A two-hour Thanksgiving Day broadcast from Paul English, recorded on Thursday 23 November 2023 and mirrored by Global Voice Radio Network, WBN324 and Freefall Radio. Two American callers, Brian and Paul, join for most of the show, making this one of the more conversational and wide-ranging episodes in the series.
The first hour opens with reflections on Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims of 1621, and Black Friday, before turning to the JFK assassination on its 60th anniversary. The host plays Kennedy's famous 1962 “secret societies” speech and a Jeff Rense commentary clip, then caller Paul introduces an alleged undelivered JFK speech about extraterrestrial contact. Brian steers the conversation to Sabbatai Zevi, the self-declared messiah of 1666, and Jakob Frank, tracing a line from 17th-century antinomian cults to modern symbolism. After a Pentangle music break, the callers discuss John Calhoun's 1972 mouse-utopia experiment, the hope experiment with rats, and a critique of automation and commercial life, with the host arguing for the value of cash transactions and slow human contact.
The second hour revisits the alleged JFK speech (replayed cleanly via Skype), then ranges through lost books, Lawrence Merrick's Killing of the Messenger, Williams' Legions of the Damned, and caller Paul's esoteric account of Francis Bacon and St Germain. The host gives an extended recommendation of Tupper Saussy's Rulers of Evil, the story of a tax resister who spent twenty years on the run researching Jesuit power structures. Geert Wilders' Dutch election victory and the 2024 US election are briefly discussed. The host then recommends Benton Bradbury's The Myth of German Villainy (new Money Tree Publishing edition with a Tom Goodrich foreword), and Brian offers revisionist claims about the Second World War. The final segment covers Obama's use of NLP, the difference between an organised revolution and a genuine uprising (the 1381 Peasants' Revolt as example), and a closing plug for a possible new show, “The Slapdash Radio Hour”.
This episode contains contested historical interpretations, revisionist claims about the Second World War, and unverified conspiratorial assertions.
