that people use to discredit him, but the more his story stays the same over the years, the more evidence starts to back him up. It’s fascinating.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and we’re about to get into another UFO episode for Disclosure month! Things have been getting busy for Awakened Vapes lately, especially as we expand our presence in Portland area stores, but so far I’m still keeping up with both them and the podcast. If that changes, I’ll try to let you know if we’re going to have a dark week, but I really do value our listeners, so If you have any suggestions for topics or guests though please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you keep joining us here for the exchange!

For this week’s intro rant, I’m going to talk about the UFO/UAP Disclosure going on, the report is officially scheduled to drop on the 24th or 25th of this month. That said, a lot of their conclusions have already been leaked and, surprise, surprise, it’s a big fat goose egg. No, not the craft they’re seeing, just what they’re going to tell us. They’re saying that there’s nothing to suggest that it’s aliens, but there’s nothing to suggest it’s not either. The UAP equivalent of, “we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of aliens.” So let’s think about the other options: Is it China? Or Russia? Wouldn’t either of those options be even worse? The fact that either of those countries possess a technology that we can’t duplicate or explain would mean Game Over if these cold wars turned hot. Personally, I think they’re both working more on hacking warfare and psyops, but I suppose it’s at least possible that they have Tic-Tac-Tech. What other options are there? Swamp gas and weather balloons? Holograms? Our own classified drones? Maybe they’re trying to distract us? But if they’re trying to distract us, it’s not working very well. It seems like 90% of America is just shrugging their shoulders like this isn’t one of the biggest stories to ever come out. The media is talking about it, but then just changing the subject back to political in-fighting because that gets better ratings. Would people be more interested if they had some history behind these sightings?

Well, that actually segues nicely into this week’s interview with Josh Perkins, one of my former co-workers from Rose City Labs, who’s UFO enthusiasm is contagious! He came on to talk about Disclosure and to also share some of his UFO History research. Look out for links to some more of our Great Awakening Map series as well, from the Secret Space Program to Wener Von Braun and other Nazi links, such as the Vrill Society. I want to thank him for coming onto the exchange and sharing not only his research, but a great conversation with me.

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and I want to thank you all again for joining me on the exchange. We’re almost halfway through this year and it’s still hard to believe how fast time flies. Before we get into the intro this week, I just wanted to mention that Awakened Vapes will be one of the Sponsors of the Oregon Hempfest this year! This is the first and only licensed Hempfest outside of Seattle and it will be held in Oakland, OR underneath some amazingly beautiful skies on July 17th and 18th of this year. I hope you get the chance to join us there! If you have any suggestions for topics or guests though, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope to have a full, diverse, and interesting schedule this year, so keep joining us here for the exchange!

I’m going to skip any rant or outside topic to start the show this week, mostly because I’m focused on a few things that I want to share with you in the coming weeks. But that said, as Awakened Brands dream of building a self-sustained planned community gets closer to fruition, I’ve had the good fortune of meeting a lot of people like this week’s guest, Chelsea Jeter. Chelsea and I met up while I was in Austin and had a great off air conversation about how she transitioned into Holistic Health, including Ayurveda and Reiki healing techniques. I want to thank her for coming onto the exchange and sharing this wonderful conversation with me. I hope that it helps to explain a bit more about why Holistic Health and Wellness is an important thing for

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and we’ve got a great interview for you here this week. Keith “KO Kid” Berry joins us for a talk about his MMA Career as well as his current Cannabis and Cryptocurrency adventures. I think you’ll really enjoy it, but I also want to remind you that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests though, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope to have a full, diverse, and interesting schedule this year, so keep joining us here for the exchange.

I’ve noticed that I have less and less random political crap playing over and over, taking up space in my head each week since Big Orange has been out of office, but that doesn’t mean it has stopped by any means. This week I did want to mention something that we’ve been talking about on the podcast since the very beginning basically, and that’s Covid. I can’t remember which episode intro we mentioned it on, but I’ve been a proponent of Bret Weinstein and his assertion that we need to at least look into the Lab Leak Hypothesis since at least the middle of last year. It’s been a very interesting couple of weeks as the media has started to actually take notice and look into this subject. I’ve never said that it was an intentional leak, and that’s not the point. We just need to accurately know how and why this started so that we can put processes in place to prevent or at least identify potential disasters like this faster in the future. We’ve had over 590,000 deaths so far in the U.S. alone, and over 3.5 million total worldwide. That’s a lot of people to lose no matter what, despite whatever comorbidity factors may have existed, all because of an accident within a lab. I’m not saying that that’s for sure what happened, but there is definitely a preponderance of evidence stacking up in that direction and if we’d been actually been looking into it seriously for the last year instead of dismissing it as “conspiracy theory,” then maybe we’d be a lot closer to an answer. Now we just sit back and wait, hoping that it doesn’t mutate into a more virulent or deadly strain.

Enough on that rant for today though, I’m sure you’re only vaguely interested in my opinion, if that. I do want to give this week’s guest, Keith Berry, a bit more of an introduction though. Keith got his nickname, the “KO Kid,” very early in his career, scoring three knockouts in under a minute in just his first 6 fights. He continued his bruiser ways throughout his King of the Cage and Bellator career, scoring 17 wins, 12 by way of knockout and 3 more by submission. After Covid slowed down the fight scene, he took some time to follow another passion, the cannabis community. Then, as he had some more free time, he began to explore the world of cryptocurrency. He’s had a fascinating life thus far and I want to thank him for coming onto the exchange and sharing a great conversation with me. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

This is an ECETI Special! A firsthand account of the mysterious ECETI Ranch, which is dedicated to Enlightened Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence. They were featured on the Great Awakening Map, and included in our Ancient Aliens & Earth Rising Episode (Episode 30).

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and you’re listening to a very special episode! I’ve just returned from my month-long road trip, and we capped it off with a night at the ECETI ranch near Mt. Adams in Washington. I’m not going to spoil the ending here, but I will say that Chris, Shawn and I had a great night filled with good conversations and beautiful skies. You’ll have to listen to the rest of the podcast to hear more. And as you know, I am always on the lookout for other interesting topics or guests, so please feel free to email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I’ll keep bringing you as many interesting episodes as I can through 2021 and beyond!

This episode is going to be a little different as it’s a single episode and a fairly deep dive, but we still won’t be able to cover everything. You may remember that ECETI was featured on the Great Awakening Map and included in our series on said map. You can hear a little in Episode 30, in the Ancient Aliens section, but this podcast will contain my firsthand experience up at ECETI Ranch itself. We stayed on Friday, May 21st and into the morning of the 22nd. It was an unforgettable experience, as was my conversation with James Gilliland himself. He may even come on the podcast someday to tell his family’s story as well as that of the ranch. I’m not holding my breath by any means, but it would be a very interesting story to say the least.
